Secrets (Who Are You?)
12. STORIES FROM THE EX

Two cups of tea floated smoke into the sky, there was a soothing aroma of tea and jasmine. Two grown men fell silent to each other. There was a baby among them who was sleeping. An adorable face looks even sweeter when you close your eyes.

"Who is baby Rein?" Ask Raihan

"He's now my baby Han, this baby's a memento of my brother. It's just that the current situation got her involved in Meika's affairs." Reina Light

"I don't know what else to do. It's all been happening since you went missing and Mila and her best friend died."

The conversation no longer continued. Both are silent in their own eyes. A memory of a time that has just passed.

"Rein, what about us?" Ask Raihan suddenly.

"we're over Han, love Meika, because before she had PTSD, she was in love with you" Reina said.

"But he was silent. Because we are status bound. I'm in Han's misguided position, but I want to let you go for him. Forget me, we're over. Please love meika like you love me." Added Reina

Love, mystery, and family. One complex problem. Reina wanted to cry in the face of all this. He had to pretend to be someone else. Raihan told me that everything happened because of it.

Night had arrived, Reina tried to remember what Raihan had told her earlier. About Mila and Rania. And a scandal with the old principal.

Mila, Meika's twin sister is a mischievous girl with heart failure. The girl repeatedly forced Meika to give up her heart, so that she would stay alive. Meika always refuses. He felt that he was entitled to life too. But in the midst of the illness, Mila was involved in a scandal with the old principal. Mila is pregnant, leaving behind a tiny baby who is now being cared for by one of Meika's relatives.

The headmaster of the old school eventually went to prison for his sting. Mila died after giving birth. No one knows for sure, because the girl disappeared since she was dropped out of school. Even Meika and her parents, have made a missing persons report. Until that morning, a baby box came to Rania's house accompanied by a letter.

Reina walked over to baby Rein. The baby belongs to her late sister, but Meika with her PTSD, assumes the baby belongs to Mila from her dark relationship with the old principal.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Reina put you in a difficult situation."

The stars twinkled in the sky, there was such a vast sky was watching a human child drama. A few memories drift. About all the dreams that will be stored in wishful thinking. Love, one word with a million meanings. There is still a love from Reina for her Achievement, but her best friend is more important. Meika has suffered a lot because of Mila, even Meika's parents seemed to close their eyes. I don't know what trickery, as if they're always siding with Mila.

Only Viana, Meika and Mila's younger cousins, become refugees while Reina is away in a land of people. Even the young girl patiently accompanied Meika with all her imagination.

Tok..

There were three knocks on Reina's room door, she immediately opened the door. There's Raihan behind that door.

"He's asleep?" Ask Raihan

Reina simply nodded and looked at the pair of eyes that belonged to her ex-lover who waved a signal. Slowly, Reina closed the door of her room. Get down to the ground floor and meet a babysitter who is watching a local television drama.

"Sorry aunt, can I leave Baby Rein? I have a need for a moment." pinta Reina to her babysitter.

Their footsteps were moving over the sidewalk. Every now and then the two human children cast longing gazes at each other.

"Everything you want to get to is Han?" Reina asked open the topic

"What would you do if Meika had regained consciousness from her PTSD?" Raihan

Reina's steps suddenly stopped. He didn't think about this. Meika does not currently remember that Mila is her twin sister and Rania is a friend of Mila with a face that is almost similar to Reina. Meika's imagination put together a very strange story. About reincarnation or speculation of seven twins.

"I still believe in the speculation of the seven twins, and I was with Rania were two of the seven people with similar faces. But his imagination says we are reincarnated. Han, I know he loves you and he doesn't want to lose me either." Reina explained as she stared at the night sky that began to be shrouded in dark clouds. There are no stars that appear to be flashing there.

Raihan followed the direction of the girl who is now her former lover.

"I'll be here Han, no longer leaving Meika. I grew up with him, PTSD is because of me. I hate this fact, it's hard for me to let you go, and we're both hurt by it." Suddenly Reina sobbed. Quickly, Raihan tried to grab onto a body smaller than her, clutching her in an embrace.

"I'll try to forget our past Rein."

***

It rained slowly, shedding tears of sadness. Reina and Raihan sit on the waiting chairs available at the bus stop. They are discussing finding a way out.

"I don't understand Han, why can Meika think that Reina and Mila are different?" Reina asked confused

"PTSD can make sufferers imagine the impossible Rein, as now, he was overshadowed by Mila's liver disease, and then Mila and Rania died. He who believes the reincarnation myth thinks that if Reina is reincarnated and in her Imagination, Rania loses her best friend due to a scandal with the old principal." Bright Raihan

PTSD is dangerous, but that doesn't mean it can't be cured.

"Then, she thought that you, sent a notary reading a will that I should marry her and now she feels married to me." Raihan

Furthermore, only a sweet smile could Reina display. He doesn't know what to do. To him, whatever his story. Raihan has to be with Meika.

The rain that night subsided, step by step they took to return home.

The door of the house was wide open when they arrived, there was Meika who was standing while holding a baby Rein. Raihan and Reina were silent looking at Meika. Waiting for Meika's reaction, whether the girl is in PTSD or has been cured.

"Darling, where have you been? Rania, you got any more problems?" Ask Meika.

The girl is still in her PTSD. Reina and Raihan only smiled faintly, all they could do was continue to follow the drama Meika. Pretend to be Raihan who is her husband and Reina who becomes Rania her student.
