I Love the Light
Bayu Confession

"She can't go on the road with you, because she has an appointment with me!" the returnee stood beside Grizelle.

Grizelle turned to Bayu with a frown.

"Sir Bayu, since when do we ...."

"Have you forgotten that yesterday we were planning to go tomorrow?" Bayu rolled his eyes, making Grizelle blush in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Darell felt his heart like it was pierced by a knife looking at the scene in front of him. However, the man was still trying to act ordinary.

"Oh, like that? all right then. Oh yeah, I go there first!" Darell pointed towards the group of youths his age.

"Please, Rell! oh yes, again sorry yes, if I can not fulfill your invitation," Grizelle said with a face look felt bad.

Darell forced his lips to smile, showing that he was fine.

"No problem, Zell. Just relax! I'm going there, come on!" Darell left with a shaky pace leaving Grizelle and Bayu.

After Darell's death, a sudden awkwardness was created between Grizelle and Bayu.

"Haish, why the hell was I back here? what am I gonna say try?" Bayu cursed his attitude which he considered stupid.

"Why is Bayu silent? Do you really want to take me tomorrow?" inner Grizelle, waiting for Bayu to open his voice.

"Emm, I'm going to Gilang first! I want to eat first," said Bayu, turning his body and then stepping his feet to avoid Grizelle.

"So, so where are we going tomorrow?" Grizelle ventured to ask immediately before the man she loved, completely moved away.

Hearing Grizelle's question, made Bayu stop his steps and exhale with great shock. Then the man turned around and put the plate he had in his hand on the table.

"Zell, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it! I'm just helping you reject Darell's invitation, because I see you as having trouble making a choice, willing or refusing his invitation" Bayu said with great care.

Meanwhile, Grizelle instantly fell silent. The happiness that had come to his heart crashed instantly with the reality that he had just heard from Bayu's mouth. The girl's eyes, instantly dewy held back tears.

"Oh, like that? I don't really need help, brother. But, I am very grateful for the initiative of the brother, although it ended up painful. Better, you do not need to take the initiative earlier, because the honesty of you just now, more painful than the rejection of your previous brother. Brother love me high expectations first, then brother just throw it away. It hurts a lot, sister," Grizelle said at length. The granules of clear liquid that he had been trying to hold finally managed to escape, to wet his white cheeks.

Meanwhile, Bayu just fell silent not knowing to say anything more. He wanted to pull the body of his best friend's little sister into his arms to calm the girl down. However, somehow his hands felt stiff and he did not have enough courage to do so.

Grizelle seemed to force herself to smile while wiping her tears. "Sister, I'm sure from my attitude, Big Brother probably knows, if I like you, maybe even more than I like. Maybe because of that, Big Brother felt careless and disliked. I'm sorry, if I sassy like even impressed like cheaply chasing after Brother. But, what happened tonight, really opened my eyes, so that I could love myself. Brother take it easy, from now on, I will stop chasing after Brother, and will start to open my heart to the man who clearly loves me," Grizelle said at length. But, this time the young woman looked more determined when saying word for word that was thrown from her mouth.

"Zell, ma'am, that's not what I meant. I never thought you were cheap. It's just me ...." Bayu hung his words because he was confused how to explain in a place many people like this.

"Only, Brother does not love me. That right?" grizelle quickly said, "as I said before, I would never expect Brother to return my love again, so Brother take it easy," Grizelle smiled and left, get out of the room to the back garden. The woman wanted to feel calm.

Bayu took a deep breath and exhaled back into the air. The man stared at the plate containing the food he had not had time to eat. The man immediately stroked his stomach which was already screaming for filling.

"I'm sorry, you have to be patient. Now, there's more to it than filling you in. I have to persuade the beloved princess of the Maheswara family. I hope you will be invited to cooperate," Bayu, invite his stomach to talk. Then without further consideration, the man immediately followed Grizelle. Without Bayu noticing, Gavin's pair of eyes from earlier looked towards himself and Grizelle.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"What's so good here?" Bayu landed his body sitting next to Grizelle who was busy daydreaming.

Grizelle was immediately shocked by Bayu's sudden arrival.

"Sir Bayu, why are you here? you better stay inside" Grizelle said on the sidelines of her shock.

"I felt empty inside because there was a girl who wanted to stop loving me. I really didn't want him to stop loving me" Bayu said, looking into Grizelle's eyes.

"Why should my sister not be willing? brother should be happy, because there will be no more that will mess up Big Brother's life,"

"But, I'm glad my life was messed up by you" Bayu chimed in on Grizelle's remarks.

Grizell sighed and turned to Bayu who was still loyal to her gaze.

"Sister, please don't be like this. Don't make me hope again. I'm tired Brother," said Grizelle.

"Zell, to be honest, I actually like you, but I'm trying to shake off the feelings I have for a reason. I just feel inappropriate for a girl like you who has had a luxurious life since childhood. As long as you know, befriend your brother first, there have been many whispers that say that I am friendly with your brother just because of his wealth. I don't know what words I would have listened to had I been in a relationship with you. That's why, I tried to steady myself first, before I got close to you. However, hearing what you said earlier, wanting to stop loving me, scared me of losing you before I really deserved you. I know, Darell likes you and he deserves me more, but my heart does not accept imagining you with him, Zell said Bayu at length without pause, revealing what had been stuck in his heart.

"How can you think like that, brother? I sincerely love you. Why do you think about what people say? we who create our own happiness are not others,"

"I know that. It's easy to say but in practice hard, Zell. I am a man who wants to be seen as a man who can bear the responsibility of all the needs of my wife later, without dependence on the wealth of his parents. I'm afraid you won't need me, to meet your needs, because I know, you already got it from om Gavin," Bayu said, sighing heavily.

"Why can you think like that?" suddenly Gavin appears along with Gilang and Randi and Sandi.

"Om Gavin," Bayu stood up to greet the middle-aged man.

"All the achievements you have achieved up until now are your hard work. Ignore all the words that have cornered you. The most important thing now is that we never assume that you are using us," Gavin continued, patting the shoulder of a man he had actually considered to be his own son, ever since the young man lost his parents.

"But Om __"

"There's no but-but. I've heard everything you said before, and I can catch that you really love my daughter.That's enough for me, and it makes me calm, because my daughter is in the hands of the right person," Gavin interrupts Bayu's speech, before the man finishes speaking.

"Thank you, Om. You already believe me! I can't promise, but I will always try to love and make Grizelle happy" Bayu said firmly and steadily.

"Good! I hold your word! now, Om wants to go in first. Rey and Denis were waiting for me inside," Gavin stepped in after everything in that place agreed.

"Bay, from now on you call me brother. Don't call me names anymore!" sack Gilang casually.

"Why?" Bayu scrunched his forehead.

"Because you will soon be my sister-in-law. So, if you don't want to and you have to, you have to call me brother,"

Bayu snorted at Gilang's words, but the man had no intention of refuting.

"Lang, what am I you? please raise me as your sister too" said Randi suddenly.

"Relieve it!" reply Gilang short dense and clear while moving away.

"Why? you will lose you do not want to have a sister like me," said Randi while following Gilang's steps.

"Currently, I'm losing having a sister like you. My blood will rise every day" said Gilang, stepping.

Meanwhile, Sandi and Bayu chuckle and step up after Gilang and Randi.

"Sir Bayu, why am I left behind?" shouted Grizelle who felt neglected from earlier.

Bayu stopped and turned back his body. The man immediately patted his eel and ran back to Grizelle who had a sour face.

"Sorry, I forgot. I'm very hungry, so what's in my head is now the shadow of the delicious food that's inside" said Bayu honestly.
