Anta comes from the kitchen and brings a glass of milk for Ricky. The girl entered the sister's room, and approached the boy who was working on his PR.
"Have you finished your work?" Putting down the glass of milk she brought and gently rubbing the top of Ricky's head.
"Live one number, brother."
"You want to help?"
Ricky shakes. "No need, brother. I think Ricky can work."
"Yes already. Brother accompany you to PR work."
"Aren't you sleepy?"
"Not sleepy, but not yet." Anta. The girl is sitting on Ricky's bed. "Come, continue the PR work. Almost ten, you should sleep. Don't forget the toothbrush keeps drinking the milk, then sleeping."
"Yes, Brother. Ricky won't forget." His word.
Anta smile. The girl looked at her sister's room. No change at all. It's just that, there's a miniature of his favorite animation that he put on his study table.
"That's..."
Geck... Geck... Geck... The sound of knocking on the door made Anta stop her speech. Ricky and Anta throw one another glances. It is not usual for their house to be visited by guests at night.
"After you move, someone's been meeting at night like this, deck?"
Ricky shakes. "Nothing, Brother."
"Who are the people who have been meeting this night? Almost ten o'clock." Anta was about to get out of Ricky's room.
"Don't get laid, brother! Not a thief."
"You are, there is. Did a thief knock on the door?" Reply Anta, make Ricky grin. "You're here. Let Brother open."
"Yes, Brother. Careful."
Anta quickly exited Ricky's room and headed straight for the door. The knocking is still heard. Anta was also curious as to who was visiting at night and knocking on the door loudly and impatiently like this.
Chequek...
Degs...
Anta was surprised to see Elvano standing in front of her with Evan in her arms. The man's face looked grim. It seemed like she was upset that Anta was so slow to open the door.
"Mas El, why..."
"Let me go in first." Cut it.
"A-ayo come in, Mas."
Anta gave way for Elvano to enter. Without waiting for Anta to let him sit down, Elvano sat down.
"Here, let Evan put me in the room."
Elvano did not argue. He hands Evan over to Anta, and is immediately taken into the room by Anta. The girl laid Evan on her bed, then placed a pillow on Evan's right left side. After tipping Evan's forehead, Anta went out to meet Elvano.
"Mas El's..."
"Yaw... Whose guest? Not a thief, right?" Ricky screamed from his room.
"No, deck. This is Mas El, Brother's husband."
Elvano gave a smile hearing Anta call her husband. For some reason, it feels very happy to be recognized by the husband by his wife.
"Suami Kak Anta?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Hearing his sister's reply, Ricky slowly opened the door of his room. He went out and approached Anta and Elvano who were in the living room. When he saw Elvano's face, he was slightly surprised. It turns out that his brother-in-law is very handsome.
"Include, Mom! This is my brother, Ricky."
Ricky extended his hand towards Elvano. Anta hesitated a little as her sister extended her hand. He doubted if Elvano would return his sister's hand. However, his doubts are all but gone when Elvano grabs Ricky's hand, shaking him back.
"I'm Ricky, um." His word.
"I'm Elvano. I'm your brother's husband. It's appropriate to call Brother-in-law, not om." Elvano said, then released their hand link.
Ricky grimaced softly while scratching his non-itchy nape. "Sorry, Brother."
"It's okay." Reply Elvano.
"In that case, I'll go to the bathroom first. You want a toothbrush."
"His PR is done?"
"Yes already. Brush your teeth, drink milk and sleep."
"Yes, Brother." Ricky immediately passed to the bathroom that was near the kitchen.
After Ricky left, Anta glanced at Elvano. "Mas El is with Evan why are you here?" Ask Anta. His eyes twitched, trying to dodge his eyes with Elvano.
"Evan kept crying. So, I asked for your home address on Mama and Mama to give it." Elvano.
Anta nodded. "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"The rice is still there. But the side dish is over. Anta masakin's fried, huh?"
"Hm." The answer. "I'm taking a shower too."
"So, don't you want to take a shower tonight? The water is cold here when it's night." Ricky just got back from the bathroom. The boy then walked into his room.
"If Mas El still wants to take a bath, Anta cook water for Mas." Anta.
"No need. I don't have a problem with cold water." The reply. "You just fry the eggs. I'm gonna grab my stuff with Evan in the car. After the shower, I ate." Further.
Anta just nodded. Elvano immediately went out of the house, took his bag and Evan's bag and re-entered the house. Anta is still faithful in the living room. As Elvano entered he approached and grabbed Evan's bag from Elvano.
"Let Anta help." His word. Elvano just gave it without saying a single word. As Anta entered the room, Elvano also entered.
Anta's room is very small. The bed and the bed are also small. Totally fit into Anta's small body.
"If you want to take a shower, let me show you the bathroom."
Elvano. Anta approached her medium-sized closet and took out a towel and gave it to Elvano. He then followed Anta towards the kitchen, precisely to the bathroom.
"This is the bathroom, Mas." Elvano nodded again. Then he entered the bathroom. The bathroom is not comparable to the bathroom in his home. After taking off all the cloths that were stuck on his body, Elvano roared with water and flushed his body.
Grrr...
Elvano felt his body shiver. The water is very cold piercing the skin. Wrong himself, why didn't he listen to Ricky.
"Ck. I should have just accepted Anta's offer." His murmur then re-watered his body. He had to endure the cold. After all, she did not want to be laughed at by Anta and her sister. It was pretentious to refuse hot water, and now it's cold.
Elvano exited the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her waist. Honestly, he was very cold at the moment. He was just trying to be mediocre. His eyes were unintentionally looking towards the kitchen. There Anta is cooking. Quickly he stepped into the room.
"Shhh... It's cold." He muttered as he entered the room.
Elvano's forehead shriveled when he saw his bag and Evan's was empty. He boldly opened Anta's closet. It turns out his clothes and Evan's clothes have been neatly arranged next to Anta's clothes. A faint smile appeared on Elvano's lips. He looked at Anta's folded clothes.
Has her shirt been this much?
Elvano grabbed her shirt and then put it on. His body felt a little warm from before, although it still felt cold.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
The room door was knocked, making Elvano approach and open it.
"The food is ready, Mom."
"Yes." Yeah."
Elvano came out following Anta to the dining table surrounded by 5 chairs. Elvano sat down and Anta took food for the man. Elvano ate in silence. Anta did not speak. Noticing Elvano was reluctant. He chose to bow, and focused his gaze on his fingers.
"Aren't you eating?"
"I'm still full, Mom."
Elvano simply nodded and continued to finish his meal. After it ran out, Anta lifted the dirty dishes and cleaned the table. Elvano just sat watching Anta. After Anta finished and sat down for a few minutes without speaking a bit, they both went to the room.
"Mas El, go to sleep. I'm the same Evan can sleep in Tiara's room."
Elvano who was sitting on the edge of the bed looked at him. "Where my son sleeps, there I also sleep. This is your home, different from mine. At home, I left Evan in my own room because I could guarantee Evan's safety. But here, I still doubt. So, I have to be with Evan."
It's good that you want to sleep in another room and I'm alone here. Evan and I came here to sleep with you.
Anta fell silent. He understood how Elvano felt about his son's safety.
"But the bed is small, Mas."
"I don't have a problem."
It is better that the mattress is narrow like this. Can sleep stuck. My cold could quickly disappear.
"Yes already. Anta didn't move into Tiara's room." Anta answered, and they ended up sleeping three on Anta's medium-sized bed. As Anta and Evan fall asleep, Elvano awakens. The man moved to kiss Evan and Anta.
I can't be sure how I feel. There will come a time when I will be honest about how I really feel.
