Young Master Liem
Chapter 23 Sun Kwan's Passion

Since Sun Kwan's accidental meeting with the Sweet One the other day, inexplicably Sun Kwan's mind became unsettled. The evening reflected the face of the increasingly beautiful Sweet, with his appearance more beautiful to look at.

Sun Kwan poured all his feelings on the paper. He painted the figure of the Sweet One, then colored it with watercolor. The painting is so vivid, even if only based on Sun Kwan's memory. Admired the painting, as if looking at a color photo that was not yet in the Dutch East Indies.

Not only one painting, some paintings he finally made just to satisfy his mind in remembering the Sweet One. Unbeknownst to him, Siaw Cing looked at the paintings when he suddenly entered his room.

The eyes of Wan Siang's younger sister were wide-eyed to see her half-sister who had never been close to a woman, instead painting the figure of a woman with the ability, namely the Sweet One.

Knowing the arrival of Siaw Cing, Sun Kwan was surprised, but had no chance to hide his paintings. With a slow but sure step, Siaw Cing approached Sun Kwan.

“Does Koh Sun Kwan like the girl?” ask Siaw Cing. Without naming her, Sun Kwan already knew who the girl in question was.

“Why, can't I like it?” Sun Kwan asked back.

“But Koh, the girl belongs to Koh Wan Siang. Koh Wan Siang definitely didn't want hers taken for granted.”

“That girl is not his wife. Do you think Mama would agree if Koh Wan Siang married her?”

“I don't know that problem, which I know Koh Wan Siang loves him. And what if Sweetie also likes Koh Wan Day?”

Sun Kwan recalled how the Sweet No longer called “Tuan”, but “Koh Wan Siang”. Clearly, the relationship between Si Manis and Wan Siang is getting closer. But Sun Kwan's mind tried to reject all that, not wanting to accept the reality.

“We don't know about the future, at least before everything happens, I want to try,” Sun Kwan said with a firm heart.

“Stop Koh, stop expecting her,” says Siaw Cing, her eyes teary about to cry.

“Is it because you're Koh Wan Siang's younger brother, so you're more supportive of him?”

“Not! I just don't want my two sisters to compete and fight over girls.”

“Actually we have both been competing for a long time, and Koh Wan Siang always wins in the end. I always let her win, and sometimes I even give up on her to stop scolding her. But... this time, I really want to fight.”

“Koh Sun Kwan knows right, that high expectations can also hurt us? I don't want Engkoh to get hurt and sick. Engkoh has suffered too much. So before Engkoh feels that pain, please stop.”

“I'm used to suffering, what does one more affliction mean?” Sun Kwan laughed cynically about his own fate.

“I love Koh Sun Kwan, maybe my love is beyond my love for Koh Wan Siang. Hence... I do not want to once again see Engkoh hurt.”

Sun Kwan looked at Siaw Cing, the girl had never said such a thing, the few words comforted the young man and made him smile.

“Thank you for loving me, there is finally one thing I can win from Koh Wan Siang, which is your affection.”

“For that reason, I beg Engkoh to listen to my advice.”

Sun Kwan kept quiet, he did not agree with the words of Siaw Cing. The girl became more worried.

“Don't worry about me, Siaw Cing.”

“Then now, what will Engkoh do?”

Sun Kwan kept silent, the question was not answered. He even tried to end his conversation with the girl.

“Come back to your room, sleep. I am also very sleepy,” said Sun Kwan. Siaw Cing was forced to return to his room. His heart was saddened that Sun Kwan would not consider his advice.

Sun Kwan feels he has started a dispute, but he who has long been forced to lose, this time has the desire to fight for his own happiness. Indeed, humans have the right to fight for each other's happiness, no matter what price must be paid and what needs to be sacrificed if necessary.

Sun Kwan held a painting of the Sweet One on his chest. He hopes to meet the Sweet One in a dream.

That night Sun Kwan dreams of meeting the Sweet One, who smiles especially for him. It was as if the girl also wanted herself and loved her. Sun Kwan's feeling was very happy, as if it was reality.

***

Unbeknownst to Siaw Cing, Sun Kwan goes to Wan Siang's house on Wednesday. That afternoon He came with a gift in the form of pia cap “Bay” which he bought from the pia shop “Tjiang Goan” in the famous Besen Gang delicious.

He knew that meeting the Sweet One while Wan Siang was in Kudus was not a good thing, but he was willing to humble himself to go down that path to see the girl he loved. The young man had lost his mind.

When Sun Kwan came, the one who opened the door was a maid.

“Master is not at home,” said the maid.

“I know, where is this house lady?” Sun Kwan asked.

“Nona... it is noon, but from earlier he has not come out of the room, not usually like this.”

Just by hearing the maid's words alone, Sun Kwan quickly entered regardless of the rules. He went straight to the Sweetie's room.

The sweet man lay weakly in his bed, like a man who was shivering in the cold. Sun Kwan examined Sweet's forehead, and as he expected, the girl had a high fever.

“Manic.. you have a fever.”

“Sun Kwan, why are you here? Koh Wan Siang is only at home Saturday and Sunday,”, said the Sweet with a soft voice.

“I didn't mean to meet Koh Wan Siang, I wanted to see you.”

“But... is it good, meet me when Koh Wan Siang is not there?”

“You are sick, you should not think much first. Let me get you some medicine.”

Seeing the sick woman alone, Sun Kwan did not think long. He went to the drugstore and bought the necessary medicine to lower the heat of the Sweet One. He boiled the medicine himself and drank it to the Sweet One.

Then as Wan Siang did, Sun Kwan prepared a tray containing a plate of food and water. But when Sun Kwan was about to feed the girl, the Sweet refused. The Sweetie prefers to try to eat alone even though it is a bit difficult, because it has to withstand the overwhelming feeling of dizziness.

Sun Kwan compresses the forehead of the Sweet One with a cloth moistened by water to help lower the heat. Wan Siang's half-sister waited for Sweet until the heat came down. Like a doctor, Sun Kwan repeatedly examined the girl's forehead until her fever subsided.

Sweetie feels pain, but is also very confused. Sun Kwan took care of her very painstakingly, making the girl unkind.

“Sun Kwan, thank you, but actually I really do not feel good to bother you like this,”, said the Sweet One.

“I'm glad to take care of you. Koh Wan Day time is not there, you are sick. I don't know why today I'd love to see you, isn't this fate?”

“If Koh Wan Siang knows, I don't know what he's thinking.”

“Which is clear, he has no right to be angry. Do you think that he who was far away there, can take care of you if you are sick like now?”

The Sweet fell silent, for what Sun Kwan said was not wrong. But in terms of speed is not good. The sweetie was very confused thinking about it. He blames himself, why he should be sick at the wrong time.

“Now your heat has gone down, I can go home quietly.”

Sun Kwan finally arrived after the evening. Her heart was so happy to see the Sweetie all day. The maids at Wan Siang's house did not dare to say anything, because Sun Kwan was the sister of their master. They decided to keep the day secret. Because if Wan Siang to know, it will certainly cause misunderstanding. Not to mention, all helpers will be scolded by Wan Siang for not paying attention to the Sweet, so Sun Kwan had to intervene alone.

***

Sun Kwan walked into his room with a very happy feeling. Never before has he been that close to the Sweet One, also in such a long time. Wan Siang's departure in Kudus instead he made a golden opportunity to approach the girl of his dreams.

He knew what would happen if Wan Siang knew. Of course his half-brother would be angry, because he understood that Wan Siang also had feelings for the Sweet One. As a man, he could understand Wan Siang's feelings for the Sweet One.

But Sun Kwan did not care anymore, he was willing to face any danger. He was ready to face Liem Wan Siang.

Siaw Cing looked at the newly returned Sun Kwan. He suspected something, so he asked his brother.

“Koh Sun Kwan from where?” siaw Cing asked suspiciously.

“I met him,” replied Sun Kwan with a calm face.

“Is there also Koh Wan Siang?”

“No, she's alone, and is sick. Koh Wan Siang is only at home Saturday and Sunday because there is work in Kudus.”

“Did Engkoh realize what Engkoh did, what if Koh Wan Siang knew?”

“I'm not afraid of Koh Wan Siang.”

“I admire Koh Sun Kwan because Engkoh is virtuous, should Engkoh not meet him when Koh Wan Siang is not there.”

Siaw Cing is like representing the heart of every person who saw the incident between Sun Kwan and the Sweet One today.

“Then, if he is sick and Koh Wan Siang is not around, can I let him?”

“Engkoh can ask a maid there to take care of the Sweet One.”

“I don't want to. I want to take care of the girl, because I care so much about her, I love her.”

“Love it will hurt Engkoh, like a sharp knife.”

“I will endure the pain, the pain of that love.”

According to Siaw Cing, Sun Kwan has changed a lot because of love. Sun Kwan no longer cares about the boundaries of norms, not even caring about himself. What was clear was that it made Siaw Cing very sad.
