We, Without Me

Lying and Manipulative

“I know before Nindy you actually like me?” Alia asked in a very confident voice.

“I know, Kev. I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I was also worried because Saka also likes me.” Alia continued to say, her tone seemed to imply regret that could not be repaired again.

“You know?” Keven asked in a high intonation. Surprised at the words of Alia. It can be ascertained that Keven's eyes have been wide open, his heart is pounding unbecoming because something he considers a secret is precisely known to Alia.

“Iya, I know. I love you too. I don't want to lose you, Kev.” Alia said with a glaring eye that almost made Keven melt. But an invitation that Yuki threw to his face in the restaurant parking lot made Keven aware of Alia's sweet expression.

“Then mean this invitation what?”

“Un-What invitation? What invitation do you mean?” Alia's voice stammered, it had clearly crossed her mind something that was still very much avoided.

“This!” Keven said flat, even impressed cold there is no concern in one word in short.

“Where did you get this invitation? The saka? I-I don't know anything, Kev.” Alia said rejecting the evidence of an invitation sample that she was very familiar with.

“This might be a surprise that Saka wants to give me. I don't know anything, Kev.” Imbuh Alia was quick with a voice that sounded vibrating.

“You don't act crazy, Alia! Soon you are married to Saka and you deny this?!”

Clip.

The recording of the sound was turned off Saka. Smiling wryly laughing at her broken love story, Saka looked at the frozen Keven.

Strayed in disbelief at his hearing, Keven returned Saka's gaze with his pupils shrunk questioningly. The chatter between him and Alia about five months or half a year ago was really well recorded. Although not entirely, but that's the point of their conversation.

“Da-.”

Not yet had Keven finish one word at the beginning of the speech he wanted to throw, a new sound recording played back. Keven who was still surprised was only able to get more and more fixated.

“Can't, Al. You and I are just friends, nothing more. Didn't I ask you to talk carefully with Saka if you're not ready for your wedding?” Reject Keven firmly, sounding very upset, angry and desperate.

“You are now Saka's wife. Whether first, now or later, our relationship will be nothing more than friendship.” Said Keven again with a higher voice.

“I don't want to, Kev! Although I married Saka, but my love for you!” Alia's words were interspersed with sobbing sounds, begging desperately to Keven who seemed reluctant to care about her.

“Then why did you not want to break up from Saka?” Keven asked pensively, the veins on his temple stood out as a result of restraining the mounting emotions.

“A-I.”

“You just don't want to let go of the two of us, Al. I love you, but we can't gini.” Sela Keven cut off Alia's stammering speech.

“We can keep in touch behind Saka even though I'm already her wife. After all we've been close, Saka would not be suspicious. So don't stay away from me, Kev.” Alia said forcefully. Alia's self-esteem vanished in Keven's eyes right then and there.

“You can use this opportunity, just assume you reply to him so you break even.” Alia's words again provoked Keven who frowned in astonishment.

“What do you mean?” Ask Keven who does not understand the meaning of Alia's words.

“Nindy. Yes, Nindy your ex-boyfriend was actually just told Saka to approach you. You played with them. Do you believe me?” Alia said loudly with a smile that was painted at the beginning of her words.

“Try you remember again, after you broke up and know Nindy likes Saka, you often see them both found right? I've been telling you for a long time that Saka is not paying attention to me, still likes the lyrics of other women, but I dare not say about Nindy and Saka.”

“All that is just a coincidence.” Keven denied convincing himself, though he was slightly affected and aghast by Alia's remarks.

“Gak, Kev. You have to trust me!”

“Al-.”

Brakes.

Clip.

The sound of falling objects ended the recording of the sound that played out for a long time. The sound of the impact also cut off the sound of Keven who was about to speak in the recording on the phone that now Saka clutches tightly.

“Gue really wants nonjok elo. But I can bear to remember all this time we were good friends.” Said Saka with an angry growling voice.

“Lo can where the tape is?” Keven asked with a cold aura. His hands clenched at the side of the body wanted to forcefully snatch Saka's phone, but Keven realized he should not act childishly. All can be discussed without the need to provoke a commotion that ends in a jotos.

“Gue doesn't know since when our friendship was destroyed. All this time Alia always said that Elo who approached him when I asked. And need to know, I swear never plunged elo in the game Nindy. Even from elo know, I just knew that Nindy likes me from this recording.” Said Saka panang wide, ignoring Keven's question.

It was so tight that Saka's chest had to hear the confession of love from a woman who had the status of his wife to another man. Even the man in the voice recording is the friend who is now facing Saka.

“About Nindy and me who you have seen several times, it is all a coincidence for me, do not know that Nindy. Maybe since then Alia knows that Nindy likes me. For me to want Nindy, Ninda, Nindo, even Nando who likes me, I don't care! My love is only for Alia. But apparently a bastard like me finally got this sweet karma.”

Sighing in frustration, Saka raised his face. Trying to block the tears that have filled the eyes that heat up. He who often bergonta-pair just to trick the real feelings on Alia, hurt dozens of women during dating without love. At this time Saka feels that he is receiving a reply through Alia who plays with the sincerity of Saka's love in their marriage.

“Can't be Alia lying. Elo must be making it up, right? I have known Alia much longer than elo!” Read Keven to Saka who only responded to a slanted smile and a sad look in the eyes.

Shaking weakly, Saka chuckled at Keven who looked like he was consumed with all the doctrines of Alia's sentence. “Now I know that Alia is a liar and manipulative. He's not the Alia we've known. Moreover, Alia your little friend first, she has changed. It's up to you to believe it or not the same thing I said.”

Inserting the phone into his pants pocket, Saka turned the body intending to leave Keven's room. His arrival who wanted to beat Keven instantly evaporated as flashes of memories of their struggle to raise a restaurant called Lux Fantasy were depicted in every corner of the room he used to use.

“Where did you get that recording?” Once again Keven asked, stopping Saka's footsteps with his hands that had reached the doorknob that was not fully closed.

“Yuki.” Saka answered briefly before his figure completely disappeared from before Keven's eyes.
