The god knocks on the laboratory door and asks the guard for permission to summon the Eagle and Mayra. The first-year civil engineering student waited for her brother while watching Mayra from outside the room.
"You still have college?" the Eagle asked as soon as it arrived before the God.
"Nothing, Mom. Want to go home this abis, want to nganter mom to Jl. Parangtritis."
"Mayra's company to BPS broke, yes, at most an hour he has finished taking the data, abis it anterin go home! Usually he likes to stop by for some ice in Timoho." The eagle gave the order as if Mayra was his master and the Deity was his personal driver.
"What the hell are you, El! I can get the data in the BPS myself."
Mayra glared at the Eagle who was opening his wallet and giving money to his sister. "Make the gas with Mayra's ice!"
The god chuckled, raised next to the eyebrows and unperturbedly took the money from the Eagle's hand. "There's no change here, Mom! Watch all of you, there's a good horror movie coming out!"
"Mayra doesn't like horror, watch romance only, if you need a Bollywood movie," said the witty Eagle. He's calmer if Mayra goes with him or anywhere between the Gods.
There is no specific reason. Oh there's obviously a reason behind the Eagle's protective attitude toward Mayra, but only he himself knows. The gods could never understand why and why the Eagle treated Mayra so well, like a friend but excessively. Like a lover but never treated the same as Vivian.
"El, you don't beat me up!" mayra protest in a higher tone.
"Yes I'm horrified, the problem is that you can't go anywhere by yourself so you have to be escorted!" clear Eagle was firm.
"I can ride an online motorcycle!" Mayra's voice still won't budge.
"It's safer with the gods, right?"
Mayra complained in silence, only the look in her eyes that did not understand the workings of the Eagle's brain. "As far as you!"
If the Eagle is so concerned with all his activities, with his association and studies but why is he not worthy to stand as the equivalent of a girlfriend? The eagle never touches him affectionately, the Eagle only embraces his shoulder like a friend or holds his hand when crossing the street.
Kissing with an Eagle? Maybe it was just Mayra's dream that would never come true. The eagle seemed to have no lust for him, and purely regarded him as a friend even with many privileges.
Sometimes Mayra compares herself to Eagle girlfriends, she is no less beautiful, nor less sexy but! Eagles are not interested in him, the goodness of Eagles may be because on the basis of their mother has been good friends for a long time. And it feels that Mayra has no right to demand more from the Eagle considering that his position is indeed nobody.
"Depart now, Ma'am?" ask the Lord politely.
"I'll take care of it for a while" Mayra replied as she stepped back into the laboratory.
"Yes be careful, don't let the night when Mayra comes home! Five o'clock must have reached his house" the eagle said to his sister.
The eagle stared at the backs of two people who disappeared down the stairs, clucking happily before returning to the laboratory to continue the research.
While Mayra was more silent in the God car, it felt awkward and also strange because it had to often trouble the young man who was obedient to his brother.
"Mbak why? What pain is laper?"
"Not both, again think of materials for a seminar!" mayra's answer is lying. His eyes glanced towards the Gods, the color of the Gods skin was darker than the Eagle's skin, with a height and posture almost the same as that of the Eagle, Gods could not be said to be ugly even though there was no resemblance as they were indeed not siblings.
"When is the seminar planned?"
"When you graduate, where are you going, Mommy?"
Mayra glanced at the God at a glance, "Of course, marriage is possible!"
"Have a candidate?"
Mayra suddenly giggled amusedly with her words just now. "No, wait for the Eagle to sleep!"
"Eagle's Mask?"
"Yes, who else is it?"
"Mayra's sister is dating Mas Eagle?"
"No." Mayra answered quickly.
"Now I am confused," said the God chuckled. "Not going out but getting married!"
"Whose girlfriend is she, Wa? I mean, who's she ever invited to the house of a well-known family?"
"Not knowing me, Ma'am! But I guess I've never brought a woman home, if I go home alone. Rarely do nginep too," explained the flat God.
"You really don't know who she's seriously dating?"
The God chuckled considering that the Eagle had never taken his relationship with women seriously at all. "Alas Mas Eagle ever serious with women, Ma'am?"
"I don't know, so ask you!"
"After me no one noticed Mas Elang other than Mbak Mayra."
"meaning?"
"I just wanted to help Mas Eagle to deliver Ma'am Mayra, never to another girl. Doesn't that mean Ma'am's special?"
"The other one delivered himself the same time ...," replied Mayra confidently.
"Perhaps, but I think that Mas Eagle has a very big caring attitude as Ma'am Mayra means Mas Eagle may harbor the same feeling Mbak, just not yet disclosed!"
Mayra ponders. Did ya? But why does it feel impossible, especially after seeing Eagles treat friendly lecturers in the laboratory earlier.
Should Mayra ask directly to the Eagle? Oh no! They never once talked about personal matters, meaning that Mayra usually only talked about the relationship of the Eagle with the women who swarmed him, not the relationship of the Eagle with him.
Mayra seems desperate, but still not willing to see the Eagle with Nindya. What does it mean that he has to fight for his love? Competing with Vivian and also Nindya.
