JANUARY AND MAHENDRA

30. Who is a Regretful Man?

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ ´ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

A different morning for a Nathan when he woke up from his sleep, he seemed to still be in a daze with his current existence.

His eyes narrowed slightly for a moment by the slight sunlight entering this room with the help of the wind that shook the curtain.

Cold, why this morning feels so cold when this room does not use AC or fan, the sunlight out there also seems to be shining so bright.

His chest ached as he moved to take a sitting position. Nathan doesn't know why his heart beats faster than usual. Every time he awoke from his sleep, he now had to endure the tightness.

Nathan squeezed his chest more and more, he bit his lower lip to just disguise the pain. As the feeling grew, Nathan got out of his bed and rushed to reach for his sling bag looking for painkillers he had gotten from the doctor the last time he did control.

The man immediately swallowed the medicine that only 3 tablets remained. After a few seconds Nathan was able to breathe a sigh of relief as the pain began to camouflage. He rested with his back on the side of the bed.

His gaze then found Mahendra who was still asleep using only a singlet and a plaid blanket wrapped around his right leg. Nathan chuckled, did Mahendra not feel the slightest chill? Though he still felt the cold that now enveloped his body.

Nathan then moved out of the room after wearing a knit cardigan that was draped in a chair. The man walked towards the kitchen.

"Cantry?" Nathan said when he found Gantari who was struggling in Mahendra's kitchen. Not knowing what the girl was doing, Nathan walked up to her.

The girl who felt called then turned her head back, her hands waving not forgetting the smile she was emitting.

"Wake Nat up?" Ask the girl stale. Nathan just smiled as he poured water into the glass and then sipped it.

"Why so?" Nathan asked when he finished drinking a glass of clear water in the toilet, then the man stood right beside Gantari to see what exactly was done by him.

"It's the rice holies again, because the faucets in the house died again in fact the same father"

Nathan said, "why did he die?"

"Kesumpat kayaknya, kan kembangya here also a little exit. Ordinary Nat, understand the water faucet has long been so yes it must be in benerin"

Nathan nodded.

"Where is mahira?" Nathan asked, Gantari just smiled.

"There at home I'm cooking to help grandma," said Gantari, "there Nat kalo kangen mah".

"Hehehe" Nathan grinned as he scratched his non-itchy nape.

"But why don't I go to your house? I don't know your grandmother yet."  Nathan's a little clumsy.

"No papa," in short.

"The word bang Mahen Your grandmother is fierce, isn't it?"

Gantari nodded, "not only the same Mahendra doang kok, so do not be afraid as long as you are handsome and calm mah not going to be in galakin as well."

Hearing Gantari's statement, Nathan giggled, "yes I've been to Mahira first yes"

Gantari nodded while watching how Nathan got out of the house still wearing a cardigan that he thought was expensive. Yes, the rich are always different. In any case Nathan will still look stylish.

"Where's Nathan going?" Mahendra asked who had been behind Gantari since when.

Gantari screamed in shock, her breath held.

"GODDESS!!!" The girl who was still looking at Nathan was the shortest and diverted her eyes while stroking her own chest and then looking at the nayalang towards Mahendra.

Mahendra's eyebrows just swooped in, the question that had not been answered.

"Lo can not if dateng not ngagetin!" His hand spontaneously slapped Mahendra's shoulder, the man just screeched.

"What am I doing?" He asked innocently, Mahendra even scratched his head, the habit of this man when he woke up.

Gantari momentarily glued to Mahendra's messy face, his hoarse voice made Gantari several times swallow his saliva.

The girl did not even blink her eyes.

"God! Even dumbstruck" said Mahendra still with his heavy voice.

Gantari realized then tried to eliminate the thoughts - thoughts that now just crossed in his brain. Instead of him getting washed away better to continue the activity of washing rice that had not been resolved.

"Yes lo anywayan anyway talking suddenly, try once using the cue first so as not to make people surprised!"

"How is Gantari, you are so strange. If you want to talk about the permit first"

"I don't mean, look at things first." Gantari then looked up, she shook her head feeling that there would be no end to arguing with Mahendra when it was just trivial.

Mahendra smiled, slightly closing his body

"Yes..."  Call Mahendra a little voice over.

Gantari had a little goosebumps, Mahendra had really driven her crazy. The man approached and placed his chin on Gantari's shoulder.

"Gue laper really, from semalem has not eaten" the man fought with a gaze that is still fixed on the activity of Gantari washing rice.

"It's you move aside first, I'm so hard"

"What the hell, people are done too. Lagian lo nyuci rice already kek nyuci sampe clothes in kucek so"

Gantari sighed a little carelessly after turning off the tap of water that flowed just that little bit. The girl then turned to Mahendra who was still laying her chin making her lips slightly pursed. How adorable.

Mahendra smiled slightly when he saw Gantari's face was now very close to him. "Gan, you want some fried rice"

The girl followed her smile, then her hands outstretched the mane of Mahendra's hair which somehow quickly elongated, "yes, but move aside first"

"Kiss first" Mahendra's pinta with his eyes closed.

"No" the girl turned her face away, but was quickly held back by Mahendra's hand cupping his cheek until his face again looked at Mahendra who was still closed.

Feeling rejected, Mahendra immediately tilted his head to grab Gantari's slightly open lips. The man kissed him to make Gantari swerve.

"Lo's a real pervert Mahendra!"

Mahendra just smiled to see Gantari who was filled with anger, but not with the girl's cheeks had turned red indicating that she had blushed. Mahendra raised his head away from the face of his girl who was almost like a tomato, very adorable. He passed to the bathroom leaving Gantari who is now condemning Mahendra's behavior.

"Gue finished the shower had to be Gan." The man walked over smiling.

The next morning was really indaaahhh.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

After completing activities that are rarely done Mahendra, well bathing in the morning is an activity that almost never done. Unless he has a morning class, obviously Mahendra would not want to have to take a shower and must first combine with Gantari just because of the problem of water faucets.

Mahendra walked out wearing only black color pants, he deliberately did not wear a shirt so that Gantari was more fascinated with his athletic body.

But when he returned to the kitchen, he found no one. Gantari is gone. Mahendra dropped his shoulders losing his spirit. He then patted his stomach that had been printed there are 6 boxes. Mahendra dongkol, then he chose to take the shirt and wear it.

Mahendra left the house and chose to go to Gantari's house because there was a crowded sound in the house.

"For Om" Mahendra said when he found his entire family including Nathan and Mahira who were eating breakfast.

Denish smiled then let Mahendra sit down to join.

After a few minutes, Gantari came from the kitchen while placing a portion of fried rice right in front of Mahendra.

"Thank you" Mahendra told Gantari, who was sitting right next to him.

Gantari only responded with a smile.

"Aren't you having breakfast?" Mahendra asked in a soft tone to Gantari in between his mouthfuls.

"Udah was" replied the girl. He now prefers to watch Mahendra chewing. Gantari also did not know why watching Mahendra who was eating made him chuckle, even though the man ate in the usual style and where is the funny place?. Do not know now Mahendra has become funny in the eyes of Gantari.

"Gan, later I want to look at your Mom" Denish suddenly made a voice while looking at his daughter who had turned her face to look at Denish.

"I thought you were there yesterday" replied the girl.

"Yes yesterday was a new time here, but I wanted to go there again"

"Fantry the cementine yes"

"No, I can take a taxi by myself" Denish refused, he just did not want to bother his daughter even more at home while there is a friend of his, explained Denish did not want to disturb his daughter's moment.

"I'm anther, Om" Mahendra offered, "all ask permission from the camer, hehehe"

Gantari frowned listening to Mahendra's shocking statement, did she say that? Camer?.

Wait a minute, Mahendra wants to take me to wear what? The motors? But Gantari also wanted to visit his Mamah, because he had counted 4 months he did not see him.

"What cake?" Ask Gantari.

"That's Nathan's car in front of you" Mahendra briefly casually fed back his fried rice.

Nathan just nodded and smiled as if agreeing to Mahendra's offer, after all he did not plan to go anywhere.

"Aren't you going anywhere, Nat?" Ask Gantari.

"I look after the house just like Mahira, all of you help him settle the file for college" responded Nathan, he glanced briefly at Mahira who was beside him.

Gantari then nodded.

For quite a long time they talked, and quite a lot also became the subject of conversation that occurred in the dining room.

Denish also felt lucky to see his daughter who did not look lonely anymore, the laughter made by Mahendra really made his heart shed and shady. His daughter laughed again, even Denish forgot the last time she saw her daughter laughing in front of him. Because Denish more often see an upset Gantari than a laughing Gantari.

In fact, if you remember Gantari often complained about the presence of Mahendra that made the girl want to tear down her grandmother's house. But Denish just chuckles at it, yeah what else Denish can do if they're in a different place, willing to give solusipun it would be in vain because Gantari is not that easy to listen to the advice of others.

Relieved, seeing the princess just happy. Mahendra is also a good man if seen directly, although sometimes reckless as often told by Gantari.

They were ready to leave immediately for the tomb where Mamahnya Gantari was buried.

"Mahira, report it later if Nathan says anything about you." Mahendra's message to Mahira was full of fuss.

Mahira just smiled then nodded,

"What a Bang!" Nathan endured the overwhelming embarrassment.

"Make it, don't be weird. Tired break! No need to be fussy." Mahendra stared at Nathan, for some reason for how many times he was worried about his sister's health.

"Yes"

In short, Mahendra, Gantari and Denish begin to leave the courtyard, leaving only Nathan and Mahira alone.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

Nathan and Mahira are both in the same room in Gantari's guest room. Nathan is still busy tidying up the files brought back by Mahira. The man was too focused on rechecking all his girl's files.

"Mahira, your deed wasn't brought?" Nathan asked as he turned over the papers on the desk looking for Mahira's birth certificate but he did not find it. The man turned to look at Mahira who was folding her clothes and then put them in the closet.

"Take it" Mahira walks over to Nathan, and opens the file for another package book and hands it to Nathan. The man just nodded.

"Do you know what you want to study?"

Mahira nodded, "Photography".

Nathan looked directly at Mahira who was still standing next to him, "Why take Photography instead of you wanting to be a teacher?"

"Yes, but that was before. Now Mahira wants to be a photographer so she can help Nathan".

Nathan chuckled, "help me not to be a photographer nor Mahira, you can be a teacher also help me too"

Mahira's forehead is linked, "help what? It has nothing to do with it"

"There"

"What?"

"Gajarin our children" Nathan briefed while smiling ignorantly.

Mahira clearly immediately widened to hear Nathan's speech that came out of the topic of his conversation.

The girl was silent looking at Nathan who was also looking at him so deeply, "Mas Nathan, why would Mahira want to be like Mas anyway? Mahira has a lot of lack. Mahira is also not a child of the family. Father same mother just ordinary labor"

"There's no reason not to like you, Mahira. Everything I need is in you. You want to ever let me down from a bike when I first got off the same Mahen?"

Nathan chuckled, "And it was a coincidence that made me fall in love for the first time. Not only did my body fall, but my heart fell with Mahira"

Mahira blushed, "When did Nathan become so poetic?"

"Since reading her romance book bang Mahen"

Clearly depicted 'ohalaahhh' on the face of Mahira, he had not trusted Nathan who could joke like that.

But in the end both of them were laughing. They laughed as if no one was in the room except Nathan and Mahira.

Nathan's outstretched hand grabbed Mahira's two hands then rubbed the back of the hand very gently, making Mahira instantly stunned.

"Mahira, do you want to promise me one thing?" Nathan asked, staring fixedly at Mahira who was waiting for the continuation of Nathan's question.

"Promise what?"

Nathan sighed as if he was gathering courage, but with a heavy heart he smiled, "If something happens someday, I want you to live your life as you do. Achieve all the things that you've been talking about for a long time, you know I'll always support whatever it is."

A sweet smile emanated from Mahira's face, wasn't the promise made by Nathan so easy to live? Even if something happens, Mahira will still believe that Nathan will stay with her.

The girl nodded and began to reply to Nathan's mouthful that was still fixedly staring at her.

After agreeing to Nathan's words, the hands of the girl in the dress suit began to tidy up Nathan's jet-haired mane. He pulled the boy over with great painstakingness, as if he was remembering everything that was in that man.

"It's still cold, isn't it?" Mahira asked when she realized that Nathan was still wearing a thick knitting cardigan at noon, did this man not feel hot at all?.

Nathan just nodded then grabbed the cardigan he was wearing.

"Mas Nathan's sick?"

"No"

The hand that had been wiping Nathan's hair mane became distorted to hold the man's forehead. It's not hot, but why is Nathan still wearing his cardigans?.

Mahira was stunned as her body was restrained by Nathan who was still in a sitting position. This man grabbed her so tightly that he made Mahira astonished.

Nathan scrimps the side of Mahira's shirt, feeling tight all over her chest. His breath almost faltered, and preferred to hide his face on Mahira's waist. His heart now feels very painful along with the increasingly strengthened rematan.

Mahira frowned when she realized that there was something strange about Nathan, an unusual and very strong embrace to call a hug.

"Mass?" Call Mahira, but the man below her answers nothing.

"Mas Nathan??-" He called out to her once more, now that her hand was turning to let go of the embrace.

The man is now biting his lips like holding back pain, Nathan's hand is creeping his front shirt as if channeling his pain.

Mahira was clearly panicking looking at Nathan who was squealing in pain with a slight muzzle.

"Mass? Nathan, why?" The girl didn't even know what to do.

The girl's hand shook, as she saw Nathan was unconscious with his head resting on his stomach.

Mahira who was already in the fog and almost lost his mind immediately grabbed his phone lying on the nightstand, he began to contact Mahendra. Because the only person he could contact was that man.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

Just mid-way, Mahendra who is still focused on driving shifted his attention to staring at the phone that had vibrated earlier.

He stared at the caller's name clearly on his phone screen, Mahira. Mahendra sighed then glanced at Gantari who had also looked at him. The girl seemed to be waiting for the person who called Mahendra.

"Mahira" Mahendra told Gantari.

"Thank you, it's important"

"Suspected at anything with Nathan" the man chuckles, but after getting teplak by Gantari. It could be that the man was thinking a no-no to his own sister.

Mahendra picked up the phone while driving.

"Yes Mahira, why? Nathan why did you call gini?-" Mahendra asked along with the oddity when the phone was connected.

"Mas Nathan, -" Mahira cuts him off from across, "Mas Nathan fainted, Mas. Mahira doesn't know how".

Hearing that, Mahendra's eyes heated up there was a sense of tightness that directly grabbed his heart. He almost lost his focus, quickly turning off his phone.

Mahira's voice was clearly heard shaking in Mahendra's ears. The man turned his car around. He tries to stay focused and not panic.

Gantari who saw Mahendra's sudden movement turned the direction slightly frowned, "Why?"

"Nathan fainted"

Denish, who had noticed him, was worried, although he did not know exactly what was going on.

Gantari who was next to Mahendra earlier could only calm the man so as not to be rash, but it could not be denied Gantari was also worried about Nathan.

On his way home this man was not ceaselessly chanting prayers, he did not even know this prayer would be heard by his Lord or not, but at least Mahendra is trying to persuade his God as humans in general.

That scary thing won't happen again, will it? He had even thought of bad things that he should not have thought of.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

"If the regret comes from the beginning, then there is no such thing as life. The universe never lies about its happiness. And all men deserve to live happily".
