THE CHOICE IN MY LIFE
SECTION 54
“It looks like I dug my own grave tonight?”
“Hmmm . . . What do you mean?”
“What if we sleep? Sleep with me, Tia.”
“What!!” scream Tia.
“Not sleeping as you think, I mean what if we sleep tonight. It's late at night, it's past one o'clock. Even though tomorrow is off, we still have to rest.” Obviously Rio's in a hurry.
“Oh, Okay. Then where do I sleep in the room? I see your house has many rooms.”
“Emmm . . Actually the room was all empty, no furniture at all. Because I never thought there would be someone staying at my house.”
“No one has stayed here before?” tanya Tia was astonished.
“No. Even you're the first guest to come to my house.”
“Are you exiled from your family?”
“Of course not. Don't start thinking strangely. We have one main house here, and all of them are gathered there.”
“Wahhh . . You are indeed a lucky person.”
“Of course I was lucky, especially after meeting you.” Rio's smile expands wide, “I mean a friend like you.” Rio Error.
“So only your room can be used at this time?”
“Stool once.”
“Then, go to sleep, go upstairs. I'll sleep on this couch. This sofa is very comfortable over my mattress at home.” Tia pointed at Rio's room on the second floor and allowed the owner to go up immediately.
“No, no. Today it is still raining heavily, surely you will be cold if you sleep outside, especially with your appearance like that. You'll catch a cold.”
“Means just give me a thick blanket.”
“Cannot. Sleep in my room.”
“You sure?” tanya Tia made sure.
“Of course, go upstairs.” Rio confidently allowed.
“Thanks.”
After that Tia went straight up towards Rio's room, as she tried to close the door of her room but suddenly the door of the room opened again.
“What are you doing? Why did you come in here, Rio?” tia asked curiously.
“Of course I want to sleep.”
“What!” again Tia's screams were so loud.
Rio ignored the protest from Tia and encouraged the beautiful woman from behind to climb onto her bed.
“Why are you sleeping in this room? Didn't you tell me to sleep here?”
“Rubber, but I haven't finished talking. That means you slept in my room with me, of course. I don't want to freeze to death sleeping out there.” Replied Rio who had managed to climb in his bed, on the right side of Tia.
“Tapi . . but . . .”
“Ssssttt . . . already sleep. I promised not to mess around, so you can sleep well tonight.” Rio closed the blanket to Tia's chest.
Tia was already unable to protest because she had actually been holding back her sleepiness ever since she had dried Rio's hair. Tia slept facing towards Rio for fear that if the man broke his promise, the first minute Tia tried to open her eyes just in case, seeing Rio's already closed eyes before her, Tia decided to win her drowsiness and fall asleep.
Rio felt that the woman before him was currently fast asleep, so he could open his eyes. From earlier Rio was actually just pretending to be asleep so that Tia could sleep without worry.
“How can you fall asleep so soundly next to me? You are too careless Tia, what if I attack you suddenly?” rio said in a soft voice. Rio stroked Tia's unraveling hair. Her hair was long with a jet black color, very soft as Rio touched it.

Early in the morning, sunlight peeked out from the crevices of the dark blue curtains. Tia tried to move her body but her body felt heavy like something was restraining her. As he searched for the source of the problem, his eyes immediately widened and fully awakened from his sleep.
“What do you do?” because of his surprise, Tia was able to kick Rio's large body down from his mattress.
“Aduhh . . . What do you do Tia?” rio's protest was still half conscious from his dream.
“Why are you hugging me? Didn't you promise not to mess with me?”
“I didn't do anything to you. And you need to know, it was you who approached me and hugged me.” Rio got up from the floor and went up on his bed again. “I promise you that it won't be anything, but I don't promise not to respond, Tia. You hugged me, and I returned with the same hug. I don't want it if you're the only one who takes advantage when hugging me.”
“Taking advantage of you? Me?” Tia couldn't control her voice volome this morning.
“Since you set foot in my house, why do you always yell!”
“I'm sorry if it bothers me. I'm just surprised. And I think my behavior during sleep has never been like that.”
“Who knows? You sleep, so who knows for sure the person next to you.”
“I'm sorry. What hurts?” tia asked Rio who was still touching his stomach Tia's leg kick.
“Nyeri it.”
“You want to get me some warm water? Or do we need to go to the hospital?” tia asked worriedly because it was her fault.
“No need. Soon it will lose its pain. It's just that I didn't expect, that little leg of yours could push my big body.”
“Yahh . . Maybe that's called the power of surprise? As with the situation when we are afraid of ghosts, our running speed must be faster than professional runners.”
“I know how it feels?”
“Are you afraid of ghosts?” tia asked curiously.
“Currently, not anymore, because I can think rationally. If so, yes. Because I was the smallest child in my family, my cousin used to prank me with bad ideas. Like when I walk at night and run fast leaving me. Back then I was just crying and scared, but right now I was able to avenge them with a pretty hard punch.”
“Do not like that. Everything that we went through as a child will be the most beautiful memory for us. Although the memory is sad or happy, everything will be a separate story for us as adults later.”
“Hahh . . I think you're right.” Rio Swish.
“I'll come down and prepare breakfast for you. Last night I saw some foodstuffs that can be cooked in your fridge. And you can start calling a mechanic to fix the car.”
“OK, soon I'll be down.”
After stopping by the bathroom for a while, Tia came down to cook the breakfast she was going to eat with Rio. Tia took out some eggs and vegetables that she would mix to make an egg omlet. Tia also took out meat that she could saute along with other ingredients. But before processing the main menu, Tia had cooked rice in the rice cooker. He wanted to prepare a meal that Rio could eat at once during the day.
“This is all you shopping, Rio?” tia asked as she watched Rio go downstairs.
“No. It must have been the aunt who took her. My mother must have asked my aunt to buy it. He doesn't want me to keep eating instant food or eating out.”
“You can cook?”
“Slightly. Just a simple menu.”
“Then, where is aunt helping you? I haven't seen it since yesterday.”
“Bi Ina came here while I was working, and went home when I was done cleaning everything. Saturday and Sunday, I'm happy. I want to rest at home without anyone else.”
“Then I? I was here on your day off.”
“Of course you are different. I'm ahead to check my car.”
Tia continued cooking it while waiting for Rio to finish calling the mechanic and fixing his car.
