The Way Love's
XXIV

Sya's relationship improved with Arda since Arda drove Sya home. That made Miss Ken and Zein's mother happy. Nothing made them worry anymore.

"You know. Their improved relationship makes me happy" said Madame Ken who approved the nod by Zein's mother.

"Anyway thank you. You're going to accept my daughter."

Madam Ken chuckled. He patted Zein's mother's shoulder.

"Don't hesitate. Anyway, you helped me. Until finally you have to go to the doctor."

"No problem. At that time, I was thinking only of your son. I don't want him to lose his mother."

This time Madame Ken was teary-eyed at Zein's mother's reply. He didn't know that Zein's mother hadn't come. Arda has been a motherless child since childhood.

Suddenly madam Ken's phone rings. Make their conversation cut off. Seeing the name on the phone screen made Madame Ken silent.

"Thank you if it matters" said Zein's mother, who saw Mrs Ken's face change.

Click, madam Ken chose to turn off the phone. He also turned off his phone.

"Is there a problem?" ask Zein's mom.

"No. Just a little business."

Zein's mother who didn't want to interfere was silent. He did not want his friend's mood to be ruined.

They feel like there is nothing they need to discuss. Madam Ken and Zein's mother parted ways outside the diner. They each returned to their homes.

Even so, Mrs Ken was still silent in the car. He had no intention of barking his cell phone. She didn't think Mila had called her since.

"Hows it? did mom pick up your phone?" ask Jovi.

Mila shakes.

Jovi looked very upset, "Always this way. He never thinks of you. He was thinking about Arda. I regret marrying you."

Jovi's words succeeded in keeping Mila quiet. Only her tears speak.

They're in the children's hospital. Where Sima is being treated. Yes, they intend to find a house until Sima finally feels pain again.

Many people passed by, but could not make Mila's heart feel crowded. He only felt hurt because Sima was in the ICU room. Jovi continues to blame him.

"How is Sima doing?" asked Arda as soon as he got near Mila.

Mila turned her head and immediately hugged Arda tightly. All this time only Arda cared when Sima was in the hospital. What else when Mila was down.

"You can only cry" said Jovi. He looks so fucked up.

"Can't you soften your speech?!" this time Arda looks upset with the behavior of his sister-in-law.

Jovi chuckled, "You can't manage me just because of Mila. You know why I still want to be with him."

Mila took her hug off Arda. With a quick movement Arda managed to hit Jovi in the face.

Mila looked up at that. He does not know if Arda can ignite his emotions because of Jovi. Jovi almost got back the blow. Until Sya comes and pulls Arda's body.

"What are you guys doing? it's in the hospital."

Arda was silent. While Jovi smiled and was about to get closer to Sya.

"Don't get close to me" said Sya, "i'm not here because of you. I'm here because of Sima."

"At least you tried to stop me. I thank you," Jovi said with a teasing smile.

Arda again ignited his emotions because of Jovi's behavior to Sya. She approached and held Jovi's hand.

"Let him go. It's not good to make a fuss here" said Sya.

Arda nodded. He didn't want Sya to be angry at him for this. These days Arda feels that Sya is a good woman. Not what he thought he was.

"How is Sima doing?" sya asked Mila who was standing with a blank look.

Mila shakes.

"It's okay. We'll have the doctor do everything possible."

She kept trying to calm Mila. Although occasionally Sya's eyes glanced at Arda. At times like this, Arda looks very worried. Just this time, Sya saw that gaze from Arda.

"You rest first. Arda and I will be here" Sya said.

"I'm troubling you" said Mila.

"No. I already consider Sima as my son. You take it easy."

"True what Sya said," said Arda.

Mila nodded. Then he left Sya and Arda. He knew, if Sya and Arda would keep their promise.

He looked at Arda. The man he used to hate. Now, that hate has changed. There was something else that made Sya endure and able to stare at Arda.

What's more, Arda's nature is now better. He no longer likes to be angry and upset. In fact, Arda is now more attentive to Sya.

"Where are you going?" ask Sya.

"I have to see a friend first. Do you want to come?" ask Arda.

She shook her head, "I'm going to the hospital with Mila."

Arda nodded, then left the room. I saw the watch Arda used to wear. Obviously if Arda forgot to wear it. Having just come out, Sya rushed over to give the clock away.

I saw that Arda was covering something up. He looked agitated and pale on his face. Of course making Sya feel worried, what else Arda to forget his watch.

Until the moment I stopped in place. He saw Arda sitting with his pale face. Mrs Ken looked worried and immediately gave her some water. He also gave Arda a pill.

"Why have you always been like this Arda," said Madame Ken.

"Ma, I don't want to rely on drugs anymore. I'm healed, there's Sya beside me."

Madame Ken clucked, "Arda. If you forget to take your medicine. You can go back to how you used to be, I'll get hurt because of you."

Quiescent. I don't know what's going on. He just found out that Arda's been taking a drug all along. Sya could only shut up and try to digest what Madam Ken had said.

"Listen Mama. If you really love Sya, you keep taking this medicine. Only this way can you give your wife what she wants."

Arda turned to his mother, "What is my nature so bad when I don't take medicine?"

Mrs Ken did not answer. It's just his eyes are glazed. She knew Arda had a very sensitive feeling at a time like this.

"Ma, is my nature so bad?" ask Arda back.

Madam Ken shook her head, but with tears. Then, madam Ken approached Arda. He hugged her tightly, a mother's embrace.

"Mama loves you. Everyone loves you, your nature is not bad. You just need to calm down" said Mrs Ken.

I feel unworthy to see that. He decided to go into the room and lock it. He felt entitled to know what Arda suffered.

Cabinets even until the drawer of the table is open. He tried to search, only he did not find the cure.

"Where do you keep it," she said.

Until Sya remembers, where Arda would go when she didn't like it. Where Arda would feel calmer without friends and everyone.
