The Way Love's
L

The clang of kitchen tools has decorated the house Sya. Before Eri woke up, Sya had already started her day. He made some food that morning. I don't know what made him so excited.

Eri came with a face that had not been touched by the water. He sat down and poured water into the glass. After a few gulps Eri put the glass back and looked at Sya who was still busy. She was not even aware of Eri's arrival.

"Why are you cooking so early? will there be guests?" ask Eri.

She turned her head, she covered her sweet smile.

"Good morning, Eri."

Eri just smiled. He knew that Sya was very happy. Even without a meeting, the short message he sent to Arda was able to make Sya's feelings turbulent again.

"Are you going back to that house?" ask Eri.

She tapped her shoulders. He sat in front of Eri. All the cooking is done. He thought about what Eri said.

"If Arda takes me. I'll come back and take my place in that house again."

"What about the house and the cafe?"

Sya smiled. "I know you can handle it for me."

This time Eri could not refuse the request from Sya. After all, he had already stopped working at Arda's company. Not because of the small payment, but because Eri is not comfortable in the company.

When they start breakfast. The doorbell rings several times. At high speed he walked towards the door. He opened the door with enthusiasm.

A smile greeted Him. The smile she had longed for. The meeting he had been waiting for. The return of the lover to his side.

Without saying. He slid into Arda's arms. She hugged her husband tightly. Without feeling the tears begin to drip. Tears of happiness flowing from his heart.

"Why did you just come for me?" lirih Sya in arms.

"You just called me yourself."

Sya nodded. If only he hadn't changed his number in the first place. Arda will not be far from him. The hug ended as a burning smell began to fill the room.

Sya turned her head and saw Eri was trying to turn off the stove. The fire had already started to spread towards the frying pan and the curtains in the kitchen.

Without any warning Sya and Arda went straight into the kitchen and helped Eri put out the fire. It was fortunate that the fire could still be dealt with by them. After the fire was completely extinguished, the three of them looked at each other and laughed together.

"What are you doing? do you want to burn this place down?" ask Eri.

"sorry. I'm too cool looking at you both."

"That's it. Let's eat" said Sya.

The three of them started breakfast with light and pleasant chats. Without realizing it, Eri was able to compensate for what Arda was talking about. He just occasionally nodded and laughed.

The sun is getting close to the problem. Sya with an unsettled heart sat on the chair. His eyes kept staring out the glass of the cafe.

Yes, this afternoon Arda promised to pick her up. They'll go back to their homes. Even though there was Aila, Sya was ready with all the consequences.

He was ready if he had to see the indulgence that was going on between Arda and Aila. Aila is pregnant at the moment. He can make excuses to stay by Arda's side.

While Sya. He only has love and loyalty for Arda. If it was destined, she also wanted to have hope in her stomach. His love and Arda.

"Look who's coming" said Eri.

Sya. It looks like Ruka entered with great authority. His smile can calm her. The comfort is back.

"Is Arda going to pick you up?" asked Ruka who looked at the bag beside Sya.

Sya nodded. She knew, Ruka had always supported her. Although Sya does not know the reason Ruka did this to him. He remembered his sister Dava. The longing is back.

"Sister Ruka. Thanks for everything. The brother who supported me and made Arda come back to me."

"What are you talking about. Your love and Arda are too strong. Nothing will separate you."

Sya smiled. He moved his feet closer to Ruka. Unexpectedly, Sya hugged Ruka tightly. Unknowingly, Ruka shed tears.

Before everyone is conscious. Ruka wiped those tears away. She let go of Sya's embrace and looked into Sya's eyes.

"You already have a husband. Don't hug a man."

"Do you want to be my sister?" asked Sya regardless of Ruka's words.

Ruka quiet. He was unable to speak at this moment. Until Arda came in and went straight to Sya. Lovingly, Arda held Sya's hand.

Sya nodded.

"You here?" ask Arda to Ruka.

"Yes. I've helped Sya a few times in this cafe."

Arda's forehead frowned. Indirectly Ruka said if she first knew where Sya was. It ignited the anger in Arda's heart. He was upset with his friend.

"So. You already know Sya's here and didn't tell me?"

Ruka scratched her head which was not itchy. He smiled at Arda. That made Arda angry. Arda almost threw a punch at Ruka, but she was arrested.

"I asked him not to tell you."

"Are you sure?" ask Arda.

"Yes. I didn't intend to call you at first either."

"What was the reason you called me? is it because of Ruka?"

"Yes, because he's my brother."

His reply made some of the people who were there silent. They looked at Sya with questionable eyes. While Ruka could not only gawk.

"What did you say?" ask Arda in a low voice.

Sya smiled. "Yes. At first I didn't believe it either. When I met Ruka's sister for the first time. I feel close and familiar with him."

"Is that your only reason?"

"No," said Sya who turned to Eri, "the feeling made me uneasy. Even I feel my love for Arda is an illusion."

"Then?" ask Arda and Eri simultaneously.

"I deliberately approached Ruka. I took some of her hair. In fact, I also got a blood tab when I accidentally injured him."

Sya.

"I don't know why Ruka lied to me. He changed his identity from Dava to Ruka. Right now, this is the only proof that he is my brother" Sya said, showing a paper.

Paper is not paper. It was a copy of the results of a DNA test done by Sya secretly. He did that himself.

Eri and Arda approached and read word for word. During this time Eri and Arda had been mistaken for Ruka. They think that Ruka loves Sya because of her lover's love.

"Sister...." She looked back.

There's no one. I don't know since when Ruka left that place. While Arda and Eri are still trying to accept everything. Sya ran out to look for Ruka.

Ruka sat with her legs crossed in front of the cafe. He sat down while staring at the neatly lined clouds carrying the sun back.

She sat down beside Ruka. He stared at the person who had been protecting him all along without giving his true identity.

"Did you know that long ago?" ask Ruka.

"Yet. I only found out yesterday when the test results came out."

"Are you happy?" ask Ruka.

"No."

Ruka looked at Sya. He looked down with tears.

"I'm not happy because Big Brother prefers to be quiet and not tell me the truth. Does brother know? I almost accepted someone else to be my brother."

"What's Jeremy?"

Sya nodded.

"He's not a friend. You don't trust him. I'll tell you why I changed my name. It's better when you get back to Arda. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Good."

Ruka put her foot away. So too did Sya who stepped back at Arda. Now, his life will feel complete with Ruka and Arda beside him.
