31. Sweet

No matter who started, Marvin and Marinka are both exhausted because of their short struggle. And here they were, sharing a blanket on a slightly cloudy day. And hugged each other. After the conversation Marvin pulled Marinka into a room in Marinka's room.

Mr. Louis used to use it for rest if he was tired. Marinka used to use it often when she came to her papa's office, but since Marvin took over the company, the room was more neatly arranged with softer paint color changes. Given that one day Marinka will work here, Marvin decorates it more feminine.

" Marvin we have to get out of here, we've been leaving Leo and Catty too long ". Marinka said worriedly.

" Let them wait ". Marvin said casually as he rubbed Marinka's back.

" What if there's an officer looking for me and I'm not there? ".

" No, you think what's the point of Leo there. He's very reliable. He understands the situation without me explaining ". Marvin chuckles.

" God, how will I face Leo. I'm so ashamed ".

Marinka covered her face that met red made Marvin laugh.

" You're so funny, don't think of him ".

" You really don't know the place ". Marinka grumbled in annoyance.

" Clean yourself, we'll take a walk".

"really? But I don't keep clean clothes here ". His sparkling face instantly throttled.

" I've prepared it in there ". Marvin said, pointing to a small closet in the room.

" really? You've planned it out ".

" Of course, hurry up.. So that we can be satisfied the streets later ". Marvin said softly while kissing Marinka.

" Stay away Marvin. Don't start ". Said Marinka risi while pushing Marvin.

" Bath.... ".

**************

" Sit down, catty, don't go pacing in front of me. You're giving me a headache".

Leo was upset.

"Shut up Leo. You're so noisy".catty said no less upset.

" They've been inside for over two hours. I'm afraid Mr. Marvin is harming Miss Marinka ". Catty said as she squeezed her two cold hands sweating due to her worries.

While Leo just rolled his eyes lazy.

" I really want to hit your head. So that your head is not frozen. How old are you, actually? ".

" Why ask me about my age ? Are you a census officer? ". Catty's still pacing back and forth.

" Geez catty, are you stupid or what? It should be for your current age that you can think even further. You think if husband and wife fight then where will they end up? ". Said Leo annoyed to realize the stupidity of catty.

" the Religious Court ". Answer plain catty.

" Good God, you're ".

" Of course, my neighbors were fighting too, and they ended up getting divorced, and my other neighbor was even worse. Her husband ended up in prison while his wife in the hospital was dying. Do you know why? Because her husband stabbed her with a kitchen knife while they were fighting ". The catty speech at length put on a face of fear and shudder in horror. Makes Leo stare.

"God.. Why Marinka could choose you as her assistant ". Said Leo.

" Because I'm smart ". Answer catty proudly. Patting his chest.

" Are you really smart?considering our conversation a few seconds ago, I doubt you're that smart ". Leo said to him. Catty straightened her eyes.

" You don't underestimate me ".

That was the moment the door of the room opened. Featuring Marvin and Marinka in a fresh state like a shower. Coincidentally, time is also nearing the afternoon. Many employees have gone home.

Catty and Leo were surprised that their superiors were present in the middle of their debate.

" Lo I'm going out for a while with Marinka. You can take a taxi home ".

" good... ". Reply Leo briefly while looking down.

Marvin took Marinka's hand to follow her. Marinka can only be embarrassed. While Marvin was being stupid with Leo and Catty's eyes there.

After his boss disappears behind the elevator, Leo leaves. But before that he turned to talk to Catty.

"Now you know ? Where did their quarrel end? ". Leo asked, a serious face.

" In the bathroom ". Answer plain catty.

" God.. All right, I'll go free to talk to you ".

" hey, you're a fool, you saw for yourself they just took a shower. Of course after they finished arguing, taking a bath was one way of refreshing themselves and the mind". Catty said annoyedly.

" It's up to you ". Leo said then passed.

" False Leo man is weird ". Grouse catty.

*******

In the car only silence is created. Marinka just stared out the window. Occasionally Marvin glanced at him then smiled knot. He knew Marinka was holding back the embarrassment right now. Remembering their brief romance in Marinka's room earlier.

"Marinka's... ".

"hmmm....".

"You why? ".

" I'm okay ". He answered without looking at Marvin.

" Well, turn around, I'm talking to you ". Marvin tried to touch Marinka's shoulder.

" What's up, Marvin? ". Marinka grunts angrily as Marvin continues to disturb her.

" I'm embarrassed. Don't you know? It sucks ".

" Who are you ashamed of? ". Marvin was still chuckling.

" Clearly Leo and catty. Didn't you see their eyes on us? ".

" Don't think about them. We just think about our relationship. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone else ". Marvin spoke softly and then grabbed Marinka's hand to hold it without reducing his focus on the crowded street.

Marinka instantly warms up.

" Thank you Marvin ". Marinka said sincerely. Greeted by Marvin.

" Where are you going to take me? ". Ask Marvin.

" I don't know if it's up to you ".

" Do you mind if I take you to aunt's? ". Marvin asked carefully.

" Mm... Are Dania and David still there? ". Marinka.

" I don't know.. Even if they're still there I won't let them bother you ". Marvin said steady.

" all right.. I also miss my uncle and aunt ".

**********

Marvin's car is perfectly parked. He then took Marinka down and took her to enter his aunt's house.

" You guys are coming? I miss you both so much ". Aunt Hana welcomed him with great happiness.

" Yes aunt, how are you? ".

" I'm good, come in. I'll call the madam and the Lord ".

Marvin and Marinka follow Hana's aunt into the living room. It was unexpected that the two brothers were lazing there.

" Marvin's..... ". Dania screamed happily to see Marvin there and hugged him. Then Marvin quickly untied the hug.

" dania.. Watch attitude. I'm with my wife now ". Said Marvin still in a slow tone so as not to hurt Dania.

" What's the difference Marvin.. Didn't you meet other women out there, too. Why treat it differently ". Dania said.

" Of course you're different, Dania, you're not Arina ". Said David who was still sitting in the chair without feeling guilty. Marinka's face has changed.

" Shut your mouth, David ". Marvin said.

" why? Are you afraid your wife knows what you're doing out there? ". David continues to provoke.

" Marinka, if you want to know how your husband is, then don't hesitate to ask me. L'm.... Tau... Everything was..... ". David said with great emphasis.

" It seems I'm still too good for you to still let you be here. Do you want me to expel you from this country". Marvin's remarks were only responded to by David.

"Marvin, don't argue. There is no point ". Marinka said.

" Remember what I said a while ago Marinka. He only loves one name, not you or Dania but.. A. ri.. ". David said with great emphasis. Marvin wants to attack David. But Marinka stopped him.

Soon my uncle and aunt came down. It was a relief to Marinka's heart because she didn't have to hear the two big boys fighting.

" Have you forgotten your way home? You once told your mother this ". Aunt mouli said then hugged Marvin full of longing.

" Sorry aunt.. ". Marvin replied as he rubbed the middle-aged woman's back.

" You don't miss me? ".

" I miss you so much. But auntie knows I can't come here because there's your niece. It was Marinka who wanted to come here because she missed you ". Aunt mouli parsed the hug. He just realized Marinka was standing there looking down.

" Are you not eating right. Why are you so skinny ". Aunt mouli's words were still cynical, but for Marinka it was very pleasant because it was implied there care.

" I ate right aunty. Just a little tired ". Marinka tried to answer gently.

The conversation of the four men left David and Dania eliminated. Until making both of them look intently towards the newly arrived guest.

" dear.. Get them to eat. Do not be invited to talk. Look Marinka looks a little skinny ". Said Mr. Mike warmly.

" all right.. Alright.. I'll have dinner ready first. If you say you're coming then I'll cook you a really good meal ". Aunt mouli.

" All the aunt's cooking was so good ". Marvin said sincerely to make aunt mouli smile warmly.

*********

Marinka was still standing in front of the glass wall of her room. The same room he occupied before finally forcing him to move into Marvin's apartment.

" What are you thinking? ". Marvin came and hugged her from behind while resuscitating her chin one shoulder Marinka.

" There is no ". Answer Marinka.

" You must be thinking about David? ". Guess Marvin.

" slightly.. ".

Marvin then turned Marinka's body and clasped her hand.

" Please believe me, and help me get through this ". Said Marvin who even though he himself was still doubtful. Marinka could only nod.

" I'll try ". Marinka said and smiled sweetly.

" Sweet... I always miss your smile.. Stay like this. So that I always remember where I'm going ".
