Love Without Conditions

Chapter 97

Inside the apartment there was a long silence. Only the sound of Ian's cry that sounded very poignant filled the middle room of the apartment. Rio stood up and stepped towards the kitchen area. He decided to make a cup of Ian's favorite hot chocolate. He believes the warm chocolate is able to provide peace to the woman because of the trithopan content in her.

Before long Rio gave that cup of warm chocolate to Ian. Ian raised his head while wiping away the tears on his face.

"Drink this first so you can relax..." Rio.

Ian received the cup and sipped it slowly. One sip. twice sip..

Rio smiled faintly looking at Ian who was seen enjoying his favorite drink. Rio threw himself back onto the sofa. He just stared at Ian without a word.

Ian put the cup containing warm chocolate on the table. He took a deep breath and tidied his hair and rubbed his face with a tissue to get rid of traces of his crying even though it was still free. His eyes are now completely puffy. It seems like he needs to compress his eyelids with a cold spoon or cold cloth!

"Where have you been this week?". Ian asked looking at Rio as he had felt better.

"Gw is not going anywhere. It's in the apartment and it's going to the office". Reply Rio.

"Gw thinks you're going to LA and you'll never come back here again". Ian muttered a faint smile.

Rio moved his body facing towards Ian. Both of his hands held the woman's shoulders. Their eyes stared at each other.

"Gw will not repeat the same stupidity.. I will never leave you again.. It's never gonna be". Rio said firmly. Her bead eyes stared intently at Ian.

Ian smiled faintly. "Not to be lebay. One day you will also leave me if you get the right companion".

Rio again tendered his back to the sofa. He stared at the crystal lamp that illuminated them.

"There is no woman right in my heart but lo. I also have no interest in starting a relationship with a woman. Must be acquaintance, know more deeply... It feels lazy and tiring at the age I am now".

"Then your mind can be alone forever, Yo". Ian said in a small chuckle.

"Gw is preparing myself to live alone. Or.... I wait for your widow". Said Rio turning to Ian while smiling mischievously.

ian patted Rio's shoulder quite hard. "Lo such a friend.doain I become a widow?!".

Rio laughing. "Gw was just kidding. You need to laugh. I'm dizzy to see you every time I go to the apartment I must cry continuously. You think my apartment's a graveyard?".

Ian poked his lips. He immediately stood up. "Yes, if you are dizzy. I'm going home now!". Say it while stepping.

But deftly Rio pulled Ian to the point of crashing back on the sofa. Both bodies are not spaced apart. Rio stared intensely at Ian's bead eyes. The two looked at each other as if there was a magnet pulling on each other. Rio slowly brought his face closer towards Ian. Ian froze silently. Their current position is very unsafe for two people of different sexes.

But Rio suddenly just kept his face away from Ian's face. Both of his palms cupped Ian's face. His bead eyes looked straight at Ian.

"It seems I really have to live alone or wait for you". Rio muttered as he looked at Ian.

Ian frowned. "Huh? What do you mean?".

Rio shook his head with a smile etched on the lips. "Male business. You don't need to know".

Because I feel back my passion that has been buried for years! And only you can awaken it!

"So... Now I can ask you the same, right? Why were you crying?". Rio's asking changed the direction of the conversation between them.

Ian took his breath. "Gw was to Bekasi. but you know what the end is like..."

"You two are making a fuss again?".

Ian nodded. Rio looks rubbed his face. "Now what do you want to do?". Rio's asking looking at Ian.

Ian put his shoulder up. "Honestly I'm confused about what to do, Yo..."

"Gw has tried to talk about all of this as well as him in a good way. But we always end up in a storm. He always can't keep his emotions". Ian stared in any direction.

"He's like stress. I talked to him a little, he must have snapped... Make a wife it feels like the clash of the husband is very painful..." Ian smiled knot.

"Maybe my question is ridiculous, but I want to affirm the same thing". Rio.

Ian turned his head to look at Rio waiting for the man to continue his speech.

"Lo dear to him? Love with him?".

Ian was silent. He seemed to think for a moment and put a smile on his lips.

"Gw also does not know the answer if you are so to gw.. I just feel happy when he is not in 1 place or room with me, Iw and he rarely chat, rarely spend time together, rarely spend alone, but apart from that, I feel disappointed when I know he cheated on me behind my back, and I also feel foreign pain when I asked for a divorce with him".

Rio just silently listened to Ian talk about his feelings about Ilham.

"Can that be love?". Ian asked Rio.

Rio sighed harshly. "However, you and Ilham have been married for 9 years. In a sense there must be some bond between you whether it be a strong or fragile bond".

"But after all this, you are more inclined to choose what step? I as an outsider can only give advice and support. You must know the risks that you will get when you have to choose between surviving or letting go". Rio continued.

"Gw's like lost direction, Yo. I want to go back to back. Moving forward I still feel all gray and do not know where to step from". Ian looked at Rio while smiling knots.

Rio clasped both hands of Ian. Her bead eyes stared fixedly at Ian. "If you are confused, I will bring you back to where you should be. But if you feel your marriage can still be repaired, please try to fix it... I will not forbid. Although I really wish you were a widow".

Hearing Rio's words, Ian then hit the man's arm. "The second time you have become a widow, Yoyo!!!!".

Rio did not answer but the man laughed very loudly while avoiding the next blows Ian might come to him.
