"Hello, Brother Dania!"greet the Light with a weak voice.
"Hello, Light. What's with your voice? are you sick?" Dania listened to his attention.
"No, Brother. Just a little dizzy," said the Light, not telling his true condition.
"Oh, surely because of yesterday that you felt like you weren't considered by Oma Melinda huh?" Dania started to provoke.
"Emm, no, brother. I'm not feeling well, though," denied the Light. "Why call me, brother? is there anything important?" keep the light back, switch the conversation.
Dania did not answer. But the Light heard clearly that the woman at the other end was breathing quite loudly.
"Emm, are you alone there or is Gilang beside you?"
"Mas Gilang went to deliver Oma to opa's tomb, brother. What's the matter? is there any need with the Gilang mas?" sahut Light with eyebrows that rise slightly upwards, suspicious.
"Eh, N-No, Aya. I just wanted to tell you something, and I didn't want Gilang beside you, because what I want to say is very important for you to know,"
The light frowned, feeling that something was suspicious. However, the woman brushed off her suspicions because her curiosity was greater than her sense of suspicion.
"What would you say?"
"Emm, how is it? actually I'm hard enough to tell you, because you probably won't believe it, but somehow I think that if I don't say it, I feel sorry for you" said Dania, ambiguously.
"Sister, please don't beat around the bush! Don't make me curious!" the curiosity of the Light is now really very big.
"alright. But honestly, I didn't mean anything. I purely just want you to know a truth hidden by Gilang and his family," said Dania who increasingly makes Light more curious.
"The hidden truth? she mean?
Sounding from the end there, a breath of Dania, who seemed to feel heavy to reveal what she wanted to reveal to the Light.
"Look, Aya. In the past, I felt that your marriage was very awkward because it was too fast. But I really didn't find a reason for the marriage of the two of you. But lately, I feel that the two of you really love each other because of Gilang's attitude that cares for you. But it turns out that what I think is wrong, Gilang married you only because of return, not because of love" said Dania, with a voice that sounded soft.
"Reply? hehehe that's not true brother. Gilang and I got married because they were destined to fight. There was a reason behind our previous marriage. However, as time went on, the two of us were able to accept each other" said Light, starting to feel that Dania was now trying to provoke him.
"Is that so? good then. But regarding that return, I am not lying at all. As for you and Gilang already accepting each other, I have no problem with that. I'm so glad to hear that. But, I'd like to ask, has he ever expressed his love for you?"
The light did not answer, because until now the man who had become her husband had never revealed that he loved her. But if for reasons of return, it also makes no sense at all, because he never felt he did something good before meeting Gilang.
"Why are you quiet, Aya? has Gilang really never expressed his love for you? I'm sure it must be your answer 'not yet' right? that's because I know Gilang's only love for Reyna, even I know that Oma Melinda also really wanted Reyna to be Gilang's wife, but because of the favor earlier, they were forced to throw away that desire. Just so you know, Reyna knows about it too. They've all been conspiring behind your back, Aya,"
"Stop, Brother Dania! from earlier, I spoke back, return the favor. Don't try to provoke me, because I won't be affected. Why do they return the favor, while I and my family meet on my first day of work and I buy to do good things that require return. It really doesn't make any sense. That's right, Gilang asked me to marry him, so that she doesn't marry you and she's right to offer that I accept she'll be a regular donor at the orphanage where I grew up and control my parents' sold house,"
"Listen to the Light! you don't cut my conversation! I haven't finished talking at all. Just so you know, it's just Gilang's alibi, so you don't suspect why he suddenly asked you to marry him. Just so you know, without getting married, he can actually become a donor in the parlor and even buy back your parents' house, because of his large debt. But if he suddenly did that for no reason, you must be suspicious right? You must have felt that what she did was strange, because you had just worked in that family," Dania said impassively and sounded very reassuring.
"Gilang is the boy your father saved during the mall fire that caused your father's death. They're looking into the orphanage. Gilang did not say honestly because he knew that you still consider the boy the cause of your father's death. So, he kept that secret so you wouldn't leave. Don't you know that she's been traumatized by the fire up until now?"
Like lightning in broad daylight, Light was completely shocked by Dania's speech. Flashbacks when Gilang was frightened while watching the fire scene instantly flashed in his mind.
"Don't try to lie to me! I won't believe it" Light still tries not to believe, though his little heart doesn't doubt Dania's story.
"I'm not lying to you, Aya. I only found out yesterday because I heard it myself. As soon as Oma Melinda asked you to leave, the three of them talked about you,"
The Flash back On.
Dania, who felt that Light was not considered by Oma Melinda, smiled cunningly and felt that it could be an opportunity to make Light go alone from the Maheswara family.
The woman, who was pretending to have changed, swung her legs and sat not far from the spot where Melinda, Jelita and Reyna were sitting. The woman began eavesdropping on the talk of the three women of different ages.
"It looks like Gilang has started to love, Light. You don't feel hurt, do you, Reyna?" Oma Melinda opened her voice.
Reyna smiled sweetly and shook her head. "Not at all, Oma. I would be a very happy person if Gilang really loved the Light" Reyna replied sincerely.
"Thank God! Oma now calmed down," Melinda returned Reyna's smile.
"But there's only one thing I'm really afraid of, ma'am. I fear the Light will be angry and leave if one day the Light knows that the real reason Gilang married her first, because the favor of his father Light first, because the favor of the Light first, who helped him out of the fire to make his father Light die," Jelita opened her voice, expressing her concern all along.
"Auntie don't worry too much about it. I'm sure if the two of them already love each other and have revealed their hearts before the truth is revealed, I'm sure what you're worried about won't happen. We pray for Gilang to be aware of his feelings and to express them to the light immediately. I'm sure that way, Light will feel not too sad and angry later," Reyna said trying to calm Jelita.
"Yes, hopefully, as soon as Gilang will express his feelings for the Light," concluded Jelita, hoping.
"Sadly, your hope will not be fulfilled, for there is I who will destroy your hope. That way, I'm sure that Gilang will fall. As long as you all know, I don't want Gilang anymore, all I want is its destruction. I would never be willing, if she could live happily," the inner Dania with the corners of her lips drawn slightly upwards formed a sly smile.
The Flash Back End
"Light, why are you silent? sorry I really didn't mean ...."
"It's okay, brother! I am very grateful to my brother. Actually, I have given the reason for papa's death because I promised the deceased papa not to blame the boy. Because I know it's a fireman's risk, but I regret, why are they all dishonest? why did this big family lie to me, even Reyna's sister whom I had considered her own did not tell me this truth either," Tears of Light began to drip down her cheeks.
"Oh, I'm sorry Light. This is exactly what I was afraid of, you got sad and angry at them. Don't be mad at them!" Dania was still trying to show that she was really not provoking the Light. Though at the end there, Dania was already cheering happily imagining Gilang being slumped.
"It's okay brother! brother take it easy, I will not be angry at this family. But I am very disappointed. Sis, it looks like I have to leave this house to calm down. I'll turn off the phone first,".
"Don't Light! don't let you go!" Dania was still trying to pretend to prevent, but deep down, that was what she wanted.
"No brother! my decision is unanimous!" The light decides the call unilaterally.
