Let me Love You, Miss!

Chapters 2. Freedom Maru

Five years of sweet steps after the incident that night. Maru was eventually released from custody. A life slander that he must accept. Even when he came out, Maru still had time to think only of Han. His younger brother Limi had been standing before him waiting for his freedom from morning. Limi is accompanied by Gui, Maru's best friend. Gui's guarding Limi as long as Maru's not around. 

"Sister," Limi opened the word bitterly. 

"Maru, raise your head," Gui begged small. He approached Maru. Whispering, "We're drinking at the bar a little bit after this to get your mind healthy again, how?"

"As far as you go."

Maru without a long time, chose to approach her sister, rubbed her sister's lethargic face, and pulled her hand into a hug. 

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Limi. Me, not a brother that any sister in the world should be proud of."

Hearing that, Limi sobbed indistinctly. He opened Maru's embrace without replying. 

"Sister Han, does big brother really love him? Brother to his side if indeed Brother Han is only a friend."

"Yes, I love him," Maru explained. 

"Sister did love Han as a man to a woman. Is that a mistake?"

"No, not at all. It's just, why not be able to think straight. Brother should even be able to part ways to take me to the hospital. Huh!" Limi patted Maru's shoulder chest with half her energy. 

"You pissed? You can hate your sister. Brother deserves that."

Limi shook her head slowly, her lips were smitten, and she said, "It's okay. At that time, luckily there was Kak Gui who helped me and delivered me to the hospital."

Maru freezes. He didn't want to say anything. Han is still a priority in Maru's mind. Maru actually feels guilty even though she is aware, she is not the culprit. He felt responsible for being late to protect Han. It is too late to prevent a bad future from happening. 

"Here, Maru," Gui handed me a letter.

"I got kicked out of college, huh?"

"really?" Limi surprised. 

"Leave it. Such a holy campus, it cannot be entered by inmates like me."

"Sister, don't talk like that. It's not the brother, is it, who did it?"

"Maru, what exactly did you do that night?" Gui in asked. "You're supposed to defend yourself in front of the police."

"No, Gui. I'm failing. I deserve all this because I didn't save Han. I made his heart and life miserable. Being imprisoned for five years meant nothing compared to Han's inner suffering from losing his mother" Maru suddenly cried.

"Sister?"

"Maru, you're overreacting. When you love someone deeply, it doesn't mean you're dropping yourself!"

"Sister Han ..."

"Han, why him, Limi?" maru's crying suddenly stopped. "Have he become an engineer now? The effort he said had materialized? Ah, I should have. It's been running five years."

"No, that's not what I want to say, brother."

"No, then?"

Limi moved her gaze towards Gui. Gui sensed the meaning of that gaze. Gui also chose to postpone the information Limi wanted, so that he conveyed to Maru.

"I'll get to the car first. I'll just wait there."

"Wait, Gui," Maru stopped Gui and looked at him sharply. "What do you guys want to say? If Link can't say it, say it by you. Tell me, what happened to Han?"

Gui who received Maru's mental innocence in such a form, made her take everything out without a hold.

"Han, he's married. The president's name is Mr. Troy, who's a widower, married Han."

The wind on the moon was neither cold nor hot. Warm can not be a vocabulary that can describe, how devastated the psychology of Maru. What came directly to his ear lobe, became an information that changed his life. Maru felt more guilty. 

"No, it must be my fault. I was wrong for not being able to ascertain his future. He must have hated me and chosen a bad path. He was not able to think clearly and just accept the marriage of the widower's president. I understand Han's mind. He can't be ..."

"How did you know? Then your sister? Does your brother understand my way of thinking?"

"Han, she ... still comes home often?"

"I guess, Brother Han tried to change his perspective on the future, after that incident. I also agree that he is married to Mr. Troy. Seeing the magnitude of his dream and the current condition of his brother, I thank him for his decision."

Maru poked her lips. There was a new cry of a different color. He chose not to take it out. Shame on Limi for leaving him in a critical moment, becoming a new ghost perched on the trunk of his head. 

"We go" said Maru Short.

"That means to the house?"

"Where else is it?"

"Sister doesn't want to see Brother Han first for the better?"

"Better by what? Never mind, don't talk about Han anymore."

Maru recalled the memory sheets while still with Han. Knitting dreams while in their lecture break. In the green park in front of the campus, Han always voiced out loudly, "I want to seize that position! The climax of life is like the Himalayas."

"How did you get to the top of that dream?" Maru who is innocent and secretly loves his best friend, always never aware with every sentence he uttered.

"I think .. need your help, Maru. You don't want to be a good stepping stone?"

"meaning?"

"Please promise to forgive each other in all our struggles. Uh, I'm going in first yeah, Mr. Troy's class is about to start."

Mr. Troy, the figure who now took Maru's dream to live with Han. That innocent mind started to poison. That Maru second wasn't Maru five years ago. 

"Mr Troy."

"Mr Troy?" 

"What's up, Maru? We're not going back to your house?"

"Wait, Gui. I want to ask you for help."

Maru along with the color change of her face, gave the impression of black in Limi and Gui's view. Maru is not the same anymore. 

"I want to .. You investigated the case five years ago. You have material comparable to Mr. Troy, you can definitely get people to investigate."

"Sister, you ..." Limi rippled alone. 

"Maru, it's not that I don't want to. But didn't you give up on your decision?"

"No, this time it's different. I remember the voice."

"A sound? What sound?" 

"Han's voice when asking for help on the phone. Just then, I left Limi and hurriedly caught up with her. Then there was a masked woman with her friend. The voice of the woman was similar to Han. However, when the police arrived, Han also appeared and like nothing bad happened to him. I ..."

"That's a very confusing situation for you."

"Yes, I didn't really understand what was going on. Obviously, it wasn't me who killed Han's mother."

"So, now you're learning to be more assertive with yourself? Do you suspect Mr. Troy with Han's case and decision?"

"No, not Mr. Troy. I need you to focus on Han. He is the center. A person who loves someone so deeply, never mishears the color of his voice."

"Sister Han?"

"What's up, Limi?"

"Did you change your mind?"

"You mean?"

"Son't like a vengeful man."
