Darren was silent for quite a while. Daniel's question does sound like an accusation, that he is a very evil and cruel man.
"Did you never think, you've chosen Vania from the beginning but still touched Bianca. How can you do such a thing?" ask Daniel again.
"I don't want to defend myself, but ...."
"You ruined his life, brother. You almost made her the saddest woman in the world" Daniel interrupted before Darren continued.
After a long time, now Daniel dared to reveal all the question marks and annoyance of his heart. It was not that he wanted to re-open the time that had passed, it was just that he wanted to know about what had really happened, so that Darren could be that cruel.
"We're brothers, I've known you since the first time I was born. I know you're not that kind of person" said Daniel.
"I'm sorry, Daniel." Darren.
"When our wedding plans were ripe, I thought I couldn't back down. I tried to stay away from Vania, and reassured my heart to Bianca. I think that doing so would set my heart back on Bianca, but it didn't. Vania was my choice" Darren explained.
"You think by touching Bianca your love will come back? That's defense!" exclaim Daniel.
"I knew you'd think so."
"You and Vania are the same. She's a cunning woman, a seductress, a traitor. While you're, too trusting, easily instigated, you're stupid!" hardik Daniel with nothing to cover up.
"Who doesn't trust Vania? He and Bianca had even been friends for a long time, before Bianca and I were together. Bianca and Vania are like brothers, they are inseparable. Everyone must have believed whatever Vania said about Bianca."
Daniel was silent, he agreed with that one sentence.
If Bianca and Vania had been friends for a long time, of course they would have known each other. Even their friendship went on for years.
If indeed what Darren said was honesty, then all the chaos came from one person, namely Vania. But Darren's stupidity is the biggest mistake.
"Do you know when Bianca lost her baby? The baby that came from your mistake?" ask Daniel.
Darren shakes.
"So, you don't care? Did Vania also tell you that what Bianca was carrying was not your baby?" Daniel asked with a slanted smile. His guess must be right, he was more and more convinced when Darren could not give an answer.
"You are outrageous" said Daniel.
"I regret everything, Daniel. I'm sorry." Darren exhaled a long breath while leaning his back on the back of the iron chair.
"I'm not going to blame anyone for what happened to me right now. All of this, must be punishment for what I've done to you, to Mama and Papa, to Bianca."
"I'm sorry, Daniel. I'm the reason you lost your teenage years, which you should have spent enjoying a time of freedom, but you got stuck in marriage at a young age" Darren continued.
"I don't mind it. I am happy with this marriage. I just regret everything you've done" replied Daniel.
There was no way Daniel would say if he even had a taste for Bianca even when she was still her brother's lover.
Regardless of the truth or not all of Darren's confessions, Daniel knows enough, that the fault is not entirely with the brother.
