Teresa continue to speak as Frieze already zones out. "Life is too short to keep holding on to the wrongs. He is regretting. He is clinging to you because he has the fear of losing you if at all he goes away from you. You sent him away for some staycation remember? He was reluctant to go and was completely pissed at the hotel. He even ended up arguing with Simon that day when he mentioned about the divorce."
Noticing Frieze not being attentive, she shakes her body "Are you listening to me?"
"Huh? Were you saying something? I am sorry. It's so much to take you know. I can't think straight. I really need to ponder well about a second chance. It is not that easy you know."
"I get it. Take your time. There is no hurry. But, think of him. I know you since you were in school right. I will not misguide you."
"I will think about it. Did I tell you that the apartment is in my name? Idri bought that apartment in my name."
"OMG!" Teresa spoke in excitement.
"I am not sure why he did that."
"You are so boring. You have literally given your heart and soul into the interiors. Obviously he would buy it for you. He is your husband. At least you will save your salary as savings although Idri has enough. But, I know you like being financially independent."
"Too serious a discussion. Can we talk something else please? My head will explode otherwise."
"I have an idea. Let's watch my wedding video? We can pass good time and gossip on the clothes and the amount of food on people's plate."
Frieze squinted her eyes. "We can skip food part."
Teresa burst into laughter and could be heard by Simon and Idri outside. Both men are busy talking about the turnings happening in their lives. They talk like old friends who are hanging out after a long time. Simon looks down at his wine glass and speaks, "How is your relationship with Frieze now? Dare to hurt her, I will kill you."
"She is stubborn and she is not cooperating at all. I have to force some obedience into her in bizarre ways. But the more she resists me, the more I want to go close to her."
"Don't ruin her personal space in the process. You need to leave her alone at times to actually think through the events that are happening in her life."
"I know that but I am too scared to death that she will go away somewhere and I cannot even find her."
"It is good that you don't take her love for granted anymore. You did not suffer or struggle for love and marriage. It's nice to see you finally struggle for true love. Haha.."
"What do you mean? As if you worked hard for so called true love."
"Really? Remember the pain I went through until I was finally able to marry Teresa? I had to literally beg the universe to help me marry her."
"Yeah yeah I remember everything. This is why I am seeking guidance from you to get my love back. She loves me and I know it clearly but heartbroken. If only I could mend her heart and accepts me back." He sadly looks down on the floor pressing his lips out of disappointment.
