The Winter Man
#28
Yura walked from the kitchen towards the living room by holding a piece of watermelon in her hands.
He sees Winter busy with his laptop. Yura sat in front of Winter watching her husband by chewing watermelon.
Then Yura took a tissue and placed it on top of her thigh, occasionally she took out the watermelon seeds from her mouth and kept them on top of the tissue.
"This is who makes watermelon seeds like this. It's complicated!" Yura continued to grumble while chewing the watermelon.
Then a servant approached them walking in a hurry. He held a crackle in his hand.
"Miss, your order has come."
Yura. "Finally ..." The girl took his order. "Thank you."
The waiter nodded with a smile then left the living room.
"Would you like to eat now?" ask Yura to Winter.
Winter nodded. He moved his laptop to the table then walked with Yura to the dining table.
When Winter returns from out of town, Oris returns to Maxime's mansion. And as usual, no one was cooking in the Winter mansion. Yura chose to buy it.
When Yura was about to open her food plasticizer, she just remembered that she had not paid for the food delivery.
"Gosh, I forgot I haven't paid the mas, I'm out first."
"Don't!" sergeant Winter.
Yura turned to look at her husband. "Why?"
It was a few seconds until Winter answered.
"It was already paid by the waiter," said Winter referring to the waiter at his mansion who delivered the food to the living room.
"Truly already?" ask Yura to make sure.
Winter nodded.
Actually that was not the reason, Yura bought grilled fish. And Winter knows the seller, who else if not one of Javier's grandpas disguised as a merchant to make sure De Willson's family does not eat carelessly from strangers.
"Oh yasudah ..." Yura pulled out a chair and sat down beside Winter.
With sparkling eyes from hunger the girl immediately opened her food.
"Why is this message?" ask Winter.
"I'm eating grilled fish. You don't like it? want another message?" ask Yura.
"No need," said Winter then scooped his rice onto the plate.
I should've served him a meal, didn't I take him rice, but I'm afraid he's not comfortable with my attitude.
Winter took one fish with a spoon then kept it in Yura's plate.
Yura smiled and directly devoured her food. Winter frowned.
"Why use your hands?"
"It's better to use your hands tau, when I was a child, I ate fish near the beach with my hands," said Yura who a second later the girl was silent when she realized there was something strange.
When do I eat fish near the beach. Why did that sentence suddenly come out of my mouth.
"Yura."
"Huh?" Yura.
"Why?"
"No, it's okay." Yura smiled faintly then continued eating it.
Winter was still staring at the girl in wonder, why Yura had suddenly been silent and daydreaming.
"Let's eat, why see me?" ask Yura.
Winter nods and eats the fish with a spoon and fork while Yura uses her hands.

"Where are you going?" yura asked to see Winter put a shirt that looked like a basketball jersey into the bag.
"Main basketball."
"Where? with who?"
"Summer at school."
Winter came out of the room with a black bag. Yura ran while shouting.
"Winter I'm coming ..."
Yura came down the stairs following Winter's too-fast move.
"Winter is coming."
The girl blocked Winter's steps from the front by stretching out her hands.
"Come huh?"
"It's night."
"It's okay, I want to come. Yes ... Yes ..."
Winter breathed. "Wear the jacket."
"God ..." Yura's smile suddenly flashed. "Wait here, don't go anywhere." Yura went back up to her room to pick up the jacket.
Winter waits for Yura by occasionally staring at the watch on her wrist.
They also walked out of the mansion, again this time they were about to leave on a motorbike.
Yura hugged Winter from behind with her chin stuck to the man's right shoulder. They continued chatting along the way, more precisely Yura who was trying not to create a silent atmosphere between them.
"Winter." Yura's eyes were staring at her husband.
"Hm."
"You still love playing basketball even when you're old."
"I'm not old."
Yura chuckles. "You've been busting, you're old to know. Uh but that was your basketball shirt back in school?"
"Make new."
"Oh .. make new."
"You're just playing basketball with Summer?"
"There's Julian."
"Julian Secretary Summer?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why isn't your secretary invited?"
"He's not Yura's man" Winter said.
"Hehe is too."

Arriving at Ganesha High School, Winter parked his motorcycle in the parking lot. Beside him was Summer's car, the man had arrived first.
Yura got off her motorbike circulating her gaze to the sizable school building.
"This is your school ..."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why is school here?" ask Yura.
"Schooler here first. Come ..."
Winter's way first and Yura follows him from behind. Actually playing basketball does not need to wear basketball shirts because they are not athletes or school children anymore.
It's just that Summer forced Winter to wear a basketball suit.
"HIYURA ..." Julian waved from the field looking at Winter and Yura walking down the school corridor. Yura replied with a wave of hands as well, Summer was seen staring at the girl.
"I change first" said Winter, then walked to the bathroom.
Yura ran towards the field a little, approaching Summer and Julian.
"Hey ..." Yura smiled at the two of them.
"I don't think you're coming, Yura," Julian said.
"I'm curious about Winter school."
Julian nodded then Julian nudged Summer's arm which was staring at Yura without blinking.
"Conscious, Boss. Conscious!" julian whispered.
Summer immediately blinked her eyes and turned her face the other way. Yura raised her eyebrows looking at Summer.
"Why Summer?" ask Yura.
"No" said Summer.
Then the man sat down to put on the shoes, Julian asked Yura.
"Who do you think will win this time?"
"Eum, don't know. I've never seen them basketball before. You reckon?"
"I'm my Boss team, but the one that won was Mr. Winter. Because he never loses."
"What an empty tooth it is" Summer screeched after putting up her two shoes.
"I've also won you forget."
"Yes boss, three times. The rest Mr. Winter won" Julian said.
"Oh yeah, now what's the bet?" ask Julian later.
"What order?" yura asked staring alternately at the two of them.
"Usually, the boss and Mr. Winter before the game have a bet first. Like, if Mr. Winter wins, he'll take one of Summer's boss's belongings. So did Yura."
"Oh ..." Yura.
"How about you bet tonight," said Summer looking at Yura with a flat face.
"Boss!!"
"Huh?" Yura raised one eyebrow not understanding.
Then Summer smiled. "Joking," he said as he rattled Yura's hair.
Winter who was walking towards the field stopped his steps seeing that.
