Chapter 112 - BETRAYAL OF LOVE
Chapter 112 - BETRAYAL OF LOVE
"Filia, come on, don't cry all the time. I feel even more guilty when I see you like this." Keenan put on a pitiful expression while coaxing the woman who had been tainted.
"How can I stop crying, Keenan, while what we've done is really a big mistake," replied Filia as she lifted her face that was already resting on her knees. However, only for a moment. She again buried her confused-looking face between her legs still bent.
"I know. I was wrong, but I really didn't mean to do that to you." Keenan complained. This time, there was a clear look of regret on his face.
"If you hadn't come here, maybe it wouldn't have turned out like this, Keenan." Filia still hadn't changed position. It seemed that she was devastated by the incident.
Yes, of course. How could she be ordinary, when her precious crown had been snatched away by a man who wasn't even her lover. What if she gets pregnant later? Who will bear this sin, other than herself? Because Keenan will not necessarily be responsible for what happened last night between them.
Didn't Keenan really expect Ellena to come back to him, so how could there be another woman who could easily replace the lover's position in his heart.
"If I could turn back time, maybe I wouldn't have seen Ellena yesterday, so that this incident wouldn't have happened." Keenan whispered as he stared blankly ahead, right at the dressing table a few meters from the bed.
Keenan's statement managed to make Filia turn around while casting a probing gaze. "What exactly happened to you, Keenan? Why were you so drunk last night?"
"I'm disappointed in Ellena, Filia." Keenan started to tell Filia what happened yesterday afternoon.
"No. Ellena can't be like that. I know, she really loves you, Keenan. It's impossible if she doesn't expect your relationship to go back to how it used to be." Filia shook her head slowly as if she couldn't believe what Keenan said. Meanwhile, her sobs continued, although they had begun to weaken.
"I don't know, Filia. I see, Ellena is very different now." Keenan whispered, still staring blankly in the same direction.
"No. Whatever your reasons, we're still wrong, Keenan!" Filia insisted, unable to accept Keenan's explanation as an excuse.
"I know, Filia. That's why I feel so guilty. Not only to you, but to Ellena too. I was stupid, really stupid!" Keenan turned his head and shot a serious look at Filia. Don't stop cursing himself. His eyes filled with tears again, remembering the big mistake he had made to two women at once.
"But ... all this has happened, Filia. So, what can I do?" He asked as if demanding an answer that Filia didn't know what to say.
"Elle is my best friend, Keenan. The best friend I ever had. I was really mean to her, for betraying our friendship!" Filia spoke emphatically with her hands slapping her chest quite strongly, as an expression of her self-pity.
"I'm sorry, Filia. I promise to solve this problem soon, both with you and Ellena too," hissed Keenan who already didn't know how else to deal with all these problems. However, he is a man who must be able to take responsibility for his actions. No matter how bad it is.
"What if I get pregnant, Keenan?" Filia covered her face with her hands, her sobs getting louder and louder.
Unable to bear to see Filia who was so devastated by her actions, Keenan immediately embraced the woman's body. "I'm sorry, Filia. I promise to be responsible for what happened last night." He said trying to calm Filia who was crying even more.
"But how? I can't possibly take you from my own best friend!" said Filia as she tried to let go of Keenan's embrace in one swoop.
"I know, but there's no other way. Be patient. I'll do my best for us," replied Keenan who was a little taken aback because Filia was trying to rebel.
"But Ellena will definitely be angry and very disappointed in me, Keenan. I don't want to lose a friend as good as Ellena. Why am I so stupid, Keenan. Why?" Filia could no longer contain her emotions. He seemed to be grabbing her hair so tightly, cursing herself endlessly.
"Why am I stupid, stupid stupid!" Filia cursed while hitting her head repeatedly.
Seeing Filia who was increasingly hysterical, of course Keenan couldn't keep quiet. He hugged Filia from behind again, trying to make amends. However, right now there wasn't much he could do, other than to calm the woman in his arms.
"I have to apologize to Ellena, Keenan." Filia whispered amidst her sobs.
"No, Filia. Not now!" Keenan shook his head, trying to prevent Filia from doing something stupid. Apologizing is what they have to do. However, not now. There will be a perfect time for them to do that.
"No! I'll keep in touch with Ellena now. I can't live in peace in my immense guilt, Keenan!" Filia again let go of Keenan's hand that was still holding his body, then immediately grabbed the cellphone on the nightstand.
"Filia, don't be stupid!"
***
Ellena squinted, when suddenly her cell phone rang for attention. I don't know who called her this early in the morning. It's rude to disturb her sleep, which is still very sound.
She had to undo the intention to turn around and reach for the cellphone on the nightstand, when her body felt heavy and it seemed as if someone was holding her. Ah, she just realized that she was sleeping with Lucas.
Ellena instantly widened her eyes as she recalled the hot scene with her husband last night. Pensiveness has become her current activity, she even ignores her cell phone which still hasn't stopped ringing.
'Oh my God, what did I do last night?' Ellena whispered as if regretting what she had done with Lucas.
Regret is not without reason. Yes, the reason is of course because of Keenan. Just yesterday she saw Keenan's jealousy towards Lucas. How Keenan was very angry every time he saw herself togetherness with her husband. However, what has Ellena done now? Isn't that a betrayal of a lover?
How could she be so stupid and so easily give her precious crown to Lucas, the man she would only live with for a while. She didn't expect to betray Keenan to that extent.
So, what should she do now? Hiding all of that from Keenan and acting as usual, as if nothing had ever happened between her and Lucas? No! That is not the right solution, because as tightly as the carcass is hidden, the smell will definitely be smelled too.
'Ah, why am I so stupid!' Ellena cursed in her heart with slightly watery corners of her eyes.
Of course she was very sad about what had happened. In fact, life is too complicated to be taken lightly. Problems that come and go, of course she can't face with just a smile. However, she didn't know what to do, she was confused. Only surrender to God, as a way she can do to lighten the burden.
Ellena woke up when she heard the phone again screaming for attention, having previously been silent due to being ignored.
She looked at Lucas who was still sleeping beside her, then slowly tried to release the hand that was still wrapped around her stomach. However, it's a shame that the action failed when the husband tightened the hug even more.
Ellena snorted with her gaze still focused on her husband's face. 'Ah, even sleeping he's still annoying!' She muttered to herself.
"Don't swear at me like that!"
Lucas' words suddenly made Ellena round in disbelief. Ah, isn't that guy so annoying! How could Lucas' guess be right on target. Has this man also learned to read people's minds? Oh, I don't know.
"Are you awake?" snapped Ellena feeling annoyed. However, Lucas' eyes were still closed, enjoying such a beautiful morning and it would be a shame to miss it.
Ellena didn't care. She kept Lucas' hand off her stomach. However, she failed again when Lucas got closer and landed a brief peck on her lips. Until it made her freeze for a while.
At the same time, Lucas opened his eyes while flashing a smile that always made Ellena melt when saw him. Ah, that smile is too cute for a Lucas which is actually quite annoying.
"Good morning, Honey. Thank you for a very beautiful night." Lucas whispered in a slightly hoarse tone. His face was radiant as if to show that he really was very happy today.
How come? After a long time of waiting, he finally had Ellena completely. He hoped that after last night's incident, Ellena would not leave him and no longer talk about the agreement.
Meanwhile, Ellena's face was red with embarrassment. Lucas shouldn't have to talk about it again in front of her.
"Lucas, let go of your hand. Didn't you hear the phone ringing earlier?" Ellena protested deliberately to change the topic, because she didn't want to respond to her husband's greeting, which was enough to make her heart pound wildly.
"Akh, who the hell is calling you this early in the morning? Just annoying!" Lucas grunted in annoyance. "You didn't even reply to me." He added with a sour expression.
Ellena rolled her eyes, embarrassed. "Good morning, Lucas." She insisted. "Come on, let go of your hand!"
"No! I won't let go until you repay me properly." Lucas refused unconcernedly.
"What do you mean?" Ellena began to be confused about her husband's response.
Instead of giving an answer, Lucas landed a brief peck on Ellena's lips again.
"Now, do it to me."
Lucas' request this time managed to make Ellena perfectly rounded. "What?"
"Choose one, will you do that or stay in my arms?"
Again, Ellena was forced to give in. Even when she still couldn't forgive her own mistakes, Lucas actually led her to make mistakes again. Unlucky!
After thinking for a while, Ellena was forced to kiss Lucas on the lips, causing him to close his eyes for a long time, as if he longed for the soft touch of his wife's lips.
"Aaahh." Lucas breathed long enough and suddenly made Ellena pursed her lips.
"Now let me go!" Ellena firmly managed to thwart her husband's euphoria.
"Okay."
Ellena immediately grabbed the phone after Lucas released his body from the hug.. 'Filia? Why is she calling me so early in the morning like this?' She muttered to herself.
