The Wrong Way to Love a Psychopath
Chapter 12 The Struggle

Seeing Anika cry, Yaslan immediately stopped the action.

"Sorry Anika, sorry, sorry sorry!"

He was kneeling on the floor. His face looked really sorry.

"I'm sorry I was wrong! I followed my friend's advice, but it seems to be true that girls won't be forced like this!"

For six months Yaslan tried to open the door of the girl he was expecting, but to no avail. It made him despair to the point of doing something that was actually beyond his principles.

Maybe if my past wasn't this dark, I'd just accept your love, Anika.

He remained silent and grabbed his bag, then headed for the bedroom door.

Seeing that, Yaslan held him back.

"I'll be out, you stay here." He soon changed clothes in the bathroom.

Before coming out, he looked back at Anika. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. But what I did to you was because I really liked you. I've never been like that to another woman."

Anika is now alone in the room. His body began to tremble.

He refrained from looking scared. Now that he had been alone, the trauma of the past began to re-terrorize him.

Because of her trauma, she was very afraid of the opposite sex and hated being touched by them. Only Kairi can take away the trauma. And when her trauma reappears, she will always think of Kairi.

Why is Kairi always the one to think about. Anika started to fall on the floor hugging herself and crying. Why can't I forget it?!

With Kairi in mind, her fear began to disappear.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The next day, the two friends looked awkward while enjoying nature.

Yaslan was afraid that he would hurt Anika again, so he tried to put some distance between them. He also lacked sleep because he fell asleep last night on the sofa lobby because he could not find another inn.

Anika felt a little guilty. Because of her, Yaslan had to get out of the room.

No. It's not my fault, if only she didn't attack me first, Anika's inner self tried not to blame her.

Taking the night bus, the two agreed to spend time traveling around the desal near the stop. The sound of frogs was heard from the rice fields in this star-filled night.

Not far from there, Anika saw many fireflies flying by the river. Even more than he had ever seen before.

He immediately approached the river, thinking of catching one.

"Anika! Be careful!" Yaslan. The river flow was quite heavy making him worried.

Anika did not heed his warning. He continues to try to catch up to the twinkling of the glowing insect, chasing his happy memories with Kairi.

Due to being too focused on the little creature, Anika accidentally stepped on the soft edge of the ground, making her slip into the river.

"Anger!!"

Without a second thought Yaslan jumped into the river to catch Anika. He had learned about ways to save himself while camping with his friends, so he tried to calm down and swim with the flow to catch Anika. After getting it, he swam back in the stream, trying to pull over.

Anika was unconscious because she had swallowed too much river water.

"Please, hang in!" Yaslan tried to squeeze his chest and give him an artificial breath. Basic knowledge of first aid is very he mastered considering his profession as a doctor.

Soon Anika started coughing and spewing water out.

"Thank God, Anika." Yaslan hugged her tightly. Anika is not his lover, let alone his wife, but he feels almost lost to the person he loves so much.

"You all right? I'll get you some warm clothes" he said, heading for the bag they left at home.

"Kairi.." was the first word out of his mouth.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Their solid activity makes the two meet less and less often.

Yaslan was actually curious about the name he had heard back then. He said it wasn't a woman's name.

But Yaslan did not look angry at him at all.

Instead, Anika started to open her little heart. He did not want to trouble Yaslan more than this, and wanted to repay his cultivation.

Therefore Anika ventured to her house while bringing a little food as a sign of gratitude.

"Anika?" Yaslan surprised his guest at night turns out to be Anika.

"This is for you, thank you at that time. Sorry to bother you so much"

"I told you, no problem. Don't think too much." Somehow Yaslan did not dare to open the door wide.

Faintly Anika saw the figure of another person visible from the gap of the door that opened a little.

"I've troubled you many times already."

"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow!"

Actually Anika hopes to be invited into her house and eat together, she is a little suspicious of Yaslan who mah told her to go home.

But when Anika turned around, she was startled by the voice of a woman from inside the house.

"Who Lan?" The woman approached Yaslan and opened the door wide.

In front of her, stood a beautiful and very fashionable woman. The makeup on her face looked good and her hair was curled up very pretty.

Anika realizes that she has interrupted the show of the two of them and immediately says goodbye.

"Good night." she turned around immediately.

For the rest of my life I'd better be alone. There are no men to be trusted.

Suddenly a hand caught his wrist.

"It's not what you see!" Yaslan tried to convince him.

A beautiful woman on one roof. If not as I see it, then what? inner Anika sad.

But he later realizes that he is not Yaslan's man. Just a friend, nothing more. Even so, he felt lied to because Yaslan always said that he was special.

Therefore feel a little disappointed to see him with another woman.

"What's wrong, sorry to bother you guys."

"Wait on! Anika's! I'm sorry..."

"Not to apologize, brother. From the beginning we were just friends, nothing more."

Anika tries to take her grip off, but Yaslan catches her one hand.

"Make our relationship more than friends. That way I won't let another girl interfere with your mind."

Anika is getting confused made by him.

What do those words mean? inner wonder.

"Maybe this is the umpteenth time I've said, you're the only one special to me. Please accept my love! You can break up if you feel uncomfortable with me. But give me a chance of three months!"

Anika could not bear to see Yaslan's face. What made him so special that a good, established guy like him fought for?

His mind began to return to the sacrifices and struggles Yaslan had put on him all along.

Can he accept his love?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
