Sometimes it takes no more words to explain everything. They then sank into their respective minds, just looked at each other, looked down and were stunned and then took another deep breath.
Their dinner was over, but their feelings were not over yet. Torture was painful, but the love they each felt was much more miserable.
Melia squeezed her own hand staring at the empty food tray on the table. He bowed without daring to look at Anderson.
While Anderson also did not have the courage to look at Melia anymore, he looked down regretting his actions. Condemning his actions was wrong. The memories are still painful. Guilt still lingers until when. Every now and then.Even Anderson still seemed to wipe away her tears.
"You should also rest ..." Suddenly Melia said that. Squeezing his own hand as it could not bear looking under Anderson's eyes which really already looked like a panda.
"After all, when have you not slept?"
Anderson flabbergasted.
Melia still notices him ...
"You think, after what happened ... I can sleep?"
Melia squeezed the edge of the blanket she was wearing. A few moments later he shook his head. Hurriedly Melia picked up the blanket and immediately went to sleep avoiding it.
"As far as you are ..."
Anderson could only observe Melia who had now closed her eyes and slept on her back. Pay attention to every detail of his breath that looks from behind and calm.
Seeing Melia who had started talking to him a little made Anderson's lips singed. It feels very warm. For years Anderson had been following him, lying that Anderson didn't know how his attitude had begun to thaw.
"I love you, Mel ..."
Melia. Whether it's just pretend or not.
But ...
There was nothing happiest here other than seeing Melia begin to accept it. In fact, the tears were dripping again even though Anderson was as strong as he could bear.
And when faintly Melia heard Anderson start crying again, she turned her head ...
But, just as Melia got up, Anderson had already gotten down on the bed and was hugging Melia from behind.
"What are you ..."
"Please like this for a minute."
And Anderson locked onto Melia to be unable to move anymore from her side. Hugged her from behind and drowned her head at the nape of Melia's back.
"Take me off."
"Thank you,"
Melia tried to get away from him, but once she saw Anderson's eyes were then closed and heard regular snoring, making Melia cancel what she wanted to do.
Anderson asleep ...
***
The morning was almost there, and they kept hugging. Somehow at first when Melia opened her eyes, what she saw first was Anderson, who was still asleep, sleeping in an embrace and still sounding a soft snore that somehow felt very soothing.
The flashbacks of the past began to go hand in hand on his head. Moments where life is so easy and goes without problems.
In the past, Melia thought she had a lot of luck. But it turns out he was wrong, Anderson is the person who has been making things easier, intervening in everything in his life. Go hand in hand .. without Melia ever knowing.
Unknowingly, Melia began to grab onto that face, rubbing every inch of that part of the face and looking back at it closely.
Over the years, this man suffered greatly. The face made Melia want to touch her again.
But a second later, Melia pulled that hand ...
His mind split ...
What does he do include betraying his own parents ...? It made Melia close her eyes and her heart ached again as she began to think about how insolent she was.
Melia just doesn't know what to do ...
A little makes Melia again confronted with the facts by the painful reality.
"Why did you wake up but not wake me?"
Melia was startled as she looked up she had already seen Anderson open her eyes and looking at her nigh.
Melia hurriedly got up, but Anderson suddenly pulled her hand until Melia fell into her arms.
"Take me off,"
Anderson shook his head and hugged him tightly.
In her arms Melia could feel Anderson's heart beating so fast. The hold was too tight for Melia to really feel it.
"Take me off, it's really claustrophobic."
Anderson shakes. "A little while ..."
Melia took a breath.
Reality ... Anderson lied to Melia, Anderson hugged her for so long.
"I love you no matter how many times I say that."
Melia swallowed her saliva. He wanted to say it too, but it was all stuck. This inner war is always painful.
"Can you take me home now?"
Hearing that, it suddenly made Anderson's eyes widen again. Anderson took off his embrace and looked at Melia deeply. Tears that suddenly flowed in the corner of Melia's eyes made Anderson immediately throw Melia into the bed, overpowering Melia until Melia was below her.
Anderson thinks ... Melia forgave him.
"Melia .. tell me, why do you keep saying that?"
Melia did not answer. He turned his eyes away from Anderson.
"Do you love me no more?"
Melia squeezed her own hand.
"Tell me what I have to do so you can be absolutely sure of me. I'll do everything so you can forgive me."
"I told you I forgive you."
"Then ...?"
The tears were shed again.
"Tell me what really bothered your mind."
"I'm just afraid, if I'm with you, it'll make me a traitor."
And Anderson knew what Melia was saying.
"Please don't say that." Anderson again locked both of Melia's hands on it.
"Let me prove to your parents that I can take care of you. I can't prove it to you now, but I can prove it later that I'll never hurt you until the end
I'll really prove it so your parents up there can forgive me too."
"..."
"Marry me, Melia."
Melia's eyes widened upon hearing Anderson say that.
"Please don't say those things again because you know I can't live without you."
The tears flowed again.
"I love you, Mel. I could have sworn that I would make you the happiest person on earth so that your parents knew that I would be the most responsible person and let you go for me."
Anderson wiped those tears.
"You know I can't break up with you. In fact, when you're not with you when you run away, it feels like you really want to die."
"..."
"Melia?"
Melia took a deep breath withstanding the painful pain. Anderson's earnest remark really made Melia suffocate. When not with Anderson, Melia also felt the same way.
"Married to me."
And in the end Melia's defense collapsed as well. Melia then nodded, accepted the proposal and agreed to Anderson's request to marry her.
Seeing that, Anderson's feelings puffed up. There was nothing happiest apart from this, Melia's acceptance was everything to Anderson.
Anderson was crying with Melia. They hugged, cried, and let go of all their feelings.
"I love you, very ..."
"I love you too."
And the hug came back tightly, to the point that they were reluctant to let go.
