You know where Reiki took me tonight??

The beach.

Oh gosh.

Feels courtship. Eh?

...

But it's beautiful. Suerr.

It's lonely for some reason where Reiki stopped this car. Like there's no one else around. He and I are still in the car. And I was glued calmly to the sea that was shaded by the stars.

Peace.

I enjoy this silence. I don't care if Reiki is looking at me right now. I just want to enjoy ... Yes ... Who knows when a time like this will never happen again, right?!

"are you happy?" tanyanya slow.

I glanced at her glance who was leaning both her hands on the wheel and her head leaning sideways on it. She's staring.

I didn't answer. I looked back at the sea with a faint smile that I could not hide. Simply put, I was happy just because I saw the sea at night.

"We can find a hotel around here-"

"Crazy!"

Reiki chuckled softly. "So what? You're happy to be here."

"Shut up, Mom! Let me shut up too."

I felt her fingers stroking my hair gently and playing it.

Damnit. I'm thumping. And I wouldn't want any more scenes to come out of him.

"Aren't the dinner events canceled, huh?" I'm diverting the mood. Yup, never lead to romantic things or the like. Do not let the devil be among us. Huh.

Reiki shook his head leisurely without changing his position. Her hand wanted to grab my hair again, but I kind of stayed away from the body.

"I left them."

"What?"

She pulled her lower lip implying how reluctant she was with the dinner.

"Grandma set me up as usual. I'm sick. I'd better find my girlfriend, right?!"

I can't believe he did that in front of his family. Both of his parents are also grandmas.

"Seriously? The same aunt did not forbid Mas Rei?"

"I don't care." she replied casually. This time he straightened his body and opened the car door by his side. He out.

I followed through the door on my left. "So Mas Rei left so soon as you left your dinner?"

"It's not my show, honey."

Now we lean on the front of the car while facing the beach.

"Yes but why did Mas Rei even look for me? It's the same Mas Rei made me a suspect."

"What the hell, honey? Don't think dirty of yourself."

"Listen, Mas, tonight I will stay at Alya's place. I don't want to go home with you."

Reiki rubbed his forehead. "Why?" his tone was offended.

"Later–" I can't explain my words that will even sound like a pestle. Ah ... If the grandma's speech is true, that Reiki only plays around with me, which is why om and aunt have been silent to see my closeness to Reiki, he said, so if I say what's on my mind right now, it wouldn't be embarrassing. What if I say I'm too hopeful?

"What?"

"Let me say that has affected you. Makes you do bad deeds and–"

Reiki gave a small smile and her hand pulled my body into her arms. "What are you talking about, honey? Throw away your bad thoughts."

Deg.

It's critical. I'm pounding again. It's more comfortable. The combination of night, sea, wind, and Reiki. His embrace. It's flawless. L like it.

Pimply.

Can't do.

This can't happen.

...🌜🌜🌜...

"You guys came together?" greet the grandma in the living room when I see me enter with Reiki. There is also an aunt and aunty sitting there.

"Um–"

"Why grandma?" ask Reiki to relax. The man took the place to sit next to his grandmother.

"Don't be too often, it's not good to see people."

"It's not good how, ma'am, Azzura is like family too." said Aunt Widia softly.

Reiki got up from his seat. He walked towards me. "Already, Azzura. We better take a break."

He held my shoulder firmly. I don't want to step up either. "Excuse me, Om, Auntie, Grandma."

I remained silent until I reached my doorstep. Trying to let go of the Reiki embrace is the same as trying to open a chain. Difficult cing!

"Mas Rei ... I'm gonna take a break."

"Don't listen to them all" he said sharply with his eyes locked. "we just have to listen to us. That means only between me and you. Know?!"

I want to argue, but it won't take a while. Then I just have to nod and get away from it.

She let go of her embrace but she held my arm. "I want to ask for my rights" he said meaningfully.

I frowned and reflexively embraced myself with one hand.

"What are you thinking, honey?" ask her with a amused expression. "You want that?"

I shook my head hard. He laughed too softly. "Patience, Honey. We will certainly do it later. But now I'm just gonna ask for this,"

He pulled my nape and immediately******* my lips in an instant. A hot kiss that lasted short because I pushed it hard enough. Then I hurried into the room and locked the door.

...°°°...

I had already cleansed my body as my head began to digest again what situation I was in.

Okay.

Fixes.

I'm. Interested. At the. Reiki.

Then there's the grandma WHO OBVIOUSLY doesn't like me because we're different castes. Then there's Mandala and Aunt Widia who think Reiki's attention to me is the exact same attention to her sister. Another word, according to them, Reiki considers me his sister. What about Reiki? He looks serious but also playful. I don't know ...

I gave up trying to deny my feelings for the man, but I was helpless. I'm ... starting to like it. A tad. Just little. Because I'll never hope for anything. There will never be a future for this feeling. Yes .. I had to give up from the beginning.

.

.

I read some of the chats that went into my phone. In addition to the chat from Montana who never gave up it, there was also a chat from Alya that made me surprised. Dimas went to America because of his parents' coercion. The last time I met Dimas was when I gave an answer and explained the phone call from Reiki, and I explained everything. But from that day on I never met Dimas again.

Then now Alya tells her that Dimas' parents forced Dimas to move to America because of pressure from someone.

Curiosity filled my head. I called Alya.

"What do you mean, Al?"

"Gue got word from his cousin Dimas' sister. Said Dimas in America was sick, Ra."

"What's sick, Al?"

"Do not know the details. He had been treated for a month and told a story that he regretted forcing Dimas to study there." pause from Alya. He heard his breath. "And what surprised me was .. said his cousin Dimas' sister, Dimas nyokapnya said that they were forced to send Dimas 'outside' because of intimidation by others."

"I mean, Al?" I really don't understand. There's a problem what exactly happened with Dimas.

"Maheswara's family's men pressured and paid Dimas's parents, so that Dimas would be sent to America."

HUH UH?

What the hell does that mean?

"Well, do you think the same about me, Juleha?"

I understand what Alya means. But is it possible like that? Am I not too delusional when I think about it?

"No way because of me, right, Al?! Where is it possible, no? It could be because of other factors. Business rivalry, or because Dimas' parents rubbed against Maheswara's family huh, right?!"

"Hm, don't know, Ra ... But somehow I feel that this has something to do with you ...."

"Don't take me, Al. How can we feel this is all because of me?"

"Well .. who knows, Ra!"

"The most important part right now is Dimas. How is Dimas now? Try to find out again, Al, what's the pain Dimas is?"

"Bug-iye ... I'll take another look at the facts."

"Yes already."

After ending the conversation with Alya, I thought again about what happened with Dimas. I wonder if Reiki has anything to do with it? I'm sure as a family Maheswara, of course Mandala, Widia's aunt, and including Reiki must know this all. All I don't know is the reason. Is it possible that Dimas' parents knew something about the Maheswara family? Like cheating, or maybe corruption? Or maybe Dimas' parents were accidentally witnesses to a crime? Ah ... My brain is too fantasy-like drama.

Rather than being curious, wouldn't it be better if I asked the person directly?

I had no intention of finding Reiki in her room, or calling her. I'll just send a chat. Okay, I think this is true.

Does Mas Rei know anything about Dimas?

I waited a long time for Reiki to reply to my message. Half an hour until I felt very sleepy, then my phone gave a tone of voice incoming messages.

There's not a single bully around you, honey.
