Heart Darkness
Chapter 36 Ridiculous Romanticism ....

"Was your matchmaking going well, brother?" ask Reinha skeptically.

Reinha stood at the doorstep of the dining room looking inquisitively, alternating with Elgio and Mr. Abner, but received no response. The two men sat stiffly with their respective minds.

"Would it be necessary to invite them to Durante Land while they are a plot of cold-blooded assassins? Brother has also 'married' Marya? You two are so weird."

Reinha asked again and then waved irritated lips as the two men at the dining table were not much different from the living statue. Where do their dreams drift?

"Well, I have to take a shower. Muay Thai classes are really tiring and burn more calories than I thought they would" she added.

Did they get anything? Both Mr. Abner and Elgio looked like a torpor. Maybe the Diomanta family made the mood of the two bad. Of course, sitting at one table throwing smiles at each other at the families who had killed their parents, wasn't it a bit unnatural? But after careful attention, both of them are like doing a cold war action, tumben. Usually they both ride the same bus even though it is often opposite lanes. Reinha shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm leaving now. I was like talking to a wall," he said further immediately away, not wanting to disturb the peace of thinking both.

"You're not having dinner?" elgio asked suddenly the roar from the deep reverie immediately stopped Reinha's footsteps.

"Hmm .. thank goodness Brother is conscious. I thought you two would stay there until morning like Terracotta warriors. I'll eat later with Marya Corazon. I'm sure he hasn't had dinner yet because his appetite must have been damaged knowing that his beloved was betrothed to his half-sister by his own mother. If I were Marya, your face would be scratched."

"Stop carrying, Enya! My head is busy thinking."

Reinha smiled broadly, "That's great. The more the left brain works, the more genius you will be and hard to hypnotize. I'm leaving!"

Reinha climbed up the quick stairs while waving before disappearing. There was a faint sound of the door closing from inside.

"Are you dating Sunny?"

Elgio asked after staying quiet for quite a while. Abner was not as usual, the man who was usually in a melee was caught daydreaming very seriously. Abner's drastic change is a little scary. Abner is a plegmatic man who does not like to look for enemies and loves calmness with a rather crisp sense of humor. Sunny Diomanta has messed up Abner a little bit.

"Hmmm ...."

"You're not in love with her, are you?"

"Hmmm ...."

"Abner?!"

"Stop wanting to know my business! Think of yourself."

"For God's sake, I care about you! You're ... Besides you're sure Sunny didn't steal your company data?"

"I'm not that lazy, Elgio. Oh, that stupid woman, I almost took her to my apartment. Good thing I didn't sleep with him."

Elgio clucked, "Aren't you a man of principle?"

"Hmmm .. lucky. L like it. Women are temperamental and superior. He can even conquer anything if he has made a determination. He's got a clear and purposeful orientation, I'm stuck on his attitude." He was sorry.

Elgio. Kening interlocked, "I don't like having a guardian like Sunny. You can stop now! Even though you guys look good. Your plegmatic soul may be able to dampen its dynamic disposition, give it stability and balance but I don't like it. Please, don't let you regret."

"Yes, you're right. Let's focus on the more important things. I'm still surprised, our situation is too calm like a cradle before a big storm?"

"You grazed Lucky Luciano? He may be busy flirting with people's wives and keeping abandoned widows. Let it go" said Elgio cynically.

"I think ... Miss Reinha is protecting you well!"

"Just look at Enya! You know Enya is very critical and frontal. Don't let Lucky get close to her."

"Augusto is watching Miss Reinha, don't worry!" Abner's breathing is heavy. At the age of three heads, she was like a hostel mother had to take care of these teenagers. Not yet anything her waist has been gout. Do not age before marriage. There is no wedding. Perhaps he was the reincarnation of one of the eunuchs of the Joseon Dynasty.

"Let's think about you and Miss Marya. I'll arrange your wedding as soon as possible. I don't know why, I have a weird feeling that Salsa Diomanta might be up to something."

"Well .. we will go to Bali after marriage and will meet Mr. Nakamura as scheduled" replied Elgio quickly did not hold back the overflow of happiness. He tried to be ordinary even though glittering joy began to reach his face. Imagining Bali and the two with Marya makes her happy.

"Don't expect to be alone with him, Elgio," exclaimed Abner, ruining Elgio's delusion. "You can make Miss Marya soar when she's only been sitting on the third floor for a day." Abner shook his head in horror.

"Abner, I want to put that zipper rail in your mouth and lock it! Sometimes your mouth is faster than your brain" Elgio said, smiling with annoyance. "We'll 'do it' when he's 21."

Elgio's honesty made Abner giggle. Where does a husband and wife survive the shock of a whack of romance? He suddenly ate his heart when Elgio mocked him.

"So, I can learn a lot from you, how to ride the ran ...."

"You didn't see Miss Marya? He may be grieving at this time" Abner folded his arms and looked up at the ceiling, unwilling to respond to Elgio's silly babble. He almost went there with Sunny.

"I'll check it out. You're allowed to break the roof of the house. You are also allowed to mourn your tragic love story on the mulberry plantation. Don't try to peek at me! I'll throw you with the lid of the pot if you dare to go 5 steps toward the kitchen."

"Don't pervert in the kitchen, Elgio!"

Elgio grimaced before punching Abner's arm so hard that the man was pushed from his seat and nearly toppled to the floor. He stood up satisfied and went to the kitchen leaving Abner in pain. Abner was back in his seat, returning to the sky as if he could access Sunny Diomanta's profile there. He grumbled unclearly. Luckily they have not reached the level of silly romance. He may be more dangerous than Elgio Durante.

While in the kitchen ....

Marya was busy tidying up an already slippery table. The girl rubbed the glass table in the kitchen room twice as hard and strong with quick movements as if the table was stained with something hard to lose. He then faced the sink and cleaned up the dirty utensils, plucked the dishes repeatedly and dried them. He soaked the pot, smeared the soap and rubbed with all his might while Aunt Maribel stood not far from him. Marya was shifting her anger.

When she saw Elgio, Aunt Maribel shook her head sadly and Elgio immediately understood Marya's condition. Elgio sends a signal for Aunt Maribel to leave and she will take care of Marya.

"Do you want me to help you?!" ask Elgio as he approached from behind, rolling the shirt up to the arm. Marya rolled her hair out at the top of her head, leaving a few dramatic tumbling strands at the temple and letting her neckline lie beautifully. Elgio's eyes narrowed by the strange urge within him.

Like a song lyrics ....

You're so potluck but this heart quakes.

Exactly that. He always shudders to see Marya.

"I'm almost done, Elgio. It's quite dirty, I have to brush it harder," Marya said, sounding bitter and still rubbing the pot repeatedly. The shower water in the sink bath lit up and the sound of the scouring wire of the pan hurt hearing but Marya was not disturbed. The body reflects his mind, it cannot be lied to. The girl experienced an extreme swing of emotions.

"Marya ...."

"You need anything? I'll prepare, just wait until I'm done with this pot" said Marya lirih.

"Are you okay, honey?"

"Do you want to eat something?" Now his tone of voice shook stemming the cry. He rubbed the pot harder and faster.

"Hey?! Stop doing that, Marya!"

"Oh my God, why is this pot so hard to shine?" He spoke half in despair before giving up. He looked at the pot. Shoulders shaking. He had stopped crying but when he saw Elgio, he returned to the nelangsa.

"Aruhi ...."

"It's upsetting that I don't know why Mom left me? Why can you just watch me cry without helping me? Why does Mom hate me so much? I never asked to be born to him. Isn't this unfair?"

Marya's emotions burst, she throws a pan-scouring device at the bottom of the sink. Elgio hugged her tighter.

"How can you do this to me?! I don't know why I miss him so much, not hate him? Oh, my God, this is so bad. I forgive all his mistakes to me ... to Dad .. but that doesn't mean anything. Mother unperturbed has caused me suffering. I should how?"

Benak Elgio rages on painfully. A subtle jolt forced the girl to twist at him and he hugged Marya. It seems Marya has been crying since. The eyes were swollen and her cute nose was flushed red as if all the blood was gathered at the tip of the nose.

The desire to crave Mother who felt so hot at the beginning was reciprocated by swallowing a can of tuba.

Aruhi ends resentment sooner and replaces it with beautiful hope. He believes and even looks forward to something beautiful .. at least ... Mom misses him too. If you miss too much, just find out where it is. Or if you find it too excessive at least you just remember it. In reality, he held an empty hope.

"Can't he love me like he loves my stepbrother? I've never even rebuked Mom. Why did Mom take care of me? He even tried to make you go to my sister. I'm really not in his memory."

He gushed furiously across Elgio's chest and cried desperately there. The beautiful paras are covered in tears. Could the root cause of Aruhi's unstable condition be centered on his mother? If Salsa comes, apologizes to Aruhi and loves her, then Aruhi's suffering may end. Is there another way?!

"Am I not enough for you?" ask Elgio lirih. He lifted Marya's face and looked at her gently. "I can be whoever you want to be. Your father, your brother, your lover, your best friend even I can be your mother... You still need your mother? I can give you love, love, time and all my attention. Can you just look at me and forget about your mother?"

Marya looked down, Elgio was right. There's no point in wanting Mom after all the pain she's inflicted on her. Elgio made many good decisions and deeply gripped one by one the pain in his soul. Isn't Mom just an antagonist who is very cruel and does not need to be remembered? Why did Marya lean on Mom? Let's get rid of Mom and live well. Isn't that the best revenge? Being a great girl surpasses Arumi and conquers the world.

Their eyes were just watching each other and the struggle unraveled in Marya's bright brown eyes. It is not easy to forget the woman, but it is not sinful if she stops remembering her.

"Stop crying! You love me, don't you?" ask Elgio emotionally. "Can I be enough for you?"

The man waited for an answer as he wiped the rolling tears. Marya nodded with a wet face. He removed Mother from his mind, once again, convincing himself he only needed Elgio to move on. He can live without Mom, it's been going on for 17 years. Mother is just an illusion.

"You're right. I didn't have a mother from today until I died. I won't care about him anymore. I don't need Mom, you're all I want. I just need you."

Marya hooked her fingers around Elgio's neck and pulled the man down on her. It touches Elgio among the fine sobs left, let Elgio embrace fragility. They'll be together forever and keep the love, Mom doesn't matter. Elgio pulls Marya down on him, tracing the girl, sharing all the emotions trapped in his chest. A deep warm kiss contains the power of true love.

"If you hadn't found me, would you have liked Arumi? She's so pretty."

Elgio rubbed the tear marks on that beautiful face. Marya was like a real twilight, glittering beautifully at the far end of the horizon closing a bright day and hypnotizing the adoring eyes.

"It just so happens that you're talking about this .. If you go back to school, don't try to flirt with Ethan Sanchez! I don't like it at all."

"Oh my God, Brother. You sound overpossessive. That's no good."

Reinha appeared in the kitchen with a fresh fragrance of Jasmine that instantly spread throughout the kitchen. Elgio breathes the wind from his mouth by Reinha's interference.

"Oops, sorry I interrupted your date. I starve. I think Marya is too. Your kiss won't make him full. You can go, we'll eat something and have some fun" Reinha pushed Elgio into a rage. He breaks a hug on Marya, not wanting to take it off.

"Where do you work? Send me your office address!" elgio suddenly did not want to leave. After all he should know the clarity of Reinha's work.

"Eh oh-eh, that?!" Reinha. "I work at the Fashion Outlet in marketing."

"Umm, okay. I'm gonna drop by. Send me your address."

"Oh, no, no need, brother. Aren't you very busy?" Reinha stuttered back.

"Why?"

"Ummm .. we sell bikinis and women's underwear" Reinha replied curiously.

"Why do I feel like you're lying?"

Elgio looked at him sharply. Reinha never lied, so when the girl did, she was more likely to tell a lie.

"I'll call Augusto. You know if you dare to lie?"

"A, a-kuuuu .. I actually work at The Windows bookstore. Mr. Lucas Gustav is the owner" I'm Reinha at last.

"His?!"

"Sorry, I love books. I'm afraid Brother is angry."

"So you lied?"

"I'm sorry, I!"

Reinha looked down agitatedly unable to see Elgio's inflamed gaze.

"Is there a lot of good reading?" ask Marya slowly. He sent a message to Elgio to stop asking Reinha who was starting to get scared.

"Yes, much. The Windows even had a book from the 1930s."

"really? Can I stop by there? Must be fun."

"of course. I assure you, you'll upset my brother for not wanting to go home." Reinha glanced witfully at Elgio who was watching the two of them. "What book do you like?"

The two of them sat in the dining room and Marya prepared dinner. Elgio watched the two girls.

"All books."

"Do you happen to like prose?" tanya Reinha looks happy to have a friend in line.

"Yes, I love prose and I love Victor Hugo's novels."

"The Hunchback Of Notre Dame?" Reinha excited. He pulls the plate and looks not want to eat so enthusiastically on Marya.

"You like it too?" marya asked with interest.

"Very."

"The storyline is interesting and tragic. Esmerelda, poor beautiful woman. He was accused of a terrible crime, and Quasimodo, the eponymous hunchback. I like it."

"I think Hugo had another purpose for writing this novel."

Elgio curls a smile at the distracted Marya, devising a dramatic date at the bookstore. Reinha and Marya were so sweet and both were her precious treasures.

"Are you going to stay there while we eat, brother?"
