Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 327 - Lisa's Saddest Nostalgia

Not far from where Lisa and Rangga had dinner, a gray BMW car was pulling up behind the row of parked cars. Inside the car, Dani and Oscar were seen watching Lisa and Rangga sitting together.

Before he went after them, Oscar deliberately changed his usual black Alphard with another car so that Lisa wouldn't be suspicious.

He took out binoculars from behind his briefcase and spied on Lisa who was chatting with Rangga. The two childhood friends looked so happy.

Oscar's handsome face looked a little sluggish and pale due to lack of sleep and thinking about what he shouldn't have had to think about deeply. How could he sleep peacefully if his marriage was canceled for reasons that he couldn't easily tell without thinking about the consequences he must accept. 

Throughout the night, the man was always haunted by Lisa's shadow in his dreams. The shadow of a happy family where he spent the rest of his life with Lisa and their son William.

Seeing Lisa alone with Rangga certainly made his heart feel like it was being torn apart. However, he would not make any reckless attempt to confront Rangga tonight. He only wanted to see how the man with black curly hair behaved towards Lisa.

Oscar relaxed his back against the seat as he lowered the binoculars he was holding. Then he crossed his legs while locking his eyes on Lisa from a distance.

His pitiful gaze stared at his future wife whom he failed to marry because of someone else's presence. It had been a long time since the golden haired man had seen Lisa. He felt that the woman was getting more and more beautiful the passing days, with her simple yet elegant working attires.

Suddenly, Rangga was seen taking out a tissue then wiped Lisa's lips, which seemed to be smudged from eating.

The sight made Oscar startled from where he was relaxing, but after he paid close attention, Rangga didn't make any suspicious movements, so he moved back to his seat in a relaxed manner.

"Sir, do we need to follow Miss Lisa? I am afraid that Mr. Rangga will take her from you, Sir," asked Dani in his deep voice.

"No need. Lisa doesn't love Rangga. The two of them are just childhood friends!" Oscar replied firmly without hesitation.

"Are you sure? Mr. Rangga seems to be seeing Miss Lisa a lot since she moved to Bekasi," Dani asked again, looking worried.

"Don't worry, Lisa won't fall in love with Rangga. She has no other man in her heart except me! No other man!"

Oscar said it with a firm and confident voice. Dani was silent and only cleared his throat in response.

Since separating from Lisa, Oscar had difficulty sleeping and procrastinating a lot while working at the office. As a personal assistant, this certainly worried Dani a lot. He was concerned about Oscar's spiritual and physical state. 

Not to mention that Clara also pressured him to marry her immediately. As long as Oscar could dodge Clara's request, there was still hope that he could go back with Lisa.

Recently, Clara's mental state was pretty much unstable. It also worried Oscar since he suspected that Clara was the one who kidnapped his son, William. 

What if William lived with Clara in a place that Oscar didn't know or that she treated him cruelly?

A few moments later, Rangga got up from where he was sitting and then paid for the meals. The man with black curly hair then led Lisa to his car and drove her back to the boarding house.

Seeing that instantly made Oscar's vigilance increased. The man straightened his seat and said, "Dani, please follow them!"

Without saying much, Dani immediately stepped on the gas and drove at a slow pace. Keeping their distance so that their car didn't look like it is following Rangga's car from behind.

About twenty minutes later, Rangga's car pulled over in front of the boarding house where Lisa lived. Oscar's car also pulled up not far from where Lisa's boarding house was. He told Dani to keep their distance so they wouldn't look suspicious.

Meanwhile, Lisa didn't get off right away. The man who escorted her back to the boarding house asked, "Lisa, are you sure you don't want to invite me in and chat for a while?"

"No, my boarding house is for girls only. And it's already late at night, the landlady will come for me if I bring a male friend inside!" Lisa replied, looking a bit annoyed..

Hearing the rejection made Rangga a little disappointed, but he couldn't do anything else. "Okay, I'll see you again sometime! Don't stay up late and go to bed soon."

Lisa nodded, she smiled at Rangga as a reply and said goodbye before the man returned to Jakarta. 

She waved her hand as the car drove away from the boarding house where she lived. When Lisa was about to open the gate, she remembered something. 

Something that happened not so long ago.

THe boarding house was not dim and eerie like her former boarding house in Jakarta, but for some reason, she felt as if someone was following her tonight. 

Lisa remembered, before she reconciled with Oscar at that time, the golden haired man always followed her.

Without realizing it, she looked to the right and left to make sure no one was following her. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. "Ah, I must've been overthinking a lot," she said to herself.

Arriving at the boarding house, Lisa immediately took a glass of water and then took a quick sip. The air that covered the city of Bekasi tonight was so hot that it made her throat dry.

She laid her tired body on her bed, staring at the ceiling while recalling her past when she was still living in a rickety boarding house with moldy walls.

Her new boarding house was fairly clean and bright. But every time she stared at the ceiling, she always saw Oscar's shadow. Lisa used to be lonely and stayed at her old rickety boarding house daydreaming about someone.

And that someone was Oscar.

Her memory began to repeat itself with the shadows of her past. That lanky, golden haired man was sure hard to forget! 

She still couldn't believe that the man preferred Clara over her.

Thinking of that painful past made Lisa's tears start to burst, filling the corners of her eyes.

"You idiot! What are you doing remembering Oscar? He doesn't love you and you can't move on yet? You're crazy!" She exclaimed in a choked voice.

Her heart was very torn. She did not want to waste her tears just to cry over the past which certainly couldn't be returned. But she could not deceive her heart. 

Lisa still loved Oscar no matter how much he had hurt her. She turned around to face the mirror that led to her bed, her reflection stared at her, which began to look pathetic and washed with tears from inside the mirror.

That night, she slept crying her heart out. Coupled with the mellow music from across the room, Lisa could feel her heart was getting torn apart. Her sadness burst even more until her tears broke out instantly.

"Oscar... You are all I want. No matter how much you don't like me .. I'm willing to live beside you until death separates us… But how stupid am I to believe… That I can make it happen..." Lisa said, wiping her tears.

She grabbed a tissue not far from where she laid and dried her wet eyes. While sobbing, she closed her eyes to calm the storm that was dragging her heart into a pitless abyss.

The mellow music grew louder from the next room, like a lullaby for Lisa's sorrowful night.

Hearing that made Lisa even more unable to hold back her tears.. She didn't care anymore, she had to pour out her sadness tonight so that the burden on her heart would be a little lighter.
