THE OWNER OF THE HEART ROOM
44

The closeness of Nawang and Richard which had only become an open secret and ended up being gossip, the more the more obvious the reality.

Nawang also no longer kept his widow's status secret even though his confession also ended up inviting skewed comments that suspected Nawang deliberately divorced because he wanted to pursue Richard.

Nawang chose not to respond to all the things that cornered him.

Only with Bude Darmi and Sasi did he speak honestly about the cause of his divorce.

He believed both could keep what was worth keeping a secret.

His closeness to Richard did not try to be hidden anymore.

The man almost every day trying to meet, whether at home or in the office.

Nawang also felt more comfortable with the existence of Richard in recent days.

Are they dating again?

Nawang did not dare to say yes because in fact Richard never shot him to this day.

Nawang more assume they are in a relationship without status.

For now, Nawang is comfortable with his condition.

After all he was single and - knowing him and Richard's confession - also - the man was also without a partner.

Does Nawang expect the relationship to escalate to a more serious level? Of course, if he is allowed to hope by the universe.

But Nawang remained grounded on earth.

He's always self-aware, who he is Richard.

He only dared to hope, but did not dare to dream.

He was afraid that reality would stab him later, like their love story in the past.

Although Richard said his parents now free him to choose a life partner, but Nawang chose not to expect too far.

Even if Richard's parents have softened, it doesn't mean he's their daughter-in-law's hope, does it?

He had to keep thickening his self-defense wall of pain if Richard suddenly walked out of his life and lived his own happy life with the woman of his choice.

******

Today Nawang and Richard just left the beach after from the morning they played on the beach with their two children.

Darren and Bintang have fallen asleep on the back bench due to exhaustion.

Even after leaving the beach bathroom area, they said they were hungry and asked to eat.

Not far away, it turned out that the two boys had fallen asleep.

Richard decided to let them just sleep at his house later.

When they wake up, they are invited out to eat.

He told Anin that Darren would stay at his house tonight.

We stopped by the house before, didn't we, Don?" asked Richard more to offer.

"Your house is further away from my house, Mas" said Nawang with a laugh.

O yes, now Nawang has begun to be more accustomed to call Richard 'mas', like when they were in High School.

The word YOU and I have also begun to be used Nawang only when they are in a working atmosphere.

Richard was very happy with that fact.

He felt his old Master had returned.

"Where do you know my house?" asked Richard with a look of contempt.

He knew, Nawang must have thought that what he called the house was his apartment that he had invited Nawang to stop by because Richard had to take the key to the document safe.

Instead of following Richard to his apartment, Nawang stopped his steps as soon as he arrived at the apartment lobby and chose to wait for him there.

"Yes you know. I thought you had stopped by that time." replied Nawang confidently.

"Who did you choose to wait in the lobby? Afraid I'll do anything about going up?" ledek Richard's.

"Yes." answered Nawang while looking embarrassed.

"That's called an apartment, not a house. The apartment was home piled up a lot, inhabited by many families. If the house, only one building and usually the occupants are one family. Understood?" asked Richard deliberately mocked Nawang.

"understand!" nawang replied annoyed.

"Well, now you I'm going to take me to my house, which you don't know yet" Richard explained.

"Living alone, living in two has everything" said Nawang nyinyir.

"His name is also rich." said Richard in the style of songong.

"Yahuuuu!"

"Mumpung still healthy, can produce a good fortune, there is no harm in buying for investment. Can be given to the child later. Or if you suddenly need a large fund, can be sold again" said Richard seriously.

Nawang agreed.

"In eastern Jogja anyway. The nyari on the edge is rather cheap." replied Richard with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Nawang really would not believe that a Richard was still thinking about a price.

"Buy the land to build or buy it already?" ask Nawang.

"Buy land. Keep building little by little" replied. Richard humbled.

"Where there are rich people there are terms bit by bit." said Nawang while glancing sadistically.

Richard laughed crisply.

It had been imagined in his mind how later when Nawang saw his house.

Surely the woman will be stunned and can-taboki his arm because of his surprise.

Women are mostly like that.

Always hit anyone nearby if you are very happy or stunned.

A strange habit in the world.

"That means that during.this you don't always live in an apartment, Mas?" ask Nawang prank.

"Often in apart. Sometimes we come home. If there is work near the house." replied Richard casually.

His eyes glanced at the rearview mirror of the car to see if - if one of the leaks behind already awake, but apparently they have not seen any movement.

"The rich really are. Make a house just to stop by." muttered Nawang.

"The idea is that I live with my wife's children. If his son has stock, but his wife does not exist." asloh Richard.

"Why not live alone first? Who knows if you live there is a girl who is cute" said Nawang while laughing mocked.

"House when I live alone, I amaaang. I'm afraid that it's booby itself there" Richard replied in a spoiled tone.

"Come, like a boy!" sergeant Nawang.

"That's me boy! Handsome old boy." Richard replied then laughed.

"Look!" nawang said in a sebel tone.

Richard moved his lips.

"You want something wet?" richard asked half a whisper.

"No!" nawang replied firmly when he saw the glint in Richard's eyes even if only for a moment.

"You're not cool!" richard said, angry.

"Emang! Trus why?" sergeant Nawang fierce.

"It can only make money but never give me the medicine" Richard said casually with a smile.

Nawang laughed while shaking.

What model is this try?

"Within' a bang, sir?" asked Nawang while still laughing.

"I mean it anyway, ma'am." Richard replied with a chuckle.

"We've arrived" Richard said as the car had exited the highway and was now entering a small, paved road.

His eyes were immediately treated to a wide expanse of several rice fields on the left right of the road then began to meet with rows of rice fields interspersed with several house buildings.

Richard's car stopped in front of a white-walled house with a two-meter-high wooden gate.

Nawang saw a man slightly older than him rushing up from inside the tent of the angkringan stall that was in front of the fence of the house.

The man smiled at the two of them before rushing to open the gate.

"Matur nuwun Mas Prapto" said Richard a bit fast then drove his car through the gate

Richard glanced at Nawang who looked stunned since they were in front of the gate earlier.

And at this time Nawang was transfixed to see the beautiful building in front of him.

A colonial-style house with long windows along the walls.

fore.

And what really stole his attention was the red door.

Very contrast with the color of the walls and window frames are absolute white.

And what makes him more stunned again is when he saw there is a large pool that is like circling the house.

When getting out of the car, Nawang only realized that to get to the terrace of the house, there is only one access, which is a fairly wide bridge that stands curved above the fish pond.

"This house of yours, my dear?" asked Nawang with a look of disbelief.

His eyes looked back at the front of the house.
