Long River

Talks

"Lho, girlfriend rose to her post, why even crave? Should be happy dong."

Chris laughs.

"Where not upset Map, he's more concerned with his friends than me. He's buying his friends now, and I'm getting sent home by myself." Salwa was still grumbling.

Reina and Chris looked at each other and smiled.

"Yes as a girlfriend, you just support Rojak. Maybe tomorrow, he'll take you to a more special place."

Salwa was silent for a moment but did not look as sorry as before. "Really Map?"

"Yes, she's your boyfriend. You're the one who knows better. Is he that kind of person?"

Despite not answering, Salwa's eyes returned cheerful. "Good Night Pa, Map.(Good night Pa, Map.)"

"Good night, Salwa." Reina leaned her body on the chest of her husband's field which looks still fun watching tv. He changed the tv but Chris flinched. He finally turned off the television and still the same. "Nr ...."

"Mmh, what Honey."

"Where are your thoughts going?"

"Eh, that's ...." Chris was surprised, his wife knew that he was not focusing on watching. His mind was moving somewhere else. "Sorry Honey, I'm thinking about work in the office."

"Squeaky. Usually Uda does not like to think about office work at home. They usually don't care. It's been this serious all of a sudden in these few days. Thinking about work or other women?" Reina's beautiful eyeballs stared at her intensely.

Chris was surprised, but he tried to keep Reina from seeing the change in her face. He tried to fool her with a little laugh. "Honey .. You are there. Let's go to bed. I'm going to the office early tomorrow."

"Mmh, what's wrong?" Reina's gentle face looked at the face of her husband who still looked handsome at his age of 44 years.

"Oh, there's a little preparation I have to do." Chris pulled his wife's body to stand up. It was hard to lie if Reina looked at him for too long.

"Ok, honey."

In bed, Chris was unable to fall asleep. He's still fretting.

Mama is the smartest to take care of this problem but she has died 3 years ago due to a traffic accident in America while Daddy who participated in an accident with her is now sickly there. Fortunately, Nena took care of him and ran his company.

Chris took a breath. I have to be careful to do it while fumbling because if wrong can be fatal as a result. He made his wife's blanket, and he slept beside her.

Phone's ringing. Leka just turned to her phone that was on the nightstand. Lazy to take it but he remembered the threat of her husband and finally he was forced to lift it. "...."- ".

"Leka, why don't you make a sound?"

"Lazy" replied the woman who was already lying on the bed.

"Leka .. on nights like this, I miss your voice, your smell, your face and the sense that you're here. Don't you feel what I feel?" Aska also turned out to be on top of her bed and stared at the bed next to her. Silence without his wife there.

"No." Leka immediately ended the conversation and put her cellphone back on the nightstand. He is not a plain and stupid Leka as before, he can no longer be lied to and seduced anymore. The woman already knew enough who her husband was until he made up his mind with his decision. This marriage must end.

----------++++---------

The event that most like in the morning is breakfast with 'Papa'. He had breakfast with the man who was kind to his mother and himself while looking at the man's Japanese face. His mother was lucky to find a man who made him smile often, and he also liked the man.

"Later out to eat Papa will read you a book. Wanna?" Ask Kenzo to Runi.

Although the little girl did not understand what she was offering, she looked happy.

After breakfast, Leka brought Runi into the living room.

"Why did you go to the living room? Are there any guests coming?" ask Kenzo wonder.

"So, you can't play in my room, sister." Leka dropped Runi near the sofa.

Kenzo began to understand. "Oh, yes. Sorry I forgot."

"Titip Runi Kak, I'll get you the book first." Leka up the stairs. Kenzo raises Runi to the sofa and the man sits next to his son.

Before long Leka came down. He brought 2 thick books. One is made of thick cardboard paper and the other is made of fabric. The book of cloth was the first to be opened. Leka paid close attention to how to play it. There is a picture pillow that can be taken off and moved, there are pictures that are pulled in motion, there is also composing images and knowing alphabets and numbers. All very interesting. Not only Leka, Runi was also very amazed to see it. The little girl also tried to pull and move the pillow.

Not to mention the other book. The book can sing when it presses the button in the book.

"Sister not working?"

Suddenly Leka's voice made Kenzo turn. "Huh? Oh, I work as I please. Not every day either."

"Oh." Leka sat on a different sofa from Kenzo and Runi.

Kenzo was eager to talk to Leka, but he was afraid of mispronunciation. He's trying. "Can you cut me a mango?"

"Oh, I can." Leka just stood up ....

"And a glass of cold water."

"Yes." Yeah."

A moment later, Leka had returned with a plate of mango pieces and a glass of cold water. Now Kenzo was confused because they had just eaten, but he had asked Leka for a piece of fruit. At the dinner table it was the same. They could only talk stale and make their conversation awkward.

He stuck a piece of mango with a fork and pointed the piece into his mouth, but then stopped. Kenzo then put it back.

"Lho, why?"

"Leka, if I'm wrong, can you come straight to me, so I can fix it?"

"I don't know. I just ... don't want you to shut up. I'm afraid .. You're mad at me. I'm afraid .. you left without cause .. and I haven't had time to correct my mistake."

O God, his honest words came out of his heart making me feel even more guilty about what I did. It's not comparable. Why on this kind of person should I lie? Destiny surrounded me to lie to the people who helped me. Kenzo and his family, and I'm protecting my husband, that big liar. I'm really embarrassed, to put where my face is. Before they knew it, I had to solve my problem with Bang Aska so that I could go home soon and never have to see them again. I can't bear to see the disappointed faces. "I think Brother is too much. I've never seen Brother make a mistake."

"Eh, really?"

"Yes Brother."

Kenzo looked at Leka, as if he still wanted to ask, but then he paused. He tried to be satisfied with Leka's answer which was still in a floating sense.

"Mr ... Pops ...." Runi pulls Kenzo's shirt. The man turned his head and went back to playing with Runi.

"Nr ...."

"Mmh?"

"Son't you rest?"

The man had just turned his head when Leka suddenly came and carried Runi. "But I ...."

"Sister, I'm not good. I'm here working, but it looks like I'm troubling Brother with Runi."

"Eh, I don't feel that way." Kenzo tried to explain.

The front door bell rang. A maid came to open the front door.

"Dad ...."

"Hello, what are you doing?" Arya comes and sees the mango cut. He took a fork that had a piece of mango and ate it. "Mmh, good."

Kenzo and Leka looked at Arya who was enjoying eating her mango. Arya did not know why she was looked at like that by the two.

"What's wrong? Did I eat wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay Dad. Did you have breakfast?" Kenzo asked trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Dad ate, I want to talk to Leka."

"I Sir?" Ask Leka wonder.

"Yes." Yeah." The man saw Leka holding Runi. "Please give Runi to Jo first. We're talking in the back gazebo."

Leka. He followed the man to the back garden.

The house has a large garden behind and in the middle in the pairs of gazebos shaped round of wood that can be used for all activities or just for a place to look at the garden it's very broad there. Beside it is a small fish pond with a wide variety of fish adding to the cool eye view.

Inside the gazebo was a medium-sized table surrounded by chairs. Arya took Leka to sit there.

"Do you have a problem with Jo?" Arya immediately asked the subject.

"Eh? Ah, there's no sir." Leka didn't think he'd be asked about Kenzo.

"Jo is very sensitive. If you change just a little, he'll find out."

I was confused how to answer it. "She's like .. like me."

"Jo likes you."

"Eh?" Leka didn't think Arya knew. Is this father-son relationship so close that he knows things like this too?

"Then how are you?"

He was confused to answer it. "Sir, I'm just a worker here. I don't deserve anything more than that."

"If she's serious how?"

Leka looked at Arya with a confused look. Why would this guy propose to me for Kenzo's son? He could find his son a better friend than me. Prettier, richer, more educated and more everything than me, but this .... "Sir, I'm just an uneducated villager sir."

"What was your last education?"

"SMA."

"Graduating?"

"Supass Sir."

"Jo never graduated High School."

"Huh?"

"When he first came to Jakarta, he did not speak Indonesian, so I sent him to a special online school but he wanted to go to a public school. So when he could speak Indonesian, I put him in the school he wanted. Damn, he was involved in a fight that caused him a concussion. The doctor forbade him from thinking difficult things for 10 years and only 2 years ago was he declared cured of his illness."

Leka was really surprised to hear the story about Kenzo. He did not expect the man he saw every day had an uneasy personal life, inversely proportional to the amount of wealth that kept flowing toward him.
