Two Faces One Love
Really Falling in Love

Gabriel parked his car in front of his parents' lobby mansion. Gabriel does have his own apartment but he spends more time at his parents' house.

As he entered the living room, he was surprised to see his beloved woman sitting while watching TV.

"Mommy, are you back?" gabriel asked and immediately approached his mother while hugging the woman in her 40s who still looked beautiful and attractive. Mommy for 3 days went to Bali to see the cafe there.

Giani patted his son's back gently. He enjoys the arms of his son, who is now a grown man.

"Hallo darling...." Giani said then let go of his embrace and kissed his son's cheeks alternately left and right.

Jeronimo, the new papa Gabriel coming down the stairs immediately exclaimed. "Well, when I came home and greeted your mommy, I only had one kiss in hand."

Gabriel glanced at his papa. "Come on, dad. You're still jealous if mommy kisses me more than you."

Jeronimo approached his wife and son. He truly loves all his family members.

"How's your company? When are you going to join daddy's company?" Jero asked as Giani left her husband and son to make them coffee.

"Dad, I'm only 22, I want to start my own career. Anyway, daddy's still strong to cultivate the company without my help."

"Daddy is sometimes sad. Gabrian is still busy with his business in London, you are still busy with your business in Jakarta, when daddy will rest and finally get another honeymoon with your mommy."

"We're used to vacation together, dad"

"Daddy wants just daddy alone with your mommy."

Giani who came to bring coffee for her husband and son smiled. "Dantay sweetheart. We'll have time to go both. All we have to do now is, how to get Ian home. He seems to have been very comfortable living there."

"Iel, yesterday when you visited London, what did your brother say?" ask Jero.

Gabriel sipped his coffee. "My brother has taken his S3 study program. So while in college, he became a lecturer as well as running the company with uncle Beryl there. Maybe it's because he's close to Phygia."

"Sanche Figias? Fidel's bangs on?" Giani surprised.

"Yes. Which I see anyway. They're close but Ian didn't say anything."

Giani doesn't seem to like it. The woman was the son of Veronika, a former Jeronimo who had gone mad because Jeronimo had decided to.

"Don't he be as crazy as his uncle Fidel." Little Jero doesn't seem to like it either.

"Fidel is still crazy about mommy, right?" Gabriel held his smile. He knew his daddy would be jealous.

"Yes. In terms of his age is already 50s. He also has a wife. But still often send your mommy with her roses." Jero looked upset.

Giani smiles. "Let him send me a thousand roses every day. But my heart is only for you, dear."

Gabriel smiled. This is what he likes most about his parents. Their affection is never timeless. He wanted to be like them with his partner. Love each other and always be romantic when enjoying time together.

Eilaria's face suddenly flashed across her head. How the girl rejected it. Gabriel's heart beat very quickly as he imagined the girl. Have I fallen in love with her?

"Mommy, why would a girl turn us down on the obvious thing that she likes us?" ask Gabriel.

"A Dawson rejected by women? It's such a shame." Jero looked at his son while shaking his head.

Giani looked at her husband sharply. "Aren't I ever going to turn you down?"

"Dear, don't remind the past."

Gabrian chuckles. "Dad, don't interrupt my discussion with mommy."

"OKs. I want to see my two daughters first. Whether they're learning or even playing a game." Jeronimo held up his coffee glass and walked into his study, which Joselin and Stevany often used to work in.

Giani looked at his son. "If a girl rejects us, if we believe she likes us, there are two possibilities. First, he already has a girlfriend and is just fascinated by you, and second, he doesn't believe you yet."

"Not believe?"

"Yes. Sometimes love can come in the first meeting. But trust in someone will come with often we are together. Make him believe you then he'll accept you as a part of his life."

"Thanks, mommy." - "Thanks."

"Who is he?"

"Bresteran girl Indonesia-London. But he's studying here."

"When were you introduced to mommy?"

"If he's accepted my proposal."

"Master?"

"Yes. Mommy forgot that I wanted to get married young? This time I found the right girl. Mommy just pray, okay?"

Giani could only nod. Brian and Briel could be twins. But the more they grow up the more they seem to be different. One wants to get married young, the other wants to get married when he is 30. One likes to eat rice, one prefers vegetables and meat. One likes basketball and one likes soccer.

*********

Eilaria was shocked to see Gabriel standing in front of his car in the parking lot.

2 Days had passed since Eilaria refused to be driven home by Gabriel. Now the handsome guy who had a million charms appeared again in front of him.

Eilaria. His voice was stuck in his throat and unable to speak. He really lost all his mind when he looked Gabriel in the eye.

"Have time to talk to me today?"

"Speak what?" Eilaria was finally able to let out her voice.

"About me and about you."

Eilaria's forehead is wrinkled.

"I like you, Eil. I also know that you like me. I want us to get to know each other so you know who I am and I know who you are. I want you to believe that I'm a good person and that what I feel for you isn't something to mess with."

Gabriel's words made Eilaria's heart beat very fast. The man expressed his heart. Eilaria did think about it these few days. He couldn't even sleep well because the guy's face was haunting him.

"alright. Where do you want us to talk, brother?"

The smile on Gabriel's face expanded. "Whatever makes you feel safe."

"How about my apartment."

"What?"

"Eh, don't get me wrong, brother. Coincidentally, I asked my aunt to prepare my favorite balado chicken. I was hungry because I wanted to enjoy it in the apartment. Shouldn't we go eat before we share the story? Talking on an empty stomach will lack concentration."

Gabriel looked at the pretty face in front of him with anxiety. Want it to feel it pinches the smooth cheeks that look beautiful even without a layer of makeup.

"All right."

"We'll just get in my car?"

Gabriel nodded. He gave Gerry a code to get closer.

"Gerry, you go out to lunch and I'll call you back to pick me up."

Gerry nodded. "Good, master!" he immediately left the campus. Gabriel got into Eilaria's car where the girl was waiting for him by sitting behind the steering wheel. Slowly the car left the campus.

The distance from the campus to Eilaria's apartment turned out to take up to 20 minutes. Eil Apartment is one of the luxury apartments in Jakarta and is an apartment built by the company dady Jeronimo. But Gabriel refrained from telling Eil that. Including Gabriel's apartment unit which is in the building opposite the Eil apartment building.

"Let's go in!" take Eilaria friendly. A woman in her 50s greeted them with a friendly smile. It's not the first time Eil has brought a male college friend into the apartment.

"One college huh?" ask bi Uli while whispering. They were in the kitchen to prepare lunch.

"Not bi. He's the guy I told you about that time."

"The owner of the novel?"

Eil nodded timidly.

"Oh my goodness, non. It is not worth falling in love with her. He's handsome and seems polite."

"He's really handsome." Eilaria felt her heart beating again very quickly. He occasionally glanced at Gabriel who was standing on the balcony of the living room while calling someone. That guy looks fashionable without his work coat.

They finally ate both. Bi Uli deliberately left the two of them and chose to be in his room.

"Don't you like spicy food too?" ask Eil

"Yes. My mom also loves cooking spicy food. But at home only me and my mom like to eat it."

"I also like spicy food. Although initially the time to move here is a bit difficult but over time to get used to it too."

"Said since High School you've been here huh?"

"Yes. Since childhood, I have loved Indonesia. I like tropical climates. I actually have a cold allergy. If it's winter in London, I have to wear thick, multi-layered clothes and never take off my socks and socks. My skin will become red if the air is too cold and I will quickly cough. Hence, Oma and Opa will always take me on vacation to the tropics if the winter comes. Finally I had to go homeschooling until Junior High. So when I went to high school, I lived in Indonesia."

Gabriel looked at Eil proudly. "You're very independent. Is it just staying alone with your nanny?"

"Actually we lived three with the son bi Uli. But since 6 months ago, she has been married and followed her husband living in Malang."

After lunch by sharing a story together, they moved to the living room while enjoying the pudding made by Eilaria yesterday. Gabriel loves chocolate pudding by Eil.

"It turns out we have a lot in common, right? Love to read novels, love spicy food and love chocolate pudding." Eil.

"And that's why I'm sure we'll have a match as lovers."

Eil was shocked to hear Gabriel's words. Lovers' couple? Isn't this too fast?

"But, we just got to know and ...."

"We have to be lovers in order to get to know each other." Gabriel, who had been sitting opposite Eil, now moved next to the girl. He grabbed Eil's hand and held it gently. "Will you be my lover?"

Eilaria looked up and her gaze met directly with Gabriel's black bead. Although he had never dated, but he could see the seriousness in those eyes.

"How, Eil?" gabriel asked nervously. He was afraid of being rejected by Eilaria.

"I want to." Eilaria answered while bowing in shame.

Gabriel kissed Eilaria's hands in turn. She was so grateful that the girl accepted it. There was a feeling of happiness as well as pride in his heart. Although deep in his heart, there was a shadow of Ian's face that flashed. Ian would understand.
