I HATE YOU, BUT
#1
“Beauty once my daughter.”
I just smiled as I could when my mom saw my reflection in the mirror. He approached me.
“ Mommy did not expect you finally married too.” her cleanly moved while gently stroking my hair.
“I'm not married, Mother. Isn't tonight I'm just going to meet him, the candidate that Dad chose to be my husband” I said pretentiously made happy.
Am I not a great liar? I pretended to be happy in front of my parents.
“Alright, alright. Mother wait for you outside. Don't dress up too long because you are sure, without dressing up you can still make Davian fascinated” Mother rolled her naughty eyes before leaving the room.
I breathe heavily. Fernandez Davian. That's my future husband's name. I don't even know what he looks like. I grabbed the phone lying on the dresser and looked at the wallpaper of my phone showing a picture of me with Malvin when we went to the Island of the Gods last month. Ah, I really miss him.
•••
At the Fernandez family residence, we had a warm conversation like a family. To this day I still don't know why I wanted to impress Fernandez's family so much. Is it because of the treasure?
Given that the Fernandez family is the owner of the Hyundai Department Store and I make sure their assets are worth tens of millions of dollars. I admit they were so friendly and kind. Mrs Fernandez even gave me encouragement when I was his son's wife. She is typical of a warm mother like Mother. But I'm sure that's not the reason. Although our family was middle class, Dad never required me to marry a rich man.
“Davian..what is he like?” I was very curious because after an hour we talked in this room, Davian's figure had not been seen the trunk of his nose. Mrs Fernandez said her son may be busy with work in the office. I impeached.
“Ah, He's a good boy. You will love it when you meet.”
I answered with a smile. All mothers would say that. I was wondering what it looked like because I didn't find a single photo of Davian in this room.
My phone was embroidered so loud that it caught the attention of everyone around to turn towards me.
“Sorry, I have to answer the phone.” I bent my head for a moment and went outside. Once I was in a noise-free place, I immediately pressed the green button.
“Hallo..” my word as often as possible. I can't deny my heart is still beating fast because soon I'll hear Malvin's voice.
“How are you?”
“Good.” I replied briefly. I circulated the view to the front yard of the Fernandez family house which was neatly arranged and quite spacious.
“Thank God. You know Alena, I'm at the airport now.”
I was a little surprised to hear that. “Where are you going?”
“Ke Japan. For a few weeks I want to calm down there.”
“Really?” without me knowing my voice was getting weaker.
I was sad to hear Malvin say so. I'm sorry for hurting an innocent man like you.
“I've heard from my sister about your marriage. Congratuations. I may not be able to come but I will always pray for you from wherever I am.”
Stuffy. My chest is getting claustrophobic hearing it. My God, where did this rumor come from? I haven't even met my future husband while news of my wedding plans has spread everywhere?
I bowed my head trying to hold back the tears. “I'm sorry.”
“It's okay. There's nothing to forgive. All right, I hope you're happy Alena Kezia. Maybe after I get back you've got a new clan in front of your name. Now I just wish you could come back to me even though it feels impossible.”
I just opened my mouth when Malvin suddenly disconnected. I stared at my phone. In this way, our relationship officially ended.
My lungs feel tight and sore to make it difficult for me to breathe. The tears are in the eye and ready to fall. But my sadness was like yawning somewhere when I heard some foreign voices behind me. I turned my body slowly to see what was going on.
A metallic gray coupe stopped right in front of the porch. Shortly after, a man got out of the car. My eyes glare at him. The young man was about 27 years old with an office suit attached to his body.
Could it be Davian Fernandez? I almost stepped closer but my steps stopped when I saw a girl coming down from another door. The girl approached the smiling man looking at her. They don't even realize my existence.
And the scene I saw next really made my whole body fixated.
