The state of the mansion felt very awkward, after Richard was honest about his feelings. Even Christy chose to lock herself in the room. He could not face Richard.
Not only Christy, but Michel also chose not to meet with Richard. They are confused by the current situation.
What about Vira? The girl had no news at all. Is Richard trying to find her? The answer is no!.
I don't know what the man thought, he just stayed in the mansion. It was as if silence could solve the problem.
"Richard" called Wijaya who had just returned from the office.
Richard exhaled in a frenzy, then approached Vijaya. He felt bad to look Christy's real parents in the eye.
"Sit down, daddy wants to talk" said Wijaya. They sat in the family room.
Wijaya was confused what else to say, he was very confused by everything that happened. But he couldn't stay silent, as his family became so awkward like this.
"Richard...." Wijaya was silent for a moment. He grabbed Richard's hand, then clasped it very tightly.
"You loved Chris all this time, but only loved in silence. What daddy can know.... Is your heart hurting, son?" wijaya's question made Richard speechless.
Somehow his heart felt tight when he heard Wijaya's question. That question Richard wanted to hear. But no one ever asked.
"I can be honest?" Richard dared to speak. He still looked down, trying to endure the pain in his heart. Then he lifted his head, looking at Wijaya's eyes. "My heart hurts" he continued.
Wijaya could see the destruction in Richard's eyes. It was the first time he had seen Richard like this. Richard who is usually seen is very cold, even impressed flat.
"Before Raymond died, he sent this family to daddy. He said that this family meant a lot to him. Especially you Richard" Wijaya said with a faint smile.
"Daddy doesn't want to defend anyone here. But daddy just wants you to understand. Your sister is already married, and you also have a lover" he continued.
Richard understood Wijaya's intentions, but he was also confused by his own feelings.
"I shouldn't have gone this far. Everything was destroyed" Richard looked down again, he did not dare to raise his head.
"It's best to ask Chris to talk. You two have to solve all this" said Wijaya.
Just now they were talking about Christy, she suddenly came down. They looked at each other, with no one to say hello.
"Take your sister talk" whispered Wijaya, and she left. Make room for both of them.
Richard ventured to approach Christy. They were just staring at each other, no one wanted to start a conversation. From the side door of the mansion, Michel was silent there.
He wanted to get to them, but he didn't. Michel wanted to give them time to speak with four eyes.
"I hope, this time I don't have to give up again" Michel said.
Christy felt devastated when she saw Richard's gaze. The man who had been looking after her, taught her many things, gave her everything she wanted. He loved her, and he didn't know it.
Christy had been hurting Richard all along. He feels guilty.
Christy suddenly hit Richard's chest many times, letting his anger disappear on its own.
"Why never say? Why just shut up? Why hurt yourself? Why?" Christy finally opened her voice.
Richard let Christy hit his chest, at least it could make his sister calmer.
"13 years old bang.....Was that long you loved me?" Christy asked again.
"The "wrong thing. Your feelings should not grow for you. Sorry" Richard looked down. He was too afraid to raise his head respectfully.
"So long ago my brother always helped me to solve love problems. My brother helped me to unite with the man I love. While my own brother.... My brother loves me too" said Christy.
"Sorry princess" that's all Richard keeps saying. He was confused what else to say.
"I used to be desperate to convince myself that I was just his brother. I'm dying not to cultivate feelings between us, because we're just brothers. The brother who always says it, we're just brothers!" christy said.
Christy always remembered what Richard said. They are just brothers, that's all!. Even Christy tried to shake off her feelings for Richard.
"Which girl will not fall in love, in the man who is always there for her. Always take care of him, give him what he wants, even sacrifice his life. Everyone would fall in love if it were like that. I mean me" he continued.
Richard kept his head down, condemning his own folly. To love in silence is wrong. Wrong big!.
"I used to have feelings for my brother. But I thought, brother just thinks of me as a sister. So I threw away hope for my brother. Until I finally met Aya" Christy said back to talking.
"The wrong thing, princess. You just stay quiet when you have feelings for you. If only my brother had been honest, everything would not have been this broken" Richard said.
"Abang was honest. Now it's time to be honest. Opening up my true self in front of everyone" Christy said to Richard's surprise.
"No princess!! They're gonna hate you" Richard disagreed with Christy's words just now.
"I'm tired like this. I will continue to do what I planned from the beginning. But I will do it very clearly, in front of everyone" Christy said.
"I don't want to linger. There's a little angel's life I have to take care of" Christy grabbed Richard's hand, then pointed it at his still flat belly.
"Little angel?" Richard asked. He did not understand what his sister meant.
"A part of me and Michel have become one now. There's a little angel's life in there" Christy said, making Richard smile.
Christy's pregnant with a baby now. Michel who heard it was surprised, he felt very happy. Even Michel was unknowingly crying, his happiness was immense.
Richard stroked Christy's stomach, he also felt happy at this moment. Richard kissed Christy's forehead, and that was the last time.
"Take him. Brother's nephew should be able to see this world" Richard smiled happily.
"Abang should think about it again. Think well, who is the brother who loves at the moment" said Christy.
Christy feels that Richard loves Vira, but she only doubts her own feelings. Richard could not describe how he felt.
"Abang should think about it. You can't regret it later" he continued.
"Abang already loved her, but brother was unconscious" Christy stroked Richard's shoulder. Then he went from there.
Richard could only be silent at Christy's words. He does love Vira, but somehow he always wants to reject his own feelings.
"Vira, I'm sorry.... Sorry for hurting you" Richard said.

It was late in the afternoon, in a house there was a girl sitting pensively.
He was confused as to how now, wanting to survive but his heart was already broken. The girl was Vira, since that time she no longer met Richard.
Vira, who was about to hit his chest again, stopped immediately when a man was holding his hand.
"Love can, but don't be so cute!" said the man. The other one is Faris.
"Accomplish here? Richard asked for it? Mending lo go" Vira drove Faris away, she was about to enter but Faris held her back.
"Gue's not here because of Richard. But because of lo!" sternly Faris stared fixedly at Vira's eyes. His hand grip was even very soft, there was no coercion at all.
Vira finally relented, he sat back down as did Faris. They were both silent, no one started the conversation at all.
Vira was busy with her thoughts, and the confused Faris had to say what.
"Lo's okay?" Faris finally let out a sound, making Vira glance at him for a moment.
"If I say, I'm fine.....Lo believe?" Vira asked again. This time Faris was silent. Letting Vira take out everything she wanted to say.
"Since that time, I kept hoping Richard would come to me" Vira began to speak, trying to endure the pain in her chest. "Gue keeps believing in me, that Richard loves me. But I did not realize, if it hurt myself" he continued lirih.
"Gue feels really good. When I try to build a good relationship. It hurt me" this time Vira looked at Faris, letting the man see her weak side.
Whether there was a push from nowhere, Faris suddenly hugged Vira. The girl suddenly sobbed, Faris did the right thing. Right now Vira really needs a hug, at least it can make her calmer.
Vira was crying in Faris' arms. As for Faris, he just kept silent letting Vira cry as much as possible.
The girl squeezed firmly into the clothes Faris was wearing, her heart was in great pain.
Faris gently stroked Vira's head, making the girl feel very comfortable. Seeing Vira like this, made her sad. Whether there was anything to his feelings, he did not like to see Vira cry.
"Udah, you can get sick if you gini" Faris released her embrace, then wiped away Vira's tears.
"I'm sorry....Your clothes" said Vira while pointing at Faris's clothes that were wet because of tears and snot.
"Gue sorryin, just so you stop crying" Faris smiled as she scrambled Vira's hair.
For some reason Vira smiled, at least her heart felt a little calmer now.
"What is your plan now? Can I help you talk to Richard?" faris asked, making Vira pause for a moment.
"Gue wants to go" Vira said briefly. Faris looked at him confused, he did not understand what Vira said.
"Go? But where to?".
"Faraway. A place where Richard could not find me" Vira said very confident in his decision this time.
"Richard is not an ordinary person, he can definitely find you. Want you to go to the corners of the world though" said Faris remembering what kind of person Richard.
"Lo can you help me? I beg you" Vira looked at Faris, hoping that the man would help her.
"Gue might be able to help you, but I do not promise that Richard will be able to meet you" said Faris made Vira nod.
Vira went back into silence, this time Faris looked at her for quite a while. Somehow he did not want to take his eyes off Vira, the girl became the most beautiful object this time.
"Gue will take care of you".
"Hmm? You just talked?" vira asked when she heard Faris' very small voice.
"No" replied Faris briefly.

Right now everyone in the mansion was feeling extremely happy, upon hearing the good news from Michel. The man told me that Christy was pregnant.
Be happy? That's for sure. Christy only smiled faintly, as everyone congratulated her.
"It will certainly be very exciting, if your child has been born" said Fikra while stroking Fara's stomach is getting bigger.
"Yes, soon Tasya lahiran. The Fara Canal is the same Chris is also coming" said the King who felt very happy.
"Ja, is Sasa not going to get pregnant too?" Revano asked innocently, making everyone look at him.
"Rev, deketin' here" the King smiled at Revano, leaving the man confused.
"What do you want?" ask Revano.
"You want me to sew your mouth! By the way don't like ngasal. If I'm married, then I'm pregnant with someone's child" said the King, then he threw a sofa cushion on Revano.
They were all joking, and Christy was silent. They kept paying attention to Christy's attitude, something was strange about her today.
"Chris" Michel calls him, making Christy wake up from her daydream.
"Are you okay?" Michel asked, and he had been watching his wife since.
Christy simply nodded, then went back into silence. Richard, who had been standing on the stairs since, could only breathe out in anger.
Somehow his heart just kept feeling restless, but he did not know what the cause was. Christy's plan to get things done is completely unanimous.
This time Christy really wanted it all done. He finally has to finish it. Enough of these lies. He was tired like this too.
"Cel, I went to the room first" said Christy, then she left.
They just looked at Christy's attitude. Michel ran to his wife. He closed the door and sat down next to Christy.
"You want a story hmm?" michel asked very gently.
Christy remained silent and rested her head on Michel's shoulder. He even grabbed Michel's hand, then grasped it very tightly.
"I want to spend more time with you. We lost 3 years. Want to try making good memories again with you?" christy's asking made Michel smile.
"May, I will too. Spend time as a high school kid" said Michel who smiled happily.
Michel kissed Christy on the forehead, looked at her and smiled.
"I've fought so far. So I beg you not to stay with me" said Michel Lirih.
They both went back to silence. They just look at each other. Letting that gaze tell how broken their hearts are at the moment.
"I won't leave you. We have him now" said Christy, stroking her flat stomach.
"Thank you" said Michel briefly. Then kiss Christy's lips.
