Chapter 18. Anna, Come Out
"Devan, what's wrong with her, don't tell me..."
"She only went to the toilet," Devan interrupted immediately.
....
While Anna, the girl continued to walk around, her feelings this time were messed up.
Anna had forgotten about the man for a moment, suddenly his figure reappeared in front of her. And right now he was with that woman. The woman he had witnessed being sex with by Brian, her boyfriend.
Seeing the person she loves is with another woman, whose heart doesn't hurt?
Turning at the end of the corridor, Anna met a cleaning service.
"I am sorry, but may I know where the toilet is?" Anna asked, her eyes already a little teary.
Memories of her sweet time with Brian, and the events of that night, kept playing like a broken record in her head.
Hearing Anna's voice, the woman lifted her head and turned to her.
"Oh, just keep walking, later at the end there turn right well, that's where the toilet is," the woman replied as she gave her a hint.
"Okay, thank you," said Anna. Even the tone of her voice sounded a little heavy and hoarse.
With unsteady steps and mixed feelings, Anna stepped towards the place that the cleaning service was referring to.
Anna walked for a few minutes and finally found the place she was looking for.
Soon the girl entered one of the small rooms there and finally broke out in tears.
A muffled cry escaped the girl's lips, her heart aching. Like being stabbed by a thousand sharp objects, Anna sobbed.
How could that man be there too? Anna had no idea.
Suddenly a voice that seemed to come from several women entered the girl's sense of hearing. And that made Anna shut her mouth tightly, turning on the water so the women wouldn't hear her voice.
"Gosh, I didn't think that Devan would come to this party."
"Seeing him in person turned out to be more handsome than the photos circulating."
"So handsome and so perfect," the conversation of the women did not go unnoticed by Anna.
"A dream man. Which is the woman who doesn't want to have him. Even if I only get a chance to spend one night with him, maybe I'll be one of the luckiest women," said another woman laughing.
"Seems like you're so crazy about him, Len. To want to give up your body just for him."
"Hey of course, who was the woman who could endure the charm of that young man. Besides being rich, handsome, athletic body and... Agnnhhh just talking about him already makes me wet underneath," replied another woman with a little sigh and then laughed.
All of that entered Anna's ears very clearly.
It turned out that the man who helped her and brought her to this party was very popular with women. It's just that what the women said was a bit too much.
Because she felt normal with the man named Devan.
"Eh but it looks like you have to throw your desires away."
"Didn't you see the woman he was with? I noticed that Devan seemed a little possessive of her."
Hearing the discussion, Anna immediately knew that the woman they were referring to was her.
"What's wrong with that woman? She has nothing special. She's short and looks ordinary."
"Maybe she will just have the same fate as the other women in Devan's presence," she added again.
"Hmm, but at least she can feel the warmth of that man's fingers," replied the other then giggled.
"You know that, and still want to be his girlfriend?"
"Of course," the woman replied with absolute certainty.
"It's finished?" asked the woman outside at the same time as the door opened.
"Erm."
"Okay, let's go back. But first, tidy up your appearance," said another woman.
Such was the conversation that entered Anna's ears, although her attention was slightly distracted, it wasn't enough just to make her forget about the jerk.
A few minutes passed, and the women were gone. There was silence again in the toilet. There was no sound other than running water coming from the small room where Anna was.
Knock...knock...knock...
There was a sudden knock on the door. Of course, Anna was surprised.
'Who knocked on the door?'
The knock sounded again, not once but many times. and it was right at the door where she was.
"Sorry, there's someone here," said Anna, raising her voice slightly.
"Anna come out," replied a man outside, and with that voice, Anna's body stiffened. The voice that he so longed for and hated so much sounded from outside. The voice belonged to Brian. Her boyfriend, no, was not a boyfriend anymore because she had broken up with him since that night.
"Anna..."
"I want to talk to you. Come out," Brian said again. The man had stopped knocking on the door, but the tip of his shadow visible on the floor below indicated that the man was still standing right in front of the door.
Anna didn't respond to the man's words and somehow she didn't even dare to get out of there.
Even though in this situation, Anna didn't have any faults, why should she be afraid?
"Anna, come out."
"Don't pretend you're deaf, honey," Brian said again.
"If you don't come out, that means you forced me to open the door," added the man again.
Hearing Brian's words, Anna was confused.
'How about this?'
She didn't want to meet him, but this time seemed an exception. Because there is no other way but to meet him.
After struggling with her thoughts for a long time, Anna finally decided to get up from her seat.
Yes, it seemed like she did have to talk to the man, no matter how hurt she was. Anna had to keep seeing him.
She had to be firm with herself, otherwise. Then for the rest of her life, she would run, hide from the man. And Anna didn't want that to happen.
Take a deep breath then exhale slowly. Anna then straightened the dress she was wearing and tried to be as relaxed as possible.
However, no matter how hard she tried to look normal, her hands were still shaking. Her heart rate is racing, even her blood feels like it's rustling
Slowly grabbed the doorknob. And...
The door opened, and at the same time, the girl's arms were pulled making her tiny body hit the chest of the man there.
It managed to make Anna startled. Suddenly being treated like that made her not know how to react.
Brian hugged her, the man hugged her tiny body tightly. Makes Anna feel a little tight.
