Don't (Blame) Love
SESSION #2 5
After taking a bath and dressed neatly, Quen headed for the kitchen, where he saw his mother helping Lyli prepare breakfast.
"Darling, you've been tidy this early?" greet Clara as she sees Quen sitting at the dining table.
Quen just silently stared at the kitchen listlessly.
Clara approached her teenage daughter with a glass of milk and a plate filled with her homemade egg sanwich bread.
"Mama's son is so moody, huh? What's up?" Clara gently tried to persuade Quen.
"Ma, I feel like brother brubah, he doesn't love Quen anymore, does he?" he asked while holding his chin with both hands.
"Why do you think so? Obviously, no. Brother will continue to love his sister, lah."
"Yesterday see I picked him up no reaction, fitting Quen hug also he was flat like never before, Ma." Quen's eyes looked at Clara seriously.
"Oh, huh? Maybe brother Al is ashamed. Kan you guys big, seen by others will also nimbilin ilfeel you know. Cook you want to ask for a rich sling first?" said Clara half-tempted her purty.
"Ah, Mama!" Quen exclaimed as he picked up the sanwich bun and bit him.
Shortly thereafter came his papa wearing a light blue shirt while putting a watch while draping the original tie around his neck.
Quen memorized the habits of his spoiled papa, and it turned out to be true.
From the end of his eyes he saw his mother vaguely pairing his papa tie, and bringing him breakfast at the dinner table.
"Papa's girl is ready to go?" greet Vano on Quen.
"Yes, Pa. Brother will send," jawan Quen.
" Where's your brother?"
"It's coming down soon, too, Pa."
"Long life, that's Big Brother" said Clara when she saw Al down wearing a dark gray body press shirt with a blend of blue long jeans and wet hair arranged not so neat, but it gives the macho impression.
"We're leaving now, Quen? Al asked while playing the key of the motor in his hand.
"Aren't you having breakfast?"
"Later on, you don't have to eat breakfast this early" replied Al.
"Jude, we're leaving now, yuk." Quen got up while holding his bag.
He said goodbye to his father and mother.
As soon as Quen left, Clara delivered warm tea to Andrean and Andreas who were basking in the back. While Vivian, the clock is like this he usually uses to water the plants in the front yard.
At that time Quen was saying goodbye to his two grandfathers, Clara asked for a water hose from Vivian. Because soon Quen will say goodbye to his grandmother.
Clara and Vivian stood in front of the gate while watching Quen and Al flashing.
"Looking at the two of them, like looking at your teenage years with Vano, Ra."
Unknowingly Vivian muttered.
"But Quen didn't know that Al was his adoptive brother, Ma" Clara argued.
"Yes, right now he doesn't know, if God's going to point him out, make him know, are you going to deny reality?"
"Hopefully, Quen was not disappointed, and remained respectful of Al as her brother forever."
Vivian smiled amusedly, apparently Clara did not understand with maxut of.
"Mama also hopes so," Vivian said with a smile.
"Darling! where are my shoes?"
There was a cry from Vano inside.
"You forgot about your other baby, Ra," Vivian scolded while laughing amusedly.
"Yes, this is Ma. Quen usually goes to school with his dad" said Clara, then ran inside.
"Darling, these are your shoes here!" clara exclaimed while carrying a pair of shiny brown pantopel shoes.
"Well, uda brushed, huh? Thanks to my wife." Vano kissed Clara's right cheek and looked at her with a tender, affectionate look.
"You sit down, gih. I helped put it together," said Clara, starting to bend.
Vano quickly held onto both of Clara's upper arms, holding her back.
"Let me put it up myself" he said with a smile.
After putting his two sponges together, Clara kissed the back of Vano's right hand and gave him her briefcase. Likewise Vano, he did not forget to kiss his wife's forehead every time he wanted to go to work and after.
After her husband left, Clara went back to the kitchen to cook vegetables for breakfast, because her parents used to eat rice for breakfast at eight o'clock, except Andreas, because it was common to live abroad, a slice of bread and coffee is enough until lunch. Just because here gathered with his brother, he returned to being a pure Indonesian who said he had not had breakfast if he did not eat rice.
"Lyli, what are we cooking today?" ask Clara. At her mother's housekeeper.
"So morning Madam asked me to cook the same oxtail soup, Non."
"You poached the tail?"
"yes, it's Non."
"Lyli, please take two bags of ribs in the freeser, soak them in cold water. I'm gonna burn ribs."
"Good, Non."
"Ly, it's been two months like you didn't take a day off at all, don't you miss your family?" clara asked while busy preparing the herbs.
"Don't know me, Non. Sometimes I want to go home to see my parents, but... I will definitely regret it." Lyli said lethargicly, her face also turned moody.
"Kok, can?"
"Yes, I feel at home here, seeing Miss and Den Vano and your mistress and master are good to me, the relationship in this house also reflects the true family, different from at home, he said, my mother and father always make a fuss every day there is a fuss."
"Oh, sorry Ly. You remember something unpleasant in your life" said Clara.
"It's okay, later if I am married, I expect a household like you, always get along, give in to each other and apologize if there is a problem. Seeing Master every morning like that to Miss, I love." The girl showed her sincere smile from her heart.
"I pray that you will find your happiness, choose a man who truly loves you sincerely, not love out of lust" Clara said.
An hour later, they were ready to cook, just serving it on the dining table. While Al has also arrived from taking Quen since.
When Clara finished her bath, she dried her hair with a dlayer day in front of her dresser. She saw the collision of her husband's desk that looked messy, she tidied it after combing her hair.
Suddenly a folded piece of paper fell from among several other documents, out of curiosity, Clara opened the contents.
Clara's heart was seething as she read the handwritten contents of the paper.
'Sir Vano, I'm sorry if I've been so presumptuous to express this feeling, I've been putting my heart on you since I worked as your assistant'
Aldas.
Clara sat down for a moment, she instantly changed her clothes from casual to white out fit with an open shoulder and a dark blue jens suit. Clara immediately grabbed her hand and rushed out.
Under his parents and son, he was waiting for him at the table.
"Where are you going, Clara?" ask Andreas.
"There's a document that Vano lives in, Dad. Looks like it's important, so, Clara wants to drop off first" Clara replied in a lie.
"You didn't have breakfast?" sahut Andrean's.
"No, Pa. He's afraid he'll rush tight and know this doesn't exist, it'll be pity."
"Al interracial, Ma." Al got up from his seat and hurried to Clara.
"Oh, no need, honey. You have breakfast with your grandparents first, mama will be home soon." Clara rushed out. With the driver, he went to the office.
Arrived at Clara's office hurriedly out to Vano's office.
"Sir, you can go home, I can take a taxi later" Clara told Pak Makmur.
"Good, Non." Pak makmur also drove his vehicle to visit his employer's office.
In front of the receptionist, Clara seemed to rush to get into the room Vano.
"Sir Vano is in his room?" ask Clara flat.
"Yes, ma'am, there, it just so happens that he's not having any clients."
"Okay, thanks."
Without knocking on Clara's door immediately opened the door of Vano's room.
Vano who was serious about opening documents in his lap top was really shocked by the arrival of his wife.
"Darling, what brings you here so early?" ask Vano pleased.
But, Vano saw something strange with Clara, she didn't even show her smile, was she angry?"
"Who is that, Alda?" ask Clara to the point.
"He's my assistant, baby, why?"
"I want to see him,"
"Okay, I called him here." Vano also dialed the number from his office phone.
"Alda, come quickly bring me the report last month, right away, yeah." Vano also immediately put the phone handle in place.
Feeling that something was wrong with his wife, he guessed that he was jealous, Vano approached Clara who was still standing in front of his desk.
Without saying anything Vano hugged and tried to kiss Clara even though Clara tried to dodge and push Vano's body.
"No, don't do it!" Clara refused Vano's kiss.
"If I don't want to, how about, honey?" goda Vano while smiling mischievously.
Simultaneously, Alda had already walked in and seen what his big boss was doing inside his room.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry, sir, the report you're asking for" Alda said.
Clara turned to see the girl with the body containing straight hair unraveled waist with mini clothes. Even the skirt she was wearing, would definitely show her inside if she bowed.
Clara rolled her eyeballs feeling nauseous seeing Alda's appearance. This twenty-seven-year-old woman had an elevator with her. And watched him for quite a while.
"Take me off" said Clara, releasing Vano's arms which were coiled around her slender waist.
"You can go, Da, just put it there!" Vano.
After Alda left Vano was still smiling seductively at his wife.
"That's Alda, why are you suddenly asking for him? I'm not going to be tempted by him, my wife is still like ABG, that's it" Vano said, kissing Clara's cheek.
"Alright, move him in another office, find another assistant, if you need a man! If not, fire him."
"Well, let me call the HRD first, baby."
"Reyna, move Alda in the branch office in Bandung, say the mess facility has been provided by the company, if he refuses the meaning out. And Ivan, ask him into my room, tell him he's taking Alda's place" Vano said, turning off his phone.
He pulls Clara in his lap, and tries to ask her what really happened.
"What the hell are you, honey?"
Without answering, Clara took out a piece of paper from inside her bag and gave it to Vano.
Vano seemed to frown, he did not know about this paper. How did Clara get it?
"Where did you get this from, honey?" ask Vano seriously.
"I accidentally saw him fall while tidying up your desk earlier" replied Clara.
"Believe me yes, I won't be back playing with other women, I just love and love you alone." Vano placed Clara's head on the chest of her field.
Vano hugged Clara tightly and closed his eyes enjoying the soft fragrance from his wife's head.
Suddenly there was the sound of Clara's stomach rumbling.
Vano laughed, "You haven't had breakfast, have you?"
"Not yet, look at this I came straight here, just now."
"Yes, make a big apology, let's get breakfast, yuk. Do you want to be in the office cafeteria or outside?"
"I want curry fried rice in the cafeteria" said Clara.
Vano got up and walked out of the room hugging his wife's waist, taking her to the office cafeteria for breakfast.
As long as he walked that happened to cross paths with the employees passing by, all of them stared with gazes of admiration and perhaps also envy.
Only the new employee who thinks the age of the wife of the CEO is about twenty-five to thirty years, but the original is also thirty-seven years.
Perhaps its still spoiled and childish nature to Vano that keeps her beautiful and youthful. To make the women who see it become envious.
"What do you want to drink, honey?" ask Vano after ordering two servings of special curry nagor.
"What yes? Warm oranges are like let the fat fall out" he said with a laugh.
"There is no need to take care of your appearance! Whatever you are, I still love you?"
Clara pinched her husband's arm, embarrassed that when Vano said it was with the canteen maid delivering their order.
"Ouch! How did you pinch the guy, honey?" said Vano grimacing in pain while rubbing his female pinch marks.
"What do you want to drink, Van?" clara asked to switch the conversation.
"We're the same, huh."
"Warm orange two yes, mbak," said Clara, pointing her two fingers at the waiter's canteen, smiling.
As they were enjoying the fried rice a chat message from Vano's phone came in, out of curiosity, Vano pulled out a blue flat object from his shirt pocket.
Curious, Clara asked, "Who are you?"
"Alda," replied Vano briefly.
Without warning Clara grabbed the device from her husband's hand and saw the contents of the message.
'Father moved me because of your wife huh? Naturally you are so loyal and loving to her, she is so beautiful and so young'
As soon as she read the contents of the message from Alda, Clara blushed in embarrassment. Returned the phone to Vano.
"Already, don't think about it, let's eat first to chill the rice."
****
This morning Al was bored without any activities. He sits in the back garden and enjoys a cigarette.
He sucked deeply and blew his smoke into the air until it formed a white puff like a cloud covering his face.
Without him noticing, from across the swimming pool a girl swept her motion.
His gaze was only fixed on Al without a care around, you know the man sitting across from the girl was shocked by the sound of an object falling into the pool.
Without ba bi bu Al immediately jumped into the pool and swam nimbly to help Lyli who accidentally splashed into it.
"Ma... Sorry, Mister. I didn't pay attention around," Lyli stammered as she shifted her body from Al.
Al is still in the pool, while Lyli is sitting by him by the pool.
He only realized that Lyli splashed when sweeping around the pool because he saw a broomstick floating there.
"You don't look anywhere. Yes, change your clothes" said Al, rising from the pool.
"Hey, what are you two doing? how wet!" andreas shouted from the back door.
Lyli was confused by his pale face, he just looked down, not daring to look at his master.
"Come on! Nothing's gonna happen." Al extended his hand to Lyli who was still sitting.
With hesitation Lyli received Al's hand, her heart grew less and less
Abysmally. In fact, if he could choose, he would choose to faint.
