The Couple In Love
Episode 61
Hhhh. This woman before him was completely different from the women he had met all along. “You are very worried about his feelings, yes?” Akira did not answer. “If you're so afraid he's hurt deeper because of you, why don't you just pick him up and leave Daylan?” Akira warmed both his eyes jerked at the figure before him. He never expected that figure would say such a thing to him. Wasn't he the one who asked himself to choose Daylan? “Why do you look that surprised? You're surprised I said it?” Akira was still speechless unable to answer in his war. “I guess you were really surprised to hear me say it until you spokeless so. Listen to me, don't sacrifice your happiness for someone else if you're not sure you'll be as strong as a rock to bear the risk! You also deserve to be happy.” Revan's eyes seemed convincing with a heavy smile that a second later he was flattering.
“Ya. I'm shocked. I'm surprised because of you.” Revan looked at Akira confused by what he meant.
“Because I said it?”
“Jawab me…! What about you? Didn't you also sacrifice your happiness for others?” revan's eyes were round in disbelief. He knew? Not likely. No one knew about her and Maura other than the two of them. Others only know if they are very close friends. Even Daylan was most likely unconscious and unaware of it. Akira can't possibly know... “How can you say something that you yourself can't do?” a caring smile amidst the pain that came out of nowhere when he saw Akira made Revan instantly bowed, smiling reluctantly as if trying to say it was not true, but also an admiration.
“It was a very long time ago.. long before I..”.
“Are you strong enough to hold everything back when you're even now like this just to answer the question you just said it's been a long time?” revan's heavy speech was cut off asked Akira who was so stifling. Revan raised his head looking at Akira with a painful smile that he smeared on his lips. He can no longer lie.
“You are quite sharp... it hurts..”.
“Why did you suddenly say that to me after you asked me to go back and pick Daylan? I know your expression back then was sincere. You're really worried about Daylan. Then, why are you suddenly asking me to change like this?”
“Isn't that clear…? It hurts so much... It hurts so much and I don't want you to feel it..” tess. A single tear fell from Revan's pellet jerking Akira. “I can't be greedy to get both of our happiness together. And when making a choice between my happiness and his happiness, how can I remain selfish to maintain my happiness and destroy his happiness? At least he can be happy with his choice, after all he loves her.”.
Hhh. Akira sighed for a moment before his tears suddenly burst out. His hands closed up shut his mouth. Stuffy. “I'm sorry to ask... I know, both are heavy for you.. and whichever choice I take, in the end you will also face hurt..”.
“Hhh... I am not that heroic![1]I couldn't even save one of them.”.
“I'm sorry..!”
“This is not your fault.. After all, you are too exaggerated to say it like that.”.
“But...my decision will impact you, whichever one I choose... and I have no choice to save you from that wound.”.
“What do you mean? That is not true at all.. I do not have the right to feel hurt.” Akira's eyes suddenly widened as if the wound in his heart was widening along with the wound that is currently trying to be covered by a figure in front of him. He stared at Revan who was trying to keep a heavy smile on his lips. His lips moved slowly.
“You....really as loud as a coral..” said Akira then with a smile that he tried to carve on his lips. “...but, you definitely know better than anyone here, that even if you don't deserve to feel hurt, you still get hurt, don't you?”
“Hhh... This is the first time someone like this has been to me... What exactly makes you so sure that I will get hurt because of your decision?”.
Akira's eyes widened again staring at the figure before him who was trying his best to appear calm and compose. Finally he asked the reason as if he really did not understand. Should he answer Revan's plain question? The innocence that he might have seemed was only to hear an answer from Akira
the truth was clear in his mind. However, even if he had already noticed it, why would he still ask her? Wouldn't hearing that would make him hurt more?
Revan smiled convincingly. “You don't have to worry about my feelings or anything. Just be honest and tell me what really makes you that persistent that I will get hurt!” Akira bit his lips slowly holding back his empathy. His lips began to lift open to speak.
“Because either I choose Daylan or Daniel, you will be affected.”.
“Yes, I know that. But, try to say more clearly, what do you think will make me hurt!” this time Revan's face seemed a little more relaxed.
“If I choose Daniel, then Daylan will get hurt. And Daylan is a good friend who is important to you, seeing him hurt and destroyed will also hurt you.”.
“Yes, you're right. Then?”
“Then if I choose Daylan, then Daniel will be hurt. And since he's hurt and no longer has a relationship with women, then I'll open up an opportunity for the person you like to get back closer to him and maybe end up having a serious relationship with Daniel. And that way, wouldn't you be ruined too?” Revan tilted his head to the right looking at Akira frowning.
“Hah? What do you mean by giving my loved one a chance to get back close to Daniel?”
Akira's eyes turned wide. He doesn't understand either?! akira's hand was breaking through the reflex table. “You don't have to hide it from me anymore! I know everything. You like Tara, right?!” revan's mouth gaped at the words he had just heard.
“Ta-ra?” revan repeated convincing that he heard was true.
“Yes. You like Tara, right?!” akira replied with a confident question.
“Hhh...” thin smile starts Revan's lips. “You said I like Tara…?! Haa...ha.. ha... where did you come to such a conclusion?!” revan's laughter echoed in the restaurant. Make all the eyes of visitors are on them. And make Akira more confused do not understand why Revan just laughed like that.
Ah, I guess he really knows what happened! How could he think I liked Tara? Though I feel a little relieved because this secret I no longer hold alone. Ah, this is so funny! Revan was laughing.
“Hey, are you crazy?! Stop laughing like crazy! People see us!” Akira reprimands Revan. Revan looked at Akira while holding back his laughter. He stabilized his emotions and allowed his seat to return to its normal state.
“Sorry.. I'm just surprised you can think like that.”.
“How can you laugh like that? Don't you really like Tara?
“No. I've never had such feelings for Tara. At all. But, I admit she is beautiful and has her own charm that is able to attract many men around her. I don't know how many people he rejected. How futile...!”
“Hah…?! Are you kidding me?! You looked sad and..”.
“What makes you think that I like it?”
“Eh…? I.. it.. you seemed to care and love her at that time.”.
“Ya at that time. Anyway at that time!”
“Ah, as I hugged her!?” akira's eyeballs spin looking for a gap to run from the question that will make Revan realize that he has heard about his conversation with Tara. “So you know about Tara and Daniel. And that's why you were acting weird when you got the call and saw it, right?”
“Ah, the.”.
“You're right. I might love him, but not as a lover or anything like that. I just know that what he feels is very painful..”.
“I can't believe..”
“You feel bad for Tara after knowing her one-sided love for Daniel for so many years?” Akira fell silent. Slowly but surely his head bowed without an answer. Revan, who is a womanizer, knows the meaning of the behavior of the girl in front of him without the need to ask. He did not continue his curiosity. Perhaps silence and waiting are the best things he is currently capable of. He only looked at the figure of Akira who was still bowed before him. Her eyes are red with tears. This girl is really something! I think now I know why Daylan fell in love with Akira and left Maura. Hhh. Revan smiled. “You don't have to hold it. If your chest feels tight and wants to scream and roar cry over something, then let it go. It's not a bad thing to admit that you're hurt.” is what he wants to say.
to Akira. Yet…
“I was always curious..” said Akira suddenly before Revan had time to say his sentence. “. I've always wanted to know why a girl like her doesn't have a boyfriend. That's why he's so different from me and I'm sure there are a lot of guys who like him. I always want to know why, but finding the person he loves is not something that happens every day.I.
he who indirectly introduced and gave the opportunity to me and Daniel Oppa. I think. I don't think Tara has any feelings for him. How can he…” Akira's long expression came to a standstill his cry that instantly burst out at the end of his eyes and snarled him. Hurts.
“That's not your fault.I guess almost everyone who's in his position will do the same, even myself. After your loved one threw you out without even expressing your feelings that have been buried for years, and was removed from his side only because his assumptions were somehow numbered how you felt, he said, meeting him will remind you again of the wound, how much you do not want it. Therefore, maybe seeing him happy and fine from a distance will be better.”.
“But, she seemed fine and very cheerful when introducing me and Daniel.”.
“Hhh... it's not like Daniel hates him. He just told Tara to stop his pretty clear attitude in her eyes without needing any other explanation and expression from her. In other words Daniel asked her to stop liking him because she liked another girl. And after hiding her feelings
years from Daniel and everyone, although Daniel was aware of it, to hide it for a few minutes in front of you is not a difficult thing to do.
“What..?” Akira recalled Daniel's expression that he had liked her a few years before their meeting at his home. Could it be the girl he likes? “Not...Hiding it with a smile like that would be more painful.?”.
“It's not like he has any other options. Sometimes I am also inexhaustible, after even being removed either consciously or unconsciously by his loved ones, how could he prefer to re-hurt himself rather than the figure who broke his heart?” tanya said that Revan made Akira speechless. At that moment he felt his heart ache. “Maybe that's the reason why I seem to hug her full of affection.. because I feel...we are so similar..”.
“M-you mean?”
“We experienced a very similar incident. And if I'm the one who's this wounded, what about him? I was always curious about that..he was too good to hurt.” Akira raised his puffy face staring at Revan half- dumbstruck.
“Your words..it sounds like you do have feelings for her. You're worried about him, aren't you?”
“Yes, I'm worried. I'm afraid she can't or won't fall in love again after feeling the pain of loving someone.” Akira's eyes widened again. Concerns about it also roiled his head. “But, what does it have to worry about liking it?” tanya Revan again relaxes Akira.
“You don't know? Worry is one of the most visible evidence when a man loves a woman, or at least likes her. And when you say you're worried about her, it's actually not much different than you say you love her.”
“Really? Then if I was worried that Daylan would come back to hurt you and you would get hurt again because of it, does that mean I love you?” Akira gasped without a word. Revan smiles. “Maybe it's true that worry is one of the strongest indications of love. But different intensities of worry have different meanings. Besides, how can I say that I love her when I want a woman other than her?”
“Revan..”.
“You don't have to think about my problems! Now you need to focus more on yourself. Look Akira, you might feel guilty for Tara. But, everything that happened between Tara and Daniel happened before you got into their lives, it wasn't your fault. And now the most important thing for you to do is decide. Decide where you're going to dock. And once you make that decision, there's no turning back. You have to take responsibility for your choice until the end, you can't take back your decision whatever it is. Understand?”
“Hmm. I know it..”
“I know it's hard, and maybe I don't have the right to talk here, but Ra...” Revan gave a long pause in his sentence. “…
