Two Faces One Love
Gabrian Room

Eilaria looked at the sleeping Gabriel. He approached, sat down on the edge of the bed and wiped off the sweat on Gabriel's forehead. His hand then grabbed the AC remote and set the temperature so that it was colder. He stood up and walked towards the door. As her hand was already holding the doorknob, Eilaria became doubtful. He felt it inappropriate to enter Ian's room secretly. But there was an urge in his heart to keep going to that room. Slowly, he opened the door of the room and hoped not to make a sound that could make Iel wake up, then he closed it back slowly.

His eyes were staring at Ian's room door. I don't know why his heart is beating so fast. He even felt a cold sweat drenching his forehead.

Eilaria's hand touched the doorknob and opened it slowly. The room looked dark. Eilaria looked for the light switch and blamed it. He closed the door slowly. His eyes immediately stared at the entire room. Bookshelves full of novels from different languages. His eyes were staring at the bed that was there. Some time ago, he slept here. With Gabrian, it was Gabriel.

As her heart ached when she recalled that moment, Eilaria hurriedly took those memories out of her head. He can go crazy if he keeps thinking about what he's been through with Ian.

His eyes were busy staring at the title of the novel one by one. He finally chose 2 novels that he had never read. One English novel and one Indonesian novel.

As he was about to leave the room, he was surprised to see the door open and it turned out that Giani was standing there.

Both were surprised. "Eil?"

"Mommy?"

Eilaria's face was instantly red. "Eh, I can't sleep so I'm here to borrow some novels."

Giani smiles. "Mommy also likes to read novels if you can't sleep. Have you chosen him?"

Eilaria's head nodded as she raised the two novels in her hands.

"Yes, already. Mommy was just checking on Stevany's condition because she complained of a sore throat. When I saw Ian's room light on, mommy meant to turn it off, you were here."

"I'm sorry if I'm being rude to enter Ian's room without excuse." Eilaria was embarrassed.

"Don't feel embarrassed? Ian wouldn't be angry if anyone would borrow his novel. Mommy went back to the room first." Giani said and immediately left Eilaria, heading to his room on the first floor.

Eilaria turned off the lights of Gabrian's room and immediately headed to the next room.

"What's up, baby? Is Stevany okay?" asked Jero who woke up and saw his wife sitting on the edge of the bed with a sad face.

Giani looked at her husband who was now awake and sitting next to her.

"Stevany's been sleeping well."

"What makes my wife sad?" jero asked and took Giani's hand and kissed him softly.

"I saw Ian's room light on. When I opened it, there was Eil there. He said he couldn't sleep and wanted to read some novels."

"Then, what's the problem?"

Giani took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Bee, it looks like what I'm afraid of is happening. Eil was also interested in Ian. They slept in this house when we were in Singapore. That's why Eil knows that in Ian's room there are many novels. But I don't think it's a problem with the novel, Bee. Eil was looking for something that reminded him of Ian in that room."

"Honey, could Eil really just want to borrow a novel?"

"Come, Bee. I'm afraid my two children will get hurt. I'm afraid that Eil won't be able to choose between Iel and Ian."

Jero wrapped his hand around Giani's shoulder while rubbing his wife's arm gently. "Eil is confused. But he will find a great love for Iel later. Now sleep huh? It's 2 at dawn." Jero pulled Giani's body slowly and laid him down. He also laid his body beside his wife.

Slowly, Giani sleeps aside and rests his head on her husband's chest. Jero smiled happily. He kissed the top of his wife's head and gently stroked her head. Both were immersed in their minds until they finally fell asleep in a dream.

*********

Gabriel woke up from a feeling of urination. As he looked to the side, he did not find Eilaria there. Even the bed looks very neat as if it has not been slept. He sat down and circulated his gaze to all corners of the room that seemed dim because the light there was only a lamp from the balcony of the room.

Gabriel picked up the remote above the nightstand and turned on the room light. He saw Eilaria sleeping on the sofa. Why is he sleeping there?

Slowly, Gabriel grabbed the support stick and stood up. He approached Eilaria. He saw that his wife was sleeping well. Gabriel would wake him up when his eyes saw a novel on the table and another that had fallen on the floor. It seems Eilaria read it before going to bed.

Gabriel would step back into the bathroom, but he abandoned his intentions. Since when did Eil have a novel? Does he always carry a novel?

Gabriel's hand picked up the novel on the table. He opened his first page and found the GD name and the date and place of purchase of the novel. This is Ian's novel. His twin brother always wrote his initials in every novel he bought at once with the date and place he bought it. Ian once said that he wrote it so he never forgot when to buy the novel.

So, Eil went to Ian's room last night?

Gabriel's heart was jealous.

Why does my heart ache when I think about Eil going to Ian's room? How did he know Ian's room? Was it when I was in a coma that they had been to this house? They slept in Ian's room? Nah! I can't be angry. Didn't I ask Ian to replace me? I have to accept whatever happened between them. All I have to do now is fight back for Eil's heart to focus only on me. I'm sure that Eil will come back to love me completely.

He also stepped into the bathroom. When he was done with the business in the bathroom, Gabriel again looked at Eilaria who still looked sound with his sleep. If only his hands and feet were strong, he would have lifted Eilaria's body and moved her onto the bed. He wanted to wake Eil but could not bear to disturb his sleep. Finally, he took a blanket from the closet and covered his wife's body. He himself returned to his bed because the time was still showing at half six in the morning. But as his drowsiness was gone, Gabriel decided to get up and get a little exercise in the backyard. Doctors advised her to always move her legs and hands as often as possible.

He went down the stairs and found that all the inhabitants of the house were still asleep except for the servants who had started cleaning the house.

In this house they did have 3 female servants and and one male servant who used to take care of the garden together with his mother. Giani really likes flowers. They also have 2 drivers. One driver usually drove Stevany and Joselin to school, while the other driver always drove daddy to the office.

"Good morning, sir....!" Sapa bi Yem, the oldest servant.

"Good morning, bi."

Gabriel knew that even though the servants had worked here for many years, they were often still confused to distinguish Ian and Iel.

While he was exercising, Giani came to see him. "Good morning, son."

"Good morning, mommy!"

"Doctor Bram just called. He said the schedule for his consultation was forwarded to 9am because if he had an operation schedule."

"alright. I'll be ready soon."

"Mommy will prepare breakfast first. Oh yeah, is Eil awake?"

"Yet. I can't wake her up."

"Then, mommy will take you to the doctor. You see daddy's got an important meeting today."

Gabriel also nodded.

*********

Eilaria woke up from her sleep. He was surprised to find a blanket covering his body. He knew Gabriel did it. He grabbed his watch from the table and was surprised to see that the clock was already showing at half eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

My God, why am I awake so late?

Eilaria rushed up and moved her body slightly. Although this sofa is comfortable and comfortable to sleep on but of course the bed is the best place to sleep.

After that he went to the bathroom to shower and immediately went down to bring it.

"Good day, madam, Eil!" Sapa bi Yem's. "Detect my aunt Yem. The butler in this house."

"Good day too, bi. I woke up very late. Where are the others?"

"Mr Jero's gone to the office. Non Stevany and Joselin are already in school. Mrs Giani and Mr Gabriel have gone to the hospital for a checkup. Auntie doesn't understand either."

Eilaria just nodded.

"Mrs want breakfast?"

"No. I'll just have some milk. It's lunchtime soon." Eil said as he glanced at his watch which had shown the time of 11 past 35 minutes.

"I'll make it."

"Makasi, bi." Then he stepped into the back garden. As her eyes stared at the cottage facing the lake, Eilaria suddenly remembered that she and Ian had once sat there and she had fallen asleep on Ian's shoulder.

Oh my God, what's wrong with me? Why should I keep thinking about Ian?
