Lovers Payment
A Gift to the Faithful Reader

Andre entered his apartment shabbily, there was a little bit of guilt on the girl.

The living room was empty, the atmosphere seemed empty. Andre approached the guest room door and started knocking slowly.

"Nai? You're inside?

The door opened slowly, featuring Naina's flat face with disheveled hair. Andre was shocked to think that a ghost.

"Jeez, Nai. You're so tangled?"

"My head hurts."

"Here" asked Andre to sit Naina on the thick carpet in front of the TV.

While Andre sat on the sofa behind him and started combing Naina's long hair. So slow, be careful for fear of attraction.

"You relax, yes" said Andre understanding.

Naina is enjoying the TV show, her hair is getting tidy again. Slowly, Andre massaged the girl's temple.

Naina feels relaxed and sleepy, for some reason she can never be vigilant when with Andre. Maybe because slowly he started to get comfortable with this faint bond.

"Thank you, Ndre," said Naina sincerely.

"No need to hesitate," the man smiled warmly.

"Have you eaten?" ask Andre again.

"Not yet."

"You delivery?"

"Can."

Andre fiddled with the phone screen, ordering fast food. After ordering, he placed the phone on the nightstand next to the sofa.

Naina looked at Andre with an inexplicable look, as if she wanted to say something but was restrained.

"Is there anything you want to say?" ask Andre.

"You're still in touch with Ayesha?" ask Naina at the end.

A glance at Andre's face changed, but a second later it returned to normal. Seemed calm.

"Some times, it's family business."

"Oh," said Naina, there was a disappointed look on her beautiful face.

"Nai, what's wrong with you?" ask Andre worriedly.

"Live another week" he said flatly.

"What?" andre asked not to understand the direction of the girl's conversation.

"Our contract" he said, staring fixedly at the eagle's eyes.

The eyes looked round, the man had just regained consciousness. One month will soon pass. Andre pensively for a moment.

"True, too" he said.

"Then let's spend the rest of the time with the holidays" he said.

"Where?"

"To Jogja, will you?"

"Seriously? Want to!" exclaim Naina bright.

"OKAY. Let's get ready, tomorrow we leave" said Andre.

Naina immediately headed to the room to pack some of her clothes stels, Andre helped her stuff into the small suitcase, as the girl still looked limp.

"The book does not need much, later we buy batik clothes there," said Andre.

A batik? Well, I want to," he said happily.

After taking care of everything that will be brought,

Andre invites Naina to dinner, once kang intervenes.

Both of them enjoyed pizza while watching the light show. Andre looked at Naina who was focused forward. Very beautiful even without makeup.

'It feels like a couple', Andre's inner self smiles.

"Hey, if you're done with the contract, what's your plan?" asked Andre curiously.

The girl looked at Andre straight, seemingly thinking for a moment.

"Eitherway. I haven't thought about that," he said.

"All right, no problem. You can tell me later."

"Yes, did you think of the writing on the glass?"

"Yes, my gut feeling is bad. The fifteenth is near" said Naina riled.

"Don't worry, there's still me."

"But who did it?" naina asked surprised Andre.

"I don't know."

"Could it be Alex? Or Ayesha?"

Naina seemed to think, the incident that happened to her made her a little traumatized. He suddenly recalled, just before fainting from being hit, faintly he saw the figure with short hair. Could it be a man?

But it does not rule out the possibility that the figure is wearing a hat. I don't know, Naina's head hurts from trying to unravel the tangled thread.

"Nai, rest gih, tomorrow you have to wake up in the morning," said Andre disperse the daydream Naina.

"Yes, I sleep first" he replied, rising up.

"Wait, someone's missing."

Naina turned her head, Andre stood closer. The girl looked confused to see the man smiling.

The cup!

A fleeting kiss landed on Naina's forehead, the girl fell silent, pecking. Something warm is touching her heart.

"Good night" whispered Andre right beside Naina's ear.

The girl nodded, a pink tinge adorning her cheeks. He immediately ran to the room and closed the door.

Andre smiled with satisfaction, while Naina leaned against the door. Holding his chest that was pounding, his feelings were unbecoming. Between joy and worry.

Quickly, he shook his head, remembering his principle that he would not fall in love with his customers.

But the sweet and warm treatment from Andre gradually eroded the wall. Like it's a reef, Andre is the wave.

Slowly, but surely. Those invisible tremors began to gradually occupy the long-empty throne.

Spring he ran and laid himself on the bed, his eyes glaring at the ceiling of the room. He could see the stars even though they were blocked.

Tired, slowly Naina's eyes began to shut. To feed it into the dreamland, beautiful without burden, nor threat.

On the other hand, Andre still remembered his courage just now. He was happy because he was one step ahead. Suddenly he remembered his past.

Long ago, when he was still gray. Indeed, no one ever glanced because of his geeky appearance even though he was the child of people.

He never had any friends, always alone. She doesn't even remember her own classmate's name. But the one thing that stuck in his heart, was at that moment.

That afternoon, after school. He waited alone in front of the gate, but the invitation never came. Suddenly there was a girl standing next to him.

Hi, waiting for an invitation, huh?" tanyanya friendly.

His smile was sweet, making Andre become nervous and misbehaved.

"L-yes, if you?"

Trouble Andre answered, but the girl laughed instead, displaying a row of white and neat teeth.

"Sama, I'm waiting too. Want loli?" he offered me a leg candy.

Andre receives the girl's hand, a foot-shaped candy. Funny, he thought.

"Thank you."

"Sama-sama, what is your name?"

Andre was nervous again, but he still tried to be cool in front of him. I don't know why he did it at the time. All this time, he never got anyone's attention.

However, this time it felt different, he wanted to be noticed by the girl. Become the center of his attention. It was also the first time he had spoken to a girl.

"My name is Andre, if you?"

"Remember, my name is Naina."

Andre laughed out loud remembering his behavior at that moment. Really ridiculous and embarrassing. Now that he was starting to think, could it be the power of falling in love at first sight?

In the years since Naina disappeared, she still can't forget. Andre was devastated at that time.

Even with a piece of his wounded heart, he persisted. I don't know until when. Andre smiled now, he was grateful to be able to meet Naina again after so many years.

His once gray life, now changed drastically to colorful. After nostalgia, the man rose to his room.

Immediately anchored to the island kapuk that looks very very tempting, one touch immediately fell asleep.

"Naina, have a nice dream."
