The Devil's Touch
#126
Tessa just sat on her bedroom couch holding a glass of water that she brought from the kitchen. He sighed heavily, seeing Maxime's togetherness with Milan in the kitchen was enough to realize Tessa that her foster sister was happier with Milan.
It can be seen from how Maxime looked at Milan, talking to the girl, the way Maxime smiled at Milan. It was all very clearly different, Maxime seemed to completely change from a cold man to a carefree man when with Milan.
Tessa is unlikely to snatch Maxime from Milan, Tessa and Miwa are dictated by three mothers from childhood. Sky, Kara, Liana, they forbid Tessa and Miwa to be the third person in someone else's relationship.
Same with his three fathers. Javier, Secretary of Han and Thomas who always said the female male usurper of other people is despicable and dirty.
"Taking another woman's man is much dirtier than stabbing someone right in the heart."
It was Javier's words that Tessa always remembered. As a result, Tessa can only keep everything quiet, sometimes her dislike attitude to Milan is clearly visible.But she can also pretend to be friendly to the girl.
"You're Tessa's loser" Tessa murmured to herself, smiling.
He just thought, why before Milan came he did not try to tell his feelings towards Maxime. Why he had to hold until the second that Milan got into Maxime's life.
But on the other hand Tessa is too afraid to admit her feelings, because of Maxime's ban that says among the four of them no one should have feelings for each other. Tessa herself is unaware of Arsen and Miwa's relationship right now.
He kept a glass on the table, took a book in a drawer, and sat on the bed with his back to the head.
He slowly opened the book, in addition to love to paint he also likes to read. A novel or book of words that he thinks is good.
There is a quote in the book.
There is nothing in vain in loving, even if you have to be heartbroken it can be a bridge for you to meet the right person.
Tessa opens the next chapter in the book.
Loving someone else's property is like holding a knife. You'll get hurt if you don't let go.
Tessa let out a heavy sigh, this was how she felt. Her knife-like heart deepens when she's not with Maxime. Having to let go, Tessa is still a little hesitant.
Tessa closed her coarse eyes with a heart that was hunting down and finally tears came out of the corner of her eye.
And at that moment, her memories with Maxime of a small swirling in her head.
"Tessaa .. would you like a bath?"
"Tessa beautiful ..."
"Tessa let's play Gloly's baleng ..."
"Tessa gabby pelgi ..."
"Tessa later bobo baleng me yeah ..."
"Tessa here hugs ..."
"Tessa's my sister, isn't she Mommy?"
Tessa shook her head with both hands covering her ears, Maxime's voice as a child kept ringing in her head.
All the memories don't make Tessa any better but it hurts the more she thinks she's not with Maxime.
Now, that voice turns into a shadow where Maxime when a teenager always protects her from people who want to bully her at school.
"Dare to touch Tessa, die you!!"
"Don't stay away from me. I won't let anyone dare touch you again."
"Tessa eats a lot of salad, don't eat spicy stuff."
"Yuk shrimp cook?"
"You're the best sister ..."
The pain spilled tonight, coming out with a pretty painful cry. It's okay, at least he will feel relieved after crying.
Tessa lifted her legs up on the bed, hugging her own body while looking at a photo of herself and Maxime on the front wall of her bed. Her cries did not stop, instead getting stronger looking at Maxime's photo.
All the photos were taken off violently, just destroyed, thrown at random until all the figurines broke into small shards.
"Aaaaarrr!!!"

He screamed and cried at the same time, incessantly reaching there, he entered a small room in his room. The storage of the paintings he made.
In that room he destroyed all of Maxime's face paintings. For years he waited, for years he kept. The result was not as he expected, he had to release Maxime. The man who made him not want to know other men in his life.
The quote is true, now it's like being stabbed by thousands of knives. Painful.
He had to take off all the knives. Soon, or it'll make him even more hurt. But before that happens Tessa wants to let out her anger and sadness first.
He was angry and crying as a form of closure from him that would release Maxime for Milan. The woman fell to her feet on the floor crying.
The door of his room suddenly opened, Maxime rounded his eyes when he saw many shattered figura fragments.
"Tessa ..." murmured her. Seeing that the small room was open he went in and found Tessa crying around the ruined painting.
Tessa looked up when she saw someone's feet nearby. Instantly he widened his eyes seeing Maxime standing in front of him.
Maxime's eyes were incessantly staring at every ruined painting, all the paintings were his face.
"Sir Maxi .." - Tessa tried to stand up in panic when she saw Maxime staring at her paintings one by one.
Although it was destroyed Maxime can still see clearly in the painting is his face. And there's a painting with writing underneath.
My Love's. I love you.
Maxime widened his eyes, staring meaningfully at Tessa in front of him.
Tessa wiped her tears and looked down, what should she do now. Maxime already knows.
Miwa, Milan and Arsen enter Tessa's room. They also heard the sound of objects breaking in Tessa's room, which is why they ran to Tessa's room in a hurry.
Tessa's legs trembled instantly, her body as if limp. The panic pounding his body was so strong, Maxime had already seen the painting. What should he do now, how did he explain to Maxime.
Tessa also fell, fortunately Maxime swiftly caught her body. Tessa looks so limp.
Miwa, Arsen and Milan approached the room. They could clearly see one large, slightly shattered painting with the writing underneath.
My Love's. I love you.
Miwa shuts her mouth in shock, Tessa loves Maxime. Didn't he see wrong about the painting.
Likewise with Milan who continue to stare at the painting is full of meaning. Is this the reason Tessa is sometimes unfriendly to him.
Arsen was quite surprised, but his expression remained flat.
Maxime who was hugging Tessa's body, turned to Miwa and Arsen and shook his head. They understood what Maxime meant, they were asked to leave the room.
Last Maxime looked at Milan meaningfully, a little unpleasant asking Milan out but Miwa immediately pulled the girl's arm.
"Come Milan, we go ..."
Milan nodded slowly, before actually leaving he had time to look back. Maxime looked at him with a faint smile to calm Milan's feelings.
After everything came out, Maxime lifted Tessa's body and carried her to the bed.
