Since Childhood

Prologue

Being the youngest member of the family, Daniela is always being protected, cared for and loved by everyone although she didn't wished for it. She's been always the treasure of the family that sometimes it annoys her because their treatment makes her feel like a weakling who cannot stand on her own feet.

For a child who was left by their own father, having a strict brother and sometimes overly dramatic mom, her youth was almost chaotic. However, someone came into her life and changed it. Someone befriended her, someone appreciated who she is, someone believed in her. And that someone is Timothy. One of her eldest brother's best friend.

Timothy treated her like a sister, but he is the sweet version of her brother, Davien. Timothy can make the young Daniela stop from crying, then laughing in just a matter of seconds. Timothy will leave Davien and his friends just to play with the aloof girl. And whenever his friends are picking a fight on Daniela, he will interfere and stand beside her. That is how Timothy made Daniela's childhood memories remarkable.

She grew up hiding her feelings for him because their sisterly and brotherly friendship is a huge obstacle in her way. Timothy viewed her as a sister, no less, no more. Just a sister.

She hit puberty, she turns lady, she'd grown up into a beautiful woman and all those stages in her life, she's watching. Watching how Timothy changed. From her sweet knight and shining armor into stranger. She'd watched how Tim changed his woman like a girl choosing clothes.

Daniela holds lot of memories with him, almost all of those memories are also rooted on his mind. Almost, but not all. Because they've shared something else that only Daniela knew. And that memory keep on replaying on her mind like a broken cassette. It haunt her.

She loved him for already two decades...

Two decades but during that 7,300 days, she don't have the courage to confess that feeling.

But fate is playful, it is cruel. Because Tim and Daniela aren't aware that they are sharing the same feelings for so long. Tim is protecting his friendship with Davien that is why he had chosen to set gap between himself and Daniela.

Now after two decades of concealing their feelings, it will come out. Bit by bit. Their concealed hearts since childhood will unfold.
