Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
6. Mama Tiri's

Edward returned Kalula's phone in the girl's bag again without feeling guilty at all.

Though in Tokyo there, Edo must be a drunk because Kalula can not be contacted, plus the phone is dead.

Edward really doesn't care. He only thinks of himself. What matters is Kalula here. He who is obsessive about the girl would be happier if Kalula alone with him without anyone's interference.

Edo was still reluctant to wear clothes. He thought Kalula would be fascinated to see the muscularity of his burly body. Kalula was embarrassed. He was not used to seeing a man with a masculine look who showed off in front of him.

Edward makes coffee. He placed two cups on the middle room table. One for Kalula, one for him. He stared at his coffee. A few weeks ago, he knew she loved cappuccino.

Edward returned to the room to coincide with Kalula coming out of the bathroom.

Edward could not hide his smile once he saw his favorite girl appearing in front of him bashfully.

Her hair was a little wet and the clothes she was wearing were oversized.

Clearly greatness. Kalula used to wear size S, while Edward's clothes were XL-sized. Kalula looked like she was wearing a sack, but because her aura was beautiful to wear any outfit she still looked adorable.

"Ed, don't stare at me like that, please." Kalula then tried to hug his own shoulder which Edward knew he was trying to cover something.

Yeah, didn't he just say all his clothes were wet. That includes all of her underwear, right? That was the reason Kalula asked to change the dark-colored clothes and made from thicker earlier.

"Hey, I'm just staring at you as usual. Wh why? Kal, listen. I'm not a pervert. Dry your wet clothes near the balcony to dry quickly. Then if you have, sit on the sofa in the middle room. I've made you a warm cappuccino" Edward said with a smile.

Kalula nodded blushing then went towards the balcony. He dried his clothes and sipped with delicious coffee made by Edward.

A few minutes later Edward, who had just finished his bath, appeared in front of him. He wears relaxed trousers and his hands carry a piece of t-shirt.

Inevitably Kalula's eyes were fixed on him. Actually Kalula admitted Edward's body is very athletic and cool. But should he show off this body in front of him?

Or maybe he was too prejudiced. Edward hurried here after finishing his bath, eating he had just had time to wear a shirt here. It was a few meters in front of Kalula.

Kalula slightly held her breath hurting the scene. He never even saw Edo undressing in front of him like this, unless they were swimming.

In addition, there is no intense interaction like this, let alone showing each other physically, even though they have been dating for a long time.

Edo took care of himself. That was why papa Kalula used to trust the young man so much.

"Your cappuccino is delicious. It's delicious." Kalula let out a compliment as soon as Edward walked over and sat down beside her.

"Kal, did you forget I was a barista? Obviously my coffee is delicious. Especially in the kitchen there is a coffee machine. I mean my cousin's coffee machine. I'm free to wear it." Edward was correcting his own sentence.

Kalula. He stared blankly at the large television screen in front of him.

"You want to light it?" Edward offered.

Kalula. Then both are silent. Minutes pass. Edward drank coffee and put down his glass. Kalula came for a drink and put down the glass as well.

The scene repeats like a monotonous movie. Eventually Edward returned to voice.

"Kal's? What's your next decision? Don't tell me you want to go back to that house? I suggest not. In the meantime you can stay here until you find a new place to live.

My cousin just returned abroad. I don't know what month he's coming back. This place is mine temporarily. My parents wouldn't nag me either because I hid a girl here. Yeah, my mom's out of town.

Just chill. I also won't tell the kids at the cafe that we live in an apartment" Edward said frankly. He really wants Kalula to stay here, as long as possible.

Kalula shook his head slowly. He is also confused about his own feelings. He knew that the shocking secret had shaken his heart, so all the spontaneous actions he took were unthinkable, including Edward coming here.

"Come, Ed. If Mama Sastri apologizes, I'll go back to that house. After all, she raised me from my childhood until now. Yes, even with all his miraculous actions.

But maybe I'll be more assertive about money afterwards like you said. Since graduating High School I was throwing odd jobs here and there to save on college costs. But for 3 years I got nothing. Money's gone for mommy with Karina. I think I have to think about myself from now on" Kalula said.

Edward nodded and then sipped his coffee again.

"Tell me about your family, Ed. It doesn't feel fair. From yesterday you listened to my conversations about Edo, about my family. Ah, my goodness. We haven't known him for too long, Ed. Forgive me if my stories make you feel overwhelmed or upset.

Edward would have been unable to tell the true story. He didn't want Kalula to know who he really was. At least later, I don't know when he'll be honest. It's not ready yet. He fears Kalula is avoiding him after he finds out who Edward is.

"Mmm, what is it? Nothing interesting from my family, Kal. My father is also dead. Yeah not long ago. So we're the same.

Ah, stop, Kal. Talk about the other. Not me. My life is not interesting. Anything or anything that makes you happy. I will accompany you until nightfall. Until you are bored and not sad anymore" said Edward.

And it turns out that Kalula's heart is so easily raped. That night, Kalula and Edward continued to chat.

There are so many topics they talk about. From favorite movies, anime, their school experience first, books that happen to be equally loved. Whatever they chatter to comfort Kalula.

In fact, come to think of it, compared to Edo, Edward had more in common with him. Maybe this is why Kalula is comfortable being near Edward, although he has not known him for too long.

So comfortable, Kalula forgot to check his phone that died alias Edward turned off.

Kalula fell asleep on the sofa and Edward covered her. He saw the girl.

The more he looks the more he falls in love. Edward knew he liked this girl and he was determined to take her away from Edo.

"Can't be contacted, Ma. I tried it. I sent dozens of messages but they were not sent. The number is not active." Edo picked up the phone at two o'clock in Japanese time.

His dizzy head thinking about the lecture material is getting dizzy because the complaints of mama Kalula who he called "mama" are also so familiar to them.

There was a panicked voice coming from across the call. Edo panicked. His position like this made him even more upset.

"Slow story, Ma. You bickering? And Kalula left? Is that?" Edo got out of his bed and looked for a headache cure.

Sastri knew only Edo could persuade Kalula to go home. But he couldn't possibly have mentioned the reason for the fight?

Sastri could not say that he was disappointed to mention the status of Kalula who is not his biological child.

The female duitan eyes then twisted the brain. Then came the idea.

"Yes, Edo. Kalula takes a taxi home with a boy. Mama just who is she? Mama said Kalula had to keep Edo's feelings in check. Cook just left to Tokyo how many weeks have been the same way other guys.

Kalula is angry, Do! He immediately took another taxi with the guy. Eating Mama is afraid Kalula why-why the same guy. Find him, Do! Call him and tell him to come home, yeah. Mama's worried." Sastri lies convincingly. A woman with a snake mouth.

"Huh? Guys? What's the guy like, Ma?" The half-sleepy Edo instantly became literate for a moment.

"Oh, that's pretty, huh. Tall, white, brown eyes, kayak bule, Do. Said a work buddy. Mama doesn't know anymore, huh. Anyway you call him and tell him to come home, yeah. I'm afraid you're not here, the boy can't take care of himself. Yeah, Do?" Sastri is bragging.

"Yes, Ma." Edo answered softly and ended the phone call between the countries.

Edo's knees instantly went limp.

Could Kalula...

***

Five o'clock in Tokyo, means three o'clock in the morning in Jakarta.

Edo is a boy and is still trying to contact Kalula. Even now his phone while he put it into the charger contact because the battery runs out so he uses for hours.

Hand trembling. Between worrying and wanting to be angry. His mind wandered everywhere.

Kalula went with that guy. The guy who said Mama Sastri is quite handsome and sounds like the type of guy Kalula dreams.

Edo doesn't know. In Jakarta, Kalula is fast asleep with Edward looking after her. Edward chose to sleep on the carpet under the sofa, even though he could sleep on the soft mattress of his room.

If only he knew...
