Hate You, Love You
Mistakes

It was already night, Gio sat alone while staring at Evan who had fallen asleep in his bed. Gio's mind floated on someone he had always missed, who else if not Amara.

A month has passed since Gio got the news that Amara has been hospitalized for some time. After that Amara was rarely seen again by Gio's men. The woman, who is still his wife, almost never left his apartment.

Gio's mind grew increasingly confused. The worry mixed with the longing that Gio felt for Amara, increasingly sip and torture himself.

And all of that is exacerbated by reports of Gio's men who say that Danis looks friendly with other girls. Even the man sent a picture of Danis holding hands with a girl. Makes Gio think that Amara is sick because Danis treats him badly.

Gio thinks that Danis deliberately hurt Amara to vent her disappointment. And that really made Gio riled up. He did not accept that Amara was treated like that. Amara is innocent, she is a good, honorable woman. Gio feels compelled to protect Amara from Danis' evil deeds.

Nothing is more important than Amara, so Gio decides to go to Boston and save his wife's pride. It doesn't matter if he has to leave a lot of important work.

"That's fine, dear... Papa's going to pick Mama home. We'll get back together" Gio said softly as he rubbed Evan's head gently.

"All your needs have been prepared" said a man who is Gio's assistant. He was given the task of preparing for Gio's departure to Boston.

"Thank you" said Gio briefly. He is currently in his office to fix some problems. Gio wanted to leave with a calm heart.

"Well if so, I resign" said the man again.

Gio nodded his head as a sign of giving permission. After that he stood up while tidying up his suit. Gio was about to leave to clear up his biggest problem here.

"Hey... Are you ready ?" Dea asked who was already standing in the doorway. He came to meet Gio's lunch invitation. His face looked a little wistful, not as excited as usual.

"Yes... Let's go" said Gio as he walked towards Dea.

***

This is where the two are, sitting opposite each other in the corner of a restaurant room. Gio deliberately chose the place so that he could speak freely to Dea.

From then on, Dea showed a sad face. And he doesn't talk much either. Dea was not happy, even though the invitation to lunch from Gio was something he always dreamed of.

"Mr.hh Dea..,"

"I knew... It seems like I know what you want to talk to me about," Dea cut down while forcing her smile. The girl set her breath before she spoke again.

"You want to cancel our engagement plans, right ?" he continued with his teary eyes, even though Dea did not know about Gio's planned departure to Boston.

Gio was silent for a while. He looked straight at Dea. "I love Amara so much that she can't be replaced by anyone" Gio said. He said that what he said was true.

Dea was speechless, all she did was wipe her wet cheek with the back of her hand.

"I don't want to hurt you, Dea. You are a very kind girl... You should be with a guy who loves you and that guy is not me" Gio continued.

"Every time I'm with you, it's just Amara's shadow that I see and it's going to make us both tormented. Excuse me... But I can't continue it"

"But Amara is already with Danis. You can't have it either" cut Dea.

"I'm sorry Dea..,"

"Not to apologize" cut Dea again. It was hard for Dea to swallow her own saliva.

"I understand how you feel. I'm the one who's guilty of forcing myself into your lives, when I know that you actually love each other" Dea continued. "I'm sorry, Gio..."

Gio smiled as he nodded his head. "thank you for your understanding," Gio said in relief.

"But what about your mother ?" ask Dea.

"About my mother, you don't worry. I'll talk to him myself, and I'm sure he'll understand" replied Gio.

"Ah okay if so." Dea smiled at hearing that.

"Is there anything you want to talk to me about again, Gio?"

"Nobody, I've said everything" replied Gio.

"Well, if so, I'm allowed to go home first to the office because I have a lot of work to complete" said Dea.

"Go back to the office ? Now ? But lunch isn't here yet."

"That's okay, because I'm not really hungry either. You can wrap it up later for me," Dea replied. He smiled at Gio. Though in fact the smile was Dea forced to do it.

"alright... I'll ask the waiter to wrap it up."

"OK.thank you, Gio," Dea stood up and grabbed her bag. Before long, he left Gio alone in the restaurant.

Gio let Dea go. Now Gio felt tremendous relief because the burden had reduced by one. He was grateful that Dea had immediately agreed to the annulment of the engagement without much drama.

As for Dea, he walked in haste. Both of her cheeks were wet again because the clear water that would not stop fell from her two eyes.

Unable to stand it anymore, Dea immediately entered the female-only toilet and locked herself in one of her rooms.

"You are the fool, Dea ! You shouldn't put your heart on a man who clearly loves another woman ! And that woman is your own cousin ! You fool, Dea ! What a fool !!!"

Dea cursed herself with tears. Dea realized that what she had been doing all this time was wrong. The heartache he felt was the fruit of the mistake he had made.
