Happy reading....

‘Kak Irsyad?.’

Reiji frowned when he saw the name of the caller who kept calling Malia's cell phone.

‘Who is he? .. Brother Lia? .. Ah like it wasn't. I don't think there's anyone from the Lia family whose name is Irsyad seinget me. Alien is also this name.’

Reiji was monologuing in his heart, still clutching Malia's phone.

‘Gue lift yes? ..’ Inner Reiji while weighing. ‘Who knows Lia's office person? ..’

Reiji twisted his lips while looking at Malia's mobile phone. Then he sighed slowly.

‘Inget appointment lo yourself, Rei!’ reiji's heart said.

And the next second Reiji put Malia's phone back into place, which happened to also stop vibrating it.

Reiji was about to step foot, but Lia's phone screen lit up.

And a chat message went into Reiji's wife's phone.

Reiji doesn't want the actual kepo. But his eyes seemed to be set automatically to glance at the chat message that appeared on the floating screen of Malia's phone.

‘Busy huh Li?’

Reiji pulled his lips straight after seeing the contents of a short chat so that Reiji could read even though he did not touch Malia's phone.

Just a regular chat. So Reiji melengos.

Want to get out of place, but the light of Malia's phone following the emergence of one more chat message, makes Reiji back to the kepo to glance at his wife's phone.

‘There is no time today?’

Reiji's eyebrows shot up while reading the second chat message from the contact number labeled Irsyad's sister.

Makes Reiji feel ambiguous. ‘Positive thinking Rei... Maybe it's Lia's office that you don't know, and they have business.’

However, the inner Reiji did not want to just guess.

So Reiji then moved away from Malia's phone which was no longer shaking, and no more chat came in, after Reiji stood for a moment near Malia's nightstand.

And Reiji stepped out of his room, then sat on the sofa of his apartment living room and Lia, then opened his jogging shoes. Reiji tried to think positively about someone who had contacted Malia and chatted with her.

Yang Reiji sure is a man.

However, even though Reiji did not want to think things through, Reiji's desire to jog this morning was lost.

MALIA

I gasped in shock when I found Reiji in the lounge of our apartment. Wouldn't he be jogging after putting our dirty clothes in Laundry?. But why is the guy back in the apartment, huh?... It's only twenty minutes Reiji left if I'm not mistaken, when I glanced at the wall clock and remembered at what number the clock was on when I entered the bathroom earlier.

I blinked my eyes at the apartment lounge where Reiji was holding his cell phone. “Rei?..” call me.

“Ya?”

Reiji immediately replied as he turned his head as I called and approached him.

“You've been back jogging?..”

But Reiji did not answer me directly.

She's like daydreaming?

And look to...

Ah my goodness!

I just realized that I'm only wearing a towel right now, and the upper hitch doesn't cover the entirety of my two twin hills.

I cleared my throat, only Reiji gasped then immediately looked at me with an awkward smile.

I also acted somewhat indifferently, when in fact I was a little worried. Because usually Reiji could not see me wearing a towel in front of him, then he would immediately hit me.

“You took a shower early in the morning... Want to go?..”

But not at the moment. Reiji seems ordinary.

No gigat if he wants to ask ‘jatah’.

Is it because we're in a slightly awkward relationship right now, due to a fight back then?.

“Engga anyway.” I'll take my response to Reiji's question. “Bath pen aja.”

“Oh..”

Reiji answered flatly.

“Ya already, wear clothes first there.”.

And told me to get dressed, while throwing her face away from me.

“Iya.”

I immediately left in front of Reiji.

And put my feet up to the room to get dressed.

I glanced at Reiji as I was about to enter our room.

A little bit of a fret for fear of suddenly Reiji ‘kicked me’ from behind.

But in reality, Reiji was unmoved in his place. Still sitting on the sofa and looking back continue playing games on his phone.

--

I still wonder for myself why Reiji has so quickly returned from jogging.

But I doubt he went jogging.

Reiji's face is fresh if I don't see it wrong.

But if Reiji knows how to stop jogging why?.

Was Reiji on a sudden flying assignment like that?.

But Reiji looks like a henchman playing that game.

If there is a flying task, should he have rushed to bathe and neatly?...

But this was just relaxing, I saw that was Reiji.

Ah already.

Maybe Reiji suddenly broke down.

I better get dressed.

‘Kak Irsyad called earlier?..’

Malia sat down while she was dressed and was holding her phone.

When he saw two missed calls coming into his phone.

“Reiji saw ga ya this miss-called?..” muttered Malia while turning to the door of the closed room. “It looks like hing deh..” murmured again. “Ga changed position also this is my phone.”

Malia refocused her eyes on her phone.

‘Gue what to answer to Kak Irsyad?..’ Inner Malia, after reading two chat messages that entered also to her phone.

Drrtt...

Malia's phone shook in her hand, shortly after she read two incoming messages from Irsyad.

‘Duh, call again the person!..’

Malia did not directly point her thumb at the green button.

‘Kalo Kak Irsyad nanyain again about what can be found today how?’

Malia still hasn't shifted the green button to receive calls on her phone.

‘Ga may also I let you meet with Brother Irsyad if Reiji again there is this.’

Malia is still.

‘Kak Irsyad will surely understand if I refuse his invitation today..’.

Malia also shifted the green button on the phone call that was coming into her phone

“Halo Brother --”

“Yang - - -”

**

While Malia swiped the green button to receive a call on her phone, Reiji entered their room while calling Malia. That surprised Malia.

“Yes, Rei? ..”

“Oh you again phone?”

“Udahan kok .”

Malia said she kept the phone stuck to her ear, and quickly pressed the red button in the ongoing call on her phone.

And Malia immediately slipped her phone in the back pocket of the hotpant she was wearing.

“Whose phone is the same?..”

Reiji asked casually.

“Temen..”.

Malia answered briefly.

“Oh..”

**

“By the way you look like a really cool jog behind Rei?”

“Ga so jogging –“

“Kok?...”

“So back to fetch the plan wallet. Uh until here even so males want to come out again.”

“Oh Malia.

“Yang....” says Reiji.

“Ya?...” says Malia.

Reiji sat on the side of one of his beds and Malia.

Then patted the space next to her, for Malia to sit next to her.

“There's something you want to tell me? ..” asked Reiji.

“About? ..”

Malia asked back.

“Ya about anything ..” Reiji replied. “You have any chatter about me maybe?”

“Ga no ..” Malia.

“Truly no?”

Reiji asked again.

“For now no ..”

Reiji pulled the corner of his lips.

“Ya already so.” Reiji said later. “Today you have no events right?”

“Euumm ..”

“I want to invite you –“

“Where?” cut Malia.

“Gather with children ..”

“I mean kids ...your gang is?”

“Iy—“

“I don't want ..”

Malia cuts Reiji's speech.

“Loh why? ..”

“Ya don't want it ..”

“Please don't tell me because there's Irly.”

Reiji quickly responded to Malia's refusal.

“Iya—“

“Trus why would it be Irly and you wouldn't come?.” cut Reiji when Malia agrees. “Not that you were fine-fine about my past and Irly?.” continued Reiji.

“Ya even though it's fine too, I don't have to be close to collecting with him too.”

Malia nodded with a little sniffle. And Reiji chuckled tastelessly.

“Any You The.”

“Whimsy how?”

“Ya weird .. You said you wanted to believe me. That you believe that about how I feel about Irly is the past. I've been spared even. And now you don't want to come with me to gather with the kids, because there he is. It's weird, right?”

Reiji snorted cynically.

“You are very unstable Yang.”

Malia looked sharply at Reiji.

“You said I was labile?---“

“Ya exhausted your attitude like gini—“

“Before I believe or do not share your words about your feelings that have been lost to your girl friend, right I dong, want or do not meet him.”

“.....”

“Lagian earlier I said, ‘coba’ yes!....”

Malia got up from her seat.

“Not yet I will if I fully believe in your recognition!”

Then speak a little sharply to Reiji.

“Ya keep I have to how again let you trust Yaang...”.

“Ya give me time...”

“Yes that's it, I invite you to join my friends so you can see for yourself how I interact with Irly. Let you know more with my other friends, including Irly—“

“Kalo I don't want?”

Malia quickly cut Reiji's speech.

“What do you want?” cecar Malia's.

“I'm just trying to get rid of your suspicions to me Yang. That's aja.”

“Yes that's why give me time. Don't even make me make a meeting with that Irly.”

“I don't make it, I'm just making it. And as long as you know yes, couples from my other friends are fine-fine with the existence of Irly as a friend of their partner—“

“But I'm not them!” sergeant Malia.

Reiji sighed.

“I don't want to go with your friends. Point!”

Malia moved her foot away from Reiji. “Yang.. we have not finished talking this loh.” said Reiji.

Malia is indifferent.

“Yang.”

Call Reiji and arrest Malia.

“Ga need to use angry why the hell?”

“I ain't mad ya? –“

“This is proof that you left me in the room before we met the bright spot?”

Malia seemed to be breathing.

“I haven't been able to meet your girl friend Rei. Sorry.”

“I really want you to come, Yang. Come on, get to know my friends, if you want to try, try to know them. Including Irly.”

“Ga now lah Rei ..”

Malia softens, no longer cynical and sniffy.

“You if you want to gather with your friends please aja.”

“Yes I want to come with you, Yang. Ja—“

“I also actually have an appointment today.”
