The Bride's Tears Replacement

Chapter 46

(Still stories of the past) 😉

Last week, Love was always picked up by Joy to go to school. Seeing Joy treat Love like a princess makes Febi angry and dislikeful. Until he looks for a loophole to make Joy angry and leave Love.

By the way, Love has not come home today. I don't know where Joy took her today after school. Febi who was waiting for the return of Love with a feeling of annoyance, surprised with the arrival of Rafa.

"Who's looking?" Greet Febi ketus.

"Is love?" Rafa asked politely.

"No, he hasn't come home yet." The answer is still slouching.

Rafa took something out of his backpack. Then he handed me a piece of paper with a phone number.

"Please give this to Love. Tell him to call me." Her request.

"Yes." Yeah." Taking the paper in doubt.

After giving it away, Rafa immediately left. Not long after Rafa's departure, Cinta arrives at her house escorted by Joy.

"Thank you Joy." Get off the car.

"same. I should be the one to thank you for accompanying me to play today." Joy said happily.

After that Joy went straight home. And Love soon entered the house.

Skips…

Two days later, Love returned to school alone. Go on foot as usual. I don't know why Joy wouldn't want to talk to him. He seemed to be very angry and annoyed at Love. While Love himself feels not doing anything that can make Joy angry or upset at him.

Apparently Febi reported to Joy about Rafa coming looking for Love. Febi exaggerates by saying that Cinta often goes with Rafa and they also like each other.

At first Joy still wants to question her truth about Love. But, all of that was undone. Joy sees Love talking to Rafa in front of the school gate. Love looks very happy, visible from both corners of his eyes.

"So right, you don't like me anymore Love." Clenched his fists.

"Let's just watch you love. I am always good and help you. You're just mine Love, I'll get rid of all who come near you. Or I'll get rid of you." Irritated bluff.

Joy who never felt the affection of her parents made her feel excluded. From the age of six, Joy was adopted by a wealthy Chinese family. The family had a son a year younger than Joy. And that made Joy feel eliminated, too.

But, Joy's sad feelings are treated with the existence of Love. For him even if no one wants it, it's fine, as long as there is Love for him.

Joy and Love have known each other since they first entered elementary school. Joy has been paying more attention to Love since both of Love's parents died. He becomes full of attention and gives anything to Love so that he is happy.

Seeing intimate love with others makes him feel rivaled and afraid of being left behind. That was what finally made him lose his mind. Until he starts plotting to kidnap Love.

Day after day, Rafa finds Love more and more. Just to give food and sometimes also take Love home. At first Love does not want to, but because Rafa tells about his twin Rani, making Love's heart feel pity. So he wants to be friends with Rafa.

"Love, I have something for you." Poking a small rectangular box at Love.

"Don't open it first. You're not home." Rafa.

"All right, thanks Adit." Her speech.

Yes, Rafa introduced himself by the name of Adit. I don't know why he's reluctant to introduce his name as Rafa.

After that, Love went home. He preferred to go home in the public transportation, because today he got the prize money for successfully getting the highest grade in the class on repeat.

Rafa also allows Cinta to go home in angkot. And Rafa watched until the angkot that Love was carrying disappeared from his sight.

Across the street, Joy has been watching Love and Rafa since. He was getting upset and very angry at Love.

"Sister, let's go home. I'm tired." Take a Chinese boy who's been waiting in the car.

"Yes. Come home." Into the car. He ordered his driver to take them home.

Meanwhile, in the Angkot, Love looks at the box Rafa gives. He opened the box and saw what appeared to be a necklace with an R&C pendant. Love smiles happy to see that. He really liked that necklace. Her pendant reminded Love of a gift from her Mama on her eighth birthday.

"Thank you, Adit." He said while keeping the necklace box in his backpack.

Upon arrival in front of the house, Love is greeted with a slap from Bude. Love fell to the ground while holding her sore cheek. Bude also pulled the veil until it came off.

"Still little is smart to seduce guys." Bentak Bude by pulling the body of Love to immediately stand up.

"It's just that you're veiled, closing your body. If in the end it's just seducing the guy you're doing." Pulling strong hair Love who is still covered with her hijab.

He's not crying. Just enduring the pain of his cheek from a hard slap from his Budenya. True her daughter's face has turned red, the work of Fita's hand slap imprinted there.

"Stop tormenting her." Shouted an old beggar from outside the fence of the house of Love.

"cover face. If his face is open he will get unlucky. The one who sees his face will also get unlucky." The old beggar's bitch was many times.

Feeling uncomfortable hearing the old beggar's chatter, Fita and Febi pulled Love into the house.

Skips…

The next day Love returned to school. He looked at Joy and wanted to greet her. But Joy stepped quickly as if avoiding him. Love lost Joy the last week. She just saw Joy today. Because they are not in the same class.

Love is sad because Joy is away from her. While Joy's the only friend she's got. And silent Love never had a crush on Joy. But that was before Rafa came into his life.

Even so, Love does not want to lose Joy. Joy was his only friend, brother, and family. If Joy asks her to choose between herself and Rafa, Love will still choose Joy.

Unfortunately Joy never asked that. He just avoids love. It made Cinta very sad and started thinking about the old beggar's words yesterday.

"What all this happened because I removed my veil in front of a stranger that day and yesterday my veil was also removed by Bude. Yeah, since then everything I loved was at my distance." His words guessed.

At his young age, it was natural that he thought so. Especially when Joy who was very dear to him arrived to avoid him.
