Killing Me Softly's

33

"Why didn't Moeis answer?"

Many times Lyra tried to contact Moeis but there was no answer. 

"Did Moeis fire all the workers? Why so quiet?"

They're currently in one of the guest rooms, and Lyra helps clean it up like a bedcover replacement.

"No, workers are on holiday.."

"Oh so…"

Lyra smile. 

"Yes, let's rest. I'll get ready for dinner later." he said he was going out.

"Did you love Brother Moeis?"

Lyra stopped her steps and turned to look at Micah.

"Why are you asking me that?"

Micah was also part of the Meyers family. He knows all the dark sides even from his own parents. But Mr. Dave's family is the loudest and highest. 

"I wonder if the curse really still exists. We all wait for freedom but it never happens.."

Lyra finally came back to Micah. They sit together and share stories. Micah's confession is, he's the only descendant who has this kind of trait. Liquid and open. Unlike the whole family who tend to be cold and assertive.

Lyra breathed.

"Yes.it still seems to exist. Even though I don't know if I really love him sincerely. But what I do know is that Moeis has not felt love from me and has not been able to give love to me. But his attitude towards me has been much better.."

"really? That was what surprised me yesterday. He's as hard and cold as Uncle Dave. How could I meet him at the supermarket. It's all thanks to you, brother"

Thankful that they are easy to know and close. Eventually Lyra finds someone right to forget her feelings about this family. Which he had withstood with all his might.

"Moeis has changed a lot. I feel good." replied Lyra.

"Yes, so am I.."

"Then what's your relationship with Meidro? There's no curse whatsoever, is there for the female lineage?" ask Lyra.

Micah paused his answer. He doesn't know where to start. 

"Sister, I'm happy to have a new family member like you. Which I can talk to and complain about. Can I tell you a little story? I really want to…"

"Of course, trust me." Lyra stroked Micah's arm.

"I've been with Meidro for 3 years. I love her so much that I thought about leaving and breaking the family rules that made me so sick. I don't care if I have to live with him…"

"What are you talking about, why.."

Micah continued his story.

"There is no curse whatsoever.but, actually, the family does not approve if someday I will marry Meidro. They didn't separate me until now knowing our relationship, because they wouldn't care now, but later when the time comes. They'll make me leave Meidro and match me up with someone else. Of course with a business deal…"

Lyra surprised. He did not expect and sympathized with Micah's sorrow. It must have been very heavy for him.

"Then did Meidro know?"

"No brother, how could I possibly say that. Yeah, I want to be selfish. Let her survive and then one day just leave her. Bad woman.." said he regretted.

Lyra hugged Micah.

"I'll help you if I can. Just tell me, look for me someday.."

"Thank you, brother, I'm so glad to know you.."

After that pitiful chat, Lyra allowed Micah to rest. It turns out that it is not only him who suffers, and it seems that there are many sad stories behind the coldness of this family that Lyra may not have known.

While he returned to the room to clean up before Moeis returned home. Then prepare dinner.

//

At 20:03. Lyra is a little late to prepare dinner for getting a video call from her secretary to discuss important matters. 

And it seems Micah was also still taking a bath after falling asleep since this afternoon.

For this time, because there is Micah. Lyra is making something more special. Steak and mashed potato. 

Moeis walks in and sees Lyra in the kitchen. He came near her. 

"You're asking me to come home quick to taste your steak?" ask Moeis.

"Yes, this is the best I can do so far.."

It looks like Moeis took off her suit. He walked over to hug Lyra's waist from behind.

"You are beautiful in this dress." praised Moeis as she kissed Lyra's neck. So distracting.

"Moeis.. You don't want to shower first? I'll wait…"

Lyra is focusing on cooking but Moeis is cooking her.

"Let it be like this first.."

Moeis did not answer. He lifted his head.

Lyra turned her head slightly and kissed Moeis.

"Yes godnn!… Sorry, I was unintentional. All right, I'll just go back…"

Micah's shout made them stop and become awkward. Moeis did not know that Micah had come because Lyra had not had time to tell him.

"It's okay to come here. I'm almost done making it.." said Lyra hurriedly arranged it on a white plate with the wrong behavior.

Moeis stared at Micah sharply.

"Why are you here???"

"Hmm. I, I'll stay here. Just 3 days.." Micah replied nervously.

"What?"

Micah approached to sit at the dining table.

"It certainly can't. This house is so big, it will not be a narrowing just because I came.." protested Micah.

Moeis sat at the end of the table. He still did not understand why this child came when all the workers were not there.

"Go, why go back to Indonesia if you do not return home? Does that make sense?" 

"It's reasonable! Mom wasn't looking for me anyway. He was busy taking care of the diamond rather than his own priceless son.."

Just be right. Moeis is tired every time she faces Micah. Their sense of humor is very good. 

Lyra came to give them a steak plate and began to eat it.

"It's okay to stay here. You can't do that, Moeis. Never mind…"

Moeis threw away her views.

"Thank you, Lyra. You are the best!"

"You must be happy, because your humor isn't much different?" Moeis Sahut.

Lyra and Micah smiled.

"Why is it so messy?" moeis rubs Lyra's lips leaving a mash of potato.  

"Ah, thank you"

"What, what now the iceberg has melted ?" micah's insinuation to Moeis.

But Moeis just ignored him.

//

Tonight Moeis wants to make time for Lyra. He forgot his cell phone and his work space.

They sleep together and talk about many things.

"Sounds like he's gonna bother us.." 

Lyra.

"No, don't worry. She's your cousin anyway. Don't be so hard on her??" rayu Lyra's.

Moeis kissed her.

"Alright, just because you asked…"

"Really.."

"Hmmm.."

Suddenly Lyra thought of something.

"Moeis, what made your attitude change for me? Is there a reason?"

For a moment Moeis fell silent.

"I feel better for what the reason is.."

Lyra nodded.

"Thank you…"

Moeis is getting closer to her face.

"Want to enjoy tonight?"

Moeis' question left Lyra confused. Enjoy watching a movie or chatting until the morning.

Of course it's not that.

Moeis wants to do her own tonight, she asks Lyra to enjoy it. Yeah, they're having a pretty hot body tonight. 

Seriate...
