I Love You

Arkan was still silent since the question was asked. Expressing feelings to someone he doesn't like at all is reluctant for him to do. So far he only said it to Raya and under different circumstances he also had to say it to Lunar.

Doesn't it look like he's an asshole? Even though it looks like that now, what was done was not entirely wrong, because Lunar was his wife. It's only natural for a husband to ask for his rights, after all Lunar also wants the same thing. And again, he is not a hobby of saying sweet sentences to women, especially saying declarations of love without feelings.

For some reason under these circumstances he wanted to blame his father. If they did not live in the same place, perhaps there would not be the present agreement between them. He will definitely live happily with Raya.

No. It was Lunar's fault for suddenly appearing in his life. If Lunar had been with him first, maybe there wouldn't be the complicated feelings like now. He doesn't need to approach Raya, who actually used to be very difficult to get his heart. Why did he choose Lunar over Raya? To be honest, he blamed the Lunar destiny that had just appeared before him.

The movement above Arkan's body made consciousness suddenly jerk. Lunar was still staring at him and only moved briefly to change position, looking sore from lying on her body which was definitely less soft than the sofa.

Arkan raised his body so he could sit back with the woman who also got up. The cloth that adorned the back of the sofa was pulled to cover Lunar's back, not wanting her to get cold.

"Even if that sentence is meaningless?"

Lunar already understands that later she will only hear words without the interference of Arkan's feelings in them. This man clearly didn't have any feelings for her. She should have realized that already, but just once… she wanted to hear it from Arkan before they truly parted ways.

"It may not mean much to you, but to me it means a lot."

Arkan increasingly felt like a bad man who made two women suffer. Even worse, he didn't want anyone to be sad even one of them.

The hand gripping the edge of the cloth turned to stick to the chest area. Lunar movement made the cloth covering the body slump down. She leaned in so she could speak closer.

Arkan swallowed hard. His body seemed stiff to receive a little touch that can revive the desire. Lunar was like a witch who would stop at nothing to tempt her.

"Our wedding is only a few months away and I want to hear about it before we part."

Arkan grabbed a cell phone that was not far from reach. He had been playing with his cell phone earlier before he wanted to have Lunar back because this woman was boldly sitting on his lap. How can he not fall for her desire if a light dress makes it easier for Lunar to feel the curves of Lunar's body?

Just imagining it made his feelings go haywire. Arkan has to focus on his main purpose which is to view the calendar on his cell phone. He was a little surprised to know that their marriage had been going on for more than a year and a half.

The cell phone was put down before looking straight at Lunar. Arkan couldn't deny that their separation made his heart sad. He had never thought about the feelings of women who were willing to expect him.

Arkan's heart seemed to throb, he had to express his feelings at the same time as the separation that would happen soon. He raised the cloth that had slipped down so that it could cover Lunar's entire body. The body that was wrapped in cloth, was carried up to the bed, then he replaced the cloth wrapped with a blanket. Now it wasn't just Lunar who was enveloped, her body as well.

Lunar just kept quiet watching the man above him. She closed her eyes when Arkan bent down and kissed her lips gently. A brief kiss that could make her body heat up, so soft and sweet, different from the kisses they had ever done.

Their lips parted, but their gazes met again. Unlike before, now the man's eyes softened as if they had been submerged in a mist of desire. This made Lunar more lulled by the touch that tickled her whole body.

"Would you be happy if I told you?"

Lunar nodded her head. "I would be very happy if you would tell me."

Arkan could see tears flowing from the tail of those eyes. He bent down to reach the stream, kissing it gently. Staring at Lunar at such a close and intimate distance made his heart heat up. There was a feeling he couldn't explain.

The woman in front of him was crying and he felt the sadness too. It felt powerless for him to see how sad Lunar was right now. What other magic was given to him to feel such extreme sorrow? Lunar is really very good at playing with her feelings.

"I love you, Lunar. I really really love you."

The statement was expressed with deep emotion until the eyebrows furrowed deeply. Right at the end of the sentence, Arkan crushed his red lips. Their kiss was also very emotional as if there really were two feelings that blended into one.

***

Raya threw down the cellphone she had been using since earlier to call her lover. But out of nowhere someone came to arrest her. She was very surprised to learn that Secretary Ham was there with her. What was a secretary doing at the place where she and Arkan were staying?

"That was close," said Secretary Ham, relieved to have caught the thrown cell phone. He approached Raya and returned it. "This phone can still be used."

Raya took out her cell phone quickly and put it in her bag. She was very annoyed today and made her face not stop to frown. "What are you doing here? As far as I know, Arkan didn't bring his secretary for this holiday."

Secretary Ham forgot that his presence should not be known. How stupid when he saw that Raya was about to throw the cellphone away, instead coming out of the hiding place to save this important item. Now due to his decision, he must face Raya. now he had to come up with a plausible excuse.

"Oh, really? So, you and sir Arkan came to this place for vacation? I never thought that we would meet by chance here." Secretary Ham chuckled. "I also came for vacation."

Raya squinted while watching Secretary Ham's appearance from top to bottom. "Alone?"

Secretary Ham had to laugh to hide his nervousness. "Of course not. I came with my nephew because she really wanted to go on vacation to this place. She is a very energetic young man.” He laughed again.

Raya exhales slowly and in her mind is still wondering where Arkan has gone. She couldn't even get the slightest hint. Arkan disappeared without a trace and she didn't know where else to look.

"You happen to be here. Why don't you go out for a drink?" Raya said.
