Love On The Side
'60

"Himwa's someone? What the hell does that mean, Vin?" Mama Alvin who did not understand continued to ask questions. But mama Rere who already knew what Alvin was saying, was now silent.

Alvin took a heavy breath.

"Please don't ask again, Ma. Can we enjoy the party now? Later mama will know everything after Rere arrives."

"But, Vin."

"Please, Ma. I'm here, aren't I? It is enough that I accompany our guests now. I'm also the bride today, right?"

In the end, my mother did not ask again. Because he knows how the character of the child. Once Alvin says it, it never changes. If he didn't want to explain, then it wouldn't be forced.

Talk for the sake of talk Alvin ignored just like that. Not because I don't feel pain, but because I can't do anything anymore. All Alvin can do is stay still while enjoying the wound that feels more painful every time.

'Re 'Re. I don't understand your heart. After I thought that my struggle had been successful because of my proposal you accepted, but on our wedding day, you left me back. What's the point of you accepting me if you finally ignore me again, Rere?'

'sick. It hurts so much. I will never be able to express with words, Re, the pain I am currently suffering.'

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Rere and his two former in-laws had already arrived at the hospital. To be honest, Rere was very guilty of preferring to come to the hospital rather than attend the wedding reception.

But, he did not want to be a selfish human being. Human life will never exist in its place. Once gone, never to come back. Therefore, he sacrifices his feelings only to fulfill Rohan's wish that was eagerly expecting his arrival.

"Why do you still bring Brother Rere to the hospital, ma'am, sir? You can't be so selfish like this. Today is Rere's wedding day. Why are you so destructive?"

Ivan spoke in a sad tone and also disappointed. His face looked very unhappy when he saw the arrival of his parents who came with Rere to the room.

"That your brother is in danger, Van! Why don't you understand, huh!" The mother spoke in a high tone. I can never understand why Ivan always does not approve of what he does when it comes to Rere.

"I know. But you're so selfish, ma'am. You don't think about Rere's situation. All you think about is Rohan's brother. You really have no feelings."

"Vans. Enough's enough! Mom and Dad really have no other way. But, if Rere refuses our invitation, then neither will we continue to force."

"Why are you so selfish too? Brother Rere will never refuse your invitation. Because he still has a big heart. He will not be happy while you grieve. I hope you understand what I'm saying."

Ivan's furious. Very very angry. His face looks a little red at the moment because it is holding back the anger that is controlling the heart.

Then, Ivan immediately looked towards Rere who was currently still silent.

"Sister. You shouldn't have come here by now. Mr. Alvin would be very disappointed in you. Though I know, your heart will never be upon the brother of Rohan. Whether it's because you're still in love with her, or just a sense of humanity. Clearly, you should not put Rohan's brother before your own happiness."

Rere returned Ivan's gaze with the same fixed gaze. Their two eyes looked at each other now.

"You're still the same, brother. Your heart is too kind even to the person who has hurt yourself. If I were you, I wouldn't do this. You are indeed a happy fit with Mr. Alvin. May your relationship never be broken just because of your kindness today."

Ivan immediately left after saying those words. Mona, who had arrived a long time ago, but was still frozen with a considerable distance from the Rohan family, immediately followed Ivan from behind.

"Van, wait!" Mona spoke as she continued to chase after Ivan who was walking with big strides.

"What!"

"That's .. Can we talk for a minute?"

"Speak what?"

"Wait on! You've calmed down a little yet?"

"Tell me what you want to say, Mona! Don't make my angry heart grow more upset."

Mona took a heavy breath, then threw it away with a single gust. "That's, I think you're a little different when you talk to Rere's mom, Van. There's something other than concern as his ex-sister-in-law Mbak Rere, that's it."

Mona's words left Ivan silent for a moment with a sharp gaze staring at Mona's bead eyes. This made Mona feel very uncomfortable. Suddenly, he hesitated about what he had just said.

"That's .. I just feel like you're so much different than the other brother-in-law, Van. Because usually, someone else's sister-in-law must be very supportive of her brother. While you, even look riled up when you see mbak Rere prefers to come to the hospital and leave his wedding day just to help your brother."

Ivan immediately let out a rough breath.

"It's all because I don't like the attitude of my brother who used to ignore Rere's brother, Mon. Brother Rere is a good woman. Look now, Mona! He still came to the hospital when it was his happy day. Therefore, I am very upset about this situation."

Mona's face was suddenly sad.

"For the umpteenth time you give that compliment to Rere's mom, Van. But, I admit, Rere is a good woman. However, is it possible that he's like this because he still holds his love for your brother, Van?"

Ivan's eyes widened. His face was also very dislikeful of the words Mona had said just now.

"Don't say it, Mona. I don't like to hear it" said Ivan in a slightly high tone.

Of course the remark instantly aroused a feeling of resentment in Mona's heart. The fall on Ivan who has a special taste in Rere, is getting stronger now.

"Why, Van? Why did you suddenly not accept what I said? My guess may be right, Ivan. Sister Rere still holds a love for your sister. Otherwise, he would not have come to the hospital right now. It's better for her to attend her lavish wedding instead of attending the hospital just to see your sister."

"Enough, Mona! Brother Rere is a very soft-hearted woman. If he came here today, I'm sure it wasn't for love. But, because of his gentle heart that would never bear to see others grieve while he was happy."
