Secrets (Who Are You?)
9. Couple Husband Wife

What he goes through is always not okay. All children can run free to play together. But he due to the presence of a disease that gnaws at his life forces him to stay put.

Stories from the past. The new blue white uniform. The shining white and navy blue look beautiful worn by all children who are teenagers. Amongst everyone, he came like an angel, extending his hand as if carrying it flying.

On a dark night he told me how sad it was to lose. Suppose that day he could have made more stories together.

Little Meika was always sad, lamenting her fate. The world seems to be holding it. Even when they want to have friends, everyone runs away. Unaffordable by him. Among despair, want to be alone or accelerate death. Reina instead came to give him an extra life. Like an oasis in the middle of a barren desert.

I promise to be with you

Reina was with him, forever in his heart. The heart left behind in Meika makes the two unite and always together. Even Reina's heart can fall in love. No love it belongs to Reina.

"it seems that I don't love her, but this love in me comes from a heart that's still left here." whispered Meika on a quiet night.

Little Meika is a desperate person because of her illness, but today Meika is a desperate person for loss as well as a sacrifice she never wanted.

Straykids' Levanter played from the next room sounded until the balcony where he was contemplating. Viana probably fell asleep and forgot to turn off the music from her smartphone. The song touched Meika's heart.

"There are Korean songs like this too? Why I want to see him again. Rein, why did you just leave without telling me who you really are." The plague finally broke. Tears are flowing. A thousand days or perhaps a thousand months passed, Reina would not be able to forget.

Who are you?

What secrets are you really keeping

Whoareyou?

Why come and go as you please

Unexpectedly, a sturdy hand grabbed onto that fragile body. Pull in the deck to give a little peace.

Warm and comfortable. That's how Meika feels. Although there is awkwardness between them. Sometimes there is guilt. The man who now holds it has indeed officially become his life companion. But in the past, that man belonged to Reina. Reina's first love.

"Why not share it with Mei?" Raihan asked who was still hugging his wife

"Shall I share it with you?" Meika asked back.

"Anyway we are husband and wife May."

"But this marriage is not what we want. This marriage is only because of Reina and the heart left here." Meika took a few steps back, breaking away from her husband's arms.

There was a sense of unworthiness in him. Is Reina happy to see the marriage. His heart is still left to love Raihan. Maybe if God let him die early. Of course, the one who is in Raihan's arms today is Reina.

"No dear Meika, if the past changes not necessarily Reina who is now here." Raihan looked at the sky full of stars.

June longs to be over, July will come with her fairy tale. Reina the Deneb will shine again in memory. Meika may be hoping to exchange death if knowing life was so full of regret. But if there is an exchange, not necessarily the story will be better.

Reina is like a fairy who can grant every wish. When Meika wants a couple. Voluntarily she gives her lover to Meika. So does the very life of hope. Reina gave it all. It was as if he was born as Deneb the liaison of hope.

"Maybe it's true, Reina I haven't forgotten. But Mei, let's learn to love each other. Living happily like any other little family." Raihan said it in a soft tone.

The wind seemed to blow slowly, flying Meika's long hair strands like a dramatic effect in the drama when Raihan said it. Words that sound so beautiful. Indeed the man made her fall in love, or indeed the love was there because of Reina's heart that was left in her. On the other hand, he felt guilty. As if feeling a traitor because it opens the heart to a man who was once the lover of his best friend.

Love cannot just come to two human children who have never interacted before.

About Raihan, the man felt so lucky to get the love of a star like Reina. He remembered how the story of the two began. Girls with fashion tastes that impressed boyish like Reina gave her heart after a million struggles done by Raihan.

The social class window is the starting limit of their interaction. Everyone knows Reina the star of the school. Many teenage boys are after the sweet girl. But just ignored. It was just that when the incident of the meeting on the school grounds everything changed.

Reina is a star, but that doesn't mean there's no downside. Smart and multitalented girl is very difficult to get up early, even late to school almost every week. But because of his potential he can still maintain his scholarship.

Reina and Raihan were late. It doesn't seem like it. Meika was there too. He was late with his best friend. It's just that it's impossible for Meika to get punished because the girl's physique is not possible.

Reina and Raihan get sentencing to clear the football field. Perhaps the young man from the social class was not a smart student, but he was quite obedient to the rules. His reputation that day suddenly dropped because of the incident of his motorcycle tire leaked.

"I just found out the most exemplary member of OSIS cleared the field today." Reina Eject

"I'm not like you yeah, I have a reason for this."

Meika saw the interaction. For Reina to talk to anyone felt so easy, unlike her that it was so difficult to open a conversation.

A little envy grew, not on Reina, but on their different life destinies. Reina is healthy and can do everything. Surrounded by so many people and got so much attention.

"May, you're daydreaming."

Meika gasped as soon as she heard a sentence greeting her hearing. The punishment is over. Reina grabbed Meika's backpack lying on the floor of the classroom terrace where Meika was waiting.

"Geez!"

Raihan closed his mouth and cursed in his heart. He himself did not know why seeing the smile of a girl like Reina made his heart warm. Unconsciously, he called his name.

"Yes?"

"Let's be friends."

Raihan immediately ran from the place with a blushing face like the girl character in the shoujo anime. He was really embarrassed while cursing his stupid behavior.

***

The urban night wind is getting colder. The night was getting late while the couple was still faithfully leaning against each other. Sit on a long chair that is already available there.

"That day, all you see is Reina." Meika

"It was the first day I fell in love, but Reina that day wasn't like my ideal type." Memories are so much sweeter.

"But fate separates you from him and unites us who have no sense at all." Meika said slowly

"But that doesn't mean there's no chance for us to try each other. I want to study Mei, make you my favorite, not just fulfill my girl's will. We are a couple of husband and wife. Marriage is a sacred promise that should only be said once in a lifetime." Raihan.

"I'll wait for you to fall in love with me Han, but you need to know, whether it's mine or because of the existence of her heart. It's just, like I'm in love and happy with you. Would Reina consider me a traitor if I wanted you to be entirely for me?" One question that is so hard to get an answer to

"Reina has put this whole story together for us. After all, he's also here with you, no one's a traitor or hurt."
