Andira & Axello. (Signed )
28. Thought your responsibility.
In one room, a man was looking through the financial statements of the cafe he founded two years ago. It has been about this one week he did not come to the cafe because he was busy with school and also his marriage. Who else if not Axell.
Axell is so serious about reading every report from financial, spending and other data. Until he finally remembered what his best friend had said to him.
"Gue didn't think of Lo. For me, everything is enough. I have a responsibility to someone. And Lo... I don't care." Axell.
Ah, what was that? Responsibility? Ah. yes, Axell remembered. He is no longer a free man. She is now a husband of people. He thought the past was no longer important to him.
Suddenly he remembered the girl, Dira. The girl he married. Bi Minah said that she was afraid of Dira being tired and the pain of Kemambuh.
'What pain is he?' Inner Axell.
Axell sighed softly, considering how closed Dira was to him. Given the status of both are husband and wife, there should be nothing to cover up, right?
"I'm here two hours, I have to go home." Sneakily.
...***...
When Axell got home, he immediately entered Dira's room which is now his room as well.
🎶 Fly me with blue sea
Flap your little wings without a slick
I know I'm not how much
Compared to your heart's heartfelt and stretched
As he was just entering the room, Axell faintly heard a melodious sound from the balcony of the room. Axell walked slowly closer towards the direction the Voice was coming from.
I'm taking you across the constellations
On a cold night he reluctantly disappears
Take my hand, let's sail
I give you a deck full of radiating warmth
Let our minds be different
What matters is that the drums are rhythmic
We run, perch, spin across the board
In the same sky, we are one
Axell noticed the girl singing so sweetly. Axell really enjoyed the song that Dira sang. It was as if he had forgotten about what Verrel had said to him earlier.
A smile was clearly visible from the corner of Axell's lips.
Let me say the word love
For the universe to hear the roar of the waves
Which moves across our veins
Who's beating while we look into the eye
Joking around with laughter
You said
Let our minds be different
Yang
In the same sky, we are one
One
Juvenile
One
Juvenile
One too
Let go of all your fatigue
Dance with me
Promise me you're happy
'I'm holding onto our story
Let's stay forever
Let our minds be different
What matters is that the drums are rhythmic
We run, perch, spin across the board
In the same sky, we are one
In the same sky, we are one
Just as Dira finished singing, Dira's phone suddenly shook,
Drrt...
Lazily, Dira grabbed the phone she had placed on her side table.
📲 Nayla is Calling...
Dira did not receive a phone call directly from Nayla. He was thinking, with what Nayla would ask him later.
"Hallo, Nay."
"(....)."
"(.)." Hearing what Nayla said, Dira immediately patted her head. And it did not escape Axell's attention, Axell seemed to pull one eyebrow. As if asking why Dira patted his own jidat.
"Don't, Nay. Emm... I mean... I'm again at my aunt's house, in Bandung. Aye." Yeah." Said Dira while grabbing one ear. It is Dira's habit to lie.
Seeing what Dira was doing, Axell pulled one corner of his lips while shaking his head slowly. He knew Dira was lying.
"Relax Naylaku, baby, I'm going to school tomorrow."
"(....)."
"Ok, Bye."
Tutt...
After the call on his phone ended, Dira seemed to stroke his chest slowly while exhaling slowly.
*kayak abis why, Dir? 😅
"Well?" said Axell suddenly and successfully made Dira surprised.
"Sister Axell." He looked down at Dira while stroking her chest slowly.
"Sorry, are you surprised?" Axell asked who felt guilty. Dira just shook his head slowly.
"Why are you home, Dir?" Axell asked curiously, because just now when Axell came home he went straight into the room.
"No idea, brother. I was in the room." Answer Dira.
"Yes already. When Papa comes home, tell me." Axell replied as he passed towards the bathroom.
"Yes, brother." Briefly Dira while walking towards the wardrobe to prepare a change of clothes for Axell. Like what Mama Diva once said, if Dira status is now a wife, then as much as possible she should be able to prepare needs for her husband. Including preparing a change of clothes for Axell who was bathing. Axell never asked for it.
After preparing a change of clothes for Axell, Dira rushed out of the room. Because soon Axell will be out of the bathroom to change clothes. He remembered, Axell had only brought a towel when he went to the bathroom, surely Axell would come out naked.
When Dira walked down the stairs, Dira passed Mama Diva and Papa Pras who had just returned from Bandung.
"Well, Papa and Mama are home yet? He said there's business? How much cepet?" Chirps Dira with a series of questions coming out of her mouth. As far as Dira, it was on the phone Mama Diva said that maybe a new afternoon nyampe home.
"Papa Sama did not go to Bandung, dear. Papa's client came here." Answer Papa Pras.
"O..." Replied Dira while nodding her head.
"Where's axell, baby?" Ask mom Diva.
"Again in the room, Ma. Take a shower." More." Answer Dira as is.
"Yes, Mama and Papa are going to the room for a while, baby." Mama Diva.
Just like Mama Diva and Papa Pras, Dira now also headed to her room.
Chequek.
Dira goes into the room. But he didn't see Axell. On the bed, Axell wasn't there.
Dira knocks on the bathroom door, thinking that Axell might still be in the bathroom. But wait, when Dira saw the clothes he prepared for Axell that he put on the bed earlier, the clothes were no longer there. That means the clothes he prepared were already worn by Axell.
"From me." Axell asked who suddenly appeared from the balcony of the room. Dira turned to Axell.
"Papa's gone home, brother." Said Dira who immediately got a nod of the head from Axell.
"Ok, Thank's." Axell answered and rushed out of his room.
Axell walked to the living room, where the Dira family usually gather to just watch TV or just to relax.
"Only by yourself, Axell? Where's she?" Ask Papa Pras who just came down from upstairs. While Mama Diva he had come down from earlier and was now in the kitchen.
"Take another room, Pa." Answer Axell politely. Papa Pras just smiled at Axell's reply.
"Pa, someone wants Axell to tell Papa." Axell said in the same tone.
"What's up, Axell? Just tell me what you want to say, don't hesitate!" Answer Papa Pras. Without wasting any time, Axell immediately made his point.
"Look, Pa, tomorrow Axell and Dira are starting school. Given the distance from home to school that takes longer than from the apartment, Axell took the initiative to invite Dira to live in the apartment, Pa. That's if Papa allows." Axell.
Not yet deigned to answer papa Pras just nodded his head while thinking about something. Seeing the reaction of Papa Pras, Axell seemed to doubt that his father-in-law allowed him to invite Dira to live with him in the apartment.
"Son Axell, Dira is now legally your wife. In the outline, Dira is your responsibility now. After a girl gets married, the responsibilities of her parents are transferred to her husband. So you want to take Dira anywhere, that's your right." Papa Pras.
Hearing what Papa Pras said, Axell nodded in understanding. Before finally Papa Pras spoke again.
"Son Axell, can you ask for something with you?" Papa Pras said to his only son-in-law.
"What, Pa?" Axell said he wanted to know.
"Papa knows, you married Dira for being forced to agree to the matchmaking that Papa had agreed with your father... But Papa hope, you can take good care of Dira. Dira is Papa's only daughter. So Papa asks you to be responsible for everything that concerns Dira. Remember son Axell, your relationship, no kidding." Papa Pras said expectantly.
"Axell understands, Pa. Without asking for anything, Axell would definitely take good care of Dira. Anyway, Axell hasn't been so close to Dira, Pa. Axell wants Axell and Dira to get to know each other." Answer Axell steady.
A smile emerged from the lips of papa Pras. He did not wrongly match his daughter with his best friend's own son.
...***...
After Axell expressed his intention to Papa Pras and say goodbye to Papa Pras and Mama Diva, now Axell and Dira are on their way to the apartment.
Silent.
The atmosphere in the car, there was no one coming out of the two. Axell broke the silence between them.
"Where, Dir? You don't mind living in my same apartment?" Ask Axell.
"No, brother." Brief Dira.
"Lo doesn't feel compelled, does he? Mumpung not far away, I can turn around." Ask again.
"No need, brother." Dira replied that Dira was hesitant to agree to Axell's invitation to stay in the apartment. But how else, considering the status of Axell who has officially become her husband.
The two reached Dira's apartment. Earlier Axell asked Dira to take some of Dira's needs for school tomorrow.
"Here's Lo's stuff, let me take it."
