So Many Times
THIRTY-THREE
...I should have stopped when I realized I was no longer an option, but realized I was too late. And now I have to endure double the pain. But it's okay, at least I can still wake up....

Dareel POVs
"Are you thinking about my words from now on?" Ask me, open the car door for Alana. "Which word?" Alana smiled at me. "Ah, yes... That was right? You want me to change the password of the phone using your name," said alana still with her ignorant smile.
"Dareel, please lah-this is what year? And you still behave old-fashioned like that?" Alana shook her head, looking at me in wonder. "You said once? Even today's children if dating is like that, al. They changed all the passwords to their spouses' names." I explained to Alana.
No, I mean not so, I don't want to do anything like that either. Turning all the ciphers into our partner's name, isn't that a little exaggerated? However, what I asked from alana was that she changed my name on her phone.
On alana's phone, my name is stored not 'Dareel' but 'Lala&kiki' father'. I-I mean it's okay to keep my number with that name. But I want my name saved with a sweet name.
Like other couples who name their lover contact with 'Babe', 'Darling', 'My love' even 'My future' or something like that. I also keep Alana's number with the name 'My world', very sweet is not it.
But... do you know what alana did after seeing her number with that sweet name? He instead replaced it with his usual name 'ALANA'. Gosh... Isn't that so stiff?
"Then?" Alana answered me. "Change my name on your phone!" I stared at Alana, and a few seconds later she laughed so hard. "No, that's so much, '" replied alana again walking into the house.
"I gave you a name in my contact 'My World'-, '" I said behind alana. "And I've replaced it, it's ridiculous." Cut alana fast, shudder in front of me.
"That's very sweet, alana. You can't cheat, you lost and as agreed you have to comply with my request. And here's my request, change my name on your phone to 'My Boy'." My words reminded alana that she must accept her defeat.
"What's? 'My boy'? Are you crazy, dareel?" Alana asked with her gel face, I nodded in response. "Eeemm... What if another request? I mean a yang-" request Alana came up to me and bit her lower lip.
Oh, my God, I know what this means. "Kiss? Or-" said alana blinking her eyes. "No, I know you're still tired from last night." I rubbed alana's cheek which was currently pursing her lips.
"Alana-" The voice of a man is heard behind Alana's body. Alana looked back, "Sir ethan?" Alana was surprised. I stared fiercely at the man who claimed to be alana's best friend but loved alana very much.
Ethan smiled at Alana and walked over to us. I clasped alana's hand tightly, and advanced in front of her to put a boundary between ethan and alana. "What are you doing here?" Ask ethan.
"Do I have to tell you everything I have to do here?" He asked me back, but his gaze was on Alana. "Where? Don't you want to tell me anything?" Ethan asked alana.
I stared into Ethan's eyes as I stared at Alana. I am also a man and I know the meaning of that look. The feeble gaze when faced with a loved woman and the injured gaze were very clear from Ethan's eyes.
Alana let go of my hand and walked over to Ethan. "Allana... " I grabbed her arm slowly, alana turned to face me and smiled gesturing that everything would be fine.
"Well I'll give you some time, call me if anything happens." I whispered to alana then stared intently at Ethan. It's not that I don't trust alana, I trust her so much.
It's just that I'm too scared to lose Alana again. Ethan, he's the guy who spent five years with Alana when I wasn't around. I massaged the base of my nose and then ran the car, hopefully Alana really accepts me.
I really want to hug Alana, but still I have to remember the original purpose of coming here is to straighten out all the problems. I also know that Dareel is here, but I have to keep coming to get things done.
"Kak--" said alana will make a sound. "Wait, I used to talk. You're quiet-alana-god," I stammered as I was about to start this conversation. Either the happiness of meeting alana after almost three months has passed or the sadness of tau alana going because of my selfishness.
"Have you been okay for three months?" The first question I asked alana. "Yes, I'm fine. You-" replied alana. "No, I'm not okay. I'm not doing very well, alana." I stared at Alana.
"Sister.sorry, sorry for not telling you where I've been these three months," alana looked at me. "I know, al. The reason you came here and didn't tell me, I know everything, but-this all makes me feel guilty." I said shiver.
"True you said, I shouldn't ruin our friendship for a love that will only end when desired. I-I'm too selfish, I've made our friendship so tenuous. And even I hurt you." I stared at Alana who was just listening to me.
"I made you cry, alana. I'm blinded by a love that shouldn't have boomeranged our friendship. Maybe fate made me meet you just to be your best friend and brother. But I know destiny is never wrong, Dareel, he loves you so much." I smiled at the end of my sentence, trying to accept what happened turned out to be very painful.
"Dareel loves you so much, you're happy to be around him. And I believe Dareel is the man who will forever make you laugh and always protect you." Because I was too cowardly just to say love to you and run away to get rid of that feeling, I continued in my heart.
"Sister... ." Alana's eyes glazed down. "Alana, I'm sorry for loving you and making things fall apart. But please don't leave me and never stay away from me. Me, you and nattali, aren't we like family?" I asked Alana who was now rubbing her watery eyes.
"We are family-and family is like this right, quarrel and then reconcile again." I stood up and spread my hand. "I don't care if Dareel sees me hugging you, because he also needs my blessing as your brother if he wants to date you." I said smile.
"I miss you so much but how do I say that, I'm afraid of being snapped again by you." Alana hugged me. "Sorry for that too." Alana nodded in the middle of her sobbing.
"Peace?" Ask alana who now rubs her snot on my shirt, my God. "Peace." Alana looked up and looked at me.

"It's late at night, are you sleeping here?" Asked the man who had been waving the war flag to me. "What is your business? This is alana's house and I'm her sister." Answer me not to lose.
"His brother?" Dareel laughs cynically. "Listen, I don't want to debate you in front of Alana. So don't fish, get it." I poured the drink into the glass.
"Even to talk I'm lazy, even debate." Dareel sipped his drink. "Okay, I'll now talk seriously to you. I hope you will take care of alana as best you can, make alana forget her trauma and make her always smile. I believe you can do that better than me." I stared intently at this lucky man in front of me, who was getting love alana.
"It will be difficult for me. But you calm down, from now on I will try to convey feelings to alana. I'll be his best friend, but I can't be more than that. You're not gonna leave alana, are you?" I asked Dareel.
"Gue won't leave alana again, I'm also trying to fix everything. Even though Alana says, nothing can be fixed. But we'll start from zero. I'll always make Alana happy, I'll do anything for alana." Dareel looked at me seriously, I nodded in response.
"Gue hold your words. And you know what happens if alana cries because of lo?" I patted the shoulder of the dareel. "And you also know what the consequences are if you deketin alana again? And I think you still quite remember, the last time alana cried it was because of lo." Dareel put my hand off his shoulder.
I smiled as if flirting with a dareel, I knew he was a slightly possessive type of guy so it was a bit of entertainment to mock him. "After the nattali wedding, I went back to America. So this is your chance to happyin alana. But inget, if you make a mistake again-" I stood up and patted the shoulders of the dareel again then smiled obliquely.
"Gue hope you will be forever in America and do not live in Indonesia if you do not want to see me as alana more and more tacky, it is not good for your sanity." Dareel instead patted me on the shoulder and walked ahead of me, approaching the alana in the kitchen preparing dinner. Dareel, goddamn it
