Beautiful Affair
BA #40 - Let's Play The Game

Daniel looked at Alira who was currently having fun on the sofa while enjoying the television shows that sometimes made him laugh giggling.

Daniel smiled happily at the smile on his dear lips, then he sat down near Alira and placed his head on Alira's lap. Alira was a little surprised, but then she smiled and let Daniel sleep comfortably on her lap.

Daniel pulls Alira's hand, clasping her tightly as if he's afraid of Alira leaving. "Don't sleep first" said Alira when she saw Daniel, who closed his eyes.

"I'm sleepy, honey. Last night I stayed up with Ryan" replied Daniel.

"Who told you to get drunk like that?" Daniel just smiled at his wife's complaint, opened his eyes and looked into Alira's eyes.

"You still care about me a lot, honey. I'm really happy, happy, and I promise I'll make the most of this opportunity." Daniel said at length, leaving Alira speechless. At the same time, Ryan came and joined them.

Seeing Daniel sleeping on Alira's lap makes a fire of jealousy instantly smolder in Ryan's heart but he can't do anything about it. Alira who saw jealousy in Ryan's eyes became misbehaved, on the one hand she held her husband, but on the other hand she knew the loved ones were burning with jealous fire.

"Are you not working today, Ryan?" Daniel asked and Ryan stood up.

"Yes, I'm going to work and I'm probably going home very late" Ryan said. Then he rushed to his room to change his clothes.

"Then, what's our plan today?" Ryan asked Alira.

"I don't know, I just want to be home" Alira answered and Daniel nodded in agreement.

Shortly after Ryan got out of the room and he was tidy, Ryan took his car keys and rushed away after parting ways with Alira and Daniel.

Ryan drove his car to Nick's house, because actually today he doesn't have any job.

When he arrives at Nick's house, Ryan meets Viona there.

"What are you doing here?" Ryan asked confusedly.

"Want to make sure of something," Viona replied with a sad look and Ryan who was looking at it looked even more confused.

Soon Nick arrives from the kitchen with cookies and fresh drinks.

"Wow, what are you doing here?" Ask Nick.

"I'm just tired of not having a job" Ryan replied to a lie that made Nick laugh in mockery.

"A Ryan can get bored too? Aren't you gonna have a million ways to please yourself?" Her eyes immediately got a sharp look from Ryan.

"I already know what happened" continued Viona. "You love Alira?" Ryan immediately looked at Viona with widened pupils, then he turned his gaze to Nick who was enjoying his cookies casually.

"How can you do this, Ryan?" Viona's fizz was inexhaustible. "He's your own brother-in-law, your brother's wife. I really didn't expect you to stab Daniel in the back" said Alira, who offended Ryan.

Ryan immediately stood up and looked at Viona sharply. "You don't know anything, so watch your talk!" Ryan's fuming is angry.

"I saw you come out of the same locker room as Alira yesterday, Ryan," Viona said.

While Nick who saw the tension between the two people could only gawk, he did not know what to do so he could only be a spectator.

"I only care about you, Ryan," Viona said in a trembling voice. "I don't want you to get in trouble or make a fatal mistake like this" he continued, which made Ryan sigh heavily.

"It's my business, you don't care about me" Ryan said, then he left Nick's house upset, leaving Nick who could gawk as well as Viona who could only cry staring at Ryan's departure.

"I'm here, Ryan. I love you and I don't belong to anyone because I'm asking you to have me, but why should Alira?" lirih Viona who saw Ryan go further away.

...

Today was so cloudy and soon the rain came down, realizing it, Ryan was back to Friday afternoon.

While at home, Daniel planned to make dinner for him and his wife, but before that, he prepared a drink first and put something in it with a smile.

After that, Daniel brought the drink to Alira who was currently reading a book.

"You thirsty?" Daniel asked but Alira shook her head while continuing to focus on her book.

"Well, if you're thirsty, just drink this." Daniel put the drink on the table.

"Thank you" Alira said with a smile.

"Together, dear," replied Daniel. "I'm going to prepare dinner for us, you want to help me cook?" Daniel asked who was immediately answered nodding by Alira.

After putting down her book, Alira immediately follows Daniel into the kitchen to cook. But after opening the refrigerator, there are only a few ingredients there.

"We cook just the way we are" said Alira but it seems Daniel did not agree.

"I'll go shopping for a while" Daniel said.

"It looks like it's going to rain, Daniel. We cook only," said Alira but Daniel refused to listen.

"Just for a minute, honey," said Daniel and Alira could not prevent it.

Daniel leaves with one of Ryan's cars, while Alira returns to the couch, reading a book while Daniel is home. When she was thirsty, Alira took the drink Daniel had prepared and she drank it.

But not long after, Alira felt something unusual. Alira fanned the book to her neck and chest as she suddenly felt the heat.

Even Alira's body started to sweat, she was confused and felt her whole body getting hotter.

"God! Did he poison me." muttered Alira anxiously because she believed this was because of Daniel's drink.

"But.." Alira's breath hunted, her whole body felt an unusual sensation. "Yes God! What's going on?"
