I'm Not Daria
Explain it

"What's wrong? I want to go home".he finally said impatiently

"I want to apologize for causing all this. He started to keep his distance from you because I said so. Aki has made you both very miserable and heartbroken and I'm really sorry for that."

"It's not your fault. But..."

"But what did Anna mean when she said that you were wrong about the abortion?"

"He was afraid of how I would react to knowing about the baby. As said, she avoided you because of me. She still defied me and ended up pregnant. I didn't know that my words would affect her so much that she chose to abort her baby. I didn't even know she was pregnant before today. You know that too."

He's nodding. "I don't think it's your fault."

"me too. My only mistake was separating the two of you. I'm sorry"

"It's okay. Do you still think I'm too good for her?"

"I don't know anymore"

We sat in silence for a few minutes

"It's a beautiful garden"

I looked around the colorful place. "Yes, right."

"Whatis that? Daria and Devan Flower Park?" She read the signboard in front of our little flower garden.

I blushed shyly "That's something Devan and I did a few days ago."

She smiled a little hearing it. "You two are so funny. Never thought you'd be together."

I smile. "Thank you."

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"No, that's enough. Don't hate Anna too much. Being pregnant must be scary for her. Besides, he also felt like he couldn't say anything to me."

He nodded a little. "I wish I wasn't too hard on him today, but I can't easily accept what happened today"

"Of course, take your time. If you want to talk to someone, you've got Devan, Bella, Luna, and me. So don't hesitate to extend a hand." Reminded him.

"Thank you, Daria"

I gave him a small sympathetic smile

"Can I go now?"

"Yes please"

"I'm leaving". He stood up

"Please take care of his health. I heard she didn't eat and the chatter about a woman who was depressed after having an abortion was very high. Please take care of him and make sure he takes the pills. Don't leave him alone for too long"

"That's what I'm gonna do."

"And please apologize to Devan. I can't go with him today. I feel bad. I haven't seen him for a few days now and I'm leaving without talking to him"

"Don't worry about it. He'll understand.

"okay"

I drove him until his car disappeared outside the iron gate.I wish he was okay.

I went back inside to see Devan.

Bella was still talking, she was very surprised that it was her sister's baby and panicked about what she was going to say to her parents.

"Bell, make sure he gets home safely." I'm saying. "He just left." I really hope he's not too distracted and can drive with a clear mind.

"Yes. My God, I didn't know anything was going on between Anna and Gio. My poor brother. I can't imagine what he's going through. I'll take her somewhere tomorrow to cheer her up." Bella babbling

"Okay, Bella. We understand. Are you ready to go now?" Luna asked, sighing heavily

"What, no, I have to talk to Anna right now, I have to ask her what her intentions are with my sister! It's very clear she likes it and I need to know what kind of girl she is. I don't know much about her." Bella pulls Luna with her towards the guest rooms.

I thought it was best for the two of them to talk to him without me, so I backed off.

After talking to Anna for a while, they left. Not knowing what they were talking about but whatever it was, it managed to calm Anna down better than when they tried.

Anna was now asleep after Gio left. I carried her to the bed and then walked to Devan's room. I'll wake him before dinner.

Devan has taken a shower and changed into work clothes.he sits on his bed while wearing clothes.

"Oh hey"

"Hi"

"So what happened there?"

I started to recount what happened before he got here.

Devan listened to me intently and he was just as shocked as the previous incident on that day,

"He's pregnant with Gio's child?"

I'm nodding.

"Damn, I have to make sure she's okay." He grabbed his phone

He hesitated but obeyed. "All right, I hope he's okay"

"Don't worry, he'll be fine"

"And what about Anna, is she okay?"

"I'll make sure that he'll be fine from now on"

He sighed. "I feel sorry for him. He's been through a lot alone".

"He's got Luna"

"really. I can't believe my ex didn't tell me about something this big"

I cleared my throat and pretended to glare at him while crossing my arms in front of my chest.

He gave me a shy smile. He sat down next to me and wrapped his hands around my body. "I mean the former Haha fake."

"Haha." I imitated. "By the way, Gio said that he was sorry for not being able to accompany you today."

He brushed. "He doesn't have to apologize. He's been through a lot today?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Oh, and I don't think you're guilty of that abortion. So don't think too much about what Anna's accusing you of, okay?"

"will not. I thought so too, but Anna didn't. But it's okay. He was saddened by what he was doing and just wanted to blame someone. I understand and I'm not angry. He is fragile at the moment. He needs love and support. If blaming me is the thing that gets him through this, then I'm willing to take the blame."

She stroked my hair. "You are a good friend."

"And so are you."

"Now my day with Gio is ruined, how about we do something together?"

"What?"

"Films, snacks and lots of hugs"

I'm pouting. "I want a kiss too. Take it or leave it?"

"Hey, this is equally beneficial for both of them. I'm not complaining. Sure, let's do all four." He chuckles.

"I made the popcorn, you chose the movie." I said, standing up.

"No, I made popcorn, you chose the movie." Devan retorted while standing in front of me.

"I can't guarantee. What if I want to watch a romantic movie?"

"Honestly," he said as he closed the door. "I don't mind."

.....

At dinner, I actively watched Anna, making sure she ate everything on her plate. He hasn't picked up much food on his plate lately.

But now everything will change. I will make sure to heal our broken friendship and help her through these difficult times

He wanted to protest me, but since my parents were in front of him, he had no choice but to eat everything. It was the first time he had eaten so well.

Usually after dinner, I would go straight up to my room or have a chat with my parents, but now it's different.

I spent an hour in Anna's room, bothering her. He obviously didn't want me there but I kept insisting

"I'm sorry, Anna because I hurt you and Gio. To the extent that you had an abortion."

I'm just apologizing for wanting him to feel better. I didn't mean it and felt a little guilty about it. But really, it wasn't my fault.

"What?" Anna did not expect.

"I realized my mistake. I'm sorry." It didn't feel good to lie to her like that, but maybe when she was out of the trauma of losing her child, she said, I would tell him that I lied to him to make him feel comfortable and hope that he would forgive me then.

"What's changed? You are so adamant about not accepting your mistakes."

I shrugged, "I see things from your point of view. So, am I forgiven?"

"Maybe." He said slowly.

"Don't worry. I'll take good care of you. You'll forgive me soon."

"You sound confident"

"Come on, you've never been mad at me for a long time. Except this time. This is the first time we haven't spoken for months. That hard. I miss you."

He snorted, "I miss you too."

And we just got back to normal. Yes, as normal as we can do with each other after what happened, I know this will take a long time but he is willing to wait for us to come back like we used to.

I was so afraid that our friendship would be broken and irreparable, but it was not so bad. If anyone is sure enough, this incident will only bring us closer and strengthen our bond.

No matter how much I hated Anna for these months, I always knew in my subconscious that one day we would be fine and I was glad that day had come.

There were times when I thought that da was an evil friend or I was evil to him, but it was just a mound and a hole in our path to an unavoidable friendship to deal with. It was our choice if we wanted to stay tied to each other or let go.

And we always choose to hold on tight, but not to the point where it will hurt. Because that day will signify that our friendship has really died and hope that day will never come true.
