Clandestine

Paris

Since the first

meet, I've been amazed by Marina's beauty. Woman yan is seven

years older than me it looks so graceful and charming even though it's been

have children. Especially about his expertise in processing various foods,

not only is he smart, but more than that. When I only think if

an egg can only be fried, it can even create many creations

from that food.

That woman

so happy to see me and Reinard at the airport. He hugged me

and Reinard took turns then threw many questions at Reinard who

of course related to me ‘is Julia comfortable on the plane?’ or ‘whether

Julia eats well on the plane?’ and many more questions that can not

i recall.

“We are enough

sleep and Julia are quite comfortable on the plane.” Reinard's law took over

Lily— Marina's little daughter who was just three years old from the hands of David, husband

The marina. A second later, I saw Reinard had kissed Lily's smudge cheek

lovingly. It seems that Reinard is indeed a very gentle father

if that's so.

“Thankful...”.

“You know,

that your brother has been so restless ever since waiting for you. Even we've been

been here more than an hour.” Papar David was accompanied by his speech.

Me and Reinard

laughingly. “Quiet, we will not stray.” Reinard throws his glances at

Marina—mockingly.

“Not that

I mean.” Marina's annoyed murmur that immediately got a warm embrace from the

Reinard.“I just don't want you waiting for us. Would pity if

long way to come, tired continue still waiting for the invitation.”

“Kan is still there

taxi.” Cecar Reinard later.

“Yes, you think

what do I have?!”

And debate

it ended when David said“Have it, let's go home soon because of me

hungry.”

 We walked away from the airport.

Because of spring, the city of Paris is so beautiful. Flowers are blooming with

the beauty and warm sunlight spread to all corners of the city.

I will not regret coming to this city and leaving behind a pile

cold work on my desk, because everything paid off with what

which I enjoy now.

Like what

mastered, Marina really entertained us with a super delicious dish.

One of the most famous hotels in the city loves Marina and

the woman was forced to resign when she married and even had children. Consequently

David who works as a police officer also gave up and allowed

Marina works though eventually has to sacrifice a little of her time to

guard Lily.

Reinard said

if Marina is an independent woman. It is not affected at all by

their wealth in Jakarta. Even the woman has absolutely no

one of the assets of the Saputra family is in his name. Because Marina is running,

when he was able to make money from his own sweat, he did not want to

take anything from his parents.

“Kalian

take a leave of absence how many days?” Marina asked me after we had dinner. Our

busy washing the dishes, Reinard and David are seen sitting back in

the front balcony playing with Lily.

“Perhaps around

two to three days.” I answered receiving a clean plate from Marina's hand

dried it.

“Thankful.

you can have your honeymoon here. Paris is the city of Julia, the love of her,

I'm sure your arrival here this time wasn't in vain. Enjoy this spring

with the man you love.” Marina turned towards Reinard.

I smiled

cryptically. To be honest, if I could, I would like to enjoy all of this. Make it

the most special honeymoon, carve out our relationship with something very special

effective in Paris. However, I'm not sure. Wherever we are, I and

Reinard was just a stranger who was only destined to share a blanket

together, not sharing love.

“Are you

happy with this wedding Jul?” marina's voice made me lift my chin.

The woman was looking at me, pausing our dishwashing.

“Ya...” Nug at me.

“I'm happy to have her.” I'm not completely lying. I am indeed happy

could have had that guy.

Marina sighed

breath relief. He washed the glass he was holding.

“Despite

Reinard was so cold and stiff-looking, believe me he was someone who

warm and good Jul. Maybe you are in a stage right now

adjust, but believe me that he is a real person

love you.”

I didn't

disembowel.

“Jaga she is yes.

She's my only sister I care about the most.” Marina chuckles. “I'm still

remember when we were kids, and when our parents were just thinking about work

without thinking about their children, I lived only with Reinard. Our

share stories together, even get lonely together.”

This time I

smilingly. Although I don't know how Reinard lived his childhood

in the past, but I can imagine that he is a handsome man since childhood and

of course smart.

“Jul...” call.

Marina.

“Iya.”

“I can ask for something

same you?” Marina handed me the last plate.

“What?”

“I asked for,

whatever happens in your relationship, never leave Reinard.

He loves you Jul, although he never conveys his feelings, but I can

see it from his eyes.”

I'm speechless.

Down more precisely. Look at the glint of the plate that reflects the shadow

my face from there.

Of love?

Really that guy

******

After the event

dinner, and a long conversation outside with Marina and David,

I was finally able to get into the room to take care of the clothes

suitcase in the closet. Reinard was busy calling in the attic. Not talking

with whom, but I'm sure if he's busy calling the nurse and

talk about his patients.

Finished

putting our clothes in the closet, I changed my nightgown immediately

break down. The Indonesia-Paris trip takes hours

plus all day I haven't rested making my body a little feverish. Good luck

I didn't have jetlag, so my condition wasn't too bad.

“Away with

sleep?” suddenly Reinard was already standing on the side of the mattress. Pulling the blanket away

put his body beside me.

I tilt

my body is facing him.

“Maybe because

tired, so my body is a little bad.” My heart makes a face

Reinard.

“You're sick

Jul?” he hurriedly held my forehead.

“No, Cuma—“

“Akh, this

fever.” I haven't finished my sentence, Reinard is up

he slept and walked open the door. “Wait here, I'll find medicine first.”

He said before his body disappeared behind the door.

I sighed

breath, then rest my body on the body of the mattress. Shortly thereafter, the man

now using pajamas stripes it has come carrying a glass of water

and a medicine. At first I felt bad if Marina or David saw

I'm not feeling well, I just don't want them to worry. But I was breathing

relieved when Reinard came alone without my sister-in-law.

“Quiet, David

and Marina is asleep.” Reinard can read my mind. He surrendered

a medicine and water to me that I can finally drink once

sips. As long as I took the medicine, Reinard sat on the edge of the bed with his eyes fixed

not get away from me.

“Should have been you

this afternoon rest for a while, no need to help Marina cook.” Reinards

put the glass on the nightstand. “Kan so fever like this.”

I smile.

“I'm fine Rei.” My solute.

“I don't want to

you're sick Julia.” The man reached out his hand and slipped my hair

behind my ears and then stroking my cheeks.

I wanted to

assuming that what Reinard did to me was common, however

of course my easily baper female soul came back turbulent. I really

can't be treated this sweetly when I'm not sure about my relationship with her.

“Rei.

if we sleep?” I shifted my body and drowned my head in

cushions. Even so, my eyes still followed Reinard's walking body

around the bed and lay down beside me. The smell of his body is distinctive

it was on my nose when it was next to me. I'm biting my lips.

As great as any man in holding himself back, surely will not be strong if every

the day is treated to this kind of sight.

“She said

sleep?” Reinard tilted towards me.

What else is it

with that guy. It was like he was deliberately teasing me. His sharp eyes

as if she was skinning a inch for a inch of my body that is now sheathed

quilt.

“Emm.

suddenly I'm not sleepy.” My solute.

I heard

Reinard chuckled, but I did not dare to look back at him. Now I'm

just lying stiff like a robot with eyes fixed straight to the

ceiling.

“Oh yes...”

Suddenly I remembered something. I need some pleasantries to blur awward

these.

“What?”

Now I'm

dare to face towards him.

“Some days

then you went to Bandung?” I suddenly remembered Arian's phone at that time. As

pleasantries, though I believe that Reinard did not go to Bandung.

“Bandung?” man

it frowned.

“Iya, two days

then. When you said you wanted an operation at the hospital. Arian call me, please,

keep saying that it seems to see you in the area of Braga.” I paused

my words for laughing. “Any-odd aja yes. But clearly you exist

operation.”

Reinard smiles.

“Yes, I think Arian just misviewed people.” He muttered while tidying up the blanket

in body. “Em..

Jul?”

“What?” me

looking down, staring at my body that already looked like a lemper because the blanket was closing right

get to the neck.

Frowsty

bangeeet. You know, I don't like to wear blankets.

“Engg.

coke. Very comfortable.” My grin. “He’em..banget.”.

“Yakin Jul?”

I'm nodding.

“Yakin!”

“OK. Me too

follow.” Suddenly Reinard pulled the edge of the blanket and then used it too

to cover his body.

“Awable as well

if I hug you.” He immediately hugged me and I could only

screaming in shock when his hands were already coiled around my stomach.

“Sst.

sleep.”whispers right next to my ears.

Be honest. This time

I can't squint.
