Edwin pulled the arm of Mei who was carrying a large bottle of water, both of them stepped over while holding back a laugh. Then the door opened and James called out to Edwin.
"Eeed, Meeeiii.why do you walk until you want to run away," James really felt bad because he came out of Al's room and his clothes were buttoned open.
Mei and Edwin came back to Al and James laughing.
"No papa continue, stay here, it's a room full of memories for us" Edwin saw James' bloody index finger.
"Ah this you, no, this is my index tablet hit by the thorn earlier, that'uu tree near my room, I accidentally touch, it turns thorny, I to Al want to ask anything to cure this, I want to ask for anything to cure this, eh same Al even put my index finger directly into his mouth, so I forbid," James explained with a reddened face and Al who was still laughing beside Edwin.
"I just want to help get rid of the blood later yes I spit, because if allowed to get sicker," said Al gave an excuse.
"James's voice is terrible it sounds baby, Aaaal don't. Well we think you guys are..," Edwin laughed again. James and Al's face flushed red and Mei laughed at James who just scratched his head and punched Edwin's arm. Mei gives a water bottle to put in Al's room.
"Let's take James to the dining room, have some red medicine or clean it up first with an antiseptic," May took James and the four of them to the dining room.

Early in the morning there was preparation for the summit. They will head to Edwin's villa, a hereditary relic from his mother. After all looks ready they go to the car, of course with Minda bu also, initially Minda reluctant, but Edwin invites and mamamya, Mama, long ago, Minda did not visit the villa owned by his family which he had handed over ownership to Edwin.
A tiring trip because of a weekend like this must be a traffic jam. Three hours they finally arrived. With the help of drivers they lower the travel bag and other luggage.
Even though during the day the air at the top is very cold. Ms. Minda immediately headed to the kitchen to prepare the afternoon, assisted by Meisya who is deft, fortunately Al and James are also not difficult to eat, Mei only prepares chines food for her guests, Mei only prepares food for her guests, for dinner they've prepared will burn the fish.
"May if tired of rest, let the mother who works, after all there is Ningsih ma'am who helps mother, oh yes the fish for later tonight are ready huh Bu Ningsih?" ask Minda to the man she trusted to keep the villa owned by her family.
"It's mom, it's ready, I put it in the freezer, my husband is looking to the market, big bu fishnya, there are shrimp same squid also like it, like, I have prepared the seasoning to burn the fish later tonight," said Ms. Ningsih while showing the fish she had prepared, then entered back into the freezer.
When she was ready, Mei went into her room, she saw Edwin sleeping, Mei sitting next to her husband and kissing Edwin's face. Edwin opened his eyes, returning Mei's kiss.
"Ih even the older brother who became more, let's have lunch first, pity his guests, they have not been followed to his room," Mei changed her clothes with house clothes but still dressed thick because of the piercing cold.

James knocks on Al's room, and opens the door a little, looking at Al who has changed his clothes and is seen wearing his jacket. James approached Al and stood near him
"Let's go to the dining room, Ed called me earlier," said James, watching Al tie his long hair to his neck, turning to James and smiling.
Very cold it turns out here, even though tropical Indonesia turns out there are certain places that are cold like gini," said Al who suddenly embraced James, James was silent, just silent, until Al looked up at him.
"I'm cold, you're insensitive, cook you don't want to hurt me?" ask Al. James just smiled and hugged Al.
"And you've got your jacket on" said James slowly staring at Al's face up close.
"Jaaames kissed me," Al sounded whining. James kissed Al on the forehead and Al hit James on the chest slowly.
"Aaaah is not there," whined Al again.
"We eat first, have been waiting for them yuk, later if I want to kiss, not now," James whispered softly along with Mei who opened the door of Al's room and looked startled and took a few steps back.
"I'm sorry, I don't know if there's James, I'm in because Al's room door is a little open," Mei held back a laugh as the two of her looked shocked to take off her arms. James and Al look embarrassed, they walk behind Mei towards the dining room without speaking.
When eating Al and James look silent
"Come on, Al, James, why are you so timid" said Edwin who ate voraciously.
Madam Minda brought the side dish closer to Al and James. And offered to add side dishes.
"Yes, you guys, come on eat, just relax, no papa here you practice hugs and kisses, no one saw, I was not on purpose," said Mei with a laugh, Edwin looked at Al and James and laughed at his wife who shut up because the food was almost scattered.
"Ah y'all always are," James shook his head, continuing to eat.
After the meal Mei and Al brought dirty dishes and glasses to the kitchen. They followed Edwin and James who were seen already sitting facing the rice fields of the residents below, a beautiful view, because they saw everything from the balcony of the second floor.
"Sit here baby, wait a little longer even though the afternoon mist slowly descends, James you there the same Al, I want to sit with my wife whose stomach is getting fatter," and Mei rested her body on Ed who was greeted with hugs and kisses.
James moved the seat with a smile followed by Al sitting docked beside him. James looked clumsy to feel Al docked and leaned his head against his shoulder.
"James you are not sensitive nyget anyway, this is cold air, tuh Al until close his jacket and close to you, hug his shoulder what how, duh ni child need training first what?" Edwin acted as if threatening James but held back a laugh, hesitatingly James hugged Al's shoulder and tightened his chest.
"Well that's dong, you feel warm James," Mei chimed in with Edwin's speech.
Slowly the fog descended, getting thicker, limiting the view and the more piercing cold, but not for Edwin and Mei as the two actually hugged, but not for the time being, while Al was getting tighter hugging James and James who felt uncomfortable with sitting.
Al pulled James by the arm and clasped his hand, James felt Al's cold hand and slowly stretched his grip, as he walked down and Al grew more and more anxious to look at James from the side as he extended his legs.

James knocked back Al's room at dinner. There was no confirmation, James had to open it and still saw Al curled up in bed.
"Let's eat, from earlier the fragrant fish that was burned and nyampe to my room," James asked. Al still fell asleep while staring at James.
"You don't want me to?" al asked with a hopeful face. James looked down and kissed Al. Al hits James' arm slowly.
"It must be, not there, on the lips" Al said exasperatedly.
"No, I'm a normal man, even though I don't fully understand how I feel about you, but if I get caught on the line I'm afraid of going over the line, I don't want to hurt you anymore, if one day I really love you, we get married, I'll do whatever you ask," James looked at Al who looked shocked then seen Al's eyes glazed over and immediately hugged James.
"I'll wait for you to love me, I'll wait, from the beginning I see you, I'm sure you can make me comfortable and calm," Al's voice rang out. James stroked Al's hair. And took off his embrace, looked at Al's face up close and wiped Al's tears.
"I'm going to learn to love you Al, only I don't know when I really love you," James put his lips close to Al's lips and slowly rubbed Al's lower lip and pulverized her with emotion, James felt Al's lips tremble and Al's tears flowing.
Al let go of James' kiss and hugged him tightly, so he cried. James was confused and feeling guilty.
"I'm sorry Al" whispered James worried. Al shook his head slowly.
"Thank you James, thank you, you don't papa even though I've been with others, even to the point of miscarriage?" James covered Al's lips with his finger.
"Here you go, it's the past, we'll face the future together, as long as you wait for me, wait for I'm absolutely sure you love you" James breathed heavily.
James let go of his embrace and took Al immediately to the dining room.

Mei looks at Al with a frown upon noticing Al's puffy eyes, Mei codes Ed with her gaze pointing towards Al. Edwin momentarily stupefied and spread his shoulders.
Bu Minda also looks shocked when she sees Al who looks down more as if hiding her puffy eyes.
"Come ayooo enjoyed, this is shrimp, squid, grouper grouper, the same fish what is this yaaa... hmmm delicious loh spice, this sambelnya, some spicy, some are not spicy, some are not spicy, come on Al sayaaang," Mum Minda offered Al a variety of foods that look reluctant, Al tried to smile and James finally took rice and side dishes for Al.
Edwin and Mei glanced at each other withholding a smile, really tumben see James who responded without being told. Sometimes he looked at Al who was also staring at James while eating.
While tidying the dinner table together with Al while James and Ed were preparing corn to burn, Mei tried asking.
"Sorry Al, you, you fought with James?" mei asked as she sat down and pulled Al sitting beside her. Al's eyes were back in tears.
"James told me I'd learn to love Mei, I'm so happy, and she kissed me so for the first time, I always start."
Mei looks happy and holds Al's hand.
"I always pray for your happiness, she's a kind and gentle person Al, I'm sure you'll be happy with James, try, hang on" Mei saw Al who nodded and hugged Mei.
Suddenly James and Edwin stood in front of the two of them.
"Let's mothers, we start burning corn, ready to spread for any taste," Edwin invited while bending his body.
"I'm not Ed's mothers yet" Al said slowly.
"In a moment, Aaaal, I said this gini, challenged James to make you the mother of his children immediately" and Edwin's laughter filled the room, bu Minda and bu Ningsih were just a head-scarf looking from the kitchen.
And that night was spent with a corn burning event. Edwin and Mei see James slowly starting to treat Al more than usual. Because sometimes both Ed and Mei feel stuck and anxious with James's indifference to Al, while Al is more often seen to hold back sad and disappointed because of James' treatment
***
Early in the morning they were surprised by Edwin who was in a hurry banging on his mother's room, Mama opened the door with a confused look
"What's up Ed?"
"Mei maaaa, Mei groaned holding her stomach," Edwin dragged his mother into Edwin's room.
Madam Minda hurriedly stepped up and entered near Mei whose forehead was filled with sweat.
"What do you feel, it's still the seventh month, right?" ask Mama Minda. Meisya was unable to answer he just pursed his lips, shook his head slowly while hissing withstanding the pain.
"Eeed hurry, let's go to the nearest hospital..
