"Then who is Damayanti?" Her question made him freeze for a few seconds.
"Did I ask anything wrong?" She asked him when she realized his reaction.
"How do you know her?" He sounded a bit surprised.
"Aditya, the whole world knows that she follows wherever you go! She has been hunting you for the past 6 years if I am not wrong." That is the exact time frame for our relationship, he thought. He smiled cheekily and immediately stopped it.
"So you have been watching me all this while? And you do know I have not been with any woman for the past 6 years, right? Yet you purposely ignored me?" He pretended to be angry with her. She was quiet and restless when he questioned her in return. Aditya's heartfelt excitement when he found out she had been checking him all these years.
"I am happy that you are concerned and care about me." He lifted up her face and was looking straight into her eyes.
"She was the woman I loved once but she betrayed me." His sound was calm. She didn't ask further. She didn't want to hurt him by asking about his past.
"She was another reason why I left the country and become what I was six years ago."
"Why, what happened?" She really cannot control her mouth.
"We were lovers in high school for 3 years. I was very sincere and I loved her so much, but she had another man behind me." Krisandra was focusing on every word he said.
"It happened when I was 20 and she was 19 years old. I had excellent results in my final exam results and went to her room to give her a surprise treat but..." he paused for a while and Krisandra was speechless. She wanted to stop him but at the same time she wanted to know about his past too. Before she opened her mouth, he continued after a loud sigh.
"I saw her with a man on her bed, naked, enjoying herself with him. I was so angry, hurt, and broken. At the same time, I was not sad either. She only reminded me of my mother. I took a picture of her with that man and went away."
"She called that evening and lied that her mom was not well so she went to visit her. I packed my luggage, booked a ticket, sent her the picture, and flew away. I focused on continuing my studies and finishing my master's in business administration and economics. Once I started my business, women started to enter my life because I can give them what they want." Krisandra could feel his anger.
"Every time I have s*x with them, they remind me of her only. I can't continue the relationship with them and when I offer them money they keep it happily. From that moment, I knew all these women were with me because of money, not love." He placed both his wounded hands on hers. She touched them softly with her slim and beautiful fingers.
"Hummm! I was forced to return here after 10 years when my father had a heart attack. My mother refused to take care of him, his mistress took some money and ran away too. Hahaha! I was so frustrated Krisandra, seeing how these women all behaved and this made me hate women to the core." She was very silent, but she understood him better now. What to do? He met all the wrong women in life and his childhood was not good either.
"Krisandra, after my father died, I took over my father's business and transferred mine all here. My mother wanted 50 % of his assets but I refused to give them and this is the only reason she keeps in touch with me."
"So why is Damayanti still following you wherever you go?" She was more concerned about that woman.
"Hahaha! Are you jealous?" Aditya could sense her jealousy and he was happier.
"I am not and I don't want to be an inference between you two if she is the one you want, after all, she is your first love." Krisandra was feeling a stabbing pain in her heart when she said it. Her voice was low but stern. She doesn't want to reveal her weakness.
"My foot! First love. If she was my first love and I love her, why do I want to marry you?" He asked her in a very loving voice.
"Because I gave birth to your kids?" That was the only reason she could see why he would marry her if it was not the love between them. Krisandra couldn't understand her emotions either, all the anger she had towards him had vanished! Zupp!! The moment she saw him hurt in the hospital her heart was aching. She was controlling all her emotions in front of her kids.
"How can you think it's just because you gave birth to our kids? She does not deserve my love and I will not let anyone be in your place, even if you refuse to accept me and my love. I will love and take care of my kids." His voice was very stern.
"Nobody deserves my love other than you, Krisandra!" Aditya told her firmly.
"You might not feel my love now, but one day I am sure you will understand my love. She was following me, hoping I would accept back in my life which is over my body. I slept with many women but I never even touched her.."
"She is disgusting to me." His eyes were blood in color. His face was red with anger. She could feel his hands getting hotter and hotter.
"Aditya, calm down." He was pouring out all his anger on Damayanti. Krisandra was silently listening to him. Maybe he has to let go of all the emotions that he has stuck with all this while.
"Krisandra, you are the only woman who saved me from her. That night I actually ran away from you," he told her in a very low voice.
"I felt very guilty to see your face, hmmm, actually I was scared too. That was the first time I felt guilty and scared. I was confused and I didn't think of Damayanti anymore after that. Only you were in my mind, your voice. I can always hear them." He was stammering when he said all in one breath.
"See this picture, do you remember?" She nodded and he showed a picture of her from 6 years ago.
"I have it so I can always see you. I take them wherever I go too. I was so worried when you fainted and I carried you to the sick room too. I had a doubt you might be pregnant but I didn't ask JB directly. He told me a few days later that you resigned." He showed all the pictured for the dinner night and office function's as well.
"You are too smart. You left without a single trace."
