Remember Me Please, Hubby!
BE CAREFULL!

"What time are you coming home from college, Vin?" Audrey asked Alvin who was wearing his shoes on the front porch.

"Maybe afternoon, brother! Audrey wanna drop something?" Alvin asked back.

"I want to eat grapefruit. The round one in red, the large fruit," Audrey answered a little to Alvin.

"In the front of the complex there is nothing?" Alvin asked furrowed both of his brows.

Audrey nodded quickly.

"Said the mother of the fruit seller is not yet in season. But maybe if you go around the market there is a sell," explained Audrey again and Alvin only beards.

"I'll just go to the market to take a taxi later and look for it myself" Audrey finally broke up.

"To a market close by, brother! Not another market! Later if you still can't Audrey call Alvin. Let Alvin get him home from college" Alvin told Audrey.

"All right!" Audrey nodded in understanding.

"Tante Viola usually comes home at what time?" Audrey asked Alvin next.

Today Aunt Viola and Om Alex are indeed having an event outside.

"I said it wasn't late afternoon. Brother's okay, right at home alone until the afternoon?" Alvin was worried.

"It's okay, Vin! I'm not a baby!" Audrey replied, chuckling.

"Alright, Alvin go to college first, sister!" Pamit Alvin is wearing his backpack. The young man continued to wear a helmet on his head.

"Tighten that helmet strap!" Audrey's message that only makes Alvin grin and Audrey's cousin hastily tightened his helmet strap.

"Bye!" Alvin waved at Audrey before pushing his bike out of the gate.

Audrey immediately closed the front gate, and the woman chose to take a bath first before going to the market looking for grapefruit.

****

Kyle had just arrived home, after buying food, when the man saw a taxi that stopped in front of Aunt Viola's house. Not long after, Kyle saw Audrey who was riding into the taxi alone.

Where's Alvin or Aunt Viola?

Why would Audrey go by herself in a taxi?

Kyle does not go into the house and re-wears his helmet, then follows a taxi driven by Audrey.

****

Kyle was still trailing Audrey's taxi, which seemed to be heading towards a market not far from the complex. The taxi stopped near a row of fruit vendors. Kyle chose to park his bike a little further away so as not to make Audrey suspicious.

Kyle took off his helmet and changed into a black hat and mask that covered his face. Kyle's eyes remained watchful as Audrey walked slightly limped towards one of the fruit-seller stalls. Audrey's already so large and rounded stomach, seemed to slightly hinder the steps of Kyle's wife.

Kyle slightly drew closer to Audrey who was picking at the fruit in front of him without any interest. Looks like Audrey wants another fruit.

"The balloons don't exist, do they, sir?" Audrey asked the fruit seller.

"Not in season yet, Nope! Not yet on ripe fruit!" The fruit seller replied that immediately made Audrey show a look of disappointment on her face.

Audrey continued her steps towards the next fruit stall and the question was still the same. Ask about the existence of the grapefruit that does not exist until the last fruit stall.

Audrey took a deep breath and was disappointed to not find the fruit she was looking for. The pregnant woman returned to walking and a little daydreaming, when suddenly the wallet in her hand was forcibly seized by a foreign youth. Audrey who was shocked just stood by while her purse was carried away by the pickpocket.

"Drug!" audrey who still looks shocked.

"Drug!" Audrey yelled again at the people around her. But no one seemed to care, except for a man in a hat and mask who immediately swiftly pursued the pickpocket, shortly after the uncivilized pickpocket snatched Audrey's wallet.

Kyle continues to pursue the pickpocket carrying Audrey's wallet, and it doesn't take long, Kyle has managed to knock out the copet who turns out to be the boy.

Goddamn bum!

"Sorry, Om! I'm hungry" said the copet with a clear face.

Kyle held his hand and did not reward the copet with a raw bogem. Especially considering Audrey who was heavily pregnant, making Kyle instantly hold back the emotions in her chest.

Kyle took Audrey's purse and took it out of his pocket, and gave the boy some blue notes.

"To buy food! And don't be a copet anymore!" Kyle's message before leaving leaves leaving the boy who is now slumped on the sidewalk.

Kyle immediately walked back towards Audrey who had apparently caught up with him and the pickpocket earlier. Audrey's face was still shocked and confused.

"Your wallet, Miss!" Kyle returns Audrey's wallet while, a little confirming the location of her hat.

Audrey looked at Kyle's face with only her eyes. The woman pegged for a moment because it was like knowing the look in the eye.

Could it?

No way!

It can't be Kyle!

"Other times be careful and don't daydream in public places" Kyle's message, whose voice is muffled slightly by the black mask he wears.

Audrey just nodded and slightly misbehaved because of the gaze from the man who had just saved her wallet. Audrey looked at Kyle's eyes.

But this guy can't be Kyle, can he?

Didn't Kyle know that Audrey was in Bali right now?

Mama, Papa, and Zayn's brother just don't know where Audrey is, so how'd Kyle know?

So maybe this is just a foreign man who happens to have eyes similar to Kyle's.

Or maybe Audrey missed her husband so much that Audrey hallucinated?

"Miss!" Kyle's voice still standing in front of Audrey, immediately startled the woman and broke Audrey's daydream.

"Don't daydream in public places!" Kyle's message once again and Audrey again nodded misbehaviorally.

It just so happened that there was a taxi passing by, so Audrey hurriedly stopped her and got into the taxi without saying goodbye to the foreign man who had just helped her.

Audrey did not stop thinking about the stranger.

It was late afternoon, when the sound of Om Alex's car came into the garage.

Audrey, who had been sitting in her most comfortable position on the sofa while watching a cartoon show on television, was reluctant to move or welcome Om and Tante who had just returned home.

"Sore!" Sapa Aunt Viola while commenting on the smile on her lips.

"Sore, Auntie! Is it over for the honeymoon?" Audrey replies a little teasing to her ageless tant.

"Already, dong! Soon the sister for Alvin will be and Aunt Viola will be your direct rival!" Sahut Om Alex who has come after entering the house.

"What the hell, Pi! I'm old too, when I still want to have a baby," decak Aunt Viola who suddenly made Audrey and Om Alex laugh at the same time.

"What's this, Auntie?" audrey asked, pointing to the plastic bag of black watna that was carried by Aunt Viola.

"Well, the new aunt wants to ask you, what is this?"

"Where does Audrey know? It's Auntie who brought it," Audrey frowned not understanding.

"Tante found it hanging from the front fence. There's your name, so tabte thinks you're forgetting food, "Aunte Viola's story makes Audrey frown in confusion.

Audrey opened the black package and immediately found two large Balinese oranges.

"Balinese Orange? You crave Balinese oranges?" Ask Aunt Viola to investigate.

"Yes, Audrey was out on the market and nobody was selling. How does anyone send them home now?" Audrey replied a little confused.

Audrey also hasn't called Alvin if he doesn't get the grapefruit at the market near home. So this is definitely not Alvin's job. Then who sent it to Audrey?

The home phone rings. Alex who was closest to the phone picked it up.

"Hello!"

"Hello, Papi? Already home?"

Apparently Alvin called.

"Yes, already! Where are you crawling? Why leave Audrey alone?"

"Ck! Alvin's class till afternoon, Pi! It just came out of class. Did Audrey get her grapefruit yet? Last morning he said cravings for grapefruit."

"Already! Someone just drove her home. Don't know from whom" replied Alex.

"Huh! Good then! Alvin will go straight home," concluded Alvin before the call was cut off. Om Alex put the phone back in place.

"Judah you eat, Audrey! Consider it the sustenance of a good man!" Aunty Viola's advice as she patted Audrey on the shoulder.

Audrey just nodded, and the pregnant mother immediately got up to her feet to the kitchen to open the grapefruit that looked tempting.
