Love in Mystery

Gladist Threat

“Aaaah!”

He immediately pulled my hand so that my body fell beside his body and overstretched his left arm.

I was shocked and unconsciously the gaze we met made me feel a very irregular heartbeat. I quickly tried to take my eyes off, but again he surprised me with his words that said, “Fir, I am happy to meet you.”

I who was about to take my eyes off of him, suddenly just looked at him with a surprised facial expression.

He who might know what I was thinking was immediately pulled my body so that it became very close to him. Holding my palm, he said, “Fir, in the future I want you to always trust me. Yes?!”

He kissed me on the forehead and then hugged me. I who get this treatment from Mr. Fathan suddenly become sad.

“Pak, if you knew about the real me, would you still have this feeling for me?” I murmured in my heart.

***

In the evening, I woke up feeling hungry. When I opened my eyes and was about to wake up, I suddenly realized that there was a hand Mr. Fathan was hugging my body.

“Aih's. Why could there be a handsome Lecturer whose image had suddenly turned into this?!” I muttered in my heart and then tried to slowly move Mr. Fathan's hand from above my body.

Shortly after escaping, I immediately stood up and put my feet out of the room.

I walked into the kitchen and then took a glass of water and looked for Auntie.

“Bi, aunty does not cook?” I was the only one who could find no food in the kitchen.

“Oh, Non. Hasn't Sir told Non?” tanyakanya.

I shook my head too.

“Non, this morning Sir forbade Aunt to cook. He said Mr. would like to take Non-dining outside,” explained Bibi.

I who heard Aunt's explanation finally gawked. In my heart I said, “Si Pak Dosen this one want to do again anyway?! Aih. dah ah. Laper.”

I immediately rushed to find something that can be made in cooking and lucky, it turns out there was an instant noodle that I bought at that time.

“Oh, you were brought here?!” my mutter then took out two packs of noodles and made them.

While I was enjoying the noodles I had cooked, suddenly a hand grabbed my hand and pulled me.

“Change your clothes. We're out eating,” said Mr. Fathan and then out.

The real me still wants to spend the noodles just grunt annoyed.

“It's smart to break the mood,” my grunts who then shower and change my clothes.

After I finished, I also intended to finish my noodles earlier. But when I arrived at the dining room, it turned out...

“Lha is over?! Who eats?” muttered.

And at the same time...

“Where? Ready already? If so, we leave now,” said Mr. Fathan who approached me in the kitchen.

I was silent at all did not flinch so it makes him ask, “Kok only? You see what the hell again?”

“Already. Don't think about it anymore noodles are still there or running out. Don't we eat out now?!” said Mr. Fathan who immediately grabbed my shoulder and took me away.

Along the way, we were silent. There's not a single thing to discuss. Until we got to a family restaurant.

We ordered food before we sat down.

While we were waiting for our order to be delivered, suddenly a woman came to us.

“Hai, Than. Didn't know we could meet here,” greet the woman who turned out to be Gladis directly sitting with us.

Mr. Fathan just smiled coldly, whereas I pretended to be indifferent.

“Eh, Than. Listen here in the area there is a night market. We go there yuk. You see I miss pingin road both just like you,” whine Gladis.

“Sori, Dis. Actually I can not walk with you if not for work,” said Mr. Fathan.

“You mean?” tanyakanya.

Mr. Fathan took a deep breath and then said, “Honest. Don't misunderstand my attitude towards you all this time. I'm like that because of work. Not for any other reason. After all you should never expect more from me because I already have a candidate for my marriage.”

“Brack.”

There was a table that was hit so hard that it surprised me who was still playing the game on my phone.

“You!! You turned out to be playing me yes all this time?!.” he said that sounded like not receiving, “remember, Than. Your secret is still with me. If you don't want your secret exposed, you better think about what you said just now.”

After saying that, Gladis immediately left. Meanwhile, Mr. Fathan just fell silent. I who saw the expression on Mr. Fathan's face became a little suspicious. Actually what do you mean by secret Gladis.

Not long after, our order came and we ate it.

That night that we were supposed to eat deliciously, it suddenly turned bland.

“Ah, know this is how mending eat my noodles earlier. Eat it quiet again. Without seeing a facial expression like this,” muttered I glanced towards Pak Fathan who was pensive.

***

A few days after that night, Mr. Fathan's attitude suddenly changed. I don't know what caused him to be like that. But for sure he rarely went home.

Then today. The day that was supposed to be the day of his college eyes, I saw the look on Mr. Fathan's slightly serious face. I don't know what's really going on. But when I intended to greet her, she quickly avoided me.

“Fir, you ma Pak Fathan all right?” asked Jio who turned out to be paying attention to my situation with Mr. Fathan.

“Sign up, Yo. I myself am also confused,” I said.

When the school hours were over, I went straight home. But when I was about to get out of the campus gate, I saw Mr. Fathan was with Gladis. From my vision, they look very friendly to make me think whether all this time Gladis speech is the most correct and Mr. Fathan is the one who actually played my heart.

Thinking about it, it felt with certainty that in this heart it was very painful. I don't know why Mr. Fathan was so hard playing me.

In a daze, I took my foot off the campus. I don't know if I deserve to stay at Mr. Fathan's house or not.

As I walked pensively, suddenly from behind there was someone patting me on the shoulder and when I looked it up...

Seriate...
