The No More Sun
JAY

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Pa, can Jay come in?" Jay asked when he was in front of Mr. Zenda's reading room door.

"Come on Jay!" Answer Mr. Zenda from the room

"Papa busy?"

"What's Jay?"

"What's so serious about Keysa's marriage to Javier's sister? They are 12 years old. "

"If it's not serious, where will there be preparation? Your question is Jay" replied Mr. Xenda very casually.

"Jay doesn't agree!" Jay's words immediately made Mr. Zenda stop reading.

"With reason?"

"Is there a reason for this Pa?"

"Must Jay!"

"Because Javier's sister was engaged without Papa's knowledge while in America." Jay can't stand to talk about Javier and Jean's relationship.

"You don't mess with Jay." Said Mr. Zenda with great emphasis.

"Papa can check at Javier's house who's there. Papa can ask Javier's sister directly, and Jay thinks (sighs) Jay thinks Keysa knows this." Jay said

"Papa's gonna take care of everything."

"Jay tell Papa about Jean not because Jay cares about Javier's sister but Jay just doesn't want Keysa to be a victim of Sister's selfishness." Jay walked away. Give Mr. Zenda a chance to think about a solution to this.

Jay collapsed on Keysa's bed because it was in the mattress that smelled Keysa's body. Jay was always like that when he felt the longing for him.

"Key, am I right? I was right to tell Papa. I can't stop you, but I can solve all this without involving you. I want you to be fine without bearing any burden. May you be happy." Inner Jay

Jay looked at all the photos in Keysa's room. The room that he had not been in for a long time because he avoided the owner. Jay's eyes focused on the corneriest and smallest photo.

"It turns out it's just our picture that you put in this room, there's no other photos except those of our memories every year." Mumbled Kay.

Jay closed his eyes for a while and a leg was heard stomping into the room he was in to rest.

"Sister jay?" Keysa was a little surprised to see Jay sleeping on his bed.

"If when Sis Jay wakes up to stay calm like this, if Sis Jay does not always make a fuss, maybe we can still be close as Brother and Sister. Yes, even though Keysa knows that Jay's sister troublemakers just to comfort herself after knowing that we can't get married. Sorry Keysa Brother." Inner Keysa.

Keysa covers Jay's body. Before that, Keysa took off the shoes that were still attached to Jay's feet. The tiny hand occasionally stroked Jay's hair, making her even more comfortable.

"Keysa, called papa." Shouted Kavier from outside the room

"Yes, one minute!"

Keysa came out of the room and went to see Mr. Zenda. While Jay curled up hugging the bolster while letting out tears because from now on Jay just pretended to sleep.

"Your hands are so soft and sincere. But why pretend I don't know how I feel? I fell in love with you when you learned to smile. Can't I be your choice?" Inner Jay

The family room sounded very noisy. Curious, Jay went downstairs and saw what was happening.

When I opened the door, there was a debate inside. Jay decided to listen without going inside.

"Pa, Papa decided this marriage. Why do you still suspect me?" Ask Javier

"Well or not if you already have a boyfriend?"

"I don't have any woman!" Answer it seriously.

"Well, I can't open my mouth to acknowledge Jean's presence. We have been in a relationship for 7 years. But looking at Keysa who was just smiling, I wanted to have it completely. I realize I'm so greedy but I don't know my true feelings." Inner Javier.

"Pa, let's just drop off until keysa passes huh. After all, maybe Javier really needs time to choose and is not rash in taking important decisions like this. Keysa only wants to get married once in a lifetime so Keysa doesn't want Javier's sister to regret her decision." Keysa opens his voice, revealing his heart as Keysa learns that Javier is indeed living with a woman.

"You two talk first. Papa's going to rest!" Mr. Zenda came out and opened the door. Then looking at Jay who was pensive, Mr. Zenda patted his shoulder to wake Jay from his daydream.

"Do you love him, Jay?" It was like a thunderbolt in the middle of the day a question from Mr. Zenda to him.

"You can't love him, Jay!!"

"What does Papa mean?"

"If Keysa isn't married to Javier, it means he'll marry another man."

"Why Pa?"

"Do you love her so much?"

"..." - ".Jay did not answer Mr. Zenda's question. Just keep quiet and occasionally sigh.

"Keysa could love you. Jay, don't embarrass Papa. You've made a bet with Princess Leon. Papa can't marry you to Keysa because a promise must be kept. This was an arranged marriage since you were babies, so Mr. Leon sent his daughter to be always close to you."

"Jay can't pa." Answer Jay

"You should be able to Jay. Papa never asked for anything. Papa just asked you to marry Ellia."

"Give Jay Pa time."

"Give me a wise answer."

Without seeing the situation, Jay came to Keysa who was talking to Javier. Jay pulls Keysa's hand so Keysa follows.

"Sister Jay, sick. Leasin!" Keysa tries to let go of her hand but Jay's grip gets tighter.

"Get in the car, come on for a minute." His order

"Where?" Ask Keysa

"Where are you with me!"

"Huh?"

"Let's Keysa!"

Finally Keysa came in and followed Jay. Leaving Javier dumbfounded to see this happen.

The speed of cars exceeds the average, their lips locked against each other without speaking during the trip.

"Apartment?" Keysa was astonished that Kay had brought him to an elite apartment.

"Apartment bought by Javier for Kean. Are you sure you want to marry a guy like that?" Ask Jay

"Keysa doesn't know." Answer

"Key, Jay's sister is getting married soon. Papa wants Jay's brother to marry the woman of his choice. Kay's sister won't be able to protect you forever." Jay stroked Keysa's tubers gently.

"Keysa doesn't know, sister. Keysa could not refuse. Keysa is waiting for Javier's sister who refuses this marriage. Keysa can't let Papa down with Mama. "

"Married if you're sure you can make her fall in love. But back off if you feel inadequate because they have been in a relationship for 7 years. It might be a little hard." Jay is trying to be a good big brother because Jay realizes they will not be able to get married.

"Maybe it takes time but Keysa is sure he can. If it fails, Keysa will back down."

"Be a good wife. Don't hesitate to ask for help Jay's sister ya."

Jay brings Keysa back because even though Keysa knows the truth, he doesn't dare to refuse.

"Ellia?" When they arrive, Jay is greeted by Ellia as well as Keysa who is greeted by Javier. But Keysa brushed off Javier's hand and rushed into the room.

"Jay, we haven't seen each other in a long time."

"Have been here long? Who's here?" Ask Jay

"Lumayan. Same with Papa."

"Your father's inside?"

"Yes. Talk to Zenda again."

"Call Papa dong too. We'll be married soon." Ellia's face turned red because Jay spoke as if she was feeling ordinary while Ellia felt a very loud heartbeat.

"We can't be with Keysa, so I have to try to love others. Maybe my efforts weren't entirely because I thought, I still have hope. But now, that hope is no longer there so I'll try my best." Inner Jay
