Love Without Memory
Rania's Confession

A very close friend and understanding of each other, Nathan is well aware of Evan's many habits.

One of them is that when Evan is holding back his anger, he will sweat suddenly even in fairly cold weather.

Evan, who is aware of what is happening to him, tries to stay calm in order to control the emotions in him that arise from nowhere.

"What do you mean Nathan? I'm sweating because I burned meat, sausages and corn!" reply Evan reasoned.

"Aaahhh yes, Rania was also a little sweaty because from earlier standing here," said Rania then took a tissue and gave it to Evan.

Nathan nodded his head quietly without saying anything even though he doubted what Evan had said to him.

As time passed, the night dissolved more and more bone-chilling cold air, especially after the campfire they slowly began to extinguish because it ran out of firewood.

Nathan and Evan clear things up, while Rania invites Aleea into the villa first.

After everything is done, Nathan and Evanpun enter the villa.

"Tonight has been a really nice night" Rania said with a smile.

"Is this what you want, Rania?" ask Evan.

"This is one of them, there are many other things that Rania wants to do sister" replied Rania.

"We'll do what you want tomorrow, but before dark, we have to go back!" said Nathan.

"Can't we stay here any longer brother?" ask Rania.

"Can't Rania, Evan and I have to get back to work on Monday, so we have to be home before that" Nathan replied.

"I'll excuse you to go to the room first, I'm a little tired" Aleea said as she moved away from her seat.

"Why is my brother still here?" rania asked Nathan who was still sitting in his place.

Nathan just kept quiet with his eyes on Evan, while Evan immediately turned his eyes away while sipping his drink.

"Go sister, accompany Aleea, shouldn't you warm each other in this cold weather!" rania teases Nathan.

Evan who heard that suddenly chokes his drink in shock at what Rania told Nathan.

"You're right" Nathan said with a smile as he carried himself up from his seat.

Evan holds Nathan's hand.

"Why?" ask Nathan.

"No," Evan replied as he shook his head.

For some reason Evan suddenly held Nathan's hand, as if he didn't want Nathan to go into the same room as Aleea, what's more spending the night in the same room.

In his heart Evan hoped that nothing would happen between Aleea and Nathan, at least before Nathan actually opened his heart to Aleea.

Nathan then took his step into the room, while Evan just sighed rough and then moved from his seat.

"Where's Evan going?" ask Rania.

"We need to rest in order to wake up tomorrow morning!" evan answered without stopping his steps.

On the other hand, the sleepless Aleea was so shocked when Nathan walked into her room.

"What are you doing here?" asked Aleea who immediately moved from her sleeping position.

"Slow down your voice or Rania will hear it" Nathan whispered.

"What are you doing here, Nathan? you're not gonna sleep here, are you?" aelea asked repeating her question.

"Then where am I going to sleep? there are only 3 big rooms here, there's no way I can sleep with my aunt, right?" reply Nathan.

"No. You don't want to sleep here with you!" aelea refused.

"Why? isn't this what you wanted on our first night after marriage?" nathan asked, bringing himself closer to Aleea.

"Due to your attitude Nathan, I'll scream if you dare to touch me!" aelea said keeping her distance from Nathan.

"We are Aleea's lawful husband and wife, what harm would it do if I just touched my wife?" ask Nathan.

"Suami's wife you said? after you said that if you don't love me and don't care about me, can our relationship still be considered husband and wife?" reply Aleea.

"Of course I can, I can always do whatever I want Aleea to do, you should know that!" nathan said with a terrible smile in Aleea's eyes.

In the past, Aleea had always wondered about the reason Nathan didn't want to be in a room with her.

But after everything that happened, Aleea simply did not want Nathan to touch her, what else did more than that, even though he knew that their relationship was still under the umbrella of a legitimate marriage.

Aleea will not allow herself to be tarnished by Nathan, the man who does not love her and only keeps her in a loveless marriage.

"I'll go if you don't get out of here!" aelea said with her own bed.

But Nathan quickly restrained Aleea's hand and pushed Aleea until Aleea fell lying on the bed.

Nathan just stood up smilingly looking at Aleea who was lying before him....

Tooookkkk tooookkk

The sound of knocking on the door made Nathan and Aleea instantly bring their gaze towards the door.

Nathan then immediately walked towards the door and opened it.

"Evan, what's wrong?" nathan asked Evan, who was standing at the door of his room.

"Come with me!" said Evan then pulled Nathan's hand and took him up to the second floor.

Evan deliberately forces Nathan to come with him, as Evan is worried that Nathan will do something beyond the limits of Aleea.

"Tonight you're sleeping here!" evan said as he opened the door to his room.

"Why? didn't you say I shouldn't make Rania suspicious? sleeping in a different room to Aleea would only make Rania suspicious, Evan!"

"He won't be suspicious as long as he doesn't know it" Evan replies.

"But why? weren't you the one who asked me to get closer to Aleea?" ask Nathan.

"Sleep Nathan, you ask too many questions like Rania" Evan said without answering Nathan's questions while closing the door to his room after Nathan entered.

"Are you afraid I'll do something to Aleea?" nathan asked Evan, who was lying on the bed.

"I know you're a normal Nathan guy and you've never slept in a bed with a girl, it's not impossible if something unwanted is going to happen, right?"

"There's nothing wrong if you're really a husband and wife who love each other" said Evan.

"You worry too much about Evan, I have absolutely no intention of doing that, after all if I wanted to do that, I would have done it a long time ago" Nathan said.

"And you didn't know Evan, I slept in a bed with Vina, once" Nathan said.

"Never do anything that's out of bounds to him, Nathan, you've used it so at least don't ruin it" Evan said.

"Yes. yaa. yaa. yaa. I understand" Nathan replied and dropped himself on the same bed as Evan.

But before the two of them fell asleep, the sudden knocking of the door made Nathan and Evan instantly bring their gaze towards the door.

Evan immediately attached the tip of his index finger to his lips as a code so that Nathan did not make a sound.

"You have to hide" Evan whispered very quietly.

Nathan snorted angrily and then circulated his gaze around to find a place to hide.

Tooookkkk tooookkk

The sound of knocking on the door again rang out, making Nathan and Evan even more panicked.

"Sister, is Evan's brother asleep?" asked Rania from the front of Evan's room.

Evan then opened the large closet in his room and immediately pulled Nathan's hand to enter the closet.

"Are you crazy?" nathan protests but is not cared for by Evan who immediately closes the closet door and walks towards the door of his room and opens it.

"Rania, why haven't you slept?" evan asked Rania who was standing at the door of her room.

Suddenly Rania hugged Evan just like that. Rania cries in Evan's arms which makes Evan surprised and confused.

"What's Rania? are you having a nightmare?" evan asked as he patted Rania on the back, trying to calm Rania down even though he did not know what really happened to Rania.

"When will Evan see Rania as a mature woman? why has Rania always been a child in the eyes of big sister?" asked Rania sobbing.

"Well, are you Rania? why are you suddenly talking like this?" evan asked, not understanding what made Rania cry.

Fearing to steal the aunt's attention, Evanpun invites Rania into his room and sits Rania on the edge of his bed.

"Tell me slowly, what makes you suddenly like this Rania?" evan asked while crouching in front of Rania.

"Rania is a grown up sister, Rania is not a child anymore, can Evan not see her?" reply Rania with still sobbing.

"For me you will always be my little sister Rania, my dear sister" Evan said.

"Why just a sister? is it because Evan Rania is still a child?" ask Rania.

Evan was still speechless, he was trying to find words that would not offend Rania.

"Rania has thought about it well, sister, Rania has been thinking about it since, so Rania will tell Evan now" said Rania.

"What do you want Rania to say?" ask Evan.

"Sister Evan must know, Rania is not a child anymore, on campus Rania has a lover, she has a boyfriend, outside the campus, Rania always wears open clothes and Rania has also done things that adults do with her lover," explained Rania who made Evan frown.

"Rania knows what men like and Rania can give it to her, Rania....."

"Quite Rania, why are you telling me all this? do you think that by telling me that, I'll think of you as a grown woman?" evan asked cutting off Rania's words.

"It's just not Rania, what you're doing is showing you're still a labile kid who can't think long, a teenager who can't even think about the good and bad of what he's doing" Evan continued.

"But brother....."

"Study abroad may have a big impact on Rania's attitude and way of thinking, but I hope you won't be swept away in a culture and bad habits that don't fit in well!" said Evan.

"Rania doesn't like to be seen as a little kid sister, Rania is an adult and Rania wants to show that to everyone!" rania.

"You can show it without dropping your pride Rania, only you can keep your own pride, so don't let it fall in front of the wrong guy!" reply Evan.

Rania only fell silent, her tears dripping down her cheeks.

"Are you in love with Rania?" asked Evan who only answered a nod of the head by Rania.

"There is no need to try to be someone else just to show that if you are an adult Rania, those who sincerely love you will still love you no matter what you are" Evan said, wiping away tears on both cheeks.

Evan then holds both shoulders of Rania so that Rania stands up and brings Rania into his arms.

"I see, maybe now are the times when you're trying to figure out who you are, but don't let the bad things out there affect you, Rania, no matter what you are, me, no matter what, Nathan and your papa mama will always love you sincerely" Evan said.

"I'm sorry Rania, I shouldn't have told this to my sister" Rania said sobbing.

"You can tell me anything, Rania, if you find it hard to tell Nathan and your family, you don't have to hesitate to tell me" Evan replied.

"Thank you, brother," said Rania who increasingly tightly embraced Evan.

"Now go back to your room, rest because tomorrow we'll do what you like!" said Evan while releasing Rania from her arms.

On the other hand, Nathan was only silent as he looked and heard what was happening before him. Without Rania knowing, Nathan saw what Rania and Evan were doing since Evan had just opened the door of his room.

From everything he saw and heard, Nathan was able to conclude that his younger brother actually liked his best friend, Evan.

After making sure Rania came out of the room and Evan had locked the door of his room, Nathanpun came out of his hiding place.

"You better take your time to chat with Rania, it looks like she's going through a tough time" Evan told Nathan.

"I've seen and heard everything" Nathan replied.

"What do you think? looks like he wants to prove to someone that he's an adult!"

"Aren't you thinking about what I'm thinking, Evan?" ask Nathan.

"What do you think?" evan asked back.

Nathan took a deep breath and laid his body on the bed.

"Forget it, just ignore Rania, she does like to seek attention" Nathan said, closing his eyes.

"As far as I know, he's trying to show that he's an adult, is it possible that he likes someone older than him?" evan asked at once.

"Let's know, I don't know, he never said anything to me" Nathan replied, pretending to yawn so Evan stopped talking about it.

"Whatever he's doing out there, I just hope that he doesn't get his heart down wrong, after all I've taken it like my own sister" Evan said, laying himself beside Nathan.
