Bib bib bib!

A car horn managed to steal the attention of Tiara who was sitting on the veranda with Pak Tirta. The taxi stopped in front of the gate of their neighbor. Mr. Singgih who was cleaning the lawn in the yard also turned his eyes to the red car that stopped, just guessing it was a private car or an online taxi. When the car door opened, down came the man who was still complete with his work clothes but was worn just like that. He turned left and right to cross the road that was not too crowded.

"Bang Rama" said Tiara, standing in disbelief and gaping until she almost drooled.

Of course the call was not heard by the owner of the name because their distance was still too far for Rama to receive a voice that was just like a whisper. Rama smiled sincerely at Tiara and Pak Tirta who were still stunned at his very sudden arrival.

Deftly, Mr. Singgih opened the gate and greeted Rama very politely. Rama also smiled sincerely to accept Mr. Singgih's remarks that were really not made up or to look for face only.

"My grandson," called Mr. Tirta standing and stretching out his arms to welcome Rama's arrival.

Rama also rushed to embrace Mr. Tirta as sincerely as possible, then shook hands with respect and courtesy. He also sat next to Pak Tirta who patted his back slowly implying pride. While Tiara still stared half in disbelief because it was only about three hours ago Rama told his busyness, suddenly it had arrived before his eyes.

"Finally, you go home too" said Pak Tirta affectionately as he rubbed Rama's back.

"How could you not go home, Mother. Grandfather's granddaughter sulked asking to be consulted," always Rama made Pak Tirta shake his head.

Realizing he was involved in the conversation, Tiara realized and immediately looked annoyed at Rama who spoke the origin. Rama replied with a smile of victory.

"Flame. Who asked to be visited. Don't worry, Bang," Tiara didn't take it.

"Udah, Ra. There in. Ask Bi Darsi to make you a drink for your husband" ordered Mr. Tirta.

Tiara could not dodge and defend herself anymore. He nodded and immediately stood up.

"Eh you just made it, but the dose asked Bi Darsi. Do not be original or you will poison your husband, "reply Mr. Tirta.

"The beginning is half a teaspoon yes," Rama said, smiling meaningfully trying to remind Tiara of the tragedy of a cup of coffee that once shocked the earth.

Tiara grinned, then rattled her lips silently to mimic Rama's innuendo. Then he came in and carried out his grandfather's orders. After Tiara was lost from sight, Pak Tirta looked at Rama full of meaning.

"You're exactly with Nak Arif. It looks cold and squishy outside, but it's really attention. It seems that Tiara is very comfortable near you even though the attitude shown is opposite. Finally, I can calmly release the Tiara in Jakarta," Pak Tirta opened the conversation.

"Rama's not that good, Cake. Often Kok Rama fierce to Tiara and firm because sometimes very difficult to say, but sometimes also easy to understand and can be mature," said Rama.

"Yes Tiara sometimes must be digalakin because he likes to rebel. Hopefully you can be more patient to deal with it," Pak Tirta hoped to Rama.

"It's because Tiara's here. Grandpa said to go inside to rest yes," said Mr. Tirta.

"Good, Cake" said Rama and Tiara compact.

"Do I need help, cake?" tawar Rama's.

"No need. Just sit. Rest. Grandfather can be alone," argued Mr. Tirta subtly.

After Pak Tirta entered, Rama also sat docked beside Tiara who was still at home with his silence. Rama felt his mood better after seeing the cute face of his wife although greeted with a wry and gelut. The man poked Tiara's chin furiously making Tiara glance fiercely.

"Why is your brother here? He said he was busy" Tiara asked, itching her mouth to shut up.

"You kangen. So, I'm here" answered Rama staring at his spoiled wife.

"Ge-er really. Who is missing too? You may be the one missing," Tiara denied trying to deny herself.

"Yes. If I miss you, what do you want?" goda Rama makes the checkmate Tiara to be confused to answer how.

"Yes... Ng...nothing," said Tiara stammering could not help his nervousness.

"It means that it is kangen" said Rama concluded.

"No!" raw Tiara sanggaj.

"That's a shame don't dare look at me, does it?" usik Rama is teasing Tiara.

Tiara was caught off guard but kept trying to argue back. Hearing Rama's words, Tiara was challenged to glance at him lazily and pretended to be disinterested.

"Anything that misses me?" tanya Tiara tried to melt the stiffness within her.

"Yes" answered Rama briefly and firmly.

Tiara suddenly silenced not to think with her husband who no longer looking for an excuse. Rama's honesty made his heart melt perfectly. He can no longer deny or deny. Tiara lowered her head to hide her shame in her silence.

"Why is it so honest?" tiara protest did not dare to show her red face.

"There's no point in lying. I might lie to you but I can't with my feelings. For what is covered up, anyway we are husband and wife. Don't you want honesty? Why even doubt it?" sahut Rama does not stop like a train car.

"Current. Brother is very good at talking," said Tiara was at a loss for words.

"If I'm silent, how can you fall in love?" rama whispers in the ear of Tiara.

"Om-om is very dangerous. I better prepare a change of clothes and bath water for him than I will be eaten up by his ferocity" said Tiara pretending to mendrama.

He ran away without saying goodbye to his husband. Surely, it was the only way to keep the thump on his chest from getting caught by the cause's ears. While the perpetrator who made Tiara shy was just smiling anxiously while enjoying the coffee made by his wife who was much better than before.

Kangen still shy snail eh meow. Rama muttered only.
