True Love
Seeking reward

"no need to hesitate. I. already know the whole story.your story"

"a. what?"

I'm petrifying. It even feels inappropriate. When I came into this 'family'. Am I the third?

"sorry" at last that sentence came out of my mouth

"it's okay.I understand your condition.and your husband.he has no other choice" explained Nicole

"you know Hiro?" I was shocked when Hiro's name was called

"know? just to find out.he came to see me. specifically to ask permission about Rico"

"what?"

"hhhhh.The situation is so complicated.I took part in the events that happened to you.I was very fascinated with students who were so brilliant like Rico. until one night I had the opportunity to have it. I didn't waste it of course.he was my criterion.I didn't demand him to be responsible either. that night he got drunk.but after a few days he came to see me. proposed to me. I was really touched. in this town I've never met a man like him"

I was silent to Nicole's story. The way it conveys so straightforward. Sometimes it even surprises me a little.

"i knew at the end of the day about your story with Rico. He told us at the beginning of our marriage.he didn't promise to accept me completely either. But he'll try. I appreciate that"

"he told?"

"yes"

"this mess?"

"yes, about Mama Nina and your father too"

"he can share with you, but not with me"

"that's because he doesn't have any feelings for me, but not you. he loves you so much"

"what? how can you say that?"

"i saw him. Even now, I still don't know if he has opened his heart to me"

"sorry"

"that's it. that's not the point after your husband comes. Rico refused, but I persuaded him"

"what?"

"i said that maybe it's a chance for him to apologize to you, to finish what he hasn't done before"

"are you crazy? what if he changes his mind?"

"isn't that a question that should also be asked to Hiro. your husband?"

Glug

"i don't know why he suddenly came back and decided not to help Hiro anymore"

I saw Harry's face. Both of his eyes were similar to Rico's. My heart feels sore. Yet. This kid is innocent. He's so innocent. Even Daritadi kept smiling as I invited him to play.

"you are familiar"

This voice shakes my body. Rico?!

"i've prepared a change of clothes. there's dinner at the table. I'm going to my dad's house" Nicole explained

"wait. Nicole?" prevent me from spontaneous

"don't worry, I trust you"

He sniffled at me and then took Harry out of my sling. Followed my step and ended up lost behind the door.

The atmosphere is so quiet. It's been 30 minutes since the departure of Nicole and her father. I did not dare to open my mouth. My tongue seemed to be peppered and became a machete.

"what brings you here?" rico finally started the conversation

"i.e., composing a puzzle"

"does that matter?"

"yes?"

"yes?"

"i'm.I'm really sorry to you. Esta. for everything I've done. for everything that happened to you. Even my stupid deal with Hiro.forgive me"

"i don't blame you. I just want to find an answer for my heart"

"i was happy when Hiro came that day, even when he found out you only remembered me that day, it was hypocritical that I denied it. I even kissed you. hugged you. who was even the wife of another man.I cursed myself"

"we've split up"

"uh? whahuh? whatchu mean?"

"as I said"

"but even that day he dampened his ego. let you be with me. Three years. The esta? a husband lets his wife become another man's lover to make him recall his past memories"

I'm speechless. Rico seemed very emotional. I didn't even have the courage to interrupt.

"you know.I feel disgusted at myself.I've even left you. impregnating a girl who I made an impingement.even she was pregnant at the time. and I decided to make amends to you just because I thought your accident was an opportunity for me. I'm really selfish. I'm not an animal. I baj*****"

"stop Rico"

"don't comfort me. It's not something that can be justified.you have a husband. and I have a wife even a child. Hiro's idea is completely crazy.and I'm a lot crazier by agreeing to it"

"i...Hiro said that I had to pursue my happiness, but after I saw Harry, it was really evil if I still thought about it. it was. maybe it all started misunderstanding. our selfishness.I will not take Harry's father.you are a whole family.I don't want to see him experience what I've experienced.regardless of my memory that will recover or not...I'll make peace with reality"

Rico walked up to me. Hugged me in such a warm embrace. But there is a different taste that I feel. This...

the vibration no longer exists

is this a sign that I am at peace with reality?

really close such a complicated mass and start spinning a new thread?

The warm dinner. So crowded. Nicole is a warm person. He mingles very well. Especially the way he looks. Maybe it was because of the cultural differences between us. He looks so relevant and calm.

"does Harry want to be carried by Aunt Esta?" he said lightly

"auntie?" however, after the marriage of doctor Nina and my father, Rico and I were the next family.

"is I that old?" my timpals break the awkwardness

"then do you want to be called brother?" goda Rico's

"less worthy as it seems" I said

And susanapun liquid. Only the laughter filled the night. I feel like I really have a big family.

I was at the airport. With the tears of Doctor Nina and the babbling of little Harry.

"let's go home" I whined

"remember to play here often" said Nicole

"do you think our distance can be reached by fast train? I definitely do it every day to be able to play with Harry" I said

"meet Hiro, he's done a lot for you" Rico started advising me

"are you acting like my brother now?"

"i can be your sister if needed"

We were momentarily silent. Then dad approached me.

"dad didn't even give you a good example all along, but I knew Hiro. he wasn't the one who could go down that low for someone's sake.come back to him"
