The warm and soft vanilla-flavored lips of Kanya are still attached to my lips. If I don't know the place, I want to continue that intoxicating kiss. However, I have to stop him before Hanung or Sinta catch us. It's okay if the two of them, I'm more worried if Abi is watching us kissing in the kitchen.


“Let's just if anyone sees, most also Hanung,” my comment while brushing the rip-root of Kanya's hair that obstructs the view. “Beautiful,” I said again while pulling both ends of my lips.


My reaction made Kanya's cheeks turn red. A moment that somehow makes me always like it when I see it. Kanya's met face made her look even more beautiful in my eyes. I always wanted to kiss her again and again every time I saw her blush.


“They must have suspected that we were late in the kitchen, Mas.”


“Leave it alone, those who disturb. Though tonight I was planning to ask you out, but Hanung messed things up. Look ahead if he still bothers us a lot,” I said annoyed. In order to follow Hanung's request, I was willing to cancel the reservation at the restaurant I booked earlier this afternoon.


He smiled in response to my statement. He lowered my hand from the cupboard and pushed my body slowly to escape my confinement. Then arrange the plate on the dining table and take the spoon and fork from the same place after sliding my body.


“I didn't know that Mas Araz could eat the same Mas Hanung. I thought you guys were always a winner.”


“Yes not, especially Hanung tuh often ngeselin. Anyway yes, I am not a person who does not have feelings Kanya.”


The woman laughed while arranging the spoons and forks. “I'm not saying that Mas Araz has no feelings, Mas. Yes ‘kkan aja you guys compact forever and ever. I put this forward first ya.”


I smiled in response to Kanya's statement. After the woman left, I refocused on the frying pan that I had left because I was tempted by the presence of the woman. For some reason, the scent of the woman always managed to tempt me to embrace her.


If it continues like this, I may go crazy.


“Why lo?” hanung's question spread slovenly thoughts filled my head. “Think of perverting for sure. After doing a good job, huh lo? Inget son of people have not lo halalin. Don't macem-macem lo!”


“Elah Nung, do not believe very much lo the same I.”


“Gue believe in the same lo, but I do not believe in the same demon.”


“Busyet dah, emang satan can be as easy as that seduhan me?”


“Banget, the proof is that you woke up your pet,” said Hanung while pointing with his chin down my stomach.


Damnit damnit! My reaction was more honest than my mouth. Damn, I'm dealing with Hanung. The man laughed when he saw me misbehaving and groaning.


“Sialan lo emang, Nyet.”


“Mean next time held tuh lust, let not be easily seduced by the devil,” kelekar Hanung while bringing the side dish that I just poured into the serving plate into the living room.


Damn it, people!

Hanung and Sinta and Abi just returned from Kanya's apartment when the clock showed at 11:00 p.m. The boy had been sleeping since 08:00 p.m., but his parents were still busy talking to Kanya about anything. While I was busy in the kitchen with churros batter for the sake of obeying the wishes of the host along with two unselfish guests. It was only at 09:00 pm that I joined the three people who turned out to be playing snake stairs until the clock showed at 11:00 and they say goodbye home.


“Malem will be back to hotel ‘kan lo?” hanung asked as I drove him to the front door.


“Iya, I help Kanya clean up first just back hotel.”


After being discharged from the hospital a few days ago, I decided to stay in a hotel owned by one of Eomma's cousins. Because you sold the apartment without my consent. The man also wrote my resignation letter to La Fammes. Of course with compulsion when asking for my autograph. They wish I could go back to Bandung.


Ah, the matter of the LF, they deeply regretted my sudden resignation. I was planning to quit the fashion magazine industry. I with Hanung want to build our own company which is certainly not far from the world of journalism. But before we could take a step to set the course, Dad arbitrarily pushed me back from the LF.


We were fighting again. Dad forced me to go back to Bandung, but I insisted on staying in Jakarta. How could he have asked me to return to their arms, if he had acted so casually on the life I was living? I won't be that easy to follow their request. I still have so many dreams that I haven't been able to realize. And I want to make it happen with Arez. Kanya Happy.


Be eomma ask Cha Tae-sik ahjussi to temporarily support me until I get a new apartment. Even so, I still pay half the rent for a suite room that is not cheap. However, I do not want to trouble Uncle Cha Tae-sik who has given up one of his suite rooms I occupied for half the price.


“Awas lo nginep here.” Hanung's voice brought me back to the real world.


“Heh, I protect you from the temptations the devil knows. There are people whose attention is like mine. Same lo this. No one feels at home long ago lo if not me. You should be thanking me, Monkey,” Hanung said at length while occasionally fixing Abi's sling.


“Iya, yes, thanks Mas Hanung, already ingetin me, my same attention, have wanted to be my friend also all this time, trus.”.


“Udah, already, do not let you call all. Amused me horrified him. Not only moved even make people want nabok aja. Where the hell is Sinta? Don't you see it's a really good night?”


We talked for a long time in front of the door of Kanya's apartment. While Sinta is somehow still busy doing what with the owner of the house. Alu never knew if their relationship turned out to be so close like an old friend. Even at one moment I often saw Sinta showing her feelings like to her own sister. Though he is not so with Hanung's sister even though both girls. Kanya also looked spoiled at my friend's wife. Well, maybe Kanya's character is also what makes other people always want to love her. Abi was also very familiar with the woman.


“You I call,” my bargain to Hanung. Pity also saw the distress carrying Abi.


“Iya deh, I'm asking for help. Fatty carrying Abi from earlier.”


“Sori Babe, I taught Kanya small tricks to protect herself from wolf attacks,” Sinta said suddenly while looking at me full of probing. A faint smile spread across his face.


“Sial, you think I'm a wolf? About dong Buk, I can not do it carelessly,” I said staring cynically at Sinta. The woman just laughed while patting me on the shoulder.


“Yes, believe me the same lo, but I don't believe in the same demon. Yes, we go back first. Take care of Kanya, do not mess with her,” threatened Sinta before they actually leave Kanya's apartment.


No husband, no wife, both stolen from me. Very compact. Do I look like a hungry wolf that can prey on Kanya at any time? Even the words they spoke could be exactly the same as they had been promised. Yes, they do believe in me, but they don't believe in a demon that can obviously tempt me. Huftt.


“They're back?” ask Kanya as soon as I get into the apartment. The woman was seen lying weakly on the living room chair. His face looks pale. Though it still looks fine when I drive Hanung to the door.


“Iya. Why are you, sick?” I was worried as I held the woman's forehead. No fever, but it's cold at the end of my finger.


Instead of answering, Kanya closed her eyes. Like holding back pain. But I don't know which part makes that woman uncomfortable. Only, occasionally I wipe away the sweat that soaked his forehead.


“Do I need to get something?”


“Neventless. I'm fine, Mas. This is normal, later also say by yourself.”


“Why you?”


There's no answer. Kanya chose to curl up on the sofa and ignore the question I just asked. I was sitting on the carpet next to where Kanya lay.


“ Him, do we need to go to the hospital?” my question again actually makes Kanya look at me not like. Even so, his mouth remained locked. “You look like you're in a lot of pain. Me...”


“Mas plis, I'm fine. Could you please shut up, don't talk to me,” Kanya said cynically in the end. He even sounds so angry.


“But..”.


“Gue just want to sleep!”


Kanya's clash really signals if she's upset. Enough to make me stupefied and only able to stare at him without daring to protest. Even to say goodbye, I don't know where to start.


Did I make a mistake without realizing it? Seems not. As dinner continued on the snake ladder game we laughed a lot. We even exchanged kisses. Then, what's wrong? Ahh.. It feels very annoying to know your boyfriend is angry for no reason and makes the feeling even more uncomfortable.


While Kanya's breathing gets smoother. Indicates that the woman has fallen asleep.


When I intended to move Kanya's body into the room, I realized that she was hugging a glass bottle of warm water in her sleep. I often see some of my female friends doing it to ease the pain of the moon.


So this is what makes you so sensitive?


Unconsciously I smiled. It turns out Kanya is scarier than anyone I've ever known on the moon. All right, I'll take a good note of the other side of the woman. Really, he should be better honest than hiding that important fact from me. Does he think I don't know about his world?


I kissed Kanya's forehead before taking her to bed.
