Beautiful Affair
BA #26 - Casanova

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked in a hoarse voice, Alira's gaze was so different at the moment, making Ryan's heart tremble.

"I love you...."

Ryan's body stiffened immediately hearing the three words spoken from Alira's lips, even Ryan held his breath, especially when Alira down Ryan's arm.

"As a friend?" Ryan asked finally in a voice that even he himself barely heard, Alira smiled faintly and shook her head.

"As a man," he replied and as Ryan immediately gulped his saliva, he stared fixedly at Alira, wishing for Alira to joke, but the woman's gaze told him otherwise.

"Iira..."

"I know you may not believe me" Alira interrupted quickly and she took her hand off Ryan's, now Alira bowed in shame, but she really felt she had fallen in love with Ryan.

"Maybe you consider me a cheap woman, because after all my status is still Daniel's wife. But I can't lie to my heart, Ryan." Alira looked up, looking at Ryan with such a deep gaze. "I'm in love with you, Ryan" she said with teary eyes. Ryan didn't know what to say, he could only look at Alira's sad face.

"I know this is wrong, this statement of love is also wrong, but I still want to tell you," said Alira again.

"Iira...." Ryan sat down beside Alira, clasped Alira's hand and looked into Alira's eyes. "I'm not that kind of man, I'm not in love" she said, leaving Alira's forehead creaking deeply, not understanding Ryan's intentions.

"And I'm sure, what you feel for me is not love, maybe just comfort, all the women I'm with will be comfortable, because that's how I treat them all and there's no love in my life" Ryan said at length.

"Yeah, more precisely, bedmate," replied Ryan who immediately made Alira's heart like a spear, just now he felt a beautiful love, but now he is just thrown away with this reality.

"You.." said Alira who did not know to say.

"I have to admit, I don't believe in relationships, Alira. What I believe is that only two people's relationships have the need for desire to be ventilated" said Ryan who made Alira more heartbroken, even he shed tears without being prevented.

"Don't cry" said Ryan softly and he wiped Alira's tears with his finger, which made the tears even louder.

"You must think I'm a bad woman, right? Because I expressed love for you," said Alira while looking down deeply and of course Ryan immediately shook his head.

"No, Alira. Absolutely not!" Strictly Ryan. "Everyone can love someone other than their partner, you're not the first person to fall in love with someone else when you're married." Ryan flanked Alira's chin, making her look up.

"After I return to Paris, surely your love is gone" said Ryan confidently but Alira who understands what and how it is love can only smile wryly. "Now sleep! Maybe when you wake up, that feeling of love will go away."

...

Ryan rubbed his wet face in the shower, Alira's words of love kept ringing in his ears, Alira's sad gaze could not get out of his mind.

Ryan did say maybe Alira's love for him will disappear when Ryan returns to Paris, Ryan said that with great confidence earlier, but now? He doubted.
