The Way Love's
VII

With definite steps. I opened the door of the party room. Brak, everyone's looking. Their eyes were staring at him.

Stare in amazement and disbelief. A very different woman. With a dark red dress and makeup that is not bad. This time I felt confident.

A look made Sya feel very special. Jovi, the man is still in the party room with his wife. Even so, his eyes could not lie. Jovi prefers a Sya that is viewed without breaking.

"Include me, she's Ken's future daughter-in-law. Shaheila Zein."

Sya was made aware by the words of Madame Ken. He is not the lover who will be with Jovi. She will be joined by Arda, Jovi's sister-in-law.

He bowed his head to pay respect to everyone. Every now and then, Sya glanced at the man of her dreams. There was still the same vibe, just like when I first met because of Sima.

"The dance is about to begin. Go to Arda," said Miss Ken to Sya.

She smiled with force. Then he nodded. Slowly he stepped his stiff feet in high heels.

Bruk, almost fell because he tripped over his big dress. Quickly, Jovi caught the body. Their views meet.

"Thank you" said Sya.

Jovi smiles. He and I could only look at each other without a word. Until a hand pulls Sya's hand away from Jovi.

"What are you doing?" ask Arda.

He did not answer. He was still looking at Jovi.

"Yes. What are you doing?" ask Arda again.

This time she turned her head and stared dislikefully at Arda.

"What is your business. I love him, what else do I do."

Arda smiled cynically, "Have you forgotten what you said to me. You want to forget it, but your body wants it."

Remember, Sya remembered what she said to Arda. He wants to be with Arda because he wants to forget Jovi. Even though the result is even closer to Jovi.

"Harta does change a woman" Arda said.

"What did you say?" the tone does not accept appears in Sya's pronunciation.

"Yes. You only love money, if you've got everything from Jovi. You're gonna leave him and find a new one."

All he did was to hold back his feelings. Then, the music began to flow softly. Arda pulled out Sya's hand and started to ask her to dance.

Unexpectedly, she was able to dance so beautifully. In fact, Arda was fascinated by the beauty of it.

***

The show's done. Guests started coming home one by one. He now stood in confusion in the middle of the room. Should he change or should he return with his clothes.

Arda wanted to get closer and drive him home. Not until Arda approached, Jovi was already on the side of Sya.

"So your dance is very beautiful" said Jovi.

His cheeks blushed. He could not help but feel happy for the praise Jovi had given him.

Jovi looked around. There was no one in the room. There's only the two of them. With the speed of the hand, Jovi draws Sya closer to her.

Bummer. Sya tried to stay away just that Jovi was holding her tightly.

"What are you doing?" ask Sya.

Jovi smiled, "Don't hesitate. There's just the two of us here. We can dance as we please."

I don't understand what Jovi meant.

"You know? I'm so jealous to see you dance with Arda."

For a moment Sya was almost exposed to a dreadful seduction from Jovi. However, a shadow of his mother appeared in the corner of his eye. Strictly pushing Jovi.

"It's Jovi's fault. It shouldn't."

"Yes, I love you. You know, my relationship with Mila wasn't good." Jovi says it by holding tightly onto Sya's hand.

He shook his head quickly. He tries to walk away, but Jovi keeps getting closer. Seeing the state of Sya, Arda finally came out.

"Why haven't you come home yet?" ask Arda.

Jovi is shocked and turns to Arda. I close my eyes because I feel saved. However, Sya has been assisted by Jovi several times.

"Aren't you my fiancee. You should have delivered me."

Seeing the departure of Jovi. There is a bad taste in my heart. After all, it was Jovi who was able to make Sya give up her love.

"Stop it. You're not a fight woman?"

She turned, "What am I taking. If he's my right. He will definitely come back to me" said Sya.

"You want Jovi to divorce my sister?" ask Arda then.

She shook her head, "No. I wasn't..."

"Then why are you still waiting for him."

"I wasn't waiting for him."

"But you're still tempted by the sweet word. Sooner or later, you'll be a usurper."

His eyes glare. That's true what Arda said. If he could still be tempted, he could just do something out of bounds. How to get out of that nameless love.

"I'll drive you, come on."

Arda pulls Sya's hand to follow her out of the Ken family home. Arriving at the parking lot, Sya stopped and looked at Arda.

"Why do you want to keep helping me?" ask Sya.

Arda turned around, "You know why. I don't want to see my mother hurt even until she cries."

"Even if we get married?"

"Yes. My love for only one woman, my mother."

I no longer know how to. He thought, Arda could be his escape right now. It's just that, the sincere reason of Arda makes Sya back to remember her mother.

"So, I'll marry you so that Jovi doesn't divorce Mila."

She raised her head as soon as she heard what Arda said. Without love for him. Arda intends to marry Sya to keep her family intact. Surely, Sya and Jovi are going to get hurt in this.

In fact, getting in the car there was nothing they said. He is still busy with his own thoughts. If she marries Arda, she'll keep seeing Jovi. That would make him miserable from time to time.

***

Eri felt strange with his silence. Since coming home in a party dress. He just sat with his eyes glaring somewhere.

"Yes," Eri patted Sya's shoulder gently.

She turned her head and said, "If I marry Arda. I'll always see Jovi. It'll hurt me indirectly."

Eri understood what Sya felt. He gave me some water and was drunk straight away by Sya.

"Listen to me, you can just fall in love with Jovi. Why can't you fall in love with Arda?" ask Eri.

He changed his sitting position.

"where possible. They are both very different. Arda only loves his mother, while Jovi loves me."

"Your love for Jovi is not love. You just feel amazed for a moment. At least learn to love Arda. Maybe you'll feel at ease when you marry her."

"If he doesn't love me?"

Eri nodded. He patted Sya's shoulder gently.

"If you love her. You can make him fall in love with you."

Heard what Eri said. He felt the need to do it. With that, I will make my mother happy. She will also make Arda calm because her mother and sister are happy.

"I'll do your advice" Sya said later.

Eri was happy because this time Sya heard what she said.

"Hurry to change clothes. Then we can eat" said Eri.

"All right."

He went into the room without any more anxiety. He tried to be himself again. For a while, she slumped because of Jovi.
