"Here drink!"
Briel offered a cup of warm chocolate to Gea. Gea looked at Briel. There was much doubt in Gea's bead when Briel looked back at him.
"Calm down! I don't mix the drink with other ingredients. There's no benefit to me."
Briel knew that negative thoughts were starting to haunt Gea's mind. He convinces Gea to drink the chocolate. In the past, he had seen his mother drink warm chocolate when her mood was not good. Tere said, that cup of warm chocolate can restore his mood. Briel thrust the cup again.
With little doubt left, Gea accepted the cup of hot chocolate and sipped it little by little. The warm chocolate tasted good when the brown liquid entered Gea's throat.
"Unless I mix your drink with stimulant drugs."
Gea chokes. He spouted the chocolate he had been drinking. His eyes were round, staring intently at Briel. And strangely the one who was stared at even laughed. Gea wouldn't if he had to do "that thing" that way. He really– is not ready.
"I'm kidding. Drink again while it's warm, then let's talk!" said Briel who tried to suppress his laughter. Gea's shock made Gea's face look so cute in her eyes.
Briel's soft, unyielding speech made her subside. He still lifted his regretful gaze even though he was still relieved.
"Hmm" muttered Gea Ketus.
Briel stared at Gea, who drank her warm chocolate. It turns out he can find his pleasure. Quite simple. Just by upsetting this woman nearby.
"Why?"
A question word came out of Briel's mouth after a while he tried to keep it from coming out.
"Why what?"
Without diverting his chocolate-drinking activities, Gea answered the question with a question. He knew what Briel meant, only he refused to answer.
"Without asking you already know what I mean!"
Gea breathed a heavy sigh. The sighing was heard in Briel's sense of hearing. Briel felt, there was a heavy thing that this woman before him was going through.
"Well, don't answer if you're not ready!"
Briel doesn't want to force people who won't tell stories.
"No! I'll answer because you asked!"
"At least there are sharing friends, rather than me being crazy for harboring this alone."
Usually Gea will share with Hendri, the person he already considers as an older brother figure for him. And at the moment, Hendri is not with him.
"Tell me!"
Briel waited for Gea to tell her story. Gea put down the cup. He leaned his back against the back of the sofa. Too much crying, making it hard to cry today. He looked straight in any direction.
"Today, I was betrayed by a man I loved so much."
Ge smiled wryly as he recalled that painful thing.
"He married a woman I knew very well. They were married before my eyes, even in the day and place where I should have married my lover who had now turned into a bitter memory!"
The grievances of sadness and anger were clearly visible on his face. Who is not sad, not angry, not disappointed not even sick when betrayed by a loved one with all their heart?
"And I'm really, really devastated, to the point of getting hit by a car I don't know."
Briel still listened to Gea speak, letting Gea reveal everything that Gea felt.
Gea turned to look at Briel. "Emm .. Thank you for saving me. Maybe now I'm dead if you don't come on time. I was really– not aware if I crossed and I did not see that there was a car that was speeding," said Gea sincerely.
Gea remembered the words of her late mother in the dream. He must live and he must be happy. Maybe this is what the dead mean.
"Enough, that's all I'm telling you," Gea's inner. He still refuses to reveal his family life with others.
Briel reviewed the smile. "Sama–sama. I'm sorry I accused you of committing suicide because of me. Because just now when the marriage procession was over, you cried again," replied Briel honestly. He was looking at what happened earlier.
"Isn't he? I didn't feel so bad?" kilah Gea's. He was too embarrassed to admit it.
"No need to give it up, I saw it!"
Gea clucked in annoyance. "Don't remind me of that!" Gea's face is completely bent. Briel laughed out loud–bahak. Gea's lips are perfectly pursed.
"Alright– fine is up to you. Clearly, from what I see you are indeed crying."
Briel tried to suppress her laughter to stop. Gea kamit moved his lips in annoyance.
"Briel!"
Gea looked at Briel not understanding. "Why did this man extend his hand? "
Briel moved his head so that Gea would shake his hand immediately, but Gea could not understand. "God don't understand that, too?"
"You didn't tell me!"
Briel breathed a heavy sigh.
"Alright, here. Let's start from the beginning. We met first because we did not know. We mentioned each other's names, " explains Briel. Gea nodded, he did not mind either.
Briel stretched out her hand. "Gabriel Abraham Johandrian, call him Briel."
Gea welcomed the hand. "Gea Agatha, Gea."
"We start our story from here. I won't make a deal– ridiculous agreement in marriage. And again, as I promise, I will never let you go until any time because you have asked for it."
Gea nodded steadily. "I agree. But I'm sorry, I haven't been able to open my heart to you ...."
Briel smiled faintly. He understood Gea's current situation. Who will be easy to trust again when true love is betrayed? I need medicine to cure it. Not just any quality medicine.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we respect each other."
Briel believes that a relationship can remain intact and strong if two different people respect and understand each other. Right no? Living together only with love, if there is no word to appreciate it will separate too right? The proof in this era many couples who easily say the word separate.
"alright. Deal?!"
"Deal!"
They had agreed to live the married life as they should, without a patent agreement, but there was actually an implied agreement that they were unaware of. The covenant is, to open up to each other and to respect each other.
Crutches
"Good belly, why can't you be conditioned? I'm ashamed, "Gea shut her eyes. He smiled awkwardly.
"Your stomach is a concert. Come with me!"
Briel went and went into the kitchen. Gea followed Briel behind her. Briel wishes there was food they could find. Briel opened the freezer. However, he did not find any ingredients they could eat. Briel found only a packet of instant noodles she had long left in the apartment.
"Gosh, expiry!" geruntu Briel's. For more than two years he did not visit his apartment. Maybe it was only his man who was in charge of cleaning his apartment. That's only once a week.
"Good, apartments can be fancy. But food is not there" Gea said.
Briel turned her body. "I forgot to fill it back up. I just arrived in this country last night."
Gea is just beroh ria.
"All right, we order food online.What do you want to eat?"
"What aja, Bang, that's important satiety."
"Eh, why are you calling me 'bang'? Am I your brother?!"
Briel doesn't want to be called a 'branch'. According to him the call is like a consumer calling brother–abang cilok or the other.
"Lha keep how dong? He said we started from the beginning. And I started by calling you 'branch' because I knew that we were quite far away" Gea said plainly.
"It's up to you. I'm too hungry to argue."
Finally Briel relented, while Gea smiled triumphantly. Briel ordered grilled chicken as their dinner menu.
🍂
An hour later, the food arrived. Gea ate his food. He really– really hungry because from noon he has not eaten.
"Good God my stomach is full!" gea said while holding her stomach filled with satiety.
How not to be full? Gea ate two servings at once out of the three servings that Briel ordered. Actually Briel will only order two servings. But due to Gea's request, Briel finally ordered three servings. Briel shook her head in disbelief when she found out that the portion of the woman in front of her was extraordinary. Gea's slender body makes Briel look down on Gea.
"eeha? "
Gea was shocked when there was a shirt covering her upper body. She still wears a wedding dress. The dress is open at the top. He looked at Briel questioningly.
"Just wear it, let it not get cold."
Gea nodded then reviewed her sweet smile. Yeahh, actually the sadness is still there, but he tried to brush off the feeling.
For a long time they both remained silent to each other. No one starts to talk. Until Briel's little deheman's voice melted the atmosphere.
"From now on, you should stay with me here."
Gea nodded, no rejection from him. Following a husband is part of his duty as a wife.
"But I'm going to pick up my new item– tomorrow first, Bang, in the contract."
"I'm dropping in!"
"But Bang—"
"I'm dropping! There is no objection!"
"Ck ... sucks!" gea gumam.
"Hey! I heard!"
"It's good to hear!" gea said as she glanced at Briel.
Briel rolled her eyes lazily. "Haih this turns out to be married to a woman who is quite distant age. It was like facing a child! " the guide in the heart.
He saw Gea crying before. However, at this time he had seen Gea's behavior which turned out to be quite rebellious.
"Bas with the little boy!" mummy Briel lirih. Gea chose to pretend that she didn't listen, even though she actually heard.
