I got Diana married after she turned eighteen. But he said it was too soon. He stubbornly branded himself a substitute, but to me he was the only one I wanted. Then he lightly said that his brother still existed he would not be here. Damn, even if he's right, but I'm upset. It is true that I want Diani, a cheerful girl with a smile as warm as the sun. The prettiest girl with beautiful dresses always attached to her body, the beautiful Dianiku, whose life was snatched away because of the stupidity of her parents. They even match Diani with another man, a man who looks pious and good, even though the man is a man who does not deserve my beautiful girl.
I let it go, but I kept watching. Unfortunately, no matter how tight I watched, there must have been unseen gaps and blind spots. The man ruined Diani and made my girl end her life. Of course I've demanded revenge, making the man die a terrible death. However, I feel less. That's why I destroyed Diani's family to vent my anger.
Following my heart to vent my anger, around midnight I carried out my plan. Who would have thought that I met a girl who looked similar to my girl. Of course the verdict I made without a second thought was to invite the girl to come with me, fortunately she wanted to without being forced.
Pale white skin, eyes that look scared and doubtful, and a very small body also looks fragile. I'll take care of him and I won't let him go even for a second from my sight.
It's only been a few hours and he's already pissed me off. How dare he wonder about Diani, I understand and really understand what she means. However, I was annoyed that everything he said was too precise. For me he is not a substitute, but the only one, it is only because Diani has left. So I think he's right to feel like he's being made a replacement.
"Why is understanding about women so complicated?!" I was half annoyed.
"What am I supposed to do?" I continued with a long breath.
"Maybe you can start by apologizing to the lady, sir!" I was so sorry for this voice, he was like a father, a brother, and a friend to me. The right hand I trust the most, Lerian.
"Sorry?" I thought for a moment. "But I never felt like I was making a mistake" I continued after a few minutes of silence.
Lerian who was standing in front of me gave a small smile. "I apologize is not only done when someone makes a mistake. However, it is also often done to show that we are sorry and appreciate someone, sir!"
"Maybe the lady's feelings will calm down a little if you apologize. And, if you don't want to be tied up yet, you can try to slowly tie up your feelings."
"A forced heart will feel tired, sir. You definitely don't want Miss to turn out like a soulless doll, do you?"
I thought in silence, Lerian's words were very true. All I want is someone I can talk to and brainstorm, not a puppet-like human being. "All right, I'll do it. At least once in a while I have to be humble to achieve what I want!"
...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...
Now I stand quietly in front of Diana's door, not forgetting I brought some sweet snacks in this tray I carry, just think of it as a bribe.
"Darling, it's me" called me in a strange-sounding voice in my own ear. If it wasn't Lerian who told me to speak more subtly, I wouldn't have done it. It's not like my usual self.
The door in front of me finally opened, I could see the girl in front of me pouting though not too obvious. "May I come in, hmm?" I asked, I felt the corner of my lips twitching to refrain from smiling.
"As far as Niel!" he said opening the door to his room wider, it looks like this is allowed, not.
"Thank you, my girl!" I stepped in, I could breathe the same fragrance that rose from Diana in this room. It had only been a few minutes he was inside and he had already spread out the fresh scent that I really liked from this moment on!
"Look at what I brought, taste it a little. You didn't finish your meal and just left" I said, starting a conversation.
"What's wrong, I won't get sick just because I didn't finish my food. I'm used to holding back hunger!" reply quickly.
I widened my eyes to hear this girl in front of me. "What's? Why do you have to endure hunger? There's no food in your house to eat, huh?" I forgot to keep my voice.
I saw Diana throw her gaze in another direction, she dodged to answer apparently. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you. I'm sorry for the present and the last, when we were in the dining room."
"If you don't like that kind of call, I promise I won't call you that again from now on. But at least give me a chance to show that I really didn't ask you to be a substitute at all." obviously what I said was a lie even if it was half-true. I did want him, wanted to tie him up and lock him in the golden cage I made. Only I can see him, only I he has as a backstop in his life. However, I can't say that or she'll be more and more disliked by me.
I saw Diana go silent before she let out a long sigh. "Well, let's start with a friendship, Niel. And forget the wedding plans until I'm sure and can accept you, at least as I wish."
"Let's be friends" I said happily. It wasn't a bad start and I had plenty of time to wait. Delaying does not mean canceling everything. Just shift to a more distant time, or maybe it can be faster later.
"So, what are you planning to do in the future, Di?" calling herself by a small name sounds pretty sweet too apparently.
"Honestly, I don't know. I'm used to living in lockdown and not understanding what to do when I get out. I also don't understand how to talk to people I don't know, Niel."
"So that's why you've always been quiet and just talked a while ago. Are you starting to feel like you know me? So, can we get married sooner?" I threw a joke. Look at my girl's face flushed red because Mali, it doesn't seem like all the roads are covered.
"Just kidding, I promised I wouldn't force it, man!" I don't want to continue flirting with my sweet girl.
I hope that in the future there will always be happiness when I am with my girl, only happiness without any suffering can scratch her day.
