Canticles

68. Lilian and Riko

Gama arrived home with a tired body. But he was not used to sleeping with his body and dirty clothes. Therefore, when entering the house, the first thing to go is the toilet.

Gama cleanses his body with warm water to ward off the whack of fatigue. Then he went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Although at Ramon's house he drank coffee earlier, but Gama felt the need to drink more coffee before going to bed later.

When pouring coffee powder into the glass Gama remembered the words Lilian who advised Rex not to drink too much coffee.

Gama recalled that he deliberately came to Ramon's house because he wanted to hang out with Ramon and Rex to watch the ball game on television.

" If you have been drinking coffee all day, you should drink milk before going to bed. Although it may not have any effect on you, but at least let your body enjoy the high-nutritive drink once a day," Lilian said as Rex was about to brew coffee for her and Gama.

Rex and Gama looked at each other then nodded. Then Rex replaced the coffee with hot chocolate milk to accompany their hotbed. Ramon chose water according to his wife's request.

" What Lian said was real. Yes, there is no harm in giving his advice. She's a nurse, she can't be the one talking.." muttered Gama with a smile.

After that Gama brew milk to accompany him before going to bed later. Although it has a sufficient stock of milk at home, but Gama prefers coffee. He deliberately prepared milk just because he did not want his mother to scold him. Mira always emphasized that Gama drank milk every day. Usually when visiting Mira will check the contents of the closet. And he'll be mad if he doesn't find milk there.

" It's good for Gama's body and brain...!" said Mira then.

" I'm an adult Ma, why else drink milk..," said Gama.

" Milk is good for all Gama ages. The Prophet also loved to drink milk. Do you want to underestimate the Prophet's habit...?" sela Gondo was upset.

Gondo was saturated with the debate of his son and wife who discussed the same thing every time they ate breakfast.

After hearing his father's words Gama rushed to reach the glass filled with milk and gulped it down to the toilet. Mira smiled in satisfaction while Gondo let out a sigh of relief.

Gama smiled again considering his discussion with his mother. His friends used to think that Gama was a child who was spoiled and never scolded by his parents. But what happened was just the opposite. Gama and his mother often quarreled and his father was the referee.

Gama's daydreams were caved in as his phone rang. Gama rushes to grab his phone and sees the name of the Taufan sheriff on his phone screen. He smiled and took the call.

" Assalamualaikum Fan, what are these nights like, nelephon...?" greet Gama.

" Alaikumsalam. There needs to be Gam, the same time Lo. It may not be that..," said Taufan to make Gama laugh.

" What do you need...?" ask Gama to pretend he doesn't know.

" His mother Rex hasn't told me the same story Lo...?" ask Typhoon.

" What story...?" asked Gama while sipping milk in his glass slowly.

" On the explosion of the chicken noodle kiosk Gam..," said Taufan.

" Oh that. Yes, Rex said it before, '" said Gama quickly.

" Well, the plan is Lo same Lian will be questioned because you were in that place before the explosion occurred. Is it Gam...?" ask Typhoon.

" Gapapa Fan's. God willing I am ready. When do I go to the police station...?" asked Gama while stepping into the room.

" Maybe the day after, because the officer also still has to ask for information to several other witnesses..," said Taufan.

" Oh that. But if I can same Lian scheduled with aja yes Fan. I'm afraid she's scared and won't come later. Can't you...?" ask Gama expectantly.

" could. Lo same Lian can come to give information after noon yes..," said Taufan.

" God willing is ready. Thanks Fan..," said Gama.

" Together, I have to thank you because Lo is willing to help the Police. Then I close it first, Gam. Assalamualaikum..," said Taufan.

Gama put his phone on the nightstand and gulped down the milk in his glass. Gama then lay down on the bed. He looked at the ceiling of the room while recalling what he had experienced earlier.

Gama recalled how he felt when he saw Lilian coming to his workshop with a man. At that time Gama was very jealous, but he tried to calm down and did not show his jealousy.

Gama also did not like to see the attitude of the man who recognized Lilian as his friend. Looks pretentious and selfish. It was fortunate that Lilian was cautious and did not let the man manage her let alone touch her.

When Lilian refused to acknowledge the man as her lover, Gama smiled with relief. Moreover, Lilian also refused to be delivered by the man and preferred to be with Gama.

Gama rubbed his face while remembering the moment where he hugged Lilian tightly because he did not want the girl to approach the location of the fire.

Gama's heart also beat faster than usual when he touched the wound on his shoulder due to Lilian's bite. Somehow Gama felt his male desire rise up in light of Lilian's little bite.

" Good ga khilaf. If you take khilaf again, the address is finished deh Gue..," muttered Gama while shaking his head.

Gama tried to close his eyes because he felt he needed a break. Shortly thereafter, Gama fell asleep.

On the promised day Gama came to fulfill the police call. Earlier Gama accidentally picked up Lilian at Sentosa Hospital.

At four in the afternoon Gama arrived at the parking lot of Sentosa Hospital. He rushed down from the car because he wanted to wait for Lilian in the lobby.

While stepping towards the loby Gama saw a pair of men and women fighting in the side garden. Initially Gama wanted to ignore them but when he recognized the voice of the woman, Gama stopped and observed them.

Gama rounded his eyes when he saw Lilian was trying to escape from the hand checks of a man who was none other than Riko.

" Don't be impudent Ko, freelance I...!" lillian's screams were furious.

" It won't, until Lo explains it all...!" sahut Riko while looking at Lilian.

" All the shit. Inget ya Ko, Lo is nobody I and I don't have to tell you anything Lo...!" lillian said annoyedly.

" I'm going to make Lo an important person in my life...!" riko said as she pulled Lilian's hand violently and prepared to take her away.

" Lepasin Lilian...!" gama said suddenly while standing looking at Lilian's hand that was in Riko's hand check.

Seeing Gama's presence made Riko smile cynically. He looked at Lilian who was still trying to release her hand.

" He, he is also included in the list of people who must be Lo clear with I. Li...!" said Riko while pointing at Gama.

" Lilian's mental illness is yes..," Lilian said, grimacing in pain.

The impatient Gama finally raised his fist towards Riko. Two blows launched by Gama made Riko fall down to kiss the ground. Afterwards Gama grabbed Lilian's hand and hid the girl behind her body.

" You're disturbing Lian again, Lo's brother...!" threat Gamma.

Then Gama took Lilian away and left Riko. Riko appears to bow her head while wiping the blood coming out of her nostrils.

" Chat*ng. Wait for my revenge..," maki Riko lirih while trying to get up.

Afterwards Riko walked gontai leaving the park while carrying a grudge in her heart.
