The Couple In Love
Episode 43
“Hey Akira. It's also painful to just keep each other's feelings and lie when we have the same feelings. But, what is much more painful is that we know that we love each other and we already do
say it to each other, but no matter what, we can't possibly have it.” Daylan's tears trickled down.
“What do you mean?”
“Akira, promise me before I tell you!”
“What the hell is this?!”
“Please promise me you won't cry, and I'll say it..”.
“How can you request such a request..?” Daylan smiled. Akira breathed a long breath. “Alright, I don't promise, but I will try..”.
“Actually... Daniel Erlangga is my brother...”.
Akira shut up. His mind completely did not understand Daylan's speech. Body's squeezing. “No. No way... You lied, right?” akira's eyes glazed expectantly at Daylan.
- No. I made him hurt again..- “Because of that, decide him!”
“I beg you to stop lying! This really doesn't make any sense! Aren't you the only child of the Marendra family?! And he is also the only child of the Erlangga family? So, how can you confess-me if she is your sister?!”
“The story is long.”
“Then tell me everything! Tell me what really happened!”
“OK, I'll tell you everything. Even if I didn't know you'd believe me or not. Now sit! Your legs can cramp if you keep standing so..”.
Both sit down. The mood was silent for a moment. Daylan started talking. “I didn't say anything about Erlangga's my sister. Even though we are from a different family. My grandfather married another woman before he married my grandmother. From his first marriage grandfather had one child, his father Erlangga. After giving birth to his father Erlangga, his grandfather's first wife died. Two years later, my grandfather married my grandmother and my father was born. Because the grandfather's second son turned out to be a boy again, for the form of affection on the first wife who
still very loved it, grandfather decided to give papa Erlangga with his first name, while papa was given a last name as a family name. Grandpa Erlangga Marendra's name. And because Erlangga has been sent to papa Erlangga, papa can Marendra as his embed. And after marriage. Uncle has Daniel Erlangga who is one year old above me. And papa has me, Daylan Allan Marendra. So, you could say Erlangga is my cousin's brother. Although Erlangga and I never got along because we were always different and became rivals, but our family relationship was very good and quite close. Papa never considered his brother as a stepbrother, grandmother also always considered Papa Erlangga as his own biological child, so our relationship can be maintained until now. although Erlangga and I will only get along at official events or family gatherings, but actually we used to deket and accreb really. So, I'm also not surprised that you can like him and always be proud of him, he is an extraordinary person. It is up to you to believe or not. What is clear is that I have tried to be honest and not lie to you as much as I can.” Daylan closed his long story with a thin smile that he forced.
“But... if she's your sister, how does she not know if I'm your wife?” respond Akira wonder.
“He knows I'm married. But, she didn't know I was marrying you. At that time I heard he had to immediately leave to take care of his studies here. So, he can't come and just leave his gifts and apologies to us.”
“Then, does he really not understand about me?”
“Entahlah. But, chances are he doesn't know. I know it's heavy, but I beg you, let him go.”.
“Should I let go? Sounds a little unfair..”
“Sorry..”
“It hurts when we find our loved ones only to learn how to take them off..” Akira's eyes glaze over. he takes a heavy breath. “What do you think if we just broke up? Aren't we serious? Isn't this relationship just messing around?”
Daylan's eyes stared at Akira inside. “What did you say? We disperse?”
“Y-yes. What if..”
“Why are you so selfish?!”
“Did you even listen to me? I told you to break up with him, not with me. How can you..?”.
“Didn't you say the wrong thing? I should have told you how could you determine and do all this to me?!” Akira stood up and turned to leave Daylan. Daylan caught up with Akira quickly and grabbed his wrist. “Release!” pekik Akira ketus's. However, Daylan's hand tightened his grip. “I said le...” Akira's speech was interrupted by Daylan's hand which in an instant had moved
into his arms. Akira's eyes widened in shock.
“I can let Erlangga take everything that should be mine. I will shut up and accept that. But not for you. I can't take you off for him. You are mine.” Daylan's Hugs
getting tighter. As if I didn't want to, but I was very afraid of losing it.
“Day..”.
“Listen to me...”
“No. I don't want to hear...” Akira tried to rebel. However, he was unable to let go of Daylan.
“I'm not forcing you to hear it, but at least I want to be honest and tell you everything.”
“Stop..!” pinta Akira is down.
“You must be so dear to him that you don't want to hear him.” A drop of Daylan's tears fell down Akira's shirt and pierced through his skin. Stopping Akira's movements and reluctance to listen to him. “Actually..the man you should have been betrothed to is not me, but Erlangga. But, grandfather felt that Erlangga was too obedient so that whatever grandfather asked, grandfather orders, and grandfather will certainly do. Because of that, grandfather finally gave Erlangga the freedom to marry the woman he wanted to accompany his life. And instead grandfather appointed me to take responsibility for all that without knowing that I already had someone I wanted to marry while Erlangga still had not put her heart on anyone. And after I sacrificed myself for all this, after you pulled my feelings so far, after all this... how can... how could you prefer her over me.?.?” Daylan let go of his grip. “You think I must be a very selfish person and not care about other people's feelings. I won't be able to compare with Erlangga in the slightest. Hhh. I used to feel it. Since long ago grandfather, papa, even sometimes mama also compared me to Erlangga.But, for some reason, it was very painful when she heard and felt you doing it.”.
“Daylan..”.
“I tried my best to be better than Erlangga, but no matter how hard I tried to do it, in their eyes, I was never better than Erlangga. I tried to do everything they wanted and they asked. I try to follow as best I can. Until that day comes. The day
my parents asked me to come home as soon as I finished my studies at Tokyo University. Mama and papa welcomed my return in a way that I longed for, but all that was just to say that they had betrothed me to you. Know it? I tried to reject him because Maura was on behalf of Erlangga who was one year older than me, but I could only say whatever. My submissive nature suddenly revolted. I can't leave it.. but now.. I. I can't lose you. I...” Daylan immediately pulled Akira into his arms. The long story was stopped by the tears that flowed more and more from his two eyes.
