"Geez Rain, where have you been. We've been waiting for you since. You don't see, Dad's anxiously waiting for you." Viloen felt relieved and a little annoyed at his sister.
An hour ago, they were in the photo studio doing a family photo shoot. But Rain, who had known from the beginning of the shooting schedule, seemed intentional to arrive late.
"Sorry brother. I'm asleep." Despite saying this, Rain showed no guilt.
Since the beginning Rain did not intend to take a shooting session which required him to meet Mera.
Seeing Mera who was so beautiful, and also smiling affectionately as she looked at her Daddy, still caused pain in Rain's heart.
"Viloen, Rain, come on, we need to finish this shoot." Tegur Travis's. The man was reluctant to fuss about the behavior of his youngest son who still could not accept Mera as his future wife.
"Good Dad."
Beside Travis, Mera did not say a word. He knew Rain was reluctant to do so with him. So Mera didn't want to demand much on Rain.
Rain just wanted to come, that was enough for him, than the man had to refuse blatantly. Mera did not dare to expect more after what happened to their relationship.
This was indeed his fault for not considering Rain's feelings. Mera thought Rain would understand and accept their new relationship after some time had passed, but it seemed, like, Mera should be able to accept if Rain chooses to be indifferent as if they are two people who never know each other.
"You look at Rain, Daddy's so happy." Viloen chirps who have since noticed a friendly shooting session between their father and Mera.
Viloen also smiled warmly because for him, one of the joys of his life was seeing their Daddy happy. But for Rain, his Daddy happiness is a poison that eats away at his heart..
Rain silently did not respond, although he occasionally stole a glance, but Rain did not want to openly show that he was watching the two with jealousy.
"I hope that one day I can also marry the woman I love so much." Viloen imagined what if he proposed to Wilona and they got married, wouldn't that be a great happiness?
Huh. What am I here for..? Everyone thinks only of their own happiness. What about me, doesn't anyone care about my feelings?
Rain took off his tie and threw it in any place and left the studio without a word, "Rain, where are you going?" It was Viloen who realized Rain's departure.
"home. I'm tired." Rain had no intention of staying longer in that place just to notice the lovers who were showing off their affection.
Rain is sick of being a spectator. For what he was in a place that would only make his feelings uncomfortable.
"But Rain, how could you just walk away? What if Daddy was looking for you?" Prevent Viloen.
Rain smiled cynically, "Didn't big brother be able to solve everything? The expert brother isn't, clean up all the mess I made!"
Viloen could only stroke the chest resignedly looking at Rain's attitude. From that night on, Rain seemed to isolate himself from their familial relationship.
Rain became quieter. Talk as necessary, and spend more time outside the home. Now Viloen feels like he lost his little brother.
"What should I really do to you Rain..?"
Not long after, all the shooting sessions were finished. While Mera changes clothes, Travis approaches her eldest son.
"Dad..?"
"Where's your sister?" Travis asked who had not seen Rain in the studio.
"Rain has come home, Dad. Got to do the job." Viloen smiled awkwardly. Now he has to lie.
Viloen knew Rain was reluctant to stay longer with them, but on the one hand Viloen could not tell Daddy the truth either.
"alright. Come on, we'll have lunch together, but we'll have to wait for Mera for a bit." Take Travis.
"I don't think I can, either. There's still work to be done on campus." Viloen also lost his taste for worrying about Rain.
"All right then. Be careful on the road when you're Son."
...❄️...
"Rain, are you inside?" Viloen visited Rain's studio. Viloen had already called people at his house, and Rain had not returned there.
When he found the front door unlocked, Viloen just walked into the studio. After checking the first floor and not finding Rain, Viloen decided to go up to the second floor.
Viloen walked through the room and put the food he brought on the table. From inside the room, Viloen heard the sound of water fluttering, which meant Rain was in there.
"This kid, how could he live in such a messy place like this." Viloen tidied up Rain's messy stuff while waiting for his little sister to finish cleaning up.
Viloen tidied up the bed, put some musical instruments into place, even Viloen also cleaned the sofa, and also Rain's study table..
But in between his work, Viloen frowned when he found several photos that fell scattered under the table.
Viloen's face looks stiff when staring at the photos..
"Sister.why is sister here?" Asked Rain who had just come out of the bathroom. "Rain, what is this?" Viloen asked in a foreign voice..
Degs..
Rain realized what her brother was currently questioning..
"Isn't this Mera, and you..?"
Viloen still can't digest everything well. He didn't understand why there was a photo of Rain and his Daddy's lover in that place.
The photo shows the closeness between the two, and they are not like strangers..
"It's nothing brother. Don't interfere in my affairs." Rain took the photos from Viloen's hands and threw them in the trash.
"Rain, you have to explain everything to brother. Why are there photos here. What were you and Mera before..?" Viloen looked at Rain with mixed feelings.
Seeing Rain who was silent a thousand languages made Viloen realize something..
If this is the case, then Viloen can understand why Rain has never received or welcomed the arrival of Mera into their family.
Not because Rain didn't accept Mera as his Daddy's girlfriend, but because there was something between them.
"Rain..?"
"What does my sister want to know? That woman dumped me for Daddy?" Rain brushed off Viloen's hand.
"Did you want to hear how shocked and hurt I was when I found out that the woman I loved so much for so many years turned around and rejected me because of Daddy? I see..?"
"Or do you want to know how I feel when I see the woman that Daddy introduces as his girlfriend is the woman I want to be my lover?"
"Wheel..." Viloen breathed a heavy sigh. He knew it wouldn't be easy for Rain. And Viloen also felt guilty for letting Rain endure it all by herself.
"Let's be stupid." Viloen pulled Rain and hugged her tightly. Viloen wanted to give his little brother a little consolation.
"I'm sorry for making you feel that wound again. Sorry Rain."
Rain was injured once again. But this time he felt not so heavy, because Viloen hugged him. There was a hand that Rain knew would always pat her on the shoulder when she felt slumped.
"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you the truth, brother. I don't want to disappoint Daddy. I also want Daddy to be happy, but right now, my heart still can't take it."
Rain also knew very well, that his Daddy was really happy when he was with Mera. Rain could see the long-dead twinkle and now it was beginning to shine again, and all because of Mera.
But why should that woman? why do they like the same woman?
Now how will Rain repay Mera? if by injuring Mera, then Rain will also hurt her Daddy.
Should he just give up, and let all the pain of his heart go away on its own?
But it hurts so much..
"alright. Alright. Brother knows what you mean Rain. My brother will always support you. I'm sorry brother."
