ELEVEN
But instead of wasting my time thinking, I chose to go to malls for at least I can pamper myself. I bought some clothes and sandals. The old one I have is very rebellious. I also bought flat shoes. Also for Hunter, I bought clothes and shoes for him.
After I finished shopping. I went to a bookstore cafe. I ordered a mocha latte and sat in the corner. I remember those times when Kyla and I were still together. We often hung out in the cafe to insult the attendees. We laugh at whoever entered the cafe and said that they are feeling rich. We call them losers for pretending but nothing but a gold-digger.
Sometimes we secretly insult couples. If we saw the guy is handsome we call the man charmed by the woman or the woman paid on him. We did nothing but laugh at the situation of the others. Now, when everyone knows my situation. They’re probably going to laugh at me for being a battered and bedwarmer wife.
I remember how close Kyla and I were. But after the wedding, we lost contact. I want to know how she is, but every time I remember Hunter, I lose my longing to be with her again. Not now, not ever, until Hunter will love me.
I suddenly remembered the day Kyla introduced Hunter to me. They were just entering the cafe when suddenly I feel everything around me had slowed down when I saw Hunter. I feel like I am on cloud nine, watching a man walking towards me.
When Kyla introduced him to me there was some kind of electricity in my palm that flowed through my whole being when he held my hand. My spine shiver when he looks at me. And that day I started to feel annoyed with Kyla when she hugged Hunter. I get annoyed when Hunter squeezes Kyla’s nose.
So when Kyla simplified going to the bathroom I immediately talked to Hunter behind Kylas’s back. Saying bad things about her. Not totally bad, because what I said is
true.
I said it was a good thing, that Kyla already moved on with her boyfriend right away. Which is just a one-month since they broke. Actually, not just a boyfriend, but a live-in partner. I said I was wondering how Kyla easily forgot Vince to think that she almost killed herself just to be with Vince.
But of course, I said that I am thankful that finally, Kyla found her match. A man who can love her because she deserves to be happy. Because of the excessive chasing he does to Vince, that guy broke her a lot, but she still comes back to Vince.
I also said I was thankful because she accepted Kyla and loved her, even though she slept with different men every night.
“Hey!” I get back to reality when I saw a man standing in front of me carrying coffee. He looks familiar but I don’t remember him. “Amp! The one who rang the doorbell.” He introduced himself.
“Yeah, yeah. Right,” I said with a smile as I remembered the man who had mistaken the doorbell at home.
“I don’t look at you very well, you look different. Anyway can I?” I sighed and let him set.
“Sure.”
“I’m sorry for what happened. It looks like your husband is angry.” I just smiled at what he said. That was one month ago, a lot of things happened to me after that.
“That was a month ago.” I sipped a coffee. “It’s ok,” I said then looked away.
These past few days, I seem to be blacking out without knowing it. I could not understand what was happening to me. I know where Am I, and what I have done.
But, sometimes I am wondering what happens around and I get there.
“Are you ok?” I looked at him then nodded. Then averted my gaze and looked away again.
“Yeah,” I simply replied. Maybe he noticed I was an idiot. Lately, I’ve been noticing that too. Sometimes Hunter pours water on me just to get me back to reality. I don’t know if I’m in deep thought about how to get Hunter’s love so I’m stunned or my brain is really stuck because of the amount of work I do.
“Asher Miller.” He introduced himself at once out of reach. I looked at his hand then looked at him. He smiled at me then brought his hand closer. “Hey, I said I’m Asher,” he repeated.
“Huh? Ah, Hailey, My name is Hailey, you can call me Ley.” Am I that stupid again. He simply introduces himself but it takes time before I understand what happens.
He started to talk to me and ask me some random questions. I didn’t understand anything else he was saying but I managed to answer it. I don’t know if my answer is right or wrong as long as I answer. I don’t know his purpose, but I have this feeling that I should have to trust him.
He was holding notes that I didn’t know what. As if everything I say he writes. He started to ask me for some personal information, I give him some limited answers.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
I also said that I wish he wouldn’t talk to me when I was with Hunter. He said he understands. After I spoke he told me some information about him.
Honestly, I didn’t understand anything he said except he said he was a military graduate. And he was a doctor and had a plan to build a hospital. He has a sister and both of them grew up in the USA and they leave beside our unit.
After we talk I said goodbye.
I will cook food for Hunter, and also I don’t want him to see that I have a man with me. He was still angry.
Asher did not react and said there was no problem. He also let me go.
