Via was silent when he heard Vano's words. His tongue felt stiff, and his voice seemed to be stuck in the throat.
Mama Camelia takes her hug off Mahen's body, then turns to approach Via. He knew that the woman must be feeling guilty right now, let alone that Via was a gentle and unbearable woman.
"Why are you crying, Via? Today is your happy day and Vano, mom and dad will come to the apartment to propose to you."
Via grew sobbing with what mom Camelia said. "I'm sorry, Ma. I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry? You're not wrong about this, Via." Mama Cemelia wiped the tears of Via whom she had never done before.
"I am a very selfish woman. I shouldn't have done this, I didn't break everyone's feelings. I don't-"
"Hey, Via. What the hell are you saying? You didn't destroy anyone's feelings, but you're happy with the feelings of my two sons."
Via raised his head and looked at Mama Camelia who was looking at him with a smile.
"Listen, Via. Mama knows what you're feeling right now, but that's not true. As Mahen said, it is God's will, God who unites you and Vano. We are opposed, however, if God wills. Then everything will happen according to the path of destiny, and you must not feel guilty or anything."
Via stared softly. "No, Ma. All because of my selfishness, I don't-"
"Stop, Via. Don't you feel sorry for Vano?"
Via gnashed his forehead then turned to look at Vano who was also looking at them.
"Don't you see those dark circles under his eyes? He can't sleep because he keeps thinking about you, and he misses you every day. He's so tormented by all that."
Vano looked at his mother in annoyance. How not? His mother slandered him. He was thinking about Via. However, it was not as exaggerated as what his mother had said.
Paoa Adrian and Mahan just shook their heads. Of course they already know that Camelia's mom made up all of it.
Meanwhile, Via looked at Vano in disbelief. He also did not expect if Vano arrived like that.
"He also left because he had to, Via. So, will you marry Vano?" mama Camelia asked making everyone gasp in shock, especially Vano.
"Mama. Why would mom say all that, I'd want to say it myself." Vano felt annoyed, and also did not accept.
Papa Adrian and Mahen chuckled at what Vano said, as did Mama Camelia.
Eventually Vano's departure is forced to be delayed and they all return to their respective homes, while Via also returns to his apartment with Yara.
***
Arriving at home, Vano went back into his room and lay down on the bed. Several times he rubbed his face violently, not believing what was happening.
Mahen himself was sitting on the balcony of his room. He leaned his body against the wall, looking up at the sky that was starting to cloud.
Tears came back from both eyes. Really, his heart was in a lot of pain at this moment. "I did not expect the pain to be like this, O God. Did Via feel it too, when I was with Clara?" Mahen let out a rough breath.
At the same time, Via walked over to get into the apartment. It was seen that Novi's mother had not yet returned, while Yara was asleep in her cradle.
Via laid Yara on the bed, after which she walked towards the balcony by dragging her limp body.
He sat his body in a chair, and before long the cloudy weather turned into a raindrop.
Via closed his eyes and listened to every soothing rain spot. Until finally the tears came back to wet the face.
"O Allah, is all this really the destiny you have laid out? Or is it just my selfishness that loves Vano?" He recalled the incident a moment ago
"I don't want to hurt anyone, God. Both Mahen and Vano, I don't want to put a wound on their hearts. I shouldn't have fallen in love with Vano, until all this happened." He rubbed his face violently.
"I beg you to show me the way of truth, O God. Show me all the good for me, for Mahen, and also for Vano." Via closed his eyes again.
****
At night, the atmosphere looked like normal at Vano's house. They haven't discussed the problem that happened this morning because it takes time to think.
After finishing dinner, Vano followed Mahen back into the room.
"What's up, Vano? Why are you following brother?" ask Mahen.
"There's something I want to talk to my brother about" Vano said. Then they both went into Mahen's room.
They sat on the sofa in the room. "What's up, Vano? Do you want to talk about Via?"
Vano immediately nodded his head, of course Mahen knew what he wanted to say. "I know that you still love, Via. And I also feel unable to marry her if-"
"Sister is fine, Vano," Mahen cut quickly. "What you're saying is true, I still love Via. But our story is over, and now it's time between you and Via. Single-minded brother, Vano. Brother sincerely sees you happy with him, and sister also wants to see Via happy with you."
Vano looked at Mahen with sadness, he then woke up and pulled Mahen's hand and hugged his body.
"Thank you, Brother. You've always been kind and attached to my wishes, and I'm sorry if you hurt your heart,"
"Come, we're opening a new page! I'm sure we'll all be happy."
