The Affair With My Step Brother

Chapter 45's

"Of course I'm not lying. Anyway, for what I lied to you. There's no luck, is there?" my answer. I had to look reassuring in Rey's eyes so she wouldn't suspect that I was lying to her.

I'd rather lie to him than tell the truth. I was afraid, Rey recalled the incident that hurt her so much at that time.

On this second occasion, I want to make amends for all my sins and sins on Rey's sister. I promise I will never repeat the same mistake and will never hurt him again.

Meanwhile, Rey just fell silent listening to my answer.

"Come, quickly finish the porridge. Ac ...." I aimed a spoonful of porridge at Rey's mouth. But instead of opening my mouth, Rey put both her hands on my wrists.

"What's wrong?" ask him, while putting the spoon containing the porridge back into the bowl.

"But why don't you wear a ring? Shouldn't there be a ring around your finger?" ask again.

Jamb. I don't know what to answer. If I could have lied to Rey, it would have been the other one. But what yes, my lies must be exposed so soon. I have to find an excuse. The ring thing, I can buy it myself later.

"Ah .. oh .. that ... ring ... ring I keep at home, I forgot to wear it."

"Why did you get off? You should've worn the ring, couldn't take it off."

"Ah yes, sorry. I'll wear it when I get home. Take it easy," I replied, lying again for the umpteenth time.

Where did I get a diamond ring like Rey gave me back then. This is how hard it is to lie. Once you lie, you create other lies to cover up the first lie.

I turned the porridge spoon back towards Rey's mouth, but for the second time, she caught my wrist again and asked, "Do you love me?"

I was silent as Rey's sister looked at me fixedly. For a while my tongue felt stiff, but soon I replied, "Of course. What the hell are you talking about? I'm your future wife."

"really? But I don't know why ... I don't see any love in your eyes when I look at me?"

Deg. My heart aches hearing it. I don't know why Rey's words always sound good. Ever since he was a human, he's been asking this and that about our relationship.

"Ck, what are you talking about? Of course I love you, you are my future husband. Not that you have seen the evidence for yourself. All day long I have been by your side, I have never been anywhere, and I have always fed you. Even as long as you haven't regained consciousness, I continue to be here" I explained.

"I didn't ask you if you loved me or not. What I'm asking is, do you love me? Love and love are two different things. Sweetheart can be to anyone, while love, love can only be felt to a partner. You got it, didn't you? So again I ask, do you love me or not?" ask her again, while looking at me fixedly.

"Of course, of course. Of course I .. love you," I replied in a bit of a sigh. "Already, quiet. The doctor said you still can't say much. You have to rest a lot so you can recover quickly," I said as I thrust a spoonful of porridge towards Rey's mouth so that she immediately stopped talking.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I love Rey myself. But slowly, as we come together, I will learn and try to love her.

After Rey finished her porridge, she went back to rest. While I was, my mind was still dizzy thinking about the ring. Looks like I have to go out looking for a similar ring to cover up my lies.

But thinking of going out, I don't know why I'm scared. I was afraid to meet Darren mas outside, afraid that Darren would return to act recklessly like this morning. I'm sure Darren can't give up just letting me live quietly with Rey. There's no way I should continue to trouble Andra's brother to take care of me, he's not my bodyguard.

Rey's condition has improved a lot and she finally got out of the hospital. Although he has not fully recovered and has not been able to walk, but at least Rey's brother can sit.

We are now in the Bagaskara Family mansion. I pushed Rey's wheelchair into a room. Actually her original room was on the second floor, but since she was now using a wheelchair, it was rather difficult to take her upstairs. So for a while brother Rey stayed in the guest room downstairs first until his condition recovered as usual.

"Have you been here before?" ask Rey.

I'm shaking. "Yet. This is the first time I've set foot here. You used to only take me to your apartment."

"Oh, huh?"

"He'em," I replied while nodding.

"It looks like I completely forgot everything we've ever done" he said.

I did not respond to her words, instead offering her to rest. 

"Do you want to lie down?" my question is, I'm afraid Rey hasn't been able to sit much longer.

"Yet. Later first. I still want to sit down. Can you take me to the park? I want to take a walk and breathe some fresh air there. Staying in the hospital is very boring" he said.

"of course. But you have to show me where the garden is." I pushed Rey's wheelchair out of the room, and she served as her guide.

Inside such a huge house like this, of course I would be lost if no one told me the way to this and that place. Especially this is the first time I've come here.

Arriving at the park. I chose to sit on one of the garden chairs there. The scenery there is very beautiful, it seems there is a gardener who is in charge of caring for all the flowers and other ornamental plants.

Rey is seen smiling while breathing deeply, then exhaling slowly.

"Since childhood, I've always loved being here. Playing football, and so on."

"The place here is indeed very beautiful and beautiful, also very spacious. So it's only natural that you like it. I'm just the first one to come here already very fond of the place."

"Oh, huh?" Rey turned towards me.

"He'em." I nodded while smiling at him.

For a while we were both silent, preoccupied with our own thoughts. Right now I'm thinking, how can I get a ring. As for Rey, I don't know what she's thinking right now, but she just suddenly opened her voice.

"Can I ask you something more? About our relationship."

I'm nodding. "What's that?"

"Mm... What before I got into an accident, we've already set a wedding date?"
