Only Love
#38

“Vin!” Ivy smiles when she sees Vinnie meeting her at a restaurant.

Previously, Vinnie sent a short message to Ivy and invited her to meet. The two had a good relationship and there was never any envy in the hearts of the two. They both know how they feel. They hugged each other and smiled.

“What's up?” ask Ivy who feels there is something Vinnie wants to talk about.

“Sit first. Have you ordered?” ask Vinnie.

“Not yet. I'm waiting for you.”

“Ishh you are always alone,” Vinnie called a waiter and they both ordered drinks and snacks.

“How are you?” ask Vinnie.

“I'm good and it looks like you look really good too,” Ivy said.

“Yes, thank you. This time I asked to see you because …. There's someone who wants to meet you.”

Ivy knitted his eyebrows together and immediately rounded his eyes when he saw Daniel entering the room where they were meeting. Gil's words flashed in Ivy's mind.

“He needs to talk to you, Vy. I beg you to give him your time, even if it's just a minute,” pinta Vinnie.

“I'm willing to talk to him, as long as you stay here. I don't want anyone to misunderstand.”

Daniel nodded his head at Vinnie, “ alright, I'll stay here.”

Daniel sits opposite Ivy and Vinnie sits right next to Daniel, just as Ivy wishes. Although Vinnie is a good woman and understands how she feels, she is also sure that no woman wants her husband to meet another woman, let alone her ex-lover.

“Vy, earlier I wanted to apologize for what I did to you. Sorry, my emotions were out of control until I was rude to you.”

“I've forgiven brother. I knew my brother's emotions were unstable at the time. I'm just surprised to find you who have never been like that,” said Ivy.

Ivy looked towards Vinnie and Vinnie's face looked ordinary. He is convinced that Daniel has told them what happened to the two of them until Daniel asks Vinnie for help.

“I promise I won't do anything like that again. I'm gonna start over with Vinnie. But, can I still be friends with you?” ask Daniel doubtfully.

Ivy knew Daniel meant everything in his words. He smiled and extended his hand.

“I forgive you, Brother. We'll start all over. It's just, I can't be friends with you.”

Daniel immediately raised his head and looked at Ivy.

“Why? Is everything I've done unable to restore our friendship?” ask Daniel.

Ivy shook her head, “that's not what I meant. I don't want to be friends with my sister. I want to be friends with Vinnie only.”

“Ahhh I will gladly accept you and thank you for choosing me to be your best friend,” Vinnie instantly got up and hugged Ivy.

“T-but ...,” Daniel's words were truncated as Ivy continued his words.

“I don't want to be friends with my ex-boyfriend. People who see it will definitely think the no-no,” Ivy continued.

They solved their problems by having dinner together. Daniel can see how the togetherness between his wife and his ex-lover. The two do not fight like other couples who are faced with a love triangle. She was so grateful that the two women in front of her were good women.

Daniel hugged Vinnie from behind as he finished cleaning himself. He who saw Vinnie standing on the balcony of their bedroom immediately walked over.

Vinnie twisted his body and looked towards Daniel's bead of eyes. He smiles.

“Pardon my attitude all this time.”

“Until when will you say sorry continuously?” ask Vinnie.

“Until you love me.”

Vinnie looked straight at Daniel. He didn't think Daniel would ask him to love himself. Their relationship is still fairly new and there are still many things they need to know about each other.

Daniel hugged Vinnie's waist and hugged her. He inhaled the fragrance coming out of Vinnie's hair, making him feel at ease.

The two of them were on the bed and staring at each other. Daniel draped Vinnie's hair behind his ears, then kissed the woman he now recognized as his wife.

He moved closer to Vinnie and slipped his hand under Vinnie's neck. Daniel pulls Vinnie's body into his arms. Vinnie slightly rewinded his body and Daniel knew that Vinnie was still a little shocked when he took his honor roughly.

“I'm sorry. I won't do anything to you until you let me. Right now, I just want to hug you. I want myself, my body, even my soul to recognize you as someone who means so much to me and is a part of my life.

The sweet words given by Daniel, made Vinnie who initially wanted to hold Daniel's body, raise her face and look at her husband.

“Thank you for giving me a second chance. Help me to be a better husband,” Daniel said with a smile and then kissed Vinnie on the forehead. Vinnie's heart warmed even though his heart was still divided between Daniel and Elliot.

3 Months later, then,

Ivy slowly begins to forget her feelings for Daniel and turns him into a close friend. However, it was Vinnie who was now much closer to Ivy, not Daniel. In their spare time, sometimes they took time to meet. But already a few weeks Ivy's schedule is very crowded, even he has no time to just sit with Dad Arthur.

Sky himself always took the time to meet Ivy on the sidelines of his busy life. He was also very happy because Ivy never refused his presence. Only, Sky did not know how Ivy was currently feeling to Daniel. The woman was always busy with her work.

In the afternoon, as usual Ivy always took the time to take a walk in the park behind the hospital. He had just finished going around for regular checkups for his patients.

Ivy saw an elderly man sitting alone on a park bench. He also walked closer to her.

“Sore,” greet Ivy with a smile.

The man returned Ivy's smile with a smile that was no less beautiful and sincere.

“Master, are you alone here? Shouldn't you come in? It's late at night and the wind is blowing a bit hard,” Ivy said.

“A minute. Sit here, accompany Grandpa,” Grandpa said as he patted the empty spot next to him. Ivy sat next to him. He was breathing the air that felt fresh at that moment.

“Include, my name is Ivy,” Ivy points his body towards the old man and thrusts his hand to shake hands as a sign of introduction.

“Ivy ... very pretty name.”

“Grandpa ..?” ask Ivy.

“Luther.”
