Love Without Conditions

Chapter 111

"To my apartment first, right?". Rio asked as he turned to Ian who was asking for his car in the front of the lobby to the valet officer.

"Where else are you going but the apartment?". Ian asked who was still upset with Rio's previous behavior.

Rio's smiling.

Soon after Ian's car arrives, valet officers help Ian and Rio put Rio's belongings in the trunk. After it was done Rio opened his wallet and took out some blue colored money sheets and gave them to the valet officer.

"Save it for you and your other friends". Said Rio while giving a tip.

The valet officer nodded while thanking him.

Ian who saw it immediately got into the car. But the car door was open. Ian raised his head while twitching his forehead.

"What's?". Ask Ian.

Rio raised his chin as if telling Ian to switch places.

"Sit down next door. I'm the one who drove". Rio.

Ian sighed and then moved into the passenger seat. Rio entered and sat in the driver's seat and immediately ran the car towards his apartment.

It only took them 10 minutes they had already reached Rio's apartment building. Again because actually the house of Ian's parents, Rio Apartment and the hotel where Rio underwent quarantine are in the same area with each other.

Rio asked for help from a security to help him carry his belongings with trolley hotel tub which is provided near the row of lockers apartment residents.

Ian swiped his access card and scanned his fingerprints on the door leaf of the Rio apartment unit. Rio who was looking at Ian's behavior just continued to stare at the ceaseless smile. The man felt very happy because he could see Ian in person before him after several months of not meeting.

After he finished lowering Rio's belongings, the security was saying goodbye until Ian and Rio were both staying. Ian stepped his foot into the fridge and picked up a bottle of mineral water. Ian sat down at the bar table located in the kitchen area.

Rio opened the refrigerator and was shocked when he saw his refrigerator filled with various food and drinks. He looked at Ian with a look of astonishment.

"Who's in the fridge?". Ask Rio.

Ian turned his shoulders. "Who else can enter here besides lo and gw?".

Rio smiled sweetly. "Thank you..."

"Hmmm.." Ian muttering.

Ian moved from the pantry area and walked towards the living room and Rio who was taking blueberry cheesecake from the refrigerator. Ian deliberately filled the man's refrigerator with various foods and drinks. All this time he knew that Rio often cooked fast food morning, day and night. The man's apartment kitchen was even cleaner than the display kitchens in the shops!

Rio approached Ian with two small plates, each containing a piece of blueberry cheesecake. The man sat not far from where Ian was.

Ian picked up the small plate given by Rio and immediately ate the cake in small pieces.

For a moment there was silence between them. Both are busy with their own thoughts. No one starts a conversation at all. Only the sound from the TV echoed between them.

Rio turned his head to observe Ian who was staring at the TV screen before him seriously. The man knew that his real Ian wasn't watching. The show on the TV channel is a volleyball game show where Rio knows that Ian does not like to watch it the most. He continued to look at Ian's face closely.

"What's?". Ian asked who was feeling troubled because Rio was consciously paying attention to himself continuously.

Rio shook his head slowly. "It's okay".

Ian sighed slowly and changed his body position now facing towards Rio.

"Hemmmm.." Rio muttering.

"I'm sure I said something, aren't you the same?". Ask Ian.

"By what?".

"Yooooooo's.. I'm serious now". Ian Said.

"Gw is serious. What do you mean?". Rio's asking looking at Ian.

Ian sighed harshly. Either Rio knew or pretended not to know with the intent of his words.

"On marriage..." Ian said slowly.

Rio smiling. "Ooh.."

Ian furrowed his forehead while staring in wonder at the man before him. "Kok OH anyway??".

"Gw should answer what? If that is the case, before bokap lo talk to gw, I really have my own plan to directly marry you".

Ian gawked to hear Rio's words that seemed to be without any burden at all.

"Kok lo if you say so lightly anyway? It's about marriage, Yo!".

"Lho.. From our 20s I have also been ajakin lo marry continuously in various moments right? So this is nothing new to me". Rio.

"But the conditions are different now, Yo. I'm not the same as I used to be".

Rio was watching Ian closely. "Lo is still the same. Nothing has changed". Rio.

"Gw knows maybe this is too soon for you. And you shouldn't be talking about marriage when you just got divorced a week ago".

"If you know why you want to follow my bokap?!". Ask Ian.

"Because I'm serious about you, Ian".

Rio grasped both of Ian's hands tightly. His bead eyes stared fixedly at Ian.

"Gw knows that there are wounds that have not healed. There is a trauma that has not disappeared. There is fear, grief in your heart. I know that.. But, we face each other. I want to be next to you when you recover from your past wounds".

Ian shook his head slowly. He pulled both of his hands from Rio's grasp.

"It's hard for me right now to believe in a binding relationship, Yo". Ian said as he stood up and headed to the balcony of the apartment.

Ian stood staring at the view of the Capital during the day. His fingers clasped tightly to the iron fence. Rio followed her and stood right next to Ian.

"Gw feels this is unfair to you... You can get someone much better than me than a widow with 2 children, Yo". Ian looked at Rio. His gaze implied a sadness and doubt.

"Gw not until the heart let lo who many in the puja women even choose to spend the rest of your life with gw...." Ian continued as his lips revealed a smile.
