The night greeted. Alex feels his body is better, especially the moodboster is always in front of the eyes and throw a smile every time passing by in this house. This time, as requested earlier this afternoon, Resty and Alex were both sitting in the dining room. While eating dinner, eyang Asih opened a casual conversation with the two of them.
"You don't have to be so awkward, I already know everything from Saleh."
Eyang Asih claimed that he knew the real identity of Alex from Saleh. Alex cannot be angry with Saleh. Like the saying to be well-established how to keep the carcass, sooner or later the secret will surely be smelled too.
"I'm sorry, Buk, for lying to you all this time" Alex said later.
"Hey, don't call me again. Just call it eyang, so it's more comfortable talking." said eyang Asih.
And Alex could only nod obediently. There is nothing wrong with obeying the will of a good woman like Eyang Asih, although it actually feels it will still be awkward for Alex to change his call.
Eyang Asih is still always reviewing his warm smile in front of the two lovebirds. After hearing firsthand the trouble that befell Alex from Saleh, he forgave her before the man said it just now. His sense of empathy is so high to anyone, making the old woman even more affectionate to Alex.
The figure of a young man who wants to work hard despite having to go down the caste to be a maid in this house, is enough to be a good point for Eyang Asih. Judging the man as a steadfast young man and being able to take responsibility with the problems he was facing at the moment.
Resty also smiles happily after seeing his eyes willing to forgive Alex's lies without much drama. The girl was now able to breathe a sigh of relief, embedded with deep words of gratitude for being surrounded by good people around her.
"There's only one thing you're not honest with me." she continued. Alternately, Asih stared more intensely at Alex and Resty.
"What is your relationship with Resty?" tanyanya direct.
Alex was stunned for a moment, and so was Resty. Highlight the eyes of the two giving each other codes will answer how to eyang Asih. It is also impossible to admit that they are dating and just made this afternoon.
"Honestly, don't worry about each other. Everyone knows from Saleh about your closeness."
But Saleh did not say that. It was purely as a lure so that both of them would be open to the eyes Asih.
"Sir Saleh said anything, Buk?" ask Alex to be curious.
"Call me again. Eyang that." hardiknya, feel anxious to Alex who still keceplosan call her mother.
"Eh, yes. Eyang." Alex is starting to feel guilty.
"You guys dating?" keka eyang sekhenya and according to his instincts only. Knowing holding hands, who does not guess if the two have more relationships.
Alex and Resty both flinch. But not with the movement of their legs under the table that kicked each other small. Both of them feel the dilemma, afraid that the eye will prohibit the relationship that has been established between them.
"Ehem!"
Eyang Asih deliberately cleared his throat. Their silence further convinced his mind of the existence of something from the two human children.
"Yes already. Maybe you guys still don't want to tell me. But I hope you confess. It is impossible for your law to. There will be no penalty for love."
Once again Resty and Alex were made to gasp with eyes that apparently could also say poetic at the end of his sentence.
"Already, let's continue eating it." he said again. Then they enjoyed their dinner quietly.
Soon they were done with their eating. Seeing the eyes that rushed to clean some of his own dirty dishes, Resty was only aware that there was no sound Ayu in the room.
"Where is it, Eyang?" tanyanya, while helping to arrange the dirty dishes.
"Before Maghrib was Ayu pamit go home. Said his mother misses."
"Ooh..." Resty was just ooh, but his eyes glanced at Alex again.
Suddenly the girl suspected herself, if Ayu came home suddenly like this because she was embarrassed by the thing earlier.
"Tumben is not happy. There's usually anything Ayu always talks to me." Alex spoke up.
"Maybe there's no time. It's been prevented anyway, because it wants the night too. But his Ayu still insists on going home right now." clearly eyang.
"Sunday." They are brief and clear.
Then the old woman went to the kitchen to put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher. Followed by Resty and Alex who both follow behind him.
"Let me wash, Eyang."
Alex immediately handled the tasks that Ayu usually handled. Previously the man had indeed often shared the task with Ayu. And that's why the man looks good at washing all the dirty dishes that have been used.
Eyang Asih just let the man do his will. Moreover, a man who wants to help relieve homework in his view is very cool. Because not all men in this village are willing to do homework that has been mandated as a female task only.
"Let's make a deal." said Asih, on the sidelines watching Alex rinse the dirty dishes.
"Because Ayu permits a week off, it means that Ayu's duty is easy for two for you. If you have time, you will help. But the rest of them are with you. How's it?"
"Ready." Alex responded straight.
He who is a little adept at sweeping or washing dirty dishes like this, certainly does not mind if you have to do the task as long as Ayu does not exist.
"But I don't want to do the cooking part. I can't cook, Eyang." Resty immediately suggested, for the sake of not being part of the cooking task that the girl was not so good at cooking.
"That problem can be learned through social media, right?"
Resty pursed his lips, a sign of not so agreeing with his eye proposal.
After that, Eyang Asih left. Leaving Resty and Alex alone in that place. After believing that his eyes had stretched far, Resty slowly approached and stood right beside Alex who had finished washing his dirty dishes. The man immediately turned his body to face each other with Resty.
"Why?" alex asked, after seeing the beauty of the look of the girl.
"I can't cook." she said slowly.
"Boiled noodle cooking can't either?"
"If that can be."
"Yes already. Cook what you can. No bother, right?"
Resty gets more and more manyun after hearing Alex's opinion which he thinks is not a good solution.
"Well, do you want me to cook you boiled noodles every day?" angry protests.
But the man chuckled in anxiety.
"Try this in the city, of course every day I order online only. Ribet beud, ck!"
"Hey, it's not good to cluck like that. So it looks like you mind the same eye-to-eye task." Instantly Alex stamped Resty's cheek.
Resty. If he had a mother, it would have been a long time ago that girl could learn to cook with her mother. Until it does not feel the net is a little condense, feeling empty to have to live without the affection of a mother.
"Darling, are you crying?" Alex watches Resty's teary eyes.
Hearing the man call her affectionately, Resty became more mellow. Her tears were dripping unstoppably, between the happy mix of being filled by the man's attention to her.
Slowly Alex carried the girl's body in his warm embrace. And Resty welcomed him by wrapping his hands around Alex's waist so tightly. The man was still thinking hard, about the main cause of why the girl had mewek without cause.
Unbeknownst to them, the position of those who were hugging it had come to a man whom Alex had to fight for the girl, if he wanted to achieve the blessing from her.
