THE OWNER OF THE HEART ROOM
45

Richard smiled gently.

"Yes. Interesting?" asked Richard while standing straight beside Nawang while hiding both of his palms inside his cream-colored knee-length chinos pocket.

And Nawang somehow almost cried.

He remembered very well, what was before his eyes was the realization of the ngasal image he had made while he was still dating Richard back then.

At that time they talked about their dream home.

Richard drew a stilt house complete with a tea garden and many horses around it.

While Nawang drew a house of Dutch colonial architecture complete with a fish pond that surrounds the house and flower gardens in a spacious yard.

Richard laughed as Nawang dyed the door in red.

"Let's not all white monotony. Let there be greget. Like life, then there is no dynamic, boring" said Nawang philosophized.

"White is identical to his black opponent, why did you choose red?" ask Richard at the time.

"Black is synonymous with sadness, I don't want that. Sadness doesn't have to be shown to everyone. Better the red. In addition to eye catching, red it depicts spirit and courage. We must be uplifting and brave to face life, and fight boredom in life." Nawang explained with a face full of enthusiasm.

"Mas..." Nawang's voice choked, joined by tears that had been rushing through his cheeks.

"I don't know why I want to make a house like your dream. At that time, I did not know if we would meet again. At least I can be proud of myself, I can realize one of your dreams, even though maybe you will never know. But thank God, we can meet again and you can see your dream home first" Richard said quietly.

Gently grasped Nawang's fingers that froze beside his body.

"I have a dream with this house. But I'm not sure I can make it happen" Richard said softly and sounded sad.

"Why?" asked Nawang gently but full of curiosity.

Richard shook his head slowly then chose to force a smile.

Nawang did not try to force Richard to explain again.

Maybe it was a very private thing for Richard, and Nawang had no right to touch it.

"Lord....!" darren's voice from inside the car made Richard and Nawang turn towards the car.

Darren and Bintang were laughing in the car window.

Richard rushed over to the two to help them get down.

"Udah on waking. So hungry isn't it?" asked Richard while lowering the Stars.

"Still." Darren replied as he patted his stomach.

"We're snacking in front of yuk!" encourage Richard to get excited.

"Corn!" darren replied excitedly anyway.

The star's hand still looks confused.

The star followed Darren who was still holding him while looking at Nawang in confusion.

"This is Darren's house, isn't it, Mom?" ask the half-whispering star.

Nawang nodded with a smile.

"No papa, ma'am we stopped by here? Not scolded by Darren's mom?" ask the stars to worry.

"Darren's mother doesn't live here. Darren doesn't live here either. We all just stopped by this house." said Richard who saw Nawang confused to answer the question Star.

Richard did not expect the Stars to ask that question.

p

He felt like he was quietly taking a young wife into his house, wkwkwk.....

"Said Mom, this is Darren's house. Why doesn't your mom live here, sir?" ask the star of astonishment.

"Darren's home is two. If it's the same Mr. Richard, if his mother lives in the other house the same adek Darren and his Daddy Darren." explained Richard.

The star seemed confused by Richard's explanation.

"Udah, don't think. What is important now we snack in angkringannya pakde Prapto.You want to snack angkringan?" bargain Richard.

The star looked towards Nawang for permission, and Nawang nodded.

The stars then.

The important thing is that his mother, wherever it's not about the stars.

Indeed, he was curious about one boy and one woman who were with Richard at this time.

Usually Richard only occasionally appears with Darren alone.

"Laris Mas Prapto?" asked Richard as soon as he entered the angkringan tent followed by two bocils and Nawang.

"Alhamdulillah, Sir. A little bit but run out." answered Prapto with sparkling eyes.

"What do you want maem?" asked Richard while staring at Darren and the star who seemed cool to observe all the menus presented.

Richard caught the Star staring at his mother.

"Udaaah, don't try Mom. Take what the stars want. Can you, Mom?" richard said as he glanced at Nawang.

Nawang laughed embarrassedly.

"Yes. Take it." replied Nawang casually.

The star was immediately busy pointing at what he wanted, then Prapto with the approval of Richard or Nawang would put it in a plastic bag.

The sale and purchase transaction ended with the result of two almost full medium size plastic bags containing several quail egg skewers and Darren and Bintang order ampella satay, three chicken heads grilled Richard's order, and three chicken heads, one thigh bacem choice Bintang, one wing fried choice Nawang, and eight packs of cat rice with side dish sambal fried tempe.

"You want to go in first with the kids or you want to wait for a drink, Non?" bargain Richard on Nawang who is ready to go. with two leaks that already look restless with his hunger.

"We didn't go in, papa, did we? Their kasian looks like they are starving" said Nawang who was greeted by a nod to Richard who was still waiting for their order of iced ginger milk.

Nawang marched with Darren and Bintang into the gate and disappeared from Richard's sight, but the handsome man had not yet taken his eyes from there.

There is a novelty that feels like it wants to spill through his tears right now, but obviously it will not be done because it will certainly make Prapto astonished.

His dream had just passed before him; seeing children and wives entering their dream home quietly.

Yes Tuhaaaan, this is so beautiful.

"It's ready, sir. Anything else needed maybe?" prapto asked as he placed a plastic bag containing four plastic ginger milk ice beside Richard's arm which was slightly jolted from his daydream.

"Udah enough. Thank you" said Richard as he stood up and held out a hundred thousand note.

"Less this?" richard was not sure.

"No, Sir. There are still sixteen thousand. What's it gonna be?" prapto asked because Richard had never wanted to be given change.

"Udah enough. I went in first." said Richard then sauntered into the gate of his house.

Prapto smiled happily.

Finally she could see Richard coming with a woman to this house.

Although he did not know for sure who the woman was, but judging from the way Richard looked very clearly it seemed that the man really liked the woman.

Based on the story of his older sister who worked as ART at Richard's house, and also some of Richard's men who sometimes worked at Richard's house, Richard's, Prapto knew that Richard was a one-child widower.

So it is likely that the only woman he brought this time was his lover or even his future wife.

May you get married soon, sir. You are a good person, may be given the soul mate of someone who is no less good than you, Prapto's inner prayer.

He will never forget Richard's kindness to his life.

Richard who gave him capital opened his angkringan, which happened to always sell from the beginning opened first.

He was only asked to keep Richard's house at night, but then Richard offered him to try to open the angkringan as an additional income for him.

So while diving drink water. Yes take care of the house, yes selling angkringan in front of the house.

Some of his angkringan trade that makes is his older sister, some of the deposit from his left right neighbor.

Actually, Prapto was embarrassed if he had to receive money from Richard every time the man was snacked in his cage.

But Richard was always angry that his money was subtly rejected by him.

"You don't want alms to be with me, Prap. I can still find money." Richard said that to him.

So, yes, Prapto always receives every payment Richard must always be more.

He always gave the change in Richard's name.
