My beloved sister
Lied to me

Arsen walked towards the balcony of the room then looked up at the twilight sky. "Maybe dusk has always been my farewell to him, I'm sincere if you're not my match. But, someday you'll have to know who your real husband is, he's not who you think he is, Sha. It hurts, but it's not the first time, because I'm repeatedly heartbroken, in the same woman. And that's you" Arsen said with a wry smile. Arsen's daydream was broken when the sound of knocking on the door in his room.

Tok tok tok tok

"Mr Arsen!"

"Yes Bi, what's wrong?"

"There's Miss Chelsea."

"See me downstairs, Bi."

"Yes, sir."

Arsen then walked out of his room, then met Chelsea who were waiting for him on the living room couch. "Arsen!" call Chelsea when Arsen gets close to him.

"What's Chelsea?"

"Am I bothering you?"

Arsen then shook his head while smiling. "No, but please don't talk about the matter this morning. A thousand times you ask that, my answer remains the same."

"No Arsen, I came here just to say goodbye to you. As soon as I want to ask you for help."

"Pamitan? Where are you going Chelsea? As long as I can, I'll help you."

Chelsea smiled then. "You've been gone so long, Arsen. And as long as you're gone, I'm always waiting for you. I thought after you left, you could open your heart to me, but I was wrong. Turns out your heart stays for that woman, your first love."

"I'm sorry, Chelsea."

"It's okay, now I realize. Love can't be forced, Arsen. So, I chose to go and forget about you. I hope that when I live in a new place, I can find a new life, without the shackles of the past."

"Yes Chelsea, hopefully. May you open your heart to another, and live happily with the one who truly loves you."

Chelsea smiled wryly. "Arsen, will you take me to the airport? Today, I just want to have good memories with you" said Chelsea, accompanied by tears that began to come out of both corners of his eyes.

"Yes Chelsea, don't cry. You're a beautiful, smart, and kind woman. If you want to open your heart, you can find a good man who loves you sincerely."

Chelsea then nodded her head while covering her mouth, enduring such a deep pain in her heart. At first he hoped that Arsen's return could tell a new story for their relationship, but it was not. Though basically, she and Arsen are both shackled to a first love they are so hard to forget. The difference is, he chose to give up, while Arsen chose to keep fighting, even though the risk had to bear the pain without end, and somehow until the end.

Seeing Chelsea still sobbing, Arsen then pulled Chelsea into his arms. "Chelsea, calm yourself, once again forgive me."

"Yes Arsen, it's okay. I was the one who had misbehaved like this in front of you. I've chosen to forget, I shouldn't have acted this way."

"It's okay, Chelsea."

"Thank you, Arsen. We're leaving now!"

"Yes Chelsea."

They got up from the couch and left the house to the airport. Meanwhile, without them knowing behind the wall that was near the stairs, a pair of eyes seemed to observe Arsen and Chelsea as they hugged.

While still riveted, a voice suddenly shocked Shanon. "Mrs Shanon."

Shanon then turned his body and looked at Bi Ijah who was already standing behind him. "Oh Bi Ijah, what's wrong Bi?"

"Mrs Shanon will malem to be cooked what?"

"Ga need Bi, let's buy food online. Arsen also seems to be going with Chelsea again, maybe eating mallem outside."

"Oh yes, if that's why I'm going home first, Mrs Shanon."

"Yes Bi."

As Bi Ijah was about to step out of the house, Shanon suddenly called out to him. "Bi Ijah!"

Bi Ijah then turned his body back. "Yes, ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Bi, by the way Bi Ijah since when do mule work here?"

"Oh if it's been a long time, ma'am. Ever since Almarhumah his biological mother Mr. Arsen was alive."

"Birth mate? You mean auntie, Mama Larasati?"

"Loh so Mrs Shanon doesn't know that Mr Arsen and Mr Ethan aren't siblings?"

"Not a sibling?" shanon lirih.

"Yes Nyah, his biological mother Mr. Arsen has died since Mr. Arsen was 10 years old. Then, two years later, his father Mr. Arsen, married again the same Almarhumah Madam Larasati, his mother Mr. Ethan."

Hearing the words of Bi Ijah, Shanon's heart seemed to stop beating, which he and his parents knew, all this time Ethan was the biological son of Chandra Bimantara, Arsen's biological father.

"Mrs Shanon, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, Bi. Aunty can go home now."

"Good Mistress."

Bi Ijah then left Shannon who was still still glued, she really felt surprised by the reality she just knew at this time. Actually, Shanon just wanted to ask how the relationship between Ethan and Arsen on Bi Ijah, whether they get along or have been hostile. However, a simple question from Shanon turns out to open a secret that Ethan has been hiding all along.

"Mas Ethan, why are you lying to me? What are you really covering up for me? Does this mean Arsen's words are true, if you're not as good as I thought?"
