Bound of Lies
Cosplay as Husband
"I'm not that good as Renata, believe me."
"But I will try to be the best just for you."
Fabian answered while inserting Renata's hair into the arch of his earlobe and with a deep gaze that is very difficult for Renata to articulate.
***
Since Fabian's departure from his apartment, the man's words have always ringed in his ears. "I'm not that good as Renata, believe me. But I'll try to be the best just for you."
What kind of man Fabian really is, although not long ago they got acquainted and decided to be in love, Fabian always behaved well and treated her like a queen. One time the man was cold was when he was jealous. Doesn't jealousy signify that Fabian really loves him ?
Like Renata is really in love. Renata only hopes to God that Fabian loves him, just as he loves Fabian. Every time Fabian didn't have his heart feeling lonely.
Why is it so easy for him to fall in love with a man he just met.
***
That afternoon according to Fabian's promise to pick up Renata, spend a little time on the sidelines of the busyness he lived.
In fact Renata had refused, Fabian's reaction was too excessive just because he had the flu.
But convincing Fabian seems very difficult. Not wanting to argue Renata finally complies.
Now they are waiting for their turn to call at a famous Hospital in South Jakarta number area.
Somehow Fabian seemed more cheerful smiling to himself. "What's Fabian crazy ?" Inner Renata in the heart. "Don't get to God....."
"Darling, why are you smiling at yourself ? You're not stressed, are you ?"
Fabian turned to Renata, surprised by what the woman asked.
"You think I'm crazy, honey ? Of course not your boyfriend is healthy born inner." Fabian replied with no question that Renata asked.
"Why laugh at yourself?"
"You see, baby, people have seen us. Maybe they think we're newlyweds waiting in line for the obstetrician." Said chuckling.
"And I like that. I'm doing cosplay being the ideal husband."
"Take note of this" he said
"Darling are you still nauseous ? Shall I get you a drink or massage your shoulders ?" Fabian said with his voice raised. Suddenly people around them turned their heads and smiled at the intimacy of this fake husband and wife.
"My wife seems to be pregnant." Fabian. And for whatever sake Renata's red blushing face restrained the embarrassment.
"What rabbi are you crazy?
"Why should I be ashamed, it turns out this fun to be a husband." Chortled.
They were soon called into the check room. As Renata feels, it's just the common cold. It's just that Fabian was too good to respond.
Out of the examination room, Fabian again treated Renata like a frail woman who needed attention. Yes he is enjoying his cosplay being a husband.
***
Within a week Renata had returned to health, had been working as usual and her relationship with Fabian was getting closer.
Not a single day was missed to meet. Despite Fabian's busy work schedule, the man always took the time to meet even if it was just lunch.
Like this afternoon they spend time together for lunch at a restaurant located near their office area.
"Mmm, darling this week my mommy papi is coming home to Jakarta. If you don't mind, I'd like to take you to see both of my parents."
"Pppfft," immediately Renata spouted out the drink in his mouth in shock.
"A. A...Are you sure ? We have only been acquainted for 2 months. Isn't it too fast?" Renata asked Fabian stuttering and worriedly.
"I've never been this sure. Both my parents will really like you. Don't you worry."
" It just so happens that my brother and his family will be present as well so you can get acquainted."
"Would you please?" Fabian tried to convince Renata.
Renata seemed to think for a moment to consider whether this was the right decision to meet the Fabian family so soon and whether they could accept him who was just an ordinary person.
"This is proof that I'm serious about you Renata."
Renata did not answer just nodding and his head sign agreed.

Sunday had arrived, as recommended by his friend Renata, making brownies to be brought as a hand for Fabian's parents.
Chocolate brownies and cheese brownies have been beautifully packaged and she is getting ready.
At 11pm Fabian had come to pick up. Panic attacks began to hit his fingers began to feel cold, his stomach felt heartburn when he had not yet met.
Renata wore straight black pants, long-sleeved peach blouse and mocca-colored sandal wedges. Today he wanted to look polite when he first met Fabian's parents.
With his two brownies they set off.
"You're gonna be fine. Believe it." Fabian said as he kissed Renata's head.
***
It didn't take long, now the car they were riding in had entered the main gate of Fabian's parents' house.
Look home or more deservedly called a mansion with shades of white and gold. It really shows its luxury.
Renata grew increasingly anxious with both of her hands sweating and squeezing each other. Of course Fabian was aware of Renata's anxiety.
Fabian helped to untie Renata's seat belt. Then kiss Renata's lips at a glance. "You'll definitely be very welcome, honey. Don't worry."
They got out of the car with their hands together.
The door of the house was opened by a servant in a black white uniform. "You, you've been waiting in your master's dining room" he said and then bowed his head to Renata as a sign of respect.
"All right, thank you."
This European-style house is simply amazing, with a large Italian sofa, some paintings, urns and furniture that complement its luxury. Renata's eyes were fascinated with everything.
" Is this a girl named Renata?" Asked a middle-aged woman who still looked very beautiful.
For a moment Renata gasped. Seeing Fabian who immediately hugged the woman warmly, Renata was sure it was her mother.
"Let's go in, honey. We've been waiting for you."
"Known, I'm Fabian's mom." Speaks kindly.
"Fabian is so much of your talk and glad we finally got to meet."
"I.i Yes Aunt, nice to meet aunty. I brought brownies for aunt." Said Renata while handing over 2 packets of the cake.
Mami Fabian greeted Renata warmly and even gave her a hug. A little lost Renata's anxiety.
They walked to the dining room. There's been waiting for Fabian's father. His brother and his children and wife.
Fabian's father welcomed Renata openly and warmly, as did his older brother Sakti. Sakti's wife Kirana was so friendly, she conversed with Renata as if she had known each other for a long time.
" You know what, Renata ? Fabian is always talking about you" Kirana said.
"That's why brother ? What did he say?"
"Say she (Fabian) has a very wonderful boyfriend. And really loved her."
Renata felt surprised and happy at the same time.
They had lunch in a warm, family atmosphere. Occasionally Fabian's father asks about Renata's background, and Renata answers all the questions with a reality-appropriate answer.
He came from a family with middle economic status. His father was a private employee, his mother was only a housewife. And many other things Renata explained.
Clearly both Fabian's parents accepted Renata with open arms. All that matters to them is Renata a good woman. With a clear origin. Because both Fabian parents were not born directly into the sultan but with hard work and prayer they can be successful. Renata is so grateful for all this. What he was worried about was that rejection did not happen, even Fabian's two nephews did not hesitate to indulge in Renata.
During this lunch banquet unabashedly Fabian was being sweet to Renata.
Renata who was embarrassed, protested against Fabian. "It's okay, baby, I'm doing cosplay practice as a husband." Both Fabian's parents laughed. "Hopefully as soon as possible to be a real husband is not just a cosplay," Sakti chimed in. And yes Renata's face blushed with happiness.
