Grasping Taste

Confession and Hope

The long journey they will go through, Aruna is still silent in the car. Although there was no closeness between her and Mama Haesti still she felt anxious about the state of the woman.

"Love and Honey is indeed so strange." murmured Aruna inwardly, feeling her troubled heart when she felt no affection for the woman who had been a dozen years caring for her.

Aruna who kept pensive made him not realize if the Word just kept paying attention. The man was still feeling the same way, though several ultimatums to give him some distance had already been floated by the girl next to him

"His parents have made Aruna a well-grown girl. A girl who is firm and full of principles." The word monologued in his heart and continued to admire Aruna.

He did feel very funny about the incident last afternoon, even he began to feel ashamed of himself for not being able to control his jealousy. It turns out that the mature age does not necessarily make someone continue in a sane state.

The word again felt his bruised face in the jaw area. He just felt pain there.

"It hurts?" that soft voice made Sabda turn her head, then smile. The rare smile of the Word is for anyone.

"Ah she is still watching my circumstances." cried the Word inwardly. He's feeling happy.

"Little." answered the Word like describing his embarrassed but happy feelings at this moment.

Aruna was silent again. The question seemed to pause the silence between the thick of the night. Though the man wished there were other sentences coming out, like other attention sentences.

But, it turns out that his hope just vanished when he saw Aruna turning her eyes out the window again.

"A girl who is so challenging to get." The Word muttered again.

The man started playing music in his car audio. Silent path plus Silence both make the atmosphere feel quiet.

A song 'Know Me' fills the silence of their journey. Although Aruna looked indifferent, but the man still noticed the girl who kept turning her face away from him.

This is the last chance to get close to the girl who has already caught his attention. Aruna grasped her feelings so strongly that someone was difficult to read them.

"Run, are you cold?" tanya Sabda with both foreheads frowned, when she saw Aruna stroking her arms covered in a thin cloth.

"Slightly, Mas." replied Aruna without turning towards the Word. He was holding back the cold that almost made him shiver.

"Run.." call the Word once more.

"Yes." Aruna answered without looking.

"Try facing here!" word began to suspect that the girl was crying. For women, the word is easy to cry.

"Runa." call the Word while Aruna is still unmoved.

"Ciaittt..." Sabda brake his car suddenly to make the tiny body of Aruna pushed forward. Sabda was upset when there was no response from Aruna.

Suburbs to the house of Aruna is classified as a lonely path. In fact, the homes of residents who were far away from each other were passed. Now they are in a very quiet grace position.

"Runa... Why are you?" tanya Sabda panicked her hand touched the body that was shaking strongly. Then, Sabda moved her hand on Aruna's forehead which felt warm.

Aruna shivered, her hands hugging each other's own bodies very tightly. In fact, now both of his jaws are clenching so strongly with a groaning sound.

"In-ngin, Mas. "he said paused. He has trouble speaking.

Hearing him Sabda looked nervous, he was confused as to what he should do. There was no blanket, he immediately turned off the car's AC.

For a moment, he noticed Aruna who had nothing to change, the tall man immediately got out of the car walking around with his hands taking off the buttons of the shirt he was wearing.

Sabda looked down at the front door of the car near Aruna. His hand slid his shirt not so thick and was forced to hug Aruna's tiny body.

Deg

Aruna gasped in surprise as Sabda slightly twisted her tiny body and the big hand hugged her from behind.

"I'm sorry." The word sounded in Aruna's ear. Aruna was indeed far below her age, but the way she kept her pride made the man appreciate her so much.

Layahan Sabda shifted the tiny body to creep in and he sat next to Aruna with a position still hugging.

Not only does the Word feel a dilemma, but Aruna is more. The first time a man hugged her so tightly and her body crunched on the strapping body of the Word.

The feeling that makes Aruna more silenced, the sense of sin, guilt, comfort and it turns out that the body is able to warm his body. The lingering coldness subsided making Aruna slightly move her body so that Sabda stretched her embrace.

"Is it better?" the whisper of the Word made Aruna nod quickly. The man's breath felt warm at the tip of his head. But, Sabda had yet to stretch her embrace. The man was also unaware of the sense of comfort created.

"Have you eaten?" continued the Word then answered Aruna's head.

Aruna's feelings increased unruly. His body felt cold hot, besides being sick, it was because his heart was irregular.

Once again Aruna made a move, she was eager to let go of the sturdy arm that held her firmly, but her tongue felt faint. He was hypnotized by the circumstances.

"We'll find food first." Sabda took off his embrace, but still let his shirt cling to Aruna's body.

The car goes back without AC. Occasionally his sharp eyes glanced at Aruna, the man also looked for the closest feeding spot.

"I rarely use a car, so I don't always bring a change of clothes" Sabda said. Aruna just fell silent and nodded, she remembered the clothes she was carrying but all that was just one dress and a pair of pajamas. He also forgot his jacket.

It took ten minutes with a distance of about three kilometers they just found a merchant who was hanging out on the sidewalk.

Sabda then got down from his car with shirtless condition, his muscular body with maximum height posture immediately invited admiration of several pairs of eyes, especially women.

Once again the Word did not care, he then saw what the merchant who was selling with his wagon was. After that, meet Aruna who is still sitting in the car.

"Fried noodles, will you?" tanya Sabda who is still answered with a nod of Aruna.

"Oh yeah, I'm going to the shirt store across from maybe there's a jacket you can wear" Sabda said, pointing to a clothing store across the street.

"I'm coming, Mas!" pinta Aruna who feels sorry if alone in the car.

For a moment the Word thought, then looked around. Some young men who noticed his car since earlier made Sabda choose to agree with Aruna's request.

"Want me to carry?" goda Sabda who saw Aruna's weak body.

"Shame, Mas." replied Aruna then her face looks blushing making Sabda smile gleefully. Although this time the Word became a spectacle because of his condition without clothes, but his heart was happy. Ah, she returned to wishing on this girl who looked embarrassed with her.

"Mas Sabda just put on his shirt. I've been better." Aruna opened the shirt and Sabda put his shirt back on.

Although Aruna said it was better, her body still seemed shaky and pale. Aruna also still felt feverish, that made Sabda embrace Aruna's body. Word was afraid that Aruna would suddenly collapse.

"Come on." Sabda holding a cold hand Aruna approached the Javanese noodle trader who had since seen him with a gaze.

"Oh yes, my wife drinks her warm tea, sir. And one is iced orange." The Word deliberately amplified his voice so that some people who looked at him suspiciously no longer thought negatively.
