LOVE Plus Minus

Sundays

"This guy why the hell?" I murmured in my heart.

"So why did you come?" manya curious.

"Yes, I'm suspicious that this weekend you must not open a book at all, right?"

"Don't recriminate." I said annoyed.

"But to the drugstore duku yuk, buy medicine for your face" said Dave while pulling my wrist.

Want to not want me to just follow the man while manyun because it was disturbed.

"Where'd Cyn go?" asked Mama from the living room when she saw me and Dave.

"I'm taking Cyntia to the drugstore" Dave said.

"Oh, all the coconut milk nitips yes Cyn, from the mpok Nana stall." said mama to me.

"Yes ma." I replied casually, leaving the living room that was being inhabited by my mother and sister.

"Jalan aja" I said to Dave who is now opening his car.

"ha?" tanyanya doubt.

"There's a pharmacy close to here."

"Continue ordering your mama?"

"Combotten? Warung mpok Nana was still in sebrang." I said while moving my chin towards sebrang.

Dave just followed the direction I was pointing at and re-locked the car. We walked side by side, on the sidewalk. After walking for about fifty meters Dave and I arrived at a drugstore. Dave ordered some kind of medicine. We went straight back home, of course with my mom's order.

\*\*\*

Now I'm busy putting ointment on my face. While Dave was hanging out with my family in the living room. I could hear a crisp and cheerful laughter from that place. Dave who is so annoying turns out to be able to make this house crowded. After completing the ritual treatment of my facial irritation, I walked out of the room towards the living room.

"Where is everyone?" I asked Dave.

"Your sister's gone, she used to say Sunday night."

"Huh?" ask me not to believe the eyeballs I deliberately turned.

"Mommy...?" ask again.

"In the kitchen."

"Oh, yaudah I uh I mean help mama first yes." I said.

"Well, keep me alone?" ask Dave not to accept.

"You are not invited" I said as I passed from there.

"I can also help in the kitchen" Dave said as he followed me.

"It's so bad." I said sniffly while looking at him with a warlike gaze.

Dave looked back at me, but with a very gentle look right at my eyeballs.

deg.deg..

Suddenly I felt strange. This guy is a bitch.

"It's up to you. Males ah ngadepin nyebelin." I said as I rushed to the kitchen.

\*\*\*

Dave POV

I sat alone in this room for five minutes. The family room of Cyntia's house. The girl did not come out of her room. Did applying the ointment on his envious face take that long? This girl really always manages to piss me off.

""Where is everyone?" I turned my face towards the source of the sound.

"Finally this girl showed up as well." I growled inwardly.

After explaining to her where her sister and mother went, the girl said she would help her mother in the kitchen

"What's? does that mean I was left alone? Jeez, why do I use a visit here if even in wine. Mending me at Noni's house, anyway there is still art that activities to and fro." murmured me inwardly.

"I can also help in the kitchen" I told the girl as she got up from her sitting position and caught up with her.

"It's really so." The girl nodded while glaring at me.

I choose to glare back at him. But those two eyeballs look really cute and make my heart feel warm.

"It's up to you. Males ah ngadepin nyebelin." nagged the girl, and I just smiled knots while tailing behind her.

Finally here I am now, helping Cyntia and her mother clean the vegetables that will be cooked as a dinner menu.

"So you're doing thesis work?" ask the middle-aged woman without stopping her activities.

"Well, graduation dong soon. Not like this Cyntia, it's still a long time" he said trying to be funny.

"Geez, Mama, Cyntia is only starting second semester. How do you get a fast graduation?" The girl chuckled softly.

"Yes too. But it does not feel yes Cyn, you who used to be a small baby now can help mama cook in the kitchen." said the mother moved.

"Well, I grew up really well because I was in the same foster care as this great mama." The girl gave a brief kiss on the cheek of her mother who was busy with kitchen spices.

"Mama's son can. It's really sweet."

The two women looked at each other warmly. The warm feeling that had long since disappeared from my life suddenly returned. It was not in vain that I chose this house to spend my weekend this time. I finally get to see the warmth of the family again.

Dave POV off

***

Me, Mama and Dave are sitting in the living room watching a television show. Looking for singing talent. While my sister won't come home.

"Sounds good. It will definitely win." chirped mama while watching one of the participants sing.

"Not necessarily mam, the journey is still long" I replied casually.

"I agree tan, he can sing well" Dave said.

"Oh, you don't like to agree with me." said sarcas.

"Cyntia. don't talk so dong darling.you're here-there's aja." said mama gently trying to reprimand me.

"alright. Sorry mom." I replied later.

"I'm home." My sister finally showed up, immediately kissed my mother's hand and rushed to her room.

After the free ad from my bontot brother, me, mama and Dave went back to watching tv.

I yawned many times, the show we were watching was finally about to end.

"Dave not come home?" I just slow down while sleepy.

"ha?" he glanced at the clock on his wrist.

"Delayed Dave, just nginap." haggard mom.

"But ma.."

"Darling, you're the same as your own friend but - but anyway?" asked my mother to stop my words.

"Jaudah. Just look at Dave. The night road is dangerous, a lot of scum." I said later.

"Thank you aunt." said the man sincerely.

"Don't hesitate. Oh yeah, aunt slept first. You don't forget to give a blanket to Dave ya Cyn, sleep in the guest room near your room only."

"But ma.." I said hanging considering that the room was long uninhabited, which meant it had to be cleaned again.

"What else, baby? My mom is so heavy." I looked at the mama who looked tired, my heart trembled for a moment.

"okay Ma.... Have a nice dream." I said later.

Mama passed by, leaving me and Dave in the living room. My mom and sister's room is downstairs. While my room and guest room are located on the second floor. Don't be confused, why my mediocre family can live in this luxurious house. It's all because this house is the only thing left from the moment of the downfall of my family's business.

"Will you watch?" I asked Dave.

"I'm sleepy too" he murmured.

"Hey, didn't you come here to study? we haven't learned Dave." I protested.

"Cursed Cyn, remember aunt's message don't forget to give me a blanket."

In a fit of annoyance I turned off the tv and pulled it to the second floor. We stopped at the door of the room next to mine.

"Gue wasn't sure to say this, but you can see the state of the room yourself" I said.

We went into the room, the room was not very dusty.

"Mama must have cleaned this room." I murmured inwardly.

"Yaudah, you sleep here, wait for me to pick up the blankets" I said hurriedly from there.

I was still in the doorway, when suddenly the situation around me was suddenly pitch dark and someone hugged me tightly.

"You're nothing at all?" many emotions.

"i'm afraid of the dark cyn." she replied quivering.

"Jeez.." I pat my eel frustrated. For the first time in my life, there was a grown man who was afraid of the dark.
