BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9 - 09. She Is My Wife
"Miss, can I ask you something?" The voice that Anna so longed for reached her ears. Now, Brian was right beside her.
Anna\'s body stiffened, even more, her heart beating faster than usual. She didn\'t know what to do now, she didn\'t want to see that man again.
Should she run from there as fast as she can?
Or should she ask the man for an explanation of everything she had seen?
"Miss," said the man again patting Anna\'s shoulder.
It seemed the man slightly suspected that the girl sitting was Anna.
Maybe it\'s because of their relationship for so many years, so just a glance can tell each other\'s whereabouts.
Brian called her several times while patting her on the shoulder, Anna still didn\'t budge. To be honest, she missed him, but her heart was already hurting.
Struggling with her thoughts for a long time, Anna then decided to be brave enough to face the man, because sooner or later she would be faced with something like this. If there was another way, Anna just wanted to avoid the man and never see him again in her entire life. Yes, if only she could. But her current position is very unlikely. It was also her fault for not leaving the place a little earlier and choosing to see her lover with another woman.
"I know, you\'re Anna," Brian suddenly spoke again after a few minutes of silence.
Anna was surprised, how could the man arbitrarily recognize her immediately. Whereas she had hidden her face.
"Stop being childish, let\'s talk."
"I still remember the ring on your finger. It was my gift," he added.
Anna gasped, now there was no way for her to escape. The clear tears that she had been holding in obediently flowed down her cheeks.
"Stand up and stop hiding your face, or I\'ll force you," Brian said again.
They were only about one meter apart, Brian was standing while Anna was still sitting with her head bent between her knees.
Suddenly the man\'s cellphone rang, it seemed like someone was calling him, Brian just glanced at his cellphone screen without any intention to answer it.
"Anna, I\'m busy. So, let\'s talk first," he said then moved closer to Anna who seemed to be hugging her knees tighter.
When Brian\'s hand was only a few centimeters from Anna\'s shoulder, a man suddenly appeared and hugged the girl tightly.
Of course, both Anna and Brian were shocked.
"Ouch, sorry to keep you waiting dear."
"You must be cold," the man added again then took off his jacket and covered Anna\'s body.
On the other hand, Anna was stunned, the voice sounded familiar to her ears. Where she had heard of it? She couldn\'t remember.
Brian\'s hand that was almost touching Anna\'s body hung in the air for a few seconds before being pulled away by him.
"Sorry, who are you?" Brian asked the man.
"That should be a question for you, who are you? And what did you do with my wife?" he asked with an eyebrow raised at Brian.
"Tsk, your wife? Don\'t make me laugh. This girl is my lover. The ring on her hand is my gift, you would better go and don\'t disturb us."
"Sorry, sir. Maybe you got the wrong person. She is my wife, regarding the ring, it was a gift I gave her because she finally succeeded in conceiving my child. She is currently pregnant. Maybe it\'s because of her innate cravings, that\'s why she\'s a little weird," the man explained at length.
"Is it true?"
The man nodded reassuringly.
Brian\'s phone rang again.
"Yeah, I\'ll come in," he heard a woman on the other end speak.
"Okay, I\'m sorry,"
"Then we\'ll go first," said that man, and Brian nodded. Assisted by a man who Anna didn\'t recognize, she stood slowly with her jacket still on her head. She fixes it a little so that her face is still covered.
What is happening to her now, Anna doesn\'t know. She obeyed the man whose face she couldn\'t even see. One thing she was grateful for, this time, she managed to avoid the bastard again.
The rain had stopped a few minutes ago, Anna felt her body being led to a car.
"Come in," the man\'s voice came back after opening the car door. Anna knew she was right next to a car.
A faint frown appeared on Anna\'s forehead, wouldn\'t it be very dangerous to enter a foreign man\'s car? Maybe, she should run away now?
Her hand moved to take off the jacket but was stopped by the man\'s voice.
"Do you mean to show yourself to the person? Then open it up. The person is still watching you."
"Oh no, he\'s on the way here," the man added.
Hearing this, without hesitation Anna entered the car and closed it tightly.
There was a ticking sound indicating that the car door was locked.
Anna slowly peeked out from under the jacket, saw the black car windshield, Anna breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took off the jacket that covered her entire head.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Anna gasped again when she sees who the man had helped her earlier.
He was the man this morning. The owner of the house where he stayed overnight in East Jakarta. The cause of all her misfortune today. Why is that man here?
And right now, the man was looking at her from head to toe with one eyebrow raised.
"You are so beautiful with the clothes," he said then started the car and drove out of the parking lot.. A smile that was visible on his lips made Anna sink into the car seat even more.
