Tonight, as Nessa said to me this afternoon, she gave me time to ask what I wanted to ask.
Earlier, I asked Nessa to have dinner outside. But unfortunately, Nessa said she was so tired that she couldn't accept the dinner offer I was offering.
I felt a little strange with Nessa, she was getting longer and longer and farther from what I wanted. Nessa's not my wife anymore. He is like a stranger in my life.
"Ness, can I ask you something?" my words started our conversation.
Right now, we're in our room. After dinner, Nessa and I entered the room. As for Vanny, he's not out for dinner at all.
He simply asked his aunt to bring him food into the room.
I saw Nessa sitting on the couch not far from our bed. I really want to know something from Nessa. But I'm afraid Nessa will be mad at me and we'll fight again later. I, who was already a slave to this love, was sometimes very afraid of the anger that would make Nessa far away from me.
"Just ask what Lio wants to ask. I'll answer any questions Lio's asked tonight."
"Nessa, what do you mean you asked me to marry your sister Vanny? Do you have any hidden intentions with this marriage? I want you to be honest with me now, Ness," I said as I took a position beside her.
For a while, Nessa saw my face. He looked at my eyes meaningfully, but I did not know what the gaze meant.
"Mas Lio, don't be mad if I'm honest with you about this question you're asking me. At first, I had no intention of marrying you. But I realized, if I didn't marry you, then I wouldn't know who you are and how you really are. Tonight I'll be honest with you, I'm marrying you not on the basis of my love for you" Nessa said as she got up from her seat.
I'm surprised not to get stuck, with what Nessa said. All this time, I didn't know that Nessa didn't love me. Is it true that this woman in front of me has lived with me for a year?
I got up from my seat and walked over to Nessa, who was beside our window.
"Don't joke with me, Ness, we're not married for a month or two. We've been married for over a year, Nessa."
"Mas Lio, you want me to be honest, don't you? I've been honest with what you're asking, but why do you say I'm kidding. I'm not kidding Lio, I'm serious about what I say. I married you not out of love, but out of curiosity as to what your true nature is."
"Yes, that's my main goal. And my second goal is, to make you my sister's husband that I love the most. I know you're very good Mas Lio. You fit in perfectly with my sister Vanny. She is a gentle and loving woman. You two are very compatible. You won't feel hurt if you're together" Nessa said feelingly.
"Where do you know we fit in. And you won't know that we won't hurt each other. You don't know how we feel, Nessa. You're not in our position right now,"
"Mas Lio, I already know who you are. You can take care of my sister and you will definitely love my sister very much. For almost two years I have known you. I'm trying to understand your nature. I know, you and Vanny are a great fit. I trust, I won't let you and Vanny down with you guys having each other."
Nessa!"
Unknowingly, I yelled at Nessa so loudly. The reaction Nessa showed was very different to the one she usually had. He wasn't angry and didn't feel surprised when I snapped at him.
"Nessa, you think I'm fuckin' huh! You can make me an experiment for your sister. Your brother has the right to choose. Why are you so confident. Think what you choose is the best thing for your sister. After all, your sister would also want to choose her own husband that she wants," I said.
"Mas Lio, you know how Vanny fell and got hurt. He loved once, but he was hurt by the people he loved. He was afraid to fall in love again. And he decided not to be interested in any man. My brother has suffered so much as he has lived. You know what he's been through all this time. You know, how the road he took. I don't want my sister to suffer anymore, enough is enough of what she's been through in the past."
Nessa said so at length, I don't know what to say let alone one. I know all about Vanny who's so bad.
From childhood, he lost many people he loved. Starting from the grandmother he loved, the grandfather who loved him the most, the friend who was equally big with him, until after adulthood. He was betrayed by the girlfriend he loved so much. If you remember what Nessa said, I remember what I did to Vanny. I feel so guilty about Vanny.
"Mas Lio, I beg of you. Learn to love Vanny. Slow down, I'm sure you can love Vanny. I beg you Lio, help me, make Vanny happy" said Nessa kneeling before me.
I was shocked by what Nessa did. This woman was a very hard woman at first. But only for one foster sister, he was able to throw away the self-esteem that had been looking very high.
"Wake up Nessa, don't make me like this. You don't know about the heart, love can't be forced. You have to remember, love comes alone to whom it wants to go" I said, holding onto Nessa's shoulders.
"Nessa, is your foster sister very valuable to you. Why don't you look like you now."
"For Vanny's sake, I'd do anything. Just like Vanny can do anything for me. He was willing to share what he had just for me. Why can't I make up for what he gave me" Nessa said.
