After eating Daru sat pensively on his bed, while Imah wiped the dishes and glasses he had just washed.
"Have a night of sleep, hopefully tomorrow you can go home. I have to go back to real life, not just take care of you." Saying Imah without turning his head, Daru looked at the girl who was sitting in a sideways position from her direction.
"If you want to go home, wait for me to be really healthy first. I'll treat you to a steamed yam and your favorite patio." Reply Daru gave an offer. Somehow he felt comfortable with the carelessness of Faith in him, it felt like being cared for sincerely but in a different form. Not that at the same time Alisya was not noticed, only, Alisya who was too free himself to do whatever he liked without ever even the girl protested. Though he wanted to occasionally Alisya forbid this and that, that way he could know, what his lover did not like.
"In the back garden of my house there are also many canaan yam, umi can cook it for me and I can make sambal terasi myself without having to buy. Do not get too used to eating food outside, sometimes it tastes much better, but still the home menu even though simple, can make you full and certainly healthy." Advice Imah wise, without knowing if his words accidentally have touched the small heart of Handaru.
Daru is insinuated by the phrase Imah, in a different version. He who likes to snack with other women who are even tasted by others.
Daru cleared his throat to dispel his tightness. "What did you go to college for?" tanya Daru switched the conversation.
"Surgeon. So be careful with me, you could dissect your stomach and sell your kidneys and heart later if I'm upset." Say it right away.
"Basic of psychopathic candidates." Daru murmured which was still clearly heard by Imah.
"Quick sleep, question and answer session is over." Tell Mama like a mother reigns over her child.
"Yes, you chatty bottom" Daru re-tidied his body, pulling the blanket up to the limit of his neck. Imah also began to lay down her tired body, but turned her back to Daru. Daru scowled angrily, he still wanted to get the fierce girl to talk. Of course it will be difficult to see the girl again if she has been out of the hospital, therefore, she wants to make good use of their togetherness. As well as strengthening his heart to really recover and let go of Alisya.
Daru's eyes began to heavy, in the face of Imah's back that looks regular. It means that the girl has slept well. His feet slowly went down the bed to the bed. He stared at the adorable oval face of Imah, still very young, and he was a little insecure. Remember if Keenan was almost his age. But the girl's fierce charm, has stolen his attention.
"You were able to steal my attention so easily, even gradually healing the wounds I made myself without me noticing. If God were still kind to a sinful man like me to re-knit love, I would want you to fill a new leaf in my heart later." Daru crouched down, stroking Imah's round cheeks that did not match the shape of his oval face.
"Good night, my chatty girl. Beautiful dream" out of nowhere, Daru kissed Imah's forehead. A strange screen slipped into her heart, as her lips touched the girl's forehead. Like there is a feeling like a person who is in love. Stared at her once again peaceful face Imah, truly a special little girl in her inner being smiled gently.
Daru returned to his bed, all night his eyes hard closed. His body continued to be tilted towards the bed Imah, unwilling to take his eyes off the girl for a moment.
"Ahkk. can go crazy if this continues.." he wrote to himself.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Dear morning" said Mike when he saw his girlfriend approaching him.
"I'm sorry, I woke up late again." Alisya then hugged Mike from behind. Her work at the boutique really took a lot of her time, it has been three days of her self home in the early hours. He began to think, maybe because of his busyness first, making Daru turn away from him. Instantly fear seeped into his heart, if only Mike began to give up on him.
Mike turned around, then raised Alisya's chin "it's okay baby, I don't matter. I'm just afraid you're getting sick from being too exhausted, that's all. Pay attention to your food, do not just fill your stomach if hungry. You could get magh" advises Mike sage.
"I'll quit the boutique and leave it all to Prita (her assistant). I want to focus on being your only wife and a good mother and having plenty of time with family. Don't you mind if I get unemployed "sobbing Alisya, Mike chuckles softly.
"My money belongs to you, your money belongs to you and our children. Don't worry about anything, even if it's not big, my salary is enough to occasionally buy bags or branded shoes for you." Mike's clumsiness made the two laugh crisply.
"Imah had chat, if Daru had realized. Today we're going to see her, how ?" mike looked at his girlfriend.
"Come, try calling. What does he want to bring, the boy is small but very strong snack." Kekeh Alisya remembered his niece.
"He's in a period of growth baby, let it go. He's not even 19 yet, so it doesn't matter. Anyway I see, both of her overprotective parents, always stuffing their daughter's stomach with various foods without a care for her daughter could have turned into a hot air balloon." mike recalled how Keenan came to the hospital every day to deliver food to his daughter.
He saluted the two, able to share affection equally. Although Imah was adopted in adolescence, but their closeness is like a child and biological parents.
"You're right baby, it's because Arumi's sister feels happy, finally her cooking is spent. Elsye's been very careful with her diet, just look at your daughter's body, check it out." Tukas Alisya recalled one of his nephews who feared a change in his body.
"Of course, I love everyone, so is the same. The girl quickly took the hearts of many people including both my parents." said Alisya.
"Yes, she has her own magnet.I hope Daru is bewitched by her, and soon can move on completely from you." Seloroh Mike tidied Alisya's hair.
"And it can be ascertained, how troublesome Daru face the protective attitude of Keenan. It will not be easy for sure" continued Alisya laughing amusedly, he has made peace with his heart. It felt to Daru as nothing more than pity, they had known him for many years. Naturally, if the pity is always there.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Keenan continued to stare fully in search of Daru, making it difficult for the man to chew his food properly'.
"Bi? abi?" tegur Imah saw the unusual gaze of the father or his patient.
"Eh? yes baby? is it finished yet? Abi wants to go to the office first, the door is not closed. Afraid of a hungry lion pouncing on the abi later" Keenan said making Daru choke, Imah who will approach restrained by the father's order.
"Leave it, it's great why his eating is not careful. No shame in age" Keenan ketus. It was very desirable Daru threw his plate towards Keenan, but considering if the man was a candidate for his future in-laws later. So that intention he broke.
"Morning? loh Ken ? haven't gone to the office,?" Alisya stared at the wall clock that had shown at 8 o'clock.
"It's just about to go, please take care of my daughter. I'm afraid that some ferocious lion is eating my innocent daughter" Keenan said glancing cynically at Daru who was still bowing and stirring up the contents of his plate. Her appetite was gone because of Keenan's bon chili mouth.
"Ready, go gih" Alisya said to his friend.
"Imah, abis is leaving first. No need to bother taking care of it, later abi told mama Keyra, to let you go home today." Said Keenan managed to make Daru's head raised perfectly, and otu was seen by Alisya and Mike. The two smiled meaningfully at Daru's unacceptable reaction.
"Yes bi, Imah also has a lot of tasks that accumulate." Saying according to. After Keenan's departure, Alisya and Mike approach Daru's bed. But the focus of the man was still on Imah, until he did not realize that there were two humans staring at him since then.
"Khemmmm..." Mike cleared his throat to wake Daru from his daydream. Daru looked wrongly at the two couples.
"How are you doing?" ask Alisya kindly. Daru momentarily fell silent, he gave a digest to his heart situation. No more vibes there, fix. If the charm of Ema has healed his heart.
"good. Thank you for helping me and taking care of me." But the tail of his eyes glanced towards Imah who was sitting on the sofa eating his snacks.
"We should help, right ? is my niece taking good care of you ?" tanya Alisya distracts Daru from his nephew.
"Of course, she takes good care of me as well as my heart" Daru said involuntarily, her lips smiling gently towards the girl. Alisya relieved and pity, pity because Daru's struggle will not be as smooth as a toll to get his nephew.
"Eh, that was. I mean, he took good care of me and the wound on my hand" Daru said nervously, Mike patting Daru on the shoulder slowly.
"Just calm down, we're not Keenan. You're safe to praise my niece without being heard by her father." While Mike melted the atmosphere, the two laughed like two best friends.
"He is unique, simple and different. Too bad, I was too bad and did not know that I liked him." murmured Daru smiled.
"Every human being must have done something wrong, you don't know if a man like me is an ex-convict." Mike's voice sounded soft. Daru gasped, not believing what he was hearing.
"So, happy fighting. Make sure not to waste what you already have. Maintaining that's the hardest part than getting. Trust me, I'm every day worried if my woman turns to the perfect guy out there. It felt really excruciating" Mike subconsciously poured out his heart.
Daru digests Mike's meaningless sentence well, right, maintaining it is much harder than trying to get. In the face of the girl who was chatting with Alisya, her smile rose as bright as the morning sun. He will fight the girl even though the challenge is not easy. He is 33 years old, too far away. But what's wrong trying, he hopes Imah has not had another prospective tether. It'll be easier to fight for the girl later.
