MARIED CAMUCHO

24. Request

This was the last shot before Miley left the stage because she heard a scream stop from the photographer. He walked about to take a drink, but the figure of Rebecca who approached him made Miley set the appearance because she wanted to get a good impression and praise.

"You did a good job, Miley."

A happy smile spread on his lips. "Thanks." -."

"Quite tiring, can't you make it to the top 5?" ask Rebecca.

Miley nodded her lips thinking. "Yes. It's exhausting enough, but I'm going to keep showing my best performance to be like you."

"I'm impressed that you want to be like me" Rebecca said with a faint smile. "Did you know that Dayana's married?"

Miley's wide smile slowly receded, replaced with a frown of confusion.

"W-what? Is dayana married?"

Rebecca nodded. "Yes. Didn't she tell you? Oh, I thought you guys were so close. But it turns out Dayana didn't tell you about her wedding? He's cruel too."

Miley stared at the floor blankly. He walked away past Rebecca who was grinning satisfied with his successful trick just now.

Already contacted several times, Dayana did not pick up the call at all. Though he wanted to make sure Rebecca's words that made him think until now. Until Miley is unfocused following her competition which makes Rebecca secretly laugh out loud in mind.

Meanwhile, Dayana was in the hospital. He did not realize his phone was ringing in the bag because he was focusing on worrying Arturo who now looks sad after getting news not wearing about his mother.

Ingrid died this morning of a heart condition. It made Arturo and Dayana dart away to see him.

There was also Olivia crying hermitically in Damien's arms. The man was quite reliable as it turned out to be present in such a precarious state.

"Hey," Dayana called and hugged Arturo's body, giving a soft elusan on his back.

"Your mother would be sad if you were like this. Look at me, Art." Dayana cupped Arturo's face so visibly lost. "There I am here. Your mother will be happy there."

Arturo nodded and hugged Dayana again. The two of them were so mourned in grief especially when the funeral was done.

Arturo was silent all day, no matter where he was. Dayana could do nothing more than let her calm down alone.

But when the funeral is done, the figure of Rebecca ventured to bring up the trunk of her nose even from a distance. Dayana could tell for sure if the woman in black glasses with a matching hood near the tree was her brother who was observing.

"Are you okay?" tanya Dayana made sure. Arturo was silent alone in his study. Not doing tasks in the computer, but daydreaming.

"Come here" Arturo said. He turned his chair to Dayana and hugged his stomach while still sitting.

"I didn't expect him to leave so soon" he said quite weakly.

Dayana rubbed Arturo's head gently to calm him down.

"Now I only have Olivia and you. You're not leaving me too, are you?"

No answer could be said from his mouth. Even Arturo felt the rubbing on his head was already motionless like before.

"Why are you quiet?" Arturo took off his embrace and looked up. "You're gonna leave me?"

Dayana looked the other way nervously. "I'll prepare warm water for you after that you have to sleep."

Dayana's body disappeared from view. Arturo understood Dayana's expression when asked instead of being shifted to another topic.

Arturo does not want to lose Dayana who has become part of his life, just like Ingrid and Olivia.

On the other hand, Dayana was looking at her phone while waiting for the bathtub to be filled with warm water. He gets several messages and calls from Miley telling him to meet.

The next day, Dayana went to meet Miley at a restaurant not far from where they lived.

"Mile!" call Dayana and sit in front of Miley. "Is the show done? You winning?"

Miley stared lazily at Dayana. "You're married?"

The question froze Dayana for a few moments, thinking about where her best friend knew.

"I thought we were close and friendly, Day. But you hid your marriage from me? You always tell me about all the men you date, but you don't tell me about your husband? Yourmarriage? What the fuck?"

...----------------...

Miley squeaks sharply. "I don't want to hear your excuses, Day. You don't even care about my feelings. Do you ever feel betrayed by your own best friend when something is hidden? Did you forget, Day? We always dream of attending our wedding, doing crazy things, and taking pictures together. Did you forget that?"

"Mile, I really..." Dayana was confused to explain. "You have to trust me."

Miley stood up when they had not ordered anything to eat. The woman was already very upset with Dayana for her betrayal.

"It's okay not to invite me. May you live happily," she hoped rather coldly and then waltzed away from there.

Dayana is upset. He was given no chance to explain and hesitated to tell everyone when the opportunity came.

"You got scolded by your best friend, huh?" added someone who just sat in Miley's chair earlier.

Dayana raised her face with a direct gaze towards Rebecca who was sitting with sunglasses perched on her nose.

"You told him?"

Rebecca shrugged her shoulders relaxed. "Isn't he your best friend? He should know everything."

"What do you want, Rebecca? Why are you bothering me?"

"Malaysia..." Rebecca leaned back in her chair haughtily. "I just want you to part with Arturo and give it back to me. That'sthat's all. I never gave it to you, Day. I was just leaving Arturo, but you didn't know he was taking him."

"If you want to take Arturo, don't bring Miley into our trouble. What's wrong with you, Bec?"

"You know what, Day? When I was a kid, I was so happy to have a sister like you. But the more you grow, the more you take from me. The smiles of my parents are always given to you. My friends' attention is always given to you. The love of the man I love, given to you. I'm tired of everything being taken by you, Day. Since then, I've wanted to be more than you. I swear I'll get everything beyond what you took from me. See and? Everybody loves me, Day. But when I love Arturo, you take him" Rebecca said at length.

"You envy me?" tanya Dayana pointed to herself.

"Dear?" Rebecca smiled disdainfully. "I'm just mad at you. I want to make you miserable and lose it all, Day."

"I didn't think you could be this bad, Bec. All this time I admired you as a big brother, but you deviated from my expectations."

Rebecca got up from her seat with an arrogant face. "Do not put hope in people. You'll just be disappointed, Day."

Rebecca also left in front of Dayana who is now sitting alone holding back emotions. Concerns also came closer. Dayana was pensive on the balcony of her apartment without realizing Arturo had returned home from her office.

The man took off his coat and walked over to Dayana. Her hands moved around hugging her stomach from behind which made Dayana startled.

"Why are you daydreaming here?" ask Arturo.

Dayana closed her eyes enjoying Arturo's warm kiss on her cheek. After which, he turned his body so that the two of them could face each other.

"You... promise you'll give me everything I want?" tanya Dayana stroked the small side of Arturo's face.

"Sure. What do you want, hmm?"

Dayana gulped, unable to say it. But he had to do this so that Rebecca would not harass him and bring others to threaten him.

"I want to. We parted," he said making Arturo's embrace loosen.

"I promised you that this marriage would be over until your mother was gone" he said, not daring to see Arturo's response.

"You're asking to part with me just because my mom died?" Arturo's tone was like an emotional pressure, even now his hands had been removed from Dayana's waist.

"What are you thinking?" the question is not thought out.

"From the beginning of our marriage it was just to make use of each other. You used me only as Rebecca's replacement and to please your mother, right? Now look! Your mother is gone and my job is done" he said.

Arturo ruffled his waist sideways while rubbing his face in frustration after hearing that.

"Is this because of Rebecca?"

Dayana shakes her head. "No. Of course not. I'm asking to part with you because my job is done."

Arturo's head shook his head. His feet stepped away from there so wide and fast that Dayana could not catch up with him.

Arturo will definitely meet Rebecca, Dayana guessed.
