Being Queen in the Hands of Sister-in-law
Part 47's

The heavier thing after a loss is to try to be okay in the presence of humans. Though the feeling is being crushed.

Micah took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Time healed nothing in Micah's heart. Micah was only forced to get used to the lingering wounds.

In fact, he was not okay when he met Gavin. The pain is still the same. Not less.

Micah put on a face that looked fine when he met Nathan. As if before Nathan's arrival nothing happened to Micah. And no one else came to Micah's apartment.

"Hi..."

In fact, just hearing a greeting Micah could not stem his tears. His heart returned fragile after a long time of trying to be strong.

"Why?"

Micah did not answer. But it just sobbed in Nathan's arms. He doesn't want to be asked why now. Micah just needs a soothing hug.

After a while of letting Micah down with his cries, Nathan wiped Micah's tears on his cheeks gently.

"I won't ask you why again. But if you still want to cry, my embrace is ready to calm."

Micah dared to look at Nathan. "He's coming again" Micah said slowly.

There was no surprise on Nathan's face. She had guessed what caused Micah to cry like this. The arrival of Gavin who he also met in the lobby was the cause.

"I'm sorry, I'm still too weak to deal with him."

"Sst." Nathan put his index finger on Micah's lips. "I never forced you to forget him. But slowly, I will make only me who is in your heart."

The guilt for Nathan in Micah's heart was so great. Nathan's love for himself was so sincere. But brazenly, Micah has not been able to fully love Nathan. Even when they have been in a relationship for two months.

Yep. Two months ago, Micah decided to accept Nathan's love. But Nathan had to accept Micah's condition of heart that had been hurt so many times that Micah forgot how to heal his own heart.

At first, Nathan doesn't care if Micah doesn't love him completely. But Gavin's arrival scares Nathan. Afraid of losing Micah even when he had not managed to gain Micah's heart.

"Do you love me?" nathan asked and made Micah freeze for a moment.

"I don't know, sorry. But I'm afraid of losing you. I miss you being away from me. Is that his name?"

Nathan chuckled small. "I don't know. But, I'm glad to hear you say that."

Though deep in heart, Nathan thought that Micah felt that way because he was afraid of loneliness. It's not that I'm really afraid of losing Nathan.

Nathan let out a subtle breath. It is already a risk to love someone whose heart is still left behind in the past.

Nathan had to fight even harder in order to have Micah's heart fully.

He would not if his attempts to get close to Micah ended in vain because of Gavin's return.

If only time could be turned back, Gavin would definitely not let Micah go.

Now, he himself felt his regret. He alone can only love in silence. Can only pray that they will be reunited if they are destined to be a match.

"Repair yourself and be self-reliant. Believe me, if it is a mate, no matter how far you are at the moment, one day it will definitely be united. If it is not his soul mate, God must have prepared the best for both of you. If you're reunited, at least you're coming in a better version."

Gavin's return from Paris was greeted by Yunita with much advice. From the look on Gavin's face, Yunita knew that her attempt to regain Micah's chance had failed.

"Even if Micah has a lover now, they are not necessarily a match. The sign of a mate or not, it is after a marriage contract. If there is no marriage contract, it is not necessarily a mate. No one knows what happened before the accident. Even if a minute before."

Gavin nodded his head without saying much.

His body is not healthy. Especially after a long journey, it felt like his body was getting sick until opening his eyes only felt heavy.

"We're going to the hospital, yeah."

"What's wrong? Your body is hot. I'm so dizzy, aren't you? Broken hearts can. But loving yourself is obligatory."

Unable to resist, Yunita quickly took Gavin to the hospital. Aided by the driver and his home gardener to bring Gavin into the car.

Gavin can only resign when Bella sticks an intravenous needle into the back of her hand.

"It turns out Lo can hurt too, huh, Vin? I thought it could only hurt doang," said Bella.

"Udah, really. I also tried to apologize to him, really," said Gavin with closed eyes.

Bella snorts cynically. "But rejected again, right? Kasian, you, Lo!"

"It's up to you, man," Gavin closed without caring what Bella said.

Bella accidentally goes honeymoon to Paris so she can meet Micah. If anyone asks who Bella married to, of course with doctor Raka.

Senior whose name and face continue to fill Bella's days since she worked at the same hospital as Raka.

His love does not clap one hand. Love greets. Her love is reciprocated by Raka until they got married four months ago.

Bella never calmed down because Micah was still angry. He tried to contact Micah through the DM but was not responded to by Micah at all.

Bella thinks she herself has to explain what really happened between herself and Gavin.

Not to help Gavin, but Bella wants to fix her relationship with Micah.

"Who?" Mia looked at Bella and Raka questioningly.

"Is this Micah's apartment?"

Mia nodded in confirming. "really. What's the need? Micah is in college."

"What time is it, huh?"

"Maybe home soon. Go in first."

Mia invites Raka and Bella to enter. Tell them to sit in the living room while waiting for Micah to come home.

"Assynolajet. Ma'am Miaaa..."

Micah opened the door and said hello. Calling Mia with a cheerful tone. Micah had not realized that there were two strangers in the living room of his apartment.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Bella and Raka simultaneously.

At that moment also Micah's body pegged in its place. Micah did not blink when he saw Bella standing up to greet him with a big smile.

"Gapain Lo's here?" mikha asked coldly.

Gavin's explanation that Bella is his best friend changes nothing. Micah still couldn't believe that Bella had nothing to do with Gavin.

"Can we talk for a second? I need to get this straight here."

"Gue's tired, want to rest. You guys please get out of here!"

Micah passed by from before them. He ignored them and gave Bella a chance to talk.

Micah is convinced of Bella's arrival at Gavin's request. Already thought that Bella would say that they had nothing to do, it used to be a charade.

Micah smiled cynically. Why did they endlessly disturb Micah's calm? Can't they just let Micah be happy by forgetting Gavin and everything related to Gavin?
