BBTB #27

Rita and Haris are saddened to lose Mochi's joy. Mochi often locked himself in his room. Rita and Haris have done various ways to get Mochi back to how it was. However, nil.

The sound of knocking on the door blew the daydreams of Rita and Haris.

"Who's Bun ?" ask Haris.

"No idea, Dad, Mommy open first," said Rita moved from her seat.

"Assalammualaikum, Mother," said Gavin to greet Rita's hand.

"Gavin, Gavin."

"Mochinya there is a Mother ?" ask Gavin.

Rita's face turned gloomy.

"There, in the room."

"Mother why ? Mochi's all right, Mother ?" urge Gavin to worry.

"Mochi is good, go in first Gavin," asked Rita.

Gavin followed Rita's footsteps. In the living room, Haris sat leaning against the sofa.

"Assalammualaikum, Dad," said Gavin.

"Waalaikumsalam, Son, Gavin."

"Dad how are you ?"

"Well, Gavin."

"Mochi how's Dad ?" ask Gavin.

"That's it, Gavin. These few days, Mochi had often confined himself in the room. Mochi is often moody," explained Haris.

"True Gavin, there have been various ways Mother did to comfort Mochi, but Mochi remains reluctant to leave the room" said Rita carrying a tray containing tea and snacks.

"Gavin's permission yes, Dad, Mother, please persuade Mochi," pinta Gavin.

"Yes, Gavin."

Gavin moved from his seat to Mochi's room. Gavin knocked on the brown door slowly.

"Mochi, it's me, Gavin. Open the door, yes" said Gavin.

Gavin waited a few seconds, but the door was not opened. Gavin tried to open the doorknob. Gavin steps in, still in the same state as when Gavin first discovered Mochi.

"Hey, what's wrong with you ?" sapa Gavin approached the supine Mochi by dangling his head at the end of the bed.

No, there is no answer. Gavin pulled Mochi's hand which was like a robot being moved.

"You sick ? come on, tell me."

Mochi remained silent. Mochi's tears kept falling on his cheeks. Gavin took Mochi into his arms. Mochi's cry became more and more. Gavin rubbed Mochi's back soothingly.

"Don't cry anymore, why princess Gavin ?" tanya Gavin broke their embrace.

"I'm a dirty co-dirty."

"Sst, who said ? to me, you remain holy."

Gavin wiped Mochi's tears and framed his face.

"Don't cry, Princess, you stay holy in my eyes. You're still Mochi, the most innocent girl I've ever known. The stupidest girl who was willing to drain the savings to cook my favorite food. The girl is the most cheerful when she talks again," continued Gavin smiling.

Mochi blinked her eyes trying to widen the smile.

"Jn ...."

Mochi hugged Gavin tightly.

"Don't cry, make this a lesson in your life. Every problem, there's a way out. What are you worried about again ? never think badly if you don't want to happen" advises Gavin wisely.

"Still Gavin," Mochi parsed his embrace.

"Yes dear. Now, you get ready, yes, I want to take you somewhere."

"Where ?"

"Later I'll tell you, now, you take a bath, yes, the smell of asem," sneered Gavin closing his nose.

Mochi sniffed his body and chopped.

"I don't stink, I don't smell good" Mochi pouted.

"Then anyway ? try me to kiss."

"Ish, you're looking for Gavin's chance" Mochi said, avoiding Gavin who started sniffing Mochi's body odor.

"No, you stink, really," said Gavin.

"No ! last night I took a shower," Mochi argued scowling.

"Well, right, last night ? this afternoon, isn't it ?" look at Gavin laughing.

Mochi covered his face using both of his palms holding in embarrassment. Gavin chuckled, and tickled Mochi.

"Ahaha Gavin, stop ! ticklish !"

"No, before you admit it."

"Ish, yes-yes. I haven't had a shower since this morning, satisfied !" ketus Mochi scowled.

"Well, that's dong. Get ready, I'm glad you smile again" Gavin rubbed Mochi's head.

Twenty minutes later ...

Mochi was already prepared with his fresher appearance. Rita and Haris smiled at Mochi's already better appearance.

"Mochi, you want to go ?" ask Rita.

"Yes, Mother, may ?"

"May dear, don't go home tonight, '" Haris said.

"Dad, Mother, Gavin take Mochi the way first yes," said Gavin.

"Be careful" added Rita.

"Yes Mother, Father, assalammualaikum" said Mochi.

"Mochi Waalaikumsalam."

Rita and Haris smiled, as Gavin managed to persuade Mochi to come out of his room.

"Where are you taking me ?" mochi said looking at Gavin who was focusing on driving.

"To a place that will make you happy," Gavin replied, looking back.

"I mean ?"

"You're beautiful today in that navy blue dress, like a princess," Gavin said.

Mochi hid the crimson hue that ran through both of his cheeks. Gavin who saw a small smile.

"Gombal."

Mochi turned his eyes to look at the street he was familiar with.

"Gavin, this is ?"

Gavin nodded.

"Well, I miss that place" Mochi said enthusiastically.

A few minutes into the journey, Gavin's car reached the edge of the lake with a vast expanse of green grass.

"Yuk, get down" Gavin asked.

"It's fresh, it's still the same" Mochi said, breathing the air around him.

"Come, let's go there," point Gavin at the lake's edge.

Mochi nodded.

Gavin tied his hand to Mochi's handcuffs. Mochi smiled looking at Gavin.

Gavin sat himself under a shady tree with many large roots sticking out.

"Here, near me. You sit in front of me" Gavin ordered.

Mochi sat down in front of Gavin. Gavin hugged Mochi, in order to get closer to her. Mochi set the right sitting position so that the dress he wore did not fly.

"Now, close your eyes. Suppose, in front of you a garden full of beautiful flowers. Feel the beauty and comfort."

Mochi followed Gavin's instructions by closing his eyes.

"Let go of the burdens that linger in your heart and mind" Gavin continued."Say, one name that will make you always happy and be a strong woman whenever there is a problem."

"Space Gavin."

Mochi opened his eyes closed with a wide smile.

"Why me ?"

"Because of you, the person I loved until this very second."

Mochi looked at Gavin from the side. Gavin held Mochi and helped improve his sitting position.

"I love you more."

"Instant, what ?"

"I want—we're married."

"Married ?" rework Mochi enthusiastically.

"Will you marry me ?"

"But—"

"Say, yes, or no," cut Gavin.

"Yes, I do," Mochi replied steadily.

"I'll try to solve this problem. You wait for me" Pinta Gavin.

"I also want this matter to be resolved quickly". And I hope what I fear does not happen, Mochi continued inwardly.

"Mochi, I don't want Gio to take advantage of the situation."

"But, what about your family Gavin ?"

"Papa, Mama and Diandra, support me. But I don't want to be selfish. I will do everything I can to achieve our happiness" Gavin smiled.

Mochi hugged Gavin tightly. Gavin returned Mochi's embrace was no less tight. Gavin hopes that their current togetherness will not be the last moment.
