Larry's welcome back celebration is on the horizon for Steve. And he's all set to depart. "Monalisa, are you sure you're alone here? You can come with me if you want!"
Monalisa grins."Steve, I'm fine here."You may leave now, because you may be trapped in traffic on the road." She wasn't used to attending wealthy people's parties. Pleasure is just around the bend for them. And it would be awkward if she went with Steve; she had just sheltered in his home. She also needs to consider what she should do about her friendship with Archie. Because what he did caused her so much pain.
He really wanted to take Monalisa with him so that he could have someone with him and so that he could introduce her to Larry, but she really didn't want to. "Okay, I'm leaving. Rest earlier, okay."
Monalisa nodded to Steve."Enjoy, bye!"
Steve smiled, and he left.
When she was alone she sat quietly on the couch, picking up the phone from the center table. He switches it on. She noticed that all of the text messages and missed calls came from Archie. It only has one message. 'I'm sorry, Monalisa, but please return home.' 'I love you'
She, too, adores Archie. She can now state, however, that her feelings for the man have vanished like a bubble. Because of what she had witnessed. She'll be incredibly stupid if she returns to him. It would have been preferable if she hadn't seen their actions with both eyes. She had to make her own decision. Isn't because of Steve. That he's next to her. She will return home to her parents after she and Archie are separated so that they can be together.
When Monalisa's tears were shed, she was shaken. Suddenly, her phone rang, and Archie was the caller. She was hesitant to answer it. She just let it ring. When it stopped, she sighed, but the cell phone rang again. She knew Archie wouldn’t stop calling her. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and answered it. "Hello!"
"Monalisa, thank you and you answered my call. Where are you now? Please tell me I will pick you up! "
"I'm in good hands, Archie. Don't worry about me. "
"In good hands? Who is he and where does he live? Tell me I'm going to see you right now! " Archie's tone of voice was full of excitement.
Monalisa shook her head as Archie spoke. She exhaled deeply. "Do you think I can still live with you, Archie? Yes, I'm foolish, but I'm not stupid enough to come back to you." She tries not to cry.
"Love, what do you mean?" Archie pretended that he doesn't appear to understand what Monalisa is saying.
"Archie, what I told you is as clear as a waterfall's water." Perhaps it would still pain me if you were with a woman. And perhaps I will accept it. However, it is a man. You know, it's disgusting you know. I want to forget about it, but if I see you, I won't."
Monalisa was determined to lose him, but Archie wouldn't give up hope because he knew she still loved him."I did it solely because you refused. And that night, I despised you. I swear I'll never do it again. "
"Yeah, it really won't happen again, Archie, because I've already made up my mind. Let's set each other free. You're free to do what you want. And so am I. "
"Won't you give me another chance, Love? Think about how long we've been together."
"I've given you a lot of chances, you know that, Archie. I'm tired of us being together."
"Tired? Love. Do you remember you wanted us to get married before? I just don't want to because I want to give you a beautiful and elegant wedding. Now we can get married because I have saved up for it."
Monalisa smiled bitterly. For her now, it's a good thing that he refused to let them get married by a judge."I want to say thank you, because you didn't want to marry me before, Archie. If we were married back then, you have the right to handle me now. I pray that you find a woman you will love sincerely, Archie. And I hope you don't do what you did to me."
"Love, why should I search for someone when I already have you?" Yes, I know I made a mistake. I'm just asking you for a change, please, Love. One more! " When he begs for it and he begins to cry, he knows this is Monalisa's weakness; she doesn't want to see or hear him cry.
Monalisa suddenly felt sorry for Archie. When this happens, he really regrets it and cries. But in her mind and heart, there is no more space, even though they have been together for a long time."Goodbye, Archie. I'm not going home anymore. You'll take care of my things. It's up to you what you do."
After hearing what Monalisa had said, Archie appeared depressed; she was serious about breaking up with him. He will not give up. "Monalisa, where are you going? Are you heading home?"
"Archie, I'm going a long way to make sure we don't see each other again. Thank you for everything we've shared, both good and bad," she remarked as she hung up the phone.
Monalisa felt like she'd been yanked out by a thorn. Her breakup with Archie also pains her. Archie was a decent guy, she knew that. But they were continually squabbling over nothing, and she was fed up with it. She sighed with satisfaction, knowing that she would be able to sleep peacefully now that her mind was at ease.
WHEN Steve arrived at Larry's residence, he was astonished to find no one there. Was it impossible for him to be the first to come, lest he be too early? He checked his watch, which read eight o'clock. And he believes there will be no party because the entire home is quiet.
"Steve, welcome!" Larry meets him with it.
He frowned, with astonishment on his face. "Where's your other guest, Larry?"
"Well, you're my only guest, Steve."
"What? You've got to be kidding! Larry, you mentioned your welcome party."
"I'm sorry, but I'd like to see you, and I miss you, Steve. Are you sure you don't want to see me?" He said Of course he's joking when he says I miss you.
"What you miss me," Steve chuckles."You're insane; you claimed to be married. Larry, we may meet on any day."
Larry laughed as well. "Okay, let's go inside, and meet my wife, Steve."
"Oh, if you're not just newlyweds, I'll leave you right now, Larry."
Larry laughed. "You can't do that, Steve. Because I know you really want to see my wife, don't you?"
"Of course, I am curious who is the lucky woman, Larry."
"Okay then, let's go inside. She's there waiting for us."
As they went inside, Steve didn't know that he was suddenly nervous. Earlier, his heartbeat was not normal.
"Sweetheart, my buddies, it is here," Larry said to the woman sitting in the living room.
The woman stood up with a smile and faced Steve.
"Hello," she said.
Steve stopped walking because he seemed to have seen a ghost. His mind was talking, "What is happening? Why is Monalisa here? He just left her at his house. But he knows she's not Monalisa the way they look. Oh, they look the same, but they look different. The woman who was left in his house was simple. The woman who is in front now is sophisticated and you can see in her aura that she comes from a wealthy clan.
Larry was hugged by a woman who approached them. Larry presented his wife to Steve with. "Sweetheart, meet my friend, Steve."
It extended its hand to Steve, saying."Hello, Steve."
Steve didn't say anything and just stared at her hand. What the hell is going on here, he sensed his wife Lisa in front of him, her voice a familiar one to him. Of course he knows it. He narrowed his eyes and locked them on Larry. "What's going on, Larry? What does that mean!?" he asked, his voice calm but tense.
"What do you mean, Steve?" Larry asked.
"You know what I mean, Larry? What did you do, huh?" He clenched his fist. His anger had already come out. He feels that his wife, Lisa, is his wife now. What a mischief this friend made!
Larry and Sofia saw it.
"Are you angry, Steve?" Sofia asked.
"Dammit," Steve said, dismissing her questions. Steve exclaimed."Tell me the truth, Larry. Or I will kill you!"
"I tell you what?"
"You tell me that she's my wife, Lisa! I am right?" Because of his anger, he punched him.
"Ahhh! Sweetheart!" Sofia shouted and ran to her husband, who had fallen to the floor."Why did you pouch him? Why?" She shouted to Steve. "Sweetheart, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay, sweetheart!" Larry stood up, and Sofia immediately hugged him.
Steve wanted to shout and cry. He looked at the two. "Don't you want to tell me the truth, Larry?"
"Sweetheart, can you go upstairs first? Me and Steve are going to talk!"
Sofia nodded, then looked at Steve. Like she was saying, don't hurt him.
When Sofia was gone, "Let's go outside, Steve." He said, holding Steve's punched face. He went out of the garden.
Larry recounted what happened in America. While he was in the car, it was late at night when there were only a few people on the road. When he saw an accident, And he saw a woman crawling out of the taxi next to him, and before it caught fire, the woman came out. He immediately attended to the bloody woman, just to be surprised because he knew the woman was Lisa. He took her to the hospital. After three days in a coma, she woke up and didn't remember anything. He introduced himself to her as her boyfriend, and they were about to get married. He made up the story of how they met and how many years they had been together. He did everything to make Sofia love him. He gave that name to her.
"Why did you do this, Larry? I hope you call me right away. You made us fools with what you did. You're crazy!"
"Forgive me, Steve. I never let you know, because I like her, and I envy you because you already have everything—a perfect wife. I couldn't think straight at that time, because my mind and heart were screaming for the same thing. This is my chance to be with her, then she doesn't remember anything."
"I need to get going. I can't think straight right now, Larry," Steve said as he wiped his face."But I'll be back." In fact, Larry's admission to him had taken him by surprise. He didn't believe his pal harbored feelings for his wife in secret. He may have done terrible things because of his love for Lisa. He wanted to scream to get rid of his rage.
