[Warning 18+]

Daniel went to the bathroom, he threw up all of his inside in the toilet. He felt wobbly. A moment ago they had their lunch together. But he felt his body like stones crumbled. He just witnessed, once again, Sarah with her husband acting lovingly in front of him.

He looked at the baby who Sarah held. He had big blue eyes like Han. Daniel smiled helplessly how his face identical with both of his parents. 'He is indeed her child.' He recalled. Daniel couldn't look at Han in the eyes. His felt chaos inside his heart and mind. How could he accept this?

He rinsed his mouth and went outside the bathroom. When he accidentally bumped to Tereza who was just finished washing her hands in the washbasin beside the bathroom. She was startled and looked at him widely. They both staring each other.

Tereza unconsciously licked her dried lips. She said, ”Are you alright? I heard you throwing up just now. Were the food not fit your tastes?”

He stunned. 'Did she heard me?' Daniel thought. He felt embarrassingly ashamed. He quickly adjusted his emotion and showed a slight smile. He answered, ”I'm alright. Thank you for worrying me.”

They fell awkward silent once again. After a second, Tereza told him, ”Congratulation for your marriage.” Daniel heard her words as if he had been slapped.

He laughed dryly and mumbled, ”Thank you.” He expected his words didn't reach her, but she heard his it.

She looked at the time and said, ”Let's get back to the room. They're probably waiting.” She turned her body and getting ready to leave when suddenly her right arm being halted by him.

Tereza looked at his hand and then to his face. ”Can you let go?” She said as she furrowed her eyebrows. Daniel subconsciously released her. He could feel her rejection from her tone.

He asked her, ”Hey, can you tell me why did you marry him? Why Han Asuzawa?”

”You know him?” She asked curiously.

Did she forget how he adored Han in the past? He snorted from her answered, but then realized she had amnesia. 'Ah, right.'

He replied to her, ”No, nevermind.” Tereza looked at his pale face and urged him, ”Let's go now.”

”W-Wait!” He shouted. Tereza face showed her 'what now?' expression. He grabbed her hand tightly.

His mind almost collapsed. His breath quicken as he tried to calm down. His body shuddered.

He looked down the wooden floor and muttered shakingly, ”I'm trying. I'm trying to forget about you. I'm trying to make you disappear in mind. I'm trying to make you disappear from my heart. I'm trying. I'm trying. So, please. So, please. Don't turn away from me. Don't show me that expression. Don't say we should not see each other anymore. I know I'm still in love with you. I know I can't forget about you easily.”

”...”

”I know how you look at him, you are truly in love with him. Since little, I watched you, Sarah. I always priority your happiness above me. I vowed to myself if there's a man who can make you happier than I did to you back then. I will let you go. Honestly back then, I vented my anger to you due to my family problem. I wasn't the same Daniel you know back in teenagers. Yes, I know you don't remember about it. But, please, just listen. I want to say sorry. I'm sorry for the things I did back then.”

”...”

”Just like the old times. I will try to help you to regain your memories or listening to your problems. That's why Sarah. Please, can you listen to my request? Let us become friends once more.”

Tereza looked at his sincere eyes which mixed of frustration. She blinked her eyes a few times before calming down her thoughts.

She stared at him with somber eyes, she slowly responded, ”About your apology I forgive you. I know you are being genuine and I appreciated that, thank you. Your love to me was something difficult to erase and I understand that. I'm sorry for giving you a hard time. Lastly, I can't fulfill the last request. Our relationship now is slightly different and we are not living in the past. So, I can't be your friend.”

Daniel heard her words and he felt helpless. He heard her next words which brought him to life yet dead at the same time. ”But, I'll act normally when you want to talk to me. After all, you are my brother-in-law now. I hope you understand.” Tereza explained.

She said one more thing to him, ”I forgot how she treated me, but I know she had a reason to act like that. I hope you can forgive Kezia and take good care of her. She's my sister after all.”

After she said that words, she left him alone and strode to the room. Han was waiting for her and he knew she just got back from the bathroom. He asked her what happened and she told him she would explain it later at home.

Tereza grabbed Ringo from Han's embrace. He was focused as he drank his bottle milk with vigor. Han couldn't help to shake his head. How many times did he drink already? He had a hunch his son will be a heavy drinker in the future. He hoped he guessed it wrong.

Back in front of the bathroom door, Daniel was still standing there as he washed his hand. He noticed from the mirror there was Kezia behind him. She folded her arms in front of her champagne clothes.
