Funny indeed.
I should still be angry about what happened.
Yes, Grandma Josh Rainer forced us to get married as soon as possible and Josh Rainer seemed to stick to that plan.
I'm so pissed off.
Not that I don't want to marry Josh, of course I want to.
However, with everything I faced: Almost died in the terror and attempted murder of Becca...
Can they give me a breath for a moment to be grateful for life?
Can they understand that I need time to adjust my current feelings and thoughts?
Can they position so me?
Moreover, this wedding plan has only been 40 days since my previous fiance died!
Can these rich people understand me for a minute?
...
Not finished the problem, present again the others.
This time it came from my future husband's ex-lover.
What is beautiful I can compare with the Hollywood film players here.
Helena.
Just come by, hug Josh Rainer and easily say everything is just prank.
Did he really give up Josh for me?
Does he really hate me?
What the hell is he doing here?
I took a deep breath.
My life is confusing now.
Two months ago, I was still in my busy life as a doctor while preparing for my marriage to Dio.
Today, I am unemployed who happens to be the fiance of the heir of the Gurnawijaya family. Which has a lot of problems, enemies and internal intrigue are extraordinarily complicated.
I shake my head.
Teng.teng...
The main clock in the central room sounded very loud. Tell us it's 7pm, it's dinner time.
The conglomerate family is that disciplined. They had breakfast at 7:30 am, lunch at 12 and dinner at 7 pm.
Always on time, never a minute late.
I exhaled for a moment. Trying to get used to everything new that I went through as the future wife of the heir of Gurnawijaya.
Then with a firm step, I got up from my bed to head downstairs.
My bedroom door creaked, and I heard there was a door creaking at the end of the hallway.
Whose? Josh and Helena?
I tried to get back to hearing the sound from the door leaf, impossible from my father and mother's room because they were on a different floor to ours.
However, not a single person came out of this passageway except me.
Alright. I think I'm starting to hallucinate. I may be having a headache with everything that's been going on lately.
Bam! I closed the door of my room and rushed towards the dining room on the ground floor.
While going down the stairs, I heard an unusual piano sound behind the library room.
Reflexes, I stopped my steps and turned to listen more intently to the piano.
The song grew louder and louder, but something went wrong..
Her melody.
The song is On my Own, which is based on the musical Les Miserables. Tells the story of a woman who waits for love from the man she loved for a long time. Naas, the man fell in love with a beautiful woman whom he had just met.
The song is very touching and very emotional.
However, with a discordant melody sung by this piano, this song sounds less shahdu.
There's no way Josh Rainer could play it, right? Josh is a melodic genius, a musician who has perfect pitch skills and a player of all classical instruments. He must have known something was wrong with his tone.
Did Helena?
Isn't Helena also big in the world of musical dramas? He should have also realized the basic tone played on this piano was very wrong.
Then who?
There's no way the waiters, Josh won't let the waitress play his instrument.
My mom and dad? They both never knew the music.
The more curious, I approached the door leaf of this library.
I opened it slowly, and the door creaked open when I faintly saw the figure playing the piano.
A gent.
In the middle of the library room decorated with classic books, the man sat on a chair with a passionate piano game.
His breath goes up and down, irregular.
Again I heard a discordant tone, but the piano chanter seemed unconcerned.
He didn't even realize that I was watching his game.
I went forward little by little, wanting to know who this person was.
Is it Josh Rainer's friend?
As I went further, the piano player was finishing the last verse of the sad song with his chant still discordant.
And that's when I finally saw clearly who the singer of the song on Josh's favorite piano was.
Oh...
Yafsa...
I saw the look of the man in front of me.
Don't ask her. He seemed more shocked to see me who was now only two meters away from him.
Her sad eyes, her haggard-looking facial lines, and her tired-looking eyes.
Ale!
I never imagined Ale who always looked flamboyant would look like this sick person.
He here? did he come with Helena?
"Hi," I greeted him first, not knowing what to say.
In front of me, Aldebaran still looked at me in shock, like he had seen a ghost.
"Hi, Selena's missing," he said flatly.
Hearing her voice again now feels different.
At our first meeting at Josh Rainer's house in Jakarta, I thought Ale was conspiring with Celine and wanted to harm us. He pranked me, irritated me, but still helped us out of Celine and Becca's grip.
At our second meeting, at grandmother Josh Rainer's house at the summit, Ale was a very confident, flamboyant and narcissistic person. He seemed convinced that everyone in this world liked him.
And in our third meeting this time, it was somehow Ale lost his energy. His eyes were empty, his body was haggard.
He was in no mood to continue his life.
Is... is this all because I prefer Josh Rainer?
Did my decision destroy an Aldebaran?
"How are you?" I asked seriously.
This is the first time I have spoken to her both ways as Selena and Ale, two people who have been together since childhood but had to be separated by fate.
"A little shaken, but I have to face it, right?" rhetorical question.
I got closer to him, now I was in front of him who was still sitting on the piano chair. Staring into his eyes.
However, Ale did not seem to want to look at me.
"Sister.." I tried to calm him down.
"Don't call me brother!" he said he tried to snort, but he still could.
I don't care about his rejection.
Still standing in front of her, I tried to hug her.
"Don't get close.close..." Aldebaran refused me.
I know I hurt him.
However, I can't keep him going like this.
Half forced, I hugged her.
Ale tried to take his embrace off me. But my grip is tighter.
"Whatever if you want to hate me. But, all my life, I will always love you."
I said it in earnest.
Clutching it tightly, as if unwilling to lose this precious Ale anymore.
I really love him like my brother. I really hope the best he can get in his life.
But not with me.
And for the first time, I heard a loud groan from the figure I had always considered the most powerful in the world.
Aldebaran was crying on my shoulder.
I can't stand to hear it. I couldn't help but tear from my eyelids not to come down.
We spent a dozen minutes later still hugging. I was really satisfied to be able to feel the body again from my older brother.
Then Ale and I looked back.
"40 days ago, my life was ruined. I really wanted to catch up with Dio to die" I asked him to speak.
While Ale, still flinching in place while looking at me with a pushy look.
"I think my world is done. But fate brought me to meet your sister, who taught me that life and death are very thin. It turns out I don't want to die yet." I continued.
"I still want to live. I want to get up and fight with your sister.Your sister made me feel the hope I thought I would never feel again when I was alive.." I said slowly.
Ale tried to stop her crying, she looked at me blankly but listened carefully.
"I love Josh Rainer as much as I love my life. And your position is Ale, the same as it is in my heart. He is the heart of my heart, and you, father and mother complete my life with an infinite love. Because you're my brother, you must know that" I explained.
Aldebaran looked at me closely.
We sat for a while. Until finally his empty hand grabbed both of my hands.
"I don't hate you, Selena?" he finally tried to open the wall he put in front of me.
I smiled hearing it.
"Together with you, all my life I will continue to love you." he said again. "However, I really need time."
I'm nodding. "I'll go if you want.."
"No!" said quick. "I've got to get used to this, and I promise I'll get used to it soon."
"This is the new Ale I know," I patted her on the back.
He finally smiled. Then breathe out deeply.
"Blessed is my sister, yes" he said softly, but deeply.
"Surely, Brother Ale." I said teasing him as brother.
We smiled and tried to laugh together. It's hard, but I'll try things to make my relationship and Ale as harmonious as ever.
When I wanted to take her down to dinner, Ale seemed to want to stop me for a moment.
"Selena, I think I should give this back to you" he said seriously.
He pulled out a frame from inside the goodie bag that he had been throwing at the foot of the piano earlier.
Inside the frame, there is a messy children's writing paper.
My forehead shriveled.
"What's this?" many confused.
Aldebaran seemed more confused to hear me.
"This...the letter you wrote me?" said Ale confused.
I took it out of Ale's hands and tried to read the contents. "Wait for me, from your queen?"
"Ale. I don't understand. I never wrote this." I said seriously.
Ale's face looked like it was electrocuted.
"When I told you I had proof to make you want to marry me, remember?" he said he tried to remind us of the silly conversation at our meeting.
I'm nodding.
"And.. eighteen years I tried so hard to be a great Aldebaran to be with you. Because of this handwriting, you don't remember?" he said he was trying to open my memory.
I read that love letter many times. The children's writing says "wait for me, from your queen" and there are pictures of knights and queens there.
"Ale. I can't draw at all. How can I make this letter?"
Does...he thinks this letter is from me?
That's why.he expects me to be his heart's lover?
"Ale. I think you're wrong.. You misread all these signs." I tried to explain.
However, Aldebaran seems to know that he has been fooled by his wild imagination all along. He was sitting limp on the floor, unable to make a sound.
