MELODY LOVE DEA AND MARVEL
ONLY IN A TOWEL (POV AUTHOR)

The situation outside the house that was already pitch dark signaled the night was getting late, Dea who was busy with her schoolwork now chose to lie down next to her grandmother.

After dinner Dea decided to do her schoolwork with Marvel's help of course. But somehow Marvel was so sleepy in the house of Dea that he decided to lie down and shortly after he fell asleep.

Nek Diah had been sound asleep since then, while Marvel had just fallen asleep after being unable to resist the drowsiness that attacked him.

As Dea would always pray while going to sleep, she was always grateful for whatever happened to her today. When praying like this, Dea sometimes shed tears, he was always weak when he complained to his Lord.

Almost every night in every prayer he always cried, he always asked that he could feel the affection of his mother even if only for a second.

Dea did not realize that since then Marvel has continued to pay attention to him, even all the words he said in his prayers were heard by Marvel. Marvel's chest felt claustrophobic considering every word Dea said in his prayer, he even shed tears especially when he saw Dea crying.

'I know you're strong baby, but I can't be strong if I see your tears' Inner Marvel sees Dea smiling while hugging her grandmother and closing her eyes slowly.

Upon seeing Dea fall asleep, Marvel woke up and stared at Dea. He wanted to hug Dea as he cried, but he didn't want Dea to know he heard her prayers.

''I will try to make you happy baby, I will make your days feel fun and full of laughter so you can forget all the tightness in your chest''

After looking at Dea, he finally went back to sleep. Dea was between Marvel and Nek Diah, the distance between them while sleeping was about one and a half meters.

Dea woke up at about 03:45 a.m., he then headed to the kitchen to make their breakfast menu today. While cooking rice, Dea also cleans kale vegetables that he will stir-fry later.

''Dear morning'' said Marvel who is now beside him.

''For sir, your koq is awake?''

''Yes, I opened my eyes, eh you are not there so I looked here''

''I always wake up at this hour sir, you sleep again only at 4''

''I'm not sleepy, I want to accompany you here'' said Marvel sitting himself right next to Dea. Now there is no more distance between the two, making the heart of Marvel and Dea beat very fast, as if to jump from its place.

''Yes I've already brought you a drink sir'' said Dea passed by pouring a warm drink for Marvel.

''Thank you dear'' said Marvel received a glass that was thrust Dea.

He helps Dea keep the fire stable so that the rice is not raw or charred, Dea itself is busy with vegetables kankung and broccoli that he sauteed.

Dea and Marvel did not realize that from earlier grandmother continued to pay attention to both, Grandma Diah felt so happy to see Marvel treating her grandson so well.

'May you be a fool, dear, happy grandmother Marvel treat you so courteously, grandma hope this is not at the beginning but until death separates you' dutiful prayer Diah in heart.

''Bagi nak'' said the grandmother approached the two who had finished with their activities in the kitchen.

''For nek'' said Dea and Marvel together.

Dea got up from her seat and poured a glass of warm drink for grandma.

''Drink the nek''

''It's been cooked yet De?'' Marvel asked to see the pot containing rice was already puffing smoke.

Dea walked over to Marvel and checked the rice that turned out to be ripe.

''Have sir, same grandmother sir Marvel wait at the place to eat only later Dea bring it there''

Dea started scooping rice from the pot into the bowl, Marvel himself helped prepare the dishes and his friends.

Once ready they enjoy breakfast which for Marvel may still be too early for breakfast, but for Dea and grandma it is customary. How not to wonder they have breakfast when the clock is still at 5 am.

After bathing and dressing he looked for Dea but did not find it he finally decided to ask grandma.

''What's up, son?''

''Did grandma see Dea?''

''Usually after breakfast Dea is in the garden behind son, again nybut vegetables made in sale''

''I went to where Dea used to be nek''

''Yes nak''

Marvel headed to the back door of Dea's house, when he opened it, it appeared that Dea was busy tying up the vegetables he had just pulled out. Marvel noticed Dea's tiny hands painstakingly arranging and tying vegetables while occasionally singing cheerfully.

Marvel's heart was so calm seeing what Dea was doing, he felt so lucky to have Dea.

''Sir'' called Dea for the umpteenth time because Mavel did not hear her call.

''Eh, yes dear what dear?''

''Father why daydream early in the morning'' Dea said with her hands holding a basket full of vegetables.

''Nothing, I was just looking around this garden'' said Marvel and only answered by Dea with a mouth that formed the letter O.

''I deliver vegetables first to the stall yes sir'' said Dea.

''I-iya'' said Marvel.

Dea immediately arranged the vegetables he brought and then turned off the stall lights.

''It's finished De?'' Grandma approached Dea.

''He is''

''Yes, you take a shower, Mr. Marvel is neat''

''Yes nek''

Dea went into the house and passed to the bathroom to take a shower, he forgot that in this house there is Marvel so he did not bring a change of clothes to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Dea, wrapped in a towel, walked casually into her room and made Marvel, who was sitting at the study table, stare at Dea unblinking. As he was about to grab the school shirt from his closet Dea regained consciousness after seeing the reflection of Marvel in the mirror in the wardrobe.

''Aaa.'' Dea shouted before Marvel shut her mouth.

''Don't shout later if I think I'm doing you'' said Marvel and nod by Dea who was busy covering his chest.

''I go out first, you wear clothes. Today we are together to school again yes, you want to walk or ride a motorcycle?''

''By father'' said Dea with flushed cheeks.

''How the hell are you De, koq can forget that at home there is a pack of Marvel? Fortunately he did not say anything about you'' Dea grunts that Marvel could hear from behind the door.

Marvel smiles at Dea's grumbling speech in her room, though she is still surprised to see Dea's appearance but she tries to control herself so as not to do bad things to Dea.

''Almost I can not control myself, because seeing the appearance of Dea earlier'' said Marvel sitting on a chair while sipping a glass of water to the toilet. He tried to normalize his heartbeat which returned to pumping very quickly, even wild thoughts had perched in his mind when he saw Dea enter the room using only a towel.

However, Marvel remained a grown man, but he soon came out of Dea's room because he didn't want to see Dea for too long.
