"I can't let go of Randu, To. Five more years of our marriage and it just ended because she was jealous!"
"Then you shouldn't agree with the divorce! Persuade and convince him!"
"You think I haven't done what you said? I persuaded him, even I humbled myself to let him melt. But, in his heart he was already filled with the names of others!" Amee let out a rough breath. "Even from the start I've lost!" Amee looked at Seto with a hurt look considering what Randu said if her ex-husband realized he loved Aileen from the beginning of their meeting. He stood up and approached Seto who was sitting quietly on the sofa.
"Are you really not in love with me? Your care and concern have been with me, what?" Seto's forehead wrinkled at Amee's question. His eyebrows lifted and then cleared slowly. "I could have forgotten Mas Randu, but could you be entirely mine?"
"I don't want to hurt you. Because I can't!" Seto again rejected the feelings that Amee had for him.
Amee let go of Seto's hand that she was holding expectantly. He was really disappointed in the man before him. "I've survived all this time even though I know you have that disgusting orientation, but has there been no effort for you to change?"
"I'm comfortable with what I'm going through and I never ask you to stay in love with me!"
Seto leaves Amee in his study. Intentions to console themselves for being too angry at his divorce with Randu instead again aggravated because of Seto's continued rejection.
Amee turned her head towards the door as someone called out to her. He snorted violently looking at who was coming in when his mood was completely muddled.
"You!"
"Bak how are you?" Amee did not answer Aileen's question at all. He continued to watch the steps of his half-brother who approached and sat opposite him. "I'm here to see Ms. Amee after yesterday you're officially divorced! I was at home, but my aunt said Mommy went to the store!"
"Would you come to me? Do you want to see how much love I share with Mas Randu?"
Aileen shakes. He took something in his bag. "This, the house letter that Kak Randu left me. He can't love you right away because he's busy!" Aileen placed the house letter on the table.
Amee's eyebrows shot up at the file that Aileen had placed, she then looked at Aileen in surprise. "Should you do this with me? Wherever I am your brother? Why do you look happy about my divorce with Mas Randu?" Aileen wiped away her flowing tears without excuse. He looked at Aileen with a wounded look.
"Whatever you want to say. What is clear is that I am here to hand over Mas Randu's custody and also I want to see the state of Mbak Amee!" Aileen sighed softly. Uncomfortable with Amee's stifling gaze, she notices the rest of Amee's study that still looks the same as the last time she came.
"You should never have met in the first place by bringing you to live together. I shouldn't have let your son be born until I made Mas Randu love you!"
"What is this, Ma'am? Why do you say it now as if I started first even though what you said was true. But, haven't you never loved Kak Randu?"
Amee snorted annoyed. He took the rough file that Aileen had handed over earlier and put it in the drawer. Ignoring Aileen just like that. "Better now you go! You don't want any more relationship with the people involved with Mas Randu!" expel Amee.
***
Without saying anything else, Aileen left immediately. Her dealings with Amee are over, even though she's really hurt.
Amee's words are right. He shouldn't have been present among them from the very beginning. However, Aileen realized that everything had indeed become part of her destiny. During these few months she kept thinking about the things she was doing and was able to up to the point of seeing the destruction of her own brother's family. However, seeing Randu continue to convince her made her choose not to continue blaming herself.
"Why didn't I see you coming?"
"I don't know," replied Aileen lazily. He was about to ignore Seto by going away, but the man instead held him back. "Sister, lovin," hissed Aileen felt Seto's hand grip so firmly on her wrist. The man also looked at her so sharply.
"We need to talk!"
"I don't want to. Safira wait for me at home!" reject Aileen while trying to let go of Seto's hand.
Instead of feeling sorry for seeing Aileen grimacing in pain, Seto instead smiled faintly and jerked Aileen's rough hands. "You can go home after we talk!" He held Aileen's hand back and pulled her out of the store.
Seto ignores Aileen who continues to thrash and is lucky they are in the parking lot no employee or shop visitor noticed them.
"We'll get in the car first. I'll talk in the car while driving you home" Seto said in a softened voice, unlike earlier, even the man's gaze was no longer scary.
"No talking here no need to drive me home!" Aileen again rejected Seto.
"You want Amee to see us talking here? I can't bring you in and we'll talk in my room. Amee will know!"
"Huh. Yes already!"
Without Aileen knowing, Seto smiled faintly seeing her who had been throbbing because he could no longer refuse Seto's invitation.
"Am I too strong? Your wrists are blushing like that?" Seto glanced and looked at Aileen's flushed wrist. He then turned to look Aileen in the eye for a moment.
Seto did not mind Aileen who did not want to answer the question. He chose to drive his car at medium speed and several times noticed Aileen who was just silent.
"What did you talk about with Amee? I don't think you'll ever see him again until anytime!"
"Sister cares about Amee, but why can't I accept Amee?" ask Aileen back. He ignored his sore wrist.
"What does it mean to love and live together?" Seto asked without looking at Aileen and focused on the fairly congested streets. "Why silence? Do you understand that?"
I heard only a slow breath from Aileen. "I care about him because we're best friends. She's the one who never stayed away after knowing what happened to me. Ariston ...."
Aileen stared fixedly at Seto, not saying anything. "I'm asking you not to see Amee again. You know for yourself he can get depressed at any time. He's just had bad days for a few months. Can you?" Seto turned his head for a moment to return Aileen's gaze.
Aileen turned her face away, Seto's smile as if mocking her. "I'm sure you understand. You can now be with the man you love and he loves you too. But, Amee. Although I will always be by her side, I can't be more considerate of her. I don't want him to get hurt!"
Aileen again sighed softly then spoke which made Seto speechless. "Then this Brother is not like someone who has a disorder. Brother is like a man in general. Was Brother really pretending all this time?"
