Tok tok!!!
Aileen walked slightly limping towards the door after hearing the knocking sound there.
"Iris??" he said after seeing the woman standing at the door with some food in her hand.
"Hi!!, , I came to bring you some food, Brother David this morning contacted Mamah. He said your leg was sprained. She was worried that you could not cook by yourself. Then he asked Mamah to prepare food for you" Iris said as she helped Aileen walk into the kitchen, then prepared the food for Aileen.
Aileen was overjoyed when she heard that it was Mamahnya David who cooked the meal.
"Seriously it's your mom who cooks??"
"Yes!, , Brother David himself asked, he even asked me to take a video of Mamah while cooking.he didn't want anyone else to cook for you"
"really??" aileen's cheeks meet.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" the tip of Iris's eyes looked at Aileen who was blushing in embarrassment.
"Cieeee, , glad you got the attention of Brother David" Iris clucked then, she gave the food to Aileen.
"I see that Brother David is very serious with you, he has never treated a woman this special. Even the dozens of women who had been close to him had never received any attention until like this. But why did David say he didn't want to marry you?"
Aileen coughed coughly at Iris's words. He then grabbed the glass and gulped slowly at its contents.
"What are you talking about!!, , it's still too early to talk about marriage. I haven't thought about getting there either!"
"Really??, , yeah. You are young too! enjoy your youth before it's too late lest you regret it later"
Aileen sighed, trying to ease her throat. She had not thought about getting married, but hearing Iris's words, as if David did not want to marry her, made her heart feel a little disappointed. One day, however, women will want to get married.
"But calm, only you can change the personality of Brother David. One day she'll change her mind and marry you"
"What the heck is a child, , why are you bothering to think about it" Aileen pushed onto Iris, trying to find a diversion for her feelings.
"Yeeee, , little one like this I'm ready to get married!" Iris threw her sweet smile towards Aileen.
"Diiih, , yes, I am also applying for Kak Kenzi!"
"Kok you know??"
"Yes, I forgot what he said to you at the airport!" Aileen chuckled, then finished the rest of her meal.
Iris smiled blushing in embarrassment, her cheeks looked so blushing.
"Oh yeah, , by the way 'cause you live alone??" Iris searched every corner of the house.
"No!, I have a friend. Name's Koyoko"
"Where is he?" Iris walked towards the sofa, her steps glued when she saw an identity card that was under the table.
"Working in the minimarket! enter her morning" Aileen had finished her meal. Then he walked towards the sofa approaching Iris.
While the woman was investigating Aileen's identity card in her hand.
"Tomorrow your birthday???"he said while giving the card to Aileen.
"Really??, , why did I forget!" Aileen grabbed the card from Iris' hand.
"Stupid!!, , birthdays themselves can forget" Iris said lazily, then she glanced at Aileen.
"But don't expect David to bring you a birthday cake tomorrow!"
"Why?"
"Didn't I tell you about your captain?, , if my brother is afraid of dark and narrow places, this is also one of the things he hates" Iris told him about his brother's dark childhood.
"She can't see a cake with candles on someone's birthday. Even if it's his own birthday"
Aileen was stunned to hear the story from Iris, there was a hint of disappointment in her chest when she found out she could not celebrate her birthday with someone special to her.
"So he never celebrated his own birthday??"
"It's okay, I can celebrate with you"
"Yes!, , I will prepare a cake for you. So don't be sad. Or we'll go shopping for your party tonight!" Iris looks excited.
"Can, , I'll be ready!"
♡♡♡
"Are you sure you want to come downstairs for shopping??" Iris was worried about Aileen who continued to force to enter the minimarket.
"I can still walk" too"
"Okay, don't get far from me. I'll get you" Iris out of the car first. Then he walked to the other side to help Aileen get out of the car.
Inside the minimarket Iris and Aileen are seen to include all the groceries they need. Aileen just wanted to cook to eat together. He didn't mean to throw a party like the big guys do.
"Do we need this?" Iris hugged a bottle of beer in her arms.
"I don't drink!, , get rid of it" Aileen turned her eyes the other way.
"Come on I beg you. I'm old enough to drink beer. Yeah!!, , can ya?" Iris continued to beg like a child who was asking to buy a mainann, she wanted Aileen to allow herself to buy the beer.
Aileen complained annoyedly.
"All right, just one!"
"Ah!, , you are indeed a very kind-hearted Kaka Ipar candidate!" Iris gave Aileen a kiss on her cheek.
"Basic!!"
While Aileen pushed slowly the basket while looking for some needs that were around her.
Kraa!!!
Busy looking for items, Aileen accidentally crashed her basket into the basket of others in front of her.
"I'm sorry" Aileen was stunned when she saw the man who almost hit her last night. Abel Trlihat is very different from last night. Last night she was wearing only a t-shirt and pants. While now he was wearing an ash-coloured suit that wrapped around his body so beautifully. Even combing her hair back very neatly.
"You!" Abell turned to look at Aileen. The man looked very happy to meet Aileen there.
"Yes, , "
Abell walked up to Aileen, his eyes looking down to confirm the condition of Aileen's legs.
"Your feet are fine?, , why don't you call me to tell me how much money you spent treating your wounds?, , I'll replace them"
"No need, , , thank you for worrying about me. But I'm really okay!" Aileen was flattered when Abell took a good look at her. Now he was a little surprised when Abell stretched out her hand.
"Abell" said the man fondly.
Aileen was hesitant when she wanted to extend her hand, but quickly Abell instantly touched Aileen's hand.
"A, Aileen"
"Aileen??" Abell repeated Aileen's words.
"Sweet name, , as sweet as the person" she smiled again, even wider to the point of filling her face.
"What are you doing here, brother? oh yes, I forgot. This super market is yours" Iris said when she saw Abell there. He then put the groceries that filled his hands into the bed.
"Iris??, , "Abell looked at her with a question mark what else when she saw Iris putting her groceries in a basket with Aileen.
"You know each other?"
"Yes!, , he's my friend. When did you get back from London, brother?"
"Yesterday morning, , you two?, , shopping this much?" Abell probed into the groceries that filled the basket.
"You're having a party!!?"
"Yes tomorrow Aileen's birthday. You guys introduce each other?, , come eat eat huh Brother. Let's rame!" Iris continued to speak as if she was the one who had the event later that night, until she dared to invite a stranger to Aileen.
"Iris!!" Aileen whispered while nudging the woman using her elbow.
"What??, , take it easy, Brother Abell is a good person" Iris whispered again.
"Can you??, , 'cause I'm so flattered. Then I'll pay all these bills" Abell pulled Aileen's car and took her to the cashier.
"No need, I can pay for it"
"Take this as my guilt-redeemer for making your leg hurt" Abell took the basket to the cashier.
"Waahh, , you are really very good Brother. Then I'll add this!" Iris like not to miss aji mumpung. He happily then picked up some other snacks.
While Aileen looks uncomfortable, she is worried that David will find out that another man will be celebrating her birthday.
"Wait!!, , but isn't it that he can't see the birthday cake??, , he definitely won't come"
Iris looks busy with her phone like she's typing a message for someone. And sure enough he sent a short message to David. Telling the man that tomorrow is Aileen's birthday.
♡♡♡
On the other hand David was traveling out of town, there was work to be taken care of there for a few days. And as long as he was out of town, David could not imagine how he would go through a few days without seeing Aileen's smile, how heavy it was to harbor longing for Aileen.
A few hours of not meeting Aileen alone was already like a day for him.
The man snorted in annoyance, very upset because right now he already missed the woman.
David who sat in the back seat looks just silent and dreamy. Enjoying the feeling of longing that has been getting bigger every second.
Dreeet!!!
David glanced at his phone, he even wore Aileen's face as wallpaper there.
"Tomorrow Aileen's birthday, won't Big Brother come to see her either??, , there will be a party for her tonight, eat dinner together"
David was silent, he could not imagine himself when he saw the cake next year. But with this busyness he can make it as an excuse. He also replied to Iris's message.
"Do whatever you want, make Aileen happy tonight. Sorry I can't come. I'm on my way out of town. Maybe after tomorrow we're home"
David was silent again, he kept his phone in his pocket. The man was seen immersing his body in the recline of the chair and then closed his eyes.
♡♡♡
"By heart!, , I'll be here tonight" Abell helps Aileen put all her groceries in the trunk.
Iris was seen probing at her phone when she got a short message reply from her sister.
He complained later.
"Sister David is on his way out of town!, , I'm more sure he won't be coming tonight"
"Why are you sad??, , I am also ordinary, there are still you and this Koyoko!" Aileen shut her car.
"Right as well, it's a good thing I took Brother Abell. Let's get more tonight!" Iris turned on the machine. Then drive the car slowly.
While Aileen was speechless, there was a slight sense of disappointment in her heart. But he realized that David could not celebrate.
