Bride Choice

I Love U

The man that Juna called Raka was still staring in disbelief. Scrambled my waist in front of me, then paced indistinctly. Sometimes he sipped without a cigarette. Scratching his head that may not itch.

"Do you want to ask me something? say."

He stopped his steps which made my head even more painful.

"Are you really a thief? it feels impossible. But seeing our family rings in your hands, makes me even more unsure."

"What makes you unsure?"

"First. I'm not sure you're a thief. Second one. I'm also not sure if you're one of my family's future wives. What else to imagine if you were Juna's woman."

"Why?"

"Not suitable. You are too young for him. It's better to be with me."

"Are you brothers? why are you so different?"

"obvious. I'm better looking everywhere. He is just a man who is aging because of work. Grandma is too much!"

"grandmother?"

"Yes! Grandma was too forcing Juna to take care of all our company. Not thinking about the condition and Juna himself. Had it not been for Juna's hard work, we might have been very poor by now."

I can understand why Juna often goes out of town and even out of the country. I ask myself sometimes. Doesn't he feel tired? but that answer I get now.

"Even he often can't sleep because he thinks too much about work. His burden made him a stiff and very serious person. There's only one woman who can make him smile."

"Woman?"

"Yes! juna used to be close to this woman. Name's Karen. I don't know if she's dating or not, but every time Karen's with her, Juna always smiles."

"Where is Karen now?"

"It has been a long time to go to the Netherlands to continue his education. Since then Juna never smiled again."

There is a burning feeling in the chest. Makes me want to close my eyes and hope I never hear anything. Raka, the man who has the scrape of the woman. Onion.

"Why should I tell you all about Juna?"

"What story?"

My eyes opened again and glanced towards the source of the voice.

"What did you tell him? haven't you learned from a mistake yet?"

"No. I just kind of confided in a little. Not much." Raka looks scared.

"Be aware that you dare to do the no."

"No, really, brother. I'm a good boy now."

Juna glared. He came closer as our eyes looked at each other. The fault face on Raka turned into an anxious look.

"Sister, is he really a thief? how could he steal our family ring? does Brother not feel strange? just look at his face. Beautiful isn't?"

"Shut your mouth!"

"Why? I'm just being honest. Sis, what if you forget about the theft, after all the ring has been met and can Brother give to the woman who will be Sister's wife. Let her be for him."

"Do you want me to destroy your ugly chicken shop? go then! let this be my business from now on."

"Why? did Big Brother change his mind after realizing how beautiful this woman is?"

"Raka Aditama!" Juna looked very angry. Raka immediately walked out of the room.

"How dare he praise my woman."

"Don't get mad. It seems like he is so his son. You should understand more."

"What's this about? go and don't come at me?"

Juna looked upset again. Just like when he came and spoke to Raka.

"Must be? we're just close. Without any ties. Then by what right should I come to you?"

"We are not children who should feel like we have each other after a statement of love and acceptance."

"What's wrong? did the kid say anything?"

"No. But at least he knows how to behave to women."

"Have I treated you unworthy?"

"alright. We'll just cut out this speaker. I want to rest. If you want to talk, learn from Raka. At the very least, he was talking that could make me a little amused."

"Do you want to hear me say love?"

"Forget over. Give me some time to rest."

After turning her face and closing her eyes, Juna no longer took out a word from her mouth. I really want to sleep. Aside from my head still throbbing, I also wanted to ease the rumbling feeling inside my chest.

I don't know how long I slept. When I opened my eyes, my head felt a little light. And with a rumble in the chest. I saw that Juna had changed clothes with a more relaxed style.

"What time is it?"

Heard I was awake. Juna immediately saved his phone and approached.

"It's already night. Do you want a drink? do you want to eat something?"

"Yes, I'm thirsty."

He took the water on the table. Help me drink with a straw.

"The doctor came. He said if your condition improves, we can get out of here soon."

"Where?"

"Yes?"

"Where should I go? I don't want to be a burden to them anymore."

"Naya .. if your current condition is due to anger at arga, then–"

"I'm not mad at him. I was angry at myself for not realizing that I was just someone."

"It's not like that, Nay. If I were in Arga's position, maybe I would do the same. He's just defending his son."

"That's why I left. I don't want to be a hindrance to her going to take care of the child and the woman."

"Nay, if I have to choose between you and our son and my brother, then I will choose you and our son. The bond of sodara is bound by blood and cannot be separated. But my responsibility is the same you are much greater."

"Did I mean nothing to her anymore?"

"You're everything to arga. But his son needs Arga more than you. The boy just needs his father, and you .. You just need a replacement for Arga. And I can do that."

We were silent for a while.

"Nay, am I not enough to replace Arga. Give you love and everything."

There is guilt that sneaks into the heart. Obviously my goal is not that. There was no intention to lower Juna's position in my heart.

'Is this what you feel?'

"Maybe I can't standby like Helmi and Arga. But I will try to do what is best for you."

"Why? they do it because they love and love me."

"Mrs ...."

"Maybe I'm just one of your obsessions. Wouldn't you feel great if you got what no one else had before. I, for example, have never been in a relationship before."

"Don't do that. Think positive so that your life becomes easier."

"I'm just talking based on reality, where's the fault?"

"Not all reality can be seen by the eye. Don't judge everything just by sticking to facts that come from taste."

"What more evidence do I have to gather to make sure that I'm not the object of your obsession, Juna."

Without giving any more permission, Juna quickly brought her face closer. Something cold touched my lips. The feeling that almost made my breath stop. I feel electrocuted but this frozen body cannot move. Just a glance yet able to leave a deep trace for me. For the first time.

"I Love U. Nayanika."
