[Note] A Perfect Marriage

Old Friend

Barrel brushed Zain's hand off his face. Turn your face and step back.

"So, where did you hide Reno's son?" zain asked as he loosened his tie and threw his suit onto the sofa.

"I'm not hiding it. He chose to leave. I'm just helping him get out of here."

"Have you made sure they were safe? I don't want Grandpa to curse me in heaven."

Laras smiled in anguish at her husband's statement. "It turns out there's still something you're afraid of, yeah."

Barrel stepped forward. Touching her husband's field chest and starting to help remove the clothes attached to his body. Zain's outstretched hand touched his shoulder-length hair. The man's big hand was playing around at the end of the Barrel's hair. For a moment, the feeling of Laras warmed. His eyes were painful as it held back the nearly spilled cry.

The memories of the past were still firmly stuck in his head. He uses his father's power and wealth to obtain Zain, because of his deep love for Laras no matter if Zain loves him or not. Without him knowing, the man was also a madman of treasure and power. They marry. They get their own desires. Laras gets the man he loves, and Zain gets the fortune he wants.

The morning with thin dew still seen covering the hill opposite the vegetable plantation area, made two women who were enjoying the scenery smile brightly. They opened the glass of the blue sedan car with the taxi writing on the top. Breathe fresh air greedily. The two women stared at the plantation nanar there with clear twinkle in their eyes, as if they were nostalgic.

Some vegetable and fruit farmers on the plantation looked towards them as taxis passed by the crowded streets of cyclists. Starting from children, to adults passing by with their bikes and motorcycles. Around there it looks so fun, children play and bathe in a small river on the edge of the rice fields with joy, people greet when looking at each other face. Moments like this felt like they had very rarely met where they had lived before.

"We have arrived at Jl.Cempaka, Neng. Where's the house?" asked the taxi driver to make the two brothers aware of their goals. They are now in Bogor. The birth city of his mother.

"Straight for about a hundred meters, sir. Later on the right side of the road there is a white gate, the number one house from here," explained Cinta as she looked around.

"This one, Tea?" asked the taxi driver a little surprised as he stopped his car.

Everyone stared towards the building surrounded by weeds and vines. The house that looks like it has long been abandoned and not maintained at all. Nana even scrunched her forehead to see the condition of her late grandmother's house.

"Yes, Sir. Thank you, yes sir," said Cinta while handing over some money to the taxi driver and rushed down from his car.

The taxi driver could only clack in surprise, and left the two girls still standing in front of the wooden fence and only shoulder to shoulder. The vines also filled the fence of the simple house. House paint is very dull and moldy.

"Are you sure you want to stay here, brother?" tanya Nana stared in horror at the house facing north.

His eyes swept around the area around the house. Only an empty garden that is overgrown with wild plants and vegetable plantations in front of the house. The distances between the houses in the neighborhood are still far apart.

"Relieve it, Na. Stay clean these plants later also already liveable again," replied Cinta as she dragged her suitcase and began to open the gate of the house that was only locked with a slot key that was rusty.

Love walks leisurely among the weeds that graze his body. Fortunately the woman was wearing long pants and sneaker shoes that covered her entire lower body. His beloved sister walked behind him. He brushed off the wild plants that hit his body in annoyance as if the tree could injure him.

"Why not buy a new house, Kak, anyway" complained Nana when he reached the terrace of the house. The floor looks very dirty. Even the color and ceramic motif of the floor can not be seen because it is perfectly covered by dust attached.

"Don't you know brother didn't take any compensation from the Throne family. The only treasure we have is that of my father's estate and it was already sold all before the divorce. The sales result can only be about two billion, so we have to save money. Didn't you say you wanted to go to management?"

"Yes, of course. I want to make a company or work in the office so as not to overheat."

"That's why we have to skimp. This part of the house is also still good, the building is still strong, and has only been empty five years since the death of grandma."

"Alright, it's up to brother. But really dare to live here alone? Asal Kak Cinta Tau, yaa Nana has won a scholarship to the University of Jakarta. What if suddenly there is.." said Nana with a jail expression.

"No longer confused, where can be disturbed. Let's go in. Helped clean up, no?"

The two brothers finally took to cleaning the simple house of his grandmother located on the border of the village. Love has decided to seek tranquility in the village that she once made a holiday destination every year since childhood. A village with a thousand happy memories. He began cutting wild plants in the yard, while Nana was in charge of cleaning the area in the house. Of course because the girl did not want her smooth skin stung by the sun and itching due to plants.

"Loh, this ...." Suddenly a man of stature was pointing at her outside the fence while Love was cleaning plants under the fence.

Love stood staring at the man in the sweat-soaked sports pants and white t-shirt. She tilted her head while looking at him more and more closely.

"Love, right?" ask the guy with the side hair.

The man had a firm jawline, not too thick eyebrows, full lips, and a soothing look. His smile when staring at Love is also so sincere and sweet as honey that makes his interlocutor can not bear to not smile with him.

"You ...?" Love still seems confused by the presence of a man who seems to know him.

"I'm Rudi, who likes to take you around the village on a bike."

"Well? Rudy? How's different?" love with her perfectly rounded eyes.

"More handsome, huh?"

"Yes, I swear. Last time I met, when my grandmother died, it was a little bit too. Let's go in, Rud," Cinta said as she opened the fence for her unexpected guest.

They finally exchanged stories, reminisced about the past, and reacquainted themselves as before. They are very familiar little friends. Every time Cinta vacationed to her grandmother's house, Rudi was a loyal friend who seemed to be a tour guide for Cinta. Rudi's family is also no less familiar with Rudi. They even often send food to Love's grandparents during life.

With the help of Rudi, within one day, the house was clean and worth living in. The man called six of his plantation employees to help Cinta clean the house. No doubt it was welcomed by Nana who was tired of their journey.

The three of them sat on the front porch. There was no dish on the round wooden table other than the white water that Rudi had bought earlier this afternoon. Love does not have any material to be able to present something to its guests. The wooden chairs they sat on also looked dull because the color of the plitur began to break.

"Still, yes Brother Rud has lightened the burden of Nana's life" said Nana with a smile to reveal a row of white teeth.

"Either. Where can I see the girls cleaning the house as dirty as before just two alone," said Rudi glanced at Cinta who was sitting in the opposite chair.

Nana noticed Rudi's gaze on her brother. The beautiful girl with messy hair boasted a smile seeing Rudi who was looking at her brother meaningfully.
