Two Faces One Love
Gabrian's Desire

Eilaria and Gabriel walked into the dining room together. At the dinner table we were waiting for another family member. Jero sat at the head of the table. On the right are Giani, Stevany and Gabrian. On the left side, there is Joselin.

Gabriel sat down beside Joselin, making Eilaria sit right in front of Eilaria.

"A quick glance they met and Eilaria hurriedly shifted her gaze as she felt that something was returning to make her heart flutter.

Gabrian also tried to behave as appropriate as his heart also trembled when he looked at Eilaria.

"Let's pray before we eat." Jero then led the prayer for all family members.

After that, they ate together.

"How's Eil? You like mommy's cooking?" ask Jeronimo.

"Taste mommy good. I like the taste of the pain." Eilaria.

"In this house must indeed be made 2 versions of cuisine. The spicy and the not spicy. Because daddy, Joselin and Ian do not like spicy dishes while mommy, Iel and Stevany are very fond of spicy foods. Now it means increasing with Eil who likes spicy food" said Giani.

Eilaria simply nodded with a smile. When he looked back at Gabrian, he remembered cooking spicy food for the man and Ian quibbled over taking medicine so he could not eat the spicy food. Ian cannot eat spicy.

"Finished eating, we're going to the living room, right? Daddy wants to talk about something." Jeronimo.

Everybody nodded.

After the meal, Giani prepared snacks and warm drinks for the whole family. Eilaria helped her mother-in-law prepare everything.

After everyone had gathered in the living room, Jero began their conversation.

"If Iel can walk well and get back to work, daddy and mommy want a short vacation. We want to go to some countries that we have never been to. Iel and Eil might as well have their honeymoon delayed by the accident right? Daddy hopes that as the eldest, Ian won't return to London. Daddy heard that your S3 study can be done remotely, right? You just need to get to London for the final assignment. College assignments can be sent via email. Keep your two sisters here, Ian. Iel and Eil also if it is finished with the honeymoon, do not first go back to the apartment. Stay here until we get back. Daddy and mommy wanted to feel calm while on our long trip this year. How's it?"

"Good, dad. These two ladies should indeed be watched over because otherwise, they will start dating." Gabriel said as he looked at his two sullen-looking siblings imagining how they would be taken care of by Ian and Iel.

"Mommy, I'm going to college in London. At Ian's college. This year I'm going to finish high school." Joselin.

"You're done in 3 months. Mommy and daddy were back from our trip. We'll talk about that while you're consulting with your brother, Ian. Anything you need to register there. Get everything online so you'll be in London when the class starts." Giani said making Joselin smile with pleasure. (Joselin to London and will meet one of Keegan and Zelina's twins)

While Gabrian could only be stunned. He plans to go to London this week. But daddy companies certainly need people to handle. Similarly, Gabriel's company is still in the process of recovery. But by staying here, won't Ian always see Eilaria? Was he able to resist all the charms of Eilaria that always made his heart tremble?

Eilaria was deep in her own thoughts. Since she had finished talking to Gabriel, Eilaria had planned to take Gabriel to her husband's apartment. Eil wants them to live together so he can forget Ian who was with him for several months. If this was the case, how could he hold himself back with all his divided feelings, if they were to meet every day?

"What's up, Ian?" Jero looked at his oldest son who looked pensive.

"Eh, there's nothing, dad." Gabrian. But as his twin brother, Gabriel can feel the anxiety on his brother's face. Was it because Ian had to leave college and his business there?

"Daddy and mommy when did it go?" ask Gabriel.

"The plan is next week. But look at Iel's development first." Answer Jero.

"If it's time to go, just go. I don't mind, though. I know that this trip was actually planned before Eil and I got married. But the accident delayed your trip." Gabriel was sad.

"No problem, son. We'll leave in the end." Giani smiled so that Iel's sad face again smiled.

"Before dad and mom leave, Ian can go to London to settle everything there." Gabriel made Gabrian smile. He knew that Iel could understand the anxiety in his heart.

"Yes. Ian can do that. But have to come back when mom and daddy are gone." Jero.

The conversation that night also turned to the places that would be visited by Jero and Giani.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Eilaria changed her clothes with a nightgown. Somehow he felt he was not ready to change clothes in front of Iel. Eil had prepared Gabriel's pajamas before he went into the bathroom.

Eilaria was wearing her nightgown kimono. Then he came out of the bathroom. Gabriel was looking through some of the files that Gerry had sent this afternoon. He sat on the couch and looked serious.

Eilaria picked up her phone and sat not far from Iel.

"Darling, don't sleep on the couch again, okay?" gabriel said as he closed the file he read.

Eilaria just nodded. He is not focused on his cell phone. It was just a distraction because he was confused about what to do with Iel.

Sometimes, Eilaria regretted the accident Iel had during their marriage. Although in the end he will know the truth that the first person to meet him was Ian and not Iel but at least, no intimacy that had occurred for several months.

"Darling, let's go to bed!" take Gabriel.

Eilaria put her phone down. He received Gabriel's hand and stepped towards the bed.

"Let's pray before we go to sleep." Gabriel said.

Eilaria sat on the edge of the bed with Gabriel. That guy led his prayers.

"May God bless the household we both love." Gabriel said after he finished leading the prayer. He kissed Eilaria's lips briefly and then kissed her forehead. Both laid their bodies on the bed. Eilaria slept on Iel's back and her husband hugged her from behind. No other touch. Because after that Eil felt that Iel's embrace would loosen as a sign that he was asleep.

**********

In his room, Ian could not close his eyes. 1 hour ago he just called Gabby to ask her news and the girl was still crying. Gabrian promises to be present at Gabby's father's funeral as well as to comfort the girl.

Gabrian opened the drawer that brought the book. A French novel. It belongs to Eil. The novel was the beginning of their meeting. Gabrian wants to put the novel back in Eil's hands. But he felt he would lose the novel that had been in his room for 6 years.

I have to have a boyfriend so I can forget about Eil. I have to be with a girl so I can kill this feeling. But who? No girl has ever touched my heart. What about Gabby? Or Figia?

Feeling unable to fall asleep, Gabrian got out of bed and walked to the balcony of his room. He wanted to get some fresh air.

But how surprised Gabrian when he saw that Eil was there. The girl was standing while holding the fence and staring at the lake. Ian and Eil's room was indeed facing the lake behind their house.

Gabrian looked at the girl from the side. Eil was unaware of Ian's presence. He continues to ponder.

Gabrian was about to re-enter his room but his leg accidentally nudged the chair behind him. Eil quickly looked over.

"Dian?"

"He..he...!"

The two looked at each other. Trying to talk through the eyes of each. Until finally there was a sound from inside Iel's room.

"Eil, honey, why are you standing there?"

Gabrian quickly entered his room. He decided to get a girlfriend for himself as soon as possible.

**********

Who's the girl who's finally gonna be with Gabrian? Gabby, Figia or is there another girl?

I have read this novel.

Some will comment, just unfolow because this novel is like a tangled thread. I can only say, it's your right to choose to leave. I can't force you to keep reading but I'm not happy with my novel. Sorry yes, I do like conflicts that are a bit heavy because life is not easy to live.
