When the One I Love Betrays
KYKB 179

Shafa grabbed the glass Joseph gave him without hesitation. He immediately drank the remaining half of the juice until it ran out. And immediately slammed the glass on the floor right next to Joseph.

Prang

Shafa cried sobbing, and his eyes immediately stared intently at Joseph.

"Why Jo, why should I like you. Why do you have to be the first one to show up when I was in trouble since I was a kid, why do you have to be my dad's confidant, why Jo?" shafa asked while holding his head with both hands.

"Why don't I just fall in love with someone else, get married and be happy with that guy and go all the way from you!" shafa continued in a soft voice.

Shafa pulled both of his knees, hugged him and hugged him with both hands. Then he leaned his head towards his knees.

Shafa sobbed, his whole body shaking. She felt very sad, disappointed, and did not pu4s against herself at this time. He felt that he was so stupid and useless. His heart did not even understand the circumstances that he and Joseph were not worth it. It won't be easy for Joseph.

Joseph who saw Shafa so frustrated could only swallow his saliva with great difficulty. He himself did not know what he felt to Shafa this was just pity, a feeling of guilt for failing to keep Shafa or indeed there was a liking in his heart to Shafa.

Actually Joseph began to be disturbed at the decision of his heart since the incident in the car at that time. Previously she had really only considered Shafa her little miss, the lady she would always look after and protect. But Joseph forgot that the little lady was now 27 years old. She was a beautiful, stubborn woman. Already a woman who is more reckless than Junior High who just wrote a love letter and gave it to Joseph. More determined than a teenage girl who expressed her desire to build a household and aspire to be a good wife and mother for Joseph and his children.

Joseph raised his hand slowly towards Shafa's head, he walked over because his hand had not yet reached Shafa's head.

Slowly Joseph rubbed Shafa's head. He felt someone touch his head and there was no one else in the room but Joseph. Shafa lifted his head and wiped his tears, then turned to look at Joseph whose face still remained flat.

Joseph rubbed Shafa's head twice gently and then retracted his hand. Joseph grabbed the dressing chair behind him and pulled him near Shafa's bed and sat there.

Their distance was now not too far, even less than a meter.

Joseph let out a long breath before speaking.

"I've been working with great masters since I was 18. You also know that I grew up in an orphanage. The great lord is a permanent donor at the orphanage where I live and survive, where I get an education, and a decent life!" joseph's Story on Shafa.

Shafa listened intently to what Joseph had told him. For this was the first time, Joseph said in a long sentence to Shafa. Even voluntarily sitting near Shafa without Shafa forcing him.

Joseph continued his story.

"When I walked into this house for the first time, a little girl who was only 7 years old always ran away from me out of fear. He said my face was scary. Like the math teacher at her school, I remember crying and asking that I never go into this house again. Until one year he was no longer afraid of me!" Joseph paused his sentence and his eyes seemed to start to glaze over.

"In this house I have gained the trust, the affection of the great master and also the mistress. I am indeed only a servant4n, but the great lord, the mistress as well as the two young masters have never treated me like a servant4n. I was given the same brand of clothes they were wearing, I ate the same food they ate. I'm even allowed to eat one table with them!" Joseph paused his sentence.

"What would happen if those who have trusted me so much, trusted me to protect that little girl...!"

"Enough Jo!" peek Shafa interrupted what Joseph wanted to tell him.

"Look at me Jo, I'm no longer that little girl. I've been dewas4 Jo!" shafa said with red eyes, he was very upset because Joseph always considered her the little girl he should always protect and take care of.

Shafa wants to be taken care of by Joseph, but not as the little girl he knew 20 years ago. Shafa wants Joseph to look after her like a man who looks after a woman, not like a bodyguard who looks after her employer's child.

"Miss, now your mind is in turmoil. I'm sure when you get back to how you were, you'll also forget this momentary feeling, miss...!"

"You're rejecting me again, aren't you?" shafa asked again to interrupt what Joseph said.

Joseph looked at Shafa who was so fragile and sad. Somehow Joseph also felt his heart ache, but this was very difficult for him. As from the beginning he felt that Shafa and himself were like heaven and earth, although always together but absolutely could not be reached. Joseph felt that he should reject Shafa once more.

"Miss, if you think so. Then just think of it!" joseph said, not daring to look at Shafa's face.

Shafa again had to sigh heavily. It turned out that the man next to him was indeed very clueless about his feelings.

"Get out!" peekit Shafa's.

"Miss, someone must accompany you...!"

"Get out!" shafa shouted again and this time his hand pointed Joseph to the exit.

Joseph, who did not want to make a scene, stood up and walked out of Shafa's room. Joseph closed the door, and stood before the door of Shafa's room.

Shafa came back crying. He just expresses his feelings. Why Joseph always thought of her as a child, he hated it so much.

While Joseph, he also did not want to undermine the trust of the Hendrawan family to him. The family that has given him life is far above the word worthy.

The two people were both feeling a deep sadness in their hearts. The difference is, Joseph is very good at covering up his feelings, while Shafa he continues to cry about what is in his heart.
