DARREN'S HATRED

Brenda's Regret

After being satisfied to give kisses Darren and also whisper words of spirit in Darren's ear. Darren's parents, his six brothers, his five sisters, Darren's seven friends and the family of Darren's seven friends, including Brenda is now sitting on the sofa in Darren's ward. Darren's nursery room is so spacious. So it can accommodate a lot of people.

Erland, Agneta, her eleven sons, Carissa, Evan and her sons Daffa, Tristan and Davian were chatting with Brenda. They were all trying to get closer to the girl who loved them so much.

Both Erland, Agneta, Carissa, Evan and their sons were Davin, Andra, Dzaky, Adnan, Gilang, Darka, Adrian, Mathew, Nathan, Ivan, Melvin, Daffa, etc, Tristan and Davian already know how close Brenda and Darren are. They all knew it from the seven friends of Darren. And coupled with the explanation from Darel and Rehan's father, Dellano and Valeo.

Dellano and Valeo told Erland and the Smith family that they and others had known Brenda from when Darren, their sons and Brenda had been in Junior High School. They also know the Brenda family.

Hearing stories from Dellano and Valeo made Erland again blame him. So much is unknown to him and his family about his son's life as well as the people around his son.

Only he and his family did not know. As for his seven best friends, they all knew what their sons were doing and working on out there. Even his seven friends knew about everything, including his own son.

Erland crying. So did Agneta and her six sons Davin, Andra, Dzaky, Adnan, Gilang and Darka.

Agneta gently caressed Brenda's beautiful face. And seconds later, Agneta gives a kiss of affection on Brenda's forehead.

"Can aunt ask you something?" ask Gentle Agneta.

"What do you want to ask me?" ask Brenda back.

They were all smiling at Brenda's question.

"As Willy had said a few minutes ago that you love Darren aunty's son so much. Is that right, hum?" said and asked Agneta with a sweet smile looking at Brenda who was currently nervous.

Brenda doesn't know what to answer. Honest in his little heart if he really loves Darren since sitting on the bench of Junior High. And that love is still there and still the same today.

They all kept looking at Brenda. They all understood that Brenda was ashamed and also did not know what to say.

"Tell me, honey. If you really love or you don't love Darren. We're not gonna dispute that." Carissa spoke up.

"But we're all happier if you really love Darren" Evan said.

Brenda ventured to look at Agneta and Erland as Darren's parents.

"Yeah. I love Darren very much. My love has grown since I first met and became close to Darren. More precisely since Junior."

Hearing the words from Brenda made them all smile happily, especially Erland, Agneta and the six Darren brothers.

"Did Darren know you loved him?" ask Davin.

Brenda shook her head." Darren doesn't know."

"Don't you tell Darren?" ask Darka.

"No" replied Brenda.

"Why?" ask Andra.

"I... I'm afraid Darren will be angry with me. Our closeness is only a friendship. Not more. And I don't want Darren to hate me and ruin our friendship. So I chose to hide all my feelings all this time. And try to act like a friend in front of Darren."

"Then what happens next?" ask Adnan.

"After graduating from High School. I decided to study in Australia where Australia is Papa's home country. I live in a big house that belongs to Papa's family. Everyone lives there" Brenda said.

"So Papa you're from Australia?" ask Dzaky.

"Yes, Dzaky's brother." Brenda answered Dzaky's words while nodding her head.

"Since I decided to study in Australia. Since then I have not communicated with Darren. We both broke contact. Same with Qenan, Willy, Rehan, Darel, Dylan, Jerry and Axel."

"As long as I was in Australia, I tried to throw all my feelings and love towards Darren. I'll try to keep Darren as my best friend, because I don't want to lose Darren. I want Darren to be my best friend forever. So too with the others. But no matter how hard I tried to throw away all my feelings of love for Darren. But still, this feeling always comes up. Even this feeling multiplied many times."

"After the second semester exam. I decided to go back to Germany. And studying in Germany. And plus I miss Mama and my five brothers and sisters who are living in Germany" Brenda said.

"Didn't your Papa come with you back to Germany?" ask Gilang.

Heard a question from Gilang. Brenda's face changed. Erland, Agneta and the rest of the Smith family stared at Brenda in confusion.

"Sister Gilang," call Qenan.

Gilang looked directly at Qenan. So too with the others. Qenan gave the code by shaking his head.

Looking at Qenan who shook his head. And added to that is Qenan's facial expression. In a moment Gilang and the Smith family members immediately understood.

Gilang and his family members stared guiltily at Brenda, especially Gilang.

"Brenda, sorry. I don't know about that." Gilang was truly sorry to have asked Brenda his father's matter.

Brenda smiled looking at Gilang's face. "It's okay, Gilang. Gilang doesn't know. If Gilang's brother finds out. There's no way Gilang's gonna ask me that."

They all smiled when they heard Brenda's words.

When they were all chatting, Brenda's phone suddenly rang.

Brenda who heard her phone ringing instantly picked it up in her jacket pocket.

After her phone was in her hand, Brenda saw the name of her second brother, Rangga on her phone screen. Instantly Brenda widened her eyes.

"Campus. It will soon be a lecture" muttered Brenda.

"Hallo, Ra's brother." Brenda's words were cut off because Rangga had spoken first across the phone.

"Hey, you crazy boy. Where are you, huh?!" yell Rangga.

Brenda immediately moved her phone away from her ear as her hand rubbed her ears.

"Aish! It's always like that every time I call" Brenda said.

"Geez! Don't protest and don't complain. You're just as rich as that brother of lo. Forget how you behave every time you contact your heart. Lo and your sister are not much different..  Both are.." Dylan's words were cut off.

Heard a word from Dylan. Brenda immediately gave her deathly gaze towards Dylan.

Looked at Brenda's eyes. It actually made Dylan look back at Brenda's face. The look in his eyes was no less than the look in Brenda's eyes.

"What do you see me? Your crush is the same as me. Where are these bunnies going to throw them?" ask Dylan.

Hearing his words from Dylan made Brenda grunt.

While Smith family members, Dylan family members and family members of his friends and his six best friends were just head bobbing at the debate between Brenda and Dylan.

When Brenda wants to answer Dylan's words. Dylan cut it off first.

"Tu brother you've already guaranteed waiting for answers from lo. Answer noh!"

Instantly Brenda realizes that her brother Rangga is now calling her. Brenda spoke to her sister again.

"Hallo, Rangga's brother."

"Where areyou? Why not go home too? Are you good at lying now?"

DEG!

Hearing her brother's last words saying that he had lied made Brenda immediately feel a sense of guilt in her heart. Brenda admitted that she had lied to her family and did not tell her family that she had joined a mafia group.

Does your brother know that? That was what Brenda was thinking at the moment.

"I mean Rangga's brother what? I've never lied to you at all, sister, Mama and the others."

"If you never lie. Then why did you tell Mama that you helped your friend in the company. Which company, Brenda? What time is it? Where is there a company that is still open at this time? Everywhere the company is closed at 8 p.m., that's if there are employees who are overtime."

"Now replied my brother. Where are you now?"

"I'm sorry, Rangga's sister."

Heard an apology from his sister. And plus hearing the soft voice of his sister made Rangga can only sigh. This is the weakness of Rangga.

"Okay, I'm sorry. Where are you now?"

"I'm in the hospital. Darren's in the hospital."

Hearing the reply from Brenda made Rangga instantly shocked.

"What happened to Brenda? Why did Darren go to the hospital? How's he doing now?"

"Sister Rangga. Later when I was at home I told him. And I also want to say something to Rangga's sister, Mama and the others."

"alright. Do I need to pick you up?"

"No need to brother. Qenan same Willy promised me. They're gonna take me home."

"Yes, already. Brother wait for you at home. Tell me about Qenan and Willy. Be careful when you bring the car."

"Yes, brother. I'll tell you."

"Yes, already. Brother hang up the phone."

"Yes, brother."

After that, Rangga also turned off his call.

Brenda looked at the faces of the people in Darren's ward one by one.

"Uncle, Aunt, sister. I am going home yes. If I still stay here. All my brothers and sisters will keep calling me. And maybe Darren's rest is disturbed."

They all smiled hearing the words from Brenda.

"Send your Mama's greetings." Agneta spoke by looking at Brenda's pretty face.

"Yes, Auntie."

"Yes, that's it. We're ready to take this kuntilanak home!" exclaim Willy.

"Come, hunt kuntilanak we go home!" exclaiming Qenan stepped his foot towards the exit.

Hearing the cruel words of Willy and Qenan made Brenda swear annoyed.

While their family members just smiled and shook their heads to hear the words of Qenan and Willy.
