Chapter 11. The branching mind.
Last Updated:
2025-03-19 19:30:52Afgan stood in front of Melinda's door, confused and empty. His eyes stared blankly at the door leaf in front of him.
His heart wavered between the excitement of a romantic dinner with Melinda and confusion about his feelings for Adelia. He wanted to knock on the door, but hesitation haunted him. Inside, Afgan felt uncomfortable with his attitude towards Adelia at home earlier. Even so, Adelia's name kept playing on his mind.
The rose he had brought earlier felt heavy in his hand, a symbol of his own confusion. Why did he feel attached to Adelia, but also felt the need to be present for Melinda?
In his emptiness, Afgan decided to knock on the door. However, before he could do so, the door to the house was already open from the inside. Melinda appeared with a happy smile on her face, her eyes shining at the roses Afgan had brought.
“Afgan,” greeted Melinda with a smile on her face.

Quickly, she stepped out of the room to see what was happening.Her heart almost stopped when she saw the security guards carrying Afgan's body towards the main room. Her eyes widened in shock, and she immediately ran over to them. “What's going on? Why is Afgan like this?” she exclaimed, her voice filled with anxiety and worry.The security officer, a tall man with a serious face, turned to Adelia. “We're sorry, ma'am. Last night, at the elite party, Afgan looked very unstable after drinking alcoholic beverages. He almost fainted and couldn't keep his balance.

She felt her heart rate jump. Her breathing stopped for a moment, startled by this unexpected contact. Her face flushed, and she felt warmth creep from her lips to the rest of her body.Adelia was reminded of the touch from the mysterious man on the fateful night before her wedding day.In the tension-filled silence, they just paused for a moment, their lips still meeting in a light touch.

You guys ... You're husband and wife?” asked Melinda in confusion.Afgan reached for Melinda's hand, but she immediately brushed it away roughly.

The next day, Melinda came home with a sluggish face and a tired body.

The woman quickly made her way to the bathroom.Not long after, Aunt Kusuk came in and Melinda quickly got out of the bathtub wearing only a bathrobe."I'm so tired, put all your energy into giving me a massage!" ordered Melinda as she lay face down on the bed.The therapist, who was giving Melinda a massage, occasionally furrowed her brow as she watched Melinda's body covered in tiny blues and hickeys.After finishing Melinda's massage, the therapist quickly left the room.

Something is wrong, and I feel like I'm losing him. I miss him, Bayu."Bayu looked into Melinda's eyes, trying to read what was really going on. “So, what do you want from me, Melinda?”Melinda was shaken. "I don't know, Bayu. Maybe I'm looking for answers. Maybe I'm looking for support. I feel alienated in my own home."Bayu nodded, feeling sympathetic. They engaged in an open conversation, expressing their respective anxieties. They talked about their overly complicated lives, about the haunting past, and about the sense of loss they felt.Occasi

Melinda shouted, eyes glazed over.Afgan felt stabbed by those words, but he persisted. "I'll be gone for a while, Mel. This is important to me.""And what is important to you, Afgan?

Melinda felt a change in her relationship with Afgan. Although their home was again full of laughter and jokes, there was an ice that had slipped between them. Every day, Melinda felt like she was facing a cold wall that she couldn't break through. The once beautiful landscape became increasingly bleak.Melinda tried to find answers within herself. She brooded in the middle of the night, sitting on her bed with her mind in turmoil. The silence of the house was only interrupted by the wind tapping on the windows. "Why has everything changed?" she muttered to herself."Why is there no love from Afgan at all even though I got rid of that pesky woman?"Melinda always slept alone without Afgan. The cold nights were shared only with her little daughter who often woke up at night to ask for milk.A message arrived on Melinda's cell phone in the middle of the night, as she was giving milk to the little one.[Already asleep?]Melinda simply read the

Today he wasn't working because it was the first day of 2024.All employees were closed and Afgan had no reason to work. The gaze of the man looked pseudo and passionless.Even though the house was quiet with most of the servants on leave, there was still the occasional sound of little Shintya crying.However, the man did not respond to the cries at all.Melinda came out of the house, realizing that their conversation last night still left a wound in Afgan's heart.“I'm sorry, Afgan,” Melinda said regretfully.

The man did not allow the security guard to open the door at all.Hearing the answer from Edward, Afgan's heart was like being struck by lightning and then slashed by several sharp daggers.“Go back to your country. I really hate you for letting Adelia's body go up in flames like that!”Edward switched off the call from the security cell phone. With languid steps, Afgan stepped back into his car.The fact that Adelia was dead made his life feel shattered. With his left hand, he called his father to check the whereabouts of Adelia's grave.The driver drove the car back to the airport.
