Beautiful Affair
BA #50 - Honesty

"Al, let me take care of Linda's mother, you better go home and rest" Jill said, let alone see Alira who looked very pale.

"You're the one who came home, Jill. In the orphanage you must be in need especially there is no Linda's mother there," Alira replied.

"Yes, let me and Alira take care of Linda's mother, Jill," Daniel said reassuringly.

"But Alira seems to be sick, she's pale" Jill said. Daniel looked at his wife worriedly.

"Yes, Honey. You're pale, are you sick?" Ask Daniel.

"No, I'm fine, Daniel," Alira answered quickly. "I'll take care of her tonight, Jill. Tomorrow is new you, we change," persuaded Alira and Jill finally succumbed.

"Tell me if there's anything" Jill said before returning home and Alira simply nodded.

After Jill came home, Daniel immediately touched Alira's forehead with the back of his hand which made Alira a little surprised.

"What's wrong?" ask Alira.

"You're warm, Al. Are you sure you're okay?" Daniel asked worriedly.

"Maybe just a little tired," replied Alira limp.

"You rest, honey. I don't want you to be sick either."

.........

"You want to go back to Indonesia just for Alira, don't you?" Viona asks who is currently following Ryan after work.

"Please, Viona! It's none of your business, it's my personal one" Ryan replied, upset that Viona had been harassing him for a few days.

"I don't mean to interfere in your personal affairs, Ryan. I only care about you," Viona said with emphasis.

"I never asked you to care about me" Ryan replied coldly which made Viona's heart ditch, even her eyes were already glazed over, after everything that had happened between her and Ryan, is this what he got?

"After everything I've done for you, am I not entitled to care for you?" Viona asked softly with what made Ryan could only fall silent. "You know I love you, Ryan. But why are you ignoring me?" Viona asked sadly.

Ryan looked at Viona softly, he approached the girl, grabbed her shoulder and looked her in the eye.

"Don't cry" Ryan said as he gently wiped Viona's tears away. "I will always be by your side, but only as a friend, Viona. I'm sure there must be a guy out there who loves you a lot and will make you happy."

Viona hugs Ryan and returns crying in the arms of the man she loves so much. "But I only love you, Ryan. I gave everything for you, my soul and body" he said.

"I know, Viona. I'm sorry I didn't respect you, but it's over. Now, you don't have to give me your body anymore, now you're my friend, not my bedmate."

Viona is silent to Ryan's remarks, especially Nick also tells her that since Ryan returned from Indonesia, Ryan has never been seen with a woman again and all that must be because of Alira.

"You changed for Alira?" ask Viona.

"No, I changed because of Alira."

.........

Alira woke up from her sleep and she was surprised because Alira was in her room, when Alira was about to get out of bed, Daniel came with breakfast for his wife.

"Why am I home?" Alira asked confused because last night she slept in the hospital.

"I take you home while you sleep, I just want you to sleep comfortably, honey." Daniel placed a tray of bread and a glass of warm milk in front of Alira. "Eat, after this we go to the hospital" Daniel said again.

"Al, there's something I want to talk about actually with you," Daniel said as he stared fixedly at Alira.

"About what?" ask Alira while enjoying the bread.

"About myself," replied Daniel who made Alira frown.

"meaning?"

"I want to tell you, actually, my memory's been back since I went to the hospital again."

"W-what?"

Tbc....
