Sandriana, My Lovely Sist
Part 43's. Denying Reality

Mr. Lucas has sent Timo a message that the Great Lord needs to talk to the Young Master before the Young Master sees Dria. Sandro knew if his papa intervened like this it was not something ordinary, and this must have been something to do with Dria. So Sandro and Timo ended up staying at the same hotel as his papi.

Actually his body is still very uncomfortable for approximately fifteen hours on the plane, even though the first class flight still affects his metabolism. But after cleaning up Sandro immediately met the papi. He can't wait to see Dria but must follow the papi's request to meet first.

Sandro sat on the sofa opposite his father in the largest room in the hotel.

“Why never answer yourself hpmu?’

“Papi knows me, don't ask. What's the matter exactly?”

Sandro could not wait to know what important thing papi was about to tell him.

“This is about Dria, your sister.. but papi wants to know... What happened between you guys? Dria's sick and you're in J country for no reason, it happened after you met. What's up?”

Sandro looked at his father, leaning his back on the sofa. Between the father and his son there is never a secret. If the papi wants to know something about it then Sandro does not hesitate to tell and indeed not always the papi asked. The Great Lord is not the type of parent who is too willing to know every business of his son. One example of the affair about Emma, as long as they are in a relationship, the Great Lord never asks or discusses and never even conveys his objections about Emma.

But right now there's something he wants to know about Dria's condition.

“Deedee rejected me, Pi.”

Sandro answered briefly, although still sad but at least he was able to handle his emotions because of the rejection. The papi who could already guess from his son's attitude about what happened just nodded his head.

“Maybe because he has no feelings for you, don't force your feelings on him.”

“Yes. Only..”

Sandro paused for a moment, his eyes glaring far away trying to penetrate his own thoughts, trying to remember the collection of evidences of his heart about what he saw from Dria and what he felt from the way Dria treated him.

“Maybe I misinterpreted Pi's attitude, maybe I was too melancholy to assume that Deedee also had a taste for me. I just thought before that Deedee was just trying to hide her feelings, she said, he was just confused about what he would see me as an older brother or as a man for him.”.

The Great Lord hugged his own chest in his sleeping pajamas, he also raised his feet to the coffee table before him, and by looking over the lens of his glasses, mr. Harlandy's eyes remained focused on Sandro with his head slightly bowed, an attitude that listened to every word of his son, giving his son the opportunity to continue to express his heart, he said, yes every word is a path that can be traced to know the contents of one's heart.

“To be honest, actually.. I myself am not too sure about this, so I always hesitate to convey my feelings, because I was afraid that if Deedee found out he would stay away from me. That's why I've chosen to enjoy our time together rather than be honest with her, and it turns out that it's true, Deedee never wanted me more than a sister for her."

"Mhmmm... Then?"

"I mean papi?"

"Your attitude..."

"Boy expecting what? I can only accept, as Papi said earlier. If Deedee only wanted me as a sister for her, I followed her will...how else?"

Become real resignation in the tone of voice and mimic Sandro's face.

"Only so far has your struggle reached Dria's heart?"

"What does the papi want? It was forbidden for me to force my feelings, why now to question my struggle?"

The Great Lord who was digging into the depths of his son's feelings then changed his way of sitting again, lowered his two legs now and stared fixedly at Sandro.

"Here you hear Dria saying that she will never marry, including you..."

"Ahh?? No. never. Why with that word, it's normal and could have been spoken by anyone, not least Deedee, seeing his age now maybe he hasn't taken marriage seriously so I understand if he said that. Why take it seriously?"

"But that's Dria's attitude about marriage."

"But you know, to get him to accept me is like this, where it might be talking about marriage with him. Deedee said that to papi?"

"Rahmadi told me something. and Dria said it was for a reason, not an immature girl's word, but a decision of a woman who had experienced something traumatic."

"meaning?"

"Rahmadi told papi... Dria had experienced something Sandro had traumatized her as a woman so she decided it was..."

The Great Lord stalled here, it was rather difficult to say clearly about this. While Rahmadi only told me a little he could understand, Sandro should be able to understand too. Are the words chosen less clear?

"Pi... What is Deedee going through? I remember him giving excuses.he didn't deserve my love... A pi? What did you tell me?"

The Great Lord took a heavy breath, it turned out to be difficult to reveal about Dria's condition, this was probably because he viewed Dria as his own daughter. Seeing the condition of Dria these two days makes his heart not stop feeling sadness as a father who can understand the mistakes of his children and somehow his feelings become like Rahmadi, who is not happy, feeling unable to take care of Dria properly.

"There is not much Rahmadi tells us about her regrets about taking Dria from us, about her negligence keeping Dria as a teenager... about Dria whom he doesn't keep an eye on while hanging out with his boyfriend..."

The great Lord stopped there, not not not knowing what to say, but he could not say anything presumptuous, because Rahmadi did not explain it clearly as well.

"What Pi? What's going on?"

Sandro urged with his volume-increasing voice while waiting for his papi to not continue his explanation.

Sandro also does not not understand what the continuation of the story of his papi because his heart hurts now, he understands now why Dria says that Sandro's feelings are not wrong, the wrong is himself, he said, he's not worthy of Sandro.

"Body?"

Sandro waited for the papi to continue the sentence with the heart's desire that this was just an illusion, not something that really happened to Dria. Her heart began to rebel wanting to stick to her hope that Sandriana Aubrey was not what her papa was about to say.

"Rahmadi did not tell us in detail, only to the extent of it..."

"Fire... Tell me everything, don't hide anything else..."

Still hanging, it is still unclear or its logic rejects reality. Sandro began to have emotions, I don't know how many kinds of emotions now controlled his heart.

"The fire did not hide anything about Dria, Rahmadi just told her like that... You can interpret for yourself what has happened to Dria in the past, something that made her ashamed and hurt, might be a disgrace to her, and she doesn't want you to know about it. Rahmadi asked me to keep it a secret from you, and asked you not to continue your match..."

"I don't feel betrothed, I love Dria, Pi, but I didn't expect Dria..."

Sandro could not continue, for some reason his heart still rejected a truth that had been digested by his brain.

"But she became distressed because of your love, she was depressed because you were Sandro... It may be that he does not want to reject you, he already feels the same way, but because he is aware of his circumstances he cannot accept your love..."

"So Deedee can't take care of herself? Is that why you rejected me? Ahhh!!!"

Sandro swung his hand punching through the air, the rush of disappointment adding to the intense emotion in Sandro's chest.

"Be careful what you say, Sandro! Papi does not want you to demean Dria, let alone by saying such words in front of her. It was the fault of a teenager who lost grip, who was left to step on his own without guidance. Papi also feels guilty about the state of Dria at that time, because indirectly we participate in all the situations that Dria faces. We take Dria from her father, and we let Dria also be taken for granted without taking into account all the things about Dria... Papi is as guilty as Rahmadi for this."

Mr. Harlandy became enraged by Sandro's words. Sandro was speechless with the firm, high-pitched sentence of the papi. Mr. Harlandy continues...

"If you can't accept Dria's situation, don't ever appear before Dria, and remember, Dria is still your sister no matter what."

Sandro exhaled his annoyed and angry breath, he was faced with a fact about the imperfection of the figure he loved. The values taught by the mother that he has held until now about how to guard himself from the influence of free association, the teachings of the mother who obeys the values in her belief about the majesty of sek*s just belonging to a husband and wife becomes collided with the reality of who the woman wants as his wife.

Does Dria not remember her mother's teaching about it? Sandro slammed his back to the back of the sofa so that his head hurt when he hit the foam that was quite soft sofa. The Great Lord noticed Sandro's reaction as well still with the same emotion.

"If you're not ready to accept Dria's situation, never see Dria. Papi will make excuses for it so that Dria does not know your rejection of the situation. Papi reminded... Traumatized, she was once injured due to parental rejection from her boyfriend who threw everything that happened entirely to Dria's fault. So, papi won't let you hurt Dria again with your attitude toward her now..."

When the plane landed at the airport of this city, his heart was so excited because in a moment it will meet Dria, now Sandro lost all his destination back to this country, his head hurt because suddenly things became strange for him.

Sandro came out of the papi's room with shaky steps.

All the thoughts were milling around in his head... Wanting to question the truth, but a person with a capacity like his papi is unlikely to say anything untrue. Or is this just dad's way of rejecting her just like Dria? Dad followed Dria's wishes so he told her Papa? This is just too far-fetched. Sandro messed up his own hair with the palm of his hand.

In his room that was just next to his papa room Sandro was really agitated. Anything can't be done right, lying down wrong, sitting wrong, walking wrong. Finally he chose to look at the darkness of the night from the large glass wall of his room. His eyes cannot penetrate darkness, just as his heart is now incapable of knowing what the end of his love will be.
