Day : Aldebaran
I never thought I'd be at another table with my foster parents for dinner together.
Two parents who have taught me a sincere life and the meaning of working hard to survive the harshness of the world.
And I never thought that there would be Josh Rainer, who was so sweet to me and his ex-fiance, Helena, who was supposed to be his wife at the same table.
The two of them looked still familiar, like no drama had happened in the past year. The two even occasionally laughed at each other.
And what made me most distrust my eyes was the joining of the mooring of my heart that I had been looking for all this time, Selena Ariadna at the same table.
Unfortunately, he's not here to accompany me.
Except to be together in joy and sorrow with my own sister.
Josh Rainer, the person I love the most in my life.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other, holding hands, and talking both ways was filled with a tempestuous love..
I never really realized my destiny would be this intense.
Yet...
If the two people you love most in your life come together, it seems like this will make things easy, right?
I can live without feeling until I die.
As long as I'm happy to see these two people always happy.
In the depths of my heart, I vow to make them always happy.
I promise, I will help them to always be happy.
Although I may never be able to feel happy for myself.
"So, what made Nak Ale and mba Helena rush to visit us here?" ask Mother.
My mind evaporates. I smiled at the mother who was taking me rice and side dishes in front of this large dining table.
"Helena got word from grandma that Josh and Selena are getting married soon, so we don't want to miss the wedding" she said.
Mother seemed surprised to hear it, while the father immediately coughed, stuck his own food so shocked.
"I mean. You're going to have a wedding here soon? This fast?" I'm trying to clarify Selena and Josh Rainer.
Josh seemed to want to open his voice, wanted to straighten out the noise I had already made.
But Selena holds Josh, in sign language, Selena like giving a cue so that she just goes forward and straightens out to her parents.
"Mom and Dad, me and Josh Rainer have spoken. We want the wedding to be held as soon as possible. We... don't want any more intruders.and by being away from bad guys like Becca and Celine, we think this is the best way."
Josh looked gawking in disbelief, but looked very relieved.
He did not expect his future wife to say anything different to what they had debated a few hours ago.
Selena opposes their speedy marriage, but now she saves Josh Rainer from being scorned by her parents' questions.
Dad seemed to be picking up Selena's answer, while Mom was still trying to convince herself.
"You sure?" ask mom again.
Josh tried to explain.
"We're ready Mom. In addition, there is indeed one problem in the company, which is to overcome it I have to get married to be able to change the company's regulations. This was in the company's AD/ART agreement when my father left the will.." explained Josh Rainer.
However, Selena finally cut it off.
"But that's not about. I'm willing to marry Josh without coercion and help Gurnawijaya's company solve the problem. While collecting evidence to bring Becca and Celine to justice, Selena again defends Josh in front of her parents.
Josh's face is really happy now. She could hardly believe Selena would change her mind this quickly and help save her face in front of her parents.
In this very serious talk, suddenly my eyes were fixed on Helena's facial expression.
Helena sat next to Josh, right across from me. When Selena and Josh were trying to convince the parents of the bride-to-be to get married, Helena tried to make me laugh instead. He put both his hands on his cheeks and gave a crying expression with a silly look.
Then he pointed at himself and me.
Hahahah Helena! People who don't know Helena will definitely see her as a beautiful barbie who is very good at acting, but never know how funny and crazy she is.
I just smiled back at him.
"Well.if you two agree, I think we can only support you, right?" mother said at the end.
Josh Rainer seemed to want to shake Mom and Dad's hand as quickly as possible. " Thank you Mother, my father promised to always make Selena happy.."
Again, Helena gave her silly expression. This time he bit his tongue and came back looking like he was crying but shivering.
Helena must be sad, just like me. However, he really tried hard by showing me his guyon side to comfort me.
I replied with a voiceless "Thank you".
"When exactly are you getting married?" ask dad to come back.
"We're still waiting for Grandma, it's likely that Grandma will arrive tomorrow morning. And usually he has all the preparation." said Josh.
Mom and Dad looked at each other. He then looked at Selena, like he wanted to say that his son was happy with what he had decided.
Selena seemed to calm her parents. "Mom and Dad must be nervous, huh? Take it easy, we'll make sure everything goes smoothly and is fun for all of us."
Josh is swearing at his future wife again. It seems that Josh is also wondering what made Selena change her attitude so quickly.
Actually, I was wondering too.
An hour ago, Selena still doubted Josh Rainer's motives and tried to pry me to know the truth of this sudden wedding plan.
And at that moment his guess was right. He was convinced that all these wedding plans were the brainchild of Josh Rainer, not his grandmother.
I think he'll insist on opposing this plan until Josh Rainer tells me the real reason.
Is there something Selena is planning? Something she secretly wanted to do?
Dinner is over. Father and Mother immediately bid farewell to her room, while Selena and Helena seemed familiar once walking hand in hand towards their room. I even heard that Helena would help find the prettiest wedding dress for Selena.
Sometimes I really don't understand women's minds..
In this dining room, it's just me and Josh Rainer.
Josh came up to me and hugged me.
"Thank you for coming, brother. With all the sacrifices you made for me and Selena..."
I stopped his words.
"Just because you swore to make her happy. If you hurt him.." I didn't get to perfect your sentence because Josh cut me off.
"I won't let him suffer. She'll be the happiest woman in the world" she said.
I smiled but nodded.
"Make sure you're honest with him. He's got to hear from your own mouth about the accident" I'm arguing.
Josh seemed troubled as I reminded him of the accident that had taken Dio's life.
"Let's talk in my room." he asked me to follow him to his study on the second floor.
We arrived at Josh's office. Full of frames and photos of his victory while participating in various international music championships.
He locked the door and led me to a large window that showed a view of the California hills.
"He thinks you're the one who wants to speed up this marriage but he doesn't know the motive" I told Josh.
Josh's face looked troubled.
"Sister didn't mention the accident at all, did he?" Josh is really scared right now.
I'm shaking. It wasn't my power to tell him.
Josh Rainer has to explain everything. Although I know lying to Selena like this is very wrong.
"Josh, Selena's not a stupid girl. He'll know for himself what happened. And I hope you're not late when it comes," I told him.
"I'm trying! But Becca is still in a coma, she doesn't want to wake up from her sleep! I need his confession right away. I was almost crazy about it!" Josh could not contain his emotions that had now been fiery.
"Maybe we can try from the confessions of another witness? Maybe Celine could be useful?" I gave you an idea.
Josh is still shaking. "Celine is just Becca's pawn. The evidence wouldn't be strong if it wasn't Becca who turned herself in!"
"We can try. Celine knew the details of the accident, she was also the one who helped clear your name in the media. It must have been Becca's call, "my assumptions.
Josh seems unsure.
I'm trying to shake Josh Rainer.
"You have to be calm, remember your health can be compromised" I said patting her on the back.
"How can I calm down? The real villain is helpless and if Selena knows all this she must.." Josh was unable to finish his words.
"He must have left me brother. He must hate me. I must have been destroyed at that time." he said softly.
"I think we should use Celine. Because he's your only contact in this situation. Let's just say Becca can't afford to go back to normal.."
"He should return to normal before he dies. He has to account for everything. I can barely sleep every day chasing this problem! I can no longer cover this up for everyone I love!"
Josh's breathing is now wheezing, he's really very emotional right now.
"After your wedding, I'll visit Becca. Hopefully with my presence he will be healed" I offered.
Josh glared at me, he didn't seem to think I'd still be dealing with Becca.
"Sister, Becca's been messing with your life. I don't want to make you feel worse.."
I don't really want Josh either.
I'mtired.
However, there are a lot of problems I need to get right with Becca.
And I'm sure my presence will make him aware.
He's so obsessed with me.
I have to go forward.
"I'd be sad if Becca's mess made you and Selena would never be happy forever. Believe me?"
Almost without blinking, Josh is now hitting me.
He hugged me hard.
"I've made you sacrifice, made you suffer, and you still want to help me solve this problem.." Josh grimaced while hugging me tightly.
Oh God..
I really love my sister.
Even if I have to sacrifice my life.
I just want to see her blamelessly happy.
"What shall I do to repay my bud to you, brother?" Josh Rainer grimaced back behind his arms.
"Never let down my trust in you. Be honest with Selena and never hurt her, "that's all I want.
For the happiness of my sister and the beloved of my heart.
