"Why come home late at night?"


I looked up from the Laptop to look at Muri. The thirty-year-old man watched me with one hand playing a bullet and one hand propping up his chin.


His eyes demanded that I answer his question right now.


"Repo!" I sahutku short and then back typing Laptop. At first glance I heard Muri's snort.


"Don't blame me if Leo finds out you just got home last night at 1am!"


Sponatn I glared at Muri.


"Begin threatening to bring Leo!"


"I'm not threatening. You know if Dad and Leo ask me to take care of you while we're here. If they find out you came home last night and I didn't tell them this, I'm with Leo."


Suddenly my throat was dry.


This is what happens when Muri gets too close to Leo and Dad.


Actually, it wouldn't be a problem if I explained why I could go home at night.


I'm just embarrassed.


But I have to explain to Muri before her mind goes too far.


"I stopped by the Villa because-"


"Vila who?" sela Muri looked at me sharply.


"Vila Arshaka's. Last night the road was jammed so-"


"Well, I don't need to know the answer."


We were silent when OB suddenly entered the room and brought the drink that Muri had ordered.


"Btw later in the afternoon would you like to accompany me on the road?" muri asked after OB left the room.


"Where are you going?"


"To the beach want to? I'm bored,"


"Where to ride what? Same who?" ask again.


"Same kids get in the car,"


I'm weighing Muri's invitation. Could too.


"May, but I-I"


My speech came to a halt when my phone vibrated and a phone came in from Arshaka. Without lingering I grabbed my phone and answered the phone.


I happened to want to contact him about our plan to the beach.


"Hello,"


"I'll pick you up later in the afternoon" said Arshaka directly to me without further ado.


"No Ar, I'm the same as the kids are leaving."


"Kids? The feeling we didn't make last night,"


Instantly I hissed in embarrassment then looked at Muri who was looking at me and heard my conversation.


My God, I hope Muri doesn't catch Arshaka's joke.


"I want to go with my friends, Arsha." I repeated my words in a taut tone, then he chuckled.


"alright. Where are you going?"


"Beach," I replied.


"With Muri?"


Before answering my gaze looked back at Muri, and Muri noticed my gaze.


"Yes,"


"You didn't go together with him, did you?" arshaka asked again and I nodded at once even though Arshaka did not see that.


"Yes," I said again.


"alright. Call me if you've arrived at the Homestay!"


The phone connection was cut off after I said "Yes,"


I went back to explain to Muri that we were leaving after the office hours. Immediately Muri approached the friends and invited them to leave.


...***** ...


Kuta Beach is Beautiful.


That's all I can say, it's hard to describe in detail.


The twilight spray behind the white clouds pampered my eyes, the smell of the beach and the whirling wind coming through my skin was able to reduce my fatigue after work.


Not far from the beach, Mbak Enni and Mas Sigit were busy photographing each other. Sometimes they seem to enjoy the waves of beach water that approaches them.


While Muri was standing on the beach-near the position of Mbak Enni and Mas Sigit. It's just that the man prefers to stay silent to enjoy the flow of water waves. Looking from his back alone he looked spoiled by Nature, he was unwilling to waste this matter.


I took a sip of the water and I put it again on the Beach table right next to me.


"Which one is Bi?" Muri came up to me and asked him. I immediately showed the Kelapanya who was near Kelapa Mas Sigit. Then Muri took it.


"The water is delicious, fresh." praise Muri after she sips the Coconut water.


I just agreed to her compliment.


"Aren't you going to play there?" ask Muri again while pointing at the beach lips.


"No. I'll just sit here" I refused.


Then Muri sat on the seat I sat on. Spontaneously I pulled my leg so he could sit down.


Though the bench next to me was empty, but I did not feel strange when Muri chose to sit near me.


"Photo with yuk!" Suddenly Muri took me a photo together and pulled her phone out of her shirt pocket.


I'm a little surprised.


"Tumben ngajakin photo together,"


"Leo. I told you we're at the beach again,"


Without thinking for a long time I leaned my body towards Muri who was ready to shoot a picture of us both. After that he properly sent our photos to whatsapp Leo.


"Definitely bad!" Suddenly Muri squealed making me flinch.


"Why?" I could see his face panicking.


"Duh, go back!" the strangulation made me even more curious.


"Bi, I'm so sorry. I mis-send a photo,"


"You mean?" I looked at him not understanding.


"I sent the photo to Arshaka instead of Leo."


Spontaneously I pulled Muri's phone and looked at her whatsapp history. My face stiffened as Arshaka had seen the photo and my phone suddenly rang.


Arshaka's calling.


M*mpus me!


I immediately picked up Arshaka's phone before her ringtone stopped.


As much as possible I need to calm down.


"Hello,"


"Where?"


I closed my eyes for a moment to hear the tone of his speech that had been ketus, asem and difficult to predict.


"Beach,"


"Where are you now?"


"Yes I'm at the beach," I repeat a little nervously.


"I know you're on the beach. Where are you again?"


"I'm at Kuta Beach" I replied again.


"That's not what I mean-"


I frowned hearing his words.


"You're in-ah I got you!"


I don't even understand what he meant just now.


"Bi, uh,"


I turned my head to the side as Muri nudged my arm, then Muri directed me to turn my back.


Instantly I stiffened as I caught the figure of Arshaka who had stood not far from our position with a face that I did not want to look at for long.


Lothawat!


"Go home with me, now!"


Arshaka immediately pulled my hand to leave from there. Muri and my friends could only stare at my departure with big question mark gazes.


Feels Deja-vu, it's the second time I've been caught cheating on Arshaka.


Why do I have to experience this?
