You're Not a Figurant
Ch 49 - You Need to Know

"But before you decide to split up, it's good that you hear the story from his side dear. Mama didn't defend him, because Mama knew how stupid and unkempt the boy was. Mama also does not know what your problems are. But think carefully about this matter. Think from all sides. Once you are sure, decide that without regret. Whatever your decision, Mama will support you. You will always be my daughter and this little one will always be my granddaughter" Mama summed up Khansa's face with both hands, looking at her daughter-in-law's face fixedly, give understanding not to make decisions too quickly.

"Now rest. The doctor told you to get plenty of rest. We'll wait outside. If you need anything, call us right away" Mama kissed Khansa's forehead gently, and left Khansa alone in the room.

"Toy... Hoeeek... Hooeeek.." as usual, Alex spilled his guts.

"Basic fool!! Even if you want to be a father, you are still stupid!! Why is your trauma not lost anyway Nguk?!" Dino patted Alex on the back, trying to help the man to get his entrails out.

"I think that seeing you marry Khansa, it will be the beginning of your happiness. Why did it become like this? Why are you still unhappy Nguk? I'm sad to see you like this" Alex ignored Dino's words, he still continued to spit out his guts. When his body started to limp, Dino immediately wiped it and laid it on the bed. In the end his body was also infused due to lack of fluids.

Alex lay sideways, trying to hide his face from the outside world. Then his body trembled again. Dino knew that her best friend was crying again.

Dino took a deep breath. From a few dozen years ago, until now the problems of his best friend were always the same, Khansa, Khansa and Khansa. Alex can be strong because of Khansa, but he can also fall because of that woman. Khansa's influence on her was strong. And that hasn't changed until now.

Maybe it's time for Khansa to know everything?

Khansa was lying sideways. Many thoughts flashed in his head. A lot of things happened today. From Diana's confession and status, Alex's love confession as well as a meeting with her extended family. Everything becomes mixed. Making his mind float around.

Khansa admitted, her defense was a little shaky hearing Alex's love statement. Which woman's heart is unhappy when a man who is loved half the age also expresses love? It really catapulted his little heart.

But the memory of painful things reverberated in his heart, especially when it came to Alkha. It felt like his heart would never forgive Alex, no matter how much the man would change himself.

KLEK (sound of the door being opened)

Khansa pretended to close her eyes. He didn't know whose guest he was, he was just being spontaneous. He doesn't want to see anyone right now.

"Khansa, are you asleep?" Apparently Diana came. Khansa further closed her eyes, hoping that by doing so she would appear to have fallen asleep. She really did not want to meet Diana. He just wants to be alone.

"It looks like he's asleep, let's get out" a male voice sounded.

"don't want. I didn't have the confidence to apologize to her when she woke up. Just leave it like this,"

"Yes,"

"If it calms you more, I support you dear," a moment of silence, before Diana's voice rang out again.

"Khansa, I know you haven't forgiven me. Let me tell you everything. After this, both of us will be gone from your lives. We won't bother you anymore..." Diana began to tell me everything. From the beginning he was dating Alex. Alex's attitude is cold towards him but always warm towards Khansa. An indifferent attitude towards his own girlfriend, but concern for the woman he considers a friend. Alex's attitude like that makes him thirst for attention, until in the end the attention he got from an Aaron, the brother of his own girlfriend.

Diana recounts her affair with Aaron. How Alex caught their wet being together and beat Aaron all out. The brotherly relationship began to grow. And when Aaron rejects her, Diana feels unworthy and unhappy. For this reason, he does not allow others to be happy.

All his behavior was filled with malice. He did not want any woman below his level to be happy, while he was unhappy. That's why he does such cunning things.

Diana said sobbing, "I'm not asking you to forgive me, but you need to know this Khansa. Alex has liked you since High School. I feel that way. I think that liking will disappear. But it doesn't seem like it. He continues and continues to like you until that feeling turns into love. He's very sincere with you. Please take him back. Don't ask to part, because he's really going to be ruined.." a moment of silence, "That's all I want to say. I hope you will think about your decision. I don't want any regrets later on. Come on, brother, I'm done..."

"Beautiful, I also want to say something to my sister-in-law" apparently the voice of the man with Diana was Alex's older brother Aaron. Khansa closed her eyes. His body became stiffer than before.

"Hai Khansa, um sister-in-law? How good would I call you? Khansa what sister? Hmm..."

"A call you feel comfortable with, sister," Diana's voice interrupted.

"Oh well, I'll call Khansa then. Hi Khansa, my name is Yuan Aaron Seanan. Hah, it really doesn't matter either do you know my name, well anyway I'm Alex's brother. We are just two brothers. He's three years younger than me,"

"I want to apologize here. Because of my behavior, Alex's attitude became like that. He used to be a smart, confident, cheerful and friendly young man. Like teenagers in general. But because of the mistakes I made, he became a more private person. Especially after she saw our affair,"

"He's no longer the Alex I know. He was more silent. Work with books without wanting to know the surrounding environment. For many long years, I never once saw him close to a woman. I think he's behaving like that must be because of the trauma I've caused. I feel so guilty. I've taken her boyfriend. That feeling made me unable to accept Diana completely. If making her come back with Diana would make her happier, I would do it,"

"Things like that fill my head. I wonder how to get them back together and make my sister happy? Until finally the opportunity came to me unexpectedly. I had a terrible accident that put me in a coma,"

"At that moment I regretted, why didn't I just die? That way my sister and my lover will be back together and they will be happy. I have no desire to live. But the unexpected news came, Diana was pregnant with my son. I felt so happy, I immediately wanted to move on,"

"But the feeling disappeared instantly as soon as I remembered my sister. How can I be happy when my sister is unhappy? My desire to live is gone, too,"
