Remember To Forget

Soliloquy

Zaytoon... She loves you a lot."

"What? What do you mean she loves me..."

"Tell me, dearie... Why do you think otherwise? While suffering in pain, she protected you... Just because she wanted to make you happy. Just because I caused you pain." She paused for a while and looked down... Her eyes formed tears but she tries hide it from him.

Zayd looked concerned and walked closer to where she sat. "No you didn't. Dynah... Why are you saying these? Please, stop blaming yourself.

"Zaytoon is a better person than I am. Perhaps, who would marry a mental patient?" Her voice was shaky. It was apparent that Madinah was already in tears.

"To me, Zaytoon is more than a sister... Even if we don't chat a lot, even if we have our differences. She own a place in my heart and I wouldn't want you to hurt your twin all because of me. Zaytoon is as precious as my family as you are, to me but if you let go of her, she would be lonely forever. She would lost everything in her life without you by her side and I don't want that.

"What do you want, my love? You're looking glummy"

"I don't want to be the cause of other people's pain. I can't pretend as if everything is fine between us while it isn't. I don't want to do that while hurting her."

Zayd gently squatted before Madinah, his hands slowly crawled to cup her chin.

"Look at me." He ordered. It was as if his voice shivered. Her heartbeats fastened, so suddenly. It was as if she was never expecting it.

She kept silent, as if she was stimulating what he just said.

"Dynah... I said look at me."

Her hands became sweaty, so was her whole body. Her hands quickly wiped away the string of tears that were dropping and still dropping from her eyes.

"Look at me." she finally raised up her shy face. He wiped her tears with his fingers and scared in her teary eyes. She stared into his eyes in the same manner, it looked as if he understood all her feelings with just that stare.

"The one I love is you, Madinah."
Her heartbeats stopped for a while. It was the first time he called her real name... Madinah.

"Stop hurting yourself because of me. I hate to see you in tears. You're the one I'm involved with, not my twin sister, okay?"

"Okay." She innocently muttered and sniffed.

Zayd smiled at her face and held her hands tight. "You're still the same, Dynah. You're the same kind little girl, I left in California... I'm glad."

"I want you to know... I love you, Zayd. I love you so much that I can't just left you go. I would try all my possible best to make sure things work out between us."

He tilted her head forward to his and planted a soft kiss on her forhead.
