The Way Love's
LXXXVIII

She couldn't sleep last night. He just cried regretting what he did. How foolish he was to marry without love. Even though he said it didn't matter, his heart still said no.

His hands shook. He stared at the screen of his phone that read Arda's name. I feel like contacting him again. Only, there is a Luphas who now binds him in a marriage.

A Luphas kindness given to Sya. It succeeds in making Ruka and Sya open her heart. Marriage happens and all this happens. He continues to blame himself.

"Miss, sir is waiting at the dinner table."

"Tell to Lufas. I'm not hungry."

"Good, Miss."

Without thinking long she pulled the blanket again. He was hiding inside there with an erratic heart.

A hand rubbed his head slowly. His heart was beating faster than ever before. I don't know who did that.

"Didn't you want to welcome your sister?"

Ruka's voice managed to make Sya open the blanket. With a spirit Sya hugged Ruka tightly. After two more weeks, Sya was finally able to meet with Ruka.

"Why are you just in the room? Your breakfast will be cold."

"I'm not hungry, brother."

Ruka laughed a little. He patted her shoulder slowly.

"Is there a problem between you and Lufas?"

He just smiled thinly. He did not answer what Ruka was asking. It was free if he told his brother. Ruka will definitely defend Lufas.

When I will say something. Lufas walked in with neat clothes and a smile on his face.

"Have I not fulfilled my promise? I invited your brother."

He just smiled.

"Today, take a walk with Ruka. I'm going to the office and maybe come home late."

"Yes," shirked.

Cup. A kiss landed softly on Sya's forehead. It is not usual for Lufas to do this, is it possible because there is Ruka there.

"I'll go first, Ka."

"Yes." Yeah."

After Lufas left Sya opened her blanket and opened the balcony door. He wanted Ruka to see an amazing sight there.

Ruka approached to Sya. He breathed in the fresh air. Then a smile fluttered by Ruka. He knew, Sya was happy with Lufas. Lufas gave everything he wanted.

"The views here are amazing. You must be happy," said Ruka.

"I'm happy, but not happy."

Sya's words managed to provoke the next question from Ruka.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not happy with my life right now. I feel bound and not free. Sis, sis,..."

"Yes. Lufas loves you very much. Don't think about anything else."

"Sister, I didn't think of anything else. It's just, I don't love Lufas."

"Yes. Love will come with time. You need to know who your husband is, get to know him and you're gonna fall for him."

Sya clucked. He will definitely not get any support. Now I can only live with this reality.

"You should forget about Arda. For eternity."

Ruka was preparing to leave from Sya's room. He felt that what he had to say had been conveyed. Either I listen to it or not.

"He's a mafia, brother. He's so cruel."

Ruka's hand stopped. He turned around and approached. He immediately closed his mouth with his hand.

She just shook her head and tried to let go of Ruka's hand. I don't know why Ruka did that.

"You know where it's coming from?"

The question confused him.

"I'm asking you. You know from who? Does Lufas know you already know everything?"

"No need to know where I know. I also don't know if Lufas knows or not, but why did you do this?"

This time Ruka's face looked agitated. All this time he had kept everything in a meeting. Now I don't know where she knows everything.

"Maybe you already know this?"

Ruka nodded slowly.

She smiled slightly, but she felt that she had been greatly betrayed. Ruka had already covered everything from Sya. That was very disappointing.

"Then why did you let me marry him? He's so cruel."

Ruka clasped her hand tightly.

"I did it because I didn't want you to get hurt."

"What does Brother mean?"

"You know. I was devastated when I met you that day. Then Lufas helped me, I knew he was cruel. It's just that I need his help to get you off Arda."

"Yes. I just want you to live happily. Live this life as you please, but don't make Lufas hurt. He could've done something bad to you."

"So, this was all planned. Then what would happen if I went away from him?"

Ruka did not know what to say to Sya. If he was telling the truth, it wasn't just Sya who was in danger. Ruka and all who love Sya will also be hurt.

"Tell me, brother. If I don't say it, I'll go. I don't want to see you anymore either."

"Yes. Listen to me first."

"Tell me everything, brother."

"Yes. You have to stick with him. I was wrong to get you married to her. It's just, it's too late. You're not the only one who's gonna get hurt. I could have killed him, too."

Hearing this, he could no longer speak. He was trapped in a dark circle. A circle that he should stay away from forever.

"For what reason does he want to kill me and kill you, brother."

"If he wants to kill, he doesn't need to have a reason. What else is he really falling for you right now."

She shook her head softly.

"If you want. Take advantage of his love, you will be free. It's just I can't help you with this."

"All right."

Ruka then left the room. Sya. He was still thinking about his conversation with Ruka. If it's like this, I don't know how to get out of this situation. What's more, Lufas can do anything without thinking first.

"I've done what you wanted. So let me go back," said Ruka.

"Yes. Thanks for your help."

"I know."

Luphas gave a gift to Ruka. After that Ruka got into the car to return to her city. He'll run his business back there.

Meanwhile Lufas chose some goods in the store for him to give to Sya. He wanted to make Sya happy just like what Ruka said. It will make Sya slowly open her heart to the love of Lufas.

"I want all this stuff delivered to my house. Let Sya choose what she likes."

After buying all that stuff. Starting from bags, clothes, sandals, shoes and much more. Lufas returned to the office. He had a meeting with some friends, who were certainly able to make a lot of money.

"Master. What is this is not an exaggeration" the secretary of the Lufas told Lufas.

Luphas turned his head and looked at the expenditure he had just made.

"You can go and get your pocket money if you don't like it."

"Sorry, Sir."

Without taking a long time finally Lufas arrived at the office. His friends are waiting. Some say about Lufas' marriage.

"Yes. He hid a beautiful woman from us" said a red-haired friend.

"I'm not hiding it. I just don't want you to see my wife's beauty."

Everyone there laughed. Then they refocus on their goals. The secretary of Lufas was currently not inside, he had orders to deliver all the items to Averest villa.

Meanwhile, he was opening a magazine that was on the table. He sat down with green tea and some snacks. Until the knock on the door distracts him.

"Excuse me," said the secretary of Lufas.

"Yes. Are you looking for Lufas?" Ask Him directly.

"Ti.ti.ti..no." The secretary's voice sounded trembling as she looked at Sya's face.

He tried to get closer.

"Miss Nita," said the secretary.

"I'm not Nita."

"But.but..."

"Yes. Lufas also said I look like Nita."

The secretary nodded.

"Oh yeah. What the hell are you here for? There must be something important."

"Mr Lufas sent all this stuff for you."

One by one, people came in. Some carry bags, shoes, sandals, clothes and others.

He didn't say anything. He was shocked by what the Lufas had sent. I don't know what else the Lufas are up to.

"He sent all this for me?"

"Yes, Miss."

"Then what about my old clothes?"

"Master asked to just throw it away."

He was shocked by what he heard. He was already truly a puppet of the Lufas at this moment. Refusing everything cannot be. So, Sya just nodded and did what Luphas wanted.
