“See, ‘kan? What did I say? We should have let the man help him. I'd like to waste money on a stubborn old man like this.”

“Ya, already. Let's just leave him here. Anyway, he could try to die again.” I held Theo's hand, then took him out of the cabin.

“Hey, where are you going?” it's coming from behind us.

I don't rub it anymore. Just-there's. I don't need a thank you, but at least don't scold the man who saved his life. What's so good about dying that? Stiffly lying in the bush accompanied only by a panicked dog. You stupid old grandpa.

We should be happy today. After lunch, I planned to watch together while eating pizza and drinking orange juice. Then dinner and watch again. Sitting on the terrace, hearing the sound of the forest at night is also pleasant. Because of Grandpa, everything's gone.

“Well of a strange year.” The movie was just over, but none of us wanted to rise up to replace it with another movie.

“You are expecting something special.” I elbowed his chest. “Just upload your prayer answered.”

“Lo, yes, very happy to see I'm hard.” He pinched my nose with a puff.

A knock on the door interrupted us. Did we not hear wrong? Theo and I exchanged looks. There was a louder knock, a sign that someone was behind the door. Bizarrely. We don't know anyone around here.

Theo stood up to open the door, while I sat down. “What are you doing here?” asked Theo in a dislike tone.

“I told you, you must take responsibility.” An old man pushed Theo aside so he could enter. The dog caught up with the tail moving quickly.

I immediately stood up to see his impolite arrival. “Grandfather, your cabin is not here. If you don't go, we'll call the police.”

“I'm hungry. Smells good.” He looked around him. Her eyes were fixed on the pizza box on the table. “Ah, there's pizza! Can?” He looked at me and Theo.

I crossed my hands in front of my chest, not liking her attitude. After he entered without permission, he asked before plucking the pizza? Did I not hear wrong? I turned towards Theo, he shook his head slowly.

“Do not be stingy. I'll order another box for you. The owner of the most delicious pizza in the city is my good acquaintance.” He sat down on the chair and took the box. “Ah, great. You guys bought pizza from the restaurant. It's the best pizza around here.”

Theo closed the door and again stood by my side. We don't know what to do with this old man. Being rude, even though he is an unhealthy parent. Be nice, he'll be even more insolent. What stranger comes to people's homes and asks for food?

“Because you are not healthy, drink water only.” I put a glass of water on the table.

“Ah, thank you. I do need it.” He immediately picked up the glass and gulped down its contents with thirst. “What's up? Why are you guys quiet? Please continue your activities. I won't interfere.”

I could only swallow watching him finish all the pizza he shared with his dog. Theo just nodded slowly, then stood up and changed the next movie for us to watch. The man also watched it with us.

“How is this?” I asked, seeing the old man fall asleep with an empty pizza box on his chest.

“How else? I don't want to get him into his cabin.” He stood up, cleaned the big box, and took it to the kitchen.

“Why don't you just call our bodyguard?” many wonder.

“I don't want anyone to know their presence. After all, their job is to look after us, not to take care of an unknown stranger,” said, reminding me of my mistakes.

I sighed softly, before standing up and walking into the room. I took a blanket from the closet, then brought it to the front room. Theo had laid the man on the sofa we were sitting on. He definitely didn't want to trouble me, so he moved it himself.

We brought food to the terrace so as not to disturb the old man and his dog. The spaghetti was already warmed, but we had to spend it quickly before it got cold. Stomach full, we sat close together while covering the body with a blanket.

The more the night, the more crowded the forest with the sound of various types of animals. Thankfully, there was no sound indicating the rain was coming. I hugged Theo's waist, brought our bodies closer together. I smiled as he kissed my hair.

“Nah, it's new Theoku.” I lifted my head and smiled at him. He looked over, then glanced at my lips. Understanding what he was going to do, I closed my eyes. He kissed me so softly. All the sounds suddenly disappeared, replaced by the loud thumping of my heart.

“And you know, how hard I have refrained from carrying you to bed now,” whispered. “The old grandfather's presence is of no use as well.”

“We can fast doing this until we officially become husband and wife,” godaku.

“Better I crossed the line, but I am responsible than can not be close to lo again.” He tightened his embrace. “Gue don't want to lose lo again.”

“Why are you so melancholy?” I rubbed his back. “I'm not going anywhere.”

“Gue won't want to stay alone when old like that grandpa. When we parted, the report from Daisy greatly comforted me. Knowing you're okay, gives me the spirit of life. Moreover, you do not establish a relationship with anyone.

“If you were to fall in love with another and forget me, I would definitely be alone forever like that grandfather. So, this is our last chance. I don't want to go home just to be your girlfriend. I want to be lo.”'s husband

“What is your marriage with her already prepared?” Since he was discussing it, then I asked him a question that until now he had not answered.

“Gue will only marry lo.”

I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes, I was lying in bed. The weather was cold, making me lazy to wake up. But seeing that Theo was not by my side, I sat down and looked for him. He wasn't lying on the floor, then where did he sleep?

I cleaned myself in the bathroom before I left the room. I remember there was a stubborn old geezer sleeping in this cottage with us. I don't want anyone to see me when I wake up in the morning.

As soon as I opened the door, a pleasant aroma of cooking entered my smell. My stomach reacted with a protest asking to be filled. I was surprised to see Theo sitting with the old grandfather near the kitchen counter. They turned towards me as I approached.

“Pagi. Morning,” greet them simultaneously.

I just watched them get familiar in an instant. “What are you doing just staying there? Quickly come here, later the part lo ludes eaten by this old man.”

“What happened?” my question does not understand.

“There are people who do not understand your language. If you want to expel me, just say it frankly,” said the old man.

“I object you are here.” It was my turn and the compact Theo said it.

“OK, but I won't go.” He licked his fingers. “You are smart cooking.”

I don't believe what we're going through. We were supposed to be on vacation alone, but for a week in the cabin, it was as long as it was the old grandfather we didn't know his name was with us. He did not return to his cottage, nor did he complain of sleeping on the sofa.

My birthday that I was supposed to have with Theo, we had to celebrate with him. I who was ready with my request can only resign to postpone making out with my own boyfriend. Where we sat, he came. Only while sleeping did he not enter the room. We don't dare to kiss or cuddle, worried about being tempted to cross the line.

On the last day, we said goodbye to each other. The old man smiled with satisfaction as he returned to his cabin with his loyal dog. She prayed well for our relationship and life ahead, but I cried as soon as we were on our way home.

“Lo is wrong. I told you, let the manager take care of him,” said Theo, adding vinegar to my wounded heart.

We have never failed on vacation or sightseeing. This is our worst holiday. All my plans were ruined because of the presence of the old grandfather we did not know. I ended up just staying quiet until we arrived in our city so as not to fight with Theo.

As if our vacation had not been ruined enough, the little lady was standing in front of the apartment building when we arrived. He looked at the car with an annoyed face as if he knew we were going home at this hour. I asked the driver to stop. I don't want to hide anymore.

I got out of the car and walked over, but he passed me and stepped towards Theo. I looked at him in disbelief. What does she want from my boyfriend?
