Xena
103. Telling me everything

Xena had arrived first at the restaurant, he asked Citra to prepare food for the three of them later in Xena's private room.

On Vano's side, he had gone home from work, he immediately took a shower and prepared and met his sister to immediately leave for the restaurant.

Now Vano and Olive are in front of the restaurant, after saying that he has an appointment with Xena. The waiter drove him to the boss's private room.

"Boss, your guest has arrived" the waiter told Xena.

"Thank you mbak" Xena replied politely

"Let's go in Liv, brother Vano. Please sit down" Xena said with a gentle smile.

Vano who saw that gentle smile his heart was beating fast. She misses that smile so much, the smile that Xena always gave her.

"Hai Xe" Vano greeted with a gentle smile as well

"Hey brother, how's brother?" ask Xena politely

"Pretty good" Vano replied staring fixedly at Xena.

Xena knew that gaze, yet she did not bother returning her gaze and turned to Olive. Although he already did not hate Vano but he did not want Vano to expect more.

"How's Liv's leg?" tanya Xena turned to Olive.

"It's better Xe, thanks" Olive replied smiling.

"Well, this room is so big and beautiful. We can see the view from this big window" Olive said amazed.

"Yes, this is my private room, if you want you can come at any time. Let's order food first, we have to eat and replenish our energy before talking a lot" Xena chuckled.

"You can just ha-ha" Olive laughed.

"This is my menu, do not hesitate to order" said Xena thrust the menu to Vano.

"Thank you Xe" said Vano softly.

He felt happy that Xena was no longer flat with him.

Actually Xena has managed to organize her heart since Ray's presence. He is no longer traumatized by being close to Vano, so he can relax when talking to Vano.

They then order some favorite menu that is a lot in the message of people because it tastes very delicious. They also chatted lightly while waiting for the food to come.

"Liv, are you so I'll pick up the day after tomorrow?" ask Xena

"So dong, we have to be the leading supporter for Arsy so that he is excited and defend his title" said Olive enthusiastically.

"If that's what I pick up early, let's take a walk there first. Culinary tourism first" said Xena

"Nyari jajanan ha-ha-ha" Olive said.

Before long their meal came, the waiter arranged the delicious meal on the table. Olive saw it almost drooling. Then he took his phone and took many pictures of the food he would post to his social media.

Xena just chuckled at Olive's behavior, which is basically Olive is a Foodie, so she was not surprised because of that.

The three of them ate voraciously, once in a while they threw compliments about the cuisine they ate.

"Xe.." Vano's voice broke the silence after the three finished eating.

"Yes, sister" said Xena

"I'm sorry for not being able to accept that you're with someone else, if you're sure of your choice with Ray. Big brother can't ban it, but can you tell why you gave up on your feelings for big brother halfway? So that you can convince yourself to stop loving you" asked Vano.

Olive remained silent, she became the listener here, she couldn't get out either because Xena wanted her to stay where she was sitting at the moment.

Xena sighed as she could no longer dodge. He also does not want Vano to continue to hope for him even though he has rejected him several times.

Maybe Vano's subconscious realized that there was still a reason for him and he couldn't stop. So Xena decided to be honest with both of them.

"Alright, I'll explain to the two of you the reason" Xena turned to look at Olive and Vano alternately.

Both of them just kept waiting for Xena to continue her words.

"Well, I don't really want to say this, but because you feel like something's stuck. I'll tell you something" Xena said.

"Believe it or not, I've had a special situation. Where I've lived another life, I don't know what this is called reincarnation or if this is just a long dream I've had" Xena said.

"In my life at the time, I still loved Vano as much as I always did. My love is so great for my brother that my brother always ignores me, but my love never wears off at all. Until finally Olive died because she was harassed and then killed. I felt lost back then, I fell so bad that I didn't want to eat for days" Xena looked at Olive with a sad look.

Although Olive doesn't understand what this is about dreams or anything else Xena's telling me. But Olive felt pain as well when Xena said that.

"Until I finally got up again, before long Brother Vano approached me. And my family was about to go bankrupt and it was your family who injected funds and betrothed me to brother Vano. I felt happy then, I was the happiest person to be married to the person I loved back then. But.." said Xena closed her eyes to be able to continue the story.

Vano gasped to hear it, he felt restless, because he also had a dream that kept bothering him.

"At that time me and brother Vano were married for two years, I wonder why after marriage his attitude changed not even hesitate to slap and yell at me. Until finally I found brother Vano with Yani in one room struggling" said Xena again.

Vano's body trembled hearing that, he lowered his head and closed his eyes. He prayed that the ending would not be what he imagined.

"Not to be sorry, Brother Vano hit me, kicked me, hit my head against the wall and lastly he shot me right in the chest. I'm not strong anymore. I-i... hiks...." Xena couldn't help but cry, the pain was back. Pain was felt before his death.

"That feeling is very real, I feel the pain so clearly. Tightness, pain in the head, chest and also my heart. Even though at that time brother Vano realized his mistake and knew who the real culprit was none other than Yani. But it was too late, because I died then.

I woke up again in the 4 years before my own death, I don't know what happened it was a dream or what, but it felt so real, the pain still I clearly remember the torment.... I'm sorry, Liv... I can't love Vano anymore after I feel that. I was determined to give up.

And Ray's presence has been a cure for me. The trauma of the pain slowly begins to go away because of the love and attention he gave. That made me melt down and finally feel like I was falling in love with someone again and that was Ray" Xena said
