The Way Love's
LXXX

His eyes are still not closed. He sat close to the window of his room. His eyes did not look in any direction. The look was empty.

He was still thinking about Ruka's words. Sya was eager to meet Luphas and ask him directly. Only, since this afternoon Lufas was not in his place.

Lufas tells Sya that they don't love each other. Why accelerate marriage. In fact, if they have a long distance relationship. That's the easy thing.

Tok to tok.

His body was blown away in shock. He looked towards the door. No one came in. There was only a knock on the door. Usually if Mira or Ruka were to come, they would go straight in.

Tok to tok.

The door was knocked back. She finally moved from her seat. He opened the door. There's no one there. There was only a white box that was quite large.

The hallway looks quite dark. So, his view is not so clear. Even though there was actually someone watching him.

"Why is this heavy enough" Shayt said as he lifted the box.

He put the box on his bed. The box is pure white. Slowly opened the box.

His eyes could not blink at what he saw. Such a beautiful dress with shoes that are designed the same as the dress.

A little memo was tucked between the dresses. I read it slowly. A love poem. Below it is written the name of Lufas with his sign as well.

"It turns out he can be romantic too."

The smile on Sya's face slowly expanded beautifully.

Meanwhile, Lufas could only stare from afar. Yeah, he's in the building next door. Even he could see what was happening in Sya's room when the curtains were not closed.

After looking at Sya. Lufas sat down and drank a soda. He started pressing the TV remote and started watching news shows. Until a message came into his phone.

Message from the woman across the street. Sya. She thanked me for giving her such a beautiful dress.

"You are indeed fit to wear that dress" Lufas said without replying to the message.

Lufas turned towards Sya's room. The curtains there are closed tightly. It was obvious that Sya would immediately close her eyes quietly.

A bright morning with the sun shining brightly. It made everyone feel excited that morning.

But not for Sya. He was still asleep in his blanket. His eyes are still tightly closed. No one could disturb her sleep that morning.

Mira knocked on the door a few times. But the door was not opened from the inside. Inevitably Mira ends up using the spare key she brought.

How shocked Mira when she saw Sya was still sound in the blanket. The room was so messy because of the clothes that were scattered.

"Miss. Miss, it's morning." Mira tries to wake Sya up slowly.

"I still want to sleep. Why are you bothering me," sounds typical of Sya.

Mira sighed and immediately pulled the blanket without excuse. He looked at Sya with a stern look.

"What's wrong?" Finally he asked that.

"Today you must marry."

"What?!"

"Yes. Everything is prepared. You just have to prepare."

His eyes turned. He looked at the calendar beside him. He should have been married in three days. Why did she have to get married today. In fact, Sya also still did not get an explanation from Lufas.

"Miss don't think much. Mr. Lufas and Mr. Ruka are already waiting."

I don't know where the motivation is and why I got married. He woke up and started to prepare himself. I thought this marriage would calm Ruka down.

Mira helps as much as she can in her preparation. Until the time Sya is being polished make up. He's not smiling. He just stared blankly at the glass.

"Miss, is there a problem?"

Sya shakes.

"Then why does Miss look unhappy?"

"Of course."

After everything is done. He walked to the ready car. He will come to the place where the event is held. This time, I thought nothing. He just hoped that Ruka would stop worrying about him.

The show looks so calm. There are only a few guests. He doesn't know them. There were only Ruka and Lufas that he knew. Even so, Sya reviewed the smile to make it look good.

"Finally you came too" said Ruka as she approached Sya.

"I don't know the show now."

"sorry. This is very sudden Sya," said Ruka again.

"No problem, brother."

Calm and so solemn. No disturbance at all. The event so sacred has now been completed. There is only one partner who is filled with happiness.

"Lufas," call Sya softly.

"Yes. What's up?"

"Why do you want to marry me so soon. Aren't we..."

"I know Sya. It's just, somehow I can change my feelings that fast."

This time I was made silent. He didn't know if Lufas would say that. For Sya, it makes no sense to fall in love for just a few seconds. Even if he ever made that mistake.

"Yes. Trust me. I'll make you happy."

There's no answer. There was only a thin smile that Sya reviewed. Then he decided to sit quietly in the car.

Arda threw the items that were in front of him back then. This time, his feelings were shattered. What he was fighting for now was completely owned by someone else.

Craang. The glass in the room was even hit hard. Arda's hand was bleeding, it was just that the wound was unable to remove the wound in his heart.

"Why do you want to marry him? You love me so much, don't you?" lirih Arda in solitude.

"I love you so much."

Arda. The woman next to him came in a P3K box. He pulled Arda's hand slowly and treated her.

In a rough way Arda pulled his hand. He stared hatefully at Aila. This time, he could not hide his sense of regret anymore.

"You only added to the wound in Aila's heart. If only there were no you in this world. Surely she will be mine."

Aila was shocked by Arda's statement. He took a few steps back until the table next to him fell down. Almost on his feet.

"I should have imprisoned you from the beginning. How stupid of me to follow your play."

"Ka... You... You remember everything?"

"Yes. I remember it."

Aila shook her head. He almost cried at that moment.

Arda's eyes stared deeply at Aila. Then he pulled Aila's hand violently. Not long after some people came in. They wear full police uniforms.

"Artha. I beg you to forgive me."

"I'll forgive you. Just so you go to jail."

"Artha. I beg you, Arda."

Without a word Arda handed Aila into the hands of the police. It was certain that Aila would be severely punished.

Still continue with Aila's refusal to thrash when taken by the police. Arda sat next to the table. He stared blankly with his mind still fixed on Sya.

The one that now belongs to someone else. The one he won't be able to have anymore.

Tuk tuk tuk.

Someone came in and approached Arda. He tried to help Arda stand up. Arda refused and punched him in the face.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"Artha. Calm yourself first."

"You're telling me to calm down? I've tried everything and you let Sya marry someone else."

Ruka threw away her face. "You should be happy. She won't be slumped again because she's with the right partner."

Arda could not speak anymore. He used to be wrong. Never thought about his feelings. Now when Sya has been owned by others, Arda is so sorry and slumped.

"Artha. Open a new page for your heart."

"I know."

Just finished the shower. He looked at Lufas who was busy with his suitcase. He approached and asked directly.

"Why are you packing?" Ask Sya.

"Yes. We have to get out of here in the morning."

His eyes are round, "Tomorrow? Why tomorrow. I still want to be here."

"Yes. I also want it that way. It's just that the company there needs a leader."

No words were spoken from his lips. Just a look of uneasiness and disappointment there.

"You've become my wife. So, you have to go wherever I go."

"I knew. It's just, me and Ruka..."

"Just calm. We'll visit him often."

Hear that. He feels more calm. He nodded and began to help Luphas. Though he still thinks about Ruka.

When you are finished preparing everything. Lufas out of the room. He soon returned with food. Certainly his favorite food. It made Sya smile.

"Thank you for the food."

"No problem. Oh yeah, do you still have our marriage agreement?"

He put his spoon and fork back. Then he looked at Lufas. Seeing this, Lufas sat in front of Sya.

"You know, we don't have to have it anymore. I will open my heart to you" said Lufas.

"Pbuzza. Just yesterday you said there would be no such thing in this marriage. Then why are you changing all of a sudden?"

"I know this is crazy. Really, I'm starting to like you."

Feeling something is wrong. He decided to just shut up.

"Where did you keep it?" Ask Lufas again.

"I'll keep it until I can love you" said Sya.

"Ba. It's up to you."

His eyes looked back at the food in front of him. Then he pushed the plate. Her appetite is now gone.

"Pbuzza. You know I love my sister very much. Tonight, I'll be with him. After that, I'll have a hard time seeing him again."

"Yes. I'll wait for you."

Shay out of the room. He walked through the hallways of the hotel with an uneasy mind.

She married without love. That's no problem for him. The problem is Ruka, Sya feels sad when she knows she will be away from her brother.

"Miss," Mira's call surprised Sya, "Where is she going?"

"I want to see Ruka."

"Mr Ruka is gone."

A disappointed look appeared on Sya's face.

"Is there a problem, Miss?"

"No. Then I'll go back to the room."

That night, Sya could not meet with Ruka. Disappointed, he entered the room again. Looking at Lufas who had fallen asleep on the bed.

With a slow step. I took the blanket in the closet. Tonight, he'll sleep on the couch. Because there is no love in this marriage.
