The Secret Of Siyyara And Gallen's Heart
27. Falsehood

"How are you, Len?" Asked the woman in a gentle tone, as if to show Siyyara if she was familiar and very close to Gallen.

"I'm doing fine. What are you here for?" Ask Gallen to the point.

"I'm worried about you, Len. And I also want to let you know that Aira misses you so much" the woman said directly to her point.

Gallen rounded his eyes wide. Both of his hands clenched tightly as the woman called out Aira's name. Gallen glanced at Siyyara who was still sitting quietly in her place, even her expression like it didn't matter at all.

"Kinan, can you talk next time? I'm gonna take a break." Gallen tried his best to cover up his nervous feelings.

Kinan smiled with admiration when he saw Siyyara's whereabouts.

"Well, if you've come home from here, meet Aira, she always asks you questions," Kinan said deliberately so that Siyyara heard his words.

"Hm" murmured Gallen.

"I'm sorry" said Kinan.

Kinan walked out of Gallen's hospital room with a smile of happiness. She is happy that at least Gallen wants to meet Aira, she doesn't care if Gallen is very angry with her, and Kinan also doesn't care about Gallen's current girlfriend.

"Who is that?" Siyyara asked after feeling Kinan was out.

Gallen looked at Siyyara with a gentle look.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you yet. I need time, Siyya."

"Yes, it's okay. You have to remember, Gallen. That I don't like being lied to" exclaimed Siyyara Dy flat.

Gallen gulped his saliva rough. He closed his eyes for a while, then opened those eyes back by taking a deep breath and exhaling.

"Yes, Siyyara. I know that, and I want you to always trust me, too" Gallen said.

"Right now I can't trust you completely because you haven't told me what your relationship is with Aira and Kinan."

Gallen's upset, he's scared. Really she is very afraid if she has to lose Siyyara, she does not want Siyyara to know about her past, she does not want Siyyara to leave because she knows her past.

"Gallen?"

"Yes" replied Gallen quickly.

"I give you time to be honest, and take advantage of the opportunities I've given you well" Siyyara said.

Gallen nodded in understanding.

"Yes, I'll tell you when I'm ready."

"You knew? Your words scare me, Gallen."

"Fearful?" Gallen scrunched his forehead.

"If your past is ordinary, you will surely answer it right now when I ask."

"But you said, you'll tell me everything when you're ready. Is that how important your past is?"

"You should know, if I don't like being lied to," Siyyara continued.

"I understand." Gallen looked at Siyyara with a shady look.

"Aghhhhttt! Goddamn bum!"

Brakkk

"Damnfucking!" Bump the guy.

"Boss, we also get information if Mr. Dave is currently in Jakarta. We're gonna have a hard time getting that girl here, boss."

"SILENCE!"

"It's all because of you. If only your chief hadn't fired his bullet at Gallen's car, Siyyara wouldn't have gone blind. And Dave won't be in Jakarta! You idiot!" The man got angry and continued to throw away all the belongings that were in his study.

"Ma-sorry Boss. We promise, this time we will not make any more mistakes. We will bring Miss Siyyara to the Boss alive" the Mafia group said.

"No. For now not just yet," said the man.

"I have a much better plan, but we have to wait for the right time." The man sat back on his seat of greatness with a demonic smile.

"If Gallen stays in my way, then don't blame me if I'm going to spend it too" the man added.

*****

Time has passed quickly, Gallen was allowed to go home after his condition improved. After the events of 1 month ago when Siyyara was almost kidnapped by someone, Gallen always kept Siyyara tight. And during that time, he had not told Siyyara of his past. Gallen was still afraid, afraid that Siyyara would leave him.

Gallen looked at Siyyara sitting on a swing in the garden of the Damares family home. Looking at Siyyara who seemed to be lonely, Gallen approached and sat down beside her girl.

"Gallen?" Siyyara asked as she felt someone sitting next to her.

"Yes, I got you?"

"No. I thought who it was," said Siyyara slowly.

Siyyara frowned as Gallen remained silent. And Siyyara felt Gallen wanted to reveal something, but she hesitated to say it. Does Gallen want to tell you about his past?

"Gallen, what's wrong?" Gallen replied with a headband, but when he realized that his lover still could not see, Gallen immediately let out his voice.

"Siyya, I have some good news for you" Gallen said with a smile.

Siyyara was still staring forward flatly.

"What?" Ask Siyyara.

"Siyya, soon you will be able to see again" said Gallen.

"What-what?"

"Yes, there was someone willingly willing to donate his two eyes to someone in need, and Alan told me this morning. I want you to get those eyes, Siyya."

"But how can it? Who is that guy?"

"I don't know either, Siyya. He was an accident victim, before he died, he passed the message to the doctor who handled it."

"Siyya, do you want to have an eye transplant? I want you to see again. Don't you want to go back to school?"

Siyyara lowered her head, her face turning sad.

"Gallen, does his family know about this?"

"I'm still trying to figure out where his family is. But you want to have that operation?" Ask Gallen to make sure.

Siyyara hesitated.

"Gallen, I'm going to have surgery after the guy's family actually allows it" Siyyara said.

"You take it easy, everything's gonna be fine." Gallen stroked Siyyara's hair slowly.

"Gallen."

"Are you ready for the story?" Ask Siyyara.

"What do you want to ask?" Ask Gallen back.

"Who is Aira? And why does Kinan seem to have known you for so long? What does Aira and Kinan have to do?"

"Where should I answer first?" Gallen asked quietly with a smile.

"Who's Aira?" Siyyara.

"He is my nephew" replied Gallen steadily.

"Niece?"

"Yes, he's my brother's son."

"Then what does Aira have to do with Kinan?"

"He is Kinan's son" Gallen replied hesitantly.

"Kids? So Kinan has kids?"

Gallen sighed, he was really afraid that Siyyara would ask even more.

"Yes, Siyya."

"Then why did Kinan say that Aira was kangen with you? Are you guys very close?"

"Yes that. He used to always stick to me" said Gallen.

Siyyara menggigit bibir bawahnya, entah mengapa perasaan Siyyara sangat resah. Tiba-tiba hatinya menjadi gelisah dan juga takut.

"Gallen. You and Kinan look very close, did you previously have a special relationship with him?"

"That-"

"Honey. You where?" Shouted Dave from inside the house.

"Siyyara?" Call Dave again.

"Siyya, your Daddy is looking for you. I'll tell you if you're here, wait a minute, yeah," said Gallen and immediately left Siyyara who was still sitting on the swing.

Siyyara's tears were dripping, I don't know what she was crying about, Siyyara didn't know. His heart ached when Gallen suddenly avoided him, though before leaving Gallen said he wanted to tell Mr. Dave, but Siyyara has a thought if Gallen leaves because he wants to avoid his questions.

"Hiks."

Siyyara immediately wiped away her tears upon hearing the sound of footsteps.

"Hiks." Siyyara still sobbed a little, and it did not escape Mr. Dave.

"Oh my God, honey. Why crying?" Mr. Dave immediately approached and hugged his little daughter.

"Who made you cry, baby?" Siyyara answered with a slit to in Mr.'s arms. Dave.

"Not crying." Mr. Dave wiped away his daughter's tears gently.

"Darling, Daddy's going back to Berlin tomorrow. You okay Daddy staying again? Daddy's only 1 week there, Siyyara. Daddy promised, after Daddy's business is done, Daddy will go straight back to Jakarta," said Mr. Dave.

"Siyya's fine, Dad. Daddy's gone, Daddy's supposed to be back in Germany. Siyya understood Daddy's busyness. Siyyara promised, Siyya will take good care of herself Siyya, after all there are still Alvian, Dad."

"Yes, but Alvian's always busy in the office."

"Dad, Siyya really doesn't like being treated like a child. And Daddy also do not force yourself to go to Indonesia again, because Siyyara does not want Daddy exhausted because often back and forth from Germany to Indonesia."

Mr. Dave smiled, he did not expect that his daughter, who had always defected, had now become a gentle girl. Does he who has never known the true nature of his daughter?

"Oh yeah, Daddy was so happy when Gallen said he had an eye donor for you, baby. Congratulations, soon Siyyara will be able to look back."

"And sorry that Daddy can't accompany Siyyara" continued Mr. Dave.

"It's okay, Dad. Siyyara understands." Siyyara smiled sweetly.

"Siyya."

"Yes, Dad?"

"Daddy is very pleased with your change. Daddy is very grateful to Gallen, because he can make this very naughty Daddy's daughter a gentle person" said Mr. Dave.

"Gallen?" Siyyara muttered softly. Siyyara smiled blandly.

"What's up, baby?"

His mood worsened again as his Daddy pronounced Gallen's name. Siyyara wanted to stay away from Gallen forever. It seems like a good idea. But he had to give Gallen a clear reason later.

"Siyyara wants to come with Daddy" said Siyyara. Mr. Dave only smiled faintly when he heard Siyyara's words.

"Did Gallen make you angry, honey?" Ask Mr. Dave seduces his daughter.

"No, Dad. It has nothing to do with Gallen. I want to feel the life there with Daddy and Grandpa. What can?" Pinta Siyyara pleaded.

"Did Gallen know your intentions?" Mr. Dave tried to make sure again.

"Yet, dad. Siyya will tell him when she comes here tomorrow" Siyyara replied hesitantly.

"Then for your operation? Are you gonna cancel it?"

"Siyya wants an operation in Germany only, Dad. We'll find another donor."

"But, Siyya. Wh why? Here even Gallen has everything ready? What's up, honey? Tell Daddy, what are you thinking?"

Instead of answering, Siyyara cried loudly. The defense that he had just installed, was now smashed because it could not withstand the pain.

"Tell Daddy Siyyara. Do you want to avoid Gallen?" Ask Dave the umpteenth time, because he wants to make sure himself, whether Siyyara happy with Gallen or not.

"All right, the decision is in your hands, son. The important thing is that you are happy with the path you take."

"But, you also have to think about how Gallen feels when you go later" Dave explained.

Siyyara was silent while holding back her stuffing.

"Daddy was young, too, Siyya. You should know why Daddy agreed to you two. Daddy sees so much love in Gallen's heart for you. Daddy used to love your Mommy a lot, but Daddy's love isn't worth Gallen's love for you, son. Don't waste a nice guy like Gallen. Because Daddy was in Gallen's position, too, son."

"His feelings are very sincere for Siyyara. Daddy's never seen a guy like Gallen before, even Gallen's always kept his distance from other women, son." Dave tried to convince his daughter.

"Daddy doesn't know what Siyya is currently experiencing, Daddy doesn't know who Gallen really is. Daddy will never be able to understand Siyyara's feelings."

"What do you mean Siyyara?"

Siyyara cried again, this time the sound of Siyyara's cry sounded more painful, Mr. Dave immediately hugged Siyyara, to calm her down.

"Di-he's been lying, Dad. When Siyyara knows the truth, Siyyara tries to accept herself for who she is. But Siyyara was furious as she answered Siyyara's question with a lie, she lied to cover up her mistake, Dad," Siyyara said with a hiccup.

"Siyya, that's enough baby. Don't cry anymore. If you're going to be happy when you're with Daddy, Daddy's going to take you to Berlin. We'll live there quietly."

Siyyara was still crying, her comfort had already grown while with Gallen. Is he capable of living in another country without a Gallen?
