LOVE WINARSIH

26. Near the Bamboo Tree

After being taken down by Dean by the side of the road, Disty's emotions run high.

Yesterday he made an appointment to meet with Ms. Amalia at a cafe in Kemang area. He obtained Dean's mother's personal phone number through his own son's cell phone lying unconscious at the time.

Disty keeps a mobile number as a form of guard if his efforts are urgent and threaten Dean is unsuccessful.

Actually that day he changed his mind a little bit about meeting Dean's mother. At first he did want to say how their relationship had been and what his lead was to Dean.

Of course Disty would tuck into the story of how she was and have spent the night together.

But in the morning before Disty asked Dean to pick her up, the woman's mind turned around. He tried to be patient and follow Dean's plan which would introduce him to the Hartono Family slowly.

And in the afternoon, he was only planning to meet Miss Amalia to just get acquainted.

But when Dean drops him off by the highway without trying to persuade or calm his heart, Disty's emotions run high.

This afternoon he'll really tell Ms. Amalia everything.

Don't call him Disty if in the near future he's not part of the Hartono family. The daughter-in-law of a Minister and the wife of a great lawyer.

Disty had arrived at the cafe ten minutes before her appointment time with Ms. Amalia. As a busy person, Disty can make sure that Ms. Amalia will not come on time.

Disty pulled out a glass to check her appearance. She smeared a nude matte-colored lipstick onto her lips.

Her outfit that afternoon was a light gray skirt and blazer that was her office uniform. On the right side of the blazer there is an embroidery logo brand a famous car.

Although only a Customer Relationship, but all objects worn by Disty are not cheap items.

Salary from the company where he works is clearly not enough to finance all the care needs of his body from the tip of the hair to the tip of the head.

Especially if coupled with the needs of three heads that must be borne so far.

What Disty is doing now is one form of his efforts to improve the standard of living.

If you could get a handsome husband who adored many women with abundant treasures at one time, everyone would definitely not miss the opportunity.

A beautiful middle-aged woman in pure white and narrow-eyed skin walked up to her desk.

Disty immediately recognized that it was Minister Hartono's wife.

Disty immediately stood up and welcomed the arrival of the guests he was waiting for. Disty's hand was only greeted by the woman's fingertips.

Disty flashed a very thin cynical smile. The child and the mother turned out to be just as arrogant, Disty thought.

Soon you will beg me to save your family's good name, curse Disty in your heart.

"You Disty? How long has it been with Dean?" ask the woman flat.

"This past year Ma'am," Disty replied calmly.

"Before I wanted to tell a little story with Mom," said Disty.

"Okay, I listen. But please don't take long. My adjutant and secretary were waiting in the car. I still have my next schedule after this."

"It won't be long if you quickly understand what I mean," replied Disty smiling as she confirmed her seat.

********

Dean is seen standing behind the fence with both hands behind. Winarsih did not know whether his employer's son was going to leave or had just returned home. All he could confirm was that Dean's face was very tired and looked sleepy.

Winarsih was completely new this time to see Dean standing around on the fence like that. There is no way Dean is waiting for a fried rice cooker or seblak maker who is usually passing there.

Not knowing what Dean was talking about with Rojak, but when Winarsih got off the clothes with Utomo, he heard his name called.

That night he went out to buy Utomo his first salary. They went not far from Mr. Hartono's residence.

Winarsih wore the clothes she had just bought after washing them as quickly as possible.

He really wanted to wear new clothes. And according to him, that night he had to show Utomo that he was okay. That night, he also wanted to make sure that Utomo was also fine.

As his steps approached the fence, Dean remained standing unmoved looking at him. The man's gaze was straight at him like skinning.

Winarsih felt uncomfortable, as if he had done something wrong to his master's son.

It was clear between them who the real victims were. Especially that night, Winarsih did not feel that he had done anything wrong. He had permission for Mbah to go out to eat for a while.

As a kitchen employee, Mbah's permission alone is enough. Because Mbah who will later bear everything to their employers.

Utomo seemed to realize that Dean had just stood looking at him.

Unpleasant as it was constantly being seen, Winarsih hurriedly entered when Rojak opened the fence for her.

The gate was located to the right of the house, while Winarsih's room was on the left wing.

Dean's face resembles that of a father who caught his daughter coming home last night. He really felt he had made a mistake.

Winarsih moved her feet quickly even without saying goodbye to Utomo.

And the apes, Utomo even shouted again from outside the fence.

"Good sleep Win, tomorrow we'll see you again."

Then without any bad taste at all with Winarsih's position at that time, Utomo just carelessly went with the bajaj they were riding earlier.

While Dean, still standing staring intently at Utomo.

A short while after, with chest pounding like he had just seen a ghost, Winarsih hurriedly took out the room key from her bag.

When he was in a hurry, somehow his hand became too difficult to put the key into the hole.

"Are you being honest with your girlfriend?" Dean's sudden voice behind him was startled. "Your boyfriend accepts your situation?"

Winarsih turned to look at Dean. The man's face did look very tired even though it still looked perfect. His black eyebrows framed the pair of eyes that were now staring at him grimly.

Winarsih didn't answer Dean's question just now.

"Good if that's it. I'm so happy and happy for you. I'm waiting for you to just want to dig this out," Dean said as he handed a paper bag to Winarsih.

"What's this?" ask Winarsih slowly.

Winarsih's hand stretched out to receive the package.

"I don't know if you like or don't like my gift. You can assume I am presumptuous and pretentious. So if you don't like it, you throw it away" Dean said.

Winarsih clenched her mouth looking at the paper bag in her hand. What did he have to say to Dean about Utomo?

What this has to do with Utomo is important to a Dean who a few days ago said he was engaged and could promise nothing for him.

He had no dreams and no hopes for this handsome man in front of him. But thinking that Dean mistook his relationship with Utomo, it also caused a bad feeling in his heart.

"I just want to make sure that you're okay" Dean continued.

Winarsih's heart immediately replied that she would never be okay.

"Win," call Dean.

"Yes sir?" Winarsih.

"I'm sorry again."

"meaning?"

Not to mention Winarsih understood what Dean meant, the two hands of the man had already grabbed his face.

A second later Dean had lowered his head and kissed his lips. Winarsih widened her eyes in surprise. Her lips just silently accepted Dean's warm-feeling lips.

The man closed his eyes. Winarsih can see rows of thick eyelashes and facial skin that looks smooth like without pores.

Feeling Winarsih just silently glued, Dean let go of his kiss.

"Sorry, take care of yourself. Do not go outside the mallem often, you will get sick later. Spend all the multivitamins I took yesterday. You rest, I'll go in first." Dean then left him.

Winarsih did not have time to answer anything, but Dean had gone to walk down the yellow bamboo plant that leads to the kitchen door.

Winarsih stared at Dean's broad shoulder away. The perfect wide shoulder she never dreamed of could be a place to lean.

Dean walked lethargicly towards the living room couch to pick up his cell phone. A moment later, Amalia's new-looking mother arrived at the house approaching her with a haunted face.

"Dean! Mama wants to talk."

"Dean is tired Ma, tomorrow morning...."

"No way, it has to be tonight. You go to mama's room. Mumpung papaamu not home yet," said Ms. Amalia who hastily left to leave her to go to the room.

"What the hell is it about?" asked Dean with a lazy face.

"On Disty. It's critical. You have to hear what mom says, or you could die because you're out there!" ma'am Amalia then disappeared at the turn towards the stairs.
