The Undone Story
The Hope Deterred

...CHAPTERS 17...

...The Hope Dashed...

Vicky and Vira were still unmoved on the spot, both of them facing each other and staring at each other. Irfan just sighed and turned his face to wipe the clear water in the corner of his eyes, his heart was filled to see their meeting, which ended to no longer be together.

"It's better that Mrs Vicky and Mrs Vira find a quiet place to talk about it" Irfan suggested to them.

Hearing Irfan's suggestion, Vicky and Vira nodded in agreement, then looked for a place to chat. Coincidentally across from them there is an Outdoor Cafe, then the three cross the road to the cafe. The two sat facing. Irfan sat alone behind Vira. Give both of them a chance to talk from heart to heart.

"So, are you really married?" Vicky re-opened his voice after a long time they were silent and did not look at each other, because of awkwardness in themselves. There was a tremor on his lips as he said.

Vira nodded softly in response, continuing to lower her head, her gaze focused only on her two hands that were now tightly clinging to each other above her thighs, nervous. Still with feelings that cannot be explained in words. Should he be upset, or miss Vicky? Vira doesn't know if there's still love in her heart for Vicky? which Vira thought their relationship had actually been completed a long time ago. But not for Vicky himself, who never thought the relationship was over.

"It's been.. How long?"

"It's only been five months..." Vira's getting down.

"Do you love that guy?" asked Vicky again, making Vira look at him quite surprised.

"You mean, my husband?" sela Vira scrunched her forehead Vicky nodded faintly with a flimsy smile.

"Of course, I love him so much... Otherwise, there's no way I'd want to marry her, right?!" he chimed in with a slightly cynical tone.

Vira turned her face again not wanting to see the face of Vicky who might be disappointed to hear it. While Vicky continues to try to pay attention to the look on Vira's face, looking for the lies that are in there. It is true that Vira loves another man besides himself, who is now the man who does not know who Vicky is, but for him, the man is very lucky to have made Vira his wife. Is there still love for him? Vicky again wondered in his already wounded heart. Her chest feels so tight.

"Oh, thank goodness that's the case." said Vicky quietly barely audible. A quick swab of clear water in the corner of his eye. "I'm glad to hear that. May you always be happy with the man of your choice, Vira" he said with a smile, with Vicky trying to accept this fact. Maybe Vira is not the soul mate God gave her. Disappointed, certainly. Heartbroken, certainly.

"Thank you very much." said Vira, slightly stunned to hear it. It was as if he had become guilty of disappointing such a sincere man as Vicky. "I'm sorry, if I let you down." he said again, who was joined by Vicky afterwards.

"Oh yeah, then let's order some food. Because we're already here. Let me buy you both dinner. Consider it this, to celebrate our reunion... Hopefully we can get together like we used to and keep making friends." said Vicky. Vira and Irfan nodded not rejecting him.

Vicky immediately called the waiters cafe and ordered food for them. Irfan who had been sitting alone while playing his phone, pretended not to hear their conversation. Move and sit between them.

An hour passed. After they finished eating together. Vicky returns home, he wants to take Vira and Irfan home. But both refused and did not want to bother him again. Though Vicky did not feel bothered at all. Actually in her heart, Vicky was curious to see and meet her husband Vira. Maybe just want to get acquainted and convey a little of his message. But Vira says that it's already night. Maybe next time they'll be introduced.

Vicky went back home with empty hopes, feeling self-destructed, because half of his life had spent waiting for a Vira. Her tears just kept melting and not stopping. Just this time he felt a deep heartbreak.

The car stopped on a long bridge. Vicky grabbed the bouquet of roses he had kept from earlier, then got out of the car. Standing by the side of the bridge he threw the flower into the lake. A bouquet of red roses, a flower that Vira has always loved so far floating on the surface of the lake. Perlaha washed away by the flow of water blown by the night wind.

Let it be, let love go away like the flower that takes it away somewhere not knowing the direction.

The apartment door in dikaya and enter. Not found Dika inside. Her husband has not yet returned home either. Vira frowned in wonder.

"Tumben kon hasn't come home yet?"

Vira sighed heavily and then she walked straight to the kitchen, took some water and sat down on the chair and took the blood-boosting vitamin she had bought at the pharmacy.

After taking the vitamins, Vira stepped into her room, laying her tired body on the bed. Besides being physically tired, tired in his mind as well. Still imagined in his mind, when the face disappointed Vicky because of it. His handsome face still remains the same, only his appearance is more authoritative and charismatic. He said it was more calm, not like before that was very easy to feel. Honestly Vira felt amazed by the change now. In his little heart Vira prayed, may Vicky be happy and get more substitutes from him.

Meanwhile, Vicky just got to his house. He glanced astonished at the car Dika parked in the courtyard of his house. His forehead is crinkling deep.

"Ck, why did Sindy bring the man into the house without my permission! I let them be together but that doesn't mean I want him to stop by my house!" his gerutu, very upset because Sindy dared to invite Dika into his house without telling him first. Vicky dislikes it the most, if there are people he doesn't know very well, come and visit his house. Worried, and did not believe one hundred percent in the person.

Vicky got out of the car, rushed into his mansion. The door was opened by a servant from the inside.

"Where's Sindy?" tanyanya riled.

"Em, Miss Sindy she's in her room, sir." said the maid, who's about twenty years old.

"Who?"

"Say her boyfriend, sir-"

"And you let that man into my house?" he snapped, his eyes flushed in anger.

"Sorry Sir! I did not dare. You see, Miss Sindy said she had asked the same permission, sir.." The waiter looked down very scared.

Vicky breathed roughly into the air, annoyed. His face was flushed. He rushed up to the second floor, where Sindy's room was located. "How dare the boy lie!"

Braaac

Without a second thought, Vicky opened the door of her cousin's room violently.

"SINDY!!!" his jolt was tight, which left the two couples shocked. Moreover, they were doing a hot kiss on the edge of the mattress until the white shoulder of Sindy was exposed clearly.

Although they are still fully dressed, Vicky still does not like it. Moreover, what Sindy did was a shame, leaving the illegitimate man to be her husband in her room. Obviously it was wrong and a foul, making Vicky's emotions run high.

Seriate....
