Two Faces One Love
A Sacrifice

"Sister, how's the decision?"

Alexa who was enjoying a cup of coffee looked at her cousin.

"I'll be there a little more. Oliver must have been waiting for me. As for my decision, I can't get divorced, Ian. I promised God I would love Oliver for the rest of my life. This is a trial in our marriage. My kids love their papa very much. I can't imagine them growing up without Oliver beside them."

Gabrian could only take a deep breath.

"Sir Eca, I will always support whatever your decision is."

Alexa held Ian's hand. "Thank you, Ian. Now, I'm gonna get ready first."

"I'll take you, brother."

"Thank you."

30 Minutes later, Gabrian and Alexa were already in Fairy Garden.

Alexa can see that Oliver's not sleeping at all. His face was extremely pale and there was a black circumference in his eyes.

The four of them sat in the living room facing each other.

"Oliver, I will never divorce you because I promised to remain in the frame of our household until death do. I also don't want my children to lose the affection of papa and his mother. Because I've been through that and it hurts so much to be the child of a divorce."

"Thank you dear." Oliver said with a relieved smile.

"But I can't ignore the child in Andrea's stomach either. That's why I allowed Oliver and Naura to..."

"Good day....!"

Everyone looked towards the entrance. Zelina and Keegan with Alana come in.

Alana was surprised to see Gabrian there.

"Daddy.... Mommy..?" Andrea was surprised.

"What is this, Andrea? Why do you have to hide such a disgrace?" zelina shouted without being able to hold back her tears. "What scandal will this cause with your behavior? How will the government explain to all the people?" Zelina is hysterical.

"Darling...., calm down!" Keegan hugged his wife. He looked at Andrea sharply. "Why didn't you tell us, Andrea?"

Andrea immediately stood up and hugged her papa's legs. "I'm sorry, daddy. I'm so scared."

"You're gonna dump Andrea! Whatever we do will not save you. The royal elders will definitely not be able to defend you. Unless you get married and temporarily get away from here." Keegan said with a sad heart.

"How can he possibly marry and save our good name while the man is already married..Ah Andrea, what can we do?".Zelina's cry deepened.

"I'll marry her."

Everyone was shocked to hear what Gabrian said.

"Who are you?" ask Keegan.

"I, Gabrian Dawson, your majesty."

"Why do you want to marry my son?" Keegan asked back.

"First because I want to save my sister's marriage. Second because I want Andrea not to be expelled from the royal family. And the third, to save the fate of the child who was in Andrea's stomach because the child was actually innocent." Gabrian answered with confidence.

Zelina looked at Gabrian. "really? You want to do all that?"

"Yes. My cousin and her husband loved each other. Actually they are a happy family with 2 hearts that are growing so healthy. I can't let them separate because of this."

"Gabrian! How can you possibly take on this much responsibility?"'Alexa prevents her from standing up and holding Gabrian's hand.

"I have to, brother. Not just for you. But also for Andrea."

"You don't have to take responsibility for Andrea. Oliver has to do that. I was gonna say that I'd be willing if Oliver did have to marry Andrea until the boy was born." Alexa and success made Oliver surprised. He looked at Alexa in disbelief.

While Alana felt pain in her chest. How could the man she loved marry her twin sister?

Zelina was surprised to hear that they could speak Indonesian. "You're Indonesians?"

Alexa and Gabrian nodded.

"Where is the man who impregnated my son?" ask Zelina again.

"I " replied Oliver despite glancing at Alexa at a glance. She was so afraid that her every word would hurt Alexa.

"And this is your wife?" Zelina pointed at Alexa.

Zelina could not hold back her tears. He understood with Zelina's heart. She looked at Andrea. Her heart was broken considering the future Andrea had to go through. The government regulations are very strict. Although Keegan is king, family traditions must be maintained. Then Zelina's view turned to that of the Gabrians. The man looked good and educated. But getting married without love, isn't that stupid? Zelina remembers, the man she loved so much, proposing to her when she found out that Zelina was sick. But Zelina decided not to continue the wedding ceremony because she knew that the man's heart was not hers. And Zelina didn't want to live together out of pity. Zelina wants to share the same love. God eventually meets Keegan. The man who loved her and the one she loved. Love Keegan erases Zelina's old love. He's happy now.

"Gabrian, marrying my son, means you made a very big sacrifice. You'll admit a child that's not yours. You're gonna spend your days with the woman you don't love." Zelina looked at Gabrian softly. Is there such a good man today? When viewed from the look of Gabrian, he was not an ordinary person who wanted to take advantage through this marriage.

"If this is a destiny written for me, I will live it." Reply Gabrian steady. Without realizing it, Alana's heart was getting hurt. It felt like the girl was yelling to reject Gabrian's wish but Alana just harbored it herself. He thought about Andrea's future.

"Dan, you don't go crazy! What will Aunt Giani say with this decision of yours? Let Oliver take responsibility in my own way. I don't want to involve you in this matter." Alexa half-whispers trying to foil Gabrian's crazy plan that wants to involve himself with something he's not responsible for.

"Sister, I'm doing all this not just for sister, but I feel called to help Andrea. It's also for my own good."

"What kindness?"

Gabrian came closer and whispered in Alexa's ear. "For I can forget Eilaria and let her be happy with Iel."

Alexa surprised. His suspicions have been right all along. Ian likes Eil. "Dian....." Alexa shakes. He hugged his cousin while crying. "But to forget it, not in this way."

"It has to be this way, brother. Because Eil is on the brink of unbounded worry. I have to return his heart just for Iel."

Keegan looked at Gabrian. "Are you Beryl Dawson's son?"

"No. My father's name is Jeronimo Dawson. Beryl Dawson is my papa's cousin. Your Majesty knows Uncle Beryl?"

Keegan nodded. "Beryl and I worked together on a palace garden 3 years ago." Keegan breathes a sigh of relief. He knew that Gabrian was not a random person. The Dawson family is one of the most famous families in England. They also belonged to noble families.

"I want to talk." Andrea who had been silent since then finally opened her voice. He knew that hoping to be with Oliver was impossible. Since seeing Alexa yesterday, Andrea's feelings have always been haunted with guilt. Andrea is not an actor. He doesn't want to hurt women as good as Alexa. He regretted always asking Oliver to come to see him in London.

"Speak, son." Keegan. He was also sad to think about his son's fate.

"If indeed Gabrian Dawson wants to marry me to save my fate in the kingdom of Flowers, I accept it. Because I can't take responsibility for Oliver. But I want this marriage to only run for 1 year. A few months after I gave birth, I wanted a divorce from Gabrian. Because I can't make him take responsibility for my life. Gabrian must have had other dreams with the woman he loved."

"But marriage is not a game." Zelina said while shaking her head.

"Mommy, we can't drag Gabrian into a marriage he doesn't want. Gabrian will sacrifice something in vain. I can't love him either because my heart belongs to another man." Andrea tried to convince her parents. Deep in his heart Andrea already felt love for Oliver. He knows this is wrong and he will forget all these wrong feelings. Once again, Andrea did not want to hurt the beautiful woman who became Oliver's wife.

"But, after divorce, what will your life be?" ask Keegan sadly.

"My son and I are going to America. Doesn't daddy have a house there? I will live a few years there until I can finally return to the kingdom. I'm sure the royal elders won't bother me anymore if I say that my husband divorced me. I beg dad, mom, let everything go like this. I don't want to hurt anyone." Andrea looked at Oliver. "You must also learn to forget this child. I know you're a good man, Oliver. But your love for your family, more than anything else. Forget about this kid for the good of my happy family." Andrea held back her tears. He stood up and approached Alexa. He knelt before Alexa who was still silent did not know what to talk about. Grabbed Alexa's hand and kissed her with a face full of regret.

"Sir Alexa, I'm sorry. For a moment I became selfish because of this pregnancy. But since our meeting yesterday, I've realized how evil I am to you. I promise I'll never interfere with your relationship with Oliver."

Alexa looked at Andrea. Yesterday he really hated this woman. But he realized that Andrea was not wrong either. "But Andrea, this kid....."

"This kid has nothing to do with Oliver. Because he'll bear the name Dawson instead of Pregonas." Andrea stood up and looked at Gabrian. "Thank you, Gabrian. I will not forget your kindness. I pray that God will return the sincerity of your heart. But you take it easy, I'll never tie you to this marriage forever."

Everyone in the room was silent. No one knows, the heart of Alana who had just felt love for the first time has now been hurt with unbearable pain. That love had been shattered into dust grains before it could even be revealed.

Zelina looked at her husband. It's not what she wants for her daughter's wedding. But Zelina also did not want if Andrea wasted and not allowed to enter the kingdom again if pregnant without a husband. She looked at Keegan, her beloved husband. A king who was very proud of his people. Should the tradition be broken by the members of the kingdom themselves? Keegan's wisdom as king is at stake.

"I.., I bless this marriage." Keegan said although the words that came out became very bitter on his tongue and like a needle that pierced all parts of his heart.

Alana's tears fell and quickly removed her before anyone noticed. For Andrea's sake, Alana would kill the love that had just been present in her heart. It's only been a few days, but it's very painful.

Gabrian smiling. I'll do anything to get you back to enjoying your happiness with Eil, my sister. Because if you get hurt, I'll hurt more than you.

*******"

Giani's mobile phone fell onto his carpet a second later after Gabrian finished calling him. It was like experiencing Dejavu. This is back to what happened 24 years ago. As she steps into Papa Denny's office and offers herself to be Jeronimo's wife. Will the old story repeat itself? Giani wants to say no. But Gantian's confession at the end of their conversation left Giani silent.

"I love Eilaria, mother. Loved her. She was my first love. I know now that Eilaria's feelings are divided between me and Iel. And I don't want to hurt Iel. Mother knows how much I love my sisters. Therefore, let me marry Andrea. For the happiness of Alexa, for the happiness of Iel and also for my own happiness."

Giani's tears fell. He looked at Jero who had just entered the room.

"Darling, what's wrong?" tanya Jero saw Giani's state of chaos.

Giani did not speak because he suddenly fell unconscious.

*********

Duh mom, really bad yes.kok conflict added complicated aja....

Relax, I want to teach you that in this life, we sometimes need to make sacrifices. But a sincere sacrifice will bring happiness to ourselves. Because through this story, Eilaria will know what true love is, through this story Iel will learn to let go of the most precious thing in his life. Through this story this very kind-hearted Ian would finally find a pearl that made his heart happy.

Can you shoot the end of this story???
