Just a Bond

Trying to Keep Avoiding

I was still sleepy and it was hard to open my eyes. However-

"Yes, Mas. Let me move Najwa to the room." I immediately got out of bed and sat up straight. Waking up all of a sudden, I felt so dizzy that I almost fell off the sofa. Luckily there was someone who suddenly supported my body.

My eyeballs are wide-eyed to see who that person is. “Aduh, sorry 'not intentionally.” I hurriedly pulled the body from Mas Farhan's embrace. Beside the clumsiness, the rest of the resentment towards him was still in his heart. “Thank you for helping.”

“You why suddenly wake up, anyway, Dek?” ask Mas Reza.

Move your head to the left and right for a while while massaging the small back of the neck. Obviously, I was dizzy because I had not slept well and suddenly had to wake up again.  “Nothing, Mas. Sleeping on the couch doesn't turn out well, neck hurts. I moved to room aja.”

“Only your husband will take you to the room.” I'm groping for a second.

“True says Mas Reza. Yes already here, Mas auxiliary.” Mas Farhan reached out his hand towards me. I was still speechless, staring at Mas Farhan's hands that had not been welcomed yet. I slowly exhaled. I occasionally put my face to see it. I am amazed at this husband. He forgot or what, huh? Even though I told you not to be pretentious to care about me, he even seemed to deliberately look for opportunities. Put on a show in front of Mas Reza again. Want to get attention?

“Come, he said he wanted to move to the room,” Mas Farhan's birthday.

“Eh, no need. I can do it myself.”

I hurriedly got up earlier was indeed intent on avoiding Mas Farhan. Yes, the time I accepted the offer. Mending pretended to sleep just now, right let it be carried to the room? My ego is still high. The regret of his plenipotentious actions made me not want to get close to him. I was really tired, wanting to rest myself.

I immediately stepped up to go to the room, and it turned out that Mas Farhan was following me. I looked up and stared pretty hard at him. “Mas what?”

“Yes want to meet you.”

“Let's ask for kerokin with Farhan, Dek. Let your pain be non-permanence,” chirped Mas Reza. I rounded my eyes at Mas Reza's ridiculous proposal. How can I not say it is ridiculous? All this time I never open myself—open the veil just yesterday because he asked, continue what will happen? It's awkward.

“I'm just a little dizzy, Mas. It will be better. No need to be dredged.”

“But Mas Reza has a point, dear. Come to the room, help kerokin deh.”

I want to throw my husband into the Antarctic sea. So, he was talking like that? He seems to be really amnesic. His attitude was not Mas Farhan at all knew. Different, really even.

Looking at Weny who had just come out of her room walking hand in hand with Wildan, I immediately said, “OK. I'd like to get dredged, but same with Weny.”

My sister who was busy talking all the way to the front room with her husband then stopped, and turned to me. The expression on his face clearly showed confusion. Especially when there was a frown on his forehead, and his gaze looked rather empty. It's like my brother's in a daze.

“Why, Ma'am?” tanyakanya.

“Where are you going? How neat?” ask me when I realize the appearance of Weny and Wildan who like going on a trip.

“Lo, I told you this morning that I'm going home now, right, Ma'am? It's me same Mas Wildan already wants to go home.” He pointed his backpack at me. “Why, Ma'am? Oh, aye. What did Mbak say?”

“Nothing, Wen. If you want to go home, please do. Let Mas who ngerokin mbakmu,” by Mas Farhan. My husband is a stone once it turns out. He was obviously rejected, still forced. I snorted loudly.

“Yes if you want to go home. Careful. Ma'am ask help Mas Reza aja.”

I've moved on to approach Mas Reza. However, Mas Farhan suddenly pulled my arm.

My head feels more pain not clinging. Mas Farhan really sucks. What want? Why does he seem to be unwilling for my body to be seen by others. He was my own brother, Lo.

“Ya is up. The point is I don't want to be dredged with Mas Farhan. Wen, you dizzy. Ask kerokin to help, yes.” Anyway I have to find an alternative to avoid physical contact with Mas Farhan.

Weny opened the oral. “Ta-but, Mbak—”

Interrupting his words, I immediately pulled the hand of my youngest brother. I looked at Wildan. “Wil, Ma'am borrow your wife daft, huh? Bentar, just a moment. Don't wear it for long."

Without waiting for an answer from Weny's husband, I immediately led her into the room. I don't know what the three men will think of me now. I don't give a shit.

Once in the room, I immediately undressed and lay on my stomach in bed, then asked Weny to scoop her back thoroughly up to the neck.

“Mbak Najwa why, anyway? How do you not want to be dredged with Mas Farhan? Mas Farhan seems jealous of Mas Reza, lo, Mbak.”

This is Weny's intention to make me dizzy too?

I took a breath for a moment. “Dek, Ma'am again dizzy. Please, don't discuss Mas Farhan.”

Weny chuckled as she kept poking at my back. Sometimes I squirm because of the pain and tingling due to the scraping. “So early in the morning very romantic with Mas Farhan, now sulking. Wh why? Mas Farhan do not want to give rations, yes?”

Jesus, Weny. I slightly turned around and gently hit my sister's arm. What sucks, Weny even laughed out loud. Think I'm ondel-ondel what? What's so funny try? Not knowing it is so sensitive anymore.

“N anyway don't origin, yes, Dek.”

“Nothing times, Ma'am. We are both adults too. Anyway I said gini tuh because from my observation, Mas Farhan is really jealous with Mas Reza.”

I paused for a moment, thinking about the possibility that Weny had said. Come to think of it, Mas Farhan's behavior indicated that he was jealous. Why is he jealous? Think I'm not his wife, let alone fall in love? Jealousy means someone is falling in love, right?

“Mbak Najwa.” I jumped as Weny patted my arm slowly.

“Eh, what, Dek?”

“Udah all nih. Mama even daydreamed. I want to go home, Mas Wildan angry again if I stay here later.”

I quickly put on a shirt, then sat back on the couch. “Still, yes, Deck. Right there, if you want to go home. Careful, yeah. Congratulations to Wildan, thank you and sorry for kidnapping you.” I giggled, and my sister responded with a thumbs-up and a sweet smile. He also came out of my room.

After Weny completely left the room, I immediately laid down my body on the bed. Do not forget to wear a blanket because suddenly feel cold, even though the weather is hot. Duh, don't let me be really sick. Alright. This time I have to really sleep, so as not to drop.

***

I don't know when I slept, and I don't know how long I've been asleep, I slowly open my eyes when I hear the sound of the voices of the children around me.

Don't forget to leave a trace, yeah. Thank ye.
