I've got to Talk


Devara fell asleep all the way home. His body was helpless in the back seat. On Rey's lap.


Maybe because he was so exhausted after spending time shopping and playing as much as possible in the children's arena. Plus his stomach was full.


Soto Madura who ordered ludes, swept by him without any left, following a plate of white rice sprinkled with fried onions.


The boy looked so hungry but seemed reluctant to bribe. For that Rey feeds Devara until there is not a bit of food left on her plate.


Devara who fell asleep so fast that Wibie and Rey did not have the heart to wake her. With sprightly Mr. Wibie carried Devara to his room, after parking the car in the garage and turning off the engine of his car.


Rey was so amazed to see Mr. Wibie who was so dear to his daughter.


"So sweet, really,"


"If I could have a husband like this, ah. happy," Rey began to wonder.


He followed the steps of Wibie who carried his son. Not to forget, Rey brought Devara's grocery bag containing shoes and school bags.


Rey just wanted to make sure the boy's new bag and shoes were in his room so that when he was awake he did not look for the new item he bought it. He would very much like to try it back soon. The behavior of children in general.


Rey placed the bag on Devara's bedside and as she was about to leave the room, Wibie offered her something.


"Will you accompany me for coffee?" asked Mr. Wibie after he laid Devara on his soft bed and took off the girl's shoes.


Not to forget he also turned on the AC in the room so that his son could sleep comfortably. Wibie also restyles her son's clothes that have been revealed everywhere.


Rey nodded. Then the two of them sat on the side terrace which was on the edge of the back garden. The small table and two chairs that are there add to the beauty of the open space that is not so spacious.


Some ornamental plants grow beautifully on the edge of a small pond. Colorful ornamental fish running in the pond make tears as if to follow the movement.


Water poured from artificial cliff mounds and the sound of gurgling water flowing, making the small pool more beautiful and beautiful.


The eyes are refreshed by the greenery of the plants and the air is so cool because the wind from outside makes people feel at home for a long time here.


Ms. Fat came, carrying a small tray in her hand. Contains one teapot that looks to emit smoke and two ceramic cups batik patterned.


"This is the coffee" said the woman.


He placed the tray on a small table, between Wibie and Rey who were smiling at him.


"Lahat Coffee. Which was brought by Mas Wibie yesterday," he explained.


After putting down the coffee, he immediately parted and left the two of them.


"I'm sorry, please. There is still something to be machined in the kitchen," he said for normative reasons


"Thank you, Mom," said Mr. Wibie. He smiled and poured the still hot coffee into the cup until it reached half the cup and handed it to Rey.


"Thank you, sir," said the girl and sipped the coffee quietly.


"Do you like the atmosphere here?" Ask Wibie again. His gaze was straight towards the flowing water.


A cup of hot coffee is in his right hand.


"Srupp," was heard the voice of Mr. Wibie sipping his coffee slowly.


Silent....


Rey mustered all the courage, maybe this is the right time to talk about it. Faster is better so as not to waste too much time


"Sir!" call slowly.


Mr. Wibie looked at Rey immediately after sipping the freshly shaved coffee from his cup.


"Hmmm,"


"I want to tell you something. Maybe I'm someone who doesn't know. It always makes Mr. Wibie difficult. But I have to talk about it. So that there is clarity between us," Rey said with a sigh.


"Hopefully I didn't say anything wrong" she whispered inwardly.


"About what. Just tell me if you think you're gonna make things clear. Tell me, don't bother," he said, smiling and nodding.


"From the first moment I was curious. How much debt do I have to pay? I'll take it out this month" Rey said, recalling how time she really didn't know herself. Ask to be rushed by someone who is not yet well known.


Rey metatap a handsome face that sat so quietly beside her. His face still looks so calm. There was no sign of him being surprised by what he said. He smiled, actually grinning.


Could it be that Mr Wibie has guessed, I will ask him as well?


"How much do you owe?" tanyanya flat. A smile expands from his lips, but it is difficult to guess its meaning.


"Yes, debt is always debt. I have to pay off before death to pick up the body," explained Rey again.


Wibie chuckles. A moment later he sipped back his coffee.


"Now answer honestly. Are you wanting something from me?" she asked with eyes looking hard at Rey.


Rey hush. So is Wibie. The atmosphere became silent for a moment


"Yes" Rey answered honestly.


"Then why do you ask how much you owe. Just think about how you could go to college and send the little money you had to your parents. I think they should know, you're fine here, '" she explained so forcefully.


What he just heard, made the warm feathers on Rey's eyelids shed instantly. Yes, "God, is this man to me?" Rey's whisper in my heart. So shrewd. I don't want to be heard by him.


Rey lowered her face. He did not want Mr. Wibie to see his face that suddenly became sad because touched by his attitude.


"I owe you too. Today you have made my son so happy. It won't pay off by anything. I'm so grateful to you, " she said. It looks so honest.


Rey braced herself to raise her face back. He looked at the face that was now staring at him. Their eyes locked onto each other.


How much Rey wanted to scatter towards him and embrace that body. Really, he was so moved by the man's behavior.


"Tomorrow I'll take you. Choose a college you like and a major you are interested in. Don't think anything. I'll take care of everything" his eyes kept staring at Rey. The beautiful sparkle can be seen so clearly in both eyes.


"Do I look so happy too. Until he doesn't want to take his eyes away from mine?" Whisper Rey in that instant. So shrewd. Enough in the heart.


Rey is so happy. Even very happy. Mr. Wibie is so good at making Rey not want to be away from him.
