Athena and Axel actually came to Raihan's house. The author with a myriad of awards left his laptop when he heard the sound of the beating of shoes walking on a wooden bridge towards his yard. A wooden house with natural shades but very luxurious.
To reach a more villa-like home, Axel and Athena passed through a path with vegetation on the left right of the road. The quiet and natural atmosphere of the house is indeed very suitable for a writer. The sound of Axel and Athena's shoes, immediately teased the man who was cool to press the keys on his keyboard.
As usual, we were not at the door. Raihan has welcomed his guests who came. Opening the double door made of teak wood was wide.
"Yet you come too" Raihan said, welcoming Athena and Axel.
They were very surprised because Raihan had known of their arrival when they had not had time to knock on the door. Raihan pointed to the wooden bridge and the wooden terrace floor they had just stepped on.
"They went beyond the doorbell, told me sooner before you knocked on the door" Raihan replied. Athena gaped and laughed immediately.
"It was very sharp hearing Raihan," said Athena.
"That's because I'm used to silence" replied Raihan.
"Well," said Athena laughing in admiration, seeing that Axel smiled.
Raihan was very happy with their arrival. Raihan also felt Axel's presence when Athena came to his house even though she could not see him. Now the author can see firsthand the face of the man Raihanna once told her in her dreams.
"We finally met in person. Do you still want to match me to Athena?" ask Raihan and laugh.
Axel was stunned and laughed. Axel believes the author is teasing him for once advising Athena to choose Raihan as her life partner. Luckily, Raihan refused.
"I rejected Athena for your sake. I want to accept it" Raihan said.
"What's? Wh-what?" axel asked doubtfully.
Raihan turned to Athena who was cool to see Raihan's books and also his reading books. Athena's admiration never decreases every time she looks at the awards received by Raihan. Athena turned her head towards the two handsome men. Both of them turned their faces away. Athena was astonished.
"Who can resist a beautiful and kind girl like her? The person is sincere, willing to go to great lengths to help people. He even risked his safety to help. You must be sorry every time you push him with another man" Raihan said.
"Yes, as good as any man will be together. I don't think he's going to be good enough for Athena" Axel said.
"You point to yourself. Only people who love sincerely feel that way. Feeling that nothing is appropriate for loved ones, including himself," explained Raihan.
"Hmm, I make her cry a lot" Axel said.
"Therefore you feel yourself unworthy of him but do not feel willing to be with other men. I ... was like that to Hanna too but she always said to me, whether she cried or laughed, she was happy with me" explained Raihan.
Axel smiled at Raihan's words. The man nodded in understanding. Athena just like Raihanna was very loyal to her love. Whether that love makes him happy or sad.
"You're fine looking after him, he's a man who's willing to put himself in danger to help people. Even though it is a person who is not in his tribe," said Raihan.
"What's? What does that mean?" ask Axel.
"You don't know? Athena's a man who doesn't like to hold grudges ...."
"Yes, that's I don't like. Her first boyfriend was very mean to her but still forgiven and believed in her. I don't like Athena's nature like that" Axel said firmly but Raihan laughed instead.
"If it is, you don't dislike Athena's nature but because you're still jealous of her" Raihan said, laughing.
Athena came to them immediately. The girl was curious about their conversation. However, once visited, the two handsome guys actually fell silent.
"Well, how quiet? Gosipin me again, huh?" ask Athena.
The two handsome men remained silent. Axel instead took a novel on the table to distract him. Raihan also pretended to be busy cleaning his desk.
"Who's talking to people?" ask Axel.
We were talking about you, inner Axel and Raihan.
Athena was upset by herself. Raihan laughed and invited his guests to lunch together. Athena jumped in excitement.
"You're the one cooking?" ask Axel.
Athena straightened her lips. Not that Athena did not want to cook, not that the girl was lazy but Athena and the kitchen had been enemies since childhood. If Athena enters the kitchen, there's just a problem. Scratched knife, doused in hot vegetables, broken dishes even so trigger fire. Since then, Mama Athena has not allowed her daughter to enter the kitchen.
"The goddess Athena was indeed the Goddess of War. The kitchen was also used as a war arena with him," said Mama Athena confided in her husband who laughed at her wife's story.
Athena grinned when she heard Axel's request. Athena was willing to be told to do anything, but it would usually cause trouble. Axel smiled at the girl who seemed hesitant. In his heart, Axel did not seriously ask him to cook.
"The Goddess Athena. Let me prepare our lunch Ok!" axel.
Hearing Axel wanting to cook lunch for them, Athena gaped. Axel's distraught look at those mouth-watering lips opened. Looking towards Raihan who was busy removing food ingredients to cook.
Directly pulled Athena in his arms and sucked her tongue in that gaped mouth. Athena surprised. After Axel took off his kiss, Athena turned to Raihan.
"Shame" whispered Athena.
"Your own fault? Why fishing, make me lust," said Axel.
"Oh, who's fishing? Obviously I'm here and I'm told, "Atena answered and laughed. Axel laughed too.
Seeing the behavior of the two lovers, the look on Raihan's face turned moody. Athena immediately elbowed Axel's waist. The man was silent too. In their hearts, Raihan must have remembered his good times with Raihanna.
"Sorry Brother," Axel told Raihan as they were busy preparing the ingredients.
"For what?" ask Raihan.
"Our attitude is not polite" Axel said.
"You think I'm mad?" ask Raihan.
"Okay, maybe sad? Remembering Brother Hanna?" ask Axel.
While they prepared the cooking together. Athena was asked to sit in a reclining chair while reading a book of her choice. The girl was forbidden to enter the kitchen because it would only disturb the two handsome guys cooking.
"It's not because of that" replied Raihan.
"Not that? Then why?" ask Axel.
"I'm sad for you guys" said Raihan.
"What does Raihan mean? Why are you sad for us?" ask Axel.
"That's it, it's okay! Let's cook," Raihan said with a smile.
Axel was stunned, but ended up following Raihan's words. They cook food for lunch together. They cook while talking about everything. Sometimes argue. Axel is a genius and Raihan is smart, they maintain their respective opinions, then decided to look for other talking materials. It's always like that. Axel and Raihan's hearts feel close to each other.
