Secrets (Who Are You?)
11. A Secret

Everyone has secrets and the right to keep as much as possible. Same with what he's been hiding all this time. Tired not in taste. Lies are a reality every day.

Looking at him like that made him very sad. The beautiful life imagined by someone there is only a form of desire that can not be granted. But, no matter what life Meika and Reina are best friends. Even if reincarnation and seven twins were a fact to be believed, they would only continue to remember that they were a pair of friends.

Tap the door startling him from the activity of peeping someone in the room. He rushed towards the main door. A beautiful woman holding a handbag smiled at him.

"I don't think brother will come, he's back in action" he told a woman in front of him

"But he still remembers about Reina right?" Ask someone you know is a psychologist

"Yes he still remembers the Reina. I've said that in any life and any memory, Meika and Reina are best friends." A twenty-year-old girl

He did it today. After last night coming home late from work part-time past midnight. Arriving at home immediately asleep. Waking up with a condition not as usual. No one knows how it happened. Maybe Mila's death was the cause.

Reina, that twenty-year-old girl figure only regretted everything. When Meika lost Mila to an illness, Reina was not there. That's what triggers PTSD in Meika.

Meika acted by making herself a sufferer of liver failure, a disease that gnawed at Mila. Even more difficult to understand, he said that he was twenty-five years old, worked as a teacher and called Reina as Ran.

His wish today was to be accompanied by Reina. He doesn't want to lose anyone anymore.

Ran, Rania. The name belongs to the best friend of Meika's twin sister. The girl also committed suicide because of the loss of Mila.

The deaths of Mila and Rania are hard for Meika to accept. Suppose he is not selfish and willing to give his heart to Mila. It probably won't make parents lose their precious child. At that time Reina was not there. In that year Reina left without a word of goodbye.

Reina is forced to leave Meika because her parents have to move out of the country suddenly because of work.

The imagination that Meika had today was truly ridiculous. He assumes Reina is dead, calls her Ran and asks about Mila's past. Even Ran is considered to be Reina's older sister from a different mother then Reina is the son of Mila's dark relationship with Ran's father.

"Then what should I do Lina?" Reina asked the psychologist

"Keep being Ran for a while, come on pretending. Who is the man that her husband thinks is?" Ask Lina

"He, my friend at High School. He told me about Meika, and about Rania and Mila's death." Answer Reina

Lina patted Reina's small shoulder softly. Gave her a little zest for her efforts to cure Meika's PTSD.

"How is the school used as a teaching place?" Ask Lina again

"I did a little lie. I rented an unused classroom to complete his imagination. Of course hire some people who don't have the bustle either." Reina Light

Raihan, a twenty-year-old who already knew Reina, Meika, Rania and Mila had great merit in this.

Meika's big secret is her PTSD presence. No one expected Meika to experience severe stress. What people see is that girl is perfect, unlike her sick twin sister. No one blamed her for Mila's death. Both are in the same orphanage. Their wish was to have parents as good as Reina's parents.

Mila has a liver failure that is severe enough, to survive she needs a liver donor. But during that time there has been no brain-dead patient who donated his heart. Organ donation is not something that many find.

The pair of friends were sitting opposite each other on a long sofa in their house.

Telling the lie that has been compiled is a sin that Reina always regretted. Even the question he had to ask every morning was enough to make him sad. Sane trying is his wish.

"who are you?"

He kept questioning Meika like that in the morning.

"Who's your best friend?"

"do you remember Reina?"

Ever since Reina heard the news about Meika's stress disorder. He decided to return to his homeland. Meet a friend who doesn't recognize him at all. Keep calling him by someone else's name. He asked for understanding from both parents. Until both parents give Reina a minimalist home for both living. Makes it easy for Reina to take care of Meika.

Reincarnations. A belief found in Asian fiction. A belief that there will be a life cycle in which a person will be reborn. Those of noble heart will return to be holy human beings or become beautiful butterflies. As for those who were far from being unclean, it would only incarnate into a bad beast.

Reina always brushed off Meika's beliefs. He trusted seven more twins because he found the facts about his resemblance to Rania. There is no blood link between them.

"Ran, I want those who leave to be reborn and to meet me so that I can atone for all my sins."

Everything that is said is only regret and blame yourself.

"There is no reincarnation in this world. Even if it does exist, are you really sure that Meika and Reina can still meet in their second life? Can't you think about the distance? it's possible that Meika and Reina are not just separated, what about the separation of time?" The successive questions made Meika speechless.

Someone she knew as Rania made her think.

"I just want my best friend back. Run along and have fun. All this time we were hampered from doing all that happiness because of my illness. But when I recovered, he left by leaving his heart here."

"If so, consider me Reina, call me Reina as you please."

Meika smiled and hugged Reina. I whisper a sentence to my friend.

"but I'm still your teacher at school."

Meika has not been aware of her world.

Moments ago, my parents called Reina. Ask about their daughter. All parents must be very worried about the state of their children.

You have to pull and breathe out slowly. Looking for a little calm.

Life has its own secrets. Survive or be destroyed. The lie should be until when. Or when did Meika quit her time travel imagination, then get her PTSD healed?

Reina really wants to sacrifice anything for her best friend to heal and accept the reality.
