Just Love Figurant
Chapter 31

Marcel's shivering body tried to get up, and there was no intention of Luci to help her husband. While his heart was in turmoil, Lusi was in a roll of wrath. Trying to be patient during these three months to be Marcel's wife, accepted the man's offer that he said would build a good relationship, but in fact all is a lie.

The throbbing pain in Lusi's heart, not comparable to what Marcel felt. In fact the dizziness in Marcel's head, can still be treated with drugs from the Doctor, while Lusi? It may take a lifetime to heal.

"What are you doing, Lus? You're so sassy to peek at my phone?" ask Marcel then, "don't talk a no-no."

Slowly and painfully trying to hold Lusi, Lusi returned Marcel's phone, "I accidentally saw your phone. If you really don't want to forget Renata, marry her just because of pregnancy, don't worry, I know enough who I am for you. We'll split up later, I don't want to torture you and your feelings for too long."

Her stomach had grown, but Lusi was still as strong as in elementary school. For some reason, Lusi felt his heart hurt badly.

Maybe because of love, maybe also because Lusi believes too much in the promises of Marcel. When he left, Lusi felt he shouldn't have gone far. It's just that, to stay with Marcel, that woman couldn't.

"Lus, listen to me first" Marcel asked in a soft voice. Besides not having the energy to argue, Marcel was also self-conscious, the blame was on him, "Sorry, let me explain. I'll change it soon, okay? Don't get emotional yet."

Although speaking in a soft tone, but Lusi's eyes glazed over, held back and tried to show that Lusi was not jealous in front of Marcel. The woman desperately controlled herself, not interested at all to look fragile let alone want to be pitied. That's not Lucia's character.

"There's nothing to explain anymore, Marcel. You used to say that you wouldn't make me cry, but you're still willing to stay attached to your past. Don't worry, I'll take care of you until you recover after this. But later, we better split up. I don't mind if you divorce me even though this child isn't born yet" said Luci firmly.

Although his heart ached, but Lusi had to confirm this to Marcel. For what to be together, if only it would hurt each other. Wouldn't it be nice to split up and it would be happy for Marcel.

"Why are you asking for farewell? Sit down, give me an explanation" said Marcel, patting the edge of a nearby bed.

"I don't want you to be burdened by this marriage, Marcel. You have to know one thing, no woman wants to be in a position like me. Where is there a woman who would willingly marry a man who falls in love half-dead with his best friend? No. gabe. I will never live beside you while your heart is for Renata" said Lusi.

"Lus," Marcel tried to touch his wife's hand, but the woman dodged, trying to fortify the heart so as not to expect more later, "don't ask for farewell, okay? I'm not afraid to accept sanctions from my parents, I'm just afraid that you'll feel more alone. All right, I'm sorry, I'll try to improve myself and won't keep Renata's shadow in any shape."

"From the beginning you promised, Marcel. You're not gonna hurt me, let alone make me cry. Four of your parents, even if you can break a promise to them, then what about me? I'm just your ex-friend. If I knew you'd treat me like this, I swear to God, I wouldn't do that stupid thing,"

Susi came out of the room towards the kitchen and cried as hard as there, without caring for Marcel's call. The woman needs to calm her heart, trying to learn to accept all her conditions.

He thought his life and household would end successfully and Marcel was improving on him. In fact, it was nothing more than a mere shadow.

From inside the room, Marcel tried to get up, pushing away the dizziness on his piercing head. It felt unbearable again, but Marcel needed to calm Lusi down at the moment.

As Marcel was about to reach the door, the man staggered. His head felt heavy and his strength was no longer strong to support his own body weight. Marcel fell down with his back hitting the door half-open.

Immediately Lusi walked quickly towards the direction of the room. Although his tears were erased earlier, but his traces were still clearly visible.

"Marcel, my God, are you okay?" Susi immediately crouched down, hugged Marcel and pushed her husband towards the bed, "you shouldn't wake up. Quickly rest. I'll call Nesti and ask him for help" Lusi added.

Marcel was silent. The man was too dizzy, making him have no power to talk.

There is a sense of awe in itself, when Marcel saw that Lusi was worried about him. But even so, for some reason these three months Marcel was still unaware of his feelings. He thought he was just admiring, not loving.

Susi soon passes, leaving Marcel and looking for her phone that was left on the balcony. Despite the disappointment, it is clear that Lusi still can not leave Marcel just like that.

No matter how long Lusi stayed away from Marcel until the man fell asleep, Hesti came with a doctor when dark greeted.

"How's Doctor? Is Marcel's brother seriously ill?" hesti asked as the man received a piece of paper containing a prescription of the medicine to be purchased.

"Just exhausted and a little depressed, causing head back pain to be unstoppable. For a while, two or three days were used for rest only," the doctor said.

"Well, thank you," replied Hesti to release the doctor.

"I don't know what happened to you. But I don't think you guys are okay. Why have you been quiet with each other since?" ask Hesti suddenly. The girl was still curious, why the sudden cold atmosphere.

"There's no problem whatsoever. I'm just tired and don't want to talk. Please, Hesti, let me rest" Marcel asked, closing his eyes.

Hestu stared intently at Luci who was throwing his face away, looking at the door towards the balcony to avoid the slurs from Hesti.

"I can't you lie, brother. You must have made Lusi's sister cry. Don't be too neat to keep a lie, I also know all this time, about how you behave behind Lusi's sister," said Hesti flat.

Of course, the words of Hesti are enough to make Lusi interested, and Lusi's reflexes turned towards Nesti.

"I'm more than just knowing, far from what you'd imagine," Hestu added, leaving Marcel, who had closed his eyes, to reopen it.
