Chapter 6: A Secret From The Past (Part 1)

I took a deep breath and tapping my hand on my counter. "I think… we should go back to the previous one. It's also difficult for some people to entering the venue, right? Let's we make it all people can sit together as a people, not divide them based on their religion. Besides, for shortened our budget, we can't hold the reception there."

She hummed. "You right, babe. We're not only have the same religion friends." She clicked the previous button. "My opinion about this place is spacious, but I'm afraid you will get bitten by the mosquito when you say your vow. Also, the lightning was terrible."

Huff… woman. I don't know lightning was important for the wedding. I'm no hypocrite, but it's an open space and all the guests can sit together. We can move to the building for the reception or have the reception outside.

It's a tough decision to make."What if… we visit this venue together and the previous one?" I raised my eyebrow.

She clicked the next button twice. "What do you think about this place? It's in Malang, it's already have everything we're looking for."

I leaned my back while looking at my monitor, rubbed my face. I don't know preparing a marriage is more complicated. Oh, God… this venue is far away from my city. I should prepare for the hotel nearby for the guest. "What do you think!? Do you want to check another venue?"

I rubbed my face roughly. I'm scrolling through the page and read the description. This place is full fill our requirements, and the scenery seems beautiful. "Okay, we take this venue." I write their phone number and address. Honestly, I like the number one venue because it's more spacious.

We can hold the reception there. Why she doesn't the light there!? It seems dull, old, and empty. I should keep the number one myself in case this venue is full booked. Since like that place is popular. "It seems like you don't like this venue."

I put on my pen, then looked at her. "I… like it, but we need spare if the place is full booked. Besides, it will save our time." She hummed.

I sighed because she doesn't have to guilt about it. Oh, God. This is the actual relationship? Lot of disagreement, tolerance, and patience? My last relationship was full of egoism, red flags, and almost most of the times, we went to her will. If she wants me to changed the clothes, I should have changed my clothes, or she will cancel the date.

"What's inside your head right now?" She leaned her head on my shoulder. "Did I…"

"No, I just…"

My phone was ringing. Glad I saved by the phone call. "Who's called?" She looking at my phone. "Hanks!?" she looks at me, furrowed her brow.

Oh, why it's fast? I hope he doesn't hurt him. "Um… I told him to order our dinner." I said.

Rose nodding her head, looking at her phone. Huff… a close call. I opened the door and found him standing with two plastic bags in his hand. "Oh, sorry." He passed me the plastic bag. "He wants to meet you tomorrow." Great.

"Just bring him to… Alpha 1 warehouse. Tomorrow I should visit the dock." Hanks nodding his head, then leave. I took a deep breath, closed the door, and leaned my back against the door. Shit. I'm not expecting anything, but that was the fast one.

"Are you okay? Seems like you… have something to say." She lowering her eyebrow. Come on, pull it together.

I sit on the couch, put the plastic on the coffee table. "My brother wants to see me. Maybe he wants to apologize for what happened two days ago." I shrugged my shoulders. "Who knows." She nodding her head.

"I should go home because… my mom texting me every second." I'm nodding my head.

I picked her dinner, then give it to her. "Let me drive you home. It's already late." Her safety is my priority.

"I just… want to ask you that." I can't have dinner with her. "Can I ask you a question?" I raised my eyebrow. "Last night, Sarah sent me a picture, and I saw a guy wearing a highschool uniform same as you. I don't know who is him, but… both of you seem close. I asked Sarah and Kenzie. They said they don't know him."

I think it's time for her to know the truth about him. "I will bring you to him." She widens her eyes. Oh, shit. I'm start thinking I joined an occult. "He was my senior back in highschool. We…" Now, I'm looking suspicious.

"Your senior? I know is more than that, right?" she raised her eyebrow. Ugh, she's got me. Why did Sarah send that picture!?

"Um… yeah, he closed to me, but…" Someone banging on my door. Dear guest, did you know I'm with my wife here!? Where's your manner!? Whenever I'm with her, someone always came to destroy our moment! I took a deep breath and exhale through my mouth. I hope you it's worth the time.

I opened my door, then Mike pushed the door, causing me to fall. Without a word, he punched me in the face. "I told you, I don't want to see you, motherfucker!" I tried to dodge or block his punches, but to no avail. He has more strength than me. I tried to keep my eyes open.

Hanks pulled his collar. I lay on the floor with face covered with bruise and blood. "Hey. Do you hear me?" I'm looking at her face. Shit. She watched all. I hold my her hand.

"I'm not dead yet." I can hear a glass shattered. Shit. What the fuck he wants!? He really doesn't want to see me. I have good intention. I'm not running from my problem.

Is that wrong if we wanted to get this straight between him!? "Lobak? Can you hear me, dude?" He kicked my leg several times. Fuck you. I sit and looking at him with his husband on his back. This is awkward. I'm looking at Rose, who sitting there looked at him.

"We wanted to stop by before we go back to Netherland." Oh, right. They want to move out. I took a deep breath and looked at Rose, holding her hand.

"He… was my senior and my ex-boyfriend, and we will tell you everything. Everything about us you want to know." Rose dropped her jaw after I said that he was my ex-boyfriend. Besides, he doesn't mind about that.
