So Many Times
TWENTY-FIVE


...I wanted to be selfish this time, I was tired of covering up my feelings on the basis of friendship. Loving without revealing...


...It's making me tired....

Dareel POVs


"Dwin, edwin... " I tried patting him on the cheek and checking edwin's pulse, thank God edwin is still alive. I immediately called an ambulance and also Dion.


But I was surprised again because it was not far from my current position. There was also a rion covered in blood lying by holding a gun in his hand. What really happened is why there were three people lying with severe injuries here.


*


I stood in front of the operating room staring at the closed door. Not long after that Dion came with aunt mira, mama edwin.


"Dareel, what's wrong? How's edwin? Edwin, Oh my God... " Aunty mira sat down and cried looking blankly at the operating room, where edwin and Rion were being critical.


"Tante, relax... Edwin's fighting in there, he's safe, edwin's a strong man. Don't cry aunt... " I hugged aunt mira, tried to calm her down.


Really, I can't bear to see a mother crying like this. Me and Dion are so close to edwin and aunt mira, aunt mira is like a mother to me and dion.


"Edwin.. Oh my God, my son." Isak aunty mira. I kept saying the words to calm aunt mira. I looked at Dion who was now standing next to the operating room door, his face looking very worried, just like me.


When I thought aunt mira was getting better, I stood up and approached Dion, "There are five people who have been caught, they are papa edwin competitors in the company. But for the rion problem, I don't know, rion's wound is the most severe. Gunshot wound to the stomach and loss of a lot of blood" Dion said.


"Gue's getting more convinced, not rion." I looked at Dion who was now looking at me confusedly as well. "But there's a gun in Rion's hand, is it possible that Rion was one of the men?" Dion asked, I just kept quiet, it's really confusing.

Almost three hours of operation went by, when the surgery door opened out the doctor, "The operation was successful, brother edwin and brother rion will be moved to the hospital room. But for now, the condition of brother rion is not too stable so we have to monitor him more often." The doctor told us.


"Okay, doctor, thank you." Said aunty mira beside me. A few minutes later, Edwin and Rion were bedridden to be moved to the hospital room. Thankfully edwin's critical time has passed.


Now I look at aunt mira who is in front of the hospital talking to some police, aunt mira was very hit with this incident.


Plus the death of papa edwin, right, an hour ago papa edwin breathed his last because of lack of blood and gunshot wounds in his chest. Aunt Mira was so devastated that she was unconscious, so much that she loved the man who constantly hurt her.


Ah yes, I have to contact alana, from yesterday I have not contacted her. Tutt tutt. why he didn't take my call, what's the matter now.


Alana POVs


I deliberately did not receive any phone calls, including Dareel or papa. Papa just called me to take care of his overseas departure.


But since yesterday I kept calling Ethan but he didn't pick up my calls at all, didn't even read my messages. That's how angry he is...


"Al, eat... " Speak nattali approached me with a tray of fried rice and orange juice. "Maybe Ethan needs time to understand his feelings again, it's al, don't get too thought out. Like not knowing ethan." Nattali rubbed my arm.


Why all of a sudden I miss dareel so much, belung dareel called me but I ignored, I do not want to talk to him at this time. I didn't even go back to the apartment, I stayed at Nattali's.


*


As I was about to go to sleep, I was humming like ethan's voice downstairs. I quickly went downstairs and right, ethan was talking to nattali.


"Did the wound on alana's leg have improved? I'm so worried, but I can't see him." Ethan's words that were heard by me, it seemed like the two of them were unaware of my presence behind them.


"Bego really lo, you know that alana's feet blistered, but lo justin he walk from the apartment lo until the front pager. He sleeps in my room, from yesterday he's crying mute." I saw Nattali hit Ethan's arm, I smiled, it turns out that ethan is still worried about me.


"My feet are healed, they're dry." I said from behind and approached them. But Ethan stood up and went, "sister, where are you going? Keep avoiding me?" I stopped Ethan by stretching out my hand in front of him.


"Why worry about me and come here if you don't want to talk to me?" I stared at the fierce ethan who was now taking his eyes off me.


"I don't need an apology from my sister, but please, pick up my phone. As soon as I reply to my message, how old are we still craving gini-rich?" I spoke to myself without any answer from this man in front of me.


"Who will apologize to you?" Ethan answered briefly and walked past me. "It's okay, my blistered legs were not as painful as when my sister snapped me yesterday" I said half-screaming.


"You know I'm most afraid of people who talk out loud, my brother doesn't even allow me to explain everything" I said quietly behind Ethan.


"I'm sorry, because I hurt you all this time. I never knew how you felt, I could never understand how you felt, but really. Brother is like my brother, you matter to me" I stared at Ethan who was now glued to me.


"Brother?" ethan laughed out loud in front of me, "Alana? Can I ask you to love me?" Ethan asked, looking at me with me.


"May I ask you to look at me and learn to love me? Give me a space in your heart, can you do that?" Ethan looked at me as if demanding an answer.


"Look..you just keep quiet, because you are already fully owned by Dareel." said ethan pressed the word completely, I do not know what to answer.


"I want to be selfish this time, I'm tired of covering up my feelings on the basis of friendship. Loving without revealing is so tired of me, now I want you to know everything even though friendship will be ruined after this." Ethan looked into my eyes with a disappointed look.


"Sister. "I shed tears again. "No need to apologize or explain anything, love me or lose me." Ethan turned his back on me, about to leave.


"Can't we just stay friends and be together without using the feelings you mean?" I held onto Ethan's hand which felt very cold.


"There is no such thing as a friendship that is lived by loving each other, I can no longer love you on the basis of friendship, I want to love you like a lover. And from now on... I'll make things clear, we start to learn to love each other or we end it all." Ethan took my hand and left.


I tried to chase after him and called out to ethan but nattali held me back, "Alana, stop, alana." Nattali hugged me and rubbed my back soothingly


"How can I choose two things that I cannot choose..." I cried in the arms of nattali, ending the friendship with ethan? For God's sake, I never imagined it, I don't want to lose a friend like Ethan.


And to love her, how can I be with Ethan, when I love Dareel so much. That would only make Ethan even more hurt. I can't love Ethan but I can't end the friendship with him either.


I re-entered the room after calming down with nattali, ah yes. I checked my phone, right there were a lot of calls from the dareel that I did not answer. All right I'll call her, no. My voice still sounds as excited, just send a message then.
