THE WIDOW BED NEXT TO MY HOUSE
S2. 12. Smile

Ezra's glance was discovered by Vika. It made Vika smile while shaking her head.

Ezra hurriedly took a sitting position upright, not forgetting to sip Vika's warm tea.

"What about your job?" ask Vika.

"That's it" said Ezra briefly.

"That's how?" ask Vika curiously.

"Well," said Ezra briefly.

"Thank God," relieved Vika.

Ezra was silent again, staring at the sparkle of stars in the sky.

"Ezra, do you already have a lover?" asked Vika hesitating.

"No. Even until now I had not thought of dating a woman" Ezra said.

"Why?" ask Vika curiously.

"Woman is a bitch. Like you!"

Vika fell silent, not wanting to show her sorrow at Ezra's words, her lips began to open letting out a laugh.

"Squeaky. Why laugh?"

"You're funny," chuckled Vika.

Without Ezra noticing, as he watched Vika continue to laugh, the corner of his lips outlined a smile.

'Vika turned out to be beautiful as well when she laughed, ' Ezra's mind lowered, her cheeks slightly felt because her chest felt a great thump.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Brady and Clay were watching tv, accompanied by a few packs of nuts, snacks and cold juice drinks.

"It looks like I'll be home soon" Brady told reporters, with a view to the television broadcast.

Clay took out his hand from inside a packet of fried potato snacks.

"Why go home? It's not like the sister's boutique hasn't brought out any new stuff yet" asked Clay pretending not to know.

"Pity Mami and Papa alone at home" Brady said. Brady originally wanted to go home because he wanted to slightly eliminate his disappointment over Vika's rejection of him. So that Brady can return to see Vika as a brother without leaving hope in his heart.

"Sister lied. I've heard it all the time at the beach. Brother expresses sister's feelings, and Vika rejects him on the grounds that big sister's age doesn't match her!" clay's chirping surprised Brady.

Ezra had just come into silence, his two eyeballs perfectly rounded hearing Clay's words.

'The good and quiet Brady was rejected on the grounds of age. Moreover, I, ' Inner Ezra, both of his legs are gawking about to leave the tv room. However, Vika apparently stood behind him with each hand carrying a bottle of food and drink.

"Where are you going?" ask Vika to Ezra.

"Want to watch" said Ezra nervously.

Hearing Vika and Ezra's voice, Brady and Clay spontaneously turned their heads back.

"Did they hear it, brother?" clay asked in a whisper.

"Is, I'm dead. I don't know if this mouth likes release if you sit together with your brother," muttered Clay blushing himself.

"Eh, you two are here. I'll watch can I?!" ask Vika so that the situation is not stiff.

"Oh, bo-can," said Brady directing his hand to the single sofa on his left side.

Vika steps up, instead of sitting on the single sofa directed by Brady for her, Vika instead chooses to sit next to Clay.

Curious about the continuation of Clay and Brady's story earlier. Ezra joins the cast, trying to see for himself whether Brady is really rejected by Vika or just their fictional story.

"Old granny does not deserve to sit among men," Ezra scolded, his hand clasped Vika's wrist.

Degseer!

Getting his hand held by Ezra, Vika's blood flow and eyes spontaneously lead to Ezra's.

'Oh my goodness, my goodness! Am I not dreaming? My hand is currently being held by my cold and indifferent prince. It felt like I wanted to soar high into the dark sky, Vika's inner self, her lips smiling, and it was seen by Brady.

Brady continued to look at Vika's timid face, then Ezra's serious face continued to look at Vika.

'Don't you think the man that Vika liked was Abang Ezra. Brother Ezra too, why did he continue to look at the face of Brother Vika with such a gaze. Ooh! It turns out.' Brady's inner being disconnected because Ezra pulled Vika and placed her onto a single sofa.

Vika is not angry, she just gives a smile to Ezra. He leisurely sat there, his hand taking a few snacks, then eating them voraciously. Brady, he still continued to stare and seemed confused to see the hidden attitude in store by Vika.

"Did you like Vika's sister?" ask Brady to the point.

Ezra, Clay and Vika are silent. Clay was definitely like a dazed person, perplexed at their attitude. Ezra was like a dead flea, a feeling that only he should have known, now felt by Brady. As a grown man, Ezra just expressed his feelings to Vika.

"Right, I like Vika," said Ezra to Clay, Brady and Vika.

'Wh-what's this? Does Ezra really like me? A-is this love really reciprocating?' inner Vika wondered.

The mood for a moment was silent. There was a feeling of disappointment and heartache felt by Brady. However, he must bury it deeply in the bottom of his heart and must give up his feelings for Vika, if Vika also likes Ezra.

"Well! Then soon we'll have a sister-in-law" Brady said, covering up the disappointment.

"Brady," call Vika.

"Yes, what's wrong?" vika asked directly.

Not wanting to rule out the possibility and deny his feelings for Ezra. He also tried to be honest with Brady, although honesty would definitely not be liked.

"Actually, I also like Ezra. Do you not mind?" asked Vika hesitating.

"Oooh, te-of course I don't mind. What matters is that you are happy" said Brady.

Clay innocently seems to cover up his involvement which had seen Brady express his feelings to Vika. Try to shift the mood by embracing Brady.

"Wiiis, cool! We have to report Mama and Papa. So that we can propose to Vika's sister" Clay said.

Brady just nodded along with a sincere smile.

***

After expressing his feelings to Vika. Clay, Brady, and Ezra return home to take Vika with them. Arriving at home, Ezra told Fransiska everything about his true feelings. And Vika too.

Francis cursed him, only he felt a little pity to see his other son. Fransiska tried to talk to Brady, how about their relationship. Brady can only say if he has mengikhlaskan Vika along with Ezra.
