" It's late and you're still here? " the nagging Melisa. He knew Zein was busy and always stole the time to get the two to meet.
" Kangen." Zein's great-grandson with a pouting face.
" We just met nine hours ago, Mr. lawyer" said Melisa, anxious.
" yes. Then why Ms. Melisa Septian? Must be a long distance before new miss? " teacher Zein.
Melisa grunting. The man always managed to tease her.
" Yes already. Come on in, the wind's strong outside. " Melisa wrapped her grip on the man's arm and closed the main door.
" Oh, hi, Ze. " Om Irwan waved at a glance when he saw who was visiting and then returned to focus on the TV screen again.
" I'm sorry, disrupt the night, Om." said Zein, glancing at Melisa upset the woman. That guy must be getting revenge because he was nagging.
" It's okay, Melisa happy really. "said Om Irwan.
Zein chuckles. He smiled triumphantly.
" It turns out silent You miss me too. "
" No, no. At your heart I want you. " said Melisa, folding her hands.
" Saving your own anger can be a disease, Mel. Let alone kangen. "said Zein, she stared long at Melisa. " To be vented. "whispers.
Melisa immediately hit Zein's arm and the man immediately complained in pain.
" Om, Melisa went upstairs to watch TV as well. " said Melisa and replied to a nod by her Uncle.
Melisa pulled Zein's hand up the stairs. They relax on the sofa while watching a drama abroad. Melisa has long been installing cable TV since she was bored with the increasingly unreasonable domestic shows.
" No cartoons? " question Zein, she rested her head on Melisa's shoulder.
" There's. A bunch. What cartoon do you want to watch?"
Zein nodded. " I don't understand watching soap operas. "
" lh! it was not a soap opera, but a drama "correction Melisa.
Zein clucking. " Same either episode." said Zein of self-defense.
Finally Melisa replaced the TV channel with cartoon shows at the request of the man beside her.
" Tumben your hair in braids" said Zein as she stroked her lover's hair.
" Guess who's braid? " Melia was interested in starting everything from now on.
Zein thought, though not really serious. " Of Irwan? "
Replace the clucking Melisa. " Om aja can not be differentin rubber hair same rubber band. "
" Okay, if so ..... Glenn's? "
" Here is he. I told the hair combin to get tangled, " said Melisa.
Zein chuckles. " So bad is he. Who else is it? Hm .... You alone maybe? " He gave up.
" Everything wrong. The truth is Aunt Desi, Mama Siti. Good, is it the braids? " he asked Zein, with a smile. Just like a kid who just bought a pop loli.
Melisa could see the change in Zein's facial features very clearly and the man was unconscious if he was being noticed. Slowly the request is gone and ends with a forced smile.
Melisa knows.
" It's good. Oh, yeah you want to come back tomorrow like that? " Zein shifted the topic. Enough with Dwita he discussed things related to Desi.
" Not every day either, Ze. I'm not catering " said Melisa.
Zein chuckles. " If I paid to eat good food every day, would you? "
Melisa thinks. At first it was just pretending oura until an idea came into its head.
" Don't pay. But in return you have to obey all the requests I want, how? "
Zein nodded. " agreed. I'll do whatever you want and I'll get your cooking every day. The deal! "
Zein grabs Melisa's hand and then shakes it. The woman laughed.
" You .... at home alone? " ask Melisa.
Zein. Quiet for a few seconds. "Yes. That's why I can play here tonight."
Lies.
Melisa just nodded. " Ohh. Where are your parents, Ze? "
" In Bandung. " replied Zein, still focus on snacks and cartoons on TV.
" Today to bandung all stopped by? "
Zein fell silent. " Ummm..... No hell. Mepet too. "
Definitely not. You live your mother here.
" why? " Zein turned his head, raising next to his eyebrows.
Melisa shakes. " What's wrong. This Saturday go yuk. " The girl wrapped her hands around Zein's muscular arms.
" Watching? " zein said after putting a snack in his mouth.
" Can. "
Then Zein spent an hour relaxing on his loving shoulder.
*****
Alright. Melisa has made up her mind, if Glenn does not want to help her then she will try herself. Melisa was sure, she was capable. He will not be weak just because of love.
There are probably a lot of guys out there like Zein. Perhaps the reason he thought Zein was so special was because the man was present outside of his scope which was always in his comfort zone. But maybe the one like Zein is just that guy.
It'sit's okay. Melisa sincere. At least he tried to be sincere. He had taught his father not to be attached to anything and it was time to realize the words of Andre, his father.
Now Melisa is in Siti's Boutique after returning from the office. He wants to deliver Siti's package that the girl accidentally ordered with Melisa's address.
" Put it in my bag, all the packages." said Siti, still busy with mannequins.
" yes. Which lo bag? "
" That, on the bottom shelf. "
Melisa gets up from the sofa and looks for Siti's latest charles & keith bag.
When she opened the white bag, Melisa found a black velvet box with a Frank & Co inscription in the lower right corner. She scrunched her forehead, Melisa knew very well that Siti did not like the feeling as much as she did.
" Ti, did you buy jewelry? " ask Melisa curiously.
Siti. He's ambushed. " E-eh, I-yeah. It's buyin ..... " The girl turned her brain to think. " Nyokap-a. Purchased nyokap yesterday. "
Melisa nodded. Just trust.
" What the fuck is this, Ti? Bracelet or necklace ? " ask Melisa again.
" The necklace. " answered Siti.
" Can I see? Usually Aunt Desi's taste is good" said Melisa.
Siti rubbed her nape. She's worried. But it's okay, just looking. Melisa also does not know who the giver is.
" yes. Look at Mel. "
Melisa took the box heart. Then slowly the girl opened the red box and found a gold necklace with a small goose-shaped pendant. He noticed the pendant, very charming and full of beautiful meaning. True love.
He rubbed the pendant, similar to the pendant his father gave him when he had his 17th birthday.
" Aunty Desi is not wrong. The code tuh, Ti. " said Melisa, again storing the box into the bag Siti.
" What code?? " change Siti who is confused.
" Code if aunty Desi wants to get married quickly. Look at the pendant, goose shape. Do you know what that means? " says Melisa.
True love and loyalty. I know, Mel. I'm sorry. Sorry I can't be a good friend to you.
" What?? "
