Heart Thief

Quarrelling

...****************...

Arriving at home, Rein immediately cooked Abian's favorite food. The woman tried to persuade the child.

"Bi .. an." Rein called Abian in a seductive tone. His hand held a plate containing the boy's favorite spaghetti. Abian only glanced once, then his gaze refocused on watching television.

"Look, deh. Masakin's brother you're spaghetti. Delicious, loh," persuaded Rein while sitting beside Abian.

Abian's nose sniffed. The smell of food that came out made his stomach hungry. She loves the spaghetti that Rein cooks. He said it tastes so good.

"I'm not hungry."

Rein gawked at Abian's refusal. Usually the child will immediately welcome the spaghetti that Rein has made even though the child has eaten before. This time he was really sad. Has his mission been successful to make Abian not depend on him anymore?

"If you don't want to, make it!" Out of nowhere, Aska immediately snatched the plate containing spaghetti from Rein's hand. The man sat next to Abian who was still empty, then devoured the spaghetti casually.

"Why are you eating, Om? That's, right, mine?" abian protested while glaring at Aska.

"He is not hungry. How, anyway?"

"It doesn't mean you don't want to, does it?" Abian grabbed his plate, and locked it in his lap. Aska who did not accept tried to take the plate back. Like a child, Aska was fighting over food with her own niece. Rein giggled at that.

"The spaghetti is eating. If you want, ask to make another with your aunt, sana!" Finally, Aska won. His large hand managed to grab the plate.

Hearing the word 'tante' that came from Aska's mouth, Rein slightly gaped. Whatdoes thatmean? Does he expect their marriage to continue forever? Until Abian's call to him should be revised as well?

"Sir Rein."

"Aante!" Aska destitute call Abian. "Call that! Otherwise, your pocket money is cut," he added threateningly, without taking his eyes off the television in front. And still casually devour the spaghetti without interruption.

The frown on Rein's forehead was becoming more and more clearly visible. Aska's words really surprised him. What's wrong with that guy? Was yesterday on duty, his brain hit by a bullet?

"Kok, what, Om? Usually also call 'brother'," Abian protested.

"From now on!" aska's orders are without dispute.

"Yes, yes." Abian snorted, then turned to Rein again. "Tante, make me spaghetti again!"

"What a gesture, dong!" aska hatch. Though he was also not polite when he seized the spaghetti belonging to Abian earlier.

"Tante, please make me some more spaghetti, yeah!" errat Abian with a softer tone. Rein did not listen. He was still busy reading the strange gurgle of Aska. Up to one pat in the hand from Abian, making him instantly aware.

"Eh, yes, dear. Why!"

"Please make me spaghetti again!" Abian repeated his words. Rein would be happy to hear that. He gets ready, then rushes to the kitchen to make some new spaghetti for Abian.

...****************...

The next day, after duty Aska hurried to go home. He did not allow Rein to leave Abian again to Asti. Aska actually already knew the ulterior motive of the wife. Wanting to get Abian closer to Asti, she left.

"Tumben's coming home?" rein asked when it was late afternoon Aska already had a house. The woman was watching a television show in the living room.

"Why indeed? You don't like me being home often, do you? So you can find your girlfriend?" exclaim Aska. He was firmly insinuating about Daren.

"Originally you know, yes. The friendship between a man and a woman is usually not sincere. One of them must be expecting more than just a friend."

"Sokay know!" the great-grandson of Rein, as he poked his lips in disbelief, "me and Daren are like sodara, Mas" he added.

Aska let out a rough sigh because his wife did not want to hear. It felt like he wanted to pull his wife's body into the room. Express his jealousy in the way he wants.

"Om, teach me to do PR, dong! There's something I don't understand, right." Abian's arrival brought their debate to a halt. Aska turned to Abian who came while carrying a textbook.

"Your aunt's name is. Om want to take a shower first," declined Aska.

"No, ah. It wants the same thing."

Rein and Aska both frowned. Abian's reluctance to interact with Rein is becoming more visible. The boy often refused if Rein tried to get close to him.

Rein got up from his seat and walked over to Abian. He became increasingly strange with Abian's attitude, even with Aska's attitude lately. The attitude of the two made Rein's heart so unsettled. Abian who often avoids, and Aska who often invites him to fight.

"Why? Usually you like being helped by Aunt Rein." Aska looked at Abian confused. Abian was silent, he lowered his head.

"You're still angry with brother because he likes to be signed with Aunt Asti?" tanya Rein rubbed gently the top of Abian's head. In contrast to Abian who according to call him 'tante', instead of feeling happy, Rein was hesitant. He was not used to the call. Several times Aska rebuked him, even got angry too. However, Rein did not want to bully him.

"Don't get your own PR." Instead of answering Rein's question, Abian instead returned to her room with a gloomy look after brusquely brushing Rein's hand. Rein took a deep breath, then took it out slowly. He should be happy, because Abian is getting used to it without him.

Another with Aska. The man looked at Rein with a different look. Both hands he folds in front of his chest. Feeling upset that Rein still refuses to be called a aunt by her nephew.

"Why are you, anyway?"

Rein gasped to hear Aska suddenly ask. His head turned to the origin of the voice.

"What?" ask Rein confusedly. There was no wind no rain, suddenly the man asked in a defiant tone.

"Bian has called you aunt, but you keep calling yourself sister. Whatdoyouwant? Bian is my nephew. As my wife, it's appropriate that you be called aunty with her." Again, I protested about it. Rein just kept silent.

"This is the guy why, anyway? It's just a matter of calling from yesterday. We will soon be divorced too. So, what is the importance of a call to Bian, "inner Rein.

"Why silence? Is that how heavy you're called Auntie Bian?" added Aska again, with the tone getting higher.

"I, tuh, wonder at you, Mas. Since you came home from out of town. Your work every day continues. I also can't go anywhere, can't nitipin Abian same Asti. I can't keep seeing Daren and the orphanage. I feel constrained, you know, just like you. Did you forget our deal? We're not going to interfere in each other's affairs during this pretend marriage, are we?"

Aska does not accept when Rein says their marriage is just a pretend one. The man stepped forward to approach his wife. Without saying anything, he immediately pulled the nape of Rein's neck and fused their lips together.

Rein was surprised of course. As much as he tried to release himself. However, Aska's energy was so strong it gripped her body. Until Aska who first released their link and said, "our marriage is legal in the eyes of law and religion. Even I was willing to be sanctioned when registering our marriage. If you dare say this marriage is just pretend again. I wouldn't hesitate to do more than this."
