The Way Love's
XCIX

Sunlight began to enter through the curtain slit. The light slowly illuminated everything inside. Bright and warm.

His eyes are still closed. He even pulled his blanket again due to the incoming rays. I don't know why I feel lazy to go from there.

In the kitchen, Xiu was preparing breakfast. Not to forget the breakfast for me too. When he finished, Xiu went into Sya's room. He saw Sya who rolled herself up in the blanket.

"Do you still want to be in the blanket on this sunny morning?"

"Sister, I feel comfortable here," said Sya innocently.

"If so you can come often. I'll always open the door for you."

She uncovers the blanket that covers her. He immediately sat down while looking at Xiu who was standing beside the bed.

"I have a husband. I know this."

Xiu smiled. He sat down next to her. She was willing to lose this comfort and remember her husband.

"Breakfast. Then you can go back to your husband."

"Yes. I'll take a shower first."

Xiu nodded. "I'll wait for you at the table to eat."

Unknowingly feeling very warm to the current existence of Sya. He felt again what a family was. It made Xiu reluctant to be left behind Sya again.

By instinct a mother Xiu serves breakfast for Sya. It made Sya smile. He had never felt this kind of thing before.

"Yes. Can I say something?" Xiu asked on the side of eating.

"Tell me."

"Do you want to be my sister? I mean, I don't have anyone. So, I want you to be my sister."

He stopped eating. He looked at Xiu who had just said that. She felt that there was something different about Xiu at the moment.

"If you don't want to. I'm fine."

"Why does Brother Xiu want me to be a sister? Is there a specific reason. We've known you not long."

"I knew. I just feel like you can make me feel like a big brother."

"You mean Brother Xiu?"

Xiu finally said what he had been feeling all along. He felt lonely in this life. He feels alone.

His parents and brother died in an accident. Only Xiu survived. Xiu could rise to this point because of the determination in his strong heart. He wanted to find the person who hit his family's car back then.

"For all this time, I've only had that excuse."

Hearing all of that made Sya touched. After all, he only felt a flash of love from his parents.

"We can be brothers. It would be nice if I had a sister like you."

Xiu looked up his face in disbelief. He saw Sya smiling gently at him. It was so fun. From today on, they will be sisters who strengthen each other.

The alarm on the clock suddenly sounded. That made Xiu aware that he had meetings with important clients. He hurriedly took his bag.

"I have an important meeting. You can leave after breakfast," Xiu said.

"Good, Brother."

After Xiu came out of the apartment. He himself returned to reality. Where she already has a husband even though there is currently a conflict. I tried to think of a way to remove that confusion.

Breakfast is over. Wash your utensils and prepare to leave. Xiu's apartment lock is automatic. So, I don't have to think about how to lock it.

Just got to the bottom. Sya was already startled with Lufas who instantly withdrew her hand. Roughly Lufas put Sya in the car.

They said nothing in the car. Luphas just locked the door so that Sya wouldn't come out. Until suddenly Luphas kissed Sya by force.

The shocked Sya immediately tried to release Lufas' embrace. He slapped Lufas at that very instant. It managed to make Lufas ignited his emotions. Without a word Lufas back slapped Sya.

"Why did you slap me? I kissed you because you're my wife" Lufas said.

"Yes, but you did it at the wrong time. These few days you've been quieting me. Then suddenly you came and did this to me. Luphas, I'm not your shirt you can wear and you just take it off. I'm a human being with feelings."

Lufas smiled wickedly. He showed me a picture of him.

"What do you mean by feeling. You already have a husband, but openly meet another man."

"Where did you get that photo?"

"You don't need to know. I just want you to explain what happened to me."

Because I don't want to fight for too long. I try to tell everything. The reason he met Arda at that moment. But what Lufas did was unexpected.

After listening to all the stories. Lufas took Sya down from the car. He also immediately hit the gas without thinking of Sya.

Sya justifies his shirt. Then he looked at Lufas' car that started to drift away. I don't know what he's done, but it's obvious that Lufas is currently so angry.

***

Several times Lufas punched the wall in his study. He felt so angry at what Sya said. He felt that right now Anna was right about what Sya was doing.

Suspicion about Sya and Arda's mutual love makes Lufas rise in blood. Even if he didn't feel the hand, he still punched the wall.

Ben who heard that from the secretary of Lufas immediately came. He went into Luphas' room and saw Lufas's bloodied hands. Without a second thought Ben stopped him.

"What are you doing?" Ben asked with a little scream.

Ben pulled Lufas and pushed him up the chair. He looked at Lufas for a sign of not understanding. This time Ben sat in front of Lufas. Hoping if Lufas would say something for an explanation.

"It looks like I fell back on the same thing. I was betrayed again" Lufas said later.

Ben just stared at Lufas. He didn't want to say anything. If he did, Luphas would definitely return silent.

"Every time I love someone. He will leave when my love gets stronger. I'm going crazy right now."

"Is it because of Anna?"

"No. Yes, he has been idolizing me. She's still seeing her ex-husband. Now I don't know what to do. I just wish Sya was mine."

"If you're being too hard on him. He's definitely going to leave. Love her as Sya, not Nita" Ben said.

Lufas just stared blankly.

"I don't mean to give you advice. I only know that Sister Sya loves you too. He can even be patient when you and Anna are so close. Now you're accusing him of this."

"I never thought of her as Nita. I just assumed he was betraying me."

"Do you know why he met Arda?"

Lufas nodded. "He told me."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I left it in Kak Xiu's apartment parking lot."

"You're out of your mind. This time I'll give you one suggestion. You better fix everything."

Ben came out of the study. He allowed Lufas to think things through. He knew it was impossible to betray Luphas. She is not like Nita.
