Has Been Hanged
36. Mutual Promise

The morning adhan from Juanda was heard in the manager's room. But the owner of the room did not feel and did not hear his movements at all.

Ratria, who had woken up before dawn because her legs were in excruciating pain, only flickered silently with tension. The medicinal effect that had been lost, kept his eyes fresh with his perfectly functioning head back. Also the main effect is a terrible pain in the big toe, the cause of him to stay awake in the faint dark.

Until the old dawn passed, not also faint as great as Shahdan who woke up. It felt even more riled up if the man would not wake up until the sunrise was full.

"Sir, Pak Shahdan," Ratria softly called out. I don't want his call to be a surprise.

No sound nor movement.

"Sir Shahdan,,!" the call was a little harsh this time.

"Heeemm..."

There was movement and also sahut dehem from Shahdan at the end of the bed. Shahdan completely fulfilled Ratria's wish for the whole night. Very consistent with its ability.

But there is no further movement of anything felt from the side of the bed next door.

"Sir Shahdan, dawn is running out. I want to wake up!" ratria said a little loudly with a soft tone.

"You're waking me, are you the only one who wants to wake up, Rat?"

"Curp,,!!" jerit Ratria is a hanger.

The hoarse voice of Shahdan woke up so close beside his face. Ratria did not expect and realized the shift of the Shahdan very close.

"Why, Rat,?! There's a cockroach,?!" Shahdan was surprised too. It seems that Shahdan has sat down.

"There are no cockroaches. But I was shocked. Is Mr. Shahdan approaching me,,?!" ratria asked a little loudly.

Shahdan re-wiped his short lamb times in the dark.

"I'm just making sure I'm sleeping with you, Rat. Like a dream hear your voice wake up my sleep" replied Shahdan very honestly.

"Sir Shahdan must understand. I am being forced. Sorry if I made your bed so narrow and uncomfortable," Ratria hurriedly chimed in.

Shahdan got out of bed with back rubbing his short thick hair that began to feel long. Feeling dizzy with the words of Ratria who tried not to connect.

The lights immediately lit up brightly, as well as revealing a beautiful girl who had sat down to lower her legs from the bed. Shahdan came out of the room in disbelief if Ratria was in his room, had even slept in bed together last night.

Feeling grateful for Ratria's trust in him. There was also no meaningful quarrel between them last night. Shahdan realized that Ratria was trying to work together for the good of the girl herself because she felt she had hitched a ride on him. Ratria was quite understanding of the situation and conditions between them. As well as understanding the state of his official home which is far from luxurious.

In addition to the rooms occupied, there are three other places that had been kept clean. Bathroom, living room and small mosque next to the bathroom. Even the kitchen, Shahdan never touched it. I don't know how thick the dust is there.

The man never filled his stomach inside the service house. If forced, something bought and taken home, he settled in the living room alone. Although Judith often visited her house for a while to just accompany.

Shahdan had just come out of dawn prayers when Ratria also just came out of the bathroom. They were both surprised.

"Have you taken a shower, Rat?" ask Shahdan neutralize the shock.

Watching Ratria whose face glittered wet in the dimness. There are no lights in front of the bathroom or in Mushola. Shahdan doesn't really care about this. Although his mother was also noisy if by chance came home from Bontang and went to his service home.

"Yes, I did" replied Ratria.

"After dawn prayers, I want to talk to you, Mr. Shahdan," Ratria continued grimacing unintentionally. Shahdan saw it even without lights. He was used to the mood in his house.

"Your feet are in pain again,?" Shahdan looks worried. Ratria nodded.

"Let's wait in the room, and I'll come" Shahdan said as he approached Ratria. The wheelchairs pushed with Ratria slowly towards the room.

"Your hands must not touch me, Shahdan sir," said Ratria. Although surprised by Syahsan's good treatment, but his heart misgivings still work well.

"I know, Ratria." Shahdan answered briefly while continuing to push. He did not forget that Ratria will pray dawn as well and just berwudhlu.

Shahdan left him by the side of the bed and walked out without saying anything.

Cheats,,!

The Shahdan looked at the woman on the bed who was still struggling. Her face looked brighter and so sweet. With glittering eyes that are fixed to welcome the arrival.

There was a package in his hand, then it was extended to Ratria. And only greeted with a look of disdain from those beautiful eyes.

"Once you talk, have breakfast. I'll prepare your medicine" Shahdan sat back down in front of Ratria. His face was waiting.

Ratria was bending her fingers, seemingly fretting to start talking. His face was always tense. Never once smiled.

"Speak, Rat.. Or do you eat first? We'll talk after you take the medicine?" ask Shahdan to be patient. Ratria quickly greeted with his head.

"Actually, I want to talk about things that might not matter to you. But it's a big deal for me" Ratria began the conversation.

"When you take a shower, Vario calls me. He said he would come here and pick me up tomorrow morning, after coming home from Laos. But... If I don't want to stay with Mas Vario, then I'm still living here with you." Ratria looked at Shahdan who was nodding.

"Sir Shahdan will still keep your promise to your mother at that time, right? That would really take care of me without any intention of forcing anything on me? So, as long as I stay with you, please don't make me uncomfortable. Does Mr. Shahdan understand?" lang Ratria asked.

Shahdan looked at Ratria who was talking like he did not blink. Silently for a moment seemed to weigh.

"So, you're going to choose to stay with me? And refuse to pick up your stepbrother?" ask Shahdan who is not the answer to Ratria's question at all.

"Does Mr. Shahdan object to my explanation?" Ratria also asked the others back.

"I don't care even if you never like me, Ratria. But you have to stay with me. I will not let your brother take you," Shahdan instead confirmed the answer to his own question in haste.

"Sir Shahdan promised not to bother me,?" ratria is back.

Shahdan finally nodded.

"Alright, I promise you if you also promise to stay here with me, Ratria," Shahdan said. Ratria quickly nodded.

"Including giving me some privacy with another room for me?" That beautiful stiff and tense face was faintly smiling.

Shahdan quickly nodded feeling hypnotized.

"Thank you, Mr. Shahdan. You're very kind to me. What time did you pick up ART at your mom's?" tanya Ratria was excited. Now the face is getting brighter and is really smiling.

I took a long, deep breath.

"Ah, Ratria, you,,! Take the napkin first and drink your medicine,!" shahdan exclaimed as he quickly stood up to get the set of medicine that Ratria would swallow this morning. Like not being able to look at him for much longer.

"Yes, Mr. Shahdan,,!" ratria replied excitedly and continued to smile. No matter though aware if Syahdan has not given certainty when will pick up ART from his mother's house.

Shahdan was quite surprised when he returned to the room, the food in the rice box had been consumed by Ratria quickly. Feeling happy with the choice of vegetable pecel and fried chicken was very liked by Ratria.

But also astonished with slim girls like Ratria, but doyan eat anything without ever any leftover. Not out of thought with a thin and flat stomach that was once handled at that time was always able to accommodate everything.

"Do you want another meal, Rat?" ask Shahdan while taking the empty box from Ratria's hand.

"No, I can't take it anymore. Thank you, sir," Ratria replied with an expression of satiety.

"You're eating your food clean. Your way of eating is very good, Rat," said Shahdan wanted to know more about what Ratria was feeling at the time.

"If Mr. Shahdan buys me another meal, you'd better get half a serving of rice. Actually I had to spend. My late grandmother would be angry if I left food. Especially the rice from buy." Ratria looked sad. Always remember the grandmother who was missed.

Shahdan returned to breathing long after a few seconds holding his breath in his chest.

"Why didn't you tell me from last night? Sorry, I don't understand, Rat," said Shahdan softly.

"I'm disinclined, Mr. Shahdan. It's good that I was fed by you, right." replied Ratria while turning her face to the window.

Shahdan no longer replied. There is a day with the words Ratria. The girl who used to have a sharp and firm mouth on him also had a soft heart. Shahdan approached the window of the room and opened it wide with a slightly wide smile on his lips.
