Pseudo Shadows
08 Confession

"Perhaps forgiveness can take away sin, but the wound in the heart cannot necessarily be lost."

.

"What are you doing?"

Matsuo takes Hanna to the backyard of Kekai's house. It was getting dark, and Aihara was still unconscious. He was still sleeping on the bed with Seta guarding him.

Matsuo is the only one who knows how Hanna feels for Akihiko. He knows that Hanna does not like Aihara since she said that Aihara is Akihiko's lover. But if it ends up harming Aihara like this, Matsuo will also feel annoyed at Hanna.

"What am I doing?" Instead of answering, Hanna reversed Matsuo's question.

"I know you did it." Matsuo spoke calmly as he continued to stare at the dark sky above him.

Chuckles softly, "What crime have I committed?" Still playing, not wanting to confess.

"Isn't it an exaggeration to do all that just out of jealousy?"

Hanna turned her face to the side, feeling annoyed with everyone defending Aihara. Even the man who loved her was intimidating her like this. "Am I wrong? Everything I do out of jealousy, am I wrong?"

"Of course, you fool!" Matsuo jerking Hanna sharp. Though Matsuo had hoped that Hanna was not the culprit. But now that he knew the truth, why was he still unable to hate the girl beside him?

"So now you hate me? You don't even know who Aihara you're defending is!" Everyone liked Aihara, even her best friend and loved ones liked the girl. What would happen if they found out that Aihara was a murderer? Maybe everything will go back to how it was? No Aihara, just her and Akihiko?

"I don't need to know who Aihara really is, whether it's her dark past or anything else. For me to feel a sense of comfort when I was next to him, that was more than enough." Matsuo looked at Hanna lightly, while the girl looked at him in disbelief.

"Oh, so now you like it better? Why don't you take Aihara from Kio's arms!"

"I'm sorry, that kind of thing is only done by cowards."

Hanna was wide-eyed at Matsuo's words, the man had already raised his body and was standing right in front of her.

"Are you mocking me?"

"I'm just trying to wake you up, because what you've been doing all this time has been a waste. Kio has a lover for the first time, and you even know what kind of character Seperi is. He would never let go of something that had belonged to him." Matsuo turned his back to leave Hanna, "Now meet everyone inside and then acknowledge everything you've done." After that he really left Hanna who had shed a tear.

Love in silence is not beneficial. Years of enduring unilateral wrangling, hoping Akihiko can realize it and then avenge his feelings. But the bitter truth is found. The girl who was even new to Akihiko could very quickly get her interested. What does Aihara have that she doesn't have?

Even Matsuo, a man Hanna knew whose heart she was for, was attracted to Aihara. After losing Akihiko, he will also lose Matsuo after this?

Just a small mistake, and end up leaving an effect of this magnitude? If only Hanna confessed, maybe Akihiko would start hating her after this, and Matsuo would probably stop chasing after her.

Ck, why is jealousy really so horrible?!

****

"Are you sure there's no alcohol you put in the juice?"

"Ck, that's right! I didn't provide juice at the party this time, you even know it was made by the waiter at my house." Obviously Keki responded to Akihiko who now looks like someone who is frustrated.

"So who did that?"

"One of our friends certainly." Sontak Akihiko and Kekai looked at Matsuo who had just entered the living room.

"Ah is clear!" Who else if not Seth? Wasn't that girl Aihara's friend, it was certain that she knew that Aihara couldn't drink Alcohol. Without a second thought Akihiko immediately stood up but returned to the stand forcibly by Keki.

"You're guessing my boyfriend did it?"

"Isn't it clear?" Akihiko and Kekai stared at each other intently, ignoring Matsuo who was rolling his eyes lazy.

"Listen friend," Matsuo chose to sit on one of the sofas facing his two friends, "Maybe you wouldn't have expected this. But it wasn't Seta, someone else did it. So I just want you to listen to his confession well, after that it's up to you to give me what kind of response."

Rarely would Matsuo speak seriously like this, but this is the other side of Matsuo. The words Matsuo uttered made Keki and Akihiko conclude the same person in their heads. All three are dissolved in each other's minds, until the time comes someone who was originally in the mind has now seen his form in front of the eyes.

"Eung, Friend friend.."

"Do you still feel dizzy?" Ask Seta worriedly.

"Why am I here with you?" As Aihara remembered, he was sitting and talking to Akihiko, so why did he wake up on the bed?

"So you lost control and ended up unconscious." After gulping her saliva forcibly after she found Aihara's gaze began to sharpen, "Maybe you accidentally drank Wine or other alcoholic beverages."

The remaining pieces of memory floated over in her mind, Aihara recalled. Someone whispered something to him and Aihara also remembered that he was being led by Seta. Oh no, could it be that he did something embarrassing? Or even something terrible?

"I don't drink anything but juice. Could it be that you put some medicine in my juice?"

Both of Seta's eyes widened perfectly, "What do you mean?!" Seta lowered his gaze and clenched his hands tightly, dampening his anger. He admitted that a few years back, he really hated Aihara who was loved by Roki. But the bond of friendship makes him silent, but still even though he does not have that bond, Seta will never do something as embarrassing as trapping Aihara. Although he is someone who is despicable, then enough is he who looks despicable, others do not need to be looked at the same.

"........."

A drop of tears once again broke Seta's eye pelubuk then slid beautifully down his cheeks, "I'm really sorry for my treatment of you some time ago. But is it wrong if now I really want to re-establish our long-worn friendship?

Indeed, Aihara could no longer close her eyes to turn away from Seta's sincerity. The woman had already changed, There was no more envious look that Seta always aimed at her. Even that woman had broken her ego by apologizing to him several times. Huft, Aihara lowered her gaze while raising her smile. "I think it's all over. There's no reason for me to hate you anymore, Roki won't like that."

Seta raised her gaze and immediately pulled the corner of her lips when she found Aihara smiling sweetly at her. Soon he removed the traces of tears on both of his cheeks, then hugged Aihara very tightly. "Thank you."

"Aihara, are you starting to like music now? I heard you learned to play guitar with Akihiko."

"Eong."

"Thank God, you don't hate music anymore." Seta smiled warmly, still not believing that he and Aihara could return to talk like this.

"Hm, I actually love music. But because of you, I immediately hated music." Said Aihara cynically, at least it makes Seta offended. "Ah, I want to go home now."

"Eung, I'll take you." Seta helps Aihara to get out of her bed and again leads her to meet everyone in the living room.

There was a strange sensation that felt when Aihara and Seta had reached the living room, everyone's countenance was stern compared to Hanna who was looking down deeply.

"Kekai, I'll take Aihara home now." Seta's words invited many eyes, especially Akihiko.

"Aihara sat here for a while, there's someone who wants to admit his mistake to you." Matsuo gently pulled Aihara's arm and sat her down beside Akihiko, while the man immediately stroked her cheek gently.

"So what's your reason for doing that?" Ask Keki after Seta settles down next to Hanna.

"I don't know if Aihara can't drink Wine. So I accidentally put the Wine liquid that had been frozen into the juice. I really don't know!" Clearly Hanna meant it, she ignored the disappointed look Matsuo gave her.

There Aihara pensively, she tried hard to remember the whisper of someone when he was drunk earlier. He was so sure that maybe Hanna did it on purpose.

"Are you sure of what you said?" Akihiko caught Hanna's panicked look, her bead rolling in worry.

"I," Hanna got up from her seat while continuing to look down, she did not have enough words to respond to Akihiko's question. "Sorry Aihara, I really don't know. Sorry to disappoint you all by ruining the party today. I've decided, I'll be on hiatus for a while in our band. Again sorry." With a raw gulp of disappointment, Hanna left the Kekai residence. He did not expect that the Reason seemed insignificant to Akihiko. The man was even more worried about Aihara. What should he do in the future?

"So, Hanna.." Maybe everyone would think that maybe it was just an accident, but Seta thought something else. He was sure that Hanna knew well that Aihara could not drink Alcohol, because the girl herself had asked him several times about Aihara. After thinking Aihara and Hanna are close friends, then why did it end like this? What exactly is Hanna planning?

"Dear, don't think about it. I'll take you home, since Aihara is already in the grasp of her bodyguards."

Who would have thought if the words of Kekai not only made Seta meet, but also made a man in the corner of the room feel fed up. Ah what a pity, Matsuo and his solitude.

"Do you feel better?" Akihiko asked gently to Aihara.

"Eung, Akihiko can you take me home?"

"What you say, of course you'll come home with me." Akihiko gets up and embraces Aihara while taking her away from Kekai's house.

"REALLY! JUST GO, ALL OF YOU! WHO AM I?! JUST A DUST GRAIN! DID YOU HEAR?!"

"Ck, Matsuo how pitiful you are." Akihiko muttered softly when he heard Matsuo's scream from inside the Kekai house, and the words were able to be heard by Aihara until the woman chuckled softly.

"Isn't there anything more pathetic than Matsuo?" Tanya Aihara joked.

Unfortunately, the person next to him took it very seriously. Yes, Akihiko was rejected by her first love. More pathetic than Matsuo, isn't it?

"Then from that, quickly tell me that you accept me as your lover!"

"Eung, I accept Akihiko as my lover."

Wait, WHAT?!
