Furious with Wildan. Joking is okay, but you know the rules. Not only because of his status which is indeed Fay's cousin's sister, but all there are limitations that must be understood. If the group is still a new friend. Of course understandable, but they are old friends who incidentally know family more intensely.
One warning is enough. If there is repetition, then the one speaking the hand. Not that it likes violence, just that humans have to keep the mouth because the tongue is boneless. If it is not able, it is better to be silent and do not break through the borders of humanity.
Not wanting to add emotion. Nau got out of his seat and went to Fay's desk. He understood the silence of the older cousin was holding back so that the condition remained calm. This is what the house person is worried about. Where outsiders can misunderstand the closeness of the two of them.
Not only today, but the day that has passed is like that. A glimpse of memory approaching. Memories from a few months ago. The sound that echoes changes the atmosphere of a quiet and comfortable home to be gripping. The handsome young man who looked like Cha Eun Woo came with a baseless fury.
"Aureli!" Call the young man impolitely, making everyone gathered in the living room run out to see the uninvited guest.
Fay walked over to Kalingga, "Lingga, are you here? Not still out of town, yeah."
"Stop! Don't come near me anymore." The young man's hand raised stopped Fay's steps leaving only four steps to approach him, "I thought, you do love me, but secretly played with another young man. Don't you have any shame?"
Everyone was shocked by Kalingga's statement. Which other young man? Their relationship, which had only been running for two years, was suddenly filled with a jumble of questions in doubt. Is it not wrong? Fay tries to clear his mind, but still does not understand the meaning of the lover.
Seeing Fay silent with a peeking gaze, Kalingga took her phone. Then play the inanimate object for a moment, then show what the reason for coming home in a state of wrath. Where the Fay family fell silent and waited for their daughter's reaction.
A photo where he and Nau were enjoying a meal in a blue tent stall. As bad as his memory. Will not forget the events that are indeed the warmth of his family. He remembered the photo was taken one week ago, but what did Kalingga mean by showing it?
"The wrong person must be diem." Kalingga reinserted his phone, a red face extinguished with a hand pointing towards Fay. "If you love each other, why would you accept me as a girlfriend? Make it an impingement or just make a backup. I ....,"
A touch of the hand that no longer survives. Finally it fell in a sense of heat flowing stopping the senseless voice. Kalingga fell silent as he felt his trembling cheeks. A sharp look greeted him. For the first time, he saw the wrath of the lover.
"I thought you were different. It looks the same." A long sigh in the hope of returning to calm, even though his heart struggled in solitude. "Naufal Bramantyo, my cousin's sister! Ok, you consider him my affair. Up to you, but from this second we break up."
Be firm without any doubt. Kalingga was no longer able to speak. His arrival warns Fay to stay away from Naufal, but his relationship soon runs aground with no hope left. The slap that was quite painful changed helplessness.
His heart was pinched with regret, but Fay immediately turned around leaving the living room. While the family can do nothing more. All the faults of the young man himself. Why decide to question a relationship that clearly has its place.
"Noe? Are you okay." Fay flicked his fingers in front of the cousin's face, returning the young man's consciousness that immediately shook his head. "Your food's cold. Nau, do I have to remember the past? Eat up!"
Unexpectedly, the daydream was long enough. That's right Fay said. Why remember the past that clearly cannot be changed. It is not about that that disturbs his heart and mind. As a man and a brother. When will it be a barrier to his cousin's relationship?
Without delaying any longer, Nau began to bribe his food. Though the mind and heart become more and more unsettled. Somehow all the shadows of the past come to remind him of the responsibility that is now on his shoulders. May Fay be paired with Fatur. The hope turned into a dim light.
An hour later, everyone was back in their cars. However, Nau did not focus on driving until he asked Satya to replace him, while he sat in the seat that had previously been Fay's place. Let the two girls sit together in the back.
The journey resumed, but there was only silence. Satya who was focused on driving, Nau was busy staring out the window, Widya who stayed in front of the floor to confirm everything, and Fay who leaned back to rest for a moment.
...What is the meaning of love? When it's just about selfishness....
...Man chooses, but God sets....
...Love is not about rights, it is about acceptance....
...Sincerity in the waiting. Patience in unequality....
Leaving silence between long breaths. Amidst the calmness suddenly became a stir. The atmosphere created only because of the actions of two men who are busy arguing trivial things and end up disturbing the peace that is needed to be shy. He grabbed the couch cushion, then threw it to stop the commotion.
"You guys, it's noisy!" Tukas Asma let go of the earphones, then put it to the side of his phone that was still on. "Now who wants responsibility? I'm tired of sniffing, but because of all of you my fantasies of running away."
The two men faced each other. Not because of Asthma's keto voice, but they feel speechless with the way the girl nags. Girls who usually speak raw, even more than a businessman, and this afternoon actually experienced a change in speech style. Are they not dreaming.
Seeing the two men in front of him looked at each other, then looked at him strangely. Sontak Asma checked her appearance. There's nothing wrong. So why do Rey and Bagas look in the eye like that? Moreover not blinking, really strange.
"Hello! What's wrong with you guys?" Waving hands hoping to spread the still-patched eyes toward him, but Rey took a sofa cushion that fell to her left side.
Her husband cupped both hands to her face while pinning a sofa pillow. "Butterfly, try repeating again. Talk like just now."
Immediately Asthma is aware of the situation. Apparently the two men in front of him were a little shrewd just because of his relaxed language. "About? What will I get?"
"Come on, don't start getting serious again. Why not talk normally?" Sahut Bagas who wants the atmosphere of the house warmer and looks like a real family, making Asma smile thinly with a fleeting idea of shadow.
Soft fur carpet that greets the soles of the feet, making Asthma choose to stop. Then sit down to be in line with the others. The gaze of the eyes that looked down with a flimsy smile. He knows that Rey and Bagas are not cold men. It's just that the two men are used to being flat.
Although like that, there are times when behaving like a normal human with jokes and laughter that can warm togetherness. No matter what, the three of them are now a family. When will we talk to each other in formal language? That's not the core of the problem.
Is not the bond established without coercion? Likewise with communication that will get better as time goes on. They just need time to get used to understanding each other, and eliminate the awkwardness that is still busy sprinkling powder of doubt.
"So?" Asma looked up at Rey, then turned to look at Bagas, then again lowered her gaze. "What should I do? If you want to talk casually, why just me? What about you two. Is it just being a listener?"
Instantly Bagas realized, it was also true that Asma said. "Not so, we'll go with the buzz. Isn't that right, Rey?" Bagas hurriedly gave certainty, despite having to ask for the approval of his best friend who turned out to be busy looking at his wife in plain sight.
Seeing Rey's absurd behavior, no doubt his hands raised nudged the arm of the friend. Unfortunately it remained ignored, making Asma hold back a smile, while her foster sister shook her head in an inexhaustible manner. The situation is increasingly ambiguous until the sound of footsteps approaching.
It turned out that Bi Jia came with a tray of fresh drinks and fruit snacks with fresh yogurt, "Please enjoy, Mister, Miss." Put the tray on the table, then give one by one the dewy bowl.
"Thank you, Bi Jia." Asma received the bowl, then tried to taste the afternoon snack. Sweet fit with a soothing cold sensation. "Oh yes, Bi. Is the guest room ready?"
"Living room?" asked Rey and Bagas simultaneously, making Bi Jia stunned, but Asma did not want to give any explanation because she was waiting for an answer from the aunt.
The mood with vacillating circumstances changed randomly. Not changing the busyness of Asthma bribing food into his mouth. The best way to avoid questions is to leave without caring. Moreover, the nod of Bi Jia's head had already become her calmness.
The middle-aged woman rushed to retreat in order to be free from the dimension of awkwardness that existed between her three masters. How not to get tense? Rey with a peeking gaze, while Bagas with a bent face waited for Asthma's explanation. Looks like, young lady likes horror shades.
"Didn't you guys want a snack?" ask Asma to bribe the last fruit from her bowl, "If not, just for me."
"Butterfly!" call Rey to hold her voice as much as possible to stay calm.
Instead of being afraid of a heavy voice with a piercing sharp gaze. Asthma actually put the bowl to the right side of her seat, then took the phone that had been ignored. Then handed the inanimate object to Rey who hit the question gaze without blinking.
"Whatsapp, Fay's contact name with the sun emot behind him. Just check, but give me another bowl of snacks." explained Asma without joking, making Bagas immediately pat his own eel.
That one girl, is completely unpredictable. Is there a safe secret? If you complain to him. For the sake of a bowl of snacks, the phone has been handed over. Wanted to wonder, but it seems so. While Rey immediately smiled at Asthma's behavior that was always there.
Like a deal without shaking hands. Asma gets another snack that is Rey's ration, while Rey herself checks like a clue that has been given by his wife. So many messages pop up when opening whatsapp messaging app. Never mind to look for a name, the screen kept flashing not wanting to stop.
The bagas sitting next to Rey even gawked with hundreds to thousands of incoming chats. "Asma, how many friends are on your phone?"
"If you want, just check it out. Three hours is enough to see the contents of each group, and so on." replied Asthma origin, but still take into account the estimated time that can indeed be spent to see all the crowds of the online world.
The phone, the cheapest price. However, it makes the head shake. It can be seen Rey just pensively waiting for the entire message to come in so that she can scroll down and look for one name that will be the answer to her question. All messages no longer appear. Suddenly, Asma took her phone back.
"Hey, why was taken ...," Bagas protested, but arrested Rey to remain silent, while Asma simply changed the settings, then returned the phone to her husband.
"Before opening the application. It's good to ask, you spend at least three minutes just waiting for all the messages to come in." The subtle innuendo that brings the two friends' eyes to each other. "Welcome to check, I'm full. Excuse me back to the room."
Asthma who got up from the seat, made Bagas think for a moment. Does the girl have secrets? Mobile phones are privacy, but casually give the inanimate object to both of them. Moreover, Rey can open the phone because she memorized the password. There is always a new question mark. His name is also human.
Irrigation of footsteps away accompanied by examination of the phone that is always silent mode. It turned out that Astma used a special number for her family and those closest to her, and in that number only one, or two messages came in. It's worth it that they get spicy insinuations.
Message history between Asthma and Fay about a few hours ago. From the content of the message explained that the two will have a meeting for the first time, but the question is Fay this girl or boy? Although from the clear message of girls. What if the meeting turns into a guy?
"Rey, does Asma want her online friend to stay here?" Bagas asked while trying to digest the contents of the message that was still in front of his eyes. "Try talking to your wife. Not everyone has a good heart and mind. Let no one deceive him."
"I'll talk to Asma." Rey answered up from her seat, believing in her, but Bagas was right. "Nando, they're on their way. Send Pedro to do the check!"
Without having to answer. Bagas immediately snatched his phone, then sent a short message to his men. For some reason something suddenly flashed into his mind. Rey's footsteps grew further away, leaving alone.
"What was the name of the app?" he muttered trying to remember the contents of his adoptive sister's phone, until at a glance the idea of providing a solution without being asked. Jemari was busy dancing on the keys, typing a few letters, then pressing the search icon. "Go see you, just try to donwload."
🍃See you next year's, January 😇
