A Handful of Love for You
49. Recognition

Atep POV

“Surely know his heart Lena?” manya curious.

“As a fellow woman, at least Teteh know how Lena feels with you.”

“What's up, Tea?” I leaned my body forward in order to listen to the explanation of Iyah Tea.

“Heh..don't get near the same wife person. You want me to make it battered, huh?” A Endra pulled my collar from behind.

Teh Iyah laughed at her husband's words while I had to hold the knot because my camera collar became tangled as a result of being forcefully pulled.

“Si Aa is a god-level jealousy. Same sister alone envied.”

“Not a blood sister. You are not forbidden to marry. Who knows if I didn't come on time, this boy proposed to you to be his wife.”

Well, nah right. This guy is dangerous. Although his words often make people hurt but often according to the facts as well. Don't let my feelings for Teh Iyah be exposed. I may fail to get her sister.

“Iiiih if you like origin deh.” Iyah's tea hit her husband's arm.

“So how, Tea?” I'm still curious about Lena's heart.

“How about anyway?” tanya Iyah seemed to have forgotten that she was going to tell me about Lena's heart.

“That's how does Lena feel about Atep?”

“Ohhh...You want to know or want to know?” goda Teh Iyah while winking.

“Not to flirt. Later he kegeeran” said A Endra sharply while pointing at me with his chin.

Feeling A Endra is sharp. He could tell that I once loved Teh Iyah. This gawat….

“What siiih? Aa machine deh.” Iyah's tea pinched both of her husband's cheeks.

Cih.basik couple bucin. I grumbled in my heart.

“Teh, so no?” I'm just impatient.

"Don't snap at anyone's wife! Want me to punch, huh?"

Teh Iyah chuckled at the terrified look on my face that must have been clearly visible because of her husband's snapping.

"Don't be so fierce with a sister-in-law, A."

"I'm not polite sister-in-law. Dare to sleep together. Which other sister-in-law candidates taught your sister?"

"Eh, who's sleeping together? I don't..."

“So gini, Tep. That woman is good at covering up the real heart." Iyah tea cut my words and did not heed the grunts of A Endra.

I nodded enthusiastically at the explanation of Teh Iyah.

"If according to Teteh, Lena has the same attention as you. The proof, he often told stories about his students who cheeky. Well the student who cheated it was you. Often we tease Lena if she might like the same student who cheesed it. Until here you know?” ask Teh Iyah.

I shook my head in an incomprehensible sign. I also saw A Endra shaking his head. It seemed that he also did not understand what his wife was explaining.

“Women are indeed very unique creatures. I don't understand the explanation of my own wife.” A Endra shook his head.

I chuckled at the absurd behavior of this married couple in front of me.

“Aa..” sulap Teh Iyah spoiled.

“Try explaining again, dear. Let us understand.”

“Basically you guys are slow and insensitive. Therefore we, women are often irritated because of your actions.” grumbled Teh Iyah.

Me and A Endra exchanged looks.

“Nih, Teteh you know. Listen carefully. The woman likes to cover up what is real. If he says he doesn't like it, he actually likes it. So if Lena says she doesn't like you, then she likes you. The evidence is very clear.”

“Proof what?” tanyaku and A compact Endra.

“Evidence that you've got the attention of Lena. Do you remember how Lena told me about her student?” ask Teh Iyah to her husband.

“Students who pissed him off?” ask A Endra to insinuate me.

“Yes, annoying student. But that's why Lena keeps the same mind at Atep. Well, because it is often thought so like deh.”

“Cai Ai Aa. That's a special theory for women. Only we understand that theory.”

I saw Kagendra shaking his head at the theory stated by Teh Iyah.

“Aa don't believe me?” snarled Tea Iyah angry.

“Believe darling. Strongly believe.”

“Good! So don't worry, Tep. I'm sure Lena likes you too. Only he still has the prestige to admit that he likes you too. Now Teteh asks you. Are you sure you want to marry Lena?”

I looked towards A Endra and he nodded his support sign.

“Yakin, Tea!” I replied with increased confidence due to the support of A Endra.

“That's all that matters. You have to be sure first. You also do not feel inferior when dealing with Lena. Lena is an independent woman and has a good career but that does not mean you are inferior to her. Okay, Tep?

“Paham, Tea.”

“Good. That's the answer I want to hear. Tetak don't want you to feel inferior.”

“Tadi Atep had the same discussion A Endra and got enlightenment.”

“Tumben Aa cares about others,” Teh Iyah quipped.

“Kan so that your matchmaking project succeeds, Aa must help,” kekeh Kagendra.

“Aa is indeed the best deh.” After throwing compliments on her husband, Teh Iyah kissed her husband's face.

“Feel the world belongs to both, others contract,” grumbled.

“Eri? Cepet halalin Lena.” Teh Iyah laughed after insinuating me.

“You've had breakfast yet? Let's eat yuk first. Teteh makes fried rice special.” Iyah tea offered me breakfast and I accepted it.

“This cassava equals boiled yam who eats?” my many.

“Make Mang Atang only.”

Then Teh Iyah called Mang Atang, a security guard who was guarding the security guard post and gave a plate containing cassava and boiled yam.

“Her tea water take it inside!” the Iyah Tea Order.

“Aras and Aris are not awake yet?” ask A Endra.

“Not yet. Wake them up a little while. Usually they wake up early but last night they sleep a little night because watching and playing games with Lena,” explained Teh Iyah.

“Lena is awake?” asked A Endra and I was curious about the answer because I had not seen him gathered in the dining room.

“Seems like not yet. Last morning he entered the room again,” Teh Iyah replied.

“Bad habits. After dawn prayers go back to sleep,” grumbled Kagendra. “Later if you are married, you must advise him. He's got a lot of bad habits.”

Uhuk...

Hearing what Kagendra said, the drinking water that was halfway through my throat choked me.

“No need to be surprised like that. I have to tell the bad about my sister because if the good thing is for sure you will enjoy it. But not necessarily later you can receive bad habits from Lena,” explained A Endra.

“Iya, A.”

I had just sucked my first mouthful into my mouth when I heard the typical hoarse voice of someone just waking up.

“Teeeeeh….Lena lapaaar.”

I saw a woman with shoulder-length hair disheveled from just waking up. His eyes and face were slightly swollen as a result of staying up late.

I've seen Lena without her hijab, but it's not as clear as it is today. I've also seen a new face wake up but not as ruffled as this morning. I had also seen his fierce attitude after waking up but only this time I saw his effective attitude when he said hungry.

I looked at him, he looked at me. Our eyes locked on each other and the next second….

“Aaaaargh..
