The Tomb Next to the House
45. Livia

"Sir, I'm sorry, huh?"

"What happened to you, Mom?"

"You won't understand."

"You're right. But I want to hear it," I asked to pay attention to Raihan's sad look.

"I'm sorry if you haven't been able to be the best husband for you. Mas has also failed to maintain the trust that God has given us" said Mas Raihan.

I held my husband's cold hand. "What's this guy talking about? I am happy to have a husband like Mas. I'm grateful we can still be together to this point."

When saying it, the instant memories of the time before we married first flashed in my memory. We were still in college. The time when we are still shy of cats because we first met.

Actually, I first knew Raihan. Because at that time he was the girlfriend of my twin sister named Livia. Because of that embarrassing incident we got closer as time went on. I get love from others, but I also lose someone's love.

Flashbacks.

I was sitting on the front bench of the house even though it was getting darker. Loneliness strikes because I am the only one at home. Mom and Dad are having a show outside. While my twin sister Livia hasn't returned from college since this afternoon. He said there was a show with his friends.

From a distance there was a black car approaching our yard. And I know whose car it is. When he was about to enter the house, the owner of the car first called the name of my twin brother.

"Livia!"

Of course I did not look and chose to go into the house. I thought he was going home knowing his girlfriend wasn't home. But it turned out wrong. Raihan Aditama Al Qois, or more often called Raihan, went into the house without permission.

He immediately barged into my room and hugged me from behind.

"Called out. Don't you think it's the same with me?" whisper right behind my ear.

"M-Mas, don't fuck me Div—argh!"

"Gst ... I miss you, Via. Lately we rarely meet because of troublesome campus tasks." Mas Raihan suddenly put his burly hand into the shirt I was wearing.

His hand traced the curve of the stomach to make me sidle incoherently and could not continue my words anymore. The sensation of taste that I had never felt before was like bewitching my world to enter his world.

Raihan quickly twisted my body to face it and then scooped my quivering lips. Goddamnit! My first kiss!

At that time I cursed in my heart but my body refused to stay away. Like enjoying his intoxicating appearance. Because she deepened the kiss without letting me understand the situation.

I realize this is wrong. But my body has no power against such a great power. Both of my hands had tried to rebel to hit his chest, but it was so easy for him to catch my wrist with one hand. And his other hand pressed against my nape.

"A-I'm not Livia .. "my sigh while panting, as if out of breath when Raihan finally removed our lip link.

"Eh?" With a surprised look Raihan watched my face flushed thoroughly.

Brak!

"Diehhhhhh!!" That soft yet piercing sound left us both aghast.

"Li-Livia?" my murmuring with both netra opens perfectly.

I don't know when he was in the doorway. God, why did he come at such an inopportune time?

"I didn't expect you to do this behind my back" Livia said in a trembling voice and teary eyes.

"It's not what you see, Liv. You misunderstood me," I tried to tell you the truth.

"Misunderstand me, huh?! Everything is clear in plain sight. You're kissing!" the snapping was accompanied by a sobbing that made me feel so guilty, for having enjoyed a kiss from my own twin sister's boyfriend.

"You're wrong, Liv. We're just—" Akh! Damn I can't continue my defense. Regardless of which side our actions remain wrong.

"Suck!" the meaning ran away.

"Wait, Liv!" hold me down while running after Livia. Ignoring the Raihan mas who are still in place.

It seems that he is still shocked by the events outside of this planning. I continued to chase after Livia who ran into the front room, until my hand managed to grab her back shirt.

Sreth!

Grep's!

"Sorry ... But you misunderstood. I—"

"Hiks ... Misunderstand it? Then your blushing cheeks are also due to misunderstanding?" finally, cut my words.

"Eh?"

The sound of footsteps from behind made Livia break our arms forcibly.

"Traitor!" the light pushed me hard. My body fell and ended up on the floor so surprised.

"Awh!" pekikku felt the back of the back that immediately grinned.

Plaque!

The sound of a loud slap was clearly heard in the living room. My head turned to see what was really going on. But before she could see anything, Livia ran out of the house again.

"Via! Wait!" raihan began to chase after him.

Alhamdulillah ... Finally his brain was running too. Rather than keep quiet, it is better for him to act. It seems Livia doesn't trust me at all.

"Adamus ..". " complained that I was still trying to stand by the couch.

"LIVIAN! WATCH OUT!!" The scream instantly shocked me.

Brak!

Why else would it be a man. Just make a man hang. That scream, booze. I was like a mother-emak abis wriggling discounted goods only.

Deg.

My body that had just been able to stand now fell down again. My feet immediately limp to see Livia's body drenched in blood especially on the head.

"Livia!" my peek.

Trying to get this leg in sync with my brain. Trudgingly I approached the body of my twin sister lying horribly on the side of the road. Mas Raihan was already covered in tears while putting Livia's head on her thighs.

"Livia hold on!" exclaim mas Raihan di

I shed tears.

"I-i ... Sosherhh ... S-sickness ... " Livia's groaning with great difficulty.

"Let's go to the hospital."

"No," Livia refused, which made us panic.

"Livia?" I whispered, approaching his body that was starting to cool.

"D-Divia .. "given Livia.

I close my ears to hear her voice more clearly.

"M-marry Ra-Raihan .... "

"W-what are you talking about?"

"I don't know if you j-also like—"

"Livia!" Shouted me and Raihan mas simultaneously saw Livia had closed her eyes with a heavy gust before finishing her words.

"Livia's up!" I shook Livia's lifeless body.

This was the first time I saw death right in front of my eyes. That's why I shut my heart to any man. But remembering Livia's last message made me accept Raihan's mas when she wanted to marry me right away.

So the Via call that Raihan put to me came from his regrettable call to my twin sister. It hurts, but it's my tribute to him. So it doesn't matter. He has allowed me to be with the girlfriend he loves.

End Flashback.
