Rheas

Part 26: Rhea's First Love

“Hai, handsome guy. Mom said, you are my husband.” Said Rhea who sounded so carefree typical of a teenager who has a cheerful personality.

“I've never seen it like this.” Daffa looked at Dean questioningly.

“This is his true nature while with us. There may be some luck he forgot his new memory.” Ledek Dean nosy.

“Remember the cute girl, call me Doctor Dean handsome from today.” Dean blinked his eyes at Rhea and passed towards the sofa in the corner of the room and dropped his body there.

“I'm so Tired after looking after you all night. Now let me sleep. Your husband will stay up all night for you.” Dean yawned, and instantly closed his eyes in just a matter of minutes.

“Is he right your brother? I don't ahu you have an older brother that shady.” Reply Daffa was taunted to the point of making everyone chuckle, not least Rhea.

“You're beautiful if you smile like that.” Daffa was stunned as he looked at the new scene before his eyes. While the one who was praised could only meet and bow his head deeply.

Dean narrowed his eyes so as not to lose the sweet moment. She was so happy that her sister was with the right person.

“Even the blind will know. How sharp the laser you are emitting through your eyes.” Syndicated Dean.

Dean encouraged his parents to get out of the VVIP room and invited them to rest elsewhere. He was just trying to give a place for the couple who were drunk with love to spend time together.

“You okay?” With a hesitant step, Daffa approached and pulled the chair beside Rhea's bed.

“Do not sit there.” Daffa. Then what should he be? Will the girl ask him to come out, he will throw her out?

“Disini.” Rhea shifted her seat slightly and patted the empty side beside her. He wanted Daffa to sit there beside him instead of in the visitor's seat.

According to Daffa, he sat right beside Rhea despite being timid. He did not know exactly how the girl reacted because of her amnesia. Unexpectedly Rhea even grabbed Daffa's hand and wrapped it around his shoulder. He leaned against Daffa's chest, and asked the young man to hold him.

“I'm cold, I think this way will feel warmer.” His words are getting stuck.

Slowly but surely, Daffa began to tighten his arms and kissed his wife's forehead long enough. “Can I sleep on your lap?” Rhea looked up to see Daffa's reaction. Daffa nodded in allowing.

“But it will make your body sick?” said lethargic. He took off the Daffa's hold and looked at her with a sad look.

“Why?”

“You should sleep sitting all night, if I do.” Daffa.

“No problem. As long as you get well and I can take you home. I'll ask for my payment once you get home.” Daffa poked Rhea's nose, making the girl so carefree and happy.

Daffa raises Rhea's bed rest. As the wife wished, she sat there and helped Rhea to sleep on her lap. Not only that, he even sang a very sweet sleeping song for the girl.

Rhea fell asleep there. He found his own peace after all this time. Whether intentional or not, but these are the times he has been waiting for in his marriage with Daffa.

Because there was one thing that the young man never knew about Rhea. ‘Daffa is his first love’. He had loved Daffa since the first time he saw Daffa studying with his father. Even if you only see it from behind the layer via Skype calls. But his heart was getting a different vibe. ‘He loved it, from the first time he met her’.

“How can it?” ask Syahnaz not to believe.

“He told me, he sent me an email back then.” The Riggle pair seems focused on listening.

“Not the first time you met Daffa was thirteen years ago? Rhea was only ten years old at the time. He first saw Daffa when you taught him the basics via Skype.”

“The young man is very smart, to be able to master all the material even though only through video calls. My sister admired him so much back then, the young man looked dazzling in her eyes.”

“At first he felt very disappointed when they married him to Devian, but after seeing Daffa take his place. He's happy. He never even questioned Daffa's cold attitude towards him. He was also willing to pretend to brainwash her to draw Daffa's sympathy for her. If she knew, that she had been pregnant with Daffa's child, could she have been happier.” Dean breezed away leaving his parents who were still staring at the two sweet couples.

They gasped when they saw Dean was gone and rushed to follow him into his private room.

“Dean wait!” Madame Shahnaz slammed the door and locked it from the inside.

They were sitting on Dean's living couch, facing each other. There are important things they should discuss. They realized they had missed an important topic.

“Where have you been all this time? Some even say you're dead, and Devian kills you.”

“Aishh!! Shit!!” Dean ruffled his hair rough.

“Not Daffa spread it?” said frustration.

“Informan Dean was wrong, my necklace was stolen and he used my identity to get closer to Devian. She was! That fool.” Cussing.

“Even I myself have trained him. It could be that he betrayed and ended tragically like that.”

“You haven't answered it.” Snap Prof Riggle.

“I protect my sister. Wandering around him and helping him this-that. Who do you think made him so lucky?” riggle couple stare at each other.

“He survived the explosion twice. First at Devian's, second yesterday. He also managed to skip their very painful brainwashing process. You know, they do brain surgery to drain his memory.” Dean grumbled.

They've been through a really tough day all this time. Who would have thought if the two brothers turned out to support each other all this time. They get along so well and grow up loving each other like siblings.

Madame Shahnaz's heart was filled to see her son who was so responsible for her aunt's trust to take care of Rhea. Though their age is quite far adrift, ten years. But they can grow up like friends who rely on each other.

“I'll look after him all my life Mom, Dad.” Dean's Determination.

“You should get married too, baby. You're thirty-two years old, I'm sure that your sister will support you too.” Shahnaz held warm the hand of the son.

“I will only marry a girl who can love Rhea as much as I.” Dean went straight to his computer and continued his work. His attitude seemed to affirm that he could no longer be denied.
