Hansa & Geeta
Chapter XX

“Remove every corner of this house that you kotori.”

I'm waist-racked. He told her to do this and that. Geeta with a sad face.

“Basic, left home last night so it's like this. Should I not sleep?”

Geeta who was cleaning the floor with a cloth turned around and looked at me.

He stroked his stomach. “Live, Iaa, par!” Then point to the fridge.

My eyes twitch. Trying to digest his words. “Ah, are you hungry because look at the refrigerator?” many ensure.

Geeta nodded quickly. “Aaang! Aaang!!”

Covering my mouth with one hand, I nodded in understanding. So apparently yes.

“You will never be full?”

Geeta tilts her head. “Yang?”

I'm patting. “Iya. You're that greedy. Eaters all. Look at the built-in refrigerator pegen eat. Aye right?”

He gawked, only to realize his actions. ‘What am I so?’ his expression seemed to say that.

I grunt. “ Anyway, later I will make a meal schedule for you. Don't protest! Let you be disciplined.”

Geeta looked at me reluctantly. But he realized he couldn't argue.

The house was clean at twelve. Right at lunchtime. My stomach has been rumbling since I didn't eat breakfast.

But, there are no food ingredients left. I bit my lip, that thing. He's gonna kill me, right?

“Geeta, stay home. I'm going to buy food.”

Nimblely Geeta held my leg. “Aaaannng!!!”

She shook her head. Ask me not to go.

“Come on, I'm hungry half dead. You're good at eating like-man.”

Geeta still did not let go of her embrace at my feet. I sighed resignedly.

“Good, baiklaah. Let go of me first,” said I relented.

Geeta let go of her embrace and stood up. “Aaang...”.

Looks like he wants to apologize. I look, if I look into his eyes, my heart softens.

“Iya, whatever. I ordered online only.”

I want to buy it myself to save. What can I do? He whines like a child. Make a fuss.

“But remember!” I turned around and held my index finger in front of his face.

“Tomorrow, I still have to go out to buy groceries. You won't be able to hold me.”

The light in Geeta's eyes dimmed. He was in tears.

Hahh, why cry anyway. “T-As far as you want to cry what. Anyway, tomorrow I won't give it up.”

Thirty minutes passed, my food arrived.

“I don't think this house will be occupied again. Mas new occupant?”

My hand holding the money stopped. I looked at the food delivery guy.

“Oh, masnya stay in this area?”

He's nodding. “Iya, I'm in the village across there. If the area here mah, expensive, the land is relieved-relieved,” kekehnya.

I'm nodding. After paying, the food deliveryman's expression changed.

He was surprised, then looked at me with a strange smile.

“Young couple yes, mas?”

“What?” I was silent, for a moment I forgot Geeta who was inside the house.

I quickly turned around and found Geeta waiting for me in the front doorway.

Our eyes met and he waved his hand with a bright smile.

Ahhhh!!! Why is he out?!

“A-ah, the..” I stammered for an excuse.

“I think mas live alone. Abis looks like he is still young,” cut food delivery.

I didn't know what to say until the delivery man left.

Looks like Geeta can't stay here. There could be a lot of misunderstandings, and if Aunt Dinan knows…

I don't know what's gonna happen.

...…...

“Geeta.”

Geeta looked at me with the mouth of the sauce. I ordered pizza and pasta for dinner tonight.

“Listen, I know, I asked you to stay here first. But—” My sentence was truncated by her annoying chewing sound.

Do I need to teach him basic ethics as well?

Hearing my words, Geeta immediately stopped chewing and dropped her pizza.

“Hangi, uung...” he said with a sorry face.

Haahh, if he keeps putting on that face every time I am a mommy, I won't be able to.

“M-eat slowly. Let me show you how to eat right.” I held my index finger in front of my face.

“Pay good attention. I don't want to repeat it, and after this you have to follow me.”

Geeta nodded seriously. He looked at my mouth. Afraid of missing something.

I snorted amusedly, and picked up the remaining slice of pizza. Then eating.

“See, like this. Try you do,” my word after the first swallow.

Geeta regained her pizzas that had been dropped, then devoured them little by little as I described.

“Good. You're smarter than I thought.”

By reflex I rubbed the tops of her head like Grandma used to do to me. But I pulled it back so consciously.

Geeta looked at me with a timid face.

Well, he can express like that too apparently.

I cleared my throat to divert the mood. “Back again, as I said earlier about staying in this house.”

Geeta focused her gaze on me, and her mouth on the pizza.

“I'm sorry, but it looks like we can't stay together.”

The beautiful creature with shining eyes instantly froze and dropped its pizza, for the second time.

He gaped and his eyes light dimmed. Looks like she's gonna cry.

I hurried to calm him down. “T-But that doesn't mean we should split up. I'll find a good place. You know, the situation really doesn't allow us to stay together.”

Tears appeared at the end of Geeta's beautiful eyes. He's squeezing my hand.

“Hangi...” whining.

I know, I know. You won't agree.

“You must be shocked. But, even if I explain the situation, you will definitely not understand.”

I held his hand back.

“For now, maybe you can go back to the swamp?” bosiku.

Sure oes. Geeta refuses.

“AAANGG!!!! HANGI AANG!!!!”

I was overwhelmed by his rage.

“Why? You were from the beginning living in the swamp.”

“AAAAAANGG!!!”

Geeta shook my body with both hands. So strong. He is much stronger than men.

His strength reminded me that he was not human.

“I'm really sorry, but..”.

Geeta looked up at me with tears in her eyes. Ugh, I'm sure no one human will ever have the heart on him once I see this expression.

Me included.

But! I won't be lenient with him!

With a heavy heart I led Geeta back to the swamp. She's still crying. Her tears are still flowing. But what can I do.

“Any night only. I promise only every night.”

Before leaving, Geeta hugged me tightly. It wasn't a goodbye hug, I could feel it.

But persuasion.

Geeta tried to persuade me to stay. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

I let Geeta hold me as long as she wants. Until he finally gave up on his own.

She let go of his embrace, but still stood facing me. Refused to go back to the swamp.

I smiled, and held her shoulder.

“Geeta, a bit of my memory is back. And I know we're close. Rest assured I'm not throwing you out. It's for the good of both of us, okay?”

Geeta nodded lethargicly and turned to the swamp. So do I.

After making sure he got into the cool, calm water, I returned home.

But why yes? My feeling is not good.
