It's Not My fault

BSM Chapter. 26

“Laura, you don't remember me?” Ryan stood up from his chair. Then I walked over to Laura. Who was now well, and looked at him in confusion.

Laura seemed to be remembering where they had met. But sadly, nil. Laura doesn't remember anything. 15 Years is too long. But if asked to recall her memories with Theo, Laura still remembers them vividly.

Ryan was standing right in front of Laura. Looking at Laura's confused face carefully. Even the unpolished face of that thick makeup looks attractive in Ryan's eyes. How could Laura's husband even dote on her like this. The thought that rose in Ryan's head as he looked at Laura.

Either Laura already knew about her husband's affair or not, but in Ryan's eyes Laura was an attractive woman. Laura has her own charm. Different from the glamorous women he had met.

“Someone used to tell me that all children are born out of love. There is no such thing as an illegitimate child in this world. All children are precious to their parents,” said Ryan reminded Laura of a sentence that Laura once said a long time ago, 15 years ago.

15 Years ago, Ryan met Laura under a red light when Ryan was about to cross the street. Laura was peddling cookies to help her sick mother.

Laura who is not shy to sell from the door of the car to the door of the other car that makes Ryan amazed. Even a sweet and small girl remains passionate and struggles in living her life. The girl's life may not be easy, so it requires her to sell cookies. Even though he is still very young. Why can't she be like that girl? That's what Ryan thought.

One day, while Ryan was sitting in the park alone, Laura came and took a seat next to Ryan. Because the only seat left was next to Ryan. Laura took a short break in the park. Large boxes containing cakes were placed under his feet.

Ryan, who was sad at that time because he had just learned the truth about his father and mother. Ryan was bullied at school. Ryan is often said to be an illegitimate child because he was born out of wedlock.

Ryan's mother was the third person in Raul Gonzales' marriage. Knowing that Marisa, Ryan's mother, has a son after 5 years, Raul decides to divorce his first wife and marry Marisa. A year of marriage, they had a beautiful daughter, Paola.

When Ryan turns 15, Raul and Marisa decide to live abroad. And Ryan's meeting in the park with Laura was his last.

But there is one word Laura still firmly stuck in Ryan's memory to this day.

“Why should you be sad? Were you not born into this world out of the love of your father and mother? So, what is an illegitimate child? There is no such thing as an illegitimate child in this world. All children are the same, born out of love. And all children are precious to both parents. No exception you.”

Laura's words at that time greatly comforted her grieving heart. But he did not expect that time would be his last meeting with Laura, because he had to move abroad following his parents.

Before parting ways, in order to cheer up Ryan's grieving heart, Laura gave him some cake. Since that day, Ryan was determined that one day he would return to this city to find Laura. Unfortunately, Ryan never asked his name.

Laura was also shocked. He began to gawk in disbelief as he remembered a boy in a bule paras who met him in the park 15 years ago.

“You?” Laura pointed at Ryan.

Ryan nodded in confirming. “Ya, nice to see you again,” he said as he reached out his right hand to get acquainted.

Laura looked at Ryan's hand. He welcomed her because he felt unworthy. Formerly it was the past. And the present is different, Ryan has been transformed into a beautiful man, classy, and not just anyone. Obviously, Laura felt less acquainted with a man like Ryan.

“Can I get to know you?” ask Ryan.

“Emm ... Ta-but you know where my name is?”

“Name card you gave Edrick.” Still with his hands outstretched, waiting for a welcome.

Laura still thinks. Ryan just wanted to get acquainted, but he was full of consideration. But, seeing that Ryan had not lowered his hand, still waiting for a welcome from him it made him feel bad. It seemed to give the impression that he was an arrogant person.

The sweet curvature that formed that smile was engraved on Ryan's face so that he grasped Laura's fingers.

“Ryan,” Ryan said as he tightened his grip.

Laura felt uncomfortable when her fingers were grasped tightly. He tried to let go of his hand, but was instead reciprocated with a tighter grip by Ryan.

There was a strange feeling running through her nerves when she came into contact with Laura's skin. Ryan could feel that warmth instantly as he clasped Laura's fingers. That feeling wooed her heart, so she didn't want to let Laura go.

“I didn't expect we could meet again after such a long time. Laura, how are you?” ryan asked to connect more casually without any limiting space. I want to get closer to Laura. As a friend maybe. Because Laura's current status doesn't allow for her to be more than close. Being a friend is enough.

“Sa-I'm fine, Sir,” says Laura nervously.

“Ryan's. Call Ryan.”

“Ta-but ..”

“No buts. Friends do not need to be formal. Just relax.”

“Friends?”

“Iya, friend. We're friends now, right?”

Oh gosh. Laura is really uncomfortable. How could this inappropriate self befriend a Ryan. AFECTO Group President Director.

But, wait a minute. Didn't Laura ever hear that name?

“We can be friends for now, Laura. But fate who knows. I'm a man who believes in destiny, Laura. I believe destiny has a reason why we were brought together.” Ryan's inner smile looked at Laura, still clasping Laura's fingers tightly.

“It's been three days, but you haven't got anything?” Samsul nags when Theo comes to give a report.

“What the fuck is this?” Exasperatedly Samsul slammed the report Theo gave. The report did not report the Antonio scandal as he had intended. Samsul is angry that someone who worked with him has often demanded that bad news about Antonio be aired. Samsul had already received half the fee from that person. So instead, he pressed Theo. He wants Theo to work harder.

“Let me time again, Mr. Samsul. I promise I'll get the news you deserve,” pinta Theo.

“Eh, Theo. Don't you think I don't know anything about you. I could have fired you and replaced you with someone else. But I've entrusted this to you. Please finish quickly if you still want to survive in this place. Or if not ..” Samsul smiled obliquely looking at Theo cynically.

“Your wife will know what you're doing behind her,” continued Samsul bluffing.

Theo took a deep breath. Even though he had intended to give up this opportunity, including bonuses and salary increases offered. But, if it was like this, he could do anything else.
