Hot Couple: Inara's Love Story

Between Two Men

We didn't talk much this early. I didn't notice what Reza was doing. I just relax with my hammock, also with my phone and earphones.

At lunchtime, we had lunch in the backyard. I think I should tell you about Aris. I don't want to ruin the rest of our vacation just by keeping each other quiet. I want time to always stop when it's just me and him, together in our own little world, away from everything and everyone. Nothing matters except to repair the relationship.

Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and said, "I want to tell you about Aris."

Reza put down her spoon, then looked at me. "Please. I'm listening," he said.

I shut up for a moment, then took a deep breath, again. "Aris is a psychologist and hypnotherapist. KL people, Malaysia. My aunt introduced us, her mother Four R. My aunt was a midwife, and knew her father Aris, an obstetrician. Long story short, Aris and I were friends. He often went to Indonesia. All this time I only considered Aris as a friend. But he likes me."

"Love you," he said.

I'm nodding. "Well, he loves me. Something I didn't want in our relationship. She expressed her feelings for me several times, until I decided to stay away. I even changed contacts. Since I changed my account profile picture the other day, he called me again. I didn't know he was coming here. I'm serious, I don't know at all. I asked him yesterday, he said he knew the address of this villa from Raheel. The point is he came here to congratulate me, he said he was happy for me. And. she wants to see you. He wants me to tell him that you agreed to set a time."

"OKAY. Ask him to come here. Today." today."

As he requested, I've asked Aris to meet us at the villa. When Aris arrived, Reza was talking on the phone when the bell rang. I had to open the door.

"Dar, Aris. Come in," I said. "Please sit down."

"Where's Reza?"

"There, back kat. Jap ye's."

I went to the back, saw Reza and told her that Aris had come and was waiting in the living room. He ends his phone call and goes straight to Aris. While I stumbled into the kitchen, picked up a cold drink from the fridge and poured it into a glass. Anxious feelings encompassed me. I feel uncomfortable being in the same place with two legs that I know they love me.

I brought a drink and a plate of chocolate cake to the living room. At that time Reza and Aris suddenly silent, it was seen what they were talking about I should not hear. "Talking about something serious?" my many.

Reza nodded. "Yeah," he said. "And if you don't mind, please...."

"OKAY. Excuse me. Please continue."

Huh! Instead I would rather not be between the two of them, or it would make me look like a crooked goat without knowing what to say, or what to answer if they asked.

Moments later, I was sitting by the pool with earphones in my ear as Aris approached and deliberately startled me.

"Aris..," I shouted.

"Nara..," she shouted back.

"It's not funny." I groaned with anxiety at him.

He whines. "Technot? Sorry.just kidding" he said. Then he sat on the floor, right next to me and facing me. "So, are you ok?"

"Emm. I'm totally ok," I said with a little lie, though I knew it was free.

He shook his head with a smile that seemed to be hurting me. "I'm not too bad to cheat. You remember I don't understand?"

I'm scratching my head that's not really itchy. I knew the question was just some kind of lure to read my expression. If I can be honest I want to say, yes I am worried because of your arrival. But of course I wouldn't say that.

"You fainted earlier? The kenape? Let's just say a little."

"Citer what anyway? I fainted because. not healthy kot."

"And than...?"

Ah, she knows me too well. "Tu je lah, Aris. I'm serious," I replied -- trying to convince him, even though I knew it was nothing. "Well, Aris. It doesn't suck to ask that question. You ask me like this patient. I don't like you detecting that cam."

"It's not like that, Nara. I ask you as your brother. Like I asked my sister. So, Brother has to tell Brother. Please?"

Suddenly I was flabbergasted. "Seriously? As my brother?" many wonder. "You don't-"

Again an unpleasant feeling crept on me. I feel guilty for the man in front of me. Implied sincerity on his face and smile. But his eyes could not avoid tears. I realized that it was hard for him. Especially after all these years he had expected me, but in the end he had to give up and give up - succumbing to his own ego, and giving up on a destiny that was not on his side.

"So, Brother got to tell you, is it?"

"Emm. but don't tell Reza. Promise?"

"Yes, promise."

I honestly hesitate to be honest. But, yeah, that's it. I choose to be honest."Emm... I fainted because of takot. I remember Reza was angry earlier, then it was like not de p. Because I remember Reza being a psychopath," I said that in a voice as slow as possible so Reza wouldn't listen. At that moment he was standing by the door, watching us from the excitement. "But, I realized I was mistaken. As usual, I..," I couldn't continue my sentence, tears without permission dripped.

"Since when did you keep cam ni?" He wiped my tears with his fingers. He made me worry even more, I was afraid that Reza would misunderstand his attitude towards me. "Well, bye, it doesn't suck to cry. Ok?"

I nodded my head slowly. "Yeah, I'm okay right now. I'm sure."

After hearing my answer, Aris immediately looked pityfully at me. He is still like him, he who faithfully questions my every problem, who faithfully becomes a good listener to me. I don't understand myself, why can't I fall in love with a man as good as him?

But he was too good for a girl like me.

"Nara, Brother sister, don't save the problem yourself. Nara had to share what Nara felt," Aris said it in Indonesian quite eloquently, though it sounded strange in my ears. "You can tell me everything. You can call, message to, whatsapp, messenger can. I am here for you. I love you."

I smile at her hearing her sincerity. "yeah. Thank you Aris. Uh, no, no. I mean thank you brother." I laughed too.

Then he glanced at his watch. "I'm going to come back to KL."

"Meh, I send."

"I'm not bad."

"Don't that...."

"I have something to say to Reza. You stay here. Ok?"

I nodded my head. No choice and no need to insist.

"See you." Aris touched and stroked the top of my head gently.

Don't let Mas Reza get jealous. I have to make sure everything is safe.

I secretly eavesdrop on the wall. I wonder what Aris wants to say. And I'm relieved, even though Aris told Reza that Reza was freaking me out, but Aris didn't explain the details, she didn't say that I thought Reza was a psychopath. Then Aris asks Reza to contact him if anything happens beyond Reza's understanding of me. And yeah, I guess, they speak English. I was worried that they would not understand each other's language.

I was still there when Reza and Aris shook hands as a sign of farewell. And still standing there staring as Aris walked away. Then, I quickly entered the room as Reza closed the door, pretended to go to the toilet and lingered in there. I don't want to be caught eavesdropping on their conversation.

Reza was already standing by the door of the room when I came out of the toilet. I stood there, forcing my brain to think fast - how to avoid any chatter that was related to Aris and things that the two of them might have discussed.

"Mas. My head's a little dizzy. I'm going to sleep" I said. It's the only reason that pops into my brain. At least a reason that could make me avoid Reza for a moment.

But instead of going out and closing the door, Reza stepped foot over me. "Let me accompany you" he said.

Yeah, I don't have a choice. I don't want to be impressed to avoid, because I don't want a little bit of it to intentionally hurt her heart.

"You don't mind, do you, if I'm with you?"

I'm nodding. "certain. But. Please don't discuss anything at this time. I need a break. Please?"

He nodded, walked towards the table, then tuned the slow music and set the speaker volume.

"Lo's? He said he'd sleep? How are you still standing there?"
