LIEGE

WHO'RE THEY?

Erina was getting ready, waiting for Daffa to pick her up. Last afternoon Haris, Daffa's assistant told him that Daffa would pick him up tonight and take him to dinner. Ever since Daffa was healed, Erina had never met him in person. They only communicate by phone.

Various feelings raged on Erina's chest. Kangen, confused, angry, disappointed, sad. Erina tried to digest the results of her meeting earlier this afternoon.

After that meeting Erina was driven home by Ardian. He has no desire to go back to the office. He delegated his work to Luna.

"Remember Rin, don't be rash to make a decision." Ardian reminded me again.

"Aren't you happy that my relationship with Daffa ran aground?" Erina's question sounded sarcastic.

"Gue I admit, I may be the first person to sign up as a substitute for Daffa. But as a friend, I don't want to be happy either. I hate to see you sad and down. I'm still traumatized by what happened when you broke up with Pras. I'm afraid you're doing that stupid thing again."

Erina was silent at Ardian's words. What should I do if Daffa admits it? Can I take it? Or should my love run aground again? Is God punishing me?

"Honestly, I don't want you to belong to someone else. But for me it's still better than me losing elo."

"What difference? Elo would have lost me if I had chosen to remain with Daffa."

"Gue realized that. But it's better than elo no more in this world. Please don't do anything stupid if you can't accept Daffa's past."

"Thanks Di, elo is indeed my best friend."

"Hopefully I can be more than just a friend to you, Rin."

This time Erina did not answer Ardian.

Erina slowly went down the stairs. He tried to regulate his emotions before meeting Daffa. Before entering the living room, Erina paused for a moment to take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

"Hi dear," greeted Daffa as he stood up and spread his arms.

Erina usually ran straight into Daffa's arms, but not tonight. Erina looked doubtful, but she kept approaching Daffa and went into his arms. I don't know what pushed Erina, she hugged her lover's body tightly. It was as if he felt that was the last time he could embrace Daffa.

"Hey, what's wrong dear?" ask Daffa while returning Erina's embrace. He misses this girl a lot.

"nothing. I just miss you a lot. Let me enjoy your embrace" Erina replied.

"I miss you too honey." Hearing Honey's words, Erina's body stiffened. Daffa felt that. Heart wonders. So did Erina. He asked in his heart whether Daffa always remembered 'Honey' when he said that word.

An hour later they were already sitting face to face at their favorite rooftop restaurant. Haris took the initiative to rent the entire rooftop for tonight. He wanted Daffa and Erina to have time together without being disturbed by other visitors.

"Why is the restaurant quiet tonight? Usually, the rooftop is full. It's even impossible to eat here without reservation."

"This is Haris' initiative. He rented this whole rooftop."

"I didn't think Haris was romantic either. I feel like I'm in a drama. You must give a bonus to Haris for this effort. Uh, but how could he make such an impromptu reservation?"

"I forgot to tell you that this restaurant actually belongs to the Hermawanto family. More precisely belongs to Irman. For tonight, the people who have booked a place here are forced to move to the VIP room and they get a free special dish in exchange." Daffa explained.

"Wow, your family is great Daf. I feel unworthy to stand by you. Your family's wealth makes me less."

"Don't talk like that, baby. You know that my family and I never cared about things like that. What matters is that the person is not his treasure."

"Daf, have you been honest with me all this time?"

"Can you be honest about how you feel about me? How do you feel about me?"

"Why are you suddenly asking that question? Can't you see it from my attitude all along? Do you want me to tell the world how I feel about you?"

Erina was silent at Daffa's words. His attitude shows his feelings for me. But is all his love just for me?

"Dear, what's wrong with you? You sick? Don't you get tired of taking care of me in the hospital." Daffa sat down beside Erina and hugged her.

"I'm okay. Maybe because I want to menstruate so my mood is not good," replied Erina origin.

"Honey, please don't lie to me," Daffa held Erina's chin and kissed her lips gently.

Erina's mind was mixed. Who did he imagine when he kissed me? After a while, Erina pushed Daffa's chest away from her lover.

"Rin, I'm sorry that I couldn't be honest with you all this time." Deg. Erina's heart felt like jumping to hear the words. Is it time for him to tell me about his past?

"Honest about what?" Erina tried to calm down. He grabbed a glass of mineral water in front of him.

"I'm afraid to be honest with you."

"Why?"

"Because I don't know what you're doing knowing this. I'm afraid our relationship is becoming awward."

"It's still better than you not being honest with me" Erina said.

"Promise me you won't find me weird if I say it honestly." Erina nodded.

"Rin... I love you." Erina waited for the continuation of Daffa's words but the man did not say anything more.

Erina was silent not knowing how to do it. He was indeed waiting for the expression of love from Daffa. Because that means he doesn't clap one hand. However, what if the expression of love was also ever revealed to a woman named Honey? How can I beat Daffa's love for Honey and their child?

"Hey, why shut up?" daffa asked when he realized Erina had not given the expected reaction.

"Why does it take so long to express your feelings? We are engaged."

"I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you about how I felt. Honestly, when we first started a relationship, I thought love wasn't important. I don't care how you feel about me. I'm not trying to figure out how I really feel about you. All I know is that I find comfort when I'm around you. I'm afraid you fell into another man's arms."

Daffa grabbed Erina's hand and kissed her gently.

"Rin, I'm the dumbest guy in the world. I was too late to realize my love for you. Besides, I'm afraid you don't have the same feelings as me. I was worried that you would leave me because you didn't love me. All that's holding me back is expressing my love for you."

"Daf, I have something to ask you. I hope you'll be honest with me."

"Rin, I've been honest with you. What kind of honesty do you want?" ask Daffa worried. Frankly, Daffa began to feel anxious. Does Erina know anything? ask Daffa in your heart. How 'bout....

"Daf, please be honest with me. What does all this mean?" Erina took out a photo from inside her bag.

Daffa took the photo and was shocked to see it.

"Please tell me honestly, who are they? Am I the third person in your life?" asked Erina flat. Half-dead he withstood a warning that began to flare.
