Alby "He's mine"

14. Gorgeous

A cold chill enveloped the bodies of those who now enjoy Kang Dodit's black coffee. Although the weather is cold, the atmosphere feels warm with a joke made by Reynand's friends. There is no stopping they talk about women, ranging from her beauty, her cleverness, even her body. It is considered ordinary.

"So afternoon, abis lu anterin Dara came home. Kaila met me, Brother Maul, with Sister Dito." Bimo said he was trying to tell me what happened this afternoon.

"Yes continues?" Reynand asked curiously, He straightened up, making her look serious.

"He asked me where. Yes I replied that you went with Dara. He's been waiting a long time in the parking lot." Bimo.

"I'm not good with Kaila, but I'm the one who ngajak. Especially if he's waiting for me." Reynand complains, feeling somewhat sorry for choosing to deliver Dara instead of going with Kaila.

"Lagian lonya also, the basis of the crocodile soul is still attached, how else? If you want to go after Dara, go away Kaila. If you want to go after Kaila, stay away from Dara." Said Maul giving advice, not usually Maul as wise as that.

"I'm just a friend of Ul's with Kaila, if Dara is new."

Dito sipped his coffee, trying to join the conversation tonight. He listened one by one to the people talking, until he finally understood. "I think your treatment to Kaila is just Rey's friend."

"That's it, it's ordinary." Ketus Reynand, against Dito's statement.

Reynand was so sorry, he was also confused how to apologize to Kaila. Moreover, these few days Kaila looks carefree on Reynand, although Reynand is not aware of what makes Kaila upset.

...MOM ...

Go home, it's eleven o'clock.

Okay Ma.

"Gue said yes, nyokap already ngechat. If the cave doesn't come home to sleep outside me tonight." Pamit Reynand to all her friends.

"Yo, be careful Bro." A few of his friends.

Reynand started driving at high speed until he finally got home. The complex of his house was deserted, no one who passed by was even outside the house.

The booming sound of Reynand's motorbike seemed to split their ears of the residents of the complex. He then entered the house, greeting his mother who was still sitting sweetly watching television. Reynand stepped slowly onto the sofa her mother occupied, hugging her warmly and hoping that the hug was reciprocated by her mother as well.

"Tomorrow will you come to Kaila's house?" Ask her Mama while stroking Reynand's hair.

"Oh tomorrow huh? I'm coming with Ma." Answer Spoiled Reynand.

"Okay, nine o'clock."

"Yes." Yeah."

They talked for fifteen minutes, then both got up and rushed to sleep.

"Good Night, sweetie." Say Mother.

"Mama's night too."

The next day, they were ready to leave the house. At nine and ten minutes, Reynand and his mother rushed away in a car. While Adit did not participate because there was group work at his friend's house. Reynand was scared, also guilty. His mind was filled with the sour face that Kaila would give this morning for him.

"Dream about Rey, why?" Tanya Taru was curious.

"Father Ma, think of something again."

At Kaila's house, they both came down and knocked on Kaila's door slowly. After three knocks, the door of the house opened.

"Eh Auntie." Hysteris Kaila who still wears knee-deep casual pants and a tee shirt. Hair that is only paused, and plain face.

"Hello honey, how are you?" Tanya Ndari while hugging Kaila tightly. Kaila's gaze was flat when she saw Reynand also coming to her house.

Ndari took off her embrace, She felt longed for Kaila because she had not met for a long time. Moreover, since there is Dara in Reynand's life, Reynand rarely invite Kaila to visit his house.

"Well Tan, how's Aunt?"

"Neither Kai."

Kaila smiled again, "Let's go in Tan, I'll call Mama."

The three of them went inside the house, and shortly Ratna came out of her room after hearing some noise in the living room. His smile was painted as Ratna came down the stairs, and it was apparent that she was happy because of the arrival of the guests.

"Eh Jeng, how are you?" Ratna asked, while walking and then kissed each other with Dance.

"Alright Jeng, Jeng Ratna how are you?"

"Neither does Jeng." They chuckle softly.

"Tante, Kaila come in first. You see Kaila again has a task, so it's a little busy." Pamit Kaila, feeling uncomfortable in her living room at this time. 

"Oh that, yeah it's Kai." Answer Ndari.

Reynand looked at Kaila, as well as Kaila who was about to leave before them. "Kai."

Kaila looked, actually just imaging the cause in front of their parents. He frowned, showing a sincere face when in fact it was not.

Reynand holds Kaila's hand, taking Kaila out of the house so that their parents don't understand the problem at hand. N and Ratna continue their conversation regarding Ratna's divorce.

As she gets outside, Kaila throws Reynand's hand. He was quite upset because of Reynand's treatment yesterday afternoon.

"I'm sorry, I—" Ucao Reynand who was finally cut by Kaila, He already knows where this conversation is going.

"Gue knows, gapapa. Why do I have to be when Dara needs you more, right?" Kaila asked, a question that seemed piercing to Reynand.

"It's not Kai,"

"Gue told you I'm busy Rey, I'm in first." Pamit Kaila while turning around, Reynand feels that Kaila is really angry with her uncle. Angry Kaila this time is different from usual, it makes her believe that Kaila is really angry.

"Gue knows you're really mad at me, but I'm sorry about Kai's cave." Pinta Reynand, still pleading for her apology to be accepted.

"Gue's not angry, there's nothing to apologize for. It's yes."

"Kai, sorry." Reynand blushed her lips, as if she was about to cry imitating a child. Kaila was about to laugh because of Reynand's funny face this time, before she had never seen this expression.

"What the lo, crisp tau ga." Reveal Kaila with a smile.

"Fine but you smile."

"Gue's smile is a lie so you're happy. Yes, I want to go in." Pamit Kaila again.

"When I'm here you go in, let's dong go with me. As a substitute yesterday afternoon." Take Reynand, face down.

"Where is it? But yes, yes." Kaila replied, Reynand smiled happily.

"Gue take a shower."

•••

An hour into Kaila's room, Reynand was tired of waiting for Kaila to get dressed. Moreover, hearing the chatter of these two mothers that bored him.

Before long, Kaila came down to meet everyone.

"Oh that, yeah gapapa. Be careful." Ratna's message to her son who was kissing the back of his hand.

The two said goodbye and walked to the car. Keeping the promise yesterday afternoon, Reynand and Kaila chose to go to their flagship cafe. Although the price can be said to be quite decent, but it feels very satisfying to the tongue. Actually, Kaila has not been too sincere to accept the apology from Reynand, especially when he remembers the incident yesterday. It was clear that Reynand did prefer Dara over her.

"Let's go down, fuck me." Take Reynand after arriving at the cafe parking lot.

The two of them went down, stepped in harmony into the cafe. Kaila's gaze seemed empty, like there was something stuck in the bottom of her heart.

"Why the? Bengong mulu." Reynand said after the two sat in their usual seats.

"Father, just think this." Answer Kaila, since they improved Kaila became quiet as usual who was jolly. Reynand felt the difference, he understood that Kaila was still angry with him.

"What the hell is it, beautiful? You still mad at me?" Reynand asked, making Kaila feel a little flying because of the call. His cheeks became red and embarrassed.

"Gua gapapa, spelled gapapa too."

"That girl is hard, asked why she must answer gapapa. Turn guy told nebak actually what is, emang guy tuh shaman what the hell." Complain Reynand.

"Gue again my mind bokap aja, could-may dinggalin nyokap me for the sake of the woman he just knew." Kaila said, Reynand nodded in understanding. Now he knows what kind of problem Kaila is thinking.

"Cowo if you're interested in it sometimes do not pay attention to what the sacrifice of women who nemenin from zero." Reply Reynand, stating the truth according to him.

"But the same kasian cave nyokap, every night before going to bed he must be crying. But when I was samperin, he said he wasn't crying. Cave confused what to do, already dozens of times I saw nangis nangis, directly my heart cake slashed." Kaila said she tried to hold back her tears in shame. Lagian Kaila had promised herself not to be whiny about the problems she was facing. Reynand stared fixedly at strong women like his mother, women who could be considered drops by his mother because it was so strong faced with problems. In his heart there was only pity, seeing his best friend several times opened his eyes so that his tears did not come out.

Without any response, Reynand hugs Kaila. Kaila stroked her back slowly, non-soothingly and also encouragingly. Kaila was like falling on her body in Reynand's arms, releasing all the burdens that she felt for some time.

"There are my ears that are always there for the horror of every complaint, there is my back is also always ready to make you lean. The spirit is beautiful." Reynand said, Kaila felt flying about Reynand's words. In contrast to Dave's treatment that always demands this it so that Kaila becomes a perfect figure in his eyes.

"Thank you Rey."

"My turn to make your nolongin from the worst condition, I also never fretted about losing my bokap time died."

•••

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon they just went home for a walk, around Jakarta which is jammed not kidding. The hot air made Kaila impatient to enter the house and drink cold water. Ndari is still at Ratna's house waiting for their children to arrive, while Reynand now walks behind Kaila to the dining table.

There was nothing new from Ndari and Ratna, since Reynand and Kaila left until they returned home their seats remained the same. Mother-mother chats can never be cut by anything.

"Home home?" Ask Ndari.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Reynand.

Feeling that it was noon, Reynand and Ndari said goodbye. Ratna had offered to eat lunch at her home, but Tari refused because she wanted to prepare food for Adit. Anyway Reynand just ate at the cafe with Kaila.

At home, a woman sits on the porch. Waiting for the home owner to arrive.

"Loh Dara?" Reynand asked, He did not expect that Dara would come to his house. Of course he was happy, his chatter visited his house without any news first.

"Hi Brother." Dara Sahut.

"Oh this is Dara?" Ask Ndari.

"Yes Aunt." Dara hugged Dari tightly, so longed because she never met.

"It's so pretty now." Puji Ndari's.

"That's it." Reynand.

Dara gave her a box of cookies she bought on the road before she reached her destination, Reynand's favorite cake from childhood. The cake shop too.

"Let's go in." Take Ndari.

The three of them enter, Dara and Reynand sit in the living room while Ndari puts her cake on the dining table.

"Have you been waiting a long time?" Ask Reynand.

"What a hell, just now."

Dara and Reynand sat next to each other, so close that Dara could smell a different scent from Reynand. Not the fragrance oil Reynand used to wear, his favorite fragrance oil, made him sleep in Reynand's arms.

"Have gone with the girl?" Ask Dara, seeming to interrogate.

"Yes, it's the same Mama." Reynand answered.

"Why?"

"She smells like cewe." Dara Revealed.

Reynand looked around, looking rather nervous as Kaila's fragrance oil unwittingly stuck to her shirt. Ndari came with orange juice, accompanied by some snacks.

"Tante, don't bother." Dara.

"That's a bother Dar."

Dance sat in front of Reynand and Dara who were now keeping their distance, like never before. They're ashamed that Dance came.

"So where's Tan from?" Ask Dara.

"From home—" Answer Nfrom cut Reynand.

"Home of Mama's friends." Ceplos Reynand, doesn't want Dara to know herself from Kaila's house.

Ndari looked at Reynand confusedly, frowning, still clueless with Reynand's words. Reynand smiled looking at her Mama's expression when shocked.

"In the drink Dar." Ndari.

"Yes Tan."

Sweat drenched Adit's forehead, He just came home from the field after playing ball. Although it is complex, but in fact the children there have high solidarity unlike other complex children.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Adit said with his spirit.

"Wa'alaikumussalam." Answer the three people in the living room.

Dara looked at Adit who was still wearing shabby clothes, full of sweat, and hands that were invisible but in fact dirty. She is most anti with dirt, Dara is a person who feels disgusted when he sees something dirty. That is the reason Dara wants to approach Reynand who is always clean and fragrant.

"Is this Adit?" Ask Dara.

"Yes Brother." Answer Adit.

"Know Sister? Brother Dara." Dara.

"Our little time often playing together, maybe not really. You were a little girl then." Dara.

Adit raised his hand, about to shake hands with Dara. They had not met for a long time, so Adit invited Kak Dara to shake hands. Dara looks disgusted, staring at Adit from top to bottom.

"You took a shower first." Dara said subtly, indirectly rejecting Adit's hand that invites him to shake hands. Reynand and Ndari looked at Dara confused, apparently Dara's nature had changed. Adit retracted his hand, then smiled fakely. He was a little annoyed at Dara who refused to shake hands with him.
