Little Monster

Ceria Cafe

After a tense thesis hearing, Randy waited outside with flowers and a doll and welcomed my graduation.

Jiaahh, but all that is only in my delusion. I get even more upset every time I remember all of our wonderful plans that were supposed to be realized, but they've been wiped out.

My emotions are going up when it comes to everything about Randy.

Ahh, my ex, however, I have loved him, and perhaps not completely gone even though my mouth always says otherwise.

Tonight I couldn't sleep, I was completely distracted by all these thoughts, the fact that I hadn't managed to move on from the man who broke my heart also kept teasing me.

I still cry a few times when I remember what happened. Not crying for Randy, but why I'm so hard to let go. It really takes a while.

For some reason I was so sad and like emptying all my mind, I made a request that I called a do'a in order to move forward. I don't want to be annoyed with something that even harms me again.

Lucky I could tell Randy's how he was right now, it was better than if we were actually married and found out later.

Maybe Randy is not my soul mate.

"Lord, if Randy's not good for me, keep us away. Match me with the best man by Your side."

I was immersed in the request, earnestly asking for it wholeheartedly.

*t ....

A notification came into my phone.

[Hi, are you happy? (Hi, are you happy)?]

[Who is this?] reply brief.

In my heart immediately cursed, damn, how happy I am at this moment with all the things that still include the loss of my love story with Randy!

[I'm Indra, we met before.]

[Where? uhh, got my number from whom?]

[I have no bad intentions, Sasa. Tomorrow at 1pm, I'll wait for you at the Cheerful Cafe. You should come, I've ordered a table for us.]

I'm a little suspicious that the one who sent this message was Randy, but is it true?

Ahh, why is my mind always on that cheat guy?!

I did not reply to the last message that came in because I was asleep without me noticing.

"Anisa ... wake up, son! how do you want to start waking up if you get up early in the morning is hard?" mother said that nagging woke me up in the morning blind.

"Yes, ma'am, five more minutes ... Zzz."

"Wake now! five minutes, five minutes, so 50 minutes if you," she said, pulling the blanket that covered my body.

"Ahh, Mother ... two more minutes ..." I bargained while rolling around not wanting to get up.

Mother threatened to bring a glass of water to splash on my face if I didn't really wake up.

Haisshh, I just gave up.

I got up and helped Mom in the kitchen.

If I'm not having a weekend or class, I usually do help Mom cook and everything about order cooking.

Ahh, yes, I remembered last night's chat, at 1pm at the Cheerful Cafe.

After helping Mom, I rushed to take a shower and prepared for the cafe to investigate who exactly the person who claimed Indra was. I'll be there early, before the promised hour.

Arriving at the Ceria Cafe, I went straight to the cashier. I saw Ivan on duty there. I immediately asked for his help to check who had booked the table at one time. There was something different on Ivan's face as I grumbled about the equation of the ordered menu with the last meal I ate with Dafa.

I'm looking at Ivan with questions about how this happened. Then Ivan admitted that he had given my phone number to a person who claimed to be named Indra.

'Speak of the Devil', the man who sent me the message last night is already next to me.

He said he was sure I would come even if the last message I didn't reply.

I saw a dazzling smile of victory on his lips.

Ughh, so sweet!

Heh, wait, everyone has a characteristic in his smile, my smile is also no less sweet let alone rows of teeth and extra shuffles that become one of the plus points.

If I notice, it seems that the age of the foreign man is above me, so when he formally introduced himself, I have since started calling him Mas Indra, even though he initially refused to be called 'Mas', but precisely because he did not want to be called with the name Mas, I instead so deliberately always called him Mas Indra. Haha.

First, Mas Indra told me that 3 days after meeting me at the college, he fell ill with fever and flu after rain in front of the fence of Mother's house.

Then Mas Indra went to this cafe and asked Ivan for help and got my mobile number.

Mas Indra said, he could not believe it would take more than a year just to find me.

I didn't understand what he meant until he finally had a chat about the night in the alley a few years ago.

"Where did you go, Sa, after taking me to the hospital?" tanya Mas Indra was curious.

"Go home .." I replied accordingly.

"I'm sorry, even now I'm just as sorry I haven't thanked you for your help at that time, if there wasn't you, maybe we wouldn't be here right now ...."

"Haisshh, just a few times, if it wasn't me, there would be someone else who would have nolongin you."

"Sorry, Sa, at that time I couldn't immediately ask you to just say 'thankyou', because for medical problems, Mama took me home and I didn't come here again until some time."

"Yes, yaudah is okay, now it's here and finally ...."

"It took me a year to finally meet you."

"Mahaha ...."

"Aren't you laughing?" tanya Mas Indra.

"Why do you even bother to tell me everything? it's been going on for a long time, hasn't it, I've forgotten."

"I can't forget that easily, Sasa. Ohya, how are Dafa and Mom? Vera too?"

"Everything is good ...."

We both ended up telling each other a lot of things, even though this was the first time we sat together and told each other stories, yet we were already like old friends.

Mas Indra volunteered to drive me home, but I needed to go to the supermarket to buy some of Mom's treats, so we split up at the cafe.

Since our meeting at the Ceria Cafe, Mas Indra and I met again several times there and had a short conversation through chat.

Although I don't really believe anymore with the name of a man because of the act of Randy, but I see Mas Indra a little different, he is quite mature, maybe because his age also affects.

We are 5 years old, just like me and Vera. I was born when Vera was five years old at the time.

One month since our meeting and right on my birthday, Mas Indra said that she fell in love with me and hoped to have a more serious relationship.

At that time Mas Indra also began to tell stories about himself including Lea which of course made me very dilemma.

At first I thought Mas Indra was a father and husband who was intending to find a new woman, until he told me everything about Mother Goddess as well.

Knowing Mas Indra was a widower who had one child from Mbak Dewi, somehow I became upset myself.

Some days I ignored the phone calls or messages that entered my HP.

I feel very dilemma. Why do I have to be in this position, but on the other hand I have also started to be able to accept the presence of Mas Indra and forget a little about Randy.

I was confused and ended up telling Fani and Maria. My two best friends left all the decisions in my hands, but they also supported me staying with Mas Indra because after all, Lea had existed even before me and Mas Indra were together.

Among Fani and Maria, Maria was the most eager to support me to continue my relationship with Mas Indra.

And it turns out that I found out that Mas Indra had told me several times and asked Maria for help to dig up information and ask questions about myself.

I finally received the love of Mas Indra.

To further interest me, he bought a rice cooker, a pot and some cookware, saying he would make food for me in his apartment.

I agreed to come there for dinner with Fani and Maria.

Basic man, I see the furniture in his residence is indeed a little. There were even only 3 dinner plates and a few plastic spoons. During this time Mas Indra never cook because it always buys food from outside. He lives alone.

Dinner that he said he would cook something for me too, in the end I was the one who became the chef.

Fani and Maria laughed amusedly seeing me and Mas Indra were in the kitchen trying to make food.

They both joked that we looked like a couple.

Mas Indra gave me one key and his apartment access card if at any time I would visit there.

I have been there a few times but never alone. I take Fani or Maria with me and sometimes take them both with me.

Not wanting to happen something unwanted let alone repeated like before with Randy, Mother who had known about my relationship with Mas Indra advised me to get married immediately.

Mas Indra was also willing to marry me as soon as possible, but I couldn't decide everything that quickly moreover I really still hadn't completely forgotten about Randy and our unrealized wedding plans.

Both Mother and Mas Indra invited me and gave me time to think things through and leave all the decisions in my hands.

I'm also starting to work on a thesis which means I need to focus more on my studies.

Mother's message is that I always keep myself from unwanted things that might happen.

Mas Indra started introducing me to Lea.

Looks like I will easily accept the child, especially the age is almost the same as Maya, my niece, Kak Vera's son.

But it all fell apart when I first met him.

The boy was far from my expectations. I thought that since Mas Indra was his Father, that boy would also be as gentle and funny as his Father, but everything was the opposite.

As his 'prospective mother', I tried to be sweet to Lea. I invited him to play a game that is usually played by children his age. I also often do this with Dafa and Maya.

Inside Mas Indra's room, I rolled my body into a thin blanket and rolled around towards him, I said I was a monster that was going to eat his body.

Either out of fear or what, Lea suddenly kicked and stomped on my stomach violently.

"Aarrggghhhhh!" I shouted as the boy's legs were above my stomach.

It hurt so much, I even cried.

Mas Indra who was in the front room, went into the room and checked things out, saw me crying, Mas Indra thought it was part of the game when I was really in pain.

Even though Lea is a child, I can't just forgive her. Moreover, the boy even laughed when he saw me cry in pain.

"Damn it! you Little Monster!" my mind's upset.

Not only that, Lea's behavior also always managed to make me angry.

A little bit of crashing, crying, and 'tantrum' that makes me so sick of him.

Hufftt, how can I be a mother to such a child?

This not only happened once twice, but every time Lea came to Mas Indra's apartment or when we took her for a walk on the weekend, Lea always showed her annoying attitude!

I really can't stand all the behavior of that little monster. But Mas Indra always defended him and asked me to be more patient with Lea.

Several times I also invited Maya to come with us so that at least Lea had friends and not annoying like this.

Because of one thing or another, Mas Indra and I have not been able to immediately hold an official wedding, let alone Mas Indra is not a permanent citizen of this city, he said, so he needs a lot of paperwork and some other necessities from his hometown with a pretty complicated process, I'm also working on a thesis. But because we often went together and to avoid things that were not desirable, eventually Mas Indra and I married religiously while preparing everything needed to formalize our marriage later.

Although it is religiously legal, but I do not live directly with Mas Indra.

I am still at Mom's house a lot.

My relationship with Mas Indra is also not always okay especially when it comes to Lea.

Instead of standing up for me and allowing me to linger in her house, Mother asked me to be filial and take care of the man who is now my husband. So did Sister Vera, they both asked me to be a devoted wife to her husband.

Finally I moved to Mas Indra's apartment and lived together with him.

Every night, we do a 'pillow talk' session, or a pillow conversation, where we'll go over a lot of things about just about anything.

Although done on a mattress, and lying down with a pillow, we do not only discuss about the rotation of the bed although it is usually 'pillow talk' occurs after we do husband and wife activities.

While still making out and hugging after reaching heaven world, mas Indra and I discussed many things even to the ridiculous thing about favorite positions or what styles we will practice for the next sex session.

We both agree that communication is one of the important things that must exist in a relationship. In addition to honesty and mutual trust, good communication will also prevent us from mutual suspicion. Communication is also useful for building our connection.

Mas Indra and I are also open to each other for any problems so Mas Indra also knows if I actually do not like his son.
