Forced Marriage Alea
PPA 75# Heartbroken

"Gue first well Al," said Vika as she passed from her desk beside Alea as the clock showed at five o'clock in the evening.

Not only Vika's voice filled the air in the Business Analys division room. The noise happens every hour of the office. Although they are not too familiar with each other personally, but the compactness of the team in the Business Analytics division is quite a role model for other divisions in BeTrust. One by one chanted farewells as the end of the day, before walking cheerfully back to his palace.

While Alea was still playing around with her phone while waiting for a short message from Ravka. After spending lunch with Ravka, her husband said that today they will go home together. Be he just compartmentalized his cell phone while waiting, when he only lived alone in the workspace of the Business Analys division.

"Al, can we talk?" greeting the voice that sounded softly in Alea's ears.

"Sister Farash?!" said Alea while looking at the man in front of him who looked to reduce the sadness on the look on his face. "What are you talking about, brother?" ask Alea later.

Farash was seen taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly before he let out a sound through his trembling lips.

"What rumors do I hear?" the young man's voice sounded heavy as he asked.

"Gossip? what gossip?" Alea asked back.

"That .... " Farash sighed before continuing the voice that seemed to be stuck in his throat.

I don't know what makes it so hard to ask. Whether the question itself was enough to shock him, or because he was not ready with the answer that would be given by the girl who became his dream.

"Hmmm .."." Alea muttered waiting for Farash to voice his voice. Alea pulled both of her eyebrows, seeing the real nervousness seen from the young man's face before her at this moment. The young man who once filled his heart, but tried he was agile. Now he could see the young man with another look, a gaze with the heartfelt feelings of a sister towards his brother.

"That .... Are you married?" tanya Farash finally managed to escape her choked voice.

Alea's face instantly froze, he did not expect that soon the gossip would spread as he dared to acknowledge his status before co-workers. Although it cannot be denied, that this is quite helpful to tell the truth to Farash. He did not need to go through awkwardness and nervousness when he had to tell Farash the truth. He now lives to answer a simple question from the man he always acknowledged as his cousin's brother even though there was never a blood relation between them.

"Sorry Brother, if I let you down by covering up my status. But yes .... I am indeed married," Alea replied in relief after successfully telling Farash the truth.

"But why Al? why haven't you said anything to me all this time?" the man's eyes looked so hurt.

The feeling of heart-wrenching radiated from the dimming of her eyes, sent out a signal of pain in Alea's heart. He had once seen that face, a face so hurt that they both had to throw away the love that grew inside the chest. However, now the hurt feelings look doubled in the eye peluk. This is what makes Alea always stop telling the truth to Farash. He could not bear if he had to return to see with his own eyes, the man fell back. However, this is a reality that Farash must face sooner or later.

"Sorry Brother, I don't have enough courage to tell you the truth" Alea said, bowing her gaze.

"But why Al? Is it because you are like me? You love me too, don't you Al?" urged Farash to despair implied in his tone of voice.

"Sorry, but I've told you many times. My love for you is nothing more than the affection of a brother" Alea said without hesitation.

"But I really love you Al. Is there not a little bit of your love for me?" said Farash lunglai trying to struggle with a little bit of despair left behind.

"I love my husband, with all my heart," Alea said firmly.

"What should I do, so that you can understand what I feel for you? I am willing to do anything just for you. Can you understand it, just a little bit?" farash lirih.

"So please stop .. Stop acting like this. I beg of you, understand that our paths are different" Alea took a slow breath. Wiping a speck of water inundated at the corner of his eye. He could not see anyone so close to him for years falling in front of him. This man in front of him has been guarding and protecting him from the cruelty of uncle and aunt, so he had to sacrifice away from leaving. Now he's back when Alea's life is no longer the same.

"Our destiny is not to be together, perhaps God has prepared a much better woman for you" Alea continued, trying to make Farash understand.

"But Al .... " Farash drew near to Alea. He reached for the girl's arm. As fast as lightning Alea withdrew her hand so that it could not be touched by Farash.

Farash's heart grew increasingly sliced, finding the girl's rejection when he intended to reach her. He remembered all the girl's attitude first. How usually Alea was struggling spoiled on his arm. Speak with a soul-shaking voice. A closeness that never brings awkwardness. Or a gaze that never implies pity, but a deep longing. Everything intertwined in the eyes of Farash into a memory that reverberated in the head. However, Alea now did not even give the young man room to touch her even if it was just a fingernail.

"Quite Brother, the more reckless you are I will even find it hard to consider you my brother. I want us to be like before. Can be close together as a brother and sister. Like Kak Farash with Kania. We can still be together as brothers" Alea said.

Farash was only stunned to hear the words of the sweet girl he had loved for a long time. There were no more words he could express to reach Alea's heart. He lost the love he always cared for.

"May I hold you one last time? Maybe after this, I won't be able to get close to you anymore like I used to. I promise, I will try to throw away my love for you and turn it into love for you as a big brother,"

Alea looks doubtful. He used to embrace Farash as a brother. For a long time, he no longer wore a heart when he was near Farash. Because for a long time also the growing love he killed slowly and replaced it with feelings of affection as a brother. But at this moment, this man before him was intending to embrace her not as his sister. But farewell to the beloved woman, presenting doubt embedded in the chest. However, he also could not bear to refuse Farash's request.

"I don't allow it" a man's voice broke the silence created between Alea and Farash.

Alea gasped to realize her husband was standing right behind Farash. While Farash was glued to look at Ravka who looked wrathful. His face was filled with a dark aura that was ready to pounce.
