Me And My Man

98. Curiosity

Reyna spends her time helping Mbok Nah prepare dinner. Instead of being unable to rest because Bimo followed the sleeping God into the room.

Reyna steals a glance towards Mbok Nah during their grappling in the kitchen. Reyna believes this woman must have worked here long enough, a sense of curiosity about Bimo in childhood tickled her suddenly.

"Well, how long has it been working with Alex?" ask Reyna on the sidelines of their activities.

"Well, it's been a long time since Mr. Alex got married. 20 years"

"Oh yeah.. Um if Brother Bimo himself since when to stay here?"

"From my teens, since my mother died. SMP if not wrong. Yeah, like my own son"

"Nakal don't his little Mbok?" Reyna glanced at Mbok Nah while continuing to saute the seasoning.

"What yes.. Mas Bimo was naughty, often hit even the same Sir Alex. But yes, it is repeated again. His name is also a boy" Mbok Nah thrust a basket of fresh spinach that has been weaned and washed clean "Starting obedient since the late Mother died, maybe because of pity see Father often sad"

"How long has she been dead?" Reyna poured spinach into a large skillet stirring and then mixing it with coconut milk.

"Yes, about 6 years. Since then Mas Bimo rarely went home at night, not rich before like not to go home instead"

"Oh yeah??" Reyna glanced at Mbok Nah who switched to chopping tomatoes and green chili "Where is Mbok if Kak Bimo does not come home?" tanyanya full of search.

"Yes to his apartment Mbak Lid. "the middle-aged woman jerks and turns to Reyna "Ehmm.. Mbok does not know where. Anyway Mas Bimo always got angry Dad if the night is not home" the woman was wrong.

Reyna snorted, obviously she heard Mbok Nah about to say someone's name. Reyna doesn't know enough about Bimo, who she knows very briefly, Reyna never knows how many times the man has been in close contact with women.

"Ehm, his girlfriend is Kak Bimo a lot of Mbok?" Reyna turned off the stove and took out a pile of bamboo baskets and cleaned the smoked fish inside.

"Well, it's a symbol. Sister Reyna should know better" this time Mbok Nah answered more carefully.

Mbok Nah did not answer, he chose to be busy cleaning wet garbage scattered in the kitchen.

"Let's just bembok.. Reyna's sister takes a shower" the woman approaches and takes over Reyna's hand-held sotil.

"Mbok Nah hasn't answered but.. " Reyna still keeps the sotil in her hand.

"Halah.yes most of Mas Bimo school. Satria trus Mas Andre.. "

"The female Mbok means" Reyna was a little anxious.

"Just like Reyna's mom is the most special for Mas Bimo" Mbok Nah flicked Reyna's arm slowly and took the sotil in his hand.

Reyna gave in just like that, she set foot into the room while grumbling. Arghh why also he had to nosy ask, just now he is being hunted curiosity.

He saw Bimo who was still sleeping soundly, one hand dangling down the side of the bed. Five years is not a short time to spend life alone. If there is Bram who had filled his heart, it is not natural that there is someone also in Bimo's life.

Reyna stared intently at the man sleeping in front of her. Bimo actually looks more mature at his age now especially with his position as director of marketing replacing the position of Om Alex. Isn't it natural that many women are aiming to be his companion, a brilliant man in a career at his age who is relatively young compared to his colleagues.

Reyna sat on the edge of the bed, touching the thick eyebrows that framed the beautiful face. Unexpectedly the owner squirmed and opened his eyes, then smiled sweetly.

"Why? I'm a handsome one, right?" Bimo shuffled and placed his head on Reyna's lap, staring at Reyna from below.

"Beautiful when you have a bath, let's wake up the gods and then take a bath. I'm gonna take a shower" Reyna shifted Bimo's head and headed for the bathroom.

Reyna let the cold water flutter her head and body, trying to drive away her curiosity about Bimo's past.
