Forgive Me Both
In Between Home

"Tumben Neng Vani is here?" The security guard at the post stood up and opened the door for Vani. The man, who had served the family for more than twenty years, closed the gate again after confirming Vani's entrance.

"Yes, today I changed Minah for a while, sir." Vani forced a smile, even though his heart did not want to do so. Vani just wants to quickly leave his house because the mood that since morning has been bad by the behavior of his in-laws and sister-in-law.

"What time does Mr Renan usually leave for work, sir?" The woman spoke again, because Vani forgot to ask Minah at that time about what time her employer used to go to work. Actually Vani was just afraid of being late and not having time to prepare food for him.

"It's usually 8 o'clock, Neng."

Vani smiles with relief, meaning there is still time to make breakfast for Mr. Renan.

Not wanting to delay any more time Vani rushed inside. Pass through the door, then head to the kitchen and immediately plan what he will cook this morning.

The atmosphere of the house is indeed quiet because the employer only lives alone. Although Vani had heard that Mr. Renan had a wife and a child, but I don't know where they are now. Vani only knows if his parents live out of town taking care of his family's business there.

Vani immediately opened the refrigerator to pick up cooking ingredients. He even forgot Bik Minah's message that his employer never had breakfast rice in the morning. The woman intended to make fried rice which is fairly easy and fast to make.

But, just as Vani reached out, her movements suddenly came to a halt when she heard a male voice from behind,

"You must be Vani, right?" A man's voice made the woman's heart almost jump out. Hurriedly Vani turned his body and faced the man standing behind him.

"Eh, good morning, sir." Vani is embarrassed. The body tapers slightly away as the master draws closer to him.

His heart rate is racing very fast. Reflex, Vani closed his eyes. Vani thought the man named Renan wanted to touch her, visible as his hand suddenly moved towards Vani's face. In fact, he had mistaken.

Oh my God .. it turns out like this Mr. Renan's face. Not denied Vani is made fascinated by his good looks.

With this close distance Vani can see the work of God is almost perfect. A sharp nose, a firm jaw that is covered with fine feathers on both sides, and a gaze as sharp as an eagle looks very stunning.

"Why you?" Renan's voice again broke the woman's daydream. Vani misbehaved himself. Though Renan just wanted to take the cold water in the refrigerator.

"It's okay, sir." Forced lying. In fact, his face was almost hidden to the bottom of the earth because he was very embarrassed.

Holy hooch! what was I thinking about? Vani screamed in his heart.

"Bik Minah told you, right? If you can't get in today?"

"Yes, Sir. Minah called me last night" replied Vani awkwardly.

Renan looks to be nodding. The man then held a glass containing white water away from the kitchen. Vani himself was still in shock. He was glued to where he was standing while his gaze was still forward, towards where his master had gone and disappeared from sight.

After making sure all the work is done, then Vani prepared to go home soon. Vani stepped into the room reserved for her, entered and tidied up before finally stepping again and snatching her bag on the table.

As usual Vani waited for public transportation in front of the gate owned by his employer's house. Because today work alone, so the clock home a little late. But Vani had nothing to worry about because this morning she had asked her husband for permission, and Faisal himself allowed it.

Almost fifteen minutes Vani waited, not a single public transport passing in front of him. Until finally the black luxury car came. Vani knew it was his employer's car.

"Handsome." Once again Vani whispered. But after realizing his error earlier, he quickly hit his lips, and,

"www ....!" Vani screeched when it was all because of his own hands.

"You haven't come home yet, Van?" Whether when the man came down, Renan was already standing in front of Vani.

"No, Sir. I'm waiting for public transport" Vani answered honestly.

Renan nodded. His eyes looked around the surroundings that had started to quiet. Then the man glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"What if I drop off?" haggle Renan to the woman.

For a moment Vani froze. If in between, what will the assessment of the neighbors be? Especially if her mother-in-law finds out, the scolding may not stop until next year.

But, if you refuse, at least there are only taxis that still pass. Not stingy, but Vani just wants to save money, measuring the money that only lives in the bag.

"Where, Van? Want me to drop off?" Renan's voice was heard. Vani is at war with his own mind. Between taking a taxi or agreeing to an offer from his employer.

After further ado, finally Vani is willing to be in between as well. Not bad, the cost of taking public transportation can be used for other purposes, said Vani in his heart.

The car drove towards the address Vani had told you about earlier. They were both silent, no one had any intention of opening the conversation. Until finally the car stopped right in front of the gate of the complex where Vani lived.

"Thank you, sir." Vani twisted the body, stepping past the gate of the complex with light steps. While Renan's car still looks not moving from its place. I don't know what that guy did in there.

But just a few steps, again what Vani thought was not missed. A group of mothers who were sitting talking to each other suddenly turned their attention to him. One of them–pun tease him blatantly.

"Ciyeee ... Who is it?" ledek one of them.

Vani is cursing my own stupidity. Why did not ask to be dropped a bit far from this housing complex? Or, at least he had prepared a reasonable reason to give them, especially to his mother-in-law and Faisal later.

Thinking, and thinking, Vani finally decided to answer the question as calmly as possible.

"That was my master, ma'am. It just so happens to be passing by around here, so all of you offer me a ride." Vani is forced to lie a little to find safety.

"Ah, who is, Van? But, he's handsome too huh? Uh, by the way is married yet, Van?" Vani gave the wrong reason. Should have just said if the man was just an online taxi driver he rented.

But, wait? Why does she know that Mr. Renan is handsome? Did they also see him when the man opened the windshield?

"Yes, I'm sorry, ma'am. Tired, take a break." Vani just chose to leave. Not run away, but just lazy to serve the endless talk of mothers.

"Titip say hi, Van, to your employer!" Vani heard again the screams of one of the mothers from back there.

"Basic, ganjen!"
