Chapter 15 — The Ego Of Humans

While she was waiting at the seat, someone suddenly approached her.
"Hey, how are you?" a voice that she knows, Vin.
"Ouh! Hi…I'm fine, you?" she tries to be friendly.
"I'm feeling great about this lately, I'll hold a wedding," he said.
"Wait?! Wedding?! Congratulations!" she's getting excited.
"Yeah, I'm here to get her some medicine, she's sick," he said.
"Glad to see that you're changed to someone better," she said.
"Yeah, I also want to keep the one that I love by my side" he sighed.
"You're right"
"By the way, why are you here?"
"I'm here for medicine too, I mean, a few days ago it was raining heavily and I'm getting sick because the temperature decreased. You know—"
"Lower temperature makes your body hot, yeah, I know," he giggled.
They talked and when it was Aviana's turn to get her medicine, she said goodbye to him and hoped he'll be happy with his partner.
Right after she got her medicine, Aviana was told by Haven to wait for him in the room until he came and picked her up.
She waited there for hours until it was 5:30 then Haven texts her.
"Aviana, I'm busy with some clients right now, I'll send someone to get you, love you" he texted and Aviana sighed.
"He already know that he was a workaholic yet still want to pick me up" Aviana pack her things up and walk at the lobby, getting into the car that Haven's send.
The weather outside was cloudy like it was about to rain and there's something that's not right, she can feel it.
"Am I overthinking? I feel not easy with something…" she mumbled.
The car reached Aviana's home and she rested before thinking about how to tell Haven about her pregnancy.
"I'm getting excited but I don't want to ruin it!" she said and a message popped up.
"Aviana, about the cocktail party this Friday night, I'll send you the dress and anything that is necessary. You also don't need to go work, just dress up for me" he said.
"Okay! I'm getting nervous because of the party…" she replied and there's only seen from Haven.
"He's maybe too busy? If I just forced him to not accompany me last night" she said and layed down.
Aviana started to look for a baby's stuff that looks cute and adorable.
"It's so small!!! I can't wait to go shopping and buy it!!" she jumped and looked outside of the window.
A happy family of her and Haven with their little ones was already in her mind until there's one anonymous message.
Aviana opens the chat and there's one picture that was sent privately with an open button at it. The sender also left a message.
"You're gonna pay for everything that your parents have done, I'm gonna take everything and everyone from your life, Aviana Toddler…" it said.
"What the…who's this rude sender, does the sender want to be reported?!" she mad and aggressively opened the picture file.
Her heart stopped for a while after saw the picture in it. It was Haven with Melinda, sleeping together, shirtless and hugging each other.
"You've seen the picture?" another message popped up.
"Hope you'll enjoy the view~ your future husband is getting back with his ex-fiancee and you'll lose him…forever…" it said.
"Who are you?!!! How do I trust those?!! You're a liar?!!!!" her breathing was rushing while seeing that sender typing.
"Call him…" it said.
Aviana anxiously called Haven but there's no answer and she tried to call him many times until it was connected.
"Hello sister-in-law!!" Melinda picked up the call and greeted her well.
Aviana's heart was dropping when she heard Melinda's voice.
She went silent and the overthinking was controlling her fully. Nothing was right in her mind now.
"Hello…Aviana?" she asked and Aviana was back to reality.
"Huh? Ouh I'm sorry, something comes up…can I talk to Haven?" she asked, trying to hold her tears.
"Umm…" Melinda looked at Haven who was still wearing his shirt and he signed to her "no! Said I wasn't here!" he signing with full of energy.
"Umm…he's actually at the meeting room" Melinda gives him a thumbs up but Haven just widens his eyes as it wasn't the answer that he wanted to say.
"Ouh, then, where are you now? I'm thinking if we can have a few talks, I mean, you know Haven more than me, I want to hear more from you" Aviana said.
"Umm, I'm at the meeting— I mean! I'm still working but yeah we can meet! You set up the place and I'll be there!" said Melinda while getting her bag and accidentally hit Haven.
"Ouch!" Haven accidentally whined in pain and Aviana, from the call, heard him clearly.
"Who's that?" she asked.
"Uh…no one! It's Liam! I accidentally hit his head, sorry Liam" she said, covering Haven's mouth.
"Okay, by the way, I'm gonna send you the location," she said.
"Okay!~ I'll leave first!" she said and immediately ended the call.
"The hell you're hitting me?!!" he cursed.
"I'm sorry! I'm rushing! Your wife is already calling, if I come late, she'll suspect something!" she said.
"But at least! Don't be so clumsy!" he hit her head.
"Anyway, let's explain this to Liam first before he comes and hits you or breaks with me, a person that we mess with wasn't ordinary" she said.
"I know, you handle Aviana and I'll find Liam, he'll get this situation in a second" he said and they walked out to the lobby just to see Liam already waiting for them at the lobby.
"Having fun?" he asked in a cold voice.
"Liam! Someone trapped and drugged us with sleeping pills in the room!" she explained but Liam faced Haven and slapped him.
Haven was so speechless until he looked at Liam, stunned and surprised of what his best friend would do, even Melinda tried to explain the misunderstanding.
"I-I'm sorry Haven but that slap wasn't from me for you, it's from your wife" he looked down and pointed at the cafe in front of the hotel main door.
At the other side of the road, 3 of them saw Aviana was sitting there watching them, emotionless and sipping a cup of green tea.
"We're done Haven" Melinda said.

4 of them sit at the same table and only Haven dared to look right into Aviana's calm eyes.
"Did I catch your attention? You look like you lost your breath just now" she said and no one answered.
"Melinda, I thought, I wanted to talk only with you but since we are already here to hear every single truth, let me ask you, how's it felt? Get my husband's body" she asked and everyone was looking at her.
"Aviana, I can explain everything—" suddenly Haven cut Melinda's words.
"I'm not your husband…" he said.
Only Liam and Melinda were shocked with Haven's words while Aviana smirked.
"Of course, you already be a father…surprised, I'm pregnant" she said in calm.
Liam was about to congratulate her when Melinda signed him to stay silent.
"Ouh, who's child?" he said, smirking and the slight smile from Aviana's mouth was fading.
"What do you mean? It's your child" she said.
"Are you sure? Is it your ex-boyfriend's blood? his sperm specifically" he said proudly.
"What the—! It's your child Haven Victor!" she yelled and slammed the table.
"I can't take only your words Aviana, enough with those lies…I saw you and him and even have proof that both of you get into a hotel room" he throws a pendrive to her.
"I'm not going to any hotel room with him!" she insisted on denying.
"This is getting more tense and tension" Liam's heart whispered.
"Said that when you have the proof" he walked away, leaving them behind.
"Aviana, the things that happened between me and Haven just—" Melinda tries to explain and Aviana stands suddenly.
"I— don't want to hear anything about him, not anymore…" she walked away in the opposite direction.
"What a matchmaker in hell" Liam said and sighed heavily.
"You know what? The female was too fragile and the male was too egoist" Melinda said.
"Let's get one by one first about Aviana's pregnancy maybe?" he suggested.
"Or the footage, I mean, Aviana knows very well who's she's doing it with and we need to worry more about the footage in the hotel room" she said.
"You're right…but now, let's wash up first, I'm feeling sticky and dirty" he said.
"You're always dirty, Liam…" she said in double meaning and it makes him smirk.

Aviana closed the door and sat down leaning at it.
Her tears flowed down as her mouth slightly trembled, she couldn't let out any sound with her throat choking and her chest felt crowded.
It's true that crying without sound was the most hurtful thing and she felt it for a second time.
For a long time, he made her smile and she thought it was real but everything looked fake now.
However, what can she do as his child was the one she got now. She can't get rid of it, the baby is just innocent.
"I'm sorry, I can't make your father believe in me and you. He doesn't trust his own blood…" she was sobbing and hugging herself in that dark room.
On the other hand, Haven was messing up the room and let out his anger.
After a few minutes, he got tired and laid down on the floor, looking at the ceiling and chandelier.
"Do you really think that she's cheating and having a child with Vinod?" his good side appeared.
"Or maybe she's making excuses after making a mistake with that bastard Vinod," his bad side appeared.
"You shut up! She's maybe not cheating just like how you did!" his good side started to argue.
"I'm not cheating! It's an incident!" his bad side explained.
"Then what makes you think she's cheating if you didn't see the truth first?" his good side asked and made the bad side stunned.
"Just shut up both of you, I'm tired of what just happened…" Haven said.
"Fine…get tired now and regret later, you didn't listen to the truth but believe in lies? You deserved to be called a jerk" his good side then disappeared along with his bad side.
"I'm not a jerk…" he said.
"But…what if she's telling the truth? What if I'm the one who makes the mistake…?" Haven's heart whispered.
He then remembered all the things she said, was it all a lie? Was all that just a game?
Haven stands up just to feel regret of what he had said but it's not that he wanted to fix all of it, huh! Ego!
