When the Inca became the Inca
59
The Inca were surprised to hear Niskala's words, but he knew that one day both Niskala, Kanigara and his family would know all the secrets he kept. He just didn't expect Niskala would come and ask about it so soon.
Inka prepared to answer a question from her sister-in-law. He knew that that night, he had to answer honestly Niskala's question because he felt that the man in front of him knew something.
"I don't mean to keep anything a secret, brother, it's my fight! I just didn't say anything because I didn't want to involve anyone else and get him hurt" the Inca said.
Niskala let out a heavy sigh and stared fixedly at the Inca.
"Are we someone else to you? Asher, Kanigara and me?" niskala asked which made the Inca speechless. He would never have told Niskala the truth. Any man would say that the Inca must have been hallucinating or mentally disturbed.
He did not want to risk where his opponent would take advantage of such an opportunity to keep the Inca and his family away. He did not want the incident where Kanigara thought he had a mental disorder to repeat again, if he told everything to Niskala because Niskala would definitely tell it to Kanigara.
"Still not sharing secrets with your sister?" niskala asked as if she could see the contents of the Inca mind.
"What if you share a secret with you?" niskala said and began to tell the story that made the Inca turn their backs and did not expect that such a thing would happen to Niskala.
"Sister, no more bragging?" tanya Inka made sure that made Niskala laugh.
"You think?" niskala asked with a face that the Inca could not read. Inka weighed in her heart first, before answering the sister-in-law.
"Real?!" said the doubting Inca that made Niskala laugh. Niskala did not answer the ambiguous words that came out of the mouth of the girl who had become her sister-in-law. He simply stroked the Inca's head gently, leaving the private room of the Inca.
"Ask Gianna!" It was the only clue given by Niskala that made the Inca directly contact his best friend.

"What?! How long have you known, Mom? Why not a story?!" inca exclaimed as her call connected with Gianna.
"Oh my goodness, don't wear a tereak either! My earache!" yelling Gianna while keeping the phone in her hand so as not to hear the blaring Inca screams. Gianna told the Incas everything, which left them reeling.
He did not think that all this time he was not alone, Niskala helped him a lot. Niskala turned out to continue to pay attention to the Inca's movements during this time. He had no idea that his brother-in-law had known his secret in the first place.
"So why didn't you ever tell me, Mom? Niska suddenly came into my room, kept wondering about our secret!" The words of the Inca made Gianna feel guilty and apologized to her friend, then told her that it was Niskalah who asked Gianna to remain silent. Niskala said that he was still waiting for the honesty of the Inca.
Inka did not know what to say to hear the words of her friend. He felt that this time, he had to tell Niskala the truth, whatever reaction her brother-in-law would give. The Inca knew that he could no longer hide the truth that he had been covering up all this time.
"Alright, I'll tell you everything" said the Inca, which made Niskala smile. The Inca told all of his stories, from his first life to his second. Niskala listened to the Inca in silence. He did not cut the explanation from the sister-in-law at all. He patiently waited until the Inca had finished telling him the story.
After the Inca was over, Niskala stood up and approached the Inca, then hugged the girl tightly while apologizing for her first life, Niskala did not help the Inca trouble at all until the Inca were forced to die by being burned alive in their villa.
The Inca let go of all her pain by crying in Niskala's arms. He felt all the burdens on his shoulders, as if lifted after the Inca had been honest with Niskala. He knew that he needed Niskala's help to achieve his goal.
Niskala was the right person to share all the anxiety she had felt all along. The Inca had once thought of being honest with Niskala and making her sister-in-law her ally. The Inca felt that this was a good time to ask for help from others whom he knew cared deeply about.
Niskala tried to calm the Inca, after the Inca calmed down, they chatted for a while, before the Inca finally returned to her room.
Arriving in the room, Inca found that her husband was waiting for her presence. The Inca was a little clumsy from getting a strange look from a Kanigara.
"Where are you from? I'm looking for you in your room, but you're not there!" ask Kanigara who looks cold. It made the Inca feel a little strange because usually Kanigara has always been warm to him lately, but the gaze Kanigara showed at that time was an accusatory look, which made the Inka feel uncomfortable.
"I'm new from the park, baby. I felt a little tired so I tried to get some fresh air outside. What's your brother looking for me?" the Inca tried to be relaxed even though he felt guilty to Kanigara for lying. But the Inca knew he couldn't possibly tell Kanigara the truth.
Niskala has promised to keep the secret from anyone including Kanigara.
Kanigara continued to look at the Inca with a cold gaze that made the Inca feel even more uncomfortable. The Inca did not know what exactly caused the change in her husband because after dinner, the husband still remained gentle to the Inca.
"Darling, is there anything that bothers you? Why do you feel like you look different? Did I make a mistake?" ask Inca to be sure, because she does not want any more misunderstandings to occur between her and Kanigara. He wanted to be more open to Kanigara because he wanted her and her husband to get to know each other.
Inka did not want people like Leticia to interfere with her married life, when she saw there was an empty space between herself and Kanigara, which could be used as a tool to break up their relationship again.
The Inca wanted her married life to be far from a dispute. She wants to build a romantic relationship with her husband. Kanigara looked at the Inca in silence, he let out a long sigh, before he finally revealed what was on his mind.
"Why are you lying? I just saw you coming out of Niskala's room, can you explain what really happened?"
Degs...
