"Papa and Mama are separated, sister," said Zevanna as soon as Marvel's car began to drive.
"Sorry, I don't know."
"It's not his fault, Marvel. Why apologize?"
The man looked. His lips carved a smile, but his eyes looked concerned. "You okay?"
Zevanna. "It's been a while."
"So much like sushi?"
Marvel's question this time managed to develop a smile on Zevanna's lips. The girl nodded back. Marvel is increasing the speed to get to the mall faster.
The man ordered a lot of sushi, and he laughed at the look of Zevanna. Anxious, Marvel took the initiative to take uramaki type sushi using chopsticks and put it right in front of Zevanna's lips. "Nrank ...."
Zevanna took turns glancing at Marvel and sushi before then laughing and opening her mouth wide. It is mangosteen to taste the delicious food typical of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Finished indulging his mouth and stomach, Zevanna and Marvel went around from one floor to the other. Secretly they are shadowed by memories when they were in college. Walk side by side in the mall after eating together or just watching a movie. Sweet curvatures adorn the lips of both. Not expecting after a few years they passed without any news at all, now Marvel and Zevanna can repeat it again.
"Eh, you're twin!" Marvel pointed to a balloon-shaped cartoon character of a girl whose hair was braided in two by a small child.
Zevanna kontan scowled to see it. The man next to her laughed with satisfaction. There is actually a reason why he was dubbed the twin of Jadoo— - a cartoon character he said resembled him. In addition to the hobby of watching the series Hello, Jadoo, Zevanna who used to often argue with fellow children of the organization makes it look like Jadoo who also often fights with his mother. Be, he was labeled as a twin of Jadoo or sometimes his older brother Jadoo.
"Sister Marvel, stop laughing?!" ketus Zevanna with face bent.
However, instead of stopping, Marvel's laughter became more and more because of the cute-looking Zevanna in his eyes. Reflexes, his hand rubbing the top of the girl's head.
Like magic, the touch obtained made Zevanna's annoyance disappear immediately. It looked fixedly at the man who stared back at him with a warm look and a soothing smile.
"Where else do you want to go?" ask Marvel who first mastered the situation.
Zevanna blinked, before replying, "Go home! Dingy. Tomorrow you'll have to help me at the boutique."
"Okay. Confused where to go too. Next time, I think it should be prepared more carefully so as not to be like a madman."
"So Marvel's a crazy guy. I'm not fucking." Zevanna shuddered, reluctant to be equated.
"But the proof is you want to walk the same crazy person. Sane should be shaky." Marvel is out of words.
"Sister Marvel!" Zevanna.
Marvel is moving away. "Hiiiyyah! I don't want to go near a madman."
Bugh!
Zevanna's bag hit the man's burly body. Marvel complained, pretending the pain was even reciprocated with a sneer.
Getting into the car, the breath of both of them huffed because the rest of the journey to the parking lot filled with mocking each other. Although tired, the smile that adorns the faces of Marvel and Zevanna is enough to be proof that they like to spend time together. Yeah, they were so happy before the middle of the trip home experiencing discomfort due to a flattened Marvel car tire.
"Ze, sorry yes. You want to wait, right? I can't tell you to take a taxi at night like this," said Marvel, as he continued to wander around waiting for the arrival of the mechanic he had contacted a while ago.
"It's okay, Brother. It's only nine o'clock." Zevanna smiled knot. He really does not matter, except the night wind that blows increasingly strong that increasingly pierced the skin and made the dress the bottom fly.
Like a gentleman, Marvel immediately released the blazer and gave it to Zevanna. "Wear first, let's not get cold" he said.
"Thanks." -."
Zevanna had permission to get into the car again after decades of waiting, but the mechanic she was waiting for had not yet arrived, while Marvel remained outside. Zevanna played her phone until it ran out, and maybe she'd be reckless to take a cab if the mechanic didn't show up right as soon as her foot stepped on the asphalt.
"Huhhhhh! Finally ...." Marvel breathed a sigh of relief after the car was done. He looked at Zevanna sitting next to him. "Congratulations huh?" he saw that the woman's eyes were red.
And, the evaporating Zevanna became the answer to the man's question.
"Sleep. I'll wake up when I get there" said Marvel, turning on the car's engine.
Without a second thought, Zevanna immediately looked for a comfortable position to close her eyes. Things like this often he did first when he came home at night because he had to prepare for campus events. On the other hand, Zevanna believes in Marvel.
While Zevanna was asleep, the Marvel driving repeatedly glanced at Zevanna. He could not avoid that his feelings that had withered on the girl beside him were now back growing since their accidental meeting.
"I think, I'm falling' in love again with you, Ze." Using his finger, Marvel traced Zevanna's face. Then, he patted Zevanna on the shoulder several times to wake her up because her car had arrived in front of the girl's house.
Zevanna took a deep breath while slowly opening her eyes. "Emmhh ... Has it arrived since then, Brother?"
"Just now."
Zevanna. "If so I go down first yes," he said opening the door after removing the Marvel blazer that was still attached to his body.
"Wake up or are you asleep?" marvel asked curiously because the night drove girls home.
"The most sleeping. Nothing, anyways go home last night there is also a reason. By the way, thanks for the tonnage, brother." Zevanna then waved her hand.
"Initime."
As soon as Marvel's car came out of the gate, Zevanna was walking around, afraid Mama was still awake. Be careful he opens the door. However, not his mother, but Jayden who is currently actually caught him and looked at him as if he was a drug dealer who was ready to be arrested.
"Why did you just get home at this hour?"
Zevanna threw away her face. Care demon! He just passed Jayden.
"Zevanna!"
"It's none of your business!" exclaim Zevanna without stopping her steps.
"But you're a girl. Mama you didn't come home tonight and she nitipin you to me."
"You mean?"
"Pretend bego!"
"Ze—"
"God!" Zevanna flicked her hand, reluctant to listen to Jayden. He continued his steps up the stairs. And just when he got to the end, the electricity suddenly went out.
The cold instantly ambushed. Zevanna clenched her hands. His heart was pounding, but his legs suddenly went limp. The only thing that could help him right now was his phone. However, the flat object was already dead because it was used by him to kill boredom.
Zevanna hates the dark and lonely because this situation reminds her of an unpleasant incident while staying at the grandmother's house in Yogyakarta.
At that time, Zevanna woke up from her sleep. His position that tilted to the left made him immediately able to see the clock on the wall. At one in the morning. Zevanna who was about to change position to be supine was forced to urinate when suddenly the swab on his back he felt.
"Bobolah bobo .. ooo .... Otherwise bobo gets bitten by a mosquito ...."
Zevanna's body stiffened. He gulped at the song his grandmother used to sing when he was a child and now he heard it back right in his ear. However, how could his grandmother sing it this afternoon Zevanna had just buried his grandmother's body?
Zevanna's tears were pouring out followed by a slow sobbing. Don't know if it's a dream or not, but Zevanna is always afraid of every memory.
"Zevanna, are you still there?" jayden asked regretting that he left his phone in the room. He knew very well the trauma that Zevanna had because they had also been trapped in the same situation as now.
"J-Jay, I-I'm scared."
"Calm down, yeah, calm down. You brought a hape, right? Nyalain, I. My wine is in the room."
"Hapeya's dead. Jay, I'm scared." The fool was himself asking for forgiveness, but this moment also Zevanna needed Jayden. He didn't even realize he was wearing me-you again like when they were dating.
Breathing out of Jayden's mouth. There was no other way but to fumble around in order to get to the point where Zevanna was. "I walk there. You don't move, yeah."
"Missy!"
"Aww!" Jayden groaned as his pinky leg hit the foot of the table.
"Why?"
"It's okay," Jayden said. He took a deep breath while biting his lower lip to muffle the pain that made him want to let out the curse. "I'm going up the stairs. You stretch your hands let me know," he said moments later.
"If you even catch another hand that is not my hand how?" ask Zevanna to worry.
Jayden chuckles. "No, no. Come on, spanin, I'm on my way."
Though in doubt, inevitably Zevanna complies. He stretched out his hands—padayat one was enough. Then, a moment later another hand clasped his wrist. "Jayden?"
"Yes, it's me. Where's the flashlight?"
"In my room there is. In the locker."
"Yes, already. We're going there."
Stupidly, Zevanna just nodded that Jayden obviously did not see.
"Ze?"
"Eh, yes, come on!" Zevanna held onto Jayden's shirt too tight. Let it stretch, the important thing is that he survived.
Fortunately, Zevanna's room was not too far away. Jayden turned the doorknob around, and asked, "Where's the locker?"
"Again to the right keep straight."
They continued walking. Zevanna's hands immediately fumbled as soon as she reached the locker where she stored both important and non-essential items, including a note on the purchase of packaged tea at the nearest minimarket. And voila, it didn't take long for the room to be bright. Zevanna could see Jayden's face a few centimeters away.
The man's lips revealed a smile. "Udah," he said follow the relief.
Zevanna suddenly clumsy. "Eumm .. thanks."
"Either. I'll go to my room first, yeah."
"Don't!" Zevanna held up Jayden's shirt, made the man look back at her. Zevanna turned her face away, realizing that she shouldn't have been this way. But, how else? The fear within him had not completely disappeared.
"You want to be won?"
Zevanna knew she was wrong. But for tonight, he wants to be selfish. He wants to be near Jayden before Jayden— maybe— becomes a dad. "You're getting some sleep." A father will definitely accompany sleep if his son is scared, right?
After his heart was burned by the flames of jealousy, Jayden would naturally not waste the opportunity at hand. He misses the feeling of clutching Zevanna's slender body. Buried the girl's head in her chest. Therefore, he nodded his head. "Change clothes together clean first. I'll wait there." Jayden pointed at the edge of the bed. It was like the first night.
"Yes, just a minute."
They walked in opposite directions with a flashlight in Zevanna's hand. Zevanna passed the dress, replaced it with a shirt and shorts, then went to the bathroom to urinate with a toothbrush, wash face, hands, and feet.
Beres! Zevanna approached Jayden. "Jay, it's already."
Jayden immediately pulled out the blanket, coded Zevanna to get into bed first and then she followed. Zevanna according to after adjusting the flashlight to be at the lowest light level so as not to glare.
There was no sound other than their breath. The eyes of those who meet again look. Fragrant oceanic meet fragrant flowers. Jayden closed his body to Zevanna. Slightly humble, the man brought his face closer to then softly poked at the sweet lips of his girl puja. A moment of warmth enveloped the heart as Zevanna replied to her pagutan.
"I love you."
It was not clear Zevanna heard because Jayden hurriedly hugged her tightly after their kiss came loose in the middle of the hunting breath. Whatever it was, the most important thing now was that Zevanna could feel Jayden's warm body again.
"Night, Jay."
"Night, Ma Cherie."
