My Beloved Arana's

Chapter 51: Honest Heart

Opening her manic slowly, the bright light from the lights on the ceiling of her room made Arana blink several times, securing her vision while slowly swaying as a sense of dizzy perched on her head.

"Uhh!"

"Darling? You awake yet? It's okay, go to sleep again. Don't move much yet." That familiar voice made Arana look over. His consciousness is fully back. There, there was Alva sitting next to him.

He was confused. "I ... What's going on?"

Alva grabbed her hand, squeezing it gently, bringing comfort to the girl. "You had an accident, baby."

Arana blinked, before memories flowed through her head. Yes, some time ago he had an accident after returning from the boutique Karina. He was crossing when a car broke a traffic light and hit him. Arana remembered she slightly reduced the impact effect by holding the front of her body by hand, but fainted from being pushed two meters away. His head hit the edge of the road and his gaze was twitching until he was unaware of what had happened to him.

"Am I handicapped? Am I paralyzed? I can't walk anymore, can I?!" Arana asked frantically as she remembered her leg hitting the car body quite strongly. The pain he felt at that time was still burning.

Alva rubbed his arm and said softly. "Quiet, baby. You're not handicapped. You are not paralyzed. Your legs are just a little fractured. But it will heal in a few weeks and heal completely in a few months."

"really?" Tanya Arana made sure.

Alva nodded. "Yes dear. The doctor said, as long as you eat a lot of foods and drinks that contain calcium, your right leg will heal soon."

Arana glanced at her bandaged right leg. It was dark and painful as he tried to move it. Arana sighed. He should not complain just because of the small injuries he had sustained. God still loves him by looking after him. Having only suffered a bone fracture, Arana is grateful that her life is still safe. Because, if Arana was late to react a little, it was certain that her body would be hit strongly and it was possible for her to be in another room that made her shudder in horror.

"Thank you, Father. You still saved me from death." The inner Arana cannot be separated from her gratitude.

Arana's focus is distracted by Alva holding her right hand tightly. Sticking it on his forehead. "I'm so afraid something's happened to you, baby."

Arana's heart warms. But on the other hand, he also felt his heart ache.

5-year-old Arana once came to Lidia when Lydia came to Melbourne to give her monthly money and take an angry Alana vacation. Seen from his face that is always bent when setting foot in the simple house of the grandmother.

At that time, Arana was injured due to bullying committed by her schoolmates. His hands were sprained and slightly swollen.

He showed it to his mother, trying to get a little attention. If Lydia doesn't like him better than Alana, maybe Lydia's attention she'll get from the wounds she's got. Perhaps the mother will pity him, and begin to notice him. But Arana was wrong.

Lydia instead looked back on him as a problem child and told him to be a good child who did not do bad actions.

Arana is used to being without affection, aside from her grandmother and best friend.

The attention Alva gave him made him melt. His heart that yearns and yearns for warmth and affection is also moved by Alva's kindness and sincerity. Every little thing he did. His attention. Her smile. His gaze. Warming Arana's heart..

But then Arana always and always realized, that the gaze was only for Alana, not for her. That smile, his attention, Alva's sweet words to him just because he pretended to be Alana.

What Alva loved was Alana, not her.

That fact is what makes Arana's chest tight. He was sick when Alva smiled at him. He was sick when Alva called him dear gently. She was sick when Alva hugged her at night.

She's just Arana, who shamelessly loves a man she's tricked into. When the man's love is so sincere.

Arana clenched her hand. A tear could not be held back, sliding away from the end of his eye. Arana just wants to be happy, Arana just wants to be noticed. Arana is human, she is a child. She was just like Alana, even they were twin sisters. Butwhy?

"Darling?" Alva was stupefied when she saw the tear in Arana's face. He was distraught as the sob slowly escaped from the girl's pale lips. "Hiks ... Hicks!"

Alva wiped her tears and asked worriedly. "Darling, what's wrong? Is anyone sick? Is something bothering you? Why are you crying??"

Not getting any answers, Alva can only hold Arana. He stroked her thin back and spoke soft words that made Arana's heart even more painful.

Why are their lives so different?

"Hiks!"

...***...

"Va, is she okay?"

Erlan asked Alva when she found the girl's bead. Arana was sleeping in Alva's arms, hugging him tightly as if Alva had left, she would have lost everything. The man's face was cold, yet his hands gently touched Arana's cheeks, wiping away the rest of the tears imprinted after nearly half an hour of crying. He felt a fine breath on his neck, and his hands clenched.

"He's crying. Why is she crying?" Muttered Alva.

Erlan who was standing beside him hesitated a little. Pads finally, dis says nothing and only notices in silence. Her best friend had really fallen for the girl.

Erlan had known Alva for a long time.

Once upon a time, Alva was cold, stiff, and almost never in a relationship with anyone but Flora. Even with Flora, their relationship seems like more of a mutual relationship. Flora needs a shield to avoid being betrothed, and Alva is fed up with being chased by women while they sit in college.

Then she went out with Alana. Erlan knew that it was a falsehood, her sweet and kind demeanor all along was nothing more than a plan of revenge. Erlan thinks Alana will melt down on Alva, but who would have thought if it turns out that the girl ran away, and he told Arana to replace her only so that her parents' company does not go bankrupt if the cooperation between Michael and Erlangga company broke up.

Arana is an anomaly in Alva's plan.

Erlan did not think that Alva was approaching him out of love. Maybe Alva wants to make it a weapon to destroy Alana. But in fact, the attitude that Alva had shown to Arana was the real form of sincerity. Alva really likes Arana.

For Erlan, whoever it was, as long as Alva really loved her sincerely, and did not hurt Alva, Erlan would accept it.

The manic looked at Arana fixedly. But he can't help but hope, so that Arana is able to make Alva forget her revenge.

"Revenge won't change anything, Va. After all, the principle that you held all this time, is not what your sister wanted, right?" His mind in his silence.
