Marriage Proposal: Ben & Bima
34 - Temporary Move

(Ben)

Along the way to take Tasya that night, I kept quiet more. Sometimes Tasya talks to me, maybe because it's bad for me because I'm too quiet.

“Prof, if you teach again next semester, many continue to pursue Prof on campus how?”

“Yes no how-gimana.” I replied. What do I want to answer.

“But these students are aggressive. Know what it means?”

I'm speechless.

Yayai.

On the way home, Yayai and I did not speak at all. I stole Yayai's conversation with Tasya earlier. I wanted to ask him if he really loved me or not? Only I can't accept the fact that Yayai doesn't really love me. It was enough that I felt such great disappointment first.

Flashbacks, flashbacks,

I opened my eyes slowly. What I felt when I realized was my feet that felt painless and not boned. Yes, I folded my legs so that the woman who was with me in the small well could sleep soundly and stretch her legs a little, because her body was smaller than mine.

I thought, after graduation, Pho left Mee and me, fell into the well for 5 days, and that included not eating, not drinking. In my other mind, I felt it was a blessing. My heart was pounding when I remembered it. This is my first time. I have set my life partner. The effect is too excessive.

I got out of bed and I heard the door open. Mee entered by chance with the doctor. Mee was so happy that she cried to see me sober.

“Mee, does Mee know the same woman I am? The one in the well?” my many.

The doctor was gone from there. Mee who had been peeling the apple peels for me, because I did not like the hard apple peels, fell silent.

“Oh Milky name?”

I frowned.

“Name Yayai.”

“Ha? Ngaco you, Ben.” Mee focused again on her apple. “Spend the apples, later Mee accompany to his place.”

“Is she okay?”

Mee nodded with a smile and gave me another piece of apple.

“Yes he's fine. Even you are not okay.”

“Why?”

“You're severely dehydrated. While he is not dehydrated.”

I was shocked to the wrong behavior. I put my body back in the ward and cleared my throat.

Now, now,

“Yayai, you don't want to clean up your stuff?” after a long time on my way home, I finally spoke.

Yayai squeezed the house keys.

“Besok only.” replied.

“I help you tonight.”

“Tonight?” Yayai rolled her eyeballs.

“Iya tonight. Just close your desk with newspaper and all the stuff, your desk, your closet, your couch, have to be taken out of your room.”

“If you? Why don't you take the stuff out of your room?”

“I will be here every day monitoring.”

Yayai nodded.

We agreed to stay in this house after marriage. Yayai does not want to live in an apartment. I haven't asked her why she doesn't want to live in an apartment.

“Why don't you want to stay in an apartment after marriage?” many finally.

“Hmmm... I'd rather stay home.” she replied as she folded the shirt and gave it to me. I put it in the box. Composing it.

“Not living in a simpler apartment?”

“I imagine having a family at home. I used to have a house around here. Not far from this complex.” Yayai is still focused on taking clothes from her closet. The closet's too neat in my opinion. “Mama same my brother died in a car accident. I've since Junior High also lived alone, away from Papa.”

“Sorry to hear that.” I really feel bad.

“Then no Mama and sister, Papa came home. Resign and start a lodging business in kampung.” he explained. “So, I leave clothes that I would not have worn in the closet?”

I'm nodding.

“I really want to stay with Papa. Only Papa is always sad to see me, so I think I better split with Papa.” He continued his story.

DEG. My heart seems to stop. This kid is too melancholic as it turns out, but is intentionally strong.

“Means I'm always focused on my goals. I ignore things that make me unfocused.”

“Means you always forget.”

“Maybe..” Yayai thought. “It's just this.”

There may be one small box and one large suitcase that he brought to the apartment.

Flashbacks, flashbacks,

I was helped walking by Mee. My feet are still limp. My room with Yayai's room isn't that far away. Mee opened the door slowly and smiled at men probably in their early 40s. When the man saw me, he was immediately startled and spoke to Yayai who was sitting staring at the window. There is a magazine on his lap. I don't know what magazine he read.

“Who? The one in the well?” Yayai saw me confused. “I don't know, Pa.” he told the man, he's his Papa.

“Bima, you can't..”.

“Yayai? It's me Ben.” I said. As I walked closer, Yayai somewhat rewinded her body backwards. I finally stopped seeing her act like that. I was only a meter away from him.

“I don't know you.”

At that moment, my world collapsed. I can accept Pho leaving me because I have to strengthen Mee so as not to be sad. This it? He doesn't remember me? Who strengthened me?

(Five)

I got to an apartment with Papa and Ben. The apartment is not too big and not too small. Everything is complete, like a hotel. I feel bad.

“Mas Ben is too good.” whispered. Unpleasant. This is the facility Ben gave me.

“Ya how? Where do you want to go? While the house was renovated.” whispered as well.

“Bim, you do not sleep alone here?” ask Papa.

I'm nodding.

“Not anything, is it? I am usually alone here. If you want to buy food or there is a need far also have to go down.” said Papa.

Aye right. That's why I don't like living in an apartment.

“In fact if Chloe is here, it might be able to accompany me.”

Ben wasn't sleeping anywhere. He can sleep in any room in the house. Because he had to monitor his renovation. Actually the work is hard, because he also has to work and go home tired. The house is in disarray due to renovation.

Well, why should you think about him?

“Iya later I bring Chloe here.”

I smiled happily.

So, Papa finally returned to Yogyakarta. This time on a plane. Ben also drove her to the airport. After that, until night, I was alone in the apartment. Going to the office, but for what? I also decided to open the laptop along with the TV. I read various comments from my Announced for a hiatus on First Love and got positive comments on my new novel, Amazing Love. I even found Tasya's account in the comments. I was focused on continuing the Amazing Love story and I fell asleep.

When I wake up, my thighs feel warm. It turns out Chloe slept in my lap.

“Chloe...” I stroked her and moved her to the sofa. I stood up and looked for someone in the apartment. There aren't. Ben really doesn't exist. I saw the wall clock, tonight it showed at one o'clock. I tried to call Ben but his phone was off. No trace of him sending me a short message.

Maybe it was too busy. I try to be ordinary, so I don't get carried away. The next morning, my stomach was hungry and my body was heavy. Like someone is beating. I twisted my body…

Ben's!

I let go of her hand that was holding my waist but she didn't let go.

“I'm tired. Take a short nap here.” he said hoarsely.

“Ngapain you here?”

“I can't sleep at home. Dusty once.”

This freaking. He'll sneak into the apartment. There was no way he could sleep in the house that was being renovated.

“You will sleep here until the wedding day arrives.”

“Iya looks like.”

“If Mee knows how?”

“Do not tell dong.” He's getting tight hugging me.

“I'm hungry.” I said while forcing my way out of it.

“Oh yes I am hungry too. Make breakfast.” he said. He's unwinded.

“Did you eat last night, Mas?” I became suspicious.

“I eat.. fried rice at eight o'clock.” said.

I got off the bed and headed for the kitchen. The kitchen is so small. My space is not as fast as usual. I finally made breakfast. I was about to wake Ben up to the room, what I saw was the sight of Ben holding his laptop in focus.

“Come breakfast.” take me.

He was initially focused on his laptop.

“Mas Ben, let's have breakfast.” take me again.

He woke up and saw me.

“But cepet?”

At a time like this, I don't want to upset him.

He put his laptop on the bed and lifted the blanket and stood up. I walked in front of him, at the same time he pulled my hand.

Well, what's up. It seems to me that being with him always feels unsafe.

“Yayai dear, I want you to listen to my orders.”

“Hmm?” I frowned.

“I have to take care of the work that piles up until the wedding day. There's so much I have to take care of.”

I'm cheering. Quiescent.

“This one I want fittings jas.”

I'm still quiet. He's grabbing my waist. Her breath hunts down my face every once in a while.

“I hope, you don't do things out of bounds. Take Mee's marriage seriously.”

“What am I doing?” I don't accept.

“Forget me. I will rarely meet you.”

“Where are you going?”

“Still here.”

“Then?” I still don't understand.

“I'll probably sleep in the office, check the home renovation..”.

“Oke.” I let go of his hand and walked.

“No word in the least? Not disappointed? Worry?” tanyanya.

“No.” I replied flat.

“You're happy yeah I'm not in your bed every night?”

“Happy once.” I smiled broadly.

“OK I will be forced to go home and sleep with you. Just hugging you.”

I let out a breath. Ever since Ben was in my life, I think my mind's been growing.

“If you can go home, why not go home?”

Ben smiled mischievously.

“Well...You would be weird if I didn't come home?”

“No way.” my word flat.

Ben drank a glass of water.

“OK I'm going home. But I don't guarantee I can chat a lot with you, because my tv will be launching late tomorrow. A few days after we got married.”

“Can I send you food?” I glanced at. Be kind to her.

“Oh good idea. If you don't mind, you can come to me while carrying supplies?”

“Ih, very lazy. Kan I said, I send food, not me bring food.”

“Yayai... make me happy little.” Ben pouts.
