Bagas sounded an annoyed snort. He forgets that Dicky doesn't actually like Intan. Because all this time, for Dicky, Intan is the real plant.
"Forget it over that. Papa called you because he wanted to ask you for help. Please papa. Give the men you have to realize the existence of your mama. Because papa's worried, afraid he's making it out there."
"Why should I help her?"
"Because if your mama's acting up, it's not just papa who's gonna get in trouble. But you and your oma will also bear that burden. Because he's still a member of the Prasetya family."
Dicky snorted annoyedly at the explanation from his papa just now.
"alright. I'll help, but on one condition."
"What's? Justsaytheword. If papa can, then papa will follow."
"Tell me what's the reason you've been defending me lately! Because before, papa never did that to me. Even when my mom betrothed me to a distant relative. Papa still agrees."
Bagas did not answer directly. Because while listening to those words, he was instantly silent for a moment. Until Dicky had to understand to end the silence between them.
"If you want to know what the reason is, go back to the residence now. Papa will tell you all the reasons."
"alright. I'll be home right now."
"Yes. Dad, wait for you at home."
"Oh yeah, can you take Merlin home with you?"
"Looks not. I don't want him to know what's going on in our family. Because I don't want to see him burdened. He had just been able to get out of the trouble that had recently befallen him. So, I don't want to see him burdened anymore."
"Hm .. OK if so. If that's your decision, papa can take it. But, please take him for a walk later to our residence. Because he must know where and how our family is, right?"
"Yes, I know about that. There's a time I'll take him to the residence. But, after all our family problems are sorted out. Also after my mom doesn't act anymore. Because I don't want Merlin's heart to be hurt because of mama's attitude."
"Yes, papa knows. Yes already. Come soon."
"Hm .... "
After talking at length with his father over the phone, Dicky immediately disconnected his phone. At that moment, he only remembered that the person he was talking about was in front of him right now.
Dicky smiled uneasily as he looked at Merlin's face. Of course because right now, he got a sharp glare from the wife who was feeling very curious about the chatter that offended his name just now.
"Say! What's the matter? Eict... instead I want to interfere in your personal affairs, especially your family affairs. It's just, you just said my name when you talked to papa. I feel bad if I don't know why my name you carry around."
Dicky smiled at Merlin's innocent behavior. Merlin who looks so do not want to be said to interfere in Dicky's personal affairs, immediately explained his intentions without waiting for Dicky to speak.
"Absolutely afraid I said meddling on personal matters? Hm .. afraid, but want to know. How the hell?"
"Yes, yeah. You're always right, okay."
"Oh yeah, about me saying your name that's because papa asked you to come to the mansion today. But I can't take it. You see, there's something important I have to take care of outside. Later, we are just like taking a walk. Where do you like it going. Just tell me where you want the same driver. Because I'll leave him to accompany you for a walk just like Imah."
"Who wants to go for a walk? I'm not really."
"Udah. Because today I am also busy outside, so you should also be busy walking outside. Let's fair. As long as nothing's out there. It's no problem."
"Different? You mean how you fuckin?" asked Merlin confusedly.
How not to get confused? Dicky told him like a husband told his wife. Afraid of his wife messing around outside.
It's not wrong according to Merlin. Only, their relationship status is not a real wife like others run. A loving husband who is very happy. Just a little walk should be a lot of messages to remember the real status.
Dicky smiled again. He felt happy every time he saw the different expressions of Merlin. Somehow, Merlin's presence was able to make him feel the warmth of also forgetting the sad past he had passed yesterday.
"That's it. Just walk. Just follow what I say. As long as it's good for you, so .. I don't think there's any harm, do you?"
"Hm .. It's getting weird now. I hope there's no problem with your brain, Dic."
"Eh! What did you just say, hm? What did you say?" dicky asked looking at Merlin with a sharp look.
"Nothing." Merlin said as he returned the sharp look Dicky showed. Now, Merlin did not feel afraid anymore with that gaze. Merlin instead felt pleased with the sharp gaze that seemed to be very friendly to him.
"Say or .... " Dicky hangs his words. He got up from sitting down and got ready to get out of his place.
"Oh don't-don't. I'll tell you. You sit back young master. I'll say, okay."
"Just say it before I change my mind."
"You're too handsome today."
In a flash, those words could just slide out of Merlin's mouth. Without Merlin being able to prevent or hold. Nor did he realize why he could say those words.
Hygiene ....
The atmosphere at the dining table was suddenly silent for a moment. Dicky's gaze was fixed right on Merlin's lowered face, regretting what he had just said without him noticing.
"Merlin .. What did you say? Can I listen to it one more time?" dicky asked with a hopeful face.
For some reason, he could feel his heart beating uncharacteristically just because of that unintentional compliment. His heart suddenly felt a fragrance so spread. A flower tub that just blooms in the morning.
