The Untouched Heart

Chapter 49 - A Mistake

I don't know how long I've been sitting in the bathtub and letting the shower water wash over me. I don't feel cold at all. I don't feel anything. She kissed me, caressed me, until it was all over, I felt nothing.

As soon as he took me into that hotel room, he finished it all. He had fallen asleep by my side while I was still trying to process what I had just done with him. I didn't wait until he woke up to clean myself as best I could in the bathroom and went home.

The man who had filled my heart and mind all along, who I could not get out of my head, was unable to give me the answer I was looking for. Why isn't my heart beating for him? Why isn't my body craving it? Isn't he the only man I love?

Then if I don't love her anymore, what makes me want to be kissed and taken to a hotel to sleep with her? I really didn't understand what was controlling my mind at the time. Am I just curious? Want to know how it feels to be with her? Is that what happened a few hours ago?

As soon as the drowsiness took hold of me, I stood up, turned off the shower water, and came out of the bathtub. I put on one of my nightgowns and lay on the bed without waiting for my hair to not get damp anymore. What happened tonight is nothing to remember.

My parents and parents visited on that Sunday. I like the surprise they gave me. They don't usually come together. Maybe they think that I'm lonely without my husband being with me. They each brought me a dish I liked. Yuyun did not have to bother to cook anymore. There is also a section for workers.

We had lunch together and they continued to tease me who ate a large portion by adding food to my plate. It's a good thing Zach didn't come too or I'm going to be alone in facing an attack from my family. I have suspected for a long time. Did they know I was pregnant?

After chatting casually while enjoying drinks and cakes in the family room, they paid their respects. I invited them to dinner together, but they refused. They want to go home immediately so as not to get stuck in traffic and can take my dad and mom home first. They hugged me alternately before getting into the car, then the atmosphere of the house was quiet again when I entered alone.

But it didn't last long because Hendra called me and we talked together when I had dinner. I didn't feel alone in the room hearing him tell me about his dealings with Xavier that could be resolved.

“What do you want, baby? I'll take the time to shop tomorrow. Xavier and Annora forced me to come to the mall with them.” He sighed softly to dramatize. I'm laughing a little.

“I don't want anything. You've given me so much stuff, Hendra.” I said it in a serious tone so that he would not buy anything for me.

“I let Annora pick it for you. You women usually have the same taste,” god. Hearing him mention the name of the kind woman, I miss the atmosphere of London. It has been a long time not going there.

Hendra's going home, so I buy groceries to make his favorite menu for the next week. He must be tired of eating European food and want to enjoy his own specialties again. The trolley I pushed was much fuller than usual, so I chose the counter of the cashier closest to me.

“Hai, babe.” Someone suddenly hugged my waist and kissed my cheek. I immediately distanced myself from him.

“What do you mean, Ra? I greet you,” he said with a frown.

“You promised that the treaty was the last. You won't bother me anymore.” Reminded him.

“What? We've been more than just old friends, Ra. Did you forget what happened that night?” tanyanya's confused.

“I don't want to talk about it. Keep your promise and stay away from me. What you're doing is not healthy. This is no longer a coincidence.” I pushed the trolley to the cashier. I could have left this place as soon as possible and left the trolley but I've spent so much time shopping. I don't want to repeat from the beginning.

“Today is no coincidence. I know you'll come on Monday or Thursday like when we first met. But it looks like you only shop on Mondays because you didn't come on last Thursday.” He's still standing near me. “What is this, Ra? Does your husband know what's going on? Tell me, did he hurt you?”

“Do not touch me.” I backed off as he grabbed me. “I just want you to keep your promise and stay away from me.”

“Good. I'll be back when your emotions are gone. Please, take good care of yourself. I love you.” He dared to say that last sentence and disregard his own promise? Who the hell is he? He is not the Aldo I know.

On the way home, I felt Kafin looking at me several times through the front view mirror. After the night I went to the hotel with Aldo without telling Liando, the attitude of the workers at home changed for me. They become more worried. No. gabe. It would be more appropriate if I called, they were terrified.

They must have guessed what I did with Aldo that night. Moreover, Abdi welcomed me home in a state of chaos. Only a miracle can shut everyone's mouth. I don't know until when I can cover it up with Hendra before anyone tells him. Hopefully he will never know.

Abdi and Liando helped Kafin unload all the grocery bags in the trunk of the car. I went into the house with only one bag. The first thing I did was take a shower. I didn't like the touch Aldo left on my cheeks and the rest of my body. Men's promises can't be held. How dare he show up again.

After putting on clothes, I approached the grocery bag and kept some of my makeup in the sideboard. My eyes looked at a map as I was about to close the drawer. My memory soon returned on the day Hendra was so angry with me.

Two days without feeling anything, my heart beat back quickly. My hand holding the map was shaking. My legs began to feel weak, unable to support my own body. I sat on the edge of the bed. Yeah, God. What have I done? I betrayed my own husband. And my family will suffer the consequences.

Mama has just recovered from surgery and is so happy with her life now with Papa. They also live in a comfortable home enjoying their old age. Then Zach, my brother in love, who just found the courage to take it more seriously with the woman who had loved him for a long time. What will happen to them?
