Stepmom Cold Bed
Video calls

By nightfall, they reached the shuttle location. They were about to return to the city but it seemed like the wind was not very friendly.

“Kak, fishermen advise us to spend the night here because of the wind conditions are starting to tighten. They dare not take us sailing. How do we dong?” whispered Dita who began to fret.

“Quiet, I'll ask the head of that project. You wait a minute,” reply Maureen.

He immediately approached the head of the project who was pressing the site plan that he showed Maureen.

“Pak, is there any lodging here? Looks like we haven't been able to get back to the inn.”

“Oh no miss. One of the houses in the localization area is still empty. If it's acceptable, miss can use it. His house is not far from the dock. If miss will stay there, let me take between.”

“Good, please take us.”

“By pleasure, miss,” sahut man with eastern Indonesian language.

They also immediately headed for the house that would be the place they stay. The house is not too big, dominated by wooden building materials and lighting only by using a small incandescent lamp that turns yellowish.

Maureen looked around the house. It was quite dark and far away from the other house.

“Electricity in this area is often affected by blackouts because it is not stable. Miss can use the lamp pertomax, the fuel is fully charged.” The man put a petromax lamp on the living room table and a box of matches nearby.

“Good, thank you sir.”

After completing the task, the man returned to the project site while Maureen and Dita stayed in the house.

“Kak clay, my skin is very striped,” complained Dita while wiping her dry skin because all day exposed to the sun.

Maureen checked the skin of her arm and right, her skin was also striped.

“Nothing, exotic is beautiful and sexy.” Entertain maureen while patting Dita's shoulder. He went to the sink to wash his dry, stiff face. Maybe because too long exposed to direct sunlight.

“Yes too, people bule aja deliberately yaa come to our country for sun bathing, this we just enjoy it for free.” Dita put her body on the bed. He patted his simple mattress and not too thick.

“Iya. So let's enjoy it. Later if we have returned to Jakarta, we can no longer sun bathing. Must take leave first which is not necessarily approved.  Aye right?”

“Hahahaha Maureen really likes to talk. The air of Jakarta is equally dry skin, the heat only makes us angry because the temperature of the earth increases. I feel more at home here I am. Origin use the same sun screen moisturizing a lot."

"Aduuhh, I'm tired of being scared, I want to sleep. Want to take a bath males, very cold.” He laid his body on the bed. His spine has asked to be straightened.

Maureen smiled slightly at Dita's behavior. He actually wanted to rest his body but he still had to report to his boss.

“I call young master first yes,” say goodbye Maureen while moving on. He held his thumb as a form of consent.

On the terrace of the house Maureen is currently located. It faces towards the pier not far from its place. Probably only about two or three kilos. The position of the house at a height that is enough to make Maureen can feel the calm atmosphere with dim lighting illuminated pertomax lights from a fishing boat that is at sea.

The night was getting late and Maureen decided to contact Byan. Since afternoon he has not reported because the condition of the network is not too good when in the conservation area. The boss must have been waiting for the latest update.

One call was made and Byan quickly answered it.

“Hay, you finally contacted me. Have you arrived at the inn?” the man asked quickly. It looks like he was waiting for a call from Maureen.

“Yes, I'm already at the inn at the project location. I'm a kemaleman and will stay here,” explained Maureen. He moved from his place, standing leaning against the pillar of the house. He wanted to enjoy the cold night wind.

“Why can it be? Where have you been all day?” Byan sounded anxious.

“I went around the project location directly to the conservation area and it turns out the trip is quite far. So we went home. Lucky there is one of the houses that have not been inhabited, so we can stay here.”

“Thank God. You worked too hard today. Aren't you tired?” Byan was really worried about Maureen.

“Lumayan is tired but I enjoy it. Maybe because what I saw along the way was a forest view that I never saw in Jakarta. The atmosphere is cool and soothing. I suggest, next time you come to this place.”

“Yes, I'll be there when my feet heal.” Byan looked at his feet that were still wrapped in bandages. If there were no problems with his leg, it was certain he would go with Maureen.

“I've removed the cast. I also learned to walk by crutches. It feels more comfortable. You want to see it?” tawang Byan's.

“Bby. Send us the photo,” Maureen took the initiative.

“No, we video call aja,” timpal Byan suddenly.

“Hah, video call?” Maureen surprised herself. I don't know why his heart is beating so fast. That was ordinary.

There was no answer from Byan other than his call that turned into a video call. Maureen was nervous herself but had no other choice but to answer her. He tried to look calm as usual.

“Hay,” greet Byan who shows her smile. The man was already dressed casually with slightly messy hair after shampooing. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Maureen's beautiful face on her phone screen.

“Hay,” Maureen replied to him stiffly.

“Dark?” Byan tried to shift the awkwardness when looking at Maureen.

“Iya, here the light is just a five-watt incandescent lamp. But you see, there is a dock, very beautiful looking from here.” Maureen flipped her camera to let Byan see the scene behind her.

“Good,” Byan was stunned for a while, imagining what the atmosphere was like there. Looking at Maureen's hair that was occasionally blown away by the wind, it seemed like the atmosphere there was quite cold.

“You don't wear a jacket?” byan asked as the camera again caught Maureen's face. He propped up his chin with his right hand and looked at the woman before him, wistfully. He missed this woman.

“My package is dirty with soil. By the way, look at your feet.” Maureen recalled the reason she made a video call with Byan.

“Oh yes, this.” Byan showed his feet that were under the table.

“What still hurts?” maureen's gaze turned worried.

“Not too. Only occasionally if I move too much.”

“Thank God,” Maureen smiled slightly as she looked again at Byan's face.

For a moment they looked at each other, expressing their feelings through the eyes.

“Why?” maureen asked as Byan suddenly smiled.

Byan shook his head and turned his gaze in the other direction. Can be seen his face is blushing because in the face of Maureen.

”Nothing. I just look at you all right,” I'm Byan really.

“Oh yes?” Maureen scrunched her forehead in doubt.

“Iya, i-“

Suddenly Byan's sentence came to a halt as his phone screen turned dark. Though there was something important that he wanted to tell Maureen.

“Hah, why this? Maureen?” call Byan but there is no answer from Maureen and the exclusion is cut off.

“What's the signal anyway?” Byan started to panic on his own.

He immediately contacted Maureen again but Maureen's number was not active.

“Jeez, where is he? Did he fall? Huh huh? Why did he say?” Byan is panicking. Byan repeatedly contacted Maureen but Maureen's number remained inactive.

“Maureenn, come on why are you so inactive?” byan's face was really tense.

He never thought, what happened to Maureen?
