Solar light had already begun to enter the slit of the thin curtains covering the windows of Maureen's room. Its dazzling light made those round eyes blink slowly. He squirmed, feeling his body so comfortable when he woke up.
“What am I in heaven?” Maureen asked herself.
He looked around his place, he fell asleep on the bed with a mosquito net wrapped around the cold bed. He also saw that he had changed his clothes and a thick blanket covered his body.
“Gosh! Why am I sleeping here?” Maureen surprised herself. He immediately woke up and sat down. Touching the surface of the Mattress in disbelief. The bed that he initially thought was cold turned out to be very warm and made it comfortable.
“Aduuhh my head,” Maureen complained as she felt a throbbing sensation in her head.
He was trying to remember what happened before. Slowly he remembered that the last time he swam in the pool, then the memory of his parents just appeared without him being able to bear. He had tried to reject all those memories but the more he refused, the more vivid the memory became and repeated itself in the cavity of his head.
His chest felt tight as he recalled Renita's last smile as well as Malik's soft voice ringing in his ears. Everything is like an irregular collage.
In addition to his parents, he also dreamed of a man. A man who suddenly came to hug and kiss her. As real as it was, Maureen could feel a sweet and warm soft sensation from the man's lips.
He touched his own lips and somehow his heart rumbled. His face was warm. He cupped the face with a thin smile that he could not bear. This time he woke up feeling calm and happy.
“You're up?” byan's voice was heard in Maureen's room.
Maureen immediately laid down her body again and then covered her body with a thick blanket. He remembered that it was the man who appeared in his dream. Hugging her tightly as if wanting to wipe away all of Maureen's gloom and kiss her gently made her heart beat again. It was as if he had found his new life.
“Still sleepy?” Byan walked over to the nervous Maureen in his blanket. He put his hearing well, estimating where to go Byan. Out of the room or getting closer?
“Build.”
Damn, the man even opened Maureen's blanket and saw clearly Maureen's eyes were rounded in shock like a kitten being ambushed by his employer.
His eyes blinked a few times, especially when Byan's hand suddenly touched his forehead. Her hands are warm and soft. It was also so wide that Maureen's forehead was covered in all.
“Good morning. What's your sleep?” Byan leaned over, leaning his body closer to Maureen until they were very close.
“Pa-gi.” Maureen was shocked to see a dense netra that seemed to touch her eyes. He also saw Byan smiling widely. Her slightly thick lips with thin hair surrounding those reddish-colored lips, made Maureen misfocus. That lip shadow that kissed her last night.
Hah, Maureen's heart is glutinous. The rhythm is irregular. It's very unsafe.
“Wake up, you have to have breakfast. I have prepared it,” said Byan who gave a bonus kiss at the top of Maureen's head.
“Eeemmm...” Maureen's heart murmured softly. His body felt limp as if there were no bones supporting his body.
Is this the name meleyot, as Dita once described? Feeling weak and need a backrest like this?
“Control yourself Maureen.” The contents of Maureen's head began to take over making him immediately aware.
“Don't be rude to me.” Look, the other side of Maureen is already starting to get up. The other side that made Byan smile wryly.
“Good, stepmom. Please don't curse me for being a woof. I don't want to be unfortunate like sangkuriang,” ledek Byan.
Maureen thought for a while, it felt like she was familiar with the term.
“You checked my phone?” Maureen's starting to wake up.
“Yes, because I was so curious about why you fainted and jumped into the pool. I'm afraid someone is threatening you or something.” Just relax, Byan said. He even had time to feed Maureen with the remaining pieces of watermelon.
Funnily enough, Maureen ate it, chewed it in annoyance and swallowed it violently.
“That's privacy Byan! You are not polite.” Maureen spoke in annoyance.
“Privacy what? Everything on your phone is about work. Nothing about personal things at all. Well, besides the fact that Vishnu once teased you and you rejected him sadistically. Good job!” Byan feeds back the pieces of watermelon he took but this time Maureen refuses.
“You're outrageous Byan. I don't like. I hate you, you are not polite!” Maureen took the bolster and was about to hit it at Byan but Byan managed to hold it back.
“If you don't like, then don't make me act too far.” Byan looked at Maureen sharply.
“Don't make me worry about you until I feel like dying. Don't make me mad at everything that makes you desperate until I want to destroy everything. Do not also make me want to unpack the contents of your head to see what you hide until it makes you slump and like to give up.”
“Don't be crazy Maureen, because I can be crazier!” asserted Byan without giving a pause to a long sentence that shows clearly his feelings.
Maureen was stunned, she saw the earnestness that Byan showed from the look in her eyes. I don't know why his chest is like a bulging and tight at the same time. His mouth opened about to say something but then Byan silenced him by saying,
Maureen was speechless. He pulled back the bolster then,
“IKH!!!” he hit it hard on Byan, he was very upset because Byan made his feelings rumble and mix.
Byan let Maureen beat him several times because sometimes his words made him very worthy to be hit.
Maureen had only stopped after hitting Byan ten or eleven times, to be exact until her frustration was gone. His hair fell apart and covered his face and then he blew it violently.
“Do you feel better?” ask Byan.
Maureen did not reply, she just stared fixedly at Byan. What exactly is on this man's mind?
Feeling that there was no answer from Maureen, Byan decided to answer the question in Maureen's head. He grabbed Maureen's waist to get close to her until they were very close. The chests of Byan and Maureen were almost attached.
“You want to know what I think, don't you?” asked Byan with a roaring voice.
“No, I don't need to know.” Maureen was still with her haughty attitude, unwilling to follow her feelings.
“Really? Though I was very excited to show it.” Byan smiled slightly at Maureen.
“Oh yes? Unfortunately I'm not interested.” Maureen smiled cynically making Byan provoked to pull the nape of the woman until the distance of their face was very close. Their noses came crashing.
His breathing sounded roaring withstanding the turbulent Desire within his chest.
“Do it, so that I can see clearly that you are a jerk who only knows what you need,” challenge Maureen.
He deliberately rubbed the chest of Byan's field sensually also rubbed his neck, his carotid pulse pulsing very quickly, indicating that Byan was really smoldering.
But Byan did nothing. He bowed lethargicly before Maureen. He also loosened his embrace on Maureen's waist. He was well aware, besides he loved and wanted this woman, he respected Maureen with all his heart. So for now, he chose to calm himself.
After the turmoil of his feelings gradually improved, he looked back at the face of Maureen who was only a few inches away in front of him.
“I won't go that far and damage your defense unless you ask for it,” Byan said earnestly.
“Good. Good guy.” Maureen smiled lightly and rubbed Byan's left face and patted her gently. He saw clearly the enormous efforts of Byan to control himself against Harsat who could have blinded him.
“Your tie is too tight, this will make you feel suffocated and uncomfortable. I can loosen it up a little bit and make a better knot,” Maureen said as she tidied up Byan's tie.
Byan smiled slightly, at a time like this, Maureen could discuss a tie. Didn't you know that Byan's head is already spaneng?
“Do what you really want to do.” Byan can only step down.
Sure enough, Maureen happily dismantled the tie knot that Byan made. Byan looked at the woman who seemed to enjoy so much while establishing some of these bonds. He also pulls the tie to tighten it and sets it in the right position.
“Handsome,” compliments him with a small smile growing. Just this time he praised Byan and made the man growl in the heart. It felt like he wanted to eat Maureen right now.
“Come out, I want to get ready. Today you have to tell the management what your decision has been about the case. I was also curious to hear it,” Maureen said later.
Byan did not chim in, he chose to move from his place and left Maureen to get ready.
“Byan!” just getting to the door, Maureen called out to him again.
“Ya,” Byan quietly replied.
“Thank you,” Maureen said with all earnestness. He also nodded politely as a form of thanks because Byan could still respect him.
“Sure. Take your time,” timpal that with a small smile etched. Her feelings flowered only because Maureen expressed such deep gratitude for her.
Meanwhile, Maureen ran cheerfully towards her bathroom. He flushed all over his body with cold water. Seeing all the attitudes of Byan, he felt that only this time he was truly loved by a man.
When will he open the door of his heart?
I don't know.
