She And I

Betrayal Pt. 1: Who Was that Guy

Anna and I just continued to strengthen our relationship. However, there were moments that I never knew that time. I felt so betrayed.

Can angels actually betray you? Not once, but twice. Not one, not two, but three angels betrayed me.

--------------------

Anna and I were closer than ever after that divorce, but there were some facts that I had to face then. First, I was married. Second, we were famous. Lastly, she was going out with someone else while she was with me.

I felt betrayed. She lied to me. I thought she loved me. Was I a rebound? Imagine she was going out with some man while we were together.

Imagine there was this moment in between the events from the previous chapter.

It was a recording session, and I felt so bad what I learned from the newspapers. Oh media! Why do you always annoy me? I was beside her; I mean across each other. I couldn't bear to look at that time.

I mean we knew we had to go undercover, but why hide it from me?

I tried to be as professional as possible, but my feelings were just clouding up my mind. I got out of tune. My mood just consumed me.

They were able to notice me. I was not as normal for them. I mean, I'm serious at work, but that was different.

"Hey Frida, is there something wrong?" Benny came to me. "You've been acting differently."

"I'm fine. Don't worry." I just gave him a fake smile. "Can I go to the washroom?" I just wanted to burst. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Sure, I guess..." Then he gave me a hug in front of her. "Feeling better?"

"Yep." I let go of him. Then I told everyone, "I need to go to the washroom. Sorry." I quickly walked out of the room, then I ran to the washroom.

I opened the door, and quickly entered the cubicle. I broke down. I was just hurt. It was worse than a piercing arrow.

Suddenly, I heard the door opened.

"Frida...you okay?" It was Anna.

I didn't answer her. I just felt so mad at her.

"Frida, don't make me do what you did to me before. Just tell me what's wrong." She insisted.

"YOU!" I shouted.

"What did I do now?" She quickly ran to that same cubicle she used when she was broken-hearted. She knocked on the cubicle door and pleaded to me. "Frida open the door please. Let's talk about this please."

I wiped my tears. I opened the door. She was in front of me, but I just looked at her shoes. "Okay. Let's talk." I said in a low tone. I was trying to relax despite the hurt and anger. "Tell me about what I've read from the paper this morning. Explain everything."

"Frida, he was just a rebound. Please, you have to understand." She lifted my face, but I still looked away from her eyes. "People need to see that I'm moving on from Björn just as he was with me."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked her, after she let go of my face. I was leaning on the wall with my arms crossed. I was still looking away from her.

"I know you won't like the idea."

"Of course I don't like the..."

"Please let me finish." She stopped me. "Do you want the public to know about us? Have you even considered what the boys will think? I bet you're hiding this from your husband."

She made a point. "So everything was just a cover-up?"

"Yes Frida. I mean I went out with that guy, but it was just a short fling. Besides, he's such a self-centered guy who wanted the spotlight for himself." She stepped near to me. She put her hands on my shoulders. "But I never stopped loving you...I was actually thinking of how and when to tell you about this. I never knew that the media would just destroy my plan. I'm sorry, Frida."

I decided to look at her eyes. I felt the sincerity in her. She came closer that we were just an inch apart, "I love you Frida. And I will never stop loving you."

That struck me. I froze. I felt cheated, but the sincerity in her words and her look just erased all those faults. "I... I... I am sorry, Anna. I love you too."

Then she pressed my lips. It was just a magical moment to forget what was written on the headlines. Suddenly, came out from our eyes.

Those were tears of hurt and anger that I wanted to let go. In the end, those were tears of apology. I felt so bad for what I felt.

As for her, she also had a few tears. In the same way, she was crying to apologize. Those were tears of truth and love that she wanted to pour out since we were together.

I let go of the kiss and asked her, "Do you love me?"

"Yes. Do you love me too?" She asked back.

"Of course, I do. Can we not do this cheating thing again? If there are things that ruin relationships, then those would be lies and cheats."

"I cannot promise you yet regarding cheating, since you're still married while I'm still having feelings for him. Maybe we can just be true to each other. I love you, Frida."

"I love you too, Anna." I took her hand. "Let's go back to reality for a while, then you'll be mine."

"And I'll be yours..." She looked at me as she pressed her hand.

"Forever..." I looked at her.

"..and ever." She smiled back.

We cheated on each other, and we clearly acknowledged that. We just had to face some facts.

She was trying to move on while I was trying to keep up with the times.

She cheated. I cheated too.

We were both at fault.

In the end, she and I still loved each other. And we need to be reminded of who we are for each other.

You know, maybe I have to consider the possibility of betrayal coming from my loved ones whether in small or big things.

Things were about to get intense...
