My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

1. Treacheries

Tokyo

That day the sky of Tokyo was so gray and the specks of rain began to fall. Multicolored umbrellas began to decorate the streets of Tokyo. A girl was running while holding her red umbrella. Many times he saw his watch, going down two steps at once towards the subway station.''Huuuu!''he shouted as the train door would be closed automatically.

The girl let out a sigh of relief as she managed to enter at the last moment and took a seat. In the car there are not so many passengers. He sat next to a sleeping grandmother. The girl is named Miya of Japanese-English descent aged 18 years. He just graduated SMU. Today he plans to watch a movie with a friend who is visiting Tokyo.

Initially Miya planned to watch with her lover Ryusuke, but she could not watch with him. The reason his girlfriend is not feeling well. Miya also contacted her friend from Indonesia who was visiting Tokyo for her work. He's a very good friend. He came to teach German to SMU and Japanese students for two months. His name is Dessy Ismaria, ten years older than Miya. Sometimes Miya learns German from him.

The train stops at the next station, and Miya gets off. It still rained outside, though not very big. Miya smiled as she saw her friend was waiting in front of the cinema hall.''Good afternoon!" greet Miya.

''Siang!''he greeted with a friendly smile.

''Sorry for keeping you waiting."

''It's all right. I just came, replied Dessy.

''Let's go in! ''

They were both waiting for tickets in a long line.

''Miya, congratulations on your graduation!''

''Thanks you. How's your job here? Is everything going well?''

''Everything is going well, even though I have difficulty teaching students here because most of them do not understand English as the language of instruction that I use. But they were very enthusiastic about learning German from me''.

''That's a very good start. I'm glad to learn German from you''. Miya smiled at her friend as well as giving her some spirit.

Two hours had passed, the movie had finished playing, they came out of the cinema hall. Miya felt her stomach was hungry and they both went to a restaurant not far from the cinema.''Miya, where will you go to college?''ask Dessy after ordering food.

''I'm going to college in America. I wanted to study in Japan with my other friends, but my father and mother suggested that I study in America. I don't know why they insisted on putting me in one of those universities."

''Maybe they want the best for you. Usually every parent always like that wants always the best for his child. When are you going there?''

''Next week."

''That's very fast."

''Yes . I was going to Los Angeles first to see one of my mother's relatives who was sick. But....''

''But why? Is there a problem?''

''I'm sad to have to leave my girlfriend here."

''So that's the problem. You can text each other or call or chat with him."

''I know that and I will miss him a lot."

''Or are you afraid, if your lover cheats with another woman while you're away."

''It was also one of them, but I believe Ryusuke will not do that. He's a good man."

''Who do you live with in America?"

''I will live with one of my relatives there, even though I do not know him and have never met him. You know, my family members are so many, especially from the mother, even my mother's family to make a list of family members in one book that is very thick as a dictionary. Every day my mother told me to memorize it, but still I couldn't memorize it, other than the name that's hard to remember, we never met."

''You have an interesting family."

''I don't think so. My family's not attractive."He devoured the food in front of him to the end. Dessy just smiled.

Miya likes Dessy a lot. To him, Dessy is a very fun friend to talk to and makes him feel comfortable. After they spoke at length Miya started to get sleepy and many times she yawned. He looked at his watch which was showing at 8 p.m. ''I'd better get home soon. It's late and I'm sleepy."

''I also have to go home . Tomorrow morning I'll be teaching extra lessons to my students." After Miya finished her remaining drink, the two of them came out of the restaurant and split off the road.''I'm going this way. See you soon! And good night ! Thank you for accompanying me today, said Miya with a sincere smile and Dessy returned her smile.

''See you soon!Hye!"

Miya walked alone that night. The city of Tokyo at night looks so bright. Wet roads and lots of water everywhere. Unintentionally Miya's foot went into the puddle .''Shit!''frangipani. His wet shoes made his body start to freeze. He decided to change his shoes in his girlfriend's apartment located not far from here, because he remembered having kept one of his shoes there. After crossing the bridge, Ryusuke's apartment was already visible.''Is he sleeping?''ask in the heart.

Miya ransacked her bag and finally found the key to her boyfriend's apartment. The apartment is dark and very quiet and Miya thinks Ryusuke is asleep. He walked very carefully, afraid to wake her up. Miya saw a light from inside her room and she faintly heard something like a sigh, out of curiosity she approached her room slowly. The door opened slightly and Miya was shocked when she saw Ryusuke making love to another woman. He was sad and angry.

Miya feels lied to and betrayed by her lover. He had no idea that Ryusuke would do this to him. He loves her and always gives her whatever she wants and always obeys what she says and wants. Now he had clearly seen the evidence of his betrayal.

Miya could not help her grief and began to cry in silence. He felt a pain in his chest as if there were thousands of needles piercing him. He was angry and resentful and disgusted at what he saw now. Miya pushed the door hard leaving Ryusuke and his mistress shocked. His eyes full of hatred looked towards the two lovebirds who were making love. His breath was hunting with anger. ''Miya.'' Ryusuke said with a surprised face.

Slowly Miya approached Ryuusuke and slapped him in the face with anger and he also looked hatefully at the woman he loved. Tears wet his face again.''YOU TRAITOR! '' she screamed while banging Ryusuke's chest with a pillow. ''I can't believe you're going to do all this to me. I thought you loved me, but you didn't. Now that I understand why you did not want to come watch with me earlier, apparently you have an appointment with this woman to make love here, he said with anger.

Miya stared in anger at Ryusuke and the man could see the rays of hatred in the girl's eyes.''There's nothing you need to explain anymore, everything's clear. From now on we break up. You can do anything with that woman, now let go of my hand!''. The two of them were silent for a moment, finally Ryuusuke released his arm. Miya slammed the door hard.

''Damn!'' yell Ryusuke. He threw himself on the sofa, not at all expecting that Miya would find him making love with another woman.''Ryusuke, you're stupid. He had been so careless to let Miya see everything.

Arriving at home, Miya went straight into her room and locked herself in there. He cried with his face covered in pillows.''Ryusuke, you are a traitor, he said on the sidelines sobbing. That night Miya spent the night crying.

The next morning when he woke up, his eyes looked puffy and he did not dare to go down. Surely his parents will ask him why his eyes are swollen. Miya prefers to stay quiet in her room. He wants to forget his lover who has filled his heart since 2 years ago, then he recalls the sweet memories he shared with Ryusuke, but since that night her love life has been ruined.

Miya is heartbroken by the betrayal her lover has committed. He is determined to close the door of his heart to another man and will forget Ryusuke forever, throwing him away from his heart.

Miya accepts her parents' decision to study her in America and so she can go far away from Japan as well as away from Ryusuke. He will start a new life there. He hopes his departure to America will be able to forget Ryusuke forever.

The day of departure for America has arrived. Miya had been neatly dressed when her mother walked into her room.''Morning, Miya?''

''Morning, mother!''

''Are you ready to go?''

Miya smiled faintly. "I'm ready."

Suddenly his mother hugged him tightly.''Mom and Dad will miss you so much''. Then he looked at his daughter's eyes gently. ''You would love to live there. One of my relatives there will take care of you while you stay there. I told him about your arrival . Don't worry, everything will be fine. You can call us anytime."

''Fine ma'am. I'll take good care of myself." A small figure appeared from the direction of the door. Miya smiled when she saw her little sister coming, then crouched down and rubbed her head.'' As long as you're gone, you don't be naughty."

''So brother Miya will go far huh?''

''Yes, but big brother won't be gone long. Brother must have come back and played again with Hiro."Hiroshi is Miya's only six-year-old sister and Miya loves her.

''Unpromise?''ask her while holding out her little finger.

''No promise."They both hooked the little finger. Hiroshi hugged Miya and cried on her shoulder.

''You better leave, you'll miss the plane."

Miya stood up while carrying her suitcase. Before closing the door of his room, he looked at his room for a moment. He will miss his room. A car is ready in front of the house . ''Dad, my mom goes first."

Her father hugged Miya. ''Be careful on the road! Upon arrival there, you should contact us immediately."

''It's fine." Miya got into the car and drove away from her traditional Japanese home. In the car, Miya pulls out her phone and calls her friend Dessy. Miya tells him that today she is going to America and he also tells her that he broke up with Ryusuke one week ago. After saying goodbye, Miya hung up her phone. He looked out the window with reddened eyes.''Good bye Ryusuke!''muttered.

Meanwhile, an upset Dessy comes to Ryusuke's apartment. He did not think his friend would hurt his friend, Miya. Dessy has known Ryusuke since one year ago introduced by Miya in Kupang . At that time Miya was on vacation in Indonesia with Ryusuke and it was there that Miya introduced her lover. Dessy, who has been overwhelmed by anger, banged on the door of Ryusuke's apartment. The apartment door opened and Ryusuke appeared in the doorway still in a sleepy state.''Who?''

''Hello Ryusuke!''greet Dessy with annoyance.

''Aren't you Dessy? Since when have you been here?''

Without further ado Dessy directly pushed Ryusuke inside and gripped his shirt.''Brash man."

''Hey, wait! What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly mad at me?''

''Basically the man had no feelings,'' shouted Dessy, then slapped her face.''How dare you betray Miya. Miya told me this morning before she left for America."

''America?''ryusuke asked in surprise.

''Do you not know. Today Miya went to America?''

''Really? Miya didn't say anything about her departure to America today."

''Maybe he didn't want to tell you. You are such a brash man." Dessy again beat Ryusuke with her hands and also the seat cushion mercilessly.

''You have to apologize to him before his plane leaves, maybe you'll still get chased if you leave now." Without wasting any more time Ryusuke immediately got dressed and went to the airport with Dessy. Ryusuke frantically looks around for Miya and sees her while waiting for a ticket check. ''Miyaaa.''screamed.

Miya turned her head, then she threw away her face. He was already annoyed and disgusted to see his face. Ryusuke pulled Miya out of the queue.''What the hell do you want? Get your hands off!''

''I beg you to forgive me. I admit to being wrong. I was khilaf."

Miya closed her eyes, then let out a deep breath. ''I forgive you." Ryusuke's face sparkled with pleasure. ''But...''

''But what is Miya?''

''From now on, there is no relationship between us. My love for you is all gone, so don't bother my life anymore. Understood it! Now go!''

Miya then leaves after saying goodbye once again to her friend Dessy. Ryusuke looks very disappointed. Dessy saw the young man sitting with his head bowed limply. ''You have to accept all this because it is because of your own fault. Miya loves you, but you betrayed her to another woman." Dessy leaves Ryusuke alone [].
