TIME (For A Taste )
CHAPTER 21

Happy reading..

“Ga want to drink first, Rei?.”

Malia asks Reiji and offers a drink to the man who is her future husband in three

that next month, after they had reached Jakarta, Reiji had brought him safely home without any shortage.

It's nothing, Malia just can't bear to see Reiji's tired-looking face, due to the trip home from

Bandung to Jakarta is quite time-consuming because of the fairly dense congestion in that direction.

Not to mention the Jakarta streets are quite jammed on Sunday night.

Reiji and Malia are late and Malia's parents rest when Reiji delivers Malia

go home to her parents' house.

“Thanks Lia, but I'm going straight back. Greetings to your Mom and Dad? ..”

“Iya later I'll greet him”

Malia smiled at him later.

“Yes I've been back..”.

“Iya.”

“Yuk Lia ..”

“Thanks for today ya Rei”

Malia spoke sincerely to Reiji.

Reiji nodded and commented on the smile that adorned his tired looking face.

“Sama-sama Lia”

Reiji spoke softly to Malia.

“Yuk I'm back, Lia?”

“Iya, carefully...”.

Malia also softly replied to Reiji by commenting on the smile.

“Met break huh? Sweet dream.. I dream of being able to sih”

Reiji had a small joke, and Malia snorted amusedly.

Then Reiji completely withdrew from before Malia.

MALIA

I had already entered my room, shortly after Reiji said goodbye and left my house. My parents' house

that is to say. My savings are not enough to buy my own house. Hehe. Understand the ordinary office employees, whose salary is not until the number ten million.

And again, I only worked for three years, and it was just appointed as a permanent employee of approximately one

half a year ago. So a hefty salary for me I just received in the last year and a half. And all that time, I can't say really saving.

Although my salary is mostly intact I have every month, because my parents do not want to accept my salary

that's.

Well, when compared to their income as furniture entrepreneurs who although not entrepreneurs in the Crazy Rich category, my salary is nothing.

At most sometimes I buy mama skin care that makes the face of mama tetep glowing despite her middle age. Or buy papa something, even though I don't do it every month.

The rest, yes I use to meet my own needs. Even though every month, papa is also still

sending some money which is a monthly allowance from parents even though I have asked papa to stop it since I was appointed as a permanent employee at the Company where I work now.

Papa flatly refused my request, arguing that it was my right as their child and additional remarks, “All that Papa and Mama have is for you Lia.. Later if Papa same Mama no age..”.

And I stopped papa's words when he said that extra sentence. A sentence I really don't want to hear.

The thing I can't imagine if I have to lose my mom and dad, even though I know destiny

the man must have returned to his Creator.

But I always hope, pray of course, if both my parents are always given health and age

long to be by my side, though three more months I'm getting married and maybe getting out of this house to come live where Reiji will take me.

Uh yes, just because there is no talk of staying where I and Reiji will be after we get married. Hm ...

Ah, it's the first new day of Reiji dating since our matchup. Boro-boro talk about where we live in the future, Reiji and I still have to match each other until the time when the contract will be.

MALIA

I've cleaned myself up here already using my favorite ndeso wong t-shirt, which is already not because

its shape.

It's stretchy and memble ga because it's my favorite shirt. But I don't want to throw it away.

Because the t-shirt that I and Avi refer to as the ndeso wong t-shirt where Avi also has it, very cool

dipake.

Rather than using a negligee or pajamas, well I prefer to wear this ndeso wong shirt that I pair with comfortable material shorts.

Avi is more or less the same. There are many things Avi and I have in common. Right now the difference is just one, which is me

will be married in a time that can be said in a moment, while Avi engga. I have a boyfriend and that's a child.

Speaking of girlfriends, by the way,

“Ya already for two, Rei”

I remember a time in NB when Reiji and I stopped by the cafe.

When Reiji offers the carrot cake in the cafe with confidence Reiji said that it was delicious

it felt.

It was only when the cake came, and I offered Reiji, that was the answer I remembered.

Then when I asked if I didn't like why I said it was good, there was a name tucked into Reiji's speech.

Shirley.

And I heard that name again from the mouth of his friend Reiji, whose name was Abbas.

Abbas Ramdan, the domestic actor I admire.

So now I wonder who Shirly is. What is Reiji's best ex?.

**

Tiiiit...

The alarm from the digital clock above Malia's nightstand rang aloud. Makes Malia sleep disturbed.

Malia's hands fumbled at her nightstand to reach the digital clock whose alarm went off.

“Ish, this is alaaaaarrrmm!” Malia grumbling. ‘For thinking who Shirly is, I forgot the time setting ah ah!’

Malia rose up heavily in the end, as the digital clock was unattainable as she fingered the nightstand earlier.

“Ish!”

Malia snorted angrily while leaning on the bed dashboard.

‘I should wake up on Sunday?!. ..’ Inner Malia who grumbled. ‘Kalo wake up for dawn

the hell yes no problem..’

Malia was still grumbling in her heart.

‘But this is me again dapet’

Malia snorted again, then let out a short sigh but Malia's breath was a little heavy.

“Ga will be able to continue this sleep I” Mumbled Malia. Because Malia will indeed be difficult to continue her sleep again, if it has been awakened.

**

“Eh, just now Mama want to wake up....” Malia's mother was right in front of Malia's door, when Malia opened the door.

“Mama ingetnya this Monday huh?.....” Tukas Malian.

Malia's mother shook her head for sure. “Engga tuh!” Her speech. “Mama know it's sunday”

“Keeps why would you wake up Lia early in the morning?...”

“Lah emang Reiji did not say that today he and his family will come here later at watch time?....” Cetus Malia's mother.

“Hah?!. Who is Ma?!”

“Ih why do boong try?!. ....”

“Emang want to do?....”

“Well, really did Reiji the guy not talk to you yesterday about today?....”

“Engga” Sahut Malia quickly.

“Yes, forgot the time the Reiji was so fond of being able to update with you huh Lia?....”

“Apaan anyway Ma?”

Malia thaws small.

“Terus how does that mean the Reiji family wants to come here early in the morning??”

“Mau impersonate you officially!”

“HAH?!”

**

“Iya, hello Lia?....” There was a call when Malia frantically contacted Reiji on her phone.

“Rei!”

“Wa’alaikumsalam ..”

Malia chuckled slightly when she heard Reiji saying that it was as if he was mocking her because he immediately exclaimed

calling Reiji's name, without greeting him first.

“Iya, Assalamu’alaikum!” Cetus Malian.

“That's dong” Chirps Reiji.

“It's dong, it's dong!”

Malia spoke a little sniffly.

“Rei!”

“Hm?”

“Kok lo ga said you want to come here family?! Nine in the morning again!”

“Hehehe, forgot ...”

“Ish Reijiiii!!”
