Butterfly In You
Chapter 60: Ice Cream

A soft, sultry sound was heard from inside the main room. Shehan enters the room after exiting Jesslyn's room. Then, he found Lilis was sitting on the sofa she used to sleep on while occasionally wiping her eyes that were rather careless with a handkerchief.

"Mas!" lilis exclaimed straight up when she saw Shehan, but did not leave the sofa. Shehan is the one who approached him.

"Why are you still crying?" ask Shehan while walking.

Lilis could not wait for Shehan to stand right in front of her. He also visited until the two faced each other at a close distance.

"I really didn't steal Miss Jesslyn's necklace, Mas! I don't know why the necklace is in my closet!" lamented Lilis, pilu.

Shehan's pectoral bow deflated slowly and quietly. One hand of Shehan swung, tucking the strands of unraveling Lilis hair on the cheek behind the ear. Lilis was even surprised to see the form of attention Shehan gave her. His eyes were watching incessantly.

"Don't think about that problem again. It's all done. Jesslyn also got her necklace again" Shehan said, lightly.

"But Miss Jesslyn accused me of being a thief, Mas!" Lilis was still whining.

"In front of him, he won't accuse you like that anymore."

Lilis looked confused. "Why could that be?"

"Have, don't think about that problem again. Most importantly now, you don't cry anymore and remember to lock the door to your closet. Why don't you lock it? So sloppy!" Shehan is intimidating.

"That's because all this time in this house is safe even though I didn't lock the closet door. That's why I never locked that closet door."

"From now on you have to lock it and keep it in a safe place."

"But I believe I'm not the thief?" Lilis' gaze demanded.

"Yes, I believe you. Nurbanu's asleep, right?"

"Here you go, my mom."

"Come, we're going!" Shehan grabbed Lilis hand and pulled it.

"Where is Mas?"

"Follow me!"

Shehan did not tell her where he was taking Lilis away. The two got into the car, sitting next to each other in the front cabin. Along the way Lilis is silent, waiting for Shehan where will stop the speed of his car. Fifteen minutes later, they arrive at a cafe. They got out of the car after Shehan parked his car in the front yard of the cafe.

'Cafe? Why are we here?' muttered Lilis.

"Come on!" take Shehan to Lilis who looks at the entrance of the cafe. Putting both hands in her pants pocket, Shehan walked in front. Lillis walked behind him.

Shades of dim and jazz music played into the atmosphere that surrounds the atmosphere in the cafe. Many young couples and people of different races sit together and tell stories.

Lilis followed Shehan who chose to sit near a glass wall and face the view of the sea at night. Just a minute after that, a waitress came over.

Shehan did not let Lilis order food or drinks, only he ordered. It was also ice cream with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors.

Lilis wants to ask why Shehan took her to the place at a time that almost led to midnight and why Shehan also ordered only one serving of ice cream. If it's money, there's no way Shehan doesn't have money. Has Shehan suddenly become stingy?

After the ice cream was served on their table, Shehan apparently gave a serving of ice cream to Lilis. "Eat!" said later.

Sontak Lilis was dumbfounded and confused. "Mas didn't eat the ice cream?"

"No, I ordered this for you."

Lilis looked towards the ice cream then turned to Shehan again. So keep up to three times. "Why did I order this ice cream for me?"

"So you don't cry anymore after a sweet meal."

Lilis unmoving. Touched hearing Shehan's reasoning.

"Eat! This ice cream will be liquid."

"Mas ate too!" bring Lilis.

"No, I've brushed my teeth. You're the one eating."

'I also brush my teeth!'

But in order to appreciate Shehan's kindness, Lilis ended up feeding her mouth with the ice cream. The sweetness instantly melts over the surface of the tongue and makes the mood of Lilis so improved. That's right Shehan said.

Lilis slowly ate her ice cream while looking down because she did not dare to see Shehan who had been watching her since then from across. Lilis's nose started to water for a long time because of the beach's night air and the cold sensation of the ice cream she was eating.

"Hatchiii!" Suddenly Lilis sneezed in front of Shehan. He took a piece of tissue to press the tip of his nose.

'Maybe he's cold because of that ice cream, ' Shehan's inner self.

"Where are you going?"

But Shehan did not answer. He kept walking leaving Lilis alone in the cafe. Upon Shehan's arrival in the front yard area of the cafe, he went to a line of stalls selling rattan bags and bohemian-themed clothes. In the clothing stall there are also shawls. Shehan bought one, then went back to the cafe.

Lilis was flabbergasted to see Shehan return with a small bag. Until the man arrived at their table, Lilis was even more flabbergasted when Shehan took out the contents of the bag and put them on Lilis's back.

Lilis looked back. He found a cream-colored scarf rather dark. Plain, there is absolutely no pattern. There is only a tassel on the wide side edge of the shawl that becomes the sweetener.

"Mas came out because he wanted to buy this shawl?" lilis asked Shehan who was back in his position.

"Yes, you must be cold from eating that ice cream. Don't have to be spent. Come on, let's go home!"

Lilis looked at the bowl container. Half of the ice cream still forms a lump. The rest have melted.

"But baby if it's not spent, Mas!"

"It's okay, than you got the flu. Come on, let's go home."

"All right, Mum."

Lilis and Shehan left their desks and headed home.

A few moments later.

"Mas, thank you for buying me ice cream as well as the shawls" Lilis said as their car entered the garage next to the main terrace of the house.

Shehan who was sitting on the steering wheel instead focused on the corner of Lilis' lips because it was a little dirty. "There's ice cream on the corner of your lips."

"Oh, yeah!" Lilis quickly searched for tissue. He will take a sheet from the box that is above the car dashboard. However, Shehan held his hand. Instantly Lilis flinched and turned her head.

"Let me clean up!"

Lilis froze as Shehan approached her and held her head behind her. It felt like it was very fast, knowing that Shehan's lips had stuck, clearing the corners of his lips with a kiss.

Lilis' eyes were bulging, nervous and trembling. Both of his hands had already reacted pushing Shehan's chest, but Shehan's other hand wrapped around his back tightly. Cuddling Lilis was getting closer and closer into his arms.

Lilis could not refuse anymore. Each time she turned, Shehan would hold her head. Lilis squeezed Shehan's shirt and closed her eyes tightly. Letting the tenderness of Shehan's kiss enjoy her lips.

Mbok Tum just put his tired body on the edge of the bed. His forehead frowned thinly even though the middle-aged woman was about to sleep. In the mind of Mbok Tum still ringing incident a few days ago which until this moment disturbed his calm.

Flashback two days ago.

While carrying two plastic fruits containing vegetables and side dishes purchased at the market, Mbok Tum just returned home shopping for food. It was quiet at home because Shehan had gone to work. While Lilis was picking up Nurbanu at Sunflower Kindergarten school.

After putting vegetables and side dishes into the refrigerator, Mbok Tum intends to go to the room. I want to call his family in the village. Just about to enter the mouth of the corridor that connects the rows of servants' rooms, Mbok Tum apparently caught Jesslyn walking sneaking out of the main room.

"Well, that's Non Jesslyn! Didn't you go to work this morning? Why did you suddenly come home?"

Mbok Tum intends to say hello, but Jesslyn's gait is very suspicious. He drowned circulating his gaze around the house vigilantly. Instead of opening his stiletto shoes so that the sound of his footsteps does not make a sound at all.

Mbok Tum is secretly stalking Jesslyn. When she was on the porch, Jesslyn put on her shoes again and drove to her car. Two days later, a commotion broke out this morning. Jesslyn accuses Lilis of stealing her necklace and somehow it could be in Lilis' closet.

Back to the present.

"Well! No one thought Non Jesslyn could slander Non Lilis. What's wrong with Non Lilis? Poor thing!"

It feels like Mbok Tum's throat is hot and choked when you remember it all. Not so sleeping, Mbok Tum went to the kitchen to take a sip of water. However, not yet in the kitchen, again Mbok Tum caught Jesslyn throwing something in the trash.

"Non Jesslyn! What's the middle of the night doing?"

Mbok Tum hides behind a closet when Jesslyn comes out of the kitchen, about to return to her room. After the sound of the pull of the door lever was closed tightly, then Mbok Tum came out of hiding. Go to the kitchen and check the trash.

"Huh, what is this?"

A pink color map wrapped in clear plastic Mbok Tum has found.

"Don't let this be an important document Mr. Non Jesslyn later accused Non Lilis of eliminating her again!"

Not wanting Lilis to be slandered again, Mbok Tum did not drink. Go straight back to his room and save the file.
