Love Mas Cousin
Ganta Larisa's

“Detach, Bass! If the Sultan sees your attitude like this. It is not impossible that he will complain to Arif.”

Hanung revolted but if resisted, Bassta would get stronger gripping him.

“Don't distract me, Hanung. Answer honestly, you were with Larisa last night from where, what's up? I know you still like her but have you forgotten that she is now my wife?” jolt Bassta and Hanung frowned.

“Listen, Bass. What I explained to you last night, it was honesty. I'm just as Larisa isn't going anywhere let alone doing anything, you're too suspicious of me. Instead, I want it to be the same as you, why can Larisa night-night outside the house? She's pregnant again, if she and the baby why-why how?” balakan Hanung then released Bassta's hand grip which began to loosen.

Bassta hissed, remaining firm with the chaos of her own thoughts.

“He sought attention by wandering through the night so that I could quickly go home because he knew I was again with Jema.” Bassta explained with squinting eyes.

Hanung was stretched out to hear it, turned his head to the left and then approached Bassta.

“So, Larisa know about your relationship with Jema? Crazy you, Bass!” Hanung who is now emotionally ignited, felt unbearable with the condition of Larisa last night who after crying turned out to cry for her blatant situation betrayed.

“You betrayed and Larisa knows it?” hanung said again, he caught Bassta's shoulder strong.

Bassta wriggled violently, unwilling to be touched.

“There are situations between us that no outsider needs to know. I'm just asking you, stay away from Larisa!” firmly Bassta then tidied up into black.

Hanung was silent, astonished by what he heard. Before he spoke again, Bassta immediately left him.

Hanung was pensive with many questions filling his mind. Larisa knows about Jema and Bassta seems ordinary?

In the afternoon, Larisa walks alone, daydreaming and contemplating fate. He tote a plastic bag containing snacks as well as special milk for pregnant women. Larisa was offered to be escorted Asih, he refused, because loneliness is the best friend for him.

From far away, a motorcycle drove slowly towards him. Larisa was transfixed, she froze as she clearly recognized who was now approaching her. It was Ganta, fulfilling his intention last night to check Larisa's condition.

“Mas Ganta,” said Larisa hoarse, her eyes immediately felt hot and then watery.

Ganta got off his bike, pulled the helmet glass up and then stepped closer to his sister.

“Mas,” call Larisa with face constantly looking up. He had no idea that Ganta was in front of him.

Ganta just kept silent, looked at his sister's pale face, then shortly because of the unbearable longing, Larisa hugged him.

Ganta was silent, never giving a return hug.

“Mas Ganta—“ Larisa choked, kept crying on the man's chest. The two are very close, just like Nurani, Ganta also loves Larisa very much and always protects her innocent sister.

And now, Ganta felt that he did not see the happy aura that emanated from the spotlight as well as the look of his sister. Her sister looks after crying for a long time, her eye swelling is very noticeable. I don't know, Ganta felt sorry because only now he visited Larisa.

“Mas, how are you, Mas? How, mom, dad and Conscience?” lirih Larisa is so hoarse.

Now, Ganta and Larisa are in a restaurant. Ganta wants to enjoy food with his sister, it's been a long time he and Larisa are not like this. Sitting across, but now it feels so different from before. Not accompanied by laughter is also joking. Everything is different, maybe it will never be the same again as the situation that has passed. The situation was covered by awkwardness due to the mistakes Larisa made.

Ganta ordered food for his sister. Larisa was silent and daydreaming.

“Come eaten,” Ganta command.

Larisa raised her face then nodded slowly. Although not tasteful, Larisa tried to enjoy because she did not want to disappoint Ganta.

Ganta chewed his food while continuing to observe Larisa's face, until finally a question was thrown away.

“You're really fine, Dek?” Ganta.

Larisa took a deep breath, smiled then replied.

“Good, Mas.” He said he was very confident that Ganta would believe but still not that easy.

“Your husband works?” ganta said again and Larisa nodded. “What time does he usually go home? I want to see him, he is now Mas' sister-in-law. There needs to be a conversation between us.”

Larisa swallows the saliva to hear it, fearing even a fight that occurs if the two are met.

“He comes home always night, Mas.” Larisa smiled blandly.

“Oh, yes already. Maybe next time Mas can meet your husband, the important answer you just not a lie to avoid a meeting between us.” Ganta connected quietly but it made Larisa nervous even she choked.

Ganta deftly gave his drinking water. Larisa accepted, sipped her hesitantly while watching Ganta leisurely devour her food.

“It's hard to make Mas Ganta believe. He is very difficult if you want to be lied to,” murmured Larisa in the heart.

After Larisa finished drinking, Ganta made a sound again, his eyes focused on his food.

“Same as before, you will definitely protect. If there is anything, please be honest. Mas came not only because Mas kangen, but Mas also worried you why-why. Still feel a dream when you remember that the husband of his own sister is his son Aunt Novia. In the past, just imagine Mas never,” said Ganta and Larisa silent.

“Mom also really wanted to meet you but I have not given permission. Mas came here without father's permission,” he said and Larisa was shocked to hear it.

“If you know, Mas Ganta can get angry. Larisa does not want Mas to get in trouble,” said Larisa whining and Ganta shook his head while smiling.

“Not to worry. Let it be Masmu's business,” said Ganta and Larisa suddenly unsettled, afraid Ganta was found out.

The two talked for quite a while. Talking about things casually then Ganta offers to take Larisa. Larisa refuses, but Ganta urges.

Larisa is only afraid of Ganta and Bassta meeting. Bassta came home indeterminate, sometimes late afternoon sometimes late at night especially now her lover has returned.

Ganta and Larisa pass by leaving the resto. Along the way, Larisa continued to graze her tears that fell unstoppably. He was happy for Ganta to come, it managed to treat a little bit of his sadness at the moment.
