Happy Ending's
Chapter 33: Punishment

Anna laughed as she devoured the pie on her lap. Crush crumbs were splattered on the skirt and floor. I watched him, his eyes were blank, he seemed to be enjoying his own world. A world no one else knows. 

"Mama!" Clouds are screaming from the kitchen. Both of them are cooking together. From the smell, the aroma of fried rice seasoning terasi. 

"Anna. Would you like to join us in the kitchen?" He nodded and looked back at the television screen. There's no funny show there. There is only criminal and political news. I feel sorry for her, and I think Anna should have gotten proper treatment from experts.

"Antonius, can we talk after this?" 

"Hmmm. Of course."

"James, can you hang out with the Clouds for a second?" 

"Of course, Darling. Besides you're still husband and wife, do whatever you want."

"James?!" I pinched his stomach and he laughed. He was almost never serious and I often did not understand his way of thinking. For James there is no heavy problem in this world and no need to think about something until it drags on. He said life is only once and should be enjoyed and happy. If not, what is the difference between us and the dead? 

Clouds and James played in the room. Right next to my room. While Antonius and I chatted in his study. 

"Antonius, have you been friends with Anna for a long time?" 

"Yes. Since we went to college."

"Did you never feel anything strange about her?"

"Any? He's like that."

"I think he needs treatment, Antonius. As his best friend, you should know something's wrong with his mentality." Anthony was just sitting at his desk. Not responding. He seemed reluctant to talk more about Anna. 

"All right," I said as I stood up from the sofa. It seems Antonius is not being disturbed. Whatever it is I don't want to force him to talk.

"Key?" I stopped my steps. "What's wrong?" aska. "It's okay. Go see the clouds." Hid. Substantial. Always selfish and thinking of yourself.

Tok ... tok ...

I opened the door and went into James's room, "Are the Clouds asleep, James?".

"Yes, Key. Just new. Do you want to sleep here?" the answer was half whisper. I'm shaking. 

"All right then. I left him here. I'm going to go to the room."

"Good sleep, Keyla. I'll take care of our little prince."

"Are you going to sleep on that couch tonight?" ask me as I pass to the bathroom. Finished cleaning my body, I changed my clothes and immediately laid my body on the bed. Stretch the stiff muscles. Watching and accompanying the Clouds play turned out to be very tiring. 

"Antonius, can you go back to your place?" my orders were a little irritated because his cold attitude towards me turned out to be unchanged. He doesn't always answer my questions. And sometimes it is just left to pass.

"I'm tired of sleeping in my study" she replied, lying next to me and my chest jolted. It reminds me of when I first came to this house.

"You'll be all right." I leaned my body towards the wall. Giving Antonius his back and slowly starting to close my eyes. Besides, there's nothing important we need to talk about.

"Key. Aren't you being too cruel to me?" The big hand hugged me from behind. I who pretended to be asleep could clearly feel the breath of Antonius in my head. "alright. I'll wake you up, "he whispered gently as soft as the touch of his hand began to touch the outside of my nightgown and I just needed to enjoy with my eyes closed. 

"Do you like it?" He asked while turning my body." Wake up, I know you're not sleeping." I opened the man's eyes and face, the person I secretly yearned for was right in front of my eyes. I looked into her eyeballs fixedly, there was a feeling of not wanting to lose there. "Key, I love you." Anthony whispered right in front of my ear. I love you Antony too. But can we be together again? There's Anna and James between us.

"Key," said the man above me. His fingers caressed my cheek and I felt something else run up in my stomach. I smiled and Antonius' face was embarrassed. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this?" he said again just before our lips touched. I hugged her body that was already soaked in sweat. "Antonal. Did you miss me?" 

"Foolish question," he answered, and began to open one by one the buttons of my shirt. I stopped him, "No, Antonius. I'm shy. There was a stitch in my delivery cloud in my stomach." Like not understanding what I said, Antonius actually showered the stitches with a soft kiss and occasionally bit him. "That's a shame, Antonius." I covered my face with both hands. "There's no sexiest woman besides you, Key. I love every wound your body has. Without a wound, the clouds never existed. And without injury there would be no such longing that we feel now. " Antonius said softly and put away my hand. We looked at each other for a moment before Antonius and I let go of the longing that had been hidden. The longing I cover with ego and anger. And tonight ...all those wounds melted and went nowhere.

"Antonius?" I asked as I stroked her skin plastered in front of me. His chest muscles are still tight as they used to be.

"Hmmmm?"

"Do you still like to write?"

"Yes. Although since you left nothing has been published."

"Why?"

"Because you're leaving with all the stories I want to write." 

"Basic. What about your fans?"

"Eitherway. Maybe they forgot. What about you, Key? Are you happy living with James?" Antony asked. And there was a caught tinge of jealousy.

"Yes. He's so nice and I'm happy."

"Are you sure you're going to marry him?"

I'm speechless. Not ready for the answer I will give. Doesn't the human heart change? A few minutes ago I hated him, but now I want to be forever by Antony's side. 

"I don't want to force you to answer, Key. Whatever your decision is, I'll take it." My tears suddenly fell. I don't know for what reason? Is it because of my own confusion? Or for the uncertainty of my own feelings?
