Home For My Heart
Take care of this heart for me

After getting the spirit intake from Maura, Kendra took over all the pieces of the trade. Her lover was still awkward with a smoldering red face.

Shortly after, Maura's phone rang repeatedly. The girl glanced alternately between her phone and Kendra who pretended to be busy with all her activities on the kitchen table.

Maura shuffled her phone into the room. Kendra can only take a deep breath and try to be patient waiting for what will happen next.

Her boyfriend was in the room long enough. He did not find out and did not want to know who the person who asked him to talk behind the phone connection was.

The door of the room opened, without raising his head, he could feel Maura's uneasiness, "Who?" kendra asked without looking at the girl. His hands were busy stirring the shrimp on the frying pan.

"Mm-Mama," said Maura nervously.

"Why'mom're you? Ask you to come home?" Kendra raised her head and tried to smile.

"Eh, i-yes." Still nervously, Maura nodded her head.

"I'll take you later."

"Eh, no need ... Mama will come to pick up," said Maura quickly gave an excuse.

"Mm, okay. What time?"

"About another hour." Maura glanced at the clock on the wall uneasily.

"Can you meet the future in-laws?"

"Don't, my mother only knew I was close to Harvey" Maura said softly with her head bowed.

"Ow, okay fine. You eat before you go home." Kendra put the dishes on the table and prepared the cutlery for Maura.

"Where are you going?" Maura held back the hand of Kendra who was about to put on her jacket again.

"You're coming home, it's not good that your mama will see me here." Kendra smiled in anguish. In his heart he said that the Mama in question must be Harvey.

"The company I ate for a while, Ken, from yesterday you cooked but never tasted your own food."

"You sure? If your mama's gonna come see me here how?"

"He's uh, mama's still coming."

Kendra forced her smile, "Alright, we eat first."

Both of them eat in silence. Only the clink of spoons and forks speaks. Kendra and Maura could barely swallow their food.

"Likes?" ask Kendra suddenly.

"Eh?"

"His money."

"Like." Maura gave the sweetest smile.

"Thank God, I hope next time I can make you a dish like this again." Kendra looked at him deeply and sadly. Maura did not understand the eye gesture given Kendra, she smiled happily.

"Mola, what does that mean to you?"

Maura frowned not understanding Kendra's question.

Maura moved uneasily confused as to what would answer. Lover but the heart has not been fully given to Kendra, even she spread love also for the man who has hurt her heart. If it's a good friend, where's the friend who gave you a kiss like that? After all, he was already getting used to and comfortable with the existence of this man.

"What do you want it to be like?" Finally he threw the question back at Kendra.

"From the beginning of my desire is clear, I want you to be my lover even my wife later. Can I still hope so?"

Kendra grabbed Maura's hand and clasped her hand tightly. For the last time, he placed his full hopes on the girl who had captivated him for a long time. Maura nodded slowly, although she still had doubts.

"really? Then, can I ask to keep your heart just for me?"

Maura returned Kendra's gaze. He found sincerity and a great love in the eyes of the young man who always mocked him first. Again he could only nod his head, without being able to say a word to promise.

"I believe in you. Please take care of this heart for me, take care of these eyes for me and these lips for me" Kendra lirih added as she rubbed Maura's lips with her thumb.

Maura looked down sad, why is this request of Kendra the same as Harvey's request before his lover was caught cheating? Will he lose Kendra too after this?

The incoming message on Maura's phone resuscitates both of them from intimacy.

"Have you arrived?" asked Kendra trying to glance at the Maura mobile screen.

"A little while."

Kendra looked at Maura's face. He still hopes that his girlfriend is telling the truth and cancels her appointment with Harvey.

Looking at Maura who was down and did not react, he finally chose to retreat, "Alright, I go home first huh. Greetings to your Mama." Kendra got up and kissed Maura's head quickly.

Maura was eager to stop Kendra's steps, but her hands and feet still felt heavy. He was still confused as to what he really felt.

After Kendra died, Maura was still sitting motionless in her chair. For the umpteenth time, he felt something was missing after Kendra came out and closed the door of his apartment. The empty space in his heart felt more gaping than when Harvey betrayed him first.

Maura covered her face with both palms. He was confused by the situation his heart was in. How could a man who had not been around for a week, be able to mess up his feelings like this? Is it because he is just lonely?

'Ken, there hasn't been a minute you've left why do I feel missed?'

The young man he was thinking about didn't really leave. Kendra waited at the chicken noodle dumpling shop right in front of the Maura apartment building. His eyes were observant to observe who was coming in and out of the apartment. Harvey's car wasn't there, he confirmed that his half-brother was outside.

Kendra spent two glasses of sweet iced tea and a bowl of chicken noodles until Harvey's red car began to enter the apartment's grounds. Kendra refrained from directly catching up with the neat-looking man and beat him up helplessly.

Harvey got out of the car with a happy whistle. He had just met Reva and was now going to meet Maura inside their apartment. In his mind, he had imagined being able to seduce his girlfriend and take her to bed. Whatever he will do to bind the girl in his power, even in a dirty way.

His steps lightly walked towards Maura's room which was in line also to her room. In his pants pocket was already a packet of powder that would be poured into the girl's drink.

"Hi, long wait?" Harvey gave a big smile as soon as the girl he had long wanted to be a companion to life, opened the door of his apartment.

"We're on the road now?" Maura came out ready with her bag and clothes.

"I just came, honey. Can you come in and have a drink?" Harvey rubbed his forehead which actually did not sweat in the slightest.

"I'll get you a little bit." Maura turned towards the kitchen. The door that opens with its owner off guard, Harvey uses to get inside.
