Me And My Man

38. Omens

Almost 2 weeks Reyna was like a golden bird in a cage, Gandhi did not let her out of the house at all. Whatever he asked Gandhi to do, except for one thing, a cell phone. Since her return home, Reyna rarely talks to the two men, only little Adam comforts her every weekend.

Everyday Reyna only helps mbok Sri do housework, middle-aged women who have served dozens of years in this house. At night the house felt empty when all the workers in the house went home to each of them. As usual, Reyna locked herself in a room watching television.

The house was silent as Reyna stepped into the bathroom about to pee, her face restless as she exited the bathroom. He secretly cursed pink patches in his underwear early markers his monthly guests had to come at night. Inevitably he had to ask Mas Gandhi for help to buy him a sanitary pad.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Mas Gandhi's face was looking out of his room

"Why Rey?"

"Solicit please buy a pad"

The man's face turned clumsy, for life he had never touched let alone bought the womanhood, even though it was his ex-wife herself.

"Who has no stock in this house?"he asked stupidly

"Mas Gandhi? Or Pakdhe? Mmmm maybe mbok Sri who use?" sahut Reyna's

Gandhi snatched the car contacts on his bedroom desk and sauntered out, only a few steps back

"Come Rey!"

Reyna flabbergasted ehhh I mean

"I'm coming?" tanyanya pointed at herself

Gandhi nodded "I am ashamed" he admitted

Reyna's eyes widened, she hurried to walk in Gandhi's footsteps

It was as if the villager who first stepped on Reyna city smiled a happy smile all the way. Arriving at the minimarket she Reyna went straight to the shelf looking for pads

"Buy for the next two months" Gandhi ordered

huhh though Reyna hopes next month he can come out again for the same reason

Reyna coolly enjoying ice cream in his hand on the way home, Gandhi just glanced while driving. Tucked guilt in his heart, if at that time he could persuade the Father not to accept the request of Mr. Wiji sure fate Reyna would not be what it is today.

The car stopped and entered the yard. Gandhi restrained Reyna's wrist, which was about to come out of the chair next to him.

"Rey, I'd like to apologize"

Reyna sat back down

"Rey, I'm sure there's a nice guy for you"

there's no need to bother thinking it's Reyna's inner

"I hope three months is enough for you to forget about that man. I want you to be happy with your own choices. Patience is!"

Reyna just nodded, she had no choice but to obey Gandhi's will.

One morning Reyna woke up with a dizzy head, her limp felt boneless. His stomach was nauseous as if he was swaying on the ship, remembering if he had eaten wrong yesterday .Her body was lethargic when stepping on the kitchen taking a drink to refresh her body.

Seeing the back of mbok Sri from a distance in front of the stove, Reyna's nose was suddenly disturbed by the smell of smelling fine spices. He turned and took a thousand steps into the bathroom when he felt his entrails had risen up to the esophagus. Spewed all over his stomach, nausea continues to attack until the clear liquid that feels bitter in his mouth comes out. Rey's cold sweat came out, her knees even felt limp.

Mbok Sri who heard the rowdy finished the smooth seasoning first and then followed to the bathroom.

"Sir Reyna why squat in the bathroom?" the woman helped Reyna stand up

"Wind in the wind" Reyna replied

"Change clothes first mbak, eat this out so that the stomach is not empty. Later mbok kerik"

Reyna nodded

The same incident happened again two days later when Reyna stepped on the kitchen and smelled a fine seasoning. Reyna began to think something was wrong with her body, there was indeed an allergy to the smell of stir fry, yesterday it did not matter when she accompanied Sri cooking vegetable soup.

It was the weekend that little Adam visited, the night before as usual Mama May called him on Mas Gandhi's phone asking what to bring. Reyna just wanted to bring lontong opor and ice cream.

The next day Reyna deliberately held back hunger in order to enjoy the opor lontong of her order which she was now pouring into the bowl.

"Aren't you satisfied Rey's second breakfast this time?" ma'am May asked to glance at the wall clock that showed 10 o'clock

"Reyna hasn't had breakfast yet, deliberately waiting for this"

May frowned "Since when did you become okay with breakfast coconut milk?Lontong Opor again, the food that you only eat fitting Lebaran, even forced because there is no other menu"

Reyna stopped feeding her food, she recalled when she last ate a lontong opor, lebaran last year. Ahh no, yes one month ago with Bimo his son was very fond of this food. The food he didn't like and now he suddenly wants it to be like cravings.

Reyna put down the spoon and stopped eating, her hands reflexively touched her stomach.Just Rey don't think that no-no, maybe just your longing feelings on Bimo so you get carried away wanting a poppy.
