Good News Next Month

The ringing noise and the repetitive vibration of the cell phone over the bedside nightstand forced Dion to open his eyes. He looked briefly at the digital clock of the wall and read it. Dion clucked in annoyance because there was a person who dared to disturb his deep sleep in this blind morning.

It's Sunday, a holiday that many people use to laze around when they wake up in the morning. Just be careful if it is not important, he threatened in the heart. He first moved Lily's head from above his hand carefully. Then the man grabbed the cell phone and saw her astonished at the mother who called.

“Iya, Mi, what's up?” dion asked, answering the phone and resisting the annoyance and sleepiness that still ambushed. He changed the position of his body to sit. If only the phone wasn't from his parents, it would have been cursed at him.

“....”

“Prepared for what, Mi? It's a holiday, Dion has no important events or jobs.”

Lily who sensed her sense of hearing caught the sound immediately awake. He tried to open his eyes that felt heavy.

“....”

“Bali? What to do in Bali, Mi?”

“....”

“Honey month?” Dion glared in disbelief followed by the volume of his voice rising by two octaves. Mommy can decide for themselves about their honeymoon without discussing it first. “Mi, why is this sudden and not tell first?”

After the mother gave her answer, she immediately disconnected the call without wanting to hear Dion's protest. Dion stared at the screen of his phone while grumbling.

“What's up, Mas? Who's the honeymoon?” Lily who had just been in full consciousness asked. Just like Dion, Lily also felt lazy to move especially because of the battle last night that felt like her body was not boned.

Dion put his original phone to its original place. “We're going to Bali. So get ready,” said Dion lazily.

“Bali? Island nicknamed Pulai Dewata, right, Mas?” Lily's enthusiasm soon came out. Brightly enough, the tourist attraction is not only famous for its natural beauty and cultural uniqueness in Indonesia but also to the corners of the world.

Dion nodded lazily in response.

“Asyik, I'm going to Bali.” The girl was so excited like a child that Dion frowned. Just to Bali, that happy? Dion so remembered the story of Lily who had never gone anywhere when they used to take papi and mami to the airport.

But Dion thought of something. “Didn't you say last night that your body was crushed? We can cancel it if you feel bad.”

“Don't, Mas, don't cancel. I'm better now,” Lily's cheer. Lies. Where possible the crumbling body immediately recovered only overnight. As the girl's happiness loomed high, the pain in her body lost.

“You sure?”

“Very sure,” replied Lily excitedly. But the girl's face turned sad. It was as if he was thinking of something that felt heavy in his heart.

Dion saw the change and made him ask, “what is it? Why are you sad?”

“We went how long, Mas?”

“We're gone for only two days. Tomorrow also home.”

Lily was silent and seemed to be thinking hard. It was evident from the wrinkles on his forehead.

“If we were there, I would miss papa.” Of course the longing will come because it has never been far from Mr. Miko.

Dion can't assume that Lily is a spoiled child. Lily will definitely continue to remember her father, considering that only Mr. Miko is the only family she has so far.

“You don't have to worry. As long as we are there, we will sleep soundly so there will be no time to think of anything.”

Lily was unable to digest Dion's words well. The girl was trying to decipher what Dion had said just now.

Looking at the puzzled Lily, Dion spoke again, “we'll be in the room continuing to–” Dion lowered his vision to the lower half of Lily's body. Seen like that Lily felt bad, she covered herself by pulling the blanket. Negative thoughts out.

“For what?” the question is full of search with buying eyes.

Seeing Lily's response like that, Dion chuckled softly almost inaudibly. The man then took his cell phone again intending to make a call to someone. He called Mr. Miko.

After chatting about the news, Dion made his goal call.

“We will go to Bali for two days, Pa.” Dion deliberately hardens the speaker to be heard by Lily.

“Yes, you go. You guys also need time for both.”

Dion was stunned to hear the speech of papa who was not surprised or asked why they went there, even immediately gave permission.

“You guys have fun there. Oh yeah, tell Lily not to worry about Papa. Papa hopes that after you come home from there, Papa will hear good news next month,” continued Mr. Miko again in a friendly but hopeful voice.

“Ehm, yes, Pa.” Dion has no other answer.

While Lily, her cheeks were already heavily red. He was old enough to interpret the direction of his papa talk.

The journey that takes approximately two hours from the city of origin to Denpasar they have passed. Tour guides sent from the villa pick them up at the airport. Lily's radiant face enjoyed every sight her vision could reach as she headed towards the villa.

They have arrived at a luxurious villa with Balinese ethnic nuances with five-star facilities. When just passing through the door, Lily was so amazed when treated to infinity pool facing the free ocean that does not edge. Unknowingly he ran there to enjoy it more closely. From a distance seen the waves and surfers chasing in the blue sea there. And to his amazement, the swimming pool was built on a cliff.

“This is truly heaven,” murmured.

The girl's eyes were completely pampered with all the views. He had never found such a beauty. His mouth did not stop admiring the creation of God he was currently looking at.

Dion, the man let Lily pamper his eyes there. He asked the tour guide to go, because it is likely that this afternoon they will spend time in the villa. After the tour guide left, Dion approached Lily who was still amazed.

A phase? The man already knew his duty. Arriving at the villa a few minutes ago, he had already reported to mami. Afterwards Fasa chose to sit in the main room with a moody face. She might as well have approached Lily.

This isn't funny. Everywhere it's called a honeymoon, both of you. I've been like a pigeon here.

If only an assistant could rebel without any side effects, he had done since last night. Muffled phase. He lamented the relationship that was on the edge of the horn. The woman has not yet activated her phone.
