Falling Into Your Trap
Visit Noren

Chet Baker's song – You are mine, you! The plaza was so confident in a large, quiet room, inhabited by only one person and usually had barely a single noise before this. It seemed, the owner of the residence was being too happy to make music. Judging from how the song was continuously played for a full ten minutes.

The new year is like having a new spirit in each person. Similarly, the figure of Noren the homeowner who is now relaxing with white wine in his hand. Sitting on a shady balcony with a view over the clouds from the penthouse position he lived in, Noren muttered following the song's flowing lyrics.

His eyes closed enjoying the atmosphere and also the song, choosing to dissolve in the cradle of music that now focuses on his sense of hearing. His empty fingers moved to follow the melody, making the movement of pressing piano keys like a reliable pianist.

Morning is still blind, the sun is still left behind a dark cloud that is not ready to be illuminated by the warmth of the morning sun. Most people prefer to drown under their warm blanket and struggle on a soft mattress, lulled in a beautiful dream.

Even so, Noren had plenty of energy to open his eyes and enjoy the sweet white wine on his tongue as he took a sip. Letting the moist breeze bring the morning dew cradling his face and strands of hair that are still untidy, no matter to tidy up the little things.

His mood is very good. His heart was still pounding with a thump that he could feel up to his palm with his ears that were also able to feel the count of the beat ringing.

Knowing that he had only fallen asleep for three hours after the turn of the year, the energy generated by Noren's body and spirit ignored the lack of sleep. Ready to welcome a new day in a new year.

His lips were drawn into a grin as the music reached its end, preparing to play back the same song. When the first note entered in a tap that went hand-in-hand with the wobble of the wine liquid in his right hand, Noren's eyes opened slowly.

The glass of wine he brought stuck to his lips, gulping down its contents. Noren was satisfied, measured by how the man sighed afterwards.

Some time ago after that night was a long time. But Noren finds himself not distracted. Noren often thought that time was going so slowly. But right now, he was never more than satisfied when he sensed that time was jumping like an agile squirrel. So fast moving from day to day.

Four weeks away is her wedding with a mooring of her heart and her first love. He had never been this happy to miss another day that he had once claimed to be boring. In fact now, counting down to the sacred time of his dreams invites a strange adrenaline reaction on him. Noren doesn't complain because in reality he's having a lot of fun.

Standing up, Noren chose to immediately enter the room. Putting the empty wine glass in the sink, he went to hurry to clean himself.

Her lips still muttered cheerfully, it felt even wider when she saw the display of her beautiful collection and shone from the reflection of the sunlight that she had currently woken up to show her beauty.

“Good morning my beautiful.”

Noren smiled in an overwhelmed manner as he pulled the wooden part of the closed shelf that was intentional, making the beauty of his collection's masterpiece display appear so majestic and luxurious before his eyes.

There, the cheap little fox doll looks so luxurious in a box full and beautiful. Decorations in such a way with floodlights that are suitable to accentuate the grinning figure of a fox and bright orange reddish on the fur.

It was a gift Lisa gave when they were playing the claw machine at that time. Still there as if the doll is a rare and luxurious item that has a high selling value. Noren looked at her satisfiedly after stroking the surface of the cold glass box. Surrounding it there are many displays and decorations consisting of Lisa's favorite dandelion. Noren is crazy, but he's crazy for his love for Lisa.

There was another one lying on the side of the cheesy fox that was transformed into a luxurious rare fox. It was still Noren's favorite. It was a display that contained the figure of Lisa's statue holding a dandelion in her hand, while a small field of dandelions and a shady tree surrounded them. If Noren wiggles them, then it will create an effect like a ball of sajlu, the difference is, the flakes are not snow, but beautiful and shiny dandelion seeds.

The first love and first beatings he felt for a Nalisa - who will be his wife at the end of this month.

“Still beautiful as always” Noren muttered, stroking her beautiful collection very carefully.

“Today I miss Lisa. So, your papa doain is here to meet your mama candidates, huh?” He chuckles later.

“Your mom seems to be very shocked because Papa lamar suddenly until she does not want to pick up the phone or reply to papa's message. So, today Papa will comein your mama to escape miss”

Noren laughed with great pleasure. He had no problem with his head saying that he had gone mad from talking to inanimate objects. But she was happy because her little monologue added to the seeds of confidence that grew fuller over time.

Now, she's going to clean up to visit Lisa's house. Although the woman completely ignored him after a long night with their family - Noren was not discouraged. Lisa's reaction was exactly what she had imagined. But Noren catches it as a little cuteness from his adorable woman.

So, Noren ignores everything that states that Nalisa rejected him.

Rejection means he has to go even harder. Noren is a person who is not easily desperate in his way. He will keep going until whatever it is falls into his hands and he can have it as full as he wants.

Noren will always be the winner at the end of the day. Her pride was too high to be only broken by Lisa's ineffective reaction.

“You are mine, you~” Noren started singing as his feet stepped to head for the bathroom. The music was still on, raising his already happy feeling as high as the clear sky in the morning.

“You belong to me, you

I will never free you

You're here with me to stay”

Lo-fi's song accompanies an air shower rinsing Noren's body. The whisper Noren makes to continue the song's lyrics, blending with the rush of warm water cradling his sensitive skin in the morning.

“You're mine, you

You are mine completely

Love me strong or sweetly

I need you night and day”

“I own you, Nalisa”

...….....

The clock shows the number 9.07 when Noren arrived at Lisa's residence. It was quiet, as if the residents of the housing complex were on vacation with families in their respective areas. Or, altogether spend the available vacation time to just rest in their respective homes. Utilize rare holidays to just laze around.

Noren confidently parked his car in front of Lisa's fence. Down to press the bell located next to the white gate with a luxurious size, confidently confident that he would open the door and be welcome to enter like the previous times.

Pressing the bell patiently, Noren remained waiting. Also, if no one wanted to make a move to let her in, she could have just called Huston to ask her daughter to welcome her.

Luckily, he did not have to wait too long to get the attention of the homeowner. Noren raised his eyebrows as Sinar who greeted him at the door. Still with his pillow face, his best friend who now still has a cold relationship with him squinted from the sunlight that shone his eyes suddenly.

Noren laughed inside, he was eager to tease his best friend who had a habit of continuing to sleep as much as possible when getting a day off. Convinced that Sinar just woke up.

“Anti, sleepyhead. Quickly you also wake up to welcome me, ya” Noren said, laughing when Sinar looks like a deer at a red light.

“Lo why come here?” The light growled as consciousness struck him.

Noren smiled, knocking on the iron fence asking to be opened.

“Not make sure lo nemuin” Noren said, still tapping the iron fence with a light knock. “Bukain dong fence, I want to enter. Important because” he continued later.

“Lo cannot enter. Coming home, I'm sick of seeing lo”'s sarcastic face quickly. Sinar's movement implies that he will return to the house.

“Gue does not want to squirm your face as well. I don't care if you're still in a cold war with me or anything. I already know your parents if today I want to come to see Lisa” Noren lying, of course. It was a simple trick to fool the Rays as usual.

“If I am not allowed in, I can just call your father to ask permission again. Tell him that his eldest son bothers me to meet my future wife” Noren mocking, showing off his phone for a more real bluff.

Noren could see how Ray's face was hardened. His fists were heavy and he looked at the veins that indicated that he was clenching with all his might. Noren still raised both eyebrows to keep attacking. It took a few more seconds for the Light to finally give up.

Grinning like a fidelity, Noren steps his legs to move into Lisa's yard. Leaving the Light behind who was trying to neutralize the emotions of the morning. Noren is a little sad for his best friend for starting the new year with such emotions.

“Basic jerk!”

Noren heard Sinar growl, but he knew that the man could do nothing but comply with his request. Rays were quite stupid and weak in this situation and Noren was happy with his situation.

“Oh? Is Noren here? Very early morning?”

It was a welcome from Jihan. The unexpected person she wanted to see at Lisa's residence. His eyes blinked for a moment before gaining knowledge of where the woman came from. Not only Jihan was there, but other children who joined Lisa's small group were also present. Not to be left behind Alpino who looked at him confused and curious. They must have had a new year party last night.

“On the morning, Jihan” Noren smiled, patting the woman on the shoulder with those narrowed eyes before it passed to pass her. Choosing to follow her instinct to see Lisa still lying on Alpino's lap on the lounge sofa.

“E-eh, there's a Noren lo bang. Where last night? How come dateng?”

Alpino's voice was awkward, but his movements were careful not to disturb Lisa who was still asleep. There was displeasure and a wave of anger as well as jealousy that engulfed Noren. He wants to be angry because his possession is with a person who must be a strong candidate to snatch Lisa from him. But he has to be patient. He was not a rash person, so Noren chose to drown his ugly feelings backward.

“Oh last night can not come because there is another event with family. Biasa” Noren smile. Of course he lied. No one invited him to a new year party and he knew himself why it was happening.

“Oh that is yes. whereas it was a really exciting malem, bang” Alpino said again, trying to sound better and familiar.

Noren squatted down to see Lisa closer. Alpino does not move, as is restraint. Noren is happy with that. Her hands moved to get rid of Lisa's hairline that was blocking her from her sleepy innocent face. Noren smiled with a warm heart.

“Eh but you surely already know ‘kan if Hala same bang Sinar sohan, bang? Yes just make sure you do not miss the news even though your malem did not come with” Alpino who was awkward turned out to have a big mouth when he panicked.

Noren surprised. Turning around to see the Light still standing on the door leaf to watch her, Noren gave a look asking like, ‘swear? There is also a far cry from your development. Want my steps, yes?’-, which is reciprocated Ray with a flat face and hard. Still staring at him like he's a pest in the room.

Noren fools about it and returns to notice the love of his life.

“Sure, dong. I also congratulated Sinar. I'm not sure if people like him dare to forward” the story with sarcas.

“Hah? Intent-“

“What time did Lisa sleep?”

Ignoring the strange questions from Alpino, she prefers to focus on Lisa. The beautiful plain face before him made Noren eager to give a light kiss there to wake his woman up.

“Ngak long ‘kok. Around 3 o'clock, his son sat up. It was about 7 o'clock when I woke up. But sleeping again after breakfast a little bit” again, the sound of Alpino that explains makes Noren a bit irritated.

“Lisa seems sad again, so I let her use my thigh as a pillow. Though ‘kan my thigh hard like a rock. Nih child can still sleep soundly gini.surprisingly I” then there is laughter. Noren's getting pissed.

“Yaudah, here let me take it to the room, yes. Let him wake up not hurt his neck” with the final decision, Noren immediately moved to lift the body of Nalisa who was still unconscious.

However, Lisa woke up as soon as her hand touched the woman's shoulder. With eyes still drowsy from the fog, Noren could see how shocked Lisa was when she managed to get a picture of how close their faces were. Lisa, at the speed of light though she was not yet fully conscious, immediately pushed Noren and jumped off Alpino's lap. His face was flushed, anger was clearly on display.

“Lo why would I be a jerk?!”

He screamed with such a loud voice. Attention to every head in the house. In fact, Hala and Fajri who were in a different room also thronged approaching the source of the sound.

“Sayang.” Noren said, Lisa looks ready to hit him with a blow.

“Diem lo! Diem!” Lisa shouted again. The other daughter immediately approached Lisa. Alpino even jumped from his seat immediately.

“Lisa.. lo why?”

“Lis, relax first..”.

The soothing sound of her panicked friends did not necessarily make Lisa calm. The woman instead put away the hand that was trying to hold her in place in order to be so rudely aware.

“Lo from before me! I am tired of being the same! I don't want to squirm your face! Go!”

With a single stomp of her feet, Noren was left flabbergasted as Lisa ran towards the top floor where her room was. His eyes followed Lisa's back which disappeared behind the door. Noren was silent for a moment before sighing heavily. He should have known that his meeting with Lisa again would be like this.

“Kak Noren.. Lisa why?” Hala carefully asked, but the woman was instantly drawn in by Sinar to avoid an insignificant conversation with him.

“I told you, mending lo go home now” the cold voice of Sinar again knocked on Noren's already cold heart.

The man with a sky-high ego rolled his eyes, before pushing the body of Light away from him.

“Lo has no right to tell me to leave here. I'm the same Lisa will be married soon, so I will not go home until I chat with Lisa today about the schedule of fitting our clothes”

With one nasty cry at Sinar and everyone shocked to witness the unnecessary early morning drama, Noren may soon follow in Lisa's footsteps.

Vaguely, Noren could hear Alpino muttering something that sounded heartbreaking, but he did not care about the insignificant person in his life.

So, Noren immediately climbed the stairs and looked for Lisa's room. It is easy to find out how a cutely decorated door hanger hangs upside down there, the result of Lisa slamming the door hard.

Neutralizing his once turbulent emotions, Noren sighed deeply. Trying to get her composure before she starts speaking up to persuade Lisa.

“Lisa. I know you're still mad at me. But please, can't we just talk to each other for a second, huh? I miss you, dear”

His voice is made as sweet as possible. He approached and knocked on Lisa's bedroom door with a light knock. Hope Lisa will be moved to listen to him.

But what he wanted was not as easy as what he thought. Lisa slammed something into the bedroom door. A few things fell down and an angry growl led Lisa to tell him.

“Gue says, scram! I don't want to squirm here, yeah, asshole! Mending lo go!”

Grunting, Noren would naturally not listen to what Lisa wanted if the man had to leave Lisa's house.

“Honey.. don't do that, okay? Take it easy first, will you? Can we talk all right? Come out first..” He tried again to melt Lisa's heart. But all he got was the mockery and more and more unpleasant screams from Lisa.

It seemed that his future wife was in a state of hysterics and shock. Noren should be able to calm himself down. He couldn't talk to Lisa if it was like this. So, Noren stopped talking for a while. Fearful Lisa who just woke up with surprise earlier will be in trouble. Not to mention, surely his head would hurt as he jumped just like that as consciousness approached him.

“Gue says, go. I can't squirm without disgust!” Lisa spit again. Noren is silent.

Long enough to keep Lisa calm. It may not be the shortest time but it is also not the longest time. The woman is still angry. No matter how much time Noren gives Lisa, there will be no peace from her for her.

Self-conscious, he knows. He forced Lisa to be his. But what else can he do? He loved her until it was hard to breathe. At least, she can take Lisa for herself even though as selfish as it sounds, she gets what she wants in this already broken life.

“Sayang.”

“DIEM!”

Noren sighed again and again.

“Nalisa.. let's talk, yes?”

“GUE DON'T WANT TO!”

The screams get louder.

Noren's heart ached hearing how unwilling Lisa was to be with him. There are various ways he has done to melt the heart of the woman. It had been quite a lot of energy and effort that she put in to say and show Lisa how great a feeling she had for the woman.

There are enough things she does and she treats the only woman she loves. But what does he get now? Rejection is raw and treated like a disgusting pest.

Had enough. Noren's furious.

She was not happy with how Lisa treated her. His heart grew cold again and he refrained from hitting the door with all his might. Lisa would be even more frightened if she let go of all her anger at the woman.

So he was silent a fraction of the time. Choosing a good way to soak up all the blue pain of his heart.

It took another second of his effort to swallow all his ugly emotions that were eating him, Noren finally said;

“You wherever you are, you will still be mine and the wedding will continue. Like it or not, you will be my wife. My possession. I will be spreading the invitation sooner or later and I don't care about anything you sellin”

Closing his eyes tightly, Noren immediately turned around. Doesn't want to linger showing his rudeness to the woman he loves.

“Gue wait lo on our contract tangal 30 and I'm sure you are there for me”

And with that, Noren chose to go home.
