LIEGE
CONFESSIONS

Erina that morning woke up feeling troubled. Yesterday he visited Daffa's house. There he is greeted by Irwan, Rinda and Boy. What about Mira? Smiling but looking forced. He dodged when Erina wanted to hug him. Erina's heart ached being treated like that. Not long ago he had just felt grateful to meet the family who welcomed him warmly. But the meeting this time felt colder even though Irwan and Boy tried to invite him to talk.

The Flashback

"Erin, welcome to our modest home," Irwan greeted as Erina entered their home. "I hope you feel comfortable here."

"Ah, you could. A house this big is simple. What's the news of Erin's house being smaller than this" Erina replied after kissing Irwan's hand.

"Ah, you're good at low."

"Om too."

"Well, where's mom?" asked Daffa when he did not see his mother welcome their presence.

"Your mother is in the kitchen with Rinda. It looks like it's cooking."

"Daf, can I come help Aunt Mira cook?" ask Erina.

"Are you sure Erin can cook?" asked Boy who had welcomed him since.

"Hehehe. That's why Erin wants to help as well as learn to cook on aunt Mira." Erina looks embarrassed.

Have you ever imagined the tomboy girl model Erina suddenly acting shy? Never crossed Daffa's mind, Erina was able to behave like that. Another thing that made Daffa curious. Whether he can conquer or even change the tomboyish nature of Erina. So that the mother can accept it more.

"Come, I'll take you to the kitchen."

Arriving in the kitchen Erina sees Mira and Rinda busy cooking food that looks like Hainan rice. Hmm. Just looking at it has aroused my taste, inner Erina.

"Good afternoon aunt, good afternoon Rinda," said Erina kindly.

"Eh, there's Erin's sister. When did you come, brother?" Rinda welcomed Erina's greeting kindly. "Why don't you tell me you want to play here?"

"Intentionally Rin, let's not be troublesome."

"It's just that you came suddenly like this to make us bother," said Mira coldly. There was no more warmth in his speech or speech.

"I'm sorry that Erin's arrival is sudden." Erina approached Mira about to regret it.

"What are you doing here? You just sit in the living room. This kitchen is already quite full with the presence of Rinda and her fat stomach. Your addition makes your aunt not free to move."

"Mother..."

"Mother's mom's wrong?" asked Mira coldly. "Make what people who can't cook get into the kitchen. Just make it tough."

"Tante, Erin wants to help aunty and learn to cook."

"You suddenly came without any preparation and wanted to help? Sorry, I don't want my family to have food poisoning."

"Mother!" reprimanding Daffa was a little harsh that made the others flinch.

"Mas, how about you?" reprimand Rinda after missing her shock. Meanwhile Erina just fell silent not knowing what to do.

"Mother is Erin."

"Daf, aunt Mira is right. My presence here is not helpful but disturbing. Maybe next time Erin learns to cook from aunt Mira. It looks like the cooking is ripe."

"Rin... "

"No, Erin is self-conscious. Just shut you guys up ahead."

"Erin help set the table. If just arranging the table Erin sure will not make a aunt's family enter IGD," said Erina relaxed even though her heart aches are treated like that by Mira. Patience Rin, this is just beginning.

"Can you?" ask Mira a little ketus. He did not believe Erina did not back down even though she was treated coldly and ketus.

"If you just set the table, Erin can aunt. I used to learn table manner when visiting the granda house."

"Come on Rin, we have the dining table ready," Daffa asked as he pulled Erina's hand. "Bun, if tired and need to call us yes."

Flashback off

Just as Erina was about to step into the bathroom, suddenly her phone rang. There was a ringtone that Erina set as a call marker from Ardian.

"Hello.. What's up?"

"Not using greetings?"

"Sama elo mah do not need to use all stale bases. What's the matter early in the morning on my phone?"

"Jogging yuk's. That's the drift."

"Tumbens. No promises with Giana?"

"Oh, is that really breaking up? Not just a break-up exercise."

"Destroyed training? Where's anyone going out on break-up practice."

"Yes, maybe you want to make a new trend." Erina laughed at hearing her own words.

"S***n! How's it? Want to jog together, right? There are no promises with Daffa, right?"

"Daffa is out of town. Just left at dawn."

"Yes already, I'm picking up elo." Without much more words, Ardian cut off the conversation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Di, do you think I should go on or not?" asked Erina after they finished the drive. Now they are enjoying their lunch.

"Why is it suddenly like this? Are you sure you are not?"

"Gue sure. But.... "

"What makes you so sure about him?"

"He's different."

"Oh yeah?"

"I'm sure I'm comfortable with him."

"Where is it more comfortable, with him or with me?" ask Ardian suddenly. Erina looked astonished at the question.

"Lo's a strange question."

"What's so weird? I and him are both guys."

"Yes I know. But the comfort I get from you two is different. Can't be compared."

"Rin, how come you never looked at me as a guy?"

"Elo why the hell? How come it's so absurd all of a sudden?"

"No absurd. I've been asking questions for a long time, but I've always delayed."

"Elo is my best friend. Maybe even, that elo is like a brother to me. Surely the comfort I get with elo is different from when I was with Daffa."

"But my feelings are now changing Rin. I can no longer look at you as a friend or sister. We have no blood relation."

"You mean?"

"Rin, I love you." The atmosphere was suddenly silent between them after Ardian said the three sacred words. But shortly afterwards Erina laughed.

"I love you too," Erina replied after her laugh was over. The answer that made Ardian wild.

"Really's? Do you want to marry me?"

"Wow... I guess we're talking about different kind of love." Erina started to get drunk after hearing the continued words coming out of Ardian's mouth.

"But you said, you love me too."

"Off course I love you, as a friend or brother maybe. Not as a man."

"Rin, I'm serious. I love you elo." Ardian looks serious.

"Please Di, my problem and Daffa has not been resolved. Don't add to my problems with your love statement and invitation to get married."

"Will you still accept Daffa as a future husband if you know his past?"

"What past time? Elo always mentioned the matter without giving an explanation," Erina murmured.

"Elo haven't asked Daffa?" Erina shakes.

"Gue didn't want to push him. If he was serious about me, he should have told me that without asking."

"What if he doesn't dare to be frank?"

"Maybe it's better I don't know his past. The most important thing for me is that he can accept me for who I am."

Ardian sighed in annoyance. It seemed that it would not be easy for him to shift the position of Daffa who had started to fill Erina's heart space.
