I Love Not Lara

Candor

"Basic shithead! Arya is so insolent!"

"Sister Kevin, can't you shut up?"

"What's quiet, Nick? You should be thinking how we can get out of here!"

"Get out of here, brother? You'd better not dream because just getting a reduced sentence of detention is good enough for us."

"Whatdidyou say? Stupid, so this means you're just gonna give up, huh?"

"What can we do, brother? The evidence they have is too strong, and we don't have much money to pay expensive lawyers to help our case."

"BASIC JERSEKKK!"

Meanwhile, Marshal who had been transferred to the treatment room, seemed to be accompanied by Lara beside him. Lara could only stare at Marshal with a faint look. Deep down, he loved the man deeply, but after learning what had really happened between Marshal and Love, he found out, of course he could not ignore the pain in his heart.

Maybe it was all just an accident, but it still caused injury to Lara. In the room, Lara seemed to be alone. Meanwhile, Arya, this morning is taking care of the assault case at her home by Kevin, who has been arrested by police officers.

Without Lara knowing, behind the slightly open door of the treatment room, Love could only stare at the two while crying. Actually, it's like he went into that treatment room, and saw how Marshal is doing. However, he was quite self-conscious if he would bother the two of them at the moment.

As he was about to step his foot away from the treatment room, a sound came from the direction in the treatment room.

"Why not just enter" said a voice that Love recognized as Lara's. Spontaneous Love turned her body, and saw Lara who was looking at her.

"If you want to go in, just go in and don't stand like that."

Love stared at Lara for a moment, though doubtful she finally entered the treatment room. He then sat down on the sofa, then looked at the Marshal who currently looked so helpless. Yes, the man did have gunshot wounds in some parts of his body. However, one thing that makes Love feel so sick while in the room, namely the hand of Marshal to Lara.

Although Marshal is currently unconscious, but in his subconscious, it is as if the man does not want to lose Lara, and does not want Lara to leave him even for a moment. All of that explains that Marshal really loves Lara.

"What do you want to say?" ask Lara, break the reverie of Love.

"What?"

"Well, wasn't that the Marshal in the operating room, you said you wanted to talk to me?" reply Lara, trying to recall the words of Love while they were sitting in front of the operating room.

Love then got up from the sofa, then approached towards Lara, and knelt in front of her. Seeing Love suddenly kneeling down, Lara was so shocked.

"Hi, what are you doing, love?"

"Ra, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for you. What ever happened between me and the Marshal was just an accident. At that time, Opa gave it a week, and that day was my last day at Opa's house. I'm trying to figure out how to get Marshal and Opa to believe what I said. At that time, Opa was out of town, so I decided to meet the Marshal in his room. I'm so presumptuous, Ra."

Love seemed to wipe away the tears that drenched her face, whereas Lara just looked at him with such a deep gaze.

"Don't be like that, sit next to me!" lara orders Love to wake up, and no longer kneel in front of her.

"But Love..."

"Ra, listen to me... Back then, Marshal asked me for proof, and when I gave him the ID card, he didn't trust me and said it was fake. Then, that night, when I was in his room he was very angry because he thought you were playing with his feelings, you want to do the same thing you did before you split up. I was a fool, I should have realized that the Marshal did it because he thought I was you. And I should have been able to stop all that by refusing what he did. However, at that time I who had fallen in love with Marshal, even returned the touch."

"ENOUGH!" snapped Lara, who was now beginning to sob. It is painful to hear all the confessions of Love.

"Ra, but believe me we haven't gone too far to do that. When Marshal realized there was a slight tear in my core, Marshal immediately stopped what we were doing. Really Ra, we didn't do that too far. You can see how much Marshal loves you, Ra. He sacrificed his life for you, even in front of the operating room when you said you wanted to take it off for me, he chose to give up, didn't he, Ra? He chose to leave this world because his only source of happiness chose to leave him. Ra, Marshal's love is so great for you."

Lara was silent at the words of Love. Yes, he realized that what Love said was true. Marshal's love for her, it's so great. But what about the mistakes that Marshal made? The pain in his heart, he could not erase so easily.

"Bec... Are you still in doubt? Remember Ra, it's not only Marshal who made a mistake, but you've also been Ra. In the past, you've always never cared about the Marshal ban, have you? Until Nick abused you. Then, with all his humility, Marshal will accept you for who you are, because he loves you so much, Ra. Love is sincerity, and love is unconditional."

In the depths of her heart, Lara confirmed the words Love, indeed everything Love says is true, love is sincerity, unconditionally. And Marshal already showed all that, then what about him?

"Then what about you, love? Don't you love Marshal too?"

"What do you think love means without reciprocation? It will only cause pain. Indeed last night, I went to the Marshal's room and dropped my pride by begging for love and putting pressure on him to take responsibility for taking away my chastity. But what did I get? Just a humiliation, because of the love she didn't make for me, but for you."

"Please don't stand up, Love. Please don't act like that."

"Does that mean you've forgiven us?"

Lara smiled wryly. "It hurts a lot, but I have no reason to be so angry with you. I know it's tough and not easy, but as time goes by I can definitely wipe this heartache off. If Marshal can accept me for who I am. Why didn't I? Now stand up."

Love got up and hugged Lara. "Thank you Ra..."

"Yes..."

Love then releases her embrace on Lara. "I'll go first, Ra."

"Where are you going?"

"You need time for both. I'll go first, Ra."

Lara nodded her head, looking at Love who had left the room. He then turned to look at the Marshal who was currently still closing his eyes. He approached her and whispered in her ear.

"I'm sorry, Shal. I love you."

Lara then kisses the Marshal temple. "Ra.." shouts Marshal as Lara is peeping her temple.

Seriate...
