Two Faces One Love
While Let It Be Injured

"You mean, you're gonna divorce me, Iel?"

Gabriel shakes. "I'm just asking you to stay away. I would never divorce you if you didn't ask for it yourself. I know how the Thomson family tradition continues to be preserved to this day. But instead of you being tormented for not being able to determine who has your true heart, we better end it."

Eilaria just silently heard Iel's words. His heart is getting tighter. He knew Gabriel said it all with a wounded heart. She could see how her husband was struggling to hold back his tears.

"Mommy told me I had to be patient. I can wait until your heart and love are as much mine as when we first started dating. However, by staying between me and Ian, you will still not be able to make a choice. For the past 1 year, I've been so tormented at how you've tried to survive between me and Ian. Go, Eil. Find your heart for whom. Although I know your chances of being with Ian are closed because Ian has chosen Andrea. If it turns out you met another love, tell me, I'll take care of our divorce soon. And I'd be ready to open my heart to others if I knew you were happy."

Eilaria immediately hugged Gabriel while crying. Iel's words were all true. He was tormented by this situation. He knew it was impossible to be with Gabrian but did not want to hurt Gabriel for too long. Maybe by moving away, all the heartbreak will be able to be treated. Being alone is sometimes the best medicine to treat a liver injury.

***********

Gabrian, who had just finished his meeting, was shocked when his secretary said that Eilaria was waiting in his room. Gabrian was a bit confused as to why Eilaria was waiting for him while Gabriel had been in a meeting together and had now returned to his company.

"Eil?" Gabrian greeted her in a tone that contained the question, what exactly is the girl doing here.

"Sorry, I'm bothering you."

"No. I just finished a meeting. What's up?" he asked Gabrian and took a seat in front of his brother-in-law.

Eilaria pulled out a novel from her bag. "Gabriel gave this to me 2 days ago. My heart ached when I found out that your goal in London was to find me. Why is fate playing us like this, Ian?"

"Destiny doesn't play us, Eil. But indeed our path is like this arranged by the Owner of life. Brother, it's not wrong. He fell in love with you and didn't say who he was when you returned my novel that was left at the airport back then. You also actually fell in love with Iel not because Iel and Iel face the same but because Iel love you sincerity. It's just, the accident makes you confused and ultimately unable to determine the attitude. It was painful at first, Eil. Seeing you with Iel and burying all my dreams. But I learned to make love and always talked to myself that we are not fools."

Eilaria looked down in silence. Gabrian's words were indeed true and deeply pierced into his heart.

"Eil, I will never follow my heart that loves you even if Gabriel gives us that path. Because ever since Iel found out that I love you, I've promised myself to support my sister's happiness. I realize that love doesn't always have to have.I'm happy enough that you finally know that I've loved you."

"I'm going, Ian."

"Why?"

"I'll stay away to calm my own heart. I've hurt Iel with my shared feelings."

"You're getting divorced? Didn't Thomson's family ever have a divorce?"

"Iel said that he would never divorce me unless I wanted to."

"Iel can't divorce you, Eil. He loves you so much."

"Unfortunately that's what we decided to do together. Tomorrow I'm going to America to continue my S2 studies there."

Gabrian could only nod. "Some have told me that suffering is sometimes a bridge to happiness. I, Ian, you, am allowed by God to go through all this pain because God is actually preparing a happiness for each of us."

Eilaria. He came out of the room of Gabrian with a relieved heart. Although he is currently injured, but he believes God has prepared someone special for him. Whether it was staying with Iel or with another man, Eil knew the man would be there and was waiting for him.

**********

Eilaria's been gone a week. Gabriel himself drove him to the airport. Gabriel wanted to take Eilaria to London and explain the situation of their marriage. But Eil refused. Eil will go straight to America. He wants to continue his S2 studies soon.

Today, Gabriel sat alone in the hut behind their house. Lonely, longing, a deep sense of loss while he was experiencing. In her hand was her wedding ring with Eilaria. A very beautiful ring. But not as good as their household trip.

Tomorrow, Jero and Giani will return home from their trip. Gabriel knew that Giani would be very angry with him. Because his mother had asked Gabriel to be patient. Is Gabriel impatient? Does Gabriel not want to fight for his love for Eilaria? Actually, whenever Gabriel will be patient, Gabriel will be faithful to wait until anytime. But Gabriel finally relented because he knew Eilaria was getting tormented since Gabrian married Andrea and saw the intimacy between Ian and Andrea every day. Gabriel wants to free Eil so that he can escape all the burdens that started with his lies, then when he asks Gabrian to replace him. If only Eil had known about the accident, he would have never enjoyed being with Gabrian for months and the love of his life.

Gabrian held his wedding ring to his chest. It was reflected back when Eilaria hugged her very tightly when she was at the airport.

"I'm sorry for everything, Iel." Eilaria said as she opened the ring that was on her finger. "Save this ring. I don't deserve to wear it because I can't love you anymore in sincerity."

Gabriel received the ring with a deeply wounded heart. "I also apologize to you for being dishonest from the beginning of our meeting."

Gabriel just nodded.

"Daddy....." Eilaria waved her hand and immediately walked into the passenger's special door. Gabriel walked away with his chest getting sicker. He was really hurt to let Eil go.

"Your....!"

Gabriel's daydream has stopped. He looked to the side. Gabrian was standing there. "May I sit here?"

Gabriel nodded.

"Why did you let Eil go on the thing that you love him so much?"

Gabriel smiled. "Well, what is your heart made of until you're willing to sacrifice everything for me? You should have been honest from the start so I wouldn't hurt you by marrying Eil. You're even willing to marry Andrea who's pregnant with someone else's child to save the marriage of sister Eca and brother Oliver."

"You know what?"

"I persuaded Brother Eca to say everything because I knew you were close to Alana and not to Andrea. I've seen a picture of you with Alana that Alana sent to Eilaria."

"Eil also knew about our wedding background?"

"No. Even though I know, he was curious about your marriage which had a very sudden effect."

Gabrian took a deep breath. He looked at the lake in front of them. When they were kids, they used to bathe there. But since High School, enjoying the cold water lake they have never done again.

"So how are you going to raise a child who isn't your flesh?"

Gabrian looked at Gabriel. "I even loved him before he was born. Maybe because I always saw him grow through the USG checkup. The doctor said her gender was female. She'll definitely be as pretty as Andrea."

"And if the child were born, and you loved him, would you be able to let them go?"

Gabrian was shocked to hear Gabriel's words. Honestly, he was beginning to love the boy. He even touched Andrea's stomach several times when his son moved. Gabrian's heart was delighted at that moment. But if Andrea were to leave with the boy, Gabrian would never stop him because that is exactly what Andrea wanted.

*********

Giani was very sad to hear Eilaria had left. But he can't do anything. For her, Iel and Eil are old enough to decide what is best in their lives.

Now, Giani is focusing on Andrea. There are only 2 months left and the woman will give birth. If Eilaria is a quick familiar and a little chatty, very different from Andrea who is rather quiet. But Giani saw that Stevany was very fond of Andrea. He was even very excited to prepare all the baby equipment.

Andrea woke up with a very painful stomach. Gabrian who was temporarily preparing to head to the office, turned a glance towards Andrea.

"What's up, Andrea?"

Andrea's white face was looking increasingly pale. He looked at the side carrying his body.

"It looks like my water's broken."

"What's? But it's not time to give birth and......." Gabrian did not continue his words. He ran and called everyone.
