EPISODE 2

I canceled my plan to eat because I saw him just entered this café that makes me lost my appetite. Little did I don’t know that he owner of this café. Just I want to leave that area, something on the ground got my attention. It is a picture of a little chubby boy with an adult man and woman but that man faces missing maybe someone cut it.

“Maybe that arrogant man’s belonging. I should keep this, maybe can be useful in the future”. Why did I feel like I hope can meet with him again? No, all of this just coincidence. Even there will be another meeting soon, but I think he must try his best to avoid me.

Nighttime:

My clock showed it already past 10 o’clock but I still cannot sleep. I’m having a stomachache maybe I skipped my lunch today. Damn! All of this because of that arrogant man, next time I will beat him. I don’t know but there something that disturbs my mind. That guy personality opposite with my Alex, my fiancé. Alex knew how to comfort me, always support me, and will do everything to protect his beloved ones.

Somehow, I remember his words,

"You should leave me. I don't love you anymore. I’m tired of you. Let's broke our engagement. Goodbye", said Alex with a heartless face.

At that time I felt I hate him because I thought he doesn’t love me anymore and having an affair with other women. Few days before our argument, I saw him at the shopping mall with a woman, they bought too many things. I felt I can hear my heart shattered to pieces. The reason why I came to that shopping mall because when I asked him to go out, he said he already at the shopping mall that we usually went to. So I planned to go there to give surprise him, buying some clothes because his birthday around the corner. But later, I only discovered he cheated on me and even yelled at me to defending that woman. After that, we chose to meet and talked about our future, I want his explanation. We grew up together and I knew him. He was so loyal if he already falls in love with someone. I noticed for the past few weeks, he avoided me as best as he can. He rarely answered my call and there one time, I can hear a woman voice similar to the one at the shopping mall. What is she doing there? When I came to his family house, they also noticed his changes and he asked if they okay or not if I don’t become their daughter-in-law. I still chose to believe him until the end, I felt him being more secretive.

That rainy night explained the best of my feelings at that time. After he said those painful words, he asked me to hand over our engagement, he wanted to deposed its. I refused and tried to console him, at least for the sake of our long-time friendship. I still want to befriend with him back to the past but seem like he already made his mind.

I did not give up and try to run from him. He grabbed my hand, push me and forceful took out my ring. Together with his ring, he threw both to the sea. I only can cry and watch his back as he left me. He didn’t turn his back and I sat soulless on the ground with my sprained ankle, let my body wet with rain. Slowly I walked towards my car and going home. In the middle of driving, I felt my world just spinning and couldn’t focus. The next two days, I woke up and found out myself at the hospital. I only remembered there too many people surrounded me before I fainted. Only after an explanation from my family and doctor, I knew that night I was involved in an accident, luckily not that serious but still my left hand broken and got some bruises. Alex didn’t visit me during this time even though already informed. I spent the rest of the week at the hospital. I went back to my family house caused I felt empty. I felt something bad already happen. That night after dinner, our family sat down and watched television together.

“Breaking news: Police found a man corpse and suspected it is a murderer.”.

My tears flow down as soon as I saw that news picture’, it Alex. My mother hugged me immediately. I can’t believe all of this. Police must be mistaken. I took my car key but my family going together with me to the police station. The DNA test showed it Alex and the cause of his death because of a few stabs at his heart and head. There no trace of the killer or witness, all CCTV records also deleted.
