The Will of Love

Ch 63's. My story

Meli looked at Arya who was sitting in the cafe, where Arya was waiting for her. Arya looked at Meli who had just come, then she smiled as much as Meli.

"Sorry wait a long time, the road is so jammed." Meli said beginning their conversation.

"It's okay." Arya said as she continued to look at Meli.

Meli returned Arya's gaze, then she looked at Arya's smile. It was undeniable that the man was indeed similar to Aris. For a moment Aris's face and smile seemed to be on Arya's face. Meli also lowered her gaze, so that she did not get carried away by the atmosphere of longing for Aris.

"Mel, thank you for giving me a chance." Aryan.

Meli only smiled slightly and looked at Arya for a moment, then lowered her gaze again.

"Mel, can you tell me about Aris's accident that killed her?" Aryan.

Meli sighed, then she stared at the work intently.

"OK, I'll tell you," said Meli.

Arya was getting ready to listen to Meli's story, without wanting to miss a single story that would be told by Meli.

"But, in this story there will be the name of Alisya and Frans Alisya's nephew. Is it okay if I blame them in my story?" Tanya Meli, before she tells about the accident experienced by Aris.

"It's okay." Aryan Emphatic.

Meli nodded, then she began to tell the story six years ago.

"I was a poor girl who tried my luck in Jakarta, at that time I did not finish High School. I dropped out of school due to cost issues, at the last second I faced the high school graduation exam.

In order to help the family finances, I finally migrated to Jakarta assisted by a maid agency. Since then I started my story in Jakarta as a maid."

Arya looked at Meli, she felt that Meli's story was no stranger to her. However, he did not dare to cut off Meli's story. Meli was ready to meet him, she was grateful enough. Therefore, Arya tried to continue to listen to the story of the woman.

"Lucky I was hired by two very kind people. They are Mr. Aris and Mrs Retno."

"Mrs Retno suffered from end-stage leukemia, at that time her condition was so severe. So I was hired as a special servant to serve Mrs Retno."

"After three months of working with the family, Lady Retno finally gave up, Mrs Retno died in the arms of her husband named Aris."

Arya squinted her eyes, suddenly she saw a shadow of a very authoritative beautiful woman from her past.

"Remiss?" Mumbled.

"Why Mas?" Ask Meli with worry.

Meli was very scared when Arya suddenly fainted like that time.

"It's okay, please continue."

Meli nodded, after she convinced Arya that it was okay, Meli continued her story.

"Short story short, I and Mr. Aris were forced to obey the will. I was nineteen years old. I just passed the package C exam because I was schooled by Mr. Aris at Madam Retno's request."

Arya nodded her head trying to digest Meli's story.

"For months we lived a loveless home. I was finally educated by my husband. On campus I had a senior who was so crazy about me. No one knew that I was married, so my senior kept approaching me. Aris was jealous, and we realized that we were in love. Aris also warned my senior Frans not to approach me because I was his wife."

"Frans is Alisya's niece, who is also Aris's former lover while in High School. Like a coincidence indeed, Alisya who did not know Aris was married again, came back to Aris."

Meli gulps her order avocado juice. Then, he came back to tell stories.

"Frans and Alisya knew about our marriage. They don't accept that reality. Trouble starts, Alisya who still loves my husband tries to trap my husband and make us almost go our separate ways."

Suddenly, an image of Arya's past comes to light. He saw Meli in the train car. He saw himself persuading Meli to go home.

"Then you get out of the house, get on the train and Aris persuades you to come home?" Ask Arya.

Meli was surprised by Arya's words, she looked at the man in disbelief.

"How did you know?" Meli asked with a serious face.

"Let me tell you, continue your story." Aryan.

Meli scrunched her forehead, then she continued her story.

"Yes, I left home because I misunderstood Aris. However, Aris managed to convince me that she was innocent. It was only trapped by Alisya who was crazy about him. I went back home after Aris persuaded me at the train station."

"One week later I went to college, I found my car tyre flat. As I was trying to call for help from the nearest workshop, a black car passed in front of me. Quickly someone in the car pulled me and took me into their car."

Meli sighed heavily. The events of six years ago, when she was kidnapped by Frans quite traumatized her.

"I was taken away to a Villa in Bandung. Lately I found out the person who had kidnapped me was Frans the nephew of Alisya. At that time I did not realize that I was pregnant with Aris's child. I was held in Villa Frans for two weeks. Somehow, Aris managed to find out where I was. The night of the accident, Aris was on her way to Frans' villa to pick me up. At that time, I managed to escape from villa Frans with the help of someone. I ran down the river in the middle of a cold night. After some time I finally found a way through to the highway. I was stupid at the time, I panicked. So I crossed the highway without looking left and right before crossing. A high-speed car almost hit me, the driver dodged me until his car got into the abyss. I was so shocked that I fell on the asphalt. At first, I didn't know that the car that had just fallen into the abyss was my husband Aris' car."

Tears began to melt on Meli's cheeks.he was downcast then began to cry bitterly. While arya like starting to remember everything because of Meli's story.

Still sobbing, Meli continued her story.

"I'm in shock, because I'm a wretched person. I also fainted right on the edge of the ravine. The next day I realized that the one who fell in the ravine was Aris, when the police told me that Aris' car fell into the ravine and caught fire. I was depressed because the cause of the accident was me, especially when I was pregnant with Aris's child." Said Meli while wiping her tears.

"I buried Aris's body myself which could hardly be recognized." Say Meli again with a choked voice.

Arya let out a long sigh, then she looked at the woman in front of her with a pityful look.

"Therefore I do not believe and do not understand why Mas Arya claimed to be Aris. While Aris is dead, how can Arya mas is Aris? what kind of joke is this?" Meli said as she looked at Arya sharply.

"We don't need to talk about that first, which I want to ask you Do you want to listen to my story?" Arya asked while returning Meli's gaze with a pleading look.
