Chapter 81 - The Savior 1
Chapter 81 - The Savior 1
The facial cleanser liquid that Linda was holding immediately fell to her thigh when she heard Anne's words. She really didn't expect that Anne would say that. Because all this time, Anne had never said anything about her love life, so Linda was shocked when she heard Anne said that she had a gaping wound in her heart that hadn't been closed.
"What do you mean by that, Anne?" Linda asked in surprise.
Anne, who realized that she had been out of touch, immediately stopped the car, which shocked Linda.
"Anne!!!! Are you trying to kill me?!!" Linda screamed in a rising voice when Anne hit the brakes suddenly.
"Sorry, Linda, I didn't mean to shock you. I'm sorry, Linda," said Anne stammered, her face looked so guilty.
"It's okay,? Anne, I'm not angry. Yes, we better step aside first, it's very dangerous to stop like this in the middle of the road," said Linda, trying to calm Anne who looked panicked.
Without speaking, Anne then followed the instructions given by Linda. She then took her car to the side of the road after several people behind her had honked loudly because she suddenly stopped in the middle of the road.
After stopping at the curb, Linda got out of the car, then went to a minimarket not far from where Anne had stopped her car. Soon Linda returned with two bottles of mineral water in her hands.
"Drink up, you'll feel better," Linda said quietly as she handed Anne a bottle of cold mineral water.
"Thank you, Linda," said Anne shortly.
"Sigh, have a drink," Linda replied.
Without speaking, Anne then opened the bottle that Linda had just given her. She drank the cold water in the bottle in large quantities as if she had just been running. Seeing what Anne was doing made Linda even more suspicious of her friend. She was sure that Anne had a big secret.
"I was betrayed by someone I helped Linda, she stabbed me in the back. She was having an affair with my partner at that time, they even openly showed their affair before my eyes," said Anne quietly, starting to speak.
"Whatttt? How can there be humans so evil like that in this world, Anne?!!" Linda shrieked in disbelief.
"There are. The proof is that they are already married today. And live happily together over the betrayal they both have committed," said Anne, trying to smile.
"Bastard, bastard, shameless, their useless humans!!! Lucky you were shown by God the true nature of your partner, Anne. Better you know his behavior from the start than you know when you have a more serious relationship with him, Anne, it will be much more painful. Luckily, you've separated from that bastard," said Linda emotionally.
"Yes, Linda, I'm lucky," muttered Anne softly.
"If that's how the story goes, you don't need to remember it anymore. You better move on, Anne, and live your new life. I don't think the traitors will think about you. So you better forget about them and consider that you don't know them," said Linda softly, trying to encourage Anne.
Anne nodded her head at Linda's words. Actually, she had been doing so for a long time. She didn't want to remember Leon and Steffi anymore. But still, when she saw the two of them again, she felt the pain again. Even the scene of their affair that night at Leon's house returned to her memory, even though Anne had tried to bury it deep in her memory.
Seeing Anne's silence made Linda dare not open her mouth. She gave Anne time to digest all of what she said.
"Do you still love that man, Anne?" Linda asked suddenly.
"No, Linda, since the first day I knew he was having an affair, my love for him was gone. But ..."
"But what?" Linda asked, cutting back Anne's words.
"Forgetting that first love is very difficult, it's my first time falling in love with a man, Linda. And that man actually betrayed me with my own best friend," said Anne expressionlessly.
"So the man who betrayed you was your first love?!! Don't tell me after you got that betrayal, you've never been in a relationship with another man?" Linda asked in a rising voice.
"Who can be in a relationship when you fail because of the betrayal of the two people you trusted the most, Linda?" said Anne hoarsely.
Hearing Anne's words made Linda pat her forehead hard. She couldn't believe she had a friend like Anne.
"Anne ... Anne, you're beautiful, you're smart. Why do you have to drag on the pain like this for the actions of those two people? You should move on and live your life well. Forget them, I'm sure they're not happy. Because, believe me, taking happiness from others will not last long, the traitors will always be haunted by guilt for taking that happiness from you So, it's better now that you live your life well, Anne. Prove them that you can be happy and better than both of them," said Linda at length. She didn't expect to have a friend as weak as Anne in love, even though she thought that Anne must have had more lovers than her. But, in fact, Anne had only been in a relationship once.
Anne was just silent and didn't respond to anything Linda said. She couldn't say any more. Because her pain was hard to explain, even though she had been trying to forget them all this time. But still just as she was about to open her heart, the image of Leon and Steffi's betrayal returned to his mind.
Because Linda's work time was getting closer, Anne finally drove her car to the restaurant where Linda worked. During the trip to the restaurant, Linda and Anne didn't talk. The two of them were lost in their own thoughts. After driving for nearly twenty minutes, Anne finally arrived at the fancy restaurant where Linda worked. Shortly after Linda got out of the car, Anne immediately took the car to her flower shop. She had to open her flower shop which had operating hours from one in the afternoon to eight in the evening. She didn't want to waste her time.
"Why is it this difficult to get rid of my heartache, God? Why do I have to always remember what ...."
Woot!
Anne slammed on the brakes when in front of her suddenly a car passed by from her left. A big collision almost occurred if Anne didn't hit the brakes quickly. Anne, who wasn't concentrating, seemed very shocked when she found out that a car was passing carelessly like that. She was seen lowering her head on the steering wheel to calm herself.
Thump
Thump
Thump
Anne's car was suddenly banged hard enough from the outside, which again shocked Anne. Anne, who couldn't control herself, seemed silent and was still holding her chest because her heart was beating very fast.
"Get out!" said several men at the same time, asking Anne to get out. Apparently because Anne suddenly stopped, the two cars behind her had a collision.
"Hurry out or we destroy your car, Miss!" added another man trying to provoke.
