Oh My Cecunguk
One roof with another

While dragging the suitcase, I walked down the small alley. Accompanied by Kevin who had been ranting about the environment in this place. Which he thought was a bit shabby and the road was too small.

"Still far away, Ly? " ask Kevin, again. I don't know how many times he asked that. We walked about two hundred meters.

"Not a moment until," I said as I continued to step.

"There's no other way, Ly. It's too narrow, '" he lamented. He is seen tilting his body when a motor passes.

"Why not take the big road that a car can take."

"Nothing, Mom. If there is, I can't take you so tired of walking this way," I explained.

"Well, we arrived" I said shortly afterwards. I opened the gate, let Kevin in, and then closed it again.

"This is where you live, Ly?" ask Kevin. His forehead creased as he observed the two-story building consisting of several of those rooms.

I'm nodding. "More precisely there," I said as I pointed at one of the rooms on the second floor.

"Come on," take me to Kevin. The man walked after me, up a small ladder made of iron carved with grapes.

I reached into the bag. Looking for the key to the room I had previously given the rabbit-shaped, pink hanger. After getting that thing. I quickly put it into the lockout hole and turned it to the left.

"Come in" I said after the door opened. I hurried to turn on the lights and the air conditioner. So Kevin doesn't get too hot when I'm at my new place.

Kevin looked closely at this room. Every corner did not escape the sweep of his eyes. "There's no living room like a kitchen, Ly?" tanyanya while dropping on the bed. Yeah, that's the only place he can sit.

I opened the fridge, took out a bottle of mineral water. Then I walked over to Kevin.

"Nothing, Mom. This is a boarding room not an apartment."

"There's no better place, Ly. It's too small and narrow" he lamented, again.

I opened the bottle of mineral water. Then leave it to Kevin. Then I sat my body beside him.

"Nothing, Mom. Almost all the hostels in the capital area are this size. There are even smaller ones than this. It's pretty big here" I said, explaining.

"But I think it's still too narrow, Ly," he said after downing the mineral water until half is left.

I didn't answer. Actually, this room isn't what Kevin said. The size is quite large. It was just that the man was already used to being in an even bigger room. So that was the reason why he considered this place cramped.

We both turned our heads when we heard the laughter of some men, as well as the thumping sound of footsteps climbing the stairs. Not long after that some people were heard passing in front of my room.

" Who are they, Ly?"

I shrugged my shoulders, not understanding. "Maybe the neighbor who lives next door" I said.

"I don't live with them, Mum. I'm alone here."

"But they live next to you, Ly."

"Yes in the next room. Not in a room with me."

"Just keep them one roof with you, Ly."

I laugh. "What if we had one roof, Mom?" many wonder.

"I'm afraid one of them is in love with you, Ly. Like your secantor friends."

Hearing Kevin's words just now, I thought back to Mr. Sandi, the chief director of my company. I used to tell him, if my heart ever told me love. He also said that he was serious and intended to make me his wife. But I refused because I was with Kevin. In addition, he also has a wife. So even though he was rich and handsome enough not to make me then accept it.

"That's not gonna happen, Mom. Not everyone will fall in love with me. Kevin take it easy."

"Maybe it happened, Ly. You're beautiful and nice. Anyone can fall for you, Ly. Plus you live under one roof. Every day you meet each other. It could be not just one of them falling in love with you but it could be the other way around. You're the one who fell for one of those who lives here" Kevin grumbled.

I looked at him in wonder. This time he said at length. "Is Kevin jealous?" my many.

"Of course I'm jealous, Ly. They live with you, every day you are together. While I'm away from you, Ly. I can't stay with you and I can't always be there for you" she said in frustration.

"What's wrong with you, Mom. Why talk like that?" I was a little surprised. It was not usually that the man looked helpless. Now he looks insecure. It's so different from before.

Kevin looked at me. Looking at me with a worried face.

"I'm afraid you're tempted by other men, Ly. I'm afraid you're leaving me."

I turned my sitting position. A little slanted, facing Kevin. "Listen, Mas. Trust me I will never be tempted by anyone" I said convincingly.

"My heart is only yours. There is no other and there will never be another. Want to be as handsome or as good as any man who comes to me. They won't be able to change let alone shift your position in my heart. To me you're the one and the last for me."

Kevin looked at me, deep. Reading the whole expression on my face. We looked at each other for a while. Until I finally ended the scene with each other. I closed my eyes. With Kevin's face approaching. I could feel his breath sweeping across his face. And the softness of her lips when she touches mine.
