Don't (Blame) Love
SESION 2 PART 86

Quen rubbed his eyes a few times, seeing that the maroon love-shaped alarm clock was showing at twenty-thirty minutes. It's less than half an hour to get Alex home.

With heavy steps the woman went to the bathroom to refresh the body. Afterwards, she went straight to the kitchen while tying her original hair.

There he saw the mbok Darmi was busy cooking something.

"Mistress," greeted the fifty-year-old woman with a friendly smile.

"That's, Mbok cooks, what?" quen asked as he glanced at the pot covered with the lid of the stenlis.

"That's vegetable soup, ma'am," replied mbok Darmi.

Quen felt uncomfortable in being called a mistress. But, it's a fact that she's Alex's mistress, isn't she?

"Mbok, just call Quen, I don't feel good to be called that" Quen said, laughing awkwardly.

"Oh, yes no manners dong, Nyah. I'm not ordinary," replied mbok Darmi with full humility.

"Don't that, I used to be in my house, calling him that too. Mr. Alex won't get mad and fuss over the call. Hasn't Darmi been working here for a long time? Since Alex Junior High, right?"

"Haduuh, what, huh? Yeah, well, if that's just calling me Quen's mom, huh?" answer mbok darmi sumringah.

"Well, that's fine, too" replied Quen.

Quen saw the cooked mbok darmi new vegetable soup. He opened the freezer to take out one fish dori filet and then soak it in cold water.

As he coolly prepared the seasoning, while mbok darmi washed the dirty furniture, the sound of the bell sounded.

"Mbok, please this, huh? Let me open the door. Must be Alex." Quen ran a little.

When the door opened, it was not Alex who came. Unless there's a guest from his high school friend. I don't know who he's looking for. He came alone and immediately smiled warmly when he saw Quen.

"Helena, how are you? Yuk, in!" Saru Quen hugged and kissed each other on her left cheek and right cheek.

Helena came in and sat down. "I'm here to drop off my birthday invitations for you. In mama, Alex?" The girl took out a pink invitation from her bag and handed it to Quen.

"Alex, he's still not home. But, take it easy, she'll be home soon." Quen accepted the invitation and opened the contents.

"He's gym-going?"

"No, he is now a lecturer at our university studying first" Quen replied with a laugh.

Long live, he was just talked about. It seems to have come. Without pressing the bell and knocking on the door, he opened it himself and was a little surprised to find who was inside his house.

"Well, there it is! Honey, have you arrived?" greet Quen, take the briefcase and go and keep it in the room. But, Alex is holding back. Quickly the burly hand grabbed Quen's waist holding him and sending a kiss on his forehead and lips.

Quen pushed Alex's body with a smile. He felt sad and unpleasant to be seen by Helena.

"You guys do it first, I'll get you a drink, okay?" without Alex's approval, the woman goes on a run. Quen made a drink for quite a while, I don't know what he gave to his guests.

When Quen returned with a jam containing two glasses of red guava juice and a few snacks he was surprised to hear the talk of Helena and Alez. He cannot continue his sentence. As if inside his neck like someone was suffocating him, his stifled voice could not come out.

"Hele, all dinner together ka.." Quen's body felt stiff and frozen at that moment.

"You didn't officially cut ties with me, Lex. You said we were just breaking. But, but, what do I get? You're married to Quen? Don't you know how crazy I was back then until I was in shock and pinching on top of the guarantee? How not? Coming home from Singapore you told me and agreed we'd come in for a reception together but, you can't be reached. When I arrived you sat down as his bridegroom. Did you do that when you didn't think about how I was, Lex? You're a man, there's no way Quen knows how many times you've played with women. But me? Just once with you. Furthermore, men will also know that I am no longer a virgin. You just let me be a secondhand." Isaac Helena.

Quen was surprised to hear the words of the woman who was talking to her husband. He covered his mouth with his hand until he forgot that the tray in his hand was quite heavy. It cannot be raised with the other hand. As a result, the object fell and made a crisp sound that ranying.

"Sorry, I'm not careful. Let me clean up, you guys go on!" Exclaimed Quen while running into the backyard.

Alex doesn't care about Helena. He was busy chasing Quen and looking for him.

Quen himself hid behind the walls of the gardener's bed. He cried while covering his mouth with both hands so as not to make a sound.

"Yes god. I should have accepted this with a calm heart. Isn't this fair? I'm married to Alex and I'm no longer a virgin. But, why did when I heard Helena say that my heart ached?" inner Quen. Her tears were flowing uncontrollably.

"Quen! Where are you, baby?" yell Alex.

Hening~~~ no answer.

Alex kept going, stalking the backyard. He's sure Quen didn't get out of here. Because as soon as gia ran out, he immediately rushed after her.

Quen kept sobbing. Hearing Alex's voice his heart just hurt. I don't know how sick he can't understand and explain it.

Alex continued to step until he arrived near the gardener's room, he saw Quen sitting folding his two lutu leaning against the wall and hiding his face behind his hands while hugging his legs.

Slowly Alex approached Quen and crouched down, carefully stroking Quen's back.

"I'm sorry."

Quen still did not respond, he still hid his face.

"Will I explain. Before I got close to you Helena was already chasing me. But, I ignored it. I'm just focusing on you. But with you I feel something different. There's this weird feeling of always wanting to take care of you so I never do anything more than hold your hand, and that's what I do to show the world that you belong to me. Another case with others, it is easy to give his body to me for free. But, I only did it with Helena back then. Because I know, he's never been close to any lekai but me. Well, the point is that he's just putting out my lust, Quen. I've been honest with you, if you hate me from now on, whatever, you can hate and be angry. But please don't ignore me like this or leave me, I beg you, Quen."

"I'm not angry with you, thanks for the honesty. Your past has nothing to do with me, and vice versa. I'm sorry about that, huh?" Quen tried to smile while looking at Alex.

Alex was stunned for a moment to see his woman crying over him. Even trying to smile. He held her hands and wiped the tears and hugged her.

"I'm wrong, I'm sorry, okay?" alex whispered as he clenched tightly onto Quen's body.

While Helena was already bored waiting in the living room alone. It had been almost thirty minutes for the owner of the house, and no one came back to see him. Finally he decided to just leave.

             🍁 🍁 🍁

It's been two weeks since Vico broke up with Lyli. Making it formal like people who do not know each other, hospitality is no longer found in the man's face, let alone his joke-joke as before. If Vico's there's a need with Al, he's just right away waiting where he might not see the girl again.

In the back garden Al and Vico were cool to chat out of what, which was clear both of them looked cool and were divided into each other.

Clara approached them while carrying her own homemade snacks.

"It's bad you guys! Chat what?"

"Eh, there's aunty, huh? No tan, no aunt's business."

"Vico, sorry. Not to interfere, another fight with Lyli, huh? How come this week auntie saw you guys shut up?"

"We broke up aunt. Let it. He doesn't want to be serious. Decided to me when I proposed to her, so, no need to be brought up, not a woman like that?"

"Curhat, nih, yeeee," said Al while eating snake onion made by his mother.

Clara laughed, and pampered back into "Hahaha, yes already. You guys go on, mama's going inside first. Vico had dinner with us, huh?"

As soon as Clara had entered the two young men, she resumed her chatter and laughed out loud again.
