Loving Brother-in-law

Excuse me... I'm sorry Ryu...

The night is getting late, the quiet atmosphere makes the waves of the beach sound very clear. Sam was pensive on his balcony, his hand holding a glass of wine he often played in his silence.

Every now and then Sam looked at the bedridden Riyu, Sam feeling guilty for his selfishness, had he not invited Riyu to the party maybe Riyu would not have been sick like this.

Sam turned to look at the dark beach, his eyes glaring deep into the past when he first met with Riyu... Memories are beautiful, painful at the same time. Shortly thereafter...

"Mk..." Soft greeting breaks his daydream.

Sam immediately turned to the source of the voice, seeing that Riyu had been standing looking at him with contemptuous eyes.

"Riyu? Why you... Come in, you need to rest. I promise you tomorrow we'll go back to town Y, okay" Sam approaches Riyu and leads her in.

"No..." Riyu held Sam. "Sam... Explain to me, did Noval marry me out of love? Or something else?"

"Riyu you can't be too tired, let alone think too much"

"If not you then who else would explain to me Sam! Papa's? Grandpa? Everyone's covering up what I want to know!"

"What do you want to know?' Sam asked in a cold tone.

"Novals. Sam... Did he marry me because he loved me? But why does the memory appear instead of Sam, he hates me!"

Sam silently looked at Riyu inside...

"You know Sam. Let's answer!" Riyu grabbed Sam's arm.

"If I tell you what would you believe? I could've lied and made up stories to make you hate Noval. So you turned away from her and went into my arms" Sam said expressionlessly. While Riyu was silent looking at him.

"Now go, you need to rest. Let's talk about this another time!" Sam walks past Ryu.

"It turns out you're just like them!" Shouted Riyu annoyedly vaporizing his emotions.

"What do you mean?!" Sam turned to stare.

"Why? Wouldn't you take it if I said you were just like them! Lying and covering everything from me?!" Riyu walked around the stunned Sam.

"Hemh Riyu, I don't like to repeat my words. But alright this time once again I say, go rest now!" Sam said patiently.

"Not until you answer me!" Said Riyu throwing his face away.

Sam let out a long sigh, "OK what do you want to ask?"

"Noval married me out of love or something else?!" Riyu looked fixedly into Sam's eyes.

"He married you because you're a rich girl and the sole heir of the Galuh family, he just loves your treasure. Satisfied?"

Riyu is surprised to hear Sam's blunt reply "Are you serious?" riyu stared intently.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Sam raised both his hands. "I've answered your question and now go to bed before my patience runs out, Ryu!"

"No, you must be lying!" Riyu remained in his stance, Sam began to grow angry with Riyu's carelessness which made him confused about what kind of behavior.

"I've answered your question honestly, and now you're accusing me I'm lying?!" Sam could no longer be patient.

"I.. That's what you've been doing all this time! You're always playing me too!"

Sam was silent massaging his forehead slowly, "Here we go, we rest now"

"No!" Ryu avoids Sam who will lead him to go for a break.

"Riyu, don't be stubborn!" Sam started to growl.

"I'm just upset that you keep playing me!"

Sam unbuttoned his shirt and stepped closer to Riyu.

"A... What are you gonna do?!"

"You said I was playing you, right?! Now I'm gonna show you how I'm gonna play you!"

"Sam... You're..." Ryu started to step back.

As Sam gets closer to her, Riyu looks for the side of the gap to escape from Sam who looks upset and scary. But as he ran, Sam caught his hand and threw Riyu into his bed.

"Sam... You're not gonna do it, are you?!" Ryu is getting nervous. But Sam opened his shirt and threw it on the floor, now Sam's sixpack body is clearly displayed in front of Riyu.

"Sam enough! Don't come any closer or I'll..."

"Will what? Yells out? Please!" Sam didn't care.

Riyu was getting cornered on the side of the bed, suddenly Sam pulled his leg and crushed him. Riyu started to get scared, he tried to make a revolt but quickly Sam immediately held back his hand.

"Look at my eyes, Ryu! And listen carefully. I'm not gonna tell you the painful story you went through with Noval, but I'm gonna make you remember how you put honey on my life and just walked away, even you forgot about it and made a new wound in my life!"

Riyu started shaking looking at Sam's gaze, it seemed like he wasn't messing around this time. Despite trying to fight back, however, Riyu's power was not comparable to Sam holding her back strongly. Tears began to flow at the end of Riyu's eyes, her lips trembled, as well as her increasingly unruly heartbeat.

Is Riyu supposed to resign tonight... But Riyu is unable to.

"S... Sam... Sam stop!" Riyu was accompanied by trembling in her body as Sam started wiping her neck.

"Sam... No.." - No..." Said Riyu again, but Sam was getting closer and closer to her body. Riyu sobbed, she was so afraid to betray her marriage to Noval. But Sam seemed to not care, what was Ryu's biggest fear at that time.

Sam continued his activities, his face was getting closer and he quickly kissed Riyu to make his eyes closed tightly. Riyu did not dare to look at Sam who was so merciless, and did not care for his cries.

In every touch of Sam on her body, Riyu's hearing began to change, the sound of the rustling of rain water suddenly appeared in the accompaniment with shadows and voices coming again and again...

____________________________________

"Sam... Will you touch me?"

"Sam... Touch me..." (Echoing in Riyu's ear)

_____________________________________

Riyu gripped her blanket even tighter.

_____________________________________

"*I want it"

"Or are you more willing if that fucker touched me*?!"

______________________________________

"Erghs..." Riyu's screams were held back. At once also Riyu reflexes tightly hugged Sam who was still on it... Guilt, but... In every memory that strikes, only the name of Sam echoes...

"I'm sorry... Forgive me Riyu" said Sam quivering with tears falling on Riyu's shoulders as he stomped his body...

****

In the morning, the light of the sun penetrated into the apartment room to make Sam wake up because of the shine. Sam tried to block the light with one of his right palms, his vision still unclear as he had just woken up.

Slowly Sam's left hand groped to the side of the bed where Ryu had fallen asleep last night, but he did not feel any Ryu there. Sam immediately sat down and opened his eyes, sure enough, Ryu was no more.

"Riyu? Ryu!"

The apartment sounded quiet, not a single answer was heard by Sam. He rushes to get a towel to cover his lower body, and searches for Riyu in the whole room in the apartment.

Sam suspects that Riyu has left the apartment, to convince herself Sam is approaching the closet and... Riyu's things were no longer there.

Sam picks up his phone, he calls Ryu's phone, but tries several times, always the operator answering his call.

"Aji do you know where Ryu went?!" Sam asked worried.

"Boss, it's been the morning Miss Riyu left town S"

"What?! Goddamn bum! Why didn't you tell me!" Sam said furiously.

"I'm sorry boss, but he forbade me to tell you" Aji replied as he was.

"Aragh!" Sam quits his phone and rushes to prepare for Ryu's return to Y city.
