Love That Pain
This is the best for us

After Alex's return, Chelsea intend to contact his older brother. He wants to make both his parents and Kania believe that he has actually contacted Veon and said that he will get married soon.

But of course Chelsea will not probably say all that, because that is not what he will do. If she does, then someone will thwart her marriage and plan to make Zaki forget her.

“Halo, Brother.”

“Tumben you contacted brother, did something happen?”

“Why do you talk like that? Can't a sister contact her brother?”

Veon laughed, “kakak is just kidding, how are you, Mama, Papa and also Kania?”

“They're all good, brother. Hasn't sister contacted Kania yet?” the last time Veon contacted Kania was two days ago, more precisely before Alex came to Chelsea's house to propose to her.

“Not yet, sister is very busy here. This is just brother is taking a break for a while, is there anything important you want to talk about with brother? Because sister doesn't have much time.”

“Em...what brother forgot tomorrow what day?”

“There is something important tomorrow?”

“Basic! Brother is forgetful! Tomorrow it's my birthday, I want to ask brother.” for permission

Veon patted his own forehead, “astaga! Sorry, I forgot. What do you want a gift for? tomorrow when brother comes home, brother will give him.”

“Solus brother only. I just want to ask brother's permission to invite Kania to celebrate my birthday together with my friends, will you allow it?”

“Alright, sister will allow, but you have to promise sister, you have to take care of Kania, because Kania is pregnant.”

“Iya, Brother. Kania will replace the position of brother, because on my important day, sister is not with me.”

“So I'm sorry. Chel, we'll talk later yes, brother has to go back to work, pity Zaki, he's taken care of everything.”

Hearing Zaki's name, Chelsea would love to hear his voice and see his face, but he will now not be able to do that again, “well, Brother sorry, already bothering brother, but he will not be able to do that again, hopefully this sister project will work.” Chelsea then ended the call, “forgive me, brother. I was forced to lie.”

Eric saw Chelsea sitting alone on the park bench, the young man took the initiative to approach the woman, “what can I sit here?” he asked when he was standing right in front of Chelsea.

Chelsea nods her head, “you didn't go to college? Why are you home at this hour?”

“I had left for college, but arrived at the campus, it turned out that the lecturer did not enter, so I decided to just go home. Besides there's something I want to ask brother.”

Chelsea already know, what Eric wants to ask him, “ I know what you want to ask, but I cannot tell you, what is the reason I took this decision.”

“Sister, Brother Zaki will definitely get hurt a lot when he finds out brother is married. Did you really not change your decision?”

Chelsea shook her head, “I can't, I did all that too for Zaki's good, he deserves a better woman than me.”

“Kak!”

“Eric, you're still too small to understand what I'm going through right now. If you are an adult, you will understand the decision I took.”

Eric shook his head, “I'm no longer a child, now I'm 17 years old, soon I'm 18 years old, so I've understood my brother's problem at this time.”

Chelsea brushed off her smile, “ the problems I'm facing right now are not as simple as you think, Ric. So you won't understand.”

“But I know that big brother loves Kak Zaki so much, then why would you marry someone else?”

Chelsea looked at both of Eric's blue eyes, it looked really beautiful, “love it doesn't have to have, that's what I know at the moment, because I don't deserve to have love Zaki.” The woman then let out a long sigh, “Ric, I want you to keep this secret, do not tell Zaki that tomorrow I will get married, do you want to promise me?”

“I..”

“If you love me, you will never disappoint me.” Chelsea then moved from her seat, she then patted Eric on the shoulder, “I believe in you, don't betray my trust.” the woman then stepped her foot died Eric who still looks worried about what decision he will take.

Now there is one more person that Chelsea must convince to keep a secret about her wedding plans, of course that person is Eca, he said, the girl he wants to look after Zaki and give sincere love to the man.

Eca was silent as Chelsea sat next to him. The girl didn't know what to say, because she was new to the house, and she didn't feel so close to Chelsea that she could speak out with the woman.

“Why have you been quiet since? I know, you have a lot of questions you want to ask me.”

“I do have a lot of questions for big brother, but I am aware of my position in this house, so I have no right to ask anything to big brother.” Eca didn't even look at Chelsea as she spoke.

Chelsea smiled, it turned out that the girl was funny too, she turned out to be able to realize about her position in the house, “you do not have the right to ask me anything, I was not right, because you're nobody in this house but an important guest of Kania's. But..I will let you to ask one question only, so now think carefully, what question do you want to ask me?”

“There is only one thing that makes me very curious, why can you do this with Kak Zaki? Though brother knows, Brother Zaki is very loving brother.” Eca asked as she lowered her face, she was currently imagining how Zaki would react when he found out that fact.

“I do love Brother Zaki very much, even though I haven't known him for a long time. But I can't possibly be happy on top of the suffering of others, other than that there's no guarantee Kak Zaki will be willing to accept my feelings after he finds out brother has betrayed him.”

Chelsea laughed, heard the word betrayal, really hurt him, “do you know what it means to betray? How can you say that I betrayed Zaki, while between me and Zaki there is no relationship.”

“Call brother meant?”

“When Zaki went out of town to work on a big project with Kak Veon, Zaki had already cut ties with me, so between me and Zaki there was no relationship, that's why I asked you to look after Zaki, and pursue his love.” Chelsea clasped Eca's hand, “I'm sure, Zaki will open his heart to you, so you don't hesitate in showing your love for him, even in front of me.”

“But..aku..”.

Chelsea moved on from her seat, “if you still have doubts, I'm sure there will be other women who will win Zaki.” The woman then stepped out of her legs leaving Eca.

***

After being tired of work, Veon took the time to call Kania, he wanted to know the state of his wife and also his future son, “night dear,” he said when the call began to connect.

“Night too dear, is your job done? Why are you calling me these nights?”

Veon sat his body on the sofa, “does I not call my own wife?”

Kania smiled, “not so, but it's already night, aren't you tired? You should have used the time for you to rest.”

“I miss you, I miss kissing your distended stomach and greeting our son.”

“I'm sorry, I don't mean to forbid you to contact me, I just don't want you to be sick due to lack of rest.”

“You take it easy, I'm fine, how's our son doing, is he okay? She didn't rewel it?”

Kania laughed when she heard her husband was so worried about the situation of the child who is still in the womb, “our child is fine, she is also not fussy, maybe she knows that now her mother is alone, she is alone, not being with her Papa, so she's not fussy.”

“You could have loved.”

Kania recalls Chelsea's promise to tell Veon about her wedding plans with Alex. The woman wants to prove the truth, “sayang, did Chelsea contact you?”

“Iya, why?”

“Did he say something to you?”

“Hem...Chelsea have said it to me, he also asked for permission directly the same I.”

“Then what is your answer, will you allow it?”

“Hem..I allow it, I also apologize for not being able to attend on that important day.”

Kania scrunched her forehead, she did not believe Veon would allow Chelsea to marry Alex, the man she hated so much, “you are sure of your decision?” tanyanya made sure once again, maybe she had heard wrong.

“Yes dear, I'm sure. I also apologize to you, because you have to replace me to accompany Chelsea on his important day.”

Kania believes in what Veon said, because he can't possibly lie to her, let alone it concerns the sister he cares so much about, “ alright, I will accompany Chelsea to replace you.”

“Thank you dear, now you have to sleep, it's night, I don't want you to sleep late.”

Kania nods her head, “good evening, may tonight you have a wonderful dream.” The woman ended the call.

“Now I can't do anything, Veon himself has allowed Chelsea to marry Alex. I can only pray that Chelsea can be happy with her marriage.”

***

Chelsea were sitting limp on the floor, with both knees he was buckling and he was hugging tightly, “Zak, I'm sorry. this is the best for us, I can't possibly get you to take responsibility for something you didn't do. Hope you can get a better woman than me.”

Chelsea wiped away her tears that kept flowing from both corners of her eyes. She had just received advice from her mother on how to be a good wife, who could serve and make her husband happy.

Hearing that advice coming out of his mother's mouth, really made Chelsea feel more guilty. Actually Chelsea's intention was to accept Alex's proposal, not that she wanted to be a good wife for Alex, but she wanted to make Alex tormented by the marriage. It made Alex feel the pain he had felt all along.

Chelsea want to get Alex to his knees and do whatever he wants. She never even thought of wanting to be a good wife to Alex, because she wanted to destroy Alex until it was completely destroyed.

“Alex, tomorrow a new life awaits you, I will show you, who is Chelsea now, because Chelsea who was long dead.”
