Not Ustadz I (Unrevised)
16¹ Hugs Love

..."Love is blind, the term I hear so often is real. Because love can trap a person into going crazy."...

Misako is enjoying a warm coffee at the cafe where her friend relaxes, before arriving at the place in fact she was confused by her purpose. But he remembered the only friend he could talk to, and it turns out that his friend today does not take care of children.

"Why did you call me? Said there was a show." Ryu is focused on his laptop screen.

Misako let out a long breath. "I told you everything, right?"

"Then what do you think of Tanaka-san?" Ryu took his eyes off his laptop, looking at Misako seriously.

"I rejected it, but I felt that our friendship would be strained. I don't want that to happen Ryu.."

Hearing a complaint from his friend makes Ryu a little sad, he re-typed his keyboard with his wiggly fingers.

"You don't want to be in a relationship? For me dating isn't bad."

Misako stared out the window with a sharp look. "No. Dating is not the right thing for me, for anyone who just wants to be in an uncertain relationship with me. Better back off, 'cause I know I want to. (slurpt)."

Ryu laughed a little hearing that. "What is the type you want to be? Handsome guy? Muscled? The anime?"

"Huh? Isn't hmph."

"Haha! What do you like about it anyway?"

Misako looked at the ceiling of the cafe, her right hand touching her lips. His eyes flickered, his strange expression making Ryu slightly comforted.

"Type yes, it's not hard, I just like people who are really serious and have a belief in me. Different is indeed a reasonableness in relationships, but I do not like different religions with my lover. The point is that he didn't force his love on me, was willing to wait for me, and ready to correct my decision and support it. Last but not least, he had to wait for me to graduate hehe university. Was it hard?"

Ryu was wide, he took off his glasses, looked out the window with his hand propping up his chin. "That's an easy condition, at least for me."

Misako laughed out loud. "Are you going to marry me, huh? You big boy!"

"Can."

"H-huh?"

Ryu put his glasses back on. "I bi-sa me-ni-ka-hi-mu Misako-chan.."

"What does that mean?" Misako asked a little nervously.

"I'm not the type to force my opinion on others, I can also wait for you to graduate university. I'm not a reckless person you know?" Ryu's honest revelation confuses Misako.

Misako gulps down her drink, trying to digest Ryu's words again. "What does that mean? You're not one of faith with me Ryu. So don't dream."

"Wrong. My other family didn't, but I was different and I didn't intend to play around with someone who stole my heart." Ryu said, for a moment he fell silent and then got up to clean his desk.

"You wanna play together? Today Hikari is gone."

Misako is still petrified, different when Tanaka confesses her feelings, this time her heart is pounding. Why me?, her mind.

"I-i... (Drr!)"

Not yet had time to answer his phone ringing, Misako immediately picked up the phone when she saw her brother's name. "What's wrong? Brother why?... Why are you crying..."

The worried look on his face, he occasionally glanced at Ryu as if saying 'I can't follow you.'

"... Okay, brother, I'm there now."

Misako looked down apologetically. "I'm sorry, we spent some time together sometime.."

"Yes careful!" Ryu waved his hand, Misako replied to him with a smile then left.

After the shadow disappeared, Ryu tidied up his belongings and left the cafe. He walked with a sad facial expression, many pairs of eyes watching his steps, especially the women. His tall body with a stern gaze allured the surrounding girls, occasionally he sighed yet still looked cool in the eyes of the crowd.

'I just published myself in school, but... I have to part with him... Any more?' Inner Ryu grimaced, knowing the circumstances in which he had to leave Japan.

On the other hand, it's in Shindong's hotel. Misako has just arrived after an hour and a half drive by city bus. He had to run a quarter of the way because there was no vehicle other than a taxi, while he did not bring more money. He regretted leaving his wallet at home and only carrying small money, his mind was chaotic but he still worried about his brother.

"Sister, I'm coming."

After asking the employees and filling out the guestbook, I ran up the elevator through the five floors. Why did Liam choose such a high floor anyway? Wanna kill yourself?

(Click!) Misako opens the door with a card given by a hotel employee, Liam has indeed given direction to hotel employees.

"Assynoltomodel.."

His feet stepped on the floor of the room, the first thing he felt was that the room was dark. His eyes looked around, his heart hesitating as he knew his brother did not like the dark room. As he found the medicine on the table, his eyes widened. A sedative? What really happened to my sister?

"Sister! You di- (pluk!)"

Liam tightly hugged his sister's body from behind, Misako who was surprised to refuse the hug but felt her brother's shivering body made him undo his intentions. Misako's hand gently patted Liam's arm's hand, her mouth said to keep calm.

"What happened brother?" Misako asked worriedly.

Slowly Liam let go of his embrace, then sat down on the bed. "I'm..."

Misako approached Liam and gently stroked her head. "Take it easy, brother, tell me whatever you want to say..."

Liam nodded slowly, Misako sat down beside Liam while hugging him to calm Liam who was still shaking. "Tell me... Trust me I'll help you as much as possible..."

In the end Liam tells his story on the day their father died, Havard died of a stroke after an accident. The accident caused by Liam being pushed after a rampage.

"Why did you go berserk with dad?" Ask Misako.

"I was angry with him because he wanted me to go abroad, a long way from home. I didn't want to leave the stub I left in the country, until I finally ran away. When the road was quiet, I stopped for a moment. Then my body was suddenly thrown away by the encouragement of my father, and in front of me I saw blood flowing everywhere. R-wheel it..."

Liam's body trembled, Misako who saw that can only conclude Liam experienced trauma. Big brother all this time just kept quiet, how could I know all that? You think I'm a shaman?

"It was a past trauma, but seeing a sister like this made me believe there was something else. Am I wrong?"

Liam shook his head, he held his sister's hand tightly. "I dreamt of Dad, there was a figure who chased him and killed him. Then I said if you still needed it, and suddenly I heard strange noises... Then I met a woman recently, I don't understand why you still bother me..."

"Didn't you need a father?"

Liam looked at Misako's face in confusion. "Huh?"

Misako gave a big smile, she stroked her brother's hand which was too tight to hold his hand until it broke. "Sister, try to sleep and tell dad that you really need him. Tell him to rest in peace, too, because he's willing to let go... Try it now, brother must be sleepy right? I'll keep you company..."

Hearing Misako's soft words made Liam feel at peace, he lay down beside Misako. Slowly Liam closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seriate...
