ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 89

Dio's eyeballs seemed not to want to decide the look on the beautiful face of Luci. According to his heart, the longer the stare the cooler the face of the girl now. But that's all Dio can afford. He could only look without reaching his heart. Since he knew for sure, Lusi's heart already belonged to another man. Her husband's.

A month passed already, the days of Lusi more filled with enjoying solitude in his apartment. Seeing Susi who is now often pensive to think about her husband, makes Dio feel very guilty. Moreover, Dio knows that Lusi's husband is looking for his wife.

Keeping Lusi's whereabouts a secret, really made him feel like a loser. Even being a cheat faced a fight.

In his heart Dio was really very sorry to have played Ferdian who was so frantically looking for Lusi even to his home.

Dio felt that he was a petty and cunning man, just because he expected Lusi to love him. Dio knew it was impossible.

He realized what he was now doing to Susi was a subtle form of coercion. And of course Dio didn't want Susi to love him because she felt forced.

His heart was now agitated as it was enveloped in guilt. And to make up for it, Dio was determined as soon as possible to drive Lusi back to her husband's house. Whatever risks he will face later he will accept with a cheerful heart.

‘Yeah, maybe I'm destined to be your best friend, Lusi. Not more. Being your best friend I am also happy.' he said resigned in the bathin.

Tiii....Tiii....Tiii....

The sound of an incoming call from his gawai jolted his daydream. Soon he grabbed the flat rod and saw a picture of Cantika on his screen. Immediately he shifted the green logo to answer the call.

“Hallo?" greet calm.

“Hallo Dio, I want you to have dinner in my apartment tonight. You should come, loh. I invited my sister too, she wants to see my new apartment.” Cantika's voice sounded so excited.

“Hmm, if so, can I invite friends too? Let me not awkward to meet your brother who said you were fierce,” Dio permission while glancing at Lusi who was bowed across the table.

“By a bang, Dio. I'm waiting at seven tonight. Don’t be late, okay.”

“Good.”

The phone connection was terminated by Cantika from across. Back Dio's attention turned to Luci who was still bowed in silence. Pity just came to Dio's heart when he looked at the face of Lusi who had no passion at all.

“Lusi...” call him slowly. The one called out only looked up at him.

“Let's come with me huh. My friend is eating dinner.”

“You, I'm lazy to come out," said Lusi not excited.

“Do not do so, Luci. You gotta refresh for a second, get some air outside. Come on, get me yeah. Please." beg Dio to be half-welded.

Long silent at last Lusi nodded, although lazy and heavy hearted.

True said Dio, just looking for fresh air is nothing.

Ferdian toured every room of Cantika's new apartment unit. Every now and then he nodded in amazement acknowledging the work of his designer which made every detail of the room look very elegant and beautiful.

The pampered canicle on her brother's shoulder seemed to stumble over the smile of seeing the admiration depicted on his brother's handsome face.

“Where, Brother? Cool, right?” tanya Cantika asked for an assessment from her brother.

“Yaaaah, not bad.“

“Hah? Not bad? This is amazing, sister.” protest Cantika sulking.

Ferdian only smiled at a glance. Then lean his back against the side wall of the balcony door.

“Who is the interior designer? I'd like to rent his services for my office.”

“Wait for the guy to come. He owns this apartment building too, sister. Still young, pinter, handsome again,” praise Cantika with enthusiasm.

For the sake of seeing the twinkling in his sister's eyeballs, Ferdian stared suspiciously. “Naksy?”

“Iiihh, Sister....Can?” Cantika blushed in embarrassment because the brother could guess the contents of her heart.

“Gak can, graduated from college first can only have a crush on a guy,” firmly Ferdian while stepping into the minibar and placing himself next to Reynard who is busy struggling with his phone.

For a moment he sipped his canned soft drink while throwing a glance out the window.

A moment later, a bell rang out from the direction of the door. Cantika who was busy arranging dinner dishes rushed over.

'This must be Dio.’ guess it in the heart.

With a feeling of excitement that erupted in the door of his apartment unit. Dio in a blue shirt and jeans stood in front of him.

“Hai, Dio. By himself? Says the same friend?” Welcoming Cantika semringah.

“This is my friend.” Dio pulled the hand of Lusi who was leaning against the side wall of the door.

Degh's!

At once Cantika was wide with open lips. Likewise with Lusi no less surprised with Cantika. The girl did not know who was standing in front of her.

“Lusion!” Spontaneous Cantika hugged Lusi who was still staring confused.

Likewise with Dio who looked at the two girls with a whack of astonishment and minds filled with question marks.

“Kakk ... Brother!” Cantika's screams echoed.

Cantika quickly pulled Lusi's hand and entered to where Ferdian was.

“Kak...” call Cantika again when already standing behind the backs of two men sitting in the minibar chair.

Ferdian and Reynard looked over. And instantly, the two were shocked to see the figure of the sweet girl standing beside Cantika.

Lusi straight fixated with eyes that were still wide in disbelief when he looked at the man who this month he missed also looked at himself with the same expression.

“Lusion?” Ferdian immediately approached to convince himself that the girl standing before him was really real, not just his delusion.

“Mas?” call Lusi lirih while looking at Ferdian's face with his eyes that began to get wet.

Immediately Ferdian grabbed onto Luci's body into his arms. Lusi also shed his tears on the man's shoulder. The long-suffering long-suffering feeling he had finally shed already.

No different from Ferdian, the longing that almost drove him crazy he poured through pecking holes in the face and head of Lusi. Then hugged her tightly back as if afraid of letting go again.

Cantika and Reynard stared at the two. Cantika's eyeballs are warm and shiny, clear water signs have pooled the corners of the eyes.

But not with Dio. He was fixated with a mind still engulfed in unanswered confusion.

“Where have you been all this time, Lusi? I look around for you constantly,” asked Ferdian gently cupped the face of Luci closer to his face.

Lusi looked at Ferdian's face for a moment then turned to Dio who was standing beside Cantika.

Ferdian flinched as soon as he realized Dio's presence in the room. Spontaneous water changed his face. A growled and angry gaze was immediately fixed on the young man who was also staring at him.

“You?! You purposely hid my wife, didn't you?” Ferdian approaches Dio. Both of his palms were already clenched ready to throw his fists at Dio.

Sigap Reynard held Ferdian's tightened arm. Cantika held Dio's arm in anxiety and fear.

“Mas, already. If there was no Dio maybe I was dead on the street, Mas," said Lusi also broke up.

Hearing that, Ferdian turned to Lusi who was already teary-eyed. Likewise Cantika who cried regretting her actions for driving Susi from home.

“Yes God. Lusi.“ Ferdian came back to Lusi and buried the girl's head into his chest.

“Today Lusi stayed in my apartment. I'm sorry. While at my house, I did deliberately keep Susi a secret from you," Dio opened his voice full of regret. His voice was trembling and stammering.

“Dio?” Lusi's turn looked at Dio sharply, not believing Dio's confession just now.

“So Mas Ferdian find me to your house?” he continued asking for an explanation.

“Iya Lusi. At that time I did not want you to return to your husband. I'm sorry. I'm really selfish.“

“Dio, so you like Lusi? My sister's wife?” Cantika's turn interrogates Dio, staring at Dio with a big question mark on his mind.

“Not like again, Cantika. Since High School I fell in love with Lusi. But Lucia never loved me. He just thinks of me as a friend, nothing more. And Lusi loves her husband, so I have no hope. But now I'm glad Lusi has met her husband again. Susi is happy I am also happy.” Dio's confession quite jolted Cantika. But the girl saw that there was honesty and resignation in the look on the face of the man she wanted.

“And you, how can you know Cantika?” Now it's Reynard's turn not to miss interrogating Dio.

“Dio is the owner of this apartment I bought, Rey. Dio designed all this for me.” Cantika who answered straightforwardly.

Reynard scratched his head which was not actually itchy at all. “Yes God, I think I need headache medicine.”

Reynard's absurd remarks made them blush and give a smile.

“Already, the most important thing is now that Lusi is back, Ferdian is healthy, Cantika already has her own apartment and thanks to Dio who has saved Lusi. And everyone happy," said Reynard mediated wisely.

Ferdian paused for a moment digesting Reynard's words, then nodded in agreement. He turned to Dio and slowly approached him. Ferdian reached out to Dio and Dio shook his hand with regret.

Likewise with Cantika who approached Lusi and hugged him while whispering an apology. Lusi hugged Cantika tightly, as if all the burdens of his life had been separated from his soul.

“Oiya, I ask permission, can I be close to Cantika?” dio asked Ferdian after Ferdian re-embraced Luci's shoulder.

Cantika, who was standing beside Dio while hugging Dio's arm, put a face of light on Ferdian with hopeful eyes.

“Friends close can, dating can not. Wait until Cantika passes,” replied Ferdian firmly. Making Cantika and Dio throw each other a disappointed look. Then the two nodded obediently and passed from before Ferdian.

Ferdian smiled sweetly at the Lusi next to him who was clasping his hands tightly.

“Udah can't wait to go home. I miss," whispered Ferdian looking at Lusi affectionately.

“Iya the same, me too,” reply Lusi shyly.

“Bikin grandpa?” ask Ferdian tease.

“Later to make his grandpa, eat first. I'm really hungry from earlier.” Suddenly Reynard embraces Ferdian and Lusi from behind. Making Ferdian and Lusi blush and stare at the embarrassed smile.

At the dinner table they gathered with a joyful heart. Face a variety of appetizing dishes ordered from a traditional restaurant favorite Cantika.

Ferdian looked at Lusi lovingly. So did Dio and Cantika who glanced at each other affectionately. Reynard looked only at two happy couples.
