"Geez I overslept."
Alsava woke up in a chair. The girl glanced at the sleeping Roman following her, Roman's occasionally writhing body looking uncomfortable.
Alsava was still staring fixedly at the man whom others knew was her husband, the girl glanced at Roman's feet who still could not walk without the help of a cane.
The guilt of dragging the man into his difficult life made Alsava suddenly feel tight and shed tears.
"I'm sorry for making your life come, '" he said.
Alsava breathes deeply and then exhales slowly. His mind was staring far and wide about the debt he had on this foreign man before him.
He knew it would be difficult to repay his debt which was not small even though he had worked very hard in the village. The money he had made all this time was just enough to eat everyday and pay for Tedi's school fees.
Ever thought of returning to the city and looking for work, but seeing Roman condition that has not been able to walk makes it unable to freely move. If in the village, sometimes you can ask one of the neighboring children to take care of Roman when he has to work, only being given a salary of five thousand is also done.
But if in the city, the Alsava know all there is nothing free and easy. With a heavy heart Alsava did have to change his plan and stay in the village longer, at least until Roman could walk alone.
Roman's body wriggled again, this time the man's eyes were slightly opened, Alsava immediately turned his face away and wiped away the trace of his tears. Roman mustn't know what he's feeling right now. A serious dilemma because of his own actions.
"You're awake?" asked Roman in a hoarse voice.
Alsava nodded while smiling faintly.
"We move to the room so Bang be more comfortable," asked Alsava. Roman nodded and then stood up. Alsava painstakingly helped Roman walk and helped her husband lie on the bed.
"Sleep Bang" said Alsava, enveloping half of Roman's body. The man frowned then blocked Alsava's wrist as he was about to get up.
"Where are you going?" tanya Roman was less friendly. Alsava smiled faintly in response.
"You want to buy food that was loved the same Tini ma'am afraid to eat rats or in the ants."
Roman nodded and then released his hand.
Alsava calmly returned to the living room and took the parcel and headed for the kitchen, meticulously moving all the food into the bushel and then closing it tightly and storing it in a safe place. It's good to have breakfast and a Roman snack tomorrow morning, he thought.
"Have you?" roman asked as Alsava reentered the room. Apparently the man was still not asleep, there was something he wanted to tell his wife and could not wait for tomorrow.
"Why hasn't my brother slept?" Alsava inching to lie next to Roman and then raised the blanket to half his body.
"Someone wants you to talk to."
"What?" Alsava yawned widely and began to close his eyelids.
The cup!
Alsava's eyes opened wide as a kiss Roman gave to his lips without warning. Alsava's face froze, his eyes gnashing many times trying to digest the situation.
"Abang said he wanted to talk, why would he want to be left asleep again?" roman asked casually as if nothing had happened.
This guy just casually stole my first kiss.. Oh noooo my first kiss!
Alsava could only scold unwillingly inwardly, feeling very sluggish for having lost the first kiss he had been keeping for the man he loved.
"Why is your face so tense?" roman asked with a smile, Alsava just shook his head slowly and chose to turn his face in the other direction.
"Don't tell me it was our first kiss? Uh it's not a kiss but a kiss" Roman said, chuckling. Alsava did not like the direction of Roman.
"Kok's angry? We are married so papa dong Abang so to you?"
"No need to talk about it, you want to say what you can't wait for tomorrow?"
Choosing to divert the conversation with a more important than discussing the issue of intimacy of husband and wife relationships.
"Abang wants to come looking for money," said Roman seriously, the man tilted his body and focused his head with one hand.
"You help me find money how to do it, it's my brother at home just let me find money" said Alsava lightly.
Instantly Roman's face turned grim, as a man his self-esteem hurt. He was offended that Alsava underestimated him. Alsava who saw the change in facial expression Roman gelapan.
"Emh. sorry Bang I don't mean that,-" Rushed to give an explanation but not Roman let.
"Why? Now you're married to a crippled, troublesome man?" roman asked unfriendlylyly venting the annoyance he felt.
"It's not just,-"
"That's your husband, the head of the household but why are you such a trivialization of your brother's existence!" The sound of Roman rising made Alsava swallow his saliva heavily.
"Sorry Bang" said Alsava, who said he felt sorry to see Roman sitting up with his hunting breath, Alsava knew the man was trying to control his emotions.
Alsava slowly got up and hesitantly hugged Roman from behind and rested his head on the man's back.
For a moment Alsava just silently permeated the thing that he did not dare to do all this time, there was a sense of comfort that Alsava felt now. Inhaling deeply the scent of Roman's body that somehow smelled good even without perfume even once.
Geez, really hugable this guy. Focus Va! Focus up!
Alsava shook his head slowly then slowly let go of his embrace after feeling the rhythm of Roman's breathing return to normal.
Roman turned around and grabbed Alsava's body and hugged him tightly. The man sighed violently and then poked his head in the niche of Alsava's neck making the girl feel tense as well as amused simultaneously.
Ah eah. why is this a man. What if I were a baper? Try this real man my husband.
"Sorry," said Roman, getting Alsava's mind back on track. The girl blinked trying to digest her husband's words.
Alsava slowly broke down his embrace and smiled faintly at Roman who was now looking at him closely. The girl tried to display a calm facial expression.
"Why do you apologize, it's not me who's wrong for making you offended?"
Roman shook his head and clasped Alsava's hand tightly.
"I'm sorry for making you bear all these living expenses and hardships yourself. Please let Brother come along, we share the burden together as a couple."
Dada Alsava thumped loudly hearing Roman's words just now, the girl's heart rippled at the Roman's eyes that seemed to hypnotize her.
If it's the way, it's fixed me baper!
"Yes." Yeah."
Only that word was capable of Alsava giving in response because his brain was suddenly empty now.

"How's it?"
A middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged and glued a cell phone to his right ear. He silently listened to the person there explain something he wanted to know well.
There was a faint smile rising on his face hearing the thing he wanted to hear from his confidant.
"Don't just watch it from afar."
The man said calmly and then closed the call unilaterally.
"Whose phone is it?"
The middle-aged man turned the chair then stared flatly at the person before him.
