DUO - NaniWin/WinNani

Duo - 6

A little drama because I'm too dramatic to make happy stories.

:::::::::::::::

It is time to make choices. Would it be too selfish to choose a normal and successful life over an uncertain love? Or is love, whatever it is, always the right choice as shown in the movies? Reality is too cruel for the fantasy of love. That's why there are movies.

NANI POV

Damn it! Damn it!

I push Win away when I hear the sound of the door opening and I see my brother walking in and soon finding us kissing.

Hirun: Nani?

I take a few steps back to keep some distance from Win and automatically rub my hand over my mouth trying to get any excess saliva out. I don't hear Win say anything and I don't look to see what his reaction is, but from the silence I know the situation doesn't look very pleasant. But soon the silence is broken by Win's voice.

Win: See you tomorrow Nani - He tries to touch my face but my body reacts on its own and moves away from his touch. I feel bad about it, but I don't know what my brother is thinking right now. Not Win too.

I hear the sound of the door closing, apparently Win is gone and still I can't look at my brother who is still standing next to the door.

Hirun: Will you say nothing? Won't you explain to me what's going on?

Nani: I don't... I don't know what to say - I lean even further on the counter and still don't look at him, dying of shame and afraid of his reaction.

Hirun: How about starting with finally opening up to me about you liking boys? - I look at him surprised and realize that there is no anger or disappointment on his face, but calm.

Nani: Me? Liking boys?

Hirun: I already suspected and what I just saw just confirmed what I thought - I still look at him in astonishment thinking since when he thinks like that - I'm your big brother, I love you and that's why it's important for me to be mindful about the things you say and do and I've heard you complimenting a lot of guys and looking at a lot of them the same way I've seen you doing with girls. So I just put two with two together.

Nani: You don't seem disappointed or sad about it. You just found out your brother isn't straight! - I start to cry, but my anger still manages to be more present.

Hirun: That doesn't worry me, Nani. Actually it never worried me, but what really worries me is what I saw today. You were making out with a colleague who is your love interest in the SERIES - He emphasizes - And I don't know if I talk about how this can be a big stupidity or if I support, hoping for an exception to happen in your case.

Nani: You talk like he and I were already dating! We are not! This probably won't happen again - I leave the kitchen, walk past him and head towards the living room. I try to turn on the TV to show that I don't want to talk about it anymore, but the control remote is taken from my hand and he turns off the TV, sitting next to me.

Hirun: Look, I've seen the way you look at this guy, I know you well enough to know that you feel something deeper for him, but think with me, you're playing your first prestigious role, many doors are still opening for you , and you have a lot to lose if this doesn't work out, as your wasted effort and you walking away with a broken heart from this situation. He, on the other hand, has a career here in the country and abroad, the company can simply put all the responsibility on you to save his career, which makes more profit and yet his family is rich enough to give him another way of life.. I know I sound cruel and I seem to be exaggerating and adding to it all, but I'm a lawyer, Nani. I've seen people lose their careers and many other things for a lot less.
