Rifal paused for a moment, digesting what he had just heard from the mouth, Valen. Did he not hear wrong?
Valen continued his footsteps up the stairs, he was biting his lips, he did not know why he was saying such impudent words. Though he was self-conscious, if he just hitchhiked here.
Valen looked towards the bring, apparently Rifal was still faithfully staring at him from downstairs.
"Start tomorrow...." From upstairs, Valen spoke his words. He hung his words to Rifal. "Lo can't work, you have to stay at home" he continued into the room.
From downstairs, Rifal shook his head trying to refresh his brain this afternoon.
He had just listened, if Valen forbade him to work tomorrow as his punishment. But, will Rifal obey Valen's words?
Rifal walked towards the kitchen, to fill his perch with drinking water. He saw Lea making coconut ice and saw the girl taking ice cubes out of the fridge and brown sugar.
"Valen why?" rifal asked while taking water in the refrigerator.
Lea who was stirring her dark ice, so that her brown sugar evenly stared at Rifal for a moment who was sipping water.
"Lea doesn't know either, om" said the girl and returned to stirring her dark ice that was soon ready.
"But lately, Valen's doctors have been telling Lea to buy snacks on the side of the road" he said, making Rifal stop sipping his mineral water.
Lea walked to the fridge where the fruit was, she put her sheep ice in the refrigerator that was ready to be eaten.
"Review well om! If Rifal eats Dr. Valen's coconut ice again," threatened Lea by narrowing her eyes at Rifal who just put her shoulder.
Leah walked out of the kitchen followed by Rifal. Lea stopped walking so that Rifal also stopped making Lea look back.
"Why did Rifal follow Leah? Does Rifal want to give appreciation to Lea who can get the desire of Om Rifal's wife?" songg the girl while having her chest crossed makes Rifal roll his eyes lazy to the girl in front of him.
"If you want to appreciate the results of Lea's hard work, it is better if Rifal kasi Lea duit snack," he continued while sticking his hand out like he was asking, rather it is so.
"You want some snacks?" the Rifal fishing rod and retorted a quick nod by Lea.
Little boy, usually I am.
"Hmm," Rifal cleared his throat, making Leah wait for the continuation of Rifal's words.
"If Lea wanted to, om could keep Lea's new motor," Rifal bargained to make Lea's eyeballs round great.
For a long time he wanted a new bike, until now has not been achieved. Tell me if Rifal's words were able to make Lea tempted.
"You!" reply Lea girl enthusiastically make Rifal smile amusedly look at the behavior of this neighbor.
"If so, you have to find out why Valen," said Rifal casually.
Rifal didn't know why he wanted to find out about this. His heart told him to find out, but his brain refused.
"How's it going?" lea's question made Rifal glance at the 19-year-old girl in front of him.
"That's your business. 'You want a new bike." After saying that word, Rifal left Lea.
While Lea stomped her feet, how did she find out about Valen? While he was in college too?
If you want a new bike, Lea must think like an entrepreneur who is at the lowest point.
"You can do it, Lea!" Lea encouraged herself to leave Valen's house.
***
At seven o'clock in the night, Valen went down the stairs to go to the kitchen. He opened the fruit fridge and looked for something.
He opened the Tupperware, and saw the coconut ice he had imagined.
Valen took a spoon and tasted coconut ice made by Lea, his neighbor.
"Enak too," his menologue still eats his sheep ice.
While Rifal was holding his chest to watch the figure of Valen who was enjoying the ice of his sheep. Rifal had thought, since when did Valen like coconut ice? Since they were together, Rifal had never seen Valen eat coconut ice. And, now the girl was enjoying coconut ice.
Rifal was still faithfully eating Valen was eating his coconut ice, until the sound of his cellphone ringing made his view he diverted.
Fortunately, the ringtone of the phone is not too loud, so Valen did not know if from now on Rifal was paying attention to him.
Rifal saw the name on his phone screen, written the name of the doctor he was assigned to look after Adelia.
"Hello." Rifal opened the conversation greeting the doctor who called him.
Rifal grinned carefully the doctor spoke across the phone.
"All right, I'll be there." After that, Rifal turned off his phone. He turned his back and still saw Valen eating his sheep ice.
Between wanting to go and not, seeing Valen eat like this made Rifal reluctant to leave. Valen's cheerful face eating coconut ice makes Rifal reluctant to turn his eyesight away from the object.
Rifal glanced at the clock on his wrist, he had to leave because there were more need of him.
He took his car keys and walked away. He didn't say goodbye to Valen if he wanted to get out.
His heart tells him to stay with Valen, but his ego blocks it all.
Valen walked out of the kitchen when he heard the sound of a car engine leaving the yard. He opened the main door he saw Rifal's car had sauntered away.
Where's the rifal going? Was Rifal not saying goodbye to him?
Am I worthless, so you don't share me, Fal.
Valen closed the door, he lived alone again in such a big house. Since Adelia realized, Rifal very rarely lived in his house again more precisely never.
Without feeling her tears falling on her cheeks, since she was pregnant she was always whiny with things that concerned Rifal.
He wiped his tears with his thumb.
"Don't crybaby, Valen. You don't need Rifal," he tells himself but his tears are getting louder.
"Gue lied, in fact I need Rifal" he continued with increasingly heavy tears.
"Gue sure, it's not me that Rifal wants right now. But, the child in my womb," he told himself if what he said was true.
"Why not crav Nathan, why should Rifal!" ocehnya unconsciously while walking quietly.
Just now that he was enjoying the coconut ice, he was now feeling hungry again. Who would he ask to buy him food? What Lea? But, Valen believes this clock girl is studying.
"Where hungry again!" valen complained while climbing the stairs. He glanced at the clock on his wrist still at 7 o'clock passing. He could starve to death if he went straight to sleep.
While Art was away at home, he was lazy to cook.
There was one name in Valen's mind. That's Nathan.
Valen believes Nathan is in the hospital, but it doesn't matter if Nathan wants to bring him some food tonight.
