You're Not a Figurant
Ch 45 - Admitting Errors

"That's impossible at..."

"How can you be sure? Did you say it directly to Khansa? That our relationship is only in-law? Did you also explain Aaron's condition?"

"That's, I'm sure parents..."

"Yet you're counting on Khansa's parents to tell her? How bad is your relationship to this kind of problem that you don't talk about clearly Al?!"

"Khansa never asked. I think he must have known."

"Al, why do you assume he knows? Why don't you tell Khansa straight?! I think your communication is very bad."

"He never asked. I also don't like to talk about my problems. Khansa doesn't like weak men. Talking about my problems is tantamount to showing my weakness."

"Whatchu mean? Why do you think Khansa is like that? Did Khansa ever say that?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"When? Are you sure he's not lying? When he saw Khansa like that, it was impossible for him to say that to Al..."

"sma Time. Do you remember I was sick for days?"

"L-yes... You're sick because of me and Aaron.." Diana's voice was soft, looking guilty.

"Wrong. I'm not sick because of you guys. Surely you're contributing, but the biggest trigger is because of him." Alex grabs Khansa's hand and kisses her.

"I-I mean Al?"

"It's actually an old story, but I don't know why I can't take the pain away. That time Khansa came to me. He said he hated me. He was close to me to use me. The thing that stuck with me the most, she hated the crybaby guy..."

"Awhile Al, I'm going to straighten it out first. So you used to be sick, weren't you because of us? But because of Khansa's words?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Diana was silent, looking stunned. Then he shouted while covering his face, "Aaakhhh!!"

Little by little his body slumped down. The open door allowed Aaron to see. Seeing Diana crouching on the floor made him immediately enter the room and embrace her in an embrace.

"Why? What was? Hem?"

"Huu..." Diana was crying. Aaron grabbed his face, "What's up? Why crying? What is this Al?"

"I don't know either. Suddenly she was crying."

"Al... Al... Sorry me... Sorry me... I-I really don't know... My behavior first. a-will affect your relationship like this... I'm sorry Al..." Diana said in a stammer. Tears flowed down her white cheeks. Aaron wiped the tears away.

"What's this about? Why crying?" asked again, but Diana still refused to answer. He was too busy crying until hard words came out of his mouth. Aaron hugged his body while rubbing his back, trying to calm the woman down.

Moments later, Aaron sits Diana on the sofa and gives her water, trying to calm the woman down. Diana's voice slowly began to disappear. Aaron and Alex looked at Diana in wonder.

"Now, can you explain why you're crying?" ask Aaron. Diana looked at Alex with fear, shame, guilt and sadness. The expression on his face seemed to deeply regret all his past deeds.

"Al... Pardon me... Excuse me... Huuu..."

"I'm sorry? What's Di for? Why are you crying like this?" Alex was getting impatient. He has to take care of Khansa, he doesn't have time to do dramas like this.

"Al... I-it seems like I-I-have been the cause of the destruction of your relationship..."

"What do you mean Di? Our relationship is like this not because of you. It's because he doesn't love me, that's all."

"But it turns out, that thought is not true. Because of me you guys became like this. Because of me, you're sick and suffering this kind of trauma. Because of me, you became this kind of person. All because of me Al!!" Diana shouted while hitting her chest. Tears kept flooding his face.

"Sshhh, baby, relax..." Aaron hugged Diana, trying to calm his heart.

"What do you mean Di?" Alex looks confused to see Diana's behavior which he thinks is too excessive.

"Dear, relax. Tell everything slowly. Don't get carried away by emotions. Remember our baby. Take a deep breath, exhale slowly...." Aaron guided Diana to calm down. Gradually the woman began to calm down, though tears still flowed down her face.

"I'm ready to listen" Alex said firmly. He had a bad feeling, it seemed like there would be something he would know. Even though he didn't know for sure, what it was about.

Diana took a few deep breaths. An expression of fear and regret was very visible on his face. Then he said, "Al, there's something I want to tell you..."

"Yes, I'm listening."

"Al... It's all my fault, totally my fault. I told Khansa to stay away... When he was in high school, he came to me. He came to me and begged us to go back. It seems like he was very worried about your condition back then. But I wickedly told him to stay away from you. My mind was so childish at the time. I don't want people who aren't at the same level as our families hanging out with us. I don't want a kid like him hanging out with our group."

"Remember how much you paid attention to it when it made me angry. How could a child like her get your attention? Therefore, I wickedly did that..."

"His hate speech towards you must also be because he wanted to do what I told him to do, which was to stay away from you. Khansa really loves you Al. He's willing to keep his pain as long as you're happy. He thinks by getting us back together, you'll be happy. I know how she feels, but I choose to be quiet. How wicked I am...When on the last day you guys should have met I blocked him..." Diana was silent for a moment, recalling all her mistakes with a look of sadness.

"Did you remember when we left the airport that day? Last day in town J*****. Khansa came at that time. She screams at your name, saying that she likes you. I know that, instead of uniting you but pretending not to know..."

"I've got karma for all the evil things I did to her. I tried to get in the way of her love, and my love was hindered as well. My little heart always wanted to apologize to her, but somehow there was no time to meet her. When I found out you guys were back together, my heart was overwhelmed with relief. I think all your misunderstandings are over. I thought you guys buried it deep and expressed feelings for each other. Seeing your condition like that, I undo my intention to tell you everything..."

"I should have done it from the beginning. I shouldn't have underestimated this from the start. Suppose I told him earlier, such a thing wouldn't have happened..."

"Khansa asked to separate for sure because she thought we had a relationship. Khansa passed out like this too probably because she saw me. It's all my fault Al, I'm sorry... Excuse me... Excuse me... Sorry..." Diana was back. Aaron hugged her and comforted her. Alex seemed at a loss for words. He was too shocked to hear all of Diana's explanations. He tried to review all of Diana's words one by one.

Khansa... Diana Khansa loved him. Andre said Khansa loved him too. Is it true what those people say?

"W-are all your words true Di?! Is it really you who told Khansa to stay away from me?!"

"Yes Al..."

"Are you sure Khansa followed me to the airport?!"

"Yes Al..."

"Are you sure he said he liked me?!"

"Yes..."

"Why didn't you say it Di?!!" Alex yelled, shocking everyone there.

"Your work!! You know I like it!! Why are you quiet?! You know the effect of this act of yours?!! I always thought Khansa hated me!! I was always afraid to be open!! I'm afraid of losing him!! And now you're just apologizing?!! What kind of friend are you?!!" Alex screaming. Diana could only cry in Aaron's arms. Totally unexpected with Alex's anger.

Apparently the noise disturbed everyone, not least Khansa who was lying on the bed. The woman opened her eyes slowly. Seeking out the origin of the sound. She found her husband angry with all the emotions that were running through him.

"Mas??" call him in a weak voice.
