Trapped in Love Little Girl
Ch. 48: Back

“You're uncomfortable, Sa?”

Sally only glanced at the man beside her right. He didn't answer. I don't know why that is. The girl woke up from sleep already mute as if her two tiny lips were exposed to sticky glue and difficult to open. Just the word ‘hmm’ and the head movement shook and nodded given as Zean asked.

“You're mad at me, Sa?” Again. Zean would not give up. He continued to ask even though he had no answer to the first question.

“Sorry, if I hurt you.” Speech is still continued from Zean to make people on the left who hear it so uncomfortable.

“What, anyway, Brother? My body hurts all, I'm males by the way. Don't think weird,” said Sally in a tinge.

However, Sally's misfortune could only be a wide grin response from Zean.

“Sleep again then. When I get home, I'll wake you up. If you don't wake up, yes ... I'm a jerky." Zean replied with a big smile.

Like just winning the lottery, that's how Zean has been since he woke up this afternoon. He would smile brightly like the morning sun every time he saw Sally's whereabouts. Ah, it seems like he wants to keep doing that game so that his mood is always good.

Different from Zean who was getting excited, while Sally was lazy to respond. Rather than hearing Zean's constant chattering, Sally ended up choosing sleep.

The streets are a little congested though not to severe traffic jams like weekends. Occasional street busking noises were heard as they stopped at red lights several times. Peddlers, newspaper sellers, even requests are still visible among the traffic.

Unable to sleep, Sally opened her eyes again and circulated her gaze. His heart was filled as his brown eyes saw two young children the age of a fourth grade Elementary child sitting on the sidewalk of the road. In front of him was a small box, as well as a cardboard cutout that read ‘sol hoes’. Sally's fingers reflexively touched the car's door window. He wanted to be among those kids.

“Small girl, what's up?” Zean asked when he realized something was catching his wife's attention. However, there was no answer as Sally ignored.

Zean pulled the car over, then pulled himself into his wife's position. “What's up?” ask again.

Sally twisted her body and reflexively her face collided with Zean. He was stunned, but Zean smiled instead.

“What's up?” ask Zean again without wanting to rewind his face.

The smell of mint wafted from the black-eyed man's breath made Sally shake her head and rewind her face.

“Why?” A strange question from Zean, made Sally push her own husband.

“Public place, Brother. Don't get near.”

Zean laughed at his wife who was still often nervous if approached. It's funny, it makes him fat and just wants to eat it.

“What is it that you ignore me?”

Sally confirmed her sitting position, then replied, “Nothing, Sister. Just saw two small children busy looking for customers for soles services shoes.”

Zean got a beard, then went back to running the car. He deliberately did not drive too fast because the streets began to be crowded to coincide with the hours of return of the workers.

“Little girl, you know? Papa used to experience like them too.” Zean said without looking at Sally.

The girl tried to digest, but did not understand either. “I mean Brother Ze, Papa Bobi ... ever been a shoemaker?”

The plain face Sally showed made Zean just shake his head lightly and smile. After all, his wife was still young. His nature is still plain, though stubborn.

“Akhp!” Sally nodded and shut her mouth almost in disbelief.

“Didn't you know that Papa wasn't your grandmother's biological child?”

“Um,” replied Sally while nodding. “Grandma said, that Papa Bobi was adopted from one of the orphanages. That's all I know. I also do not really understand because Papa I considered my own uncle even though he returned to the Pratama residence.”

Sally nodded and continued to hear what Zean was saying.

“Initially, Papa didn't want to come back because he hated Opa and Oma. But before the seconds Opa left, finally came back because Grandma and Papi Tomi were forcing. I won't tell you too much because I don't fully know. After all, Papa doesn't really like to talk about the past. My mom and I would never ask if she didn't tell me. But, Sa, over time you will know what the Primary family is like after living there.”

Sally was a little surprised to hear the story of her in-laws' life. A Pratama Group owner, it turned out to have been a wasted child. Now he knows why Mr. Bobi is sometimes very irritable if Zean does something wrong.

“Did Brother want to marry me too because of Papa's request?”

Zean turned his head, then ruffled his wife's hair. “Without answering, you should know.” Zean's answer ended with a smile.

Sally throttled in dissatisfaction with Zean's answer.

However, Zean did not respond more and refocused on the streets of the city that had begun to darken.

“You stopped by to eat? You just had lunch, right?” Zean switched the conversation.

Sally turned the eyeball for a moment, then replied, “No need, sister. Just back to home. Eat at home only, Mami and Papi must have been waiting.”

Zean nodded. He obeyed his wife's will. It didn't take long, Sally's black car finally entered the courtyard.

Im immediately ran to the person who was still in the car. He also wanted to know the condition of his employer's son who had disappeared a few days ago.

“Nona ...” Mr Im exclaims. “Non Sally okay?” Just as Sally had just set one foot on the ground, Mr Im had already asked a question. It made Sally pause for a moment, then looked up at Mr. Im and nodded.

"Where, Non Sally? Madam and Tuan are busy looking for Miss.” The question still continued to the point that Zean had to cleared his throat to stop Mr. Im.

The man who had spent decades scavenging for sustenance in the Birawan residence was silent and gulped with difficulty when he saw Zean in front of the car waiting for Sally. He didn't ask and shifting the body gave way to Sally.

Sally closed the car, then tidied up the turtle-collared sweater that is now in use. As a result of Zean's actions, he had to wear clothes that almost covered the entire upper body. Jeans decorate the legs tiered with flat shoes beige color in line with the tops worn.

“I'm in first yes, sir. Thanks for worrying about me.” The girl nodded, then immediately approached her husband who had started growling from earlier.

“Sa, you're home, son?” Anna hugged Sally. In fact, her crying was already unstoppable again finding her daughter back. He was long unwilling to let go of the hug until Sally complained of tightness.

“You okay? Does anyone hurt?” Ms. Anna was busy looking for wounds or anything from her daughter's body until she realized something.

“Why are your clothes like this? You sick, Honey?” The back of the hand is busy sticking to every face of the child, Ms. Anna checks the body temperature with concern.

Mi, if I could complain. I wanted to say that my body hurts.

I would love Sally to answer that, but I can't. She will definitely be rubbed off on her sister. Right now, all he could do was shake his head slowly while trying to smile clumsily.

“Already, Mi. Invite them to eat, Bi Mur seems to have also finished preparing dinner.” Mr. Tomi finally spoke when he saw the uncomfortable expression of his son.

Sally nodded again, then followed her mother and father to the dining table. Occasionally he looked at the man behind who was walking leisurely without sin.

Sally's eyes looked as if she was cursing at Zean. Because of the actions that the man did, making himself so awkward in the middle of his own family.
