Love belongs to Keanu
The Part 16
Keanu stopped his car right in front of his restaurant. The man immediately went down, also with the driver who switched to his passenger earlier.
Without saying much, Keanu handed the car keys to the driver.
"Keep Mr Ken's wife also down here?" ask the driver.
Keanu immediately shook his head. "Take him home," he said, without looking at the condition of Love who was still at home in the car.
"Okay, Ken sir." The driver nodded obediently. Then immediately go back to the car that is certainly in charge of being a driver again.
Keanu immediately stepped wide towards his restaurant. The man really did not care about how Love was left without saying goodbye before. While the girl can only look out for the departure of her husband who felt like he wanted to avoid it.
Love is deeply silent. His brain was busy encouraging himself to stay strong in the face of household dilemmas that did not match expectations. Until the driver had arrived to drive her in a big house that must have belonged to her husband, Love was still silent.
Time shows passing from eight o'clock in the evening. The love of entering the house was immediately warmly welcomed by women around the age of almost sixty. The woman introduced herself as an assistant in the house named mbok Nah.
Mbok Nah helps carry the luggage of Love until it reaches the room that will Love occupy.
"Please rest here first, Non. Let's go to the kitchen first. Not drinking what?" tanyanya friendly.
Love shakes. "No need, mbok Nah. Thanks though. I'm tired, just want to go to bed quickly," he said.
"Don't want to have dinner first, Non? Has Mbok prepared?"
Mbok Nah who already knew that Keanu would go home with Love from Ratih's mother, would have prepared everything to welcome the house's daughter-in-law. But apparently Cinta rejected his offer, which finally mbok Nah can only resign, let alone see the face of Love that does look tired, mbok Nah also let him to sleep immediately.
After mbok Nah left, Cinta went into a very neatly arranged room. The distinctive aroma of Keanu's body fragrance instantly burst forth as Love began to lay down on his bed. The girl sniffed her pillow cloth over and over again. It was that fragrance that made him opiate and captivated. Though previously the bed sheet has been replaced by a new mbok Nah, but its distinctive fragrance is still visible in the sense of smell of Love.
Next Love immediately went to the bathroom to clean the body. Highlight the girl's eyes circled wide all over the room which looked so neat to a man occupying this room. Feeling very tired, he immediately flushed his body under the shower, which automatically makes his body fresh again.
After completing her activities in the bathroom, Love immediately tidied himself in front of the mirror. He looked at his own face with sadness. Thinking again about her husband who until now did not give her any news.
Slowly Love laid herself on her bed, while her hands were still busy playing her own phone. Some of the messages he wanted to convey to Keanu, he always stopped sending. His mind suddenly hesitated itself, timidly having to face with disappointment again that will make it back difficult to sleep.
Until time crept up slowly, Love began to fall asleep in the contest of his dreams alone.
Morning greetings. The girl woke up after feeling that someone had entered her room. His eyes crept back and forth looking at the shadow of the man he thought was Keanu.
"Good morning, Non." Apparently mbok Nah who came.
The house assistant deliberately entered after knocking on the door of the room but there was no word of mouth. It turned out to be true as the assumption that the wife of his master's son was still sleeping peacefully in his place.
"August, Mbok. What time is it?" ask her, sitting down.
"It's been almost half six in the morning, Non."
"Astaghfiullah!" Spontaneous Love squealed in shock.
The girl immediately darted to the bathroom, in order to take water ablution to then carry out the obligations of her two little left behind. And mbok Nah who apparently was still in the room, could only smile at the knot seeing the mistress of his master was apparently among the class of people who obey his religious obligations.
After seeing Cinta finished with her prayer, mbok Nah came back closer.
"Non, would you like Mbok masakin what's breakfast?" soft bargain.
"Mas Keanu hasn't come home yet Mbok?" Love even asked the whereabouts of her husband who had not seen the eye since last night.
"Already, Non. It looks like it's past midnight Den Keanu's home" he explained.
"Ooh..." Love is only a long oh, while removing the prayer cloth and then folding it.
"Kok I don't know when you're coming home, Mbok?" he exclaimed, while stepping towards the exit to look for Keanu's whereabouts.
"Maybe last night Non beautiful has slept well," replied Nah, following the footsteps of Love behind her.
"Mas," he said, while approaching Keanu who was highlighting it coldly.
"What time is it home tonight?" ask her while extending her hand. The girl would get used to kissing her husband's hand every morning after waking up.
Keanu did not return his hand immediately. He understood what Love meant, but it was still awkward to reply.
"I want salim, Mum." Love reaches out to Keanu's own hand, then kisses him.
"I'm sorry if I ever made the same mistake, Mom," he said later.
"Ehem." Keanu deliberately diverted his awkwardness by just beating. After Cinta took off her hand, the girl instead struggled spoiled by linking her hands with Keanu's.
"What breakfast do you want?" tanyakanya.
Keanu slowly removed Love's hand from his arm.
"Whatever," she replied coldly. Then just go down the steps of the stairs with hasty footsteps.
Love is still in place. The girl was certainly not okay to find Keanu's treatment colder after being here. At first glance he glanced at the room where the man had come out of. Slowly he approached and opened the door slowly. The disappointment grew when they found some of Keanu's clothes in the room. Which means Keanu slept there last night, and it's likely they'll sleep in separate rooms forever.
A speck of clear globules escaped flowing on his cheeks. Early in the morning the girl cried in silence. Didn't you like her husband to her? Until you have to separate the bed to avoid it in this house?
But love does not want to despair. He quickly examined his tears so as not to come out again. He must be strong, must be strong, if he wants to succeed in achieving his love. Then the girl came out of the room, and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen it looks mbok Nah is cooking simple dishes for breakfast this morning. The middle-aged woman knew with the incident this morning between Keanu and Cinta. He was actually concerned with Love, but of course he could not do anything because he was just a domestic assistant in this house.
"What do you do, Non?" tanya mbok Well, trying to build communication with Love that looks a little dreamy.
"Eh-ea.. Want to make warm milk, Mbok," he replied. Then immediately pour warm water into the glass that he prepared beforehand.
"Create the Keanu Den?"
Love only nods small while smiling warmly to mbok Nah.
"Mbok, actually mas Keanu every day like to eat what menu?"
"Den Keanu is eating it potluck, Non. All the home cooking she likes. But what he likes most is fish. Everything made of sea fish Den Keanu really likes."
Love is understanding. After this he had to learn a lot of processed kinds made of fish for the sake of his beloved husband. Especially now that he is no longer working, which of course he will have free time to learn it after his lecture schedule.
The girl brought her homemade milk for her to give to Keanu. The man was apparently sitting in the family room while playing his phone.
"It's the heat, Mom." Love put her heat on the front desk Keanu sat down.
The man was unmoved, but a glance glanced at Love inexplicably. Finding her husband's cold gaze, Love chose to go to the room again. He remembered if he still had not taken a bath this morning, because after waking up he hunted to take water only.
Seeing Love enter his room again, Keanu went to the room he occupied last night. After finishing taking something there, he went to approach mbok Nah to the kitchen.
"Bok, I don't have breakfast here" he said.
"Loh, this is staying at the table, Den."
"Continue on, Mbok. There is love." Then Keanu left just like that, leaving Nah mbok who kept looking at him in wonder.
As the man flashed through the living room, he paused for a moment. A small glance at a glass of heat that is still untouched.
"Ah, if not drunk." Then drink it up to the rest of the half, because if spent afraid to make his wife become big head, because want to drink what he has made. The original mah doyan. Fuck up!
