The Bride's Tears Replacement

Chapter 39

All day Love is in her room. He was still thinking about Rafa's question this morning.

"What should I do? Should I tell him about that horrible memory?"

Ddrriyittt…

Cellphone's ringing. His phone screen was marked by a call from a foreign number. Though doubtful, Love still answered him.

"Assalamu'alaikum, who's sorry?"

"Love, baby. It's me Joy."

Hearing that name Love fell silent. His heart is beating fast. There was a sense of disbelief, right now Joy was talking to him.

"Joy?" Deuteronomy.

"Yes dear. It's me Joy."

The eyes of Love are glassy. How hearty it was to know she was talking to Joy. The only friend, the best friend, the lover who was always there for him. Giving love when Love loses both parents. Joy also always defended him when Cinta tortured Pakde, Bude and Febi.

"Joy, where have you been missing all this time?" He asked followed by her tears.

"I'm sorry Love. I had to follow Mama's will, Papa. If I refuse, they threaten to hurt you. You know, right? I won't let anyone hurt you." Evidently.

Love cries. It felt like his heart was broken as well as happy. Yeah, Happy love can talk to Joy. But it was destroyed when considering his current condition was married.

"Don't cry baby. Hold on a minute. I'll pick you up." Persuade Joy.

"No Joy. I'm a wife now."

"really?" Sahut Joy was stung pura did not know.

"I'm sorry Joy. I don't have a choice." He said in a cry.

"You love her?"

"I'm not sure." Love sobbed.

"Did he treat you well?"

"alright. If you are happy now. But, when you find it hard or hurt, come to me, baby. I'm always here waiting for you and missing you." Joy.

Love simply nodded, then immediately ended the conversation. She cried sobbing hugging the pillow.

At that moment, Rafa came. He approached Love and pulled out the hair that covered the face of Love.

"What's the matter, baby?" Rafa asked softly.

Love soon rises and splashes in Rafa's arms. He continued his crying in Rafa's chest.

"Crying, baby. If it's gonna strengthen you later." The back of Love.

The cry of Love is growing. This time Rafa lets her cry. Usually Rafa would scold her while crying.

"Did you love me?" Tanya Love sniffles.

Rafa quiet. He doesn't know what to answer. All this time his treatment of Love confused him himself. So, Rafa had no answer. For all he knows, right now Love belongs to him and no one should snatch from him.

"You're my wife, my queen and the only woman I want. Isn't that enough to be the answer to your question?" Pecking the top of Love's head.

"I'll never go anywhere, no matter what. Except for the one who took me off." Say Love while tightening his embrace.

Various questions arise in Rafa's head, because of the slightly strange attitude of Love according to him. But, that question was impossible for him to reveal at this moment. Given the very fragile state of love.

"Want to shop?" Rafa asked trying to cheer up.

Love shakes strong. He just tightened his embrace.

"Are you afraid of losing me?"

Love nodded strongly and tightened his embrace.

"You won't lose me. Whatever happens, I'll always be yours." Replying to the embrace of Love.

The tears of love flowed back. He was confused as to what he felt right now.

'Forgive me Joy. My husband is the best for me right now. I'm sorry, please don't let me go.' His inner.
