If Love Could Choose

What an exhausting day.

Finally. tahlilan event completed. Yunia, sitting on a carpet held in the living room with her legs stretched out. After everything was finished, it just felt, his legs were tired because most of the day he often paced around looking and picking up something asked by the mothers who helped the event tahlilan. Yunia sat down while pounding her thighs slowly.

"Racid?" Ask Vishnu who just entered after sitting on the porch of the house with his uncle and the neighboring fathers near the house. Yunia simply nodded not answering anything while her hand still continued to lash her thighs.

"Here..." Vishnu said while sitting in front of Yunia in a sideways position. The foot of Yunia, and placed on her own thigh. Vishnu started massaging Yunia's legs slowly.

"Enak...?" Ask Vishnu again.

"He em." Yunia Mumbled. Feeling better, Yunia then positioned herself as comfortably as possible. Now he is leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.Like a Vishnu massage on his feet.

"Sir... will the chair be inserted now?" Ask Mr. Yono a moment later.

"Oh, yes.... Yun, let's move... Yun..." Call Vishnu. But Yunia had no reaction.

"Sleep..." Vishnu said after several times calling Yunia, but the called did not reply.

"Kecapean must be it, sir..." Comment from Yono.

"Yes, sir...." Vishnu Sahut. "Please put in the chair, sir. I moved my wife first..." Vishnu continued then while lifting Yunia's body in his arms.

"Good, sir..." Answer mr. Yono.

Finally, out of pity, Vishnu carried Yunia's body to be moved to the room. Then, Mr. Yono and his uncle began to return the guest chair that had been removed to the terrace of the house, because the living room was used for tahlilan events.

After moving Yunia, Vishnu immediately returned to the front room to help uncle and Mr. Yono tidy up the chairs. After that the men talked for a while, until the uncle said goodbye to go home.

"Not sleeping here, uncle?" Ask Vishnu at the same time mince words offer.

"No, ah. Later, if you guys are back uncle sleeps here. Well, now that you're here, uncle sleeps at home.. " Answer uncle with a meaningful smile. Vishnu so go along grimacing to see the uncle's smile. Finally, after the uncle moved away, Vishnu told Pak Yono to rest after previously telling him to make sure, if all the doors were locked properly.

"Me, come in first, sir..." He said to Yono. Pak Yono nodded inviting his master to rest first. Vishnu stepped towards the room. When passing in front of the mother's room, he saw, his mother was also lying on her bed. Not sure, whether the mother has slept or not, but Vishnu did not intend to disturb him. Today is a really exhausting day for everyone....

In the room, Vishnu looked at Yunia who was sound asleep with love. Yes, regardless of Yunia's status towards him now, that affection had indeed existed for a long time. It's just that now, in addition to her affection she must also learn to love him.

Slowly, Vishnu aligned his body beside Yunia. In his kiss Yunia's forehead gently closed her eyes, following her sleep by hugging her body.

🌼 🌼. 🌼

Yunia opened her eyes as a soft gust of wind blew over her face. As soon as the eyes opened, what he saw first was the face of Vishnu who was so close in front of his face. Sayup-sayup already heard the sound of recitation from the mosque in the distance. I'm going to dawn.

Slowly she moved her face backwards. At that moment he felt something heavy on his waist. Instinctively spontaneously he looked. Apparently he's been hugging Vishnu all night. At first he was about to wake up, finally he even looked at the face in front of him.

Handsomest.

Only one word that passes to describe the look of Vishnu's face. Before this, Yunia had never looked at Vishnu's face this close. In addition to not thinking to pay attention to it, also because it would be very embarrassing if caught paying attention to the face of the man who had been his adoptive brother. Now, the mumpung who had a sleeping face, Yunia was satisfied looking at him.

Part of his forehead was covered in mischievous dangling hair. Yunia wanted to pull out the hair, but Yunia was afraid that she would wake Vishnu. Then he saw the eye of Vishnu twitch faintly. Yunia immediately wondered ... what is Vishnu dreaming about today?

Today the plan, Yunia wants to help her aunt to clean all kinds of home furniture that was finished used for cooking yesterday. There are many dishes, spoons, cups and pots that must be ensured cleanliness, before re-entering the storage area. Not to mention other loan tools that must be returned immediately.

Yunia had finished praying and had started cleaning the utensils in the kitchen, as she passed through to the bathroom.

"You're awake, you're Yun." Reproofed mother

"Yes, Ma'am.Yunia slept fast last night, so you can get up early..." Yunia Sahut.

"Sholat?" Ask mother.

"Already, Mom..." Yunia again. The mother's lips then curved to form the letter O without sound.

"Yes, I want to get ready for shubuh-an first." Mother said as she continued her steps into the bathroom. Shortly thereafter, there was a sound of water falling from that direction. Yunia started to turn on the stove to attack the water.

"Your mother is awake, Yun?" Mother asked suddenly, as Yunia concocted tea and coffee in a glass. When looked at, he saw that his mother was rubbing her face with a towel.

"Yet, Mom..." Yunia Sahut.

"Immediately wake up. later he is late to pray the dawn..." Mother's orders. Yunia nodded. After the mother passed, Yunia finished her job of making drinks for her mother, Vishnu and Pak Yono. After that, he went to the room to wake Vishnu.

Long story....

All the tools that have been finished using the former salvation, have returned to the storage area. Loan items have also been returned. In essence, the situation returned as before the tahlilan event began.

"Ah, done...!" Yunia said while slamming her body on the long chair of the living room. He had just returned the apem prints from the house of Bu Suri, his neighbor who lived 5 houses apart from his house.

"Racid?" Ask your mom, who sat there first, watching TV.

"Motor..." Reply Yunia.

"Mom... Like I'm here, I'm going to my friend's house later in the afternoon..." Vishnu's words suddenly appeared from the inside.

"Which friend, my mom?" Ask Yunia.

"My friend from Junior High School, she lives in Kali Dowo..." Answer Vishnu.

"Yunia's not coming?" Mother is now asking. Spontaneously they both looked at each other. Yunia there was no thought to follow, and it seems Vishnu also did not think to invite him to meet his friend during Junior High.

"You want to come with Yun?" Ask Vishnu.

"No, Yunia wants to prepare the equipment for the PKL later..." Reply Yunia.

"Yes, that... Later if you need anything, by the way..." Vishnu said. Yunia nodded. Right now, he thought, sleep is the single most exciting activity to do... 😂
