Love of the Journalist
41. Speechless

...41. Speechless...

For almost a week he actually pursued a deadline. Studio, field coverage, report, back to studio.

Tired and tired. Sure. Even Mas Budi the best partner he had suggested to choose one of them.

“Select field journalist or news anchor?” budi said some time ago when they were reporting. For it is impossible for both to be held in one hand and in time. What else a news field journalist knows no time. There is news there, too, that he must be.

Again he was in a state of confusion.

Journalists are his passion. While the news anchor, he considers the bonus.  What else with Aldi's offer that makes him more worried.

During that time he had not been able to tell stories with Danang. The guy's been busy lately. Always home at night.

Kirei stepped foot into the mini bar. Making a glass of warm chocolate may be a little relaxing to the mind. Hope so.

The girl sat on the sofa. Accompanied by a lighted television. However, I don't know what program is being aired. He doesn't mind it. Because his mind is going everywhere. He just needs a TV to accompany him.

Tired physically and his mind finally put him to sleep on the sofa.

It was like floating in the air. With such a familiar scent on his nose. Fragrance masculine woody perfume.

Instantly his eyes opened as the kiss landed on his forehead. Though he still wants to be lulled by the aroma that makes him comfortable and calm.

“I woke you?” the sentence that slid from the man so close before him. When his eyes were open.

He smiled, “Mas Danang already home?”

“Sorry ... I always overslept,”. The work that had been chasing him lately seemed to drain his energy. So to wait for the man to come home from work alone, it feels like his energy is no longer left.

Also, Danang always sent him a message to rest first.

He felt the strong jaw of the man. Swiping slowly. “I miss you were here ...” It was precisely that spontaneous sentence that came out of his mouth.

The man looked at her. Her index finger slid across the girl's cheek, “All I do is think of you.”

Kirei smiled, “Serious?”

Her husband published her smile, “You want proof?” his smile turned grinning.

Without the girl's answer, he had landed his lips on the ripe lips that became his candlestick now. Melu. Throw it full of longing.

Light only. Since their first night in the villa. Both of them never did it again. The man understood that it took time to get his wife's most sensitive area back to healing. And it's been almost a week since they did it for the first time. Although he had to endure his will. But, the comfort of his wife is top number.

Such a great longing. A desire buried deep. It made both of them seem to lose control. Trying to give each other the best. And want to satisfy their partner.

He moaned intensely as the man smacked the extremely sensitive parts of his body. Moans out of the two, when they both feel the pleasure of the union that they have been quieting.

“I love you,” Danang said as she kissed her forehead and cheeks. Then lay down the body beside him.

When morning greeted Kirei trying to wake the man up. Rubbing his cheek. “Mas, wake ...”

Danang budging.

“Mas ...,” now he rubbed his shoulder.But nil. Her husband remained unmoved.

She kissed him all over her husband's face. The man was disturbed and forced to open his eyes.

“Sholat, yuuk!" ask him when the man looks at him. He nodded, "but-" Danang deliberately paused.

“Tapi—?” he waited for Danang's words.

“I wanna shower together. (i want to shower together)” said the man with a triumphant smile. The man took her to the bathroom.

That morning they took a bath together. Of course interspersed with things that are exciting and humming. Up to almost an hour.

“Mas Danang can't work?” ask when they enjoy breakfast together. That morning he cooked fried rice. This Saturday it is free. Before tonight's TVS Award show in one of the five-star hotel ballrooms.

“The owner is at home just like you," said Danang.

“Start deh,” scorn by thinning lips.

Danang chuckles, “Fried rice this morning is already the taste.”

“Truly, Mas?” tanyanya. Because several times he made fried rice is always salty. A smile framed his face. Not in vain he thought.

“Pengen know why this time it feels good?” ask husband.

“Why?”

“Because ...," Danang menjaitanya, "which makes it already get paid .. so no more salty, hahaha ..” Laughter scattered.

He grunts annoyed, “Not funny know, Mas!” as his eyes glared.

The man was still satisfied.

She finally decided to accompany her husband to the office. On the grounds this morning the man was just coordinating with the team. So just for a second.

She went into her husband's room. Sitting on the couch. Danang went to another room somewhere. Get the newspaper on the table. Flipping pages. Trying to find interesting news. But it is dominated by political and criminal news.

Until his eyes caught the news about the market because of the price of basic food that rose sharply. The name of the husband and the ranks of the trade service are listed there. Instantly his lips curved upwards forming a smile.

“Morning, Mom," greet someone dressed in a brown uniform. The man knocked on the door a few times.

He who could see the man from the room because of the stormy glass door, immediately opened it. “Yes, Sir,” says after door opens.

“There is a package for Mr. Danang,” the man gave a package to him.

He received the package. Say thank you to the man before leaving him.

His forehead wrinkled, while observing the package. No sender name. Name and address of destination.

The package he put on the table. Then he returned to the newspaper. Intend to continue reading. But a square box-shaped package was stealing his concentration.

He returned to the package. Watch it carefully. Danang came in, when his hand put the package back down.

“Mas, there is a package,” sergeant so Danang socked himself beside it. “For ... Mas Danang.” She gave the package to her husband.

“Open it,” agile Danang.

He was fixated for a moment, “Yakin, I am the—”

“Sure,” Danang cut.

He opened the package without asking from whom. Because there's no sender's name. In fact, he also felt happy because he was given the trust and privilege.

His smile expanded instantly. But quickly the smile turned into a look of astonishment. When the package box is perfectly open and looks the contents.

“Mas ...” He looked at the man who was also looking at him. “For?” he held up a car key in the air.

“For special someone on a special day,” Danang said with full gaze fixed.

“Special day?” he just cringed. What day is it? Her birthday is over. The anniversary? Still far. The wedding's been on how many months. Or Danang's birthday? Not likely. It makes no sense that birthdays even give gifts.

Kirei's hand was rubbed gently by the man. Caught it. “First meeting with little girl in the park on the same date and month.”

He's flabbergasted. Speechless.

“She is a sweet girl. Who has stolen my heart ever since" Danang said.

For some reason, suddenly his face and eyes felt heated. He's huggish. Does this man love her? To the extent that he could not speak a word. Tongue's cow. Her voice choked. He could only stare at this man in front of him.

The man who loved her for a long time. The man who had secretly always protected her.

Their marriage did not happen at that time.

Mas Budi once told him, when they were trapped on the island of Karimun Java due to a storm. Who else if not Danang Barata who sent people to pick them up using the Ditpolair heli.

Then when he was injured as a result of falling from ojeg. This man also treated her.

When he was caught in the flood one night out of work late. This man helped her too.

During the coverage associated with it. This man also always makes it easier and helps him.

All the men did was to protect her. Yes, protect the little girl who has stolen the heart of a Danang Barata Jaya.

Instead, she hid her marriage. Not ready to go with him. Till when? This is a reply that is commensurate with what Danang has done so far.

Danang shrunk her tears, which had already made the river, “Are you happy?”

He's ashended. Unsuspectedly. He will be showered with immense love. Without answering, she just threw herself into the arms of her husband.

**

In the evening Kirei invited Danang to attend a TVS Award show in one of the five-star hotel ballrooms.

The girl was wearing a sleeveless chiffon dress with maroon flowers. With a length of sebetis. While he was wearing a maroon long-sleeved shirt that rolled up to his elbow.

Argued before. Why not wear a formal suit. It was precisely Kirei chuckling, “The way was relaxed. Not very formal. Gini sleeve, ” while folding that long sleeve up to his elbow.

“You sure you took me?” ask Danang to make sure.

“1000%,” toilet Kirei.

He smiled at the smile.

Arriving at the ballroom people who knew his wife greeted him and sometimes whispered things that he did not know.

Both go hand in hand. Occasionally holding hands. But occasionally Kirei released their hands if they shook hands or just waved to welcome his colleagues.

He threw a smile at Kirei's friends, before sitting next to the girl.

“Mas Danang want to drink what?” kirei asked with a slight closer in his ear. The sound of music filled the room.

“Mocktail," Danang replied.

When a waiter passed by the girl called him, “Mocktail 2 , yes.” While the servant nodded and took notes. Then pass.

Anisa who is sitting next to him gave the code by elbowing her arm, “Hutang lo, not yet completed!” whisper it right in his ear.

Kirei smiled wryly.

Even Oka and Aldi gave question mark-filled gazes. While Budi who is already familiar actually speaks casually.

The event also began. At the category nomination reading. Kirei and Aldi who were lined up as nominee readers, stood up. And walk up to the stage.

Aldi tried to lead him even though Kirei subtly rejected him. But Aldi is Aldi. A perfectionist, professional, firm, straightforward never give up. The tall man led him as several more steps led to the stage.

Read the nominations for the favorite entertainment presenter category. Give the award to the winner. Then sit back in his place.

His countenance changed when his wife saw him. Kirei patted the back of his hand. And give her a smile.

Then when Kirei's name was called as the winner of the category of indepth reporting in the event search program. The girl was speechless.

The turn of the back of Kirei's hand that he rubbed. “You did it.”

Kirei walked towards the stage. Received the award trophy with joy.

“I would like to say a big thank you to Allah SWT ... mother .. my brother Kenichi. Tim searches for events; Mas Aldi, Mas Agung and Mas Budi. Also colleagues in the news, Oka and Anisa. As well as other colleagues that I can not mention one by one ...”

Kirei threw a smile at him who was also staring at him before continuing his sentence.

“For special someone on a special day .. thanks a million.”

Kirei walked down the stage. Arriving at his desk was immediately welcomed by Oka, Anisa, Aldi and Mas Budi. They congratulated me, though,

“You rock, Rei!” said Oka while patting her shoulders.

“Thumbs up my dear ...” Anisa.

“Congratulations, Rei. Good job!” Mas Budi gave his two thumbs up.

“Keep up the good work!” said Aldi shook his hand then rubbed the back of his hand slowly.

They sat back in their seats.

The event was festive. Entertainment was also brought in mostly from the capital.

“Rei,” call someone from the side direction of Kirei. The girl who had wanted to grab some snacks at the buffet table finally broke them off. Kirei turned his head, then his brows furrowed.

“Bang Laira?!” repelled.

“Congratulations yaa .. You deserve it! I know you could do it.”

Kirei replied, "Thanks, Bang.”

“Honey, done?” Danang approached his wife and grabbed her waist.

Kirei nodded. “Bang, sorry I first.”

***

His eyes did not escape the movements of Kirei and the man next to him. When they talk. The Gesture clearly stated there was a connection between them.

Then, as the man's hand rubbed the back of Kirei's hand. They throw each other smiles. Oh ... damn it!

What kind of relationship do they intentionally show?

Even he purposely guided Kirei's hand towards the stage. Succeeds. It can make the man jealous.

But .. enough is enough.

Tonight he will be frank about his feelings. The feeling he had been feeling all along. Even when I first met the girl.

Aldi circulated the view throughout the range as far as the eye could see. “Oka!” he cried when he met Oka. “Lo, see Kirei?”

Oka tapped her shoulders.

Then he saw Anisa who was at the snack buffet table. “Nis,” sweep. The woman looked at him. “Lo, see Kirei?”

“It's like in the park, Mas. He said he wanted to air that,” replied Nisa.

“Okay ... thanks,” get together fast. Until several times he nudged people when walking hastily without paying attention to his steps. “Sorry," he said as soon as he accidentally nudged people. And that guy cursed him.

Arrive in the park. The scene beyond suspicion ambushed his eyes.

“I don't want to," kilah Kirei.

“Please .. once again," said the man half forcefully.

The girl shook her head. But the man forced her. This can't be allowed. As fast as lightning he pulled the collar of the man's shirt. Then landed a punch right in his jaw.

BUGH.

The man staggered backwards. But quickly able to stand up straight. Without aba, the man replied to her. Telak.

The girl was confused. Stuttered.

“Ma-mas Aldi, stop!” exclaim Kirei. Holding Danang's arm so as not to continue the blow again.

“Cih, how dare women! Damn you!” aldi swiped at the end of his torn and bloody lips there. “This is my opponent! Women are not forced. If he doesn't want to. Better to go!” blow it with a tinge of anger.

Danang just returned a smile. With strong clenched hands and tightened jaws.

While Kirei, keep holding Danang's arm. “Mas, already ... I will clearin.” Reshuffled. “Mas Aldi. This ... this is my husband. Mas Danang," he said.

Instantly Aldi felt thunder lightning grab him. Lunglai's body. As if I couldn't believe what he had just heard. “Tell me another one (i know you're lying),” the rebuttal.

Kirei tried to convince, “We are married, Mas. Him, husband. Sorry ... didn't tell Mas Aldi. Not to cover. But—“

Danang had already dragged him away before Kirei explained further.

Aldi bowed. Listlessly. I feel like the universe is unfair to him. He grabbed a glass containing a pink drink just like that. Sipping him as much as he wanted. So much so that he could forget what he had seen and heard just now. It was very painful for him.
