My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
Anyone As long as Not Him

Unlike usual, tonight Leo felt he did not want to let go of Shera. Not because of his desire to kiss Syera, but there is something that Leo cannot explain. This day he felt something strange about him, felt uncomfortable and disturbed his mind. Leo doesn't know about anything but he doesn't want Syera to get away from him.

Strange and uncomfortable feelings that all day disturbed Leo's mind led him to do things that he himself did not want to do.

Leo's hand was not silent. The horror that was already on his lap thrashed as Leo groaned his body.

Syera smacks Leo's back as the man's breath hunts down and down to his chest. Leo really doesn't want to let go of Shera.

"Already, brother. That's enough," wailed Syera.

Syera pushes Leo's chest strong until finally he can be separated from Leo.

"Sister Leo why? Sick brother?"

Syera was confused to see Leo's face turned into a wistful even Syera could see Leo's eyes glazed over at this moment.

"Sister Leo why? Is it because Syera pushed sister?" shera asked softly, approaching Leo and wiping away her tears that were beginning to flow.

"Don't cry, brother. Don't be like this, don't make Syera afraid. Leo's brother why cry?"

Leo sat limply leaning against the pillar of the cottage behind him. He shook his head at every question of Sherah.

"Sister, answer me?"

"I don't know either, I don't know why it's suddenly like this. Suddenly I was scared and I felt empty."

Leo looked at Syera's face and fixed the already disheveled clothes of Syera.

"I'm sorry?" leo is sad.

"Oh, it's okay. It is better for Leo to rest first, maybe the sis of soy sauce and lack of sleep. Brother Leo will definitely get better after the break."

Syera invites Leo to return to the villa. Syera thinks Leo is not feeling well so his mood and mind is not good tonight.

Leo clasped Shera's hand as he walked out of the cottage. The position of the cottage is slightly higher so it must go down about five steps when going to the villa. While descending the steps Leo suddenly hugged Syera, saying that she loved the girl very much and gave a glimpse of her lips.

Someone suddenly pulled Leo's arm until his embrace with Syera came off.

Plaque!

A slap floated on Leo's left cheek, sore and buzzing in the ear. Both Leo and Syera were shocked.

"Mama?"

"Yes, this is my mom" said Mila. His face was red. There was clearly a hint of anger on his face.

"What did you guys just do? What did you do with Shera just now, huh?" mama Mila shouted followed by her neck veins that formed.

"Leo can be clear, ma. Mama don't be mad, you have to listen to what Leo has to say. Not what you think, ma."

"What's? Not what Mom thought? So you mean you were blind when you saw clearly you hugging and kissing her? He's your brother Leo. Conscious!"

Mila's mother's screams were heard by Asep who immediately followed to the source of the voice and detained Retno's aunt, his wife so as not to be closer.

"Shera is not Leo's younger brother, ma."

Duars!

Fandy who had been standing not far from them clenched his palms until the small red box he was about to show Syera sank in his grasp.

"We're not siblings. We can clear it up, ma."

"What?"

"Leo loves Syera, ma. She's the girl Leo likes."

"What's? Don't joke with my mom!"

"Shera is not Leo's real sister and we love each other, ma."

"Whatdidyou say? Mutual dear? You two love each other?"

Plaque!

Mama Mila slapped the same cheek again.

"Do you think that if she's not your real sister, you'll agree and accept her, yes?"

Plaque!

"Shut up! You shut up!"

This time Mama Mila yelled at Syera. He pulled Syera and shook her arm while crying with emotion.

"Why should you, huh? Wh why? Didn't your mama make enough for my husband to die? You're the same as him, you two want to take what I have. You are no different from your mother!"

Duars!

"Ma?"

Leo pulled Syera and hid her behind his back by tightly grasping Syera's hand.

Syera could only sob at the words of Mama Mila.

"She was not wrong, ma. Sherah knows nothing. Don't mistake him, ma."

"Leo! Even if she's not your sister, Mama doesn't care about it. It's just nice that my husband wasn't what I thought he was all along. But you didn't forget that the mother who made papa died?"

"Ma? Leo loved Syera, "just like Sera, Leo could not help but cry.

"Mama doesn't care!"

"But mama promised to accept any girl that could make Leo happy. Aye, ma? Didn't my mom forget that?"

Plaque!

"Yes, you remember and you will not forget. Mama accepts whoever the girl is but not with her. Anyone but Sera, the girl's child," cried Mama Mila blaring.

The cry of Syera broke behind Leo's back. It hurts, as if there were thousands of needles piercing his chest. Leo turned around, hugging the crying Sera.

"Don't cry, everything will be fine. Don't you worry."

"You think mom will pity your tears? Not at all. You don't care if you're siblings or not. You don't care if you love each other or not. Mama doesn't care which woman you love, as long as it's not the daughter of a woman named Wulandari."

"Ma, enough," Leo pleaded. "Mama's mouth was very painful for Syera. He knows nothing, ma. Leo loves Shera, ma."

Syera hugged Leo tightly, the tears of the two were enough to prove if the two did not want to separate.

Enough's enough! Fandy who had restrained himself earlier as Mama Mila shouted at Leo and Syera could no longer resist doing anything.

Of course Fandy was angry when he found out that Leo also liked Syera and the two had a relationship behind her. Fandy grew angry when Leo agreed that he was with Syera. Leo entrusted Shera to Fandy but the reality he saw today was inversely proportional.

Fandy is angry with Leo and Syera but he also cannot see Syera crying hearing the hurtful words of Mila's mother. The horror has nothing to do with the past.

Fandy's face that was no less dead red than Mama Mila pulled and forcibly removed Shera from Leo.

Bugs!

One hard blow Fandy gave to Leo. Leo's hand quickly pulled back Syera and grasped her tightly.

"Shera would not have heard the hurtful words from her mother and cried if it wasn't for you. So now you want to let alone withhold Syera?" fandy's voice was slow but full of emphasis, holding back his nearly bursting emotions.

Mama Mila looks at Fandy and gives him the code to take Syera from there.

"There will be a lot of heart hurt if you are still here" said Fandy saw Syera. Syera could only shake her head while sobbing, she did not want to hurt many people.

Fandy pulls back Syera and takes off the hands of Syera and Leo.

"Maybe you'll stop when you see mama's a corpse!" threaten mom Mila full of emphasis.

"Ma?" leo cried.

As Fandy takes Shera away from Leo, Mama Mila runs into the villa in a fit of anger and threatening words. Leo's dilemma, he is confused about who to choose between Syera or her mother.

Mama Mila smashed things in the living room, throwing things everywhere to make a noise in the villa. The fruit knife on the table stole Mama Mila's attention. Without thinking he walked up to the table and took the knife that stuck on the pear.

"Mah...?!"

A little too late Leo may have the knife to pull Mama Mila. Leo held back the knife that Mama Mila was going to use to hurt herself. The knife that Leo got immediately he threw away. Aunt Retno came and calmed Mama Mila.

"Ma, don't be like this. Don't hurt yourself, mama."

Leo hugged his mother who collapsed on the floor. His mind's fucked up. Leo did not want to take off Syera but he could not have left his mother who almost hurt herself with a knife.

Leo calms his mother down and regarding Shera, he will contact Fandy after his mother calms down. Leo was sure that if Syera would be fine, Fandy would definitely be able to calm Syera down at this time. After Mila's mother improves, Leo will see Syera soon. Leo also believes that Syera must understand the situation.
