Love with Red Signs

Rips

“For you.” Cahyo thrusts the white-colored box of chocolate into Yuni.

“Thank you, Mas.” Yuni opened the box and found a dress that was almost the same as the one she wanted in the mall, “When did she buy it? How can it be the same?” Yuni did not want to discuss the others now.

“So nemu, I took it directly to the cashier.”

“Tomorrow I use Mas.”

Again. Although it was not too awkward, Cahyo still came out first to wait for Yuni to fall asleep, and Yuni did not want to bother about it now. If this is the case, let him accept it.

Yuni really sent the driver now. Wearing a casual suit as usual he chose to immediately join Ratih who was in the cafeteria with Hendra.

“Entar malem not coming? I want to make a small birthday for myself.” Ratih who was busy eating fried foods did not look too much at Yuni.

“I named my mother first.” Yuni did not say that she was married.

“Dateng yes? This is my first birthday with you.”

Yuni nodded, she would not have the heart if she did not come to her best friend's birthday.

***

Yuni was quite happy that her mother allowed it. She chose to come early and wear the dress that Cahyo bought. Yuni also has a debit card given by Cahyo, so she can buy a small gift for Ratih.

“Hendra! With ya entry?” The new Yuni came and found Hendra in the parking lot running a little so as not to be left behind.

Instead of quickly entering, Hendra was dumbstruck and looked at Yuni from bottom to top, as if to not believe if this sweet girl standing in front of him was the same Yuni that he had known all along. The long hair that had been severed covered her back as well as her smooth sleeves as the dress had no arms, making a peculiar swish of its own for Hendra.

“Hey?!” Yuni waved her right hand to the front of Hendra's serious face as her left hand was holding a gift for Ratih, “Malah was dumbfounded. Come on in. ..”

Hendra cleared his throat and immediately entered without any intention of saying anything.

Ratih was waiting with someone next to him, birthday cake that is not too big also adorned the table that there is a flower arrangement esternya in the middle there, “Hey! I don't think dateng.” Ratih immediately stood up and hugged Yuni.

“This is for you, I hope you like.” Yuni thrust her card at Ratih after taking off that short hug.

“A .. aaa .. thanks. Uh knowin, this is Surya my girlfriend.” The person next to Ratih stood up and extended his hand to Yuni.

After the introduction, they also celebrated the simple party while joking together. Chat and exchange stories, and also laugh together.

But bereda with Hendra, he even more silent and occasionally steal a glance to Yuni. I think he saw another figure tonight. Although she knows Yuni tends to be covered with her personal life, but Yuni's cheerfulness begins to look even sweeter in Hendra's eyes.

“You're leaving together?” ask Ratih.

Yuni shook her head quickly, “No, I'm my same driver.”

“You?” He asked Hendra.

Not answering, Hendra instead smiled after seeing Yuni also smiling towards him.

“Eh! Lice kupret! Lu?” Samples Ratih stood up and slapped Hendra's forehead with a spoon of his former meal.

“Aaan anyway? Dirty nih!” Hendra immediately picked up a tissue and cleaned his forehead which felt a bit wet. Yuni and Ratih laughed together. Even Surya who was silent from just now was also excited to see Hendra who was upset.

Time continued to pass, getting late even though the party was as if it had just begun. Yuni who did not want to make mama Cahyo worry, immediately said goodbye to go home.

“Yun.” call Hendra.

“Ya?” Yuni turned around, maybe Hendra would say something important.

“You're back together?”

“I'm the same driver?”

Hendra scratched his non-itchy nape, “I can drive you faster with my sport bike.”

“Okey. But next time don't reject me.”

“I can't promise, I'm sorry.”

Tin. Tin.

Yuni turned her head because she felt the car horn was calling her, “Sorry, Hendra. I have to go home now.” Yuni who recognized whose car it was, immediately sped up her path leaving Hendra who looked astonished by her hasty attitude.

“I bought her the dress was not used to tease the man out there.” a firm and deep voice instantly echoed over the car that just drove it.

“I'm not teasing him, Mas.” Yuni quickly put on her own seat belt because Cahyo just drove away earlier.

“Trus? What was that? You said it was Ratih's birthday? His name is Ratih?” Cahyo did not understand her because she was not willing to see Yuni chatting with a man in front of the cafe.

“That's Hendra, Mas. Yang---“

“He's changed Hendra? Lecture 1 month already pinter huh you?”

“Not, Mas. We three temenan.”

Cahyo chuckles, “My eyes are not blind, Yun. Make know it's three what the two are.”

“Ratih is still inside, Mas. Same guy, he--“

Cahyo was getting uproarious so that Yuni's nonsense didn't make her even more angry.

Even Yuni who felt cornered chose to be quiet, she did not want Cahyo to get even more angry if she opposed it.

“Where, Honey? Excited show?” mama Cahyo always hugged Yuni when her daughter-in-law just came home from anywhere.

“Starting tomorrow I'm the one who nganter Yuni lecture.” without intending to stop, Cahyo immediately headed to her room after saying that.

His mama's forehead wrinkled, even earlier when he told me that Yuni was going to his friend's birthday party, his son was cute as if he didn't care, “What's wrong, darling?”

“Mas misunderstood, Ma.” Yuni did not want to say too much detail to mama Cahyo.

Mama Cahyo smiled and stroked Yuni's long hair, “Just rest, it's night. Tomorrow is college, right?”

Yuni nodded, resting is indeed the right choice now because time is indeed late enough.

Yuni had just walked into her room, Cahyo immediately pulled her wrist and threw her on the bed.

Sriekk.

Yuni's dress was torn from her body. Shapeless because it has been split into two parts with the side still attached to Yuni's body.

Yuni immediately covered her body with her two hands and cried out a mouthful now.

“I. No. gabe. Like. Seeing you. Wearing. Dresses. It.”

Yuni nodded at Cahyo's pressed sentence in each of those words.

“Mandi and soon sleep.”

Yuni nodded back, she would obey all of Cahyo's words.

“Good.” After saying that, Cahyo left Yuni and walked out of her room.

Yuni crying. He was confused and did not know. Did Cahyo think it meant anything? Is Cahyo jealous? Did she not deserve to wear that dress? Does he look cheap? So many questions revolved around Yuni's head, and she had no idea what the answer was.

After tired of crying, Yuni immediately took off the dress and kept it in her wardrobe. Although it could not be repaired anymore, it was at least the first dress that Cahyo had bought for her, and she did not want to throw it away in vain even though it had been damaged even once.

Almost early in the morning, Cahyo went inside his room and saw the face. Her slightly swollen eyes seemed to allow her to cry for quite a while.

Cahyo swept that pale cheek with the back of her right hand. She didn't know why she did that, which she knew she just didn't like to see Yuni laugh with the foreign men out there.
