Pursuing the Love of Twins
Loving Turns Out to be as Hard as This

Erlita laid her body on the bed with eyes staring at the ceiling of her room. She just finished her shower. His mind floated on the incident on campus this afternoon. Somehow Erlita has to deal with all this. Because he is not ready to start a relationship with the opposite sex. He still wants to be alone. Pendy's words this afternoon, made Erlita go straight from there. He better avoid for now. Rather than hurt Pendy.

The open door of the room did not make Erlita take her eyes off. He knows who's coming, if it's not Mami it must be Erland or Papi.

"You okay?" Erland sat on the bedside. Take the open that's on Erlita's bedside nightstand. He opened it even though he was not interested in reading the book at all.

"Do you love her too?"

That question made Erlita wake up instantly. He did not turn his head towards Erland and looked at him fixedly. "I don't know, which I'm obviously comfortable with"

Erland breathed a rough sigh when she realized that her brother's feelings had already exceeded the limit. Even though Erlita was not aware of what she was feeling. But, Erland knew very well if what Erlita felt was love.

"Think and reassure your feelings, if you're sure then I can't do anything either. At least I've convinced him that he won't hurt you in any case" Erland stood up and walked out of Erlita's room.

It was just an accident. I guarantee I won't make Erlita wretch, because I love her.

Erland glanced at Erlita who was pecking at her place. But a few seconds later, he just left. Erland clasped Pendy's shirt with a look of rage.

"You! How dare you say love to my brother"

Pendy looked relaxed and ordinary as Erland looked at her so sharply. It was as if he wanted to devour Pendy alive at this moment. However, Pendy still looked calm.

"I'm just expressing what I feel. Because of what I feel right now, it's really sincere to Erlita"

Hearing that made Erland clutching the collar of Pendy's shirt tighter. "loving her? Are you sure you're not gonna hurt Erlita with that love of yours, huh?"

"Yes, I'm sure. In the slightest I won't make Erlita hurt. Because I really love him!" Pendy's words were so loud and filled with confidence made Erland release the clutches of his hands on the collar of the man's clothes.

Hearing Pendy so confidently love Erlita, actually made Erland a little calm. Because she no longer needs to be afraid if Adriana will turn away from him to the man who was already close to her long ago.

"Prove that word of yours!" Erland turned around and walked away leaving Pendy there.

...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐...

This morning Adriana was preparing breakfast for herself and her father. Once the matter with Erland was resolved. He looks more cheerful. Adriana believes that the man's love is only for her. Due to the arrival of Yola, her ex-lover alone did not make her love waver on Adriana. Even Erland was so resolutely severing ties with Yola in front of him.

"Ri, college today?"

"Yes Pa, let's have breakfast first. Dad has to go to the office, right now"

Papa walked up to his son, sitting on a makeshift wooden chair with a round dining table that was not too big. Enough for 4 people. The narrow kitchen will not fit if you install a dining table that is too large as in their home.

"Ri, did you think of what Papa said back then?"

Adriana knows what Papa means, but she deliberately pretends to forget. Hope Papa won't talk about it again if he pretends to forget like this.

"Papa knows if you like Erland, but please think about Ri again. You're different, with our family background are you sure that Erland will accept it?"

Adriana was silent, she looked at her father with a confused look. When this remark was spoken again from his father's lips, making Adriana more confused what to do. "Erland must have accepted it Pa, he told me he would accept me and all my past"

"Then will his family really accept you?"

I don't know, for this one question Adriana can't be sure either. Seeing when he met the Erland family, indeed they looked so airy to accept Adriana's presence in their family. But, behind it all Adriana also did not know if they would really sincerely accept it or just because in front of Erland and Kak Tyas alone. Adriana doesn't know.

"According to Papa, you better find the equivalent of us now. Remember Ri, we're not the rich family we once were. But, now we have become a simple family that does not even have anything. We are no longer equal to the Aditama family"

Degs..

Right, Adriana should be aware of that. But he seemed to forget one thing as he approached Erland. As she boldly declared love to the man. Adrian was not thinking about anything at the time. When his love can no longer be quiet, when the heart can no longer be compromised. And now Adriana just realized about the differences that are too far between the two.

"Pa I go first yes, fear of misfortune" Adriana stood up and shook Papa's hand. Adriana did not even eat her breakfast. He's already lost his appetite.

This morning Adriana left for campus by public transport. Erland sent him a message if he didn't go to college today because he had a job at his father's company. Adriana walked down the campus corridor, she kept thinking about what Papa said this morning. Adriana should be ready for all of this. About the difference between him and Erland being too far away. About her past and family background which is very inappropriate to be Erland's companion.

Today was really exhausting for Adriana. Even until he worked in the fried chicken shop, Adriana's feelings and thoughts were still too chaotic. Luckily he always tried to stay focused on work because he did not want to disappoint the mother of the owner of this fried chicken shop was disappointed. Because he has been very trusting and also helped Adriana a lot.

"Thank you for the hard work today, Ri"

"Yes Ma'am, if that's Riana's going home first huh"

"See be careful on the road"

When his mood and his mind were not okay. So Adriana always chose to walk to her house. Although the distance is not close, but Adriana always felt calmer when feeling the night wind and walking alone like this.

We are no longer equal to the Aditama family.

Papa's words this morning really disturbed Adriana's mind until now. He could not continue to pretend to be fine in his relationship with Erland. There was a huge barrier between them. Adriana can't just make love excuses in her and Erland's relationship. A marriage brings two families together, not just two.

"What am I going to do now? Everything is too difficult. Loving her turned out to be this hard"

Under the night sky is quite bright with stars. Adriana complains of her own destiny. Sometimes he wants to be angry at both his parents about what happened to his life today. However, Adriana remembers if all this is God's destiny that she must accept.
