My Beloved Arana's

Chapter 4: Scratching Wound By Wound

"Honest me, Ra. What the hell's going on? Why are you packing? If they really want to take you back with them, why do you look so sad and disappointed?" Ask Amber streak.

Arana was silent. He put in all the clothes he wanted to carry and kept the items he needed. Especially items that are full of memories, Arana kept it neatly.

"For God's sake! Arana, answer my question!" Sent Amber while pulling Arana facing her.

The pair of beads were covered in tears. A lie if Arana is not sad and not disappointed after her own parents completely do not acknowledge her existence in the world as their daughter. Exchanging her identity with Alana proves that her existence as Alana's twin is never known by the public, and Alana can freely live as her and find her true love.

Arana felt her heart being stabbed by a knife. Feels smothering. Arana was wounded, but never bled.

He looked at Amber who was looking at him worriedly and hugged him, shedding all his complaints on his friend. "I'm tired, Amber. I'm tired."

"Why haven't they seen me once who tried? Why don't they kill me if they don't want me? Hicks! Feels painful. Can't I catch up with grandma? I've missed him. I think I really want to see him."

Hearing that made Amber turn her head. He cupped Arana's face with both hands and said, "No Arana! You can't say that! There are many people in the world who want your presence. Your grandmother wants your presence in the world. He was happy until the end of his life because you were always by his side. Lily and I are happy to have met you, to be friends with you."

"Listen, everyone who gets a flower delivery from you is smiling. They are happy with your presence full of enthusiasm and smiles." Amber said with sincerity.

Arana shed her tears and cried louder in Amber's arms. She completely shed all the feelings she harbored all this time, until Arana just stopped crying after half an hour had passed.

Amber stroked his back and asked. "So, what's up until they tell you to come back?"

"They asked me to marry in place of Alana."

"Oh, married," Amber's bead glared. He jumped up and looked at Arana. "Wait, are you kidding me?!"

Arana shakes her head and dismisses Amber's denial about the possibility that Arana was just trying to melt the atmosphere after the crying event just now. Unfortunately, it seems to be true.

Arana is kneading her temple. "really? What kind of parents are they! They don't even deserve to be called parents!"

"They're trash, Arana!!" Shouts of Amber in the end.

She shook her head. "How could I let you marry a man you don't even know. No, I'll never agree to it."

"I've agreed to it, Amber. Tomorrow I'll go with them."

Brak!

"Why did you agree to it?!" Amber's scream was accompanied by the sound of a table being kicked.

Arana gave a smile. "It's okay, I'm going to take this marriage as my service to them for giving birth to me in the world. Let me thank you, because they didn't kill me while I was still in the womb."

"But, Rana. You don't even know that guy. What if he's ugly and bad?!" Ask Amber.

"No. They loved Alana. The person they choose to be engaged to Alana is unlikely to have a bad temper. At least, I'm sure he's a good guy. It's just, Alana doesn't love him." Arana's reply made Amber sigh helplessly.

"You're my best friend that I love the most. Seriously, instead of Lily, I love you more. You have to live happily. Anyway should. Until I can catch up with you to Indonesia, you can't get hurt. Understood?"

Arana returned Amber's embrace and nodded. "Mn, thank you, Amber."

...***...

In front of access to the plane, Amber stopped Arana and her parents from saying goodbye to Arana. Amber looked at Lidia and Michael before saying with a fake friendly smile.

"Uncle and aunt should take good care of Arana huh. Uncle and aunt won't believe what Arana's doing here." Amber said, shaking her head.

The deg!

Both are located on the spot. Lydia crept her hands together and turned her gaze nervously, while Michael clenched his hands and kept looking straight ahead, although his gaze was slightly shaky.

Amber smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. "It seems like Arana likes to work hard. But as a best friend I'm afraid Arana will be exhausted, even her body is a little thin."

He looked at Arana. "Arana, because you will return to your parents, start to take care of your diet. Do not just eat the same vegetables every day. Start eating meat! I'm sure your parents won't let you eat vegetables from now on."

Every word Amber spoke meant to offend Lydia and Michael. Amber just wants them to know what Arana's been doing here, for seven years without them. What'd he eat? How he can survive.

As for the conscious matter or not, Amber glanced at them and sneered cynically with the corner of her lips raised.

That's their business.

"Arana, remember my message." Amber hugged Arana.

He continued in a whisper, "When you want to go back, even if I'm in college, I'll pick you up."

Arana chuckled softly and nodded her head. "I understand. See you later, Amber."

After saying goodbye, Amber watched the plane that Arana was boarding take off shortly after Arana and her parents entered.

Amber folded her hands and prayed. "Father, always keep Arana in her life. Give him happiness, Father. Amien." - Amien."

Arana spent almost a day on the plane. After bidding farewell to Amber, Arana just sat quietly on the plane and almost ignored the whereabouts of Lydia and Michael. Arana does not want to be a disobedient and disrespectful child, but Arana is already sick.

"Arana, we're here, son." Said Lydia waking up Arana who was sleeping all night.

The girl opened her eyes slowly. The morning sunlight entered his visual senses through the window of the plane. Arana was a little dazed for two seconds before finally coming to her senses, stepping away following the other passengers and looking for her suitcase.

"Papa's driver will pick you up." Michael broke the silence between three people who dragged their luggage to the airport exit.

Arana did not say, just shut up and turned on her phone after she deactivated it inside the plane.

Michael looked at Arana's phone and said, "Just throw that phone away, Rana. Papa's gonna buy you the same new phone that Alana's got."

Arana did not glance and immediately replied, "This is the gift of grandmother."

Michael was silent.

Lydia tried to shift the conversation to reduce the awkwardness. "Um, do you really work, Rana? Mama—" means"

"If I don't work, I'll starve to death."

But every answer Arana made the atmosphere even more awkward. Lidia and Michael also could not comment much. Because here, they admit that they were guilty of never sending money to Arana. But they are very busy with their work. Lydia is busy taking care of Alana, while Michael is busy with the company.

Until they barely have time to be selfish, let alone Arana who is far away there.

After the atmosphere became awkward, Arana did not react to anything. His face was flat, but his heart became more and more painful. Her parents, they made a mistake.

Even children know to apologize if they make a mistake.
