Between Two Love
Episode 05's.
"Relina ..."
I turned to the direction that called my name turned out to be none other than Riko's sister. I looked down and was silent and he came up to me.
" why didn't you pick up the phone last night from me?" while approaching towards me
I didn't answer I just looked down while pretending to look for the book in my bag.
" Rey answered my question "
" sorry brother but maybe it's better we don't have to meet first "I said softly
" what? what do you mean Rey? you're crazy huh, we're schoolmates what's wrong if we meet? " answers answered.
" sister Riko must understand his condition, my mother was. "had not had time for me to continue my words he kept my mouth shut so that I could not say anything.
" Reyna you should hear me too, not just your mother. Your mother is an important person in your life I know so much. But can you understand my situation?" sadly he said
" i can't without you Rey, especially if I have to stay away from you what would I be?" her tears began to fall.
As I began to tear up, I began to slowly draw long breaths. I pulled his hand and said
" i'm sorry, brother, we're new to you but I also feel very comfortable making friends with you. I decided to focus on the exam first, brother. All Riko needs to know I'm here is the village girl who came here to achieve my goals. I don't have anything, brother. Just imagine if I fail later, ..." I haven't had time to continue my explanation. He hugged me and calmed me down.
"i just want to tell Rey that I love you, no matter what or who you are. And if it's your decision I support you. Even though you don't want us to meet. I will always try to respect that decision. Maybe I'm not your goal, but I want you to succeed too." Hugging me and stroking my hair.
" i'm sorry brother "
" no need to apologize, I should be the one apologizing. Sorry I love you. Sorry I interrupted your mind. And sorry once again because I was you and mom fighting" she started taking my hand out of hers. He started walking away from me. With a face full of anger. I know he was very disappointed with my decision. But maybe that's best for us. I don't want to hurt Mom. I love mom very much. Even if I have to sacrifice my feelings.
After school I headed straight for the hill near the school. I played with dandelion flowers. I am entertaining myself there. Ana's friend who used to accompany me today didn't go to school. So today I really feel alone. I spent a long time there. I don't know why I feel lost today. Losing a good friend like Riko's sister. Maybe she's starting to hate me now. I regret not meeting him. Right now I want him to be here with me. But it was just my delusion, I told him to leave my life. Why does it hurt my heart. I feel like yelling at you to call your name Riko.
My tears are dripping, my cheeks are wet. God please strengthen me, I want to be a strong woman.
Starting in the afternoon I stepped in to go home. I saw Riko's brother across the street, he didn't see me maybe he pretended not to see me. I don't know if I'm trying to ignore it.
"have you come home, Rey? what was the test today? " greet mom at the door
" Thank God, Mom"
" you've changed your bath clothes and continue to follow mom, yes "asked her
" just come along "
After taking a shower and getting ready I immediately followed mom in the room.
" i'm ready, ma'am "
" yes let's go"
Soon we got somewhere.
" you just wait here yeah, I'm going in"
I nodded my head and sat on the porch of the house. I don't know whose house this is.
" Beautiful today living in the city is expensive, especially if you only rely on capital from the village. Especially looking for a job here , have what diploma are you?" I overheard an old mother and father conversation there. I let out a long sigh, it turns out that my mother has no more expenses here. The lack of finances made me even more confused. I wanted to quit school and find a job.
Mom came out and took me home. I pretended not to know and asked
" what's mom doing?" much
" abis asked for a rented house here" he replied
I nodded my head, mother always covered her problems from me. I know that our finances are running low, ma'am, but why don't you ever want me to know that she's tough.
His face looks ordinary. She is the toughest woman. He never complained even though he was in a lot of trouble. How is it possible if I have to hurt or disappoint my mother who is too good for me. I hugged him tightly and kissed him.
" you're why Rey doesn't usually "ask mom in wonder
" i love you, Mom" I replied
" sure love same mother, if same Riko?" mom teased me
" what the hell ma'am, I've decided not to connect again with her Mom "my reply was sad
I just nodded my head and smiled at me.
" mom will always fight for your success Rey "
