TIME (For A Taste )
CHAPTRE 83

Happy reading....

MALIA

Indeed, I don't want to talk about my past with Irsyad anymore, as I don't want Reiji to remember his past with Shirly.

I want to make my story with Irsyad that doesn't even feel right to be called ‘angagail’ - because there is no story there - other than the closeness that I don't know what the name is - as memories only.

**

“Name?!”

“Malia.”

“Majors?!”

“Economy”

“I tell you yes, do not mind you saucy, continue to arbitrarily come late when MOS!”

“I--“

“After this you ask for the signatures of all students in your generation, then you love me!”

**

The first time I saw and met Irsyad was at MOS or OSEK University.

At that time, Irsyad was my senior who had scolded me, because on the first day of Ospek I arrived late.

But until Ospek finished, I never spoke directly to him again, until I met him again when I entered into one SME on Campus.

That's when I and Irsyad got close. Familiar. But not dating.

But often both ways. It can also be called dating.

Until those who knew me and Irsyad thought we were lovers.

Though not so.

Don't date, so.

How Irsyad feels about me is still a mystery to me.

But from his treatment and attitude towards me, I felt that Irsyad had the same feelings as me.

But until Irsyad went to London, there was never any expression of his feelings for me.

We're just friends.

Close friends.

Maybe like Reiji and Shirly.

If it's from the story of the two of them, I don't know how exactly.

The two photos I found of them illustrate that they both have a taste.

But Reiji says, if they never date.

Just like me and Irsyad. Where for me, my friendship and Irsyad who shared that attention was enough.

The friendship that became camouflage over my pent-up feelings for Irsyad. Which makes me willing to wait until my love for Irsyad returns one day from him.

And until Irsyad goes to London, my heart still stays that way. Until after meeting again before this meeting - when I had lived in London for a year and I would be graduated, even so, my feelings were still the same.

And also, my relationship with Irsyad remains the same.

There is no talk of feeling more than friendship.

No ‘senggolan’ talks from Irsyad about it. And I didn't dare to express my feelings to her either.

After that, I and Irsyad no longer meet, but actively chat in cyberspace. And then again, the active chat of me and Irsyad in the virtual world, reduced its activity.

Until it becomes short, then no more chatter, even just a greeting from Irsyad. Well, maybe Irsyad is too busy working and pursuing his dreams in the land of people.

Kan, the competition there must be hard and tight, so Irsyad can not be too lazy.

At least, that's what I believe, to this day. But I, remain faithful waiting for him.

Well, my wait for Irsyad is finally over, after the matchmaking of Reiji and I.

To be exact, I had to end it to see the happiness on the faces of my parents.

And the thought of Irsyad having someone in London, too, is in my brain.

It could be because of that, Irsyad no longer try to interact with me even if it is just sending an email asking how are you.

It made me laugh at myself in the end. Which in the end made me, accept the match between myself and Reiji. Where the spark of the match, has now materialized and has been running for almost three months.

By the way, how is my husband in Monaco?.

***

Malia's cell phone rang while she and Avi were eating porridge at her place and Reiji sometimes had breakfast outside during the weekend.

Glanced at who contacted him in the morning, which turned out to be a phone call from Reiji.

Malia immediately received a call from Reiji.

The call was not long, only Reiji who reported that he had arrived in Monaco a few hours ago. However, he is determined to contact Malia due to the time difference.

“When my brother came back he said, Yes?’...” asked Avi after Malia finished talking to Reiji on the phone.

“Besok.”

Malia answered briefly, because she wanted to continue to eat the porridge of her order and then spend a portion of the porridge.

Avi also mangosteen and continue to eat the porridge. “Eh Ya’...” call Avi.

“Hm? ...” says Malia.

“Kalo if you meet again with Irsyad how?...”

Avi asked and Malia immediately paused her meal. Then glanced at his best friend and sister-in-law.

“Ya ga how-to ..” Malia replied. Then continue to eat the porridge again.

Avi back mangosteen. “Trus about my brother, how do you feel about him?.. Do you feel the same?.”

Avi asked back.

“You want an answer from me as your best friend, or as your sister-in-law lo?..”

Malia asked back, and Avi chuckled slightly.

“Kalo you want me to answer your question about my feelings to Reiji as a friend lo, I will answer honestly ..” replied Malia. “Kalo as sister-in-law, yes I replied sweetly the same lo...”.

Avi chuckled again.

Malia grunts amusedly. Then sip the warm sweet tea that is in the glass.

“Gue just love Rei, Vi. Well, it's different unfortunately from the old time I was still ade-ade-an brother lo it ..”

Avi also smiled broadly after hearing Malia's words just now.

“Yes, there is the most progress towards your relationship Bang Rei ..”

“Yes, I don't feel guilty - guilty very much the same Rei, Vi ..” Malia said.

“Ye why elo feel guilty try?. elo same marriage Bang Rei because of being fooled. Yes it is not wrong you also if elo belom have any feelings for him ..”

“........”

“Gue also will not judge you if you say your heart has not mastered anything with Bang Rei.”

“Thanks Yes Vi..” Malia smiled shadyly at Avi. Feeling lucky to have a mature and logical Avi was his thinking.

“Sama-sama bestih!”

Avi cheerfully replied.

Then Malia and Avi chuckled together, and continued to eat them again.

Sometimes Malia feels jealous of Avi.

Not a feeling of envy.

Malia is just jealous of Avi's laid-back nature, in contrast to her.

Avi also had a story about unrequited love, like Malia.

But that relaxed Avi, quick move-on. Unlike her who still feels ‘hooked’ with the past that Malia has had on someone Malia had long hoped for.

Maybe even until this moment.

It is forbidden for a woman who has the status of a wife, if there are thoughts about other men besides her husband.

“Ya’...” Avi called Malia again, when the porridge was toilet, following the warm sweet tea.

Malia is talking to deheman. "Hm?"

“Kalo tau-tau the Irsyad ngajak lo meet again, how?....”

Malia who had wanted to move to pay for her porridge and Avi, then stopped to rise from her seat.

Malia smiled faintly. “Yes how-to,” Malia replied.

Malia gave the porridge seller fifty thousand, who happened to pass the table where he was sitting, after delivering the order to the other table.

“After all, it looks like there will also be another meeting between me and him, Vi.” Malia.

***

The next day....

One day of work has Malia gone through today.

Malia was about to rush home with some of her division friends.

Just go to the elevator and the lobby, because after that they will go home with the vehicle they use each.

Malia, who was waiting for the elevator to get to the floor where she worked, glanced at her phone.

‘Rei until Jakarta around eleven o'clock. It could be until the apartment around two o'clock,’ Inner Malia. ‘What to cook do I?..’

Malia was weighing in her heart.

‘Ga time ah!’

Malia answered the question in her heart.

‘Eh but later the information Rei ga eat first when finished the plane markirin? ..’

Malia is still.

‘Mending I asked her Rei directly!’

***

Malia texted Reiji when I was coming home from work. Ask her husband if Reiji wants Malia to cook or how.

But Malia's chat message still ticks one until she arrives at her apartment and Reiji.

‘Oh yes, the Rei will never activate his phone if again the task! ... So how is yah? ... I need to cook, huh?’

Malia sat down and opened the fridge and took a bottle of cold water from there, and sipped the water in a plastic bottle with the brand of a million people, which was indeed Malia's personal drinking bottle.

Until Malia can immediately gulp the contents in the bottle to wet her throat that Malia feels a little dry. Afterwards, Malia looked through the contents of the refrigerator with her eyes, while weighing whether she should cook or not.

‘Delivery order aja ah ... The important thing is there is ready-to-eat food fitting Reiji back ..’

Malia immediately grabbed her phone, to order food at one of the restaurants in an online meal messaging app.

Then Malia rushed to clean up quickly, after she finished ordering some food in the restaurant of her choice in the online meal messaging application.

Time passed, until nightfall.

Malia's mouth had evaporated, and she decided to immediately go into her room and Reiji, because her eyes were no longer strong enough to open, to wait for Reiji to arrive at the apartment.

Malia immediately laid her body on her bed and Reiji, and without waiting for long, Malia had already fallen asleep to dreamland.

***

Malia awoke from her sleep when the alarm on her phone went off.

‘Still neat bed Rei.’ Inner Malia while glancing at the side of the bed where Reiji used to sleep.

Reiji's bed is still empty, it still looks neat. Malia then frowned small.

‘Rei should have come home from three hours ago right?. As a matter of fact, from two hours ago he should have been here?...’

Enjoy, and don't forget to be happy.

Loph-Loph, uh,

Queen's Mother.
