"Why is your face red, honey? You feverish?" mother asked in panic as soon as I walked out of Daffin's study.
Om Rei who was a doctor immediately asked me to sit down and check on me.
"Lily's fine. Maybe we can ask Mr. Stevano what he's done to Lily" said Rei, just as Daffin joined.
"You suspect me, Doctor Reinhard?" cynical Daffin, he's embracing my shoulder. "I can't hurt the woman I love" Daffin said.
Ahhhh, heart! What should I support him with? My heart felt like it had slumped and almost slipped out of place.
Right now, just to look Daffin in the eye I can't afford. I felt so ashamed of my previous attitude.
A few moments before ...
My tears still flow even though Daffin tries to calm me down. He rained down on the top of my head with thousands of kisses that made me feel so special.
"I love you." said Daffin.
It's been repeatedly said that phrase slid from Daffin's sweet mouth. However, it was a pity that the sentence was too difficult for me to say even though my heart had accepted Daffin completely.
"Generic ...."
"Help ...."
I looked up and saw Daffin's grim face. "Do you regret marrying me?"
"What do you mean?" Daffin's body jerked until he immediately let go of his embrace.
"You know, I'm not a good woman. I'm far from perfect, Daffin. All this time, only Brother Erlan could accept all my shortcomings ..," lirihku while turning my eyes away from Daffin.
My feet stepped away from Daffin who was still glued to my words. As far as my eyes could see, there was not a single portrait of my marriage to Daffin. This situation is very different from the previous Stevano house across from my house. In all corners of the house, even the Daffin reading room has portraits of her and Reena. How slicing!
I felt my wrist being held by Daffin. "There's me right now! I love you with all your flaws and advantages."
I remained unmoved and chose to keep the tears that began to surf free from my eyes.
"I know, this marriage is not your wish. Even if I beg you, I'm sure it won't be that easy for you to forgive me." Daffin pulled my wrist until I fell back in his arms. "But I believe that love can destroy all walls of hate" he said.
"I" Damn, why is my tongue complaining at a time like this.
"Don't say anything! Just listen to me, My Starfish! You've suffered a lot all this time. I just want you to open your heart to me and your parents. No matter you're Lily or Ayasya, the two remain the same. You are! Just you!" Daffin.
Daffin's lip sweeps my lips gently and warmly. Both of Daffin's big hands cupped my cheeks that had done a rejection of Daffin's attack. However, it did not last long because Daffin managed to master this game.
My breath gasped as Daffin let go of his lips. He bent down and pressed his forehead with my forehead, while his hand held my hair.
"I know you're angry for a lot of things, but can you just get rid of them one by one?" daffin asked, his breathing felt warm on my face.
My forehead winches. "How?"
Daffin smiled wryly. "Are you angry now?"
"Yes!" quickly answer.
"Why?" daffin asked, he straightened up again.
My lips move left and right, which is followed by the movement of my eyeballs. "Many things! Because of Kafel and Reena."
I thought Daffin would get angry, but he instead led me to sit on the couch. "Mr Kafel, he's your father. Learn to call him dad! He also suffered enough for what happened. Imagine, he lived all this time with two con men who gnawed at the happiness of his life. And one more thing, he doesn't know if you're alive. His affection for Reena was only because he thought that Reena was his daughter."
For a moment I thought, trying to digest Daffin's words. "But he rejected me when I came to the meeting that day. You saw it too."
"Why indeed? Is Rei not good for my mother?" many confused.
Daffin sighed before replying, "doctor Reinhard is a good man. That's why he didn't try to take Maya away from your father. Instead, she loved your mother in her way. Stay by your mother's side and endure all the pain of seeing your mother with your father. And didn't you make him even more hurt by constantly asking him to be your father?"
Once again, Daffin broke my heart. His arrow shot right at the part that had never been touched. So far, no one has ever advised me in this way. Showing my mistakes in real life in front of me.
"So, I'm a bad woman?" I asked with my lips shaking.
"No! That's not what I mean." Back Daffin grabbed my body and rested my head on his chest. "I just want you to understand that happiness is approaching your life. You just have to open the door and let time answer everything." she explained.
Daffin's right! I just have to accept the fate that is written for me. All this time I've always been looking for the whereabouts of both my biological parents, but why am I rejecting them now? I'm just making things difficult for myself. Maybe that's what Daffin meant.
Unknowingly my finger played on the chest of the daffin field that was filled with fur because my hand mischievously opened the top two buttons of the Daffin shirt. Suddenly I remembered something that made me come back upset and pull one of the hairs on his chest.
Daffin squealed in pain. However, he did nothing to me other than stroking my hair and smelling the top of my head.
"Are you upset with me now? May I know why?" ask Daffin.
"Are you going to marry that female octopus again?" I asked, without looking at Daffin's expression.
Daffin caught my hand busy making a pattern of circles on his chest. "I don't like octopus! I prefer starfish or pufferfish."
"Lied!!!" hardikku, then blow to Daffin's open chest.
"I'm not lying, Mrs Stevano! But why are you acting like this? Are you jealous?" god Daffin, his finger poked at my bulging cheek.
I was upset with Daffin. I turned and looked at him. "Yes! I'm jealous because I love you."
Flashback off ...
"No! But at least you know what happened to Lily" said Rei, throwing a nosy smile at Daffin.
"Should I tell you that you expressed your love for me?" whispered Daffin, making my face redder.
I glanced at Daffin and muttered, "don't embarrass me! Go!"
"All right, I'll go!" Daffin stood up and said goodbye after kissing my forehead. "See you later tonight, Mrs Stevano" he said.
After the shadow of Daffin disappeared, I tried to break the silence and start the conversation.
"Mom, I want to be a five-year-old" I threw, immediately making mother surprised.
"What do you mean, honey? Is this your baby's wish?" mother asked, her hand rubbing my stomach which began to look enlarged.
I'm shaking. "No, Mom! This is your daughter's wish. I want to feel how happy it is to go with my parents to the playground and eat cotton sugar together."
Mom's tears fell on the back of my hand. I didn't know what Mom was thinking, but she hugged me and kissed me on the forehead.
"In that case, I must go." said Mr. Kafeel, he had already turned to leave.
"Don't go! I want to enjoy my lost time with you, Dad."
