Two Faces One Love
Back to Jakarta

Gabrian and Eilaria now face each other. The eyes of the two stared at each other. Each one was immersed in his own thoughts. Then unexpectedly, Eilaria slapped Gabrian on the cheek, making the guy startled and looked at Eilaria.

"Don't look at me like that, Ian. You're not Iel who should look at me with love. Don't confuse me anymore."

"I'm sorry." Gabrian. He wanted to say everything in his heart. It was very desirable that he hugged Eilaria and felt the warmth of the girl's breath in her chest. But all must be buried far away. Eilaria is not his.

Eilaria's tears fell but she quickly removed them. "Don't act like Iel anymore. Even though you are twins, you are different people. You must have differences. Stay out of my life, Ian."

Gabrian followed his heart. He pulled Eilaria's body and hugged her tightly. No matter how much Eilaria's hand hit her back, Ian hugged Eilaria. Slowly, Eilaria's punch on Ian's back stopped. The girl placed her hands on Ian's back. He was crying very deeply. Shedding all his heart that was in turmoil. Eil didn't know why he had to return Ian's embrace and cry on the chest of the field. Eil even forgot that he was only wearing a white towel wrapped around his body.

Gabrian's hand was slowly on Eilaria's head. He caressed Eilaria's head lovingly. "I'm sorry, Eil. I'm sorry." Gabrian said with a raucous voice. He himself held back all the love he had for the girl. Gabrian wanted to shout to let out the tightness in his heart. Gabrian wanted to scream to get his heart out. He loved Eilaria since their first meeting in the elevator. He wanted to say that in his heart there was never another girl's name. She loves Eilaria Megan Thomson.

Isn't this something painful? He can hug but he cannot have. He ever kissed but was considered someone else? Had Eilaria not belonged to Iel, Ian would have been reckless to take her away. However, should he hurt Iel for the love of his life? Is this fact going to make him realize that Eil is not his?

The crying of Eilaria stopped. As if realizing that he was holding Ian instead of Iel, the girl slowly let go of his embrace. He took a few steps back and turned his body. "I'm going to change clothes. Come out. Come in again when I'm out of the room."

Gabrian took a deep breath. Trying to throw away all his bad wishes to take Eilaria away so they can be together. He also came out of the room.

When the door behind her closed, Eilaria turned her body. Staring at the closed door, along with his heart that he must close against 2 faces that present 1 love in his heart.

Giani was about to enter Gabriel's nursery, when he heard his son talking to Jeronimo.

"Dad, why does Eilaria seem to change to me. There is no more warmth of love like when we were dating. I'm afraid he'll never forgive me for asking Ian to replace me."

Jeronimo smile. "Let's teach him he's angry. But daddy was sure that Eil would finally understand."

"I'm afraid that he'll like Ian. I saw that the way he looked at Ian was like he was keeping something. Ian is like that. Ian has always liked Eil. He even went to London to find Eil."

"Darling, Ian loves you so much. There's no way he's gonna hurt you by stabbing you in the back. Now forget your suspicions. We're going back to Jakarta. When you're fully recovered, then you and Eil can go to the honeymoon you've planned."

Giani who was still standing in front of Gabriel's treatment room felt his heart break. This is what he feared. Brian and Briel fall in love with the same girl. As a mother, what should she do? He knew that Gabriel loved Eil very much. And he also knew Gabrian still loved Eil. It was very clear as Ian looked at Eil. As hard as his son hid it, he knew that Ian harbored a taste for his sister's wife. Giani does not want his children to suffer. He wanted Gabrian and Gabriel to have a different woman who would make them both happy.

"Auntie.....!"

Giani. Gabby stood behind him with her eyes puffy.

"Darling, what's wrong?"

"My father died."

"Darling.....!" Giani immediately hugged Gabby lovingly, while rubbing the beautiful girl's back. Gabby's tears broke again in Giani's arms.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Gabrian came with Eilaria. Just after Eil left the room, he cleaned up their things. When Eil found out that his plane was leaving tonight, he finally went back to his room and cleaned up his belongings.

"Gabby's father died" Giani said, letting go of his arms.

"So sad." Eil Imbuh.

Gabby just nodded. He looks confused.

"What's up, son?" ask Giani.

'I'm confused as to how, bi. My brother couldn't come to take care of papa's body because his wife was in the hospital. So he stayed in Jakarta while preparing his funeral there."

"Let me help you, Gabby. Mommy, can I go home with Gabby?" ask Gabrian.

Giani nods. He's happy that Ian wants to help Gabby. But he also saw Eil's face looked less like. Giani was confused. What's up, huh?

*********

At 8pm Singapore time, a private Dawson family plane left Singapore airport. While Gabrian helps Gabby in managing everything regarding the departure of his papa body. They'll get on the plane at 10am the next day.

When the plane carrying Dawson's family arrives in Jakarta, Giani requests that Gabriel and Eilaria stay at their home.

Eilaria's heart ached, as she entered the living room and saw a jumbo-sized family photo. There was Giani and Jero sitting in the middle, while the four children stood behind them. When he came to this house a while ago, there was no photo of it.

When they arrived at the living room, the room was also filled with photographs. There are a lot of pictures of Gabrian and Gabriel. Of them small, teenagers even at their graduation in high school uniforms. Where were those photos when he came in a while ago? Was it intentionally hidden?

Eilaria's heart felt very sick. But he pressed all that. Especially when entering Gabriel's room. Of course the room was different from the Gabrian's room. Although both have book cabinets, but the closet is filled with books about economics, computer science and everything related to business. There was not a single novel among the bookshelves.

"Darling, what's wrong?" ask Gabriel who just came out of the bathroom. The man still had to use a support stick because his legs were not yet strong enough to stand on their own.

"No. You're done yet? I'm going to the bathroom first." Eilaria rushed to the bathroom. He needed a bath to calm his mind that was hot because of the reality he had to see in this house..

For almost half an hour Eilaria chose to soak in a therapeutic aroma soap. When he finished and came out of the bathroom wearing his bathrobe, he saw that Gabriel had fallen asleep. Indeed, every time Gabriel finished taking his medicine, he would quickly get sleepy.

Eilaria opened her suitcase and took out her pajamas. He himself was tired but did not feel sleepy at all. So finished getting dressed, he sat down on the sofa while blaming the TV with a very small voice. Occasionally his eyes turned towards the bed as he saw Gabriel moving.

Because there was no interesting event, Eilaria was bored. He stared at the clock that had shown at half an hour in the morning. Usually, if he has trouble sleeping, he will take a novel and read it. All of his novels are in his apartment.

When he didn't know what else to do, his brain reminded him that the room next to Gabriel's was a Gabrian's room. There are so many novels that he has never read.The room he also slept with Ian. Eil's heart rebelled by the urge to go to that room. Should he leave?

***********

Sorry my mother just got up....

As a result of the crowded family event yesterday, my mother was really exhausted until she fell ill. My mother did not enter the office.

I hope you like this chapter.

About Eil to Ian's room isn't it?
