The Way Love's
XLI

The sun is beginning to return. Even so, Sya is still faithfully waiting for Arda's return. He wanted to see Arda's happy face again.

A thin blanket enveloped the faithful Sya sitting in front of the TV. News about Arda is still milling around. I wish there was a message going to his phone. Message from Arda.

Not long the roar of the car made Sya forget her phone. He opened the door and saw who was coming. Arda, he came home with a bag in his hand.

"Finally you are back too" said Sya as she poured into Arda's arms.

Arda gave his bag to the waiter. He let her do what she wanted. This day Arda had left the bored Sya inside the house.

"Why just got home. Didn't you promise to come back soon."

"Sorry, there's been a lot of shows."

"It's been a day like this. I feel so bored. What if for days," said Shay. He looks like he's throwing his face away and doesn't like what's happening.

"Come, Yes. Don't be mad."

"I'm not angry. I'm just upset" said Sya.

"Then. This is for you." Arda thrusting a shopping bag at Sya.

She looked at Arda questioningly. Not usually Arda will come and bring gifts for him.

"I bought you clothes and shoes."

"Forku?"

"Yes. I'm gonna throw a party for this event. I invited all my friends and also my co-workers."

His face changed. He felt that what Aila said on the phone would happen soon. Either by chance or they've met before.

"Let's go in. You need to get ready for this show." Arda clasped Sya's hand.

His eyes stared blankly, suspicion and jealousy now becoming one. It causes pain in the heart. She subconsciously grasped Arda's hand so firmly. Make Arda stop his steps.

"Yes. What was? are you sick?"

Conscious. Shayt shook his head. He looked at Arda with a smile. Sya did not want Arda to know if she felt hurt by her closeness to Aila.

That feeling of jealousy can turn into a trait of wanting to have excess. It would really bother Arda. What else in this life.

"Yes."

"Artha. I was just thinking about my brother. If he's alive, how is he at the moment."

Arda smiled, trying to understand what his wife was feeling.

"You just calm down. I'm still asking my men to find your brother. In a week, I'll get word from him."

"Thank you" said Sya.

Some people came to that house. They carry a lot of stuff. They were the ones who Arda told to decorate the house.

Arda's gonna make a big show that night. He also asked reporters to come. He doesn't want anything covered from out there.

Several times I shook my head. He could not believe what he saw in the mirror. Her face was not as usual, probably because of the clothes and jewelry she was wearing.

Just this time she used excess clothes and jewelry. It looks luxurious and elegant, it's just that Sya's not used to it.

I feel very uncomfortable with that dress. She tried to take back the necklace and earrings she was wearing. She wants to be herself, not another woman.

"Why did you let go? don't you like it?"

Sya undoes her intention to take off her necklace and earrings. He looked at Arda who was standing and was ready.

"I don't like it. I just feel unworthy of all this. I'm not comfortable."

Arda laughed at what Sya said. He did not believe what he heard. Usually women will really like luxury, shiny and expensive items.

"I'm not comfortable," back She said.

"Yes. From today on you should get used to all this. You're my wife, I don't want you to be looked down upon by others."

Back She could only shut up and nod. What Arda said was right. If he did not look luxurious, they would all return to laughing at him. That would put Arda to shame.

The atmosphere outside Arda and Sya's room was already starting to bustle. Even a few times I heard a loud noise. The door knocking was also continuously heard.

"Everyone is waiting for you" said Sya, commenting on a smile.

"Let's get out."

Quiescent. He did not move from his current place. He couldn't be what Arda wanted right now. Arda turned back to look at Sya who was just looking at him.

"What else is it?"

"Yes. I love you, I'll come out if you come with me too."

"Arda," said Shay.

"Do you want me to dance with another woman later."

Hearing this made jealousy return. He remembered that Aila must have come to tease Arda. That made him have to go out with Arda.

"Come on."

Arda and Sya came out hand in hand. Their smiles are expanding. It made their charm that night feel so beautiful.

Arda's friends begin to approach and congratulate Arda on what he has achieved. They also occasionally looked at Sya. They could not believe that the woman next to Arda was the same woman at the reunion.

"Yes. I have to say hello to my business friend, do you want to come?" tawar Arda's.

"No. I'll just stay here."

"All right."

Outside Aila's house is trying to persuade Ruka. He asks Ruka to help him to get closer to Arda. However much she asks Ruka will not help her.

"Didn't you really want to be close to Sya. While I approached her husband. You can be with his wife."

"Came on!"

"Don't be a hypocrite, brother. We'll both benefit."

"Do you think I approached her out of love and lust?"

"What else besides," Aila said lightly.

Ruka could only shake her head when she heard Aila's reply. Aila is so obsessed with Arda that she wants to do whatever it takes to get it.

Seeing that Arda and Sya had already come out, Ruka was intent on approaching them. Until Arda steps away from Sya and leaves her alone.

"Good night" said Ruka.

She looked and smiled. "Night."

"Why don't you say hello to the others?"

"I'd rather be like this. Wanna drink?" tawar Sya's.

"Can."

Shay and Ruka sat on the sofa. They drank with lots of jokes and laughter. Many things make them able to share their stories freely.

The feeling she had been feeling all along made her comfortable. The same feeling when he was with the person he had longed for.

"Look. Aren't they so close" whispered Aila to Arda.

"What indeed. My friend is also my wife's friend" replied Arda without a second thought.

Aila smiled. "I know your wife doesn't get along easily with men. They had only met a few times, but were very close."

"Are you trying to upset me?"

"No. I couldn't have done it. I just..."

"No need to say anything else."

Arda left Aila and approached Sya. Ruka stood up as soon as she saw Arda approaching.

"Where are you going?" ask Arda.

"There's no way I'm bothering a couple."

"You're this. We can sit here together" Arda said.

"I'm very grateful" said Ruka.

They have a lot to talk about. Even until the event was about to end they were still sitting on the sofa. Until the time Ruka said goodbye because a phone entered her phone.

That night's show was quick for Sya. He has to go back to his life. Ruka who she considered her brother had also left.

"Are you tired?" ask Arda as soon as the guests have left.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then get some rest. I want to sleep too."
