Black Swan's

Maybe I Love You (Fifthy Five)

        Eden and Anthony were joking at one of the tables inside a sushi restaurant while reminiscing about their little-forgotten past. Sometimes Anthony gives jokes that make Eden laugh so Eden feels able to forget the problem for a moment. Before long a waiter appeared with a tray full of their ordered food that looked a lot to where by two people. This time Anthony had deliberately ordered all the specials at the restaurant to celebrate his happiness today because he was able to take Eden back from Aciel. More precisely he managed to make good use of Eden's amnesia condition to have the woman, as well as to avenge her on Aciel Lutherford.

            “Anthony, we seem to order too much food. I'm not sure I can spend all this.”

            Eden looks so sparkling with all the food presented in front of him. He wanted to spend all the food alone because it looked so tempting, but unfortunately he was sure if his stomach would not fit to accommodate all that.

            “I purposely ordered all this food for you Ed, you used to love sushi with a soft blend of avocado meat in it.”

            Anthony stuffed a sushi with slices of avocado in it and then fed it to Eden so fondly that it made both cheeks of Eden meet red with very adorable.

            “How, do you like?”

            “Hmm, I like. I think this sushi is my favorite sushi. Now it's my turn to bribe you.”

            Eden stuffed a sushi with kelp on the outside and directed the tempting sushi irian right in front of Anthony's mouth. Anthony joyfully swallowed the sushi round and smiled sweetly at Eden with happy twinkles emanating from her face.

            “It's been a long time since we did a romantic dinner like. Ever since you married Aciel and lived a life full of the man's typical luxuries, you've turned into a difficult woman to reach.”

            “Sorry.”

            A little bit of Anthony's talk about Eden is true. Ever since the woman decided to return with Aciel, Eden turned into a difficult woman to reach. Often Anthony saw the intimacy of Aciel and Eden through the news broadcast on the screen, it always managed to make Anthony more burned because he put his revenge on Aciel. Moreover, Eden also once toyed with him by making him too hopeful if the child is likely to be his child. But the results of DNA tests clearly stated that the child was the son of Aciel because his DNA test showed a negative result. But even so, Eden is still his old Eden, gentle and loving. But lately he realized that Eden's love for him had completely disappeared. The woman is no longer

he looked at her as the man he loved, but more so at the man he loved. Several times Eden gave her food or gifts secretly from her husband. Sometimes Eden also left food given to one of his colleagues to be given to him. But the longer he got fed up with Eden's attitude towards him. The goal of approaching Eden was to take back the woman from Aciel's side, but unfortunately Eden's heart never turned away from the man. I don't know what Aciel did

being able to make Eden's love truly irreplaceable. Even Zyan, that man might be too unlucky because he died when he had to become a victim to escape from Aciel. Since he could not bear it, he decided to tell Eden plainly that he loved her very much and he had joined one of Aciel's greatest enemies to destroy her. But unfortunately that afternoon he got a surprising answer from Eden. Frankly Eden said that he never

loving her. He honestly said that his heart was only owned by Aciel and that he loved him more than anything. Moreover, they already have Ciara and will soon have a second child which is a complement to their household relationship, so that he can no longer continue their love relationship that has been established in the past. Hearing that, of course, he was angry. Which man is not angry and disappointed when the woman he fought desperately chose another man who gave everything. He then forced Eden to stand next to him and leave Aciel, but unfortunately the woman was unwilling and angry. Eden was angry with him and decided to immediately return to his bodyguards who had been waiting in the car. But because at that moment he was filled with overflowing anger, he tried to chase Eden so that she would rethink her decision to stay with Aciel because she still loved her so much and wanted to get back together even though Eden had children. And finally because Eden was in too much of a hurry to get away from him, he did not realize if there was a car speeding towards him. Within two meters he saw Eden's body hovering and Eden's head hitting the asphalt

it was with great force that he continued to urge the woman to leave her husband and child. But after seeing Eden look terrible with blood scattering around his head, he just looked at the body flat and left it without the slightest intention to help him. Even then he hoped that Eden died rather than the woman had to live but owned by the destructive man of his life. But God kept Eden alive, but with some memories erased.

            “Anthony, I want to go to the toilet for a while.”

            Eden touched her hands gently and seemed to be in a hurry to go to the toilet. He then prepared to stand up to accompany the woman to the toilet, but Eden immediately held her back and gave a soothing smile if she would be fine.

            “I can be alone, you just wait here.”

-00-

            Eden came out of the toilet cubicle and started walking towards the sink to fix a bit of her worn-out makeup. With a flexible movement Eden added a little powder on his face and applied red lipstick on his lips to reinforce his slightly faded appearance as he was too eager to eat all the sushi-sushi Anthony ordered to him.

            While dressing up he observed the atmosphere of the surrounding bathroom which looked quiet. Tonight the restaurant he went to was not too crowded, so he was not surprised if he was currently in the bathroom alone. But soon his hair bristled when he heard the sound of a closet that was closed so loudly from behind a room. Eden slowly approached the room and slightly pressed her ear inside to make sure the toilet was in use. Though previously he was very sure if he was alone in the toilet. But he immediately brushed aside his wild thoughts so that he would not feel afraid of his own thoughts.

            “Everything will be fine Ed, everything will be fine.”

            Eden tried to suggest to herself while adjusting her breath to be more relaxed. He then immediately turned around to walk away leaving the quiet narrow room. But just a few steps he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of the door behind him opening, followed by a warm breath that felt so familiar at the nape of his neck.

            “Boo! I found you Eden Morel.. oh I forgot, now you are Eden Lutherford.”.

            Hearing the voice of such a familiar man in his ears made Eden freeze instantly on the spot. What he feared finally came true. The man managed to find her.

            “Darling, I miss you.” whispered the man as inductive as he played a strand of hair dangling on the side of his face in a seductive gesture.

            “What are you doing here?” eden asked stammered while closing his eyes in fear. With a quick movement Aciel immediately turned the skinny body of Eden to face towards him who caressed the beautiful face while closing his eyes full of pleasure.

            “Of course to pick you up baby, what else, hmm?”

            Aciel began to sniff Eden's face with one of his hands still faithfully dancing around Eden's face. Then the thin lips began to kiss every inch of Eden's face so greedily to treat her longing that was so crazy on the woman.

            “You didn't do anything with that guy, did you? Because if that man dares to touch you, I'll make sure after this his head will be separated far from his body.”

            “Don't kill Anthony, he has nothing to do with any of this. Just take me and leave Anthony.” said Eden full of requests. This time he decided to solve his problem with Aciel because he did not want to be frightened like a few days ago because he avoided the problem he should have been facing. Although he did not want to go back to the man, but at least he was not haunted by anxiety and fear every night because he continued to feel that Aciel always loved him from behind the window of his dark room.

            “Hmm, I agree with your idea, we must not involve outsiders into our household affairs. And before we go, I want to taste your lips first.”

            Aciel brought her face closer to Eden's lips and kissed her lips with excitement and full of longing. Eden chose to close her eyes without harm. This time he wanted to prove all his dreams about Aciel. He wants his heart to show him who he really loves, Anthony or Aciel. At the moment though Aciel kisses her lustfully and perhaps passionately, she enjoys it. He missed that touch and didn't want Aciel to end it so quickly. In addition, the shadows that often haunt him are seen more clearly when he was kissing with Aciel. The shadow swirled around inside his head like a roll of film that was playing a life movie about him as well as the man many years ago.

            “I think we should go and find a bed, tonight you look seductive Ed.” whispered Aciel hoarse in front of Eden's lips. Eden was seen blushing in front of Aciel, but he tried to hide it in an indifferent manner. As much as possible he hid his nervousness by being cynical and resisting Aciel's warm grip on his wrist.

            “I hope you really keep your promise by not touching Anthony at the end of my pocket.” Eden's reminder before they come out of the quiet toilet. Aciel growled dislike of Eden, and after that he immediately drew Eden's hand a little faster as they had to leave the restaurant immediately. Just a moment ago when he arrived there, he saw some suspicious people standing guard around the location of the restaurant. And if he hadn't mistakenly thought, then those people must have been one of his enemies who had teamed up with Anthony.

            “Ssshhh..”.

            As they were about to step out, Aciel suddenly pulled up Eden's body and hugged the woman while whispering softly in her ear.

            “Sial! They are here.” furious Aciel stuck while staring nyalang at Anthony who was talking to some people with a suit stelan. Eden who was curious began to glance at the direction of Aciel's view and immediately he felt worried about Anthony's safety.

            “Who are those people? They're not part of your guys that's gonna hurt Anthony, are they?”

            “Stop thinking about the safety of others that almost destroyed our household relationships. Can't you see if your ex-lover is a sneaky person, he has set up a lot of mines around this restaurant to catch me. He knew that today I would come to pick you up.” was furious that Aciel was upset that since then Eden had been constantly thinking about Anthony without thinking about his own salvation.

            “Really? Let's prove it then.”

            Aciel then pulled Eden out of the back door as they were obviously unlikely to come out through the front door. But just a few steps they walked, some men with all-black suit stelan began to chase them and shower them with a hail of bullets that managed to make both knees Eden tremble due to fear.

            “What do they want? Why are they shooting at us like that?” tanya Eden was terrified behind a cashier table that was narrow enough to accommodate two people at once. Next to him, Aciel seemed to hold back his anger because he had bodohongya had entered into Anthony's trap. Or maybe there was something wrong with Eden.

            “I need to see your body.”

            Without waiting for the approval of Eden, Aciel immediately felt every inch of Eden's body to look for suspicious tools that Anthony might have installed in the body of Eden, Eden, the body of Eden, for the man could not have known where he was if he had not put something in Eden's body..

            “What are you doing to me, stop!” eden snapped furiously while trying to keep Aciel's body away from him. But shortly afterwards Aciel showed a small microphone hidden behind the folds of her dress while grinning scornfully at her.

            “Look, that cunning ex-lover of yours has used you as bait.”

            Without lingering, Aciel immediately stepped on the microphone until it was crushed into small pieces. While Eden still can not believe the truth that he just knew if it turns out Anthony has used it to destroy Aciel. He was taken out of the apartment to fish

aciel's arrival as it had been more than a week he was just languishing inside the apartment to hide from Aciel.

            “Now we have to get out of here, my men are trying to clean them up. But you can't go all the way from my side because you're vulnerable to being targeted by them. As much as possible I will protect you from those bad guys and I will not let you get hurt in the least.”

            For the first time Eden was made not to dwell on the words of Aciel who so touched it. When he saw the thick bead of Aciel, he could see the sincerity that he had not been aware of from Aciel. He thought all this time he was too blinded by his anger at the man and all his grudges because the man had ruined his quiet life. But if God still gives him a chance, he wants to rediscover his lost memory and change his judgment about Aciel Lutherford who always looks evil in his eyes.

Ckrekk

            “Now let's move!”

            After pulling the bullet slot in standby condition, Aciel immediately pulled Eden's hand out of hiding while running hastily past every black-clothed man who was eyeing the two of them. From a distance Anthony was only able to see Eden was trying to escape with Aciel with a sliced heart. Although all this time he tried to get the woman back, but in fact the woman's heart was already linked to Aciel too deep. So even though Eden could not remember her sweet life with Aciel, but her heart still shook only for Aciel.

            “Now it's your turn, you have to prove it to the boss if you're loyal to him. Kill that woman and that son of a bitch.”

            Anthony received the soundproof pistol expressionlessly and immediately walked slowly splitting the sea of corpses that were lying before him. From the beginning his destiny was not to have Eden, but to finish Eden off as proof of his loyalty to the great boss who had helped him all along from the crash. Moreover if he let Eden live, he would definitely not be able to get the woman back. So it is better that he put an end to it now so that his wounded heart does not grow stinging and rotting with his anger which he cannot channel.

            “Eden stop!”

Dorr

            Anthony's voice boomed along with the sound of Aciel's bullet that shot quickly and pierced through the chest of one of his enemies who was now helplessly sprawled with fresh blood flowing from his chest. The three men are now facing each other with the tip of the gun pointed at each other in a state of alert.

            “Anthony why are you doing all this? Lower your gun, we end all this peacefully.” persuade Eden gently with a feeling of anxiety. One of his hands involuntarily gripped the end of Aciel's suit tightly along with an outpouring of emotion that was bubbling within his chest.

        “I

must kill you and that bastard Ed, so I can't end all this peacefully as you wish.”

            “Anthony don't we love each other, why can you do this to me? I thought all this time you were a lover and family who would help me when I was down after I had no one in the world, but why did you do this?”

            “Love each other? You said we loved each other? We don't love each other, Ed, I love you, and you love that son of a bitch who has ruined our lives. All this time you've never loved me and only pitied me as a pathetic man who had nothing. Even in the day before your accident you blatantly asked me to step down because you wanted to live happily with your family. You're selfish Ed! You left me with all sorts of destruction, while you got all the happiness and treasure from that man. You should have died by then so I wouldn't have to kill you with my own hands like this.”

            “Job! You're the one who should be dead!”

            Aciel was already preparing to shoot Anthony, but Eden immediately blocked him by standing right in front of him while stretching his arms wide to the right and to the left.

             “Don't shoot Anthony, he's innocent.”

            “Soaring Ed! You don't have to defend him in front of me because I'm going to kill him no matter what. Now move!” aciel shouted furiously while pulling Eden's body away from his face.

Dorr

            “Kyaaa!!”

Bruck

            Eden cried out hysterically as Aciel's body suddenly decayed in her arms with blood pouring down from her back. The man instantly drooped just above Eden's chest while enduring the pain that began to creep through each of his bodies.

            “Aciel!! Aciel! Aciel!”

            Eden tried to maintain Aciel's thinning consciousness by patting the man's cheek repeatedly and also shaking his body. But even so, Aciel's consciousness gradually decreased and the man began to close his eyes with a severed breath.

            “Aaakhh.. Do you remember if I never declared my love for you all this time, but I promised you akhh... to give my life and also my loyalty to you. And now. I prove it to you Eee Ed.”

            “No no no! You can't die, you still owe me a lot of explanations. Aciel awake! Get up now, Aciel! You can't die! Fucking guy! Comeup! I said wake up now!”

            Eden shook Aciel's body many times while cursing the man so that Aciel would wake up immediately to reply to every harsh word he said as usual. But no matter how hard he tried, Aciel kept his eyes closed tightly with a severed breath that slowly began to weaken in front of him. Unknowingly the tears began to flow from his eyes so hard that he could not stop his heartbreaking hysterical appearance. Though he should have been partying for the defeat of Aciel tonight. But in fact he actually let out tears for the man and felt afraid of being abandoned by

that guy's. Seeing Aciel struggling between death and life made his heart ache. His heart did not allow the man to leave, while his common sense continued to cheer for the man's death. Now he is confused, what exactly does he want, the death of the man or the man breathing for himself?
