"No mom, I was just surprised when Madam said that my son looks like Sean."
"What's wrong with that, son, he was just happy. Maybe he just remembered when Sean was young. And now the couple is getting married so maybe he just missed his son's youth.
"I'm sorry, Ma. My behavior was shameful. I apologized to Mama.
"Leave it alone and I apologize to their husband and wife."
"Thank you ma'am, can I leave Jordan with you first? I'm just going to the bathroom."
"Okay, son," Mama replied, so I hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower. I was a little tense earlier so I kept peeing. I wasn't about to go back inside because my son might look for me, but when I went out the door, I saw Sean who seemed to be waiting for someone outside. I stopped walking. It looked at me like I was a statue again. It came closer when it noticed that I was stunned.
"Can we talk?" he asked.
"Huh? What are we going to talk about?" I asked him.
"I just want to say hello."
Is that all? I'm fine, okay, I'm going back there." I was about to leave to avoid it, but Sean suddenly grabbed me by the arm. He stopped me from leaving immediately.
"Why do you seem to be avoiding me, Aira? And who is that boy with you? Is he your son? he asked me one after another.
I looked into Sean's eyes. It is serious in asking questions as if wanting to know the truth.
"Yes, he is my son. My son with Julius..." I answered him with a heavy heart.
Sean didn't say a word to me. She seemed to be in tears at my answer. Even I couldn't believe that I told him that.
He nodded at my answer. He let go of my hand, which hurt me even more because I felt that he was disappointed by my answer.
"Okay, enjoy the party." After saying this, he turned around and went back to his girlfriend. My knees felt weak so I held on to the wall.
Why am I still hurting? Hasn't my heart been numb for a long time because of what happened to me at the hands of Julius. I shouldn't dwell on the past because I should just be happy for Sean. Because he has found the woman who really deserves to be his wife.
When I felt okay, I went back inside. The couple is already talking ahead. And on that same day, they again announced the upcoming marriage of his only child. My world almost crumbles every time I see everyone so happy for the newlyweds. I should be in the front and I should be next to Sean, just in case I no longer have a role in his life because I'm already married to Julius. I don't deserve Sean.Absent-mindedly, I called the waiter back. It carries different types of wine placed in glasses and placed on a tray. I took one and quickly drank it. I didn't know that the wine I got was hard. It was delicious so I liked the taste. I called the waiter again until my drink was followed and followed again. I was sitting on one side, I could see that Mama was watching over Jordan so I drank more until I forgot about Sean. Maybe if I drink a lot, my heart will be numb and it won't hurt me to see that he is with another woman. I didn't realize that I had drunk too much, I felt like peeing so I got up to go to the bathroom but I suddenly lost my balance. I was dizzy from being so drunk that I fell down, luckily a handsome arm suddenly caught me. I looked at the one who caught me but my vision seemed to blur and all I could see was Sean. It's telling me something but I'm so dizzy I can't understand what it's saying. And because the sounds on the big speaker were also quite loud, it became even more unclear to me what it was saying. I tried to stand up but I couldn't, I fell and spun around. So I just realized myself that the person who caught me picked me up and carried me out of that big ballroom. After a while I felt relief. I felt like I was lying on a very soft cotton like a cloud. But in the cloud I see an angel staring at me. This angel is just so handsome. The nose is pointed, the eyes are wide. The lips are red and the skin on the face is very smooth. I tried to raise my hand and caressed his cheek the handsome face of the angel in my dream. I smiled and said "I missed you." The angel was happy with me and held my hand. He gently lowered me to the side of the bed and caressed my face as well. He answered and said "I missed you too," I was very happy and I cried because I was so happy. He wiped the tears on my cheek and gently brought his face closer to me, kissing my forehead to hopefully comfort me but I only cried more.
"Don't cry, I'm here... I'll watch over you until you fall asleep." After saying that, he came to me again to kiss me again, not on the forehead but on my lips. I closed my eyes and felt the long contact of our lips. But because of the drunkenness, I fell asleep.
The next day I woke up. Next to me is my son who is sleeping soundly next to me. I turned around so much that I fell backwards. Suddenly my head hurt so much that I held my forehead. The door opened and Mama came out.
"You're awake son, does your head hurt?" he asked me.
"Yes, where are we? What happened?"
"We are still at the hotel. This is just one of the guest rooms they rent out for guests. why did you get drunk Fortunately, Jordan didn't cry."
I was embarrassed to go. I remembered that I had been drinking."I'm sorry, Ma. Because I'm not used to drinking anymore and I stopped tasting alcohol for several years. So when I tasted that delicious wine, I drank more.
"You're great son, it's not just wine. The strong wine you drank. Fortunately, Sean helped me bring you here.
I was stunned by what Mama said.
"W-what? Sean brought me here?! I asked in shock.
"Yes, because he saw you very drunk. Fortunately, he approached you so he caught you when you fell from being so drunk. He left his girlfriend there alone."
"He left his girlfriend just to catch me?!" I asked Mama again. It was like there was some joy in the feeling I felt when I found that out. I couldn't hide the smile that suddenly appeared on my lips.
"What are you smiling about? Are you still happy with what happened son? You are already married, so you should take care of yourself. It's a good thing that I trust that boy so I let him carry you and bring you to this room.
I suddenly removed the smile from my lips. I tried to hide the thrill I felt just now.
"Yes, son, call Julius because I didn't say goodbye that we spent the night here. Tell them we'll be home soon because my grandson is still asleep."
I suddenly remembered Julius. That must be anger because I didn't get home. I'm sure I'll be bruised again when I reach for this hand. I was suddenly scared and afraid.
"Mom, does Julius know where we're going?"
Yes. But he didn't come here, so I'm surprised."
Dead. Maybe he already knows that Sean and I went to see Mama. He will surely kill me. Even my son will feel it.
"Mom, you can not go out for now. Let's sleep here first."
"My son, I can't sleep in this place. I'll just go home and rest."
I was suddenly confused by the situation. What should I do? Julius must be very angry now. I try to calm myself but I can't help but worry about what Julius will do to me. Maybe he'll find out that Sean and I met. My chest almost jumped when someone suddenly knocked on the door. My heart fluttered, I felt it was Julius. My body trembled with fear when Mama stood up to open the door. I would have stopped Mama but we can't hide here forever.
The door opened and Julius' dark face was revealed to me. I got up from the bed in a daze.
"Ju-julius!" I just said out of fear.
"I'm sorry, Julius because—" Julius suddenly turned Mama to her side so that she backed away and leaned against the wall.
