Anna entered a cafe and imdiately walked over to the man who had co first to wait for her. Actually, Anna was a little hesitant to pick up the call from the number she had saved, the new number from the man she once loved.
However, in the end, curiosity made Anna pick up the call. She wondered why the man who had broken her heart was contacting her again, and apparently he wanted to see her.
His voice sounded a little desperate and begged to et her at a cafe near her apartnt. It even sounded a little threatening because the man said he would wait for her until she ca.
Anna finally chose to co because it satisfied her curiosity.
"You're here. Would you like to order sothing?"
Anna's forehead wrinkled seeing the attitude of the man who once filled her heart was slightly different from the last ti they t.
"Just tell what you want to say, Michael! I'm a busy woman!" replied Anna coldly then crossed her arms in front of her chest. She purposely didn't take off her sunglasses, indicating that she didn't want to linger here.
Michael fell silent when he heard the cold words from the woman, it reminded him of their first eting.
"I… have rembered everything."
Anna's eyes widened when she heard that, luckily she was still wearing her sunglasses so Michael didn't see how shocked she was.
Michael rembers everything?
"I'm sorry, Anna! I had an accident, had amnesia and my old cellphone was broken, that's why I didn't contact you for a month until you finally ca to see ," Michael continued and held out his hand. His tone was sad.
He could still rember how Anna ca to his company and sounded annoyed at him not contacting her for a month and finally angry because he was cold and didn't recognize her.
That seed to be the thing that broke his relationship with the woman, so Michael wanted to make it clear that he didn't do it on purpose.
Anna still didn't make a sound when she heard that. This was a situation she had not thought of at all. She didn't expect Michael to co see her and apologize like this when his mory had recovered.
"I'm also sorry I told you back then that we should break up, I thought I was still married at the ti, but I can assure you that I'm divorced. I…"
"Michael," Anna interrupted suddenly when she heard Michael start to sound desperate.
"I know that you have amnesia and I can understand that. But… didn't you lie to ? How co you never said that you were married before?" asked Anna in a firm voice.
She had been with Michael for quite so ti, but the man had never told her of his past.
"That…" Michael didn't answer right away, he then took a deep breath and exhaled, before finally opening his voice again. "It was my mom's suggestion that I shouldn't tell anyone that I was divorced beforehand."
"But I'll tell you that later," Michael continued.
"Of course, it must have been Mrs. Collins. I thought she looked good at first, but she seems sly," thought Anna, who was starting to feel dislike for the old woman.
She initially thought the old lady liked her and that it was a good thing to get along with the woman who might beco her mother-in-law later.
However, after breaking up with Michael, the old woman beca too ddleso and kept in touch with her, leading Anna to finally feel that this is not right.
Her parents also liked Michael, but they didn't interfere when they found out that she and the man had broken up, they just said it was a sha and didn't talk about it anymore.
So, Anna didn't have a good impression of the old woman at all anymore.
Michael beca even more nervous when he saw that Anna didn't say anything and kept silent. He knew that he had hurt her many tis even though he didn't do it on purpose, but Michael was really starting to accept her to be a part of his future.
"Anna… can you think of us again? I know I've hurt you, but please, I can't part like this with you. I… love you."
Anna's eyes widened when she heard Michael's words. It was the first ti Michael had said that he loves her.
She had mixed feelings right now. Was this the reason Michael wanted to see her when his mory had recovered? He wanted them to get back together and start dating again?
"Sorry Michael, I can't." Anna swallowed her saliva when she said that. She felt bad about it, but this was what she had to do.
"Ahh…" Michael didn't expect that Anna would reject him at all, he knew that Anna wouldn't imdiately say sothing like: Of course, let's date again. The woman might want to take so ti to think before they go back to how they were.
However, he seems wrong. So Anna's words just now took her completely by surprise.
"I'm really sorry, Anna. I…"
"No, it's not like that, Michael," said Anna who finally let go of her arms in front of her chest and shook her hands.
"I… just can't see the future between us," Anna continued.
"What do you an?" Michael really looked confused. He knew that he and Anna had never talked about marriage before, and now Michael still wanted to date casually.
So hearing her suddenly discuss the future made Michael look a little confused.
Anna didn't answer right away, she took off the glasses she was wearing and put them on her head and looked at Michael. It seed like Michael had to look into her eyes to know that right now she was looking sincere.
"Firstly, I know that you may not be getting married in the near future, but I would like to date with marriage as the goal."
Michael was silent hearing those words, what the woman said was true.
"But…"
"Even if you want to date with marriage as the goal, I still can't marry you. It's not because you've been married before, but I believe that marriage is to unite the two families. I can't stand your mother and I can't make her my mother-in-law," said Anna.
Mrs. Collins had interfered when she and Michael were dating, what if they were married? For her, marriage is a once in a lifeti and she doesn't want her life to have to deal with mother-in-law like Mrs. Collins.
"What?" Michael looked confused. He knew that Anna was close to her mother. Did sothing happen between them?
"Then the second reason… I know that when we were dating, you didn't really love . I can't explain it, it is like a woman's intuition?" said Anna who found it difficult how she could feel that.
"I thought you might still not be able to move on from your previous girlfriend, so that made express my feelings more and think, ahh… I have to make him fall in love with and forget that woman. However, I never thought that the woman in your mind was your ex-wife," Anna continued to explain.
Michael was silent when he heard this. What the woman said was once again true. At first, he was only with Anna because his mother told him to do it.
After a long day at work, it feels good to take so fresh air and go on a date with a woman.
However, being with Anna slowly made him more comfortable. The woman's cheerful nature, acting cute, and smiling at him made Michael slowly fall in love with her.
He hadn't felt that way with a woman in a long ti, he had felt it before, but she had turned cold and wasn't a familiar figure anymore.
"I don't know what happened between the two of you, but I think you still love her, Michael. I saw you looking at her when you two danced together. That gaze… is a gaze from a man who loves his woman, and you've never looked at in that way," said Anna when she saw Michael was silent, as if confirming her words.
"Do we… really don't have another chance?" Michael asked then took Anna's hands that were placed on the table and held them. He looked at her, to see if she was making excuses or if she didn't love him anymore.
Michael knows that what Anna said is true, he also rembers what happened when he had amnesia and his feelings for his ex-wife were love.
He still loves that woman.
However, Michael could not see his future with his ex-wife anymore.
Not only did the woman cheat on him and accuse him of having an affair, now she takes advantage of him who has amnesia and pretends to still be his wife!
That bitch… he can't be together with her anymore.
