Possessive Love
Is it too selfish of me?

Aretha breathed back. "Actually ... kkk .. kak .. kak Richard is my ex, Mas!" I closed my eyes.

Repeatedly Aretha sighed, trying to Neutralize her feelings of nervousness, anxiety and fear that instantly blended into one.

David was still speechless, staring in disbelief. He pursed his lips, before finally responding to Aretha. "You kidding?" tanyakanya.

Aretha lowered her head for a moment, then looked up again. "Mas, believe it or not, but that is the truth" Aretha said slowly as she looked at the man before her.

Instantly David made it up the apoplexy. Even if he said nothing. However, it was clear from his expression that he had yet to accept that reality.

David smiled bitterly. "What other joke is this?" the upset.

"Mas, my brother Richard and I were wrong to have hidden this from you, but I beg you to understand it and forgive me, as well as Richard's brother." Aretha pleaded, holding David's hand. However, David forcibly released his hand.

"Mas ...," said Aretha.

David appears to open the dashboard drawer of his car, then takes an object out of the drawer and shows it to Aretha.

"Is that the answer to this book?" david asked, showing him a book written by Richard. The novel that Richard had given to Aretha.

Aretha looked surprised. How could he forget the novel and leave it in David's car? Her thought.

It's totally beyond belief. David knew it first. So why hasn't David ever asked that question?

"Mas, so .. you ...." Aretha's mouth stopped. He still doesn't believe. I don't know what will happen after.

"Yes, I have long been suspicious of you! However, I tried not to justify that suspicion!" david Strictly. "You knew? How jealous am I when I see how she looks at you?" the question is full of emotion.

Aretha just kept silent not responding. However, unwittingly her tears had shed their cheeks.

"Do you know too? How hard am I to pull that off? Every day. In fact, every second I try to assume that what I see is not true." explained David.

"Until that time, I found this book in my car. Richard's handbook that you were hiding from me!" David looked to lift the book in anger. Aretha only responded with sobs.

"And from then on I thought that your meeting with Richard at the cafe was not by chance, but because you made a promise. And, again, I brushed it off. However, it turns out that today I know that all is true and you lied to me, replied me!" peekeking David.

"Yes, Mas, I know it's wrong, but I didn't mean it that way, Mas. Please listen to me first!" Aretha is growing sobbing.

"Lantas, that means you want to play me, right?" David was getting angry. Aretha simply shook her head amidst her sobs, as if she had not heeded David's words.

"You see! In fact, I haven't opened this book, you know because of what?" tanyanya sneered cynically.

Yeah, correct. The book is still neatly wrapped in transparent plastic. It seems David did not read the contents of the book.

"Because I'm afraid of what I've been expecting, it's true!" david's reticent sergeant made Aretha increasingly sobbing.

"Mas .. I'm sorry, I beg you! I know I was wrong, I didn't mean it that way." Again Aretha pleaded while clenching her palms over her chest while still unable to hold back her cries.

"Why did you just say today, huh?" David rounded his eyes. "Why do you have to lie to me repeatedly? If only you had told me from the beginning, maybe ... Argh!!" David groaned in frustration while hitting the steering wheel of the car that suddenly made Aretha jump in fear. David really can't accept that fact. Between a friend and a girl who is so important in her life. Who should he sacrifice?

Seeing David like that, Aretha felt unbearable. But he also cannot do much. There was regret in his mind. If only it would have been as frivolous as that, he probably wouldn't have rushed to tell David. He constantly sobbed, occasionally wiping his own tears.

"How stupid I am, just want to be lied to by my own friends and prospective fiancees," he growled while focusing his eyes forward.

"Mas, not like that, Mas .. I beg you to understand!" Aretha put on a pensive expression.

"And thank you, because today you also told me that what Richard said two days ago, it was all a lie!"

"No, Mas .. Richard and I did not intend to lie or hurt you at all" Aretha said in a raucous voice. He shook his head as if he did not justify David's accusation. He was lying, but that was not the meaning of the silence he did.

"Too excited do I, love a woman who turned out to be the person who has been loved by my own best friend? Too sure I want to have you completely without anyone interfering with our relationship, including Richard? And too naive of me, when I knew it, I kept quiet and hoped you'd stay?" david complained without looking at Aretha.

"Mas ... hiks .. hiks .. I beg you to forgive me, Mas. We can talk about this carefully," Aretha explained. He tried to grab David's hand. However, David brushed it off as if he was unwilling.

"Trust me, Brother Richard is just a part of my past. I swear by anything, I completely forgot about it, Mom. I beg you to believe that! I love you, Mas .. and I hope we can continue with our engagement plans" explains Aretha.

David blushes his lips cynically. "Hhh, what nonsense!" resounding.

"Mas ...," said Aretha. However, David ignored. The man immediately turned the car back on, then turned the car back to the previous road.

The car drove through the streets that were already a little quieter than passing vehicles. David drove the car at high speed as if dominated by high emotions. There was nothing more he said to Aretha, not a word. In fact, he did not comment on Aretha's words, when the girl asked him to be careful and slow down the speed of his vehicle.

"Mas ... Please, stop this! We could be fucked, Mas!" For the umpteenth time Aretha reminded with fear and worry that seemed to have churned in her chest. But again, David did not bother him.
