Marriage Proposal: Ben & Bima
30 - Mas Ben's

(Ben)

“Go back?”

“Iya return. Said he wanted to make dinner for you.”

After coming from the restaurant and meeting a man named Marcel, I felt jealous. So I decided to put Yayai in Mee's place. Mee is in a boutique not far from my office. He was looking at the wedding dress. In fact, I've canceled an appointment with Mee. Actually, I drove Yayai to the boutique to meet Mee, so she remembered that she would marry me. I hope he won't be able to meet any man, cuddling freely like that, without me knowing who Marcel was. I'm too possessive about this. I can't be held by anyone else. Even his best friend, Riko.

“Have you chosen the shirt?” I asked Mee.

“Already. The choice of Bima is very good. High taste too.” Mee is very enthusiastic. Sounds happy.

I'm in front of the production room. I forgot to call Yayai. It turns out that he can't be removed. My strange thoughts came. What if he only reasoned with Mee, if he didn't come home but met Marcel?

“Pak, which eighteen minutes to flap?” A thick-eyed editor appeared from behind the door.

I looked towards him and removed my anger. Actually, I always look at my phone screen, hoping Yayai contacts me. Actuallyno. Inside the studio, I secretly contacted Yayai and…

“Halo?”

“Where are you?” my whiskey.

Then die. Wait for. I saw my phone back. To see if my signal was disconnected or what? Ah no way. My signal is full. I remembered Yayai's voice earlier, it seemed to be outside. Not at home. At 10 p.m?

“I have business. If there is anything can contact me.” I finally spoke to the editor. I patted her shoulder.

“Good, Sir.”

“I stand by.” I said while showing my phone.

“Oke, Sir.” The editor showed me his thumb.

Then I went out of the studio and went into my room for a while and went home. Drive the car in a hurry. On the way, I was still trying to contact Yayai. But his phone is completely inactive. His habit.

I got home, just the situation of the house is a bit odd. The door of the house was wide open and there were two pairs of men's shoes.

“Oh, Let's same Jack so funny.” shouted Yayai.

Two men in front of Yayai were sitting in the backyard, watching two small Persian cats and playing with Chloe. I frowned, Chloe was interacting with two other cats. One of the men was the neighbor's man who had fixed the broken sink pipe, while the other man was a handsome man and somewhat younger than Yayai.

“Prof? Try here, Chloe wants to interact with these kittens.” Yayai looked at me. He smiled happily. He extended his hand to me. Probably meant to sit with me watching the nimble Chloe play. I grabbed Yayai's hand. Hold it and sit next to it.

“Night, Prof.” greet the neighbor man and the younger man seem to smile at me.

“Night.” answer. It's already night. That's vivid. You should just go home. My chirps in my heart.

“Prof, how old is Chloe?”

“Maybe fourteen? Fifteen years?!” I said a little forgot.

“Wah, Om so cool. Healthy always yes, Chloe.” says the youngest man. She caresses Chloe with affection.

Om? Damn damnit! Am I that old called om?

“Prof, have you eaten?” ask Yayai. The two men were gone when I finished the bath. Yayai immediately asked me the question when I came out of the bathroom.

“But.”

“What would you like to eat then? I made.”

“Say you cook?” I was surprised to see the dining table empty.

“Oh, no time. I chased the supermarket before it closed.”

“Why don't you call me when you're done at the boutique?”

Yayai. I started my debate. He seems a little lazy to serve me.

“Prof has been out of work for a few days. I think Prof is busy. So I can go home by myself.” her smile. He poured mineral water into his glass.

“With your feet like that?!”

I'm looking for his legs covered in the dining table.

“I'm better. Looks like it must be taken to the streets.” he said. Still smiling.

“Then?”

Yayai stopped thinking about something. A good reason might be that I'm not arguing with him tonight.

“I got stuck. I think I should go to the supermarket. It turned out that until the house had been a bit late and the neighbors came.”

“Coming almost late at night?”

Yayai hendal walked away from me.

“Are used to it when men come here? Is this because it's a cosan house?” I'm looking for Yayai. He just kept walking towards his room. “Continue easily hugging men? All boys?”

“Ha? What the hell does that mean?” Yayai stop. He turned his body.

“So that afternoon you easily hugged your friends who met at the restaurant. You hold his hand, his arm, hold.”.

“I'm very close to him first.” reply Yayai cut.

“Mantan?”

“Iya.”

“Ohhh. If not ex means you will not hug like that.”

“I think it's natural, because we're friends now.”

“Not fair! He's your ex!”

Hot face. Yayai why is this so innocent? Even if I were his ex, I'd take a chance. Male instincts.

“Prof you why the hell?! All day piss me off.”

I'm holding my forehead. Too upset. So I threw a towel on the couch and went into the room slamming the door.

“That's like a real kid!” I heard Yayai's little voice but I can still hear her. Then he entered the room.

I'm why the hell? Too jealous and too much. Since there was Yayai, I was right as a child. My feelings are easy going up and down. Not getting wiser. And again, my stomach is hungry. Forced, I went to the kitchen and saw the contents of the refrigerator. There's nothing to eat. Even instant foods like snacks do not exist. I grabbed the juice box and held it up to half. Never mind, the important thing is that my stomach is a little full of water and my stomach is not relapsing. Then decided to sleep in a state of mixed feelings.

(Five)

If only he hadn't made a fuss, I'd have made some food for his dinner. Only he pisses me off! It seems like Prof Ben is looking for something in the kitchen to eat, but no food at all. At the supermarket I was too hasty, even I did not have time to go to the instant food and snack aisle, which I think is just ingredients for the next few days.

I decided to cook tofu soup for him. I should've made a little fuss in the kitchen, he'd be out of the room. He didn't actually come out at all. After cooking, I decided to look at her situation. Knocked on the door many times and called out his name.

“Prof... Prof Ben. Let's eat.” said I have a few times. I knocked on the door of his room and there was no answer. I tried to open the door, and…

The door to the room is open.

Prof Ben's eyes were red, it looked like he had fallen asleep. Hair's messy.

“Ya?”

“I cooked soup tofu. Let's eat.”

“I'm full.” He was still standing behind the door. Not going out.

“Kenyang? I haven't eaten anything yet. Come on, it'll be kumat.” I reminded.

“What do you care?”

At that moment I held my hands together to not pull her messy hair or at least I pulled her shirt and slapped her face.

“I care so much. Because Prof Ben lives in one house with me. If Prof Ben is sick, I'll take care of Prof. I was busy. I'm the one tired. I'm the one who's worried. Yes please if you do not eat.” I took my breath while shaking my head at him. Just incredible! Patience to me God.

I turned and walked to my own room. So tiring. I don't care if I really have to marry him. Every day is a disaster. From the beginning my meeting with him was no good. Maybe it's a sign. But why did my feelings yesterday change with her? I wish I had decided to move from here…

Someone pulled my blanket and lifted my body to the side of the bed that borders the wall. I had a lot of thoughts at the time, so I wasn't very good at falling asleep. I opened my eyes slowly. Someone hugged me.

“PROFFF!!!!!!

Ah, goddamn. I forgot to lock the door. He's arresting me. Locking my feet with his. His hands hugged my waist.

“Content Yayai, you are still worried about me.”

“You ate the soup?” I asked.

He nodded while closing his eyes. What statement is suitable for him? I lost the idea in my brain.

“Keep why Prof is here!” I was half screaming.

“You irritate me.”

“Hey, it should have been me.”

“Conscious talk to me.”

“There is currently no courtesy between us. Even you yourself went into the girls room without permission!”

“I want to hug you.”

I'm mutinous. Crazyhead!

“Can if I'm tired or upset, I want to hug you like this?”

“I'll bother you constantly!”

“I'm happy to hear your voice.” he said smiling.

“Activate once.”

“You who troubling me.” whispered. His voice is so small.

“What?” ask me because I can't hear what he's saying. He whispered.

“Nothing. So when we get married, can I dismantle this wall? I'll buy a rather large bed for us?”

What the fuck!

“Married to you does not mean we can sleep together in one room.”

“Hust dong. Later if Mee comes and sees us sleeping in a different room how?”

I think I want to scream.

But I'm so tired. On the other hand, I felt comfortable and safe being in his arms. I could hear her breathing behind my neck.

I don't know how many hours I slept, I must have slept so well with someone beside me. Until my phone rang loud. In my ear, the ringing of his phone sounded faint so I did not budge either. Until Prof Ben wakes me up and gives me a cell phone.

“Hmmm.” answer.

“Bim, what does elo release hiatus novel First Love?” Riko bombarded me without shading around. Then he read my draft novel. The new one of course.

“Gue can not nerusin. Not because I don't get ideas. But because it's not fair to me.”

“How is it not fair? Elo stay continuein, elo stay in his fiction.”

“Tetep can't, Riko. How about my new story idea? Okay right?”

Prof Ben pulled me close to him.

“Can't you talk in the office?” says slowly. Surely Riko heard his words clearly.

“Oh is very clear. Well I wait in the office.”

Pimply. This time Riko was angry. What happened to my days, God?

“Sleep again. We'll have breakfast together later. I'll drop you off.” said Prof Ben. He peeped my cheek. Not satisfied with that, he picked up the phone I was still holding, because I was still dumbstruck about my conversation with Riko. Prof Ben turned my head towards him. Kiss me right on the lips slowly and carefully. His eyes are still closed. “Yayai, don't call me Prof again. You promised not to call me that.”

Prof Ben came back to kiss me softly. Welcomed it. This morning's kiss made my blood rustle.

“I like you calling it Mas. Start from now.”

I promised in the tape. Probably in an unconscious state. Wait half conscious. I kind of vaguely remember it. Prof Ben held my hand and dribbled towards her. My hands stopped automatically too.

“You know, that night when you seduced me, I satisfied you?”

I backed off a little. I don't get it yet.

“Am I the first time to hold yours?”

I blinked my eyes many times a sign of disbelief.

“That break, you don't remember?”

I wanted to disappear at that moment.

“And you forced me. I can't refuse.”

Can I just kill myself? I looked through my room. There's no sharp object I can reach. Should I stab myself or Prof Ben?

“I hope you understand, why am I so angry when you get too close to men and familiar with them.”

“Prof ..”

I haven't had time to finish my words, Prof Ben grabbed my lips and bit him softly.

“I will bite your lips if you still call me with the frills of Prof.”

I'm gaping.

“You psychopath?”

Prof Ben laughed out loud.

Until her tears came out.

In that careless moment, I began to get up and was about to get out of bed. Prof Ben quickly grabbed me from behind and threw me on my back.

“It looks like I'm a psychopath. So you have to be careful.” He pressed my body.

I'm so scared.

“Prof, you..”.

My lips were snatched back by her. This time my lips really hurt a little. Pulsating.

“I'm getting serious with my call from you.”

“Is this fair, if you also call me not by my name?”

Prof Ben was still biting my lips.

“MASSSS BEEENN my yelling. Rebellious. “Why!!!”

“I don't like it when you talk disrespectfully to me. I'm eight years older.”

Prof Ben let me go, he's now lying next to me. I also wake up.

“I'm not done talking.” He held me with his other hand. “Yayai that's my call for you. L like it. Since we are getting married, may I call you dear?”

“I won't turn.”

Prof Ben smiled.

“Nothing. I'll keep calling you.”

Again, he held my face and faced her towards him. He kissed me back gently.

“Try you call me again.” Prof Ben quit. “I'm so happy.”

“Mas Ben...” I pounced on his lips quickly. Lustful. Then I overcame him. I heard her sigh when she kissed me. My kiss fell on his neck. Switch to his stomach and I'm gonna lower his pants. I could clearly see his hardened possession. Then I got out of bed and ran away from the room.

“SHIT! IAAANG!!! COME HERE!!!”

Shouted Prof Ben in the room.

I just went to the bathroom and washed my face.

Then, busy making breakfast.
