There Will Be Rainbows After Rain

Episode 123

Irena accompanied Bryan to the airport, waiting together before Bryan boarded the plane. The two of them joined each other, never separated since leaving until arriving here.

"You'll have to let me know when you get there." Repeat Irena again.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Don't take it long." Further.

Bryan stared intently at Irena so deeply, "And upon arrival, I always wait for good news from you."

Irena nodded, "You don't be naughty there." His words ventured. It feels so shameful to have to be so possessive like that, but there must be times when fretting to have a lover as perfect as Bryan.

"I promise it won't be long." Reply Bryan.

"I can only be naughty with you." Bryan's Chuckle.

"Hem, Dika is still bothering you?" Ask.

"Yes, it's still the same as yesterday. Still busy calling. But I didn't pick it up, really." Irena convinced Bryan.

"Actually, I have some good news for you too. That's why I asked that." Evidently.

"In the near future the news will appear, you'll see what happened."

"News? Mean you?" Irena began to guess with answers that she might actually know.

It turns out that Bryan was right, Irena didn't have to do anything to avenge Dika and Rebecca. Slowly they get a reply on their own. Dika entangled in a legal case, because of corruption of investor funds. His house, car and all his personal assets are collateral, even his company is on the verge of collapse. While Rebecca was evicted from her apartment and she doesn't know where she is now.

Dika's life is now completely dark, all destroyed by his own actions.

"If you hadn't betrayed me, brother. Everything will be fine until now." The mind in the heart.

"Hows it? I'm right, aren't I?" Bryan's question surprised Irena.

An announcement that Bryan must immediately board the plane was heard. They seem unable to separate, even tighten their hands.

"I'm not going to ask you to stay, because someone has to tell your parents about our relationship." Irena convinces herself that Bryan is only gone for a while.

"I promise it won't be long. I'll be right back. I want to marry you soon." Bryan said as he stroked his woman's face.

Irena nodded. Both of them stood up, releasing each other with a heavy heart, even Irena was still faithfully ushering in to the last limit she could. Bryan hugged Irena before entering. "I love you so much, Ren."

Irena returned the hug and smiled, "I love you more." The reply.

The man pulled the suitcase further away from him. Irena could only give a smile whenever Bryan turned to her.

"IRENA, I'M WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER!" Shouted Bryan suddenly.

It was not only Irena who turned her head, even everyone who was there. Irena's face immediately flushed red, Bryan's screams extremely loud. He put an index finger to his lips so that the man would stop acting like a child.

"I LOVE YOU, SHIRENA INDIRA!" Shouted Bryan again.

Irene covered her face, she could see that everyone was smiling. "You really have no shame, Bryan!" Mumbled slowly.

While at the end of there, Bryan just smiled casually.

*****

Bryan's return to Germany was warmly welcomed full of happiness by his parents. He had not come home long enough, so the longing was finally paid off.

"You're just as healthy as he is." Mama Rita rubbed her son's arm gently.

"Well, skinny is so healthy, Ma." William, Papa Bryan commented.

"Pa, your child's weight is ideal this loh. You keep his diet and exercise. You're like papa, you never take care of it." Rita pouting.

"Why isn't Irena coming, Bryan?" Ask Rita. Because Rita already knows the closeness between Bryan and Irena.

"Who is that? Your assistant?" Ask William.

"Actually ... There's something I want to tell Mama and Papa." Bryan didn't want to put it off, so there was no more burden.

"What, Bryan?" The faces of his parents became serious.

"I hope, after hearing this. Papa and Mama don't get mad."

"You scared Mama, Bryan." Rita squeezes her son's hand stronger.

"Say Bryan, don't make us curious." William forced the impatient.

Everyone looked at the woman, then returned the greetings with hospitality.

"Well, here comes our long-awaited guest." William.

"Well, I don't feel good about it, Om." Vanesha laughs. He glanced at Bryan and smiled, "Hi, Bryan. When back?" Ask pleasantries.

"Just now." Bryan returned the smile as it was. There was a bit of awkwardness between them, since they had not met for quite a while. When they were kids, they were so familiar.

"You guys talk first. Papa's got business with Mama for a minute." William stepped aside as if to pave the way for the two of them.

"But, Pa. What business is it?" Mama Rita wonder.

William pulled his wife's hand to go with him, "There's a loh, Ma. Papa said it to Mama. Mom forgot about it."

"Are you alone, Nesh?" Bryan asked, allowing Vanesha to sit down.

"Yes. How long are you planning on here?" Ask back.

"Still don't know." Bryan looked at Vanesha. "I hear you're a famous designer now, right?" Ask Bryan.

"Hehe, yes Bryan. Thank God my dream has finally been slowly achieved."

"You've always been smart, so no wonder." Whether it was praise or just plain talk, it seemed to have a huge effect on Vanesha's current expression.

"You remember me, Bryan." Vanesha looked timid.

"I can't possibly forget the same lizard who always sticks to where I go." Bryan Canda.

Vanesha sighed, "If only you hadn't been to Indonesia, it's possible that our relationship would have continued. Stick you everywhere."

Bryan could feel a different meaning from Vanesha's words. Although all of this has a point as well. "By the way how are you with your Papa? You plan to move to Indonesia, so what?" Ask to divert the conversation.

"Oh, yes. After thinking for a long time, I agreed not to move. This country has meaning for me and all of us. That's why, I also choose to make a career here."

"Great you." Compliment Bryan.

"Basically we're going back to the most comfortable place, Bryan. Even though I will live in Indonesia, my heart will remain. Unfortunately when I chose here, it seemed like it was too late."

Bryan just smiled in response to all that. Vanesha blatantly expressed his feelings, and it made Bryan feel even more awkward.

*****

"Whose phone call was the same? Irena?" Mama Rita whispered.

"Hem, yes Ma." Answer Bryan.

Bryan pulled Mama's hand over to sit down and talk at the dinner table before dinner started, "Ma, there's actually something I want to say to Mama and Papa. But I'm not sure if Papa can take it."

"What's wrong? Tell me first with Mama." Rita asked in a whispering voice as quietly as possible.

"When Irena was in trouble yesterday, it was Bryan who helped her get through it. Whether it is material, moral or support. That's all Bryan did, because Mama knew for herself that Bryan loved her so much, Ma."

"Mama expected it. You really love her?"

For a moment Bryan fell silent then said, "Of course, Ma. She was Bryan's first and last love. Mom knows, too, doesn't she? This time Bryan did not want to lose Irena again Ma, because he had to follow Papa's will."

Rita looks anxious, "Bryan, did you make Irena and her husband ..."

Bryan had expected that there would be prejudice for his help, "No, Ma. Really am. Bryan was not the cause of the destruction of Irena and her husband's household. As you know, her husband cheated on her, it's happened a few times."

"Bryan only ... Just come at the right time. Maybe it's God's way for us to be together again, Ma." Bryan kept trying to convince his mother.

"Mama always believed in you, but Papa you. I'm not sure, Bryan. Carn ...." Rita is starting to look troubled.

"You better tell Papa, Bryan. Because Papa is planning to match you with Vanesha. Mama also just found out earlier, when Vanesha came to the house." Evidently.

"What???" Bryan shakes.
