Last Night With Father-in-Law
A Confession

"Om." muttered Felia, just as Felia opened the door she saw the sight of a man standing in front of the door.

The man entered without asking permission from the owner of the house, Felia again closed the door. He stepped into the kitchen to get a drink, it didn't take long for the drink to be finished.

"Om, why are you here. Not that she was busy taking care of the office." said Felia put two drinks, Felia chose to sit on the other sofa making Edbert dislike the sitting position of Felia.

Felia looked at Edbert's hand asking herself to sit beside him, Felia decided to follow Edbert's wishes. Unexpectedly, Edbert chose to sleep on Felia's lap with his hands pointed over Edbert's head.

"Om, why? If you're sick I'll call the doctor to check your health" she said, still playing Edbert's hair, Felia looked at Edbert's face and Edbert's.

Without answering the words of Felia Edbert pushing Felia's head to kiss this woman's lips, the kiss she had managed to get before she had not gotten a part. Edbert further deepened the kiss until Felia enjoyed the game Edbert was doing.

Edbert stopped his kiss with his index finger pointing to Felia's lips, the finger erasing the trace of her kiss.

"Om haven't answered my question. Why come to this house late at night om, om 'will be able to go home not to my house" said Felia made Edbert throw his face, in a few seconds, he was the face that he would turn to then Edbert looked back at Felia.

"I miss you. Am I wrong about you?" edbert's speech was able to make Felia silent without saying anything, he did not understand why Edbert kept saying that.

"Not wrong om. That's a natural thing because om kangen same I was just a prospective daughter-in-law, as well as me. I consider om's attitude like a father to his son, let alone I've become Louis's and soon I'll be his son-in-law."

Edbert did not accept the words of Felia, he chose to get up from Felia's lap by looking at this woman. "I don't think of you like my future daughter-in-law or my son Felia. But I consider you like my lover."

"Om aware of her own words." said Felia made the man look at her seriously.

Edbert took Felia's two hands with a gaze still directed at this woman, "I am aware of my own words, but I cannot lie my feelings to you. Let's just say I've gone crazy for loving my own son's girlfriend, but I know this feeling shouldn't have happened to Felia."

"I love you as well as you love Louis. I know what I did to you was wrong, but my feelings couldn't be lied to by Felia. I don't like you being in touch with other men, nor my own son. Because I want you to be mine."

I don't know what he was confused to say, this was all beyond his expectations. He regarded Edbert as his own father but this man considered him more.

Felia took her hand out of Edbert's hand, "Sorry om I can't return the feeling om. That feeling should not have happened, what we did should have been forgotten instead of being like this."

"Now I'm engaged to Louis, and soon my relationship with Louis will reach marriage. I don't want Louis to know what we're doing, I don't want to disappoint Louis" he said, looking back at Edbert, the man choosing to throw his face away rather than look at him.

"Om." call Felia when the man doesn't want to look at her, seeing that Felia can't do anything anymore because she doesn't know what to do.

***

• Evenings at the engagement event

Seeing the scene of Louis's romance with Felia, he chose to leave this engagement. Edbert went out looking for a place that no one visited, he was now on the balcony with a view pointing to the night sky.

Enjoying the night breeze making himself feel less, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the suit bag. He took a cigarette with a match that he always carried, when a match fire was lit on the tip of the cigarette someone took the cigarette.

Feeling annoyed with the person he immediately saw who was bothering him, he saw Bob coming to the balcony by stealing a cigarette that he had burned.

"You did follow me here. It's not that I told you to keep my son's engagement" Edbert said, picking up a cigarette, he lit a match to light a cigarette and Bob.

"Can I ask you something about the boss?" getting a nod from Edbert he chose to smoke a cigarette before he spoke.

"Does the boss love Felia?" getting the question made Edbert look at Bob, he saw the man was busy smoking a cigarette with a view towards the night sky.

"No. I don't love my son's girlfriend." To be honest he wanted to say 'yes' but in fact the lie just kept saying.

"Boss don't lie to your own boss, I know the boss loves Felia. Ever since Louis introduced Felia to the boss, I've been guessing that the boss has feelings for Felia" Bob said, making Edbert sigh.

Edbert finished the rest of the cigarette and threw away the cigarette, "Do you think I feel this is wrong?" Edbert chose to look at Bob because he wanted answers from his confidants.

"Sense there's nothing wrong boss. The feeling would accidentally come and go, so I saw it from the boss. Because I know the boss has not loved women since the boss' wife died, so when Louis introduced Felia the boss immediately fell in love with the woman." said Bob immediately concluded that his words were right.

Felia let Edbert stay at her house, she prepared a guest room that was on the lower floor but in fact the man chose to sleep with her.

And now their sleeping position hugged each other, precisely Edbert who hugged the body of Felia. He continued to play Edbert's hair with this man holding her, hugging her so tightly that she could not move at all.

Felia confirmed his position but Edbert who felt there was movement from Felia he quickly hugged her back, Felia can only resign with Edbert's attitude he pulled a blanket to cover his body and Edbert's body then Felia can fall asleep by returning Edbert's embrace.

In the morning Felia opened her eyes trying to equalize the sunlight, the look she saw was the person she slept with. When he tried to get up, he could see a man sitting in a chair with a smile.

"Oms. Why didn't you wake me, what time is it?" Edbert gave a glass of water to Felia, Felia took a glass of water from Edbert's hand.

"Now it's six." Edbert received the glass from Felia's hand, and he kept the glass back looking at Felia.

"Where are you going?" edbert asked to see Felia's feet coming down from the bed.

"I want to get ready for work."

"Om has asked Louis to comfort you, now you don't have to work first. Om don't want you to get sick just because you're too focused on working."

"Where are you going, Felia?" he quickly got out of the chair when he saw that Felia was not in bed.

"I'm gonna take a shower."

"You take a bath." said Edbert, who suddenly teased him, he took a pillow on the bed to throw it in the man's face.

Before the pillow landed on Edbert's face, he had already taken the pillow from Felia's hand. "Why are you angry om just ask, naturally dong om ask that. Don't let your mind lead to it."

"Stop, um. I don't want to joke. Now o'm out of my room rather than throwing something harder than a pillow" Felia said, threatening Edbert.

Finally Edbert gave up, he chose to leave from Felia's room to make Felia quickly close the room door.

"Basic o'm perverted." muttered Felia standing behind the door.
