Destiny Love

Back 2

Alina falls down from behind the wall where she eavesdropped on the conversation between Raka, Adam and Anisa.

Alina has been there. Hearing every word for word Anisa's confession.

With great difficulty Alina restrained herself from making a sound, even though it was not strong enough to hold back all the feelings that came when she heard the actual reality.

Very strong Alina grasped her own hand and pressed her chest so firmly. Alternately shut his mouth and wipe away the tears that flooded.

--

With the weight of Raka stepped her feet leaving Anisa's apartment unit.

As if he had no more spirit, Raka walked over while looking down.

His two eyes then caught the figure of a woman he knew was crying at the end of the hall.

Alina's? It's Alina! Gosh... lest Alina hear everything?

"Aline?"

Alina was not even aware of Raka's presence before her.

"elina... Hey !!!" Raka knelt down slightly shaking Alina's body.

"Why are you like this, Alina? And what are you doing here?"

"Why mas? Why..." Isaac Alina.

"To..why what?"

Alina could not say anymore.

God, I would love to express all this pain. But even saying a single word, this mouth felt so heavy. The pain is so painful.

"Let's stand up first, Alina."

Raka helped Alina to stand up.

"We go home first, Lin. We're talking at home."

"Yes !!!" Nabila ran over to Alina when she saw Alina getting out of the car.

Alina did not even respond when Nabila was near her.

"Aunty why, Uncle?"

"Aunty has to rest first, baby. Nabila don't bother aunty just yet."

Nabila also said Raka. He steps away and lets Raka lead Alina into the room.

"You rest first, calm yourself first. I'm out for a minute, grab some tea for you."

"Yes..."

Finally Alina made a sound.

Raka turned around and approached the bed where Alina was lying.

"I've heard all of it." Her tears came back.

"Alina, i..."

"Enough mas. Don't talk anymore. This time please let me do the talking."

Raka was silent, following Alina's request to shut up and hear her talk.

"None of the older brothers in the world wants to see his younger brother sad, let alone until his life is ruined. Ever since I understood the meaning of life, I've always tried to make Anisa happy and proud to have a sister like me. I always try to give up, whatever it is, as long as he smiles.

Until both of our parents went for her long, I became her one-on-one protector to Anisa, my little sister who is now an adult but in my eyes is still a little girl.

And when I was the only one she could hope for, I destroyed her life slowly but surely. I snatched away the man she loved so much, the man she had always been proud of in front of me and our two parents. I tortured her by blatantly showing affection with her heart in front of her eyes. Until he had to force his heart to bury his feelings so deep. I don't know how it all happened between you and Anisa. I don't want to blame anyone because I can't. It's not you who's wrong, nor is Anisa wrong. I don't even understand the situation, ma'am."

"Iina..."

"I'm not done yet."

"At least listen to me first, Lin."

"What else are you explaining, mom? Doesn't it mean nothing? All of this is revealed now. The truth and the reality we both know. So what else? And as you told Anisa..."

"Came on..."

"Connect me, mas!"
