A bell rang as Sunday came out of the bathroom.
"It must be Faris." Instead of going to the door to open the door, Sunday instead went to the dressing table beside his bed. Make sure there's no more rubbing in his eyes. After being sure his eyes were free, only Sunday walked towards the door. And sure enough, after the door was opened what was seen was Faris with an angelic smile. Sunday's stomach suddenly relapsed. There's a strange sensation there. Like there's something flying to and fro in his stomach.
"Come to my aunt's place."
"I'll change my clothes first."
"OKAY. I'm waiting for." Faris was about to step in.
"Eits, where are you going?"
"Lake in." Faris's face was plain.
"Hey, you think I'll let you in as long as I change?" Sunday grumbling.
"Why indeed?" Faris smiled smirked towards him. "I don't want to see you change clothes either."
"No. You just wait outside. It seems you can't be trusted."
"Oh yeah? Have I been rude to you all this time?"
"No, but I have to take into account the worst. So wait here." Sunday shut the door again. Faris just smiled looking at Sunday's behavior like that.
A few minutes later Sunday came out of his room. Under-knee skirt suit with flower design keci blouse with button cuff. A little retro but pretty sweet.
When he opened the door, Sunday saw Faris brsandar on the wall while playing his phone.
"Come on." Take Sunday while closing the door and locking it. Faris turned his head and found a fresh-faced Sunday with a slight swab of powder and lipgloss. Then move from where it rests.
"Where are you going?" Ask Faris. Sunday scrunched his forehead.
"Are we not going to your brother's?"
"No, I just ordered a meal to be delivered to your room. So we'll eat first. I'm so hungry. You must be hungry too, right?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Then they entered the room again. Faris grabbed the remote and turned on the tv. Sunday took the phone from his bag. No message for him. There are only messages from group chat.
"Your family's staying here too, right?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Why didn't I see any of them?"
"They've been at my uncle's house since this morning."
"Oh..." That's all Sunday said.
Bell rings. Faris stood up from her seat to open the door. He believes the food order has arrived. San was right, when the door opened, someone in a hotel uniform was standing next to a trolley full of dishes.
After placing all the orders, Faris gave him a tip and the hotel employee came out.
"Eat." Take Faris. Sunday nodded and started to take his food.
🌸🌸🌸
When entering the fence, it has been seen the various activities in the large victorian design house. There's a lot of people there. The car was parked neatly on that wide page. There are about 10 cars. The home page is extensive. With a big house there makes it clear the owner is not an ordinary person.
The car stopped at another car. Sunday came down after Faris got out of his car. He came to Sunday and took his hand.
Instantly felt his stomach nauseous. Recurrence of his disease. It was as if the butterflies inside were moving here and there as they pleased. But this is his purpose here as Faris' girlfriend. So he wouldn't refuse if Faris held his hand like that.
Entering the main door of the house, there were many people chatting with each other. There are kids running around and playing. It really is a big family gathering.
"Hi. You finally came too. Why are you late?" Sapa a young man who seemed to be not far from Faris.
"I'm not late, but you're coming too soon." Reply Faris.
"Hahaha, you're still like that." The man punched Faris on the shoulder.
"Who is this?"
"Sun, this is my cousin Toni." Tony reached out his hand. Sunday greeted him.
"Sunday."
"You must have been born on Sunday."
"Yes." Yeah." Sunday smiled and was used to hearing it every time he met someone.
"Ris, here." Call Mami Faris from the second floor of the house. Faris left her cousin and took Sunday to her mother. Faris' hand did not escape at all from holding Sunday.
"What's up, Mi?" Faris is in front of her mom right now.
"Sunday should try this kebaya." Mami Faris attaches a sage-colored kebaya brucat to the body of Sunday. Sunday was a bit awkward.
"Make what, Mi?" Ask Faris in surprise.
"All families must wear dresscode."
"What Sunday should be too, Mi?"
"This Mami's. We're just dating." Bisik Faris's.
"Sunday, tomorrow morning there will be a make up artist coming to your room. So be prepared." Mami Faris stroked Sunday's hair and paid no heed to Faris.
"Good aunt." Sunday felt bad to be treated that way. Their relationship was just a show. But how else, he could only comply. Faris also resigned.
"Oh yeah, Dian's in her room. You don't want to see him?" My mom asked him to talk again.
"Of course I have to make a calculation with him. How could he have gone before me so soon. I'm his old brother." Then Faris took Sunday to the room at the end of the hallway. Door's open.
From the door that was not closed it looks someone who is tidying up his dressing table. Faris kept knocking at the open door for someone inside to notice her arrival. A girl looked.
"Sister Faris..." The girl then rushed towards Faris and hugged him.
"I heard from Aunt Goddess sister is coming. I'm glad that brother really came."
"Of course I came. How could I miss a moment where I wanted so badly to hit you because I was expecting me." The girl named Dian, Faris' cousin immediately laughed.
"I didn't mean to follow you, but you were very slow. So I decided to 'depart' first." The girl still smiled.
"Ehh, who is this, brother? Why not introduce him to me?"
"He, your sister-in-law's candidate." Reply Faris glanced at Sunday. Hearing the name Faris to himself made his face meet red immediately. There was a strange feeling coming again. The butterfly flies around its hull.
"I'm Dian." Dian reached out her hand.
"Sunday." Sunday shook Dian's hand and returned her smile.
"So, when's it coming after me?"
"Not anytime soon, he's still in college."
"Oh yeah? Nice."
"Good?" Faris frowned as if asking.
"Yes, you have to wait for him to graduate. Don't rush to marry her."
"What if I married her when she was in college?" Faris' question was enough to shock Sunday. He asked me all those unimportant things.
"Of course it will be troublesome to take care of you and take care of her college assignments, not to mention if she you make pregnant and have children later. Look, how much harder the job is." Obviously Dian. Sunday was getting more and more horrified at their conversation. But she just silently listened with a wry smile that adorned her lips.
"Well, that seems challenging enough." Faris developed her smile. "How, should we try it?" Faris now whispered to Sunday but the whisper was still heard by Dian and smiled at the lovers in front of him.
"No... No.." - No..." Sunday quickly rejected Faris's ridiculous idea. How could he think so while they were even just pretending to be dating.
"Then I'll wait for you." Reply Faris then while stroking Sunday's hair. Sunday like nausea but don't want to vomit. The butterflies in his stomach flew again.
"Let's go down, everyone seems to be waiting for me." Take Dian. Faris and Sunday followed to get out of the room.
Faris was still chatting with his other brother. Sunday just sat in the corner of the living room room of the house while looking at his cellphone. Read a novel in noveltoon. Being in a crowd that doesn't know anyone is boring.
Sunday knew that papi and mami Faris were in the living room of the house with the other elders. Novi and her husband returned to the hotel about half an hour ago because Rafael insisted on going to the hotel. Maybe Rafael was bored as he was.
Suddenly a phone came in.
Victor Calling's...
Sunday went out to the side terrace to avoid the noise that could interfere with his hearing.
"Hallo... What's up, brother?" Sapa Sunday's.
"Where are you?"
"I'm out of town."
"Oh well." Victor then hung up the phone. Sunday thought for a moment. Then why would Victor call him if he only asked that question.
"Who?" Faris is behind Sunday. Sunday's shortest.
"Ahh, just surprise." Sunday held his chest.
"Why call secretly?"
"Silently?" Sunday was amazed by Faris's words.
"Yes, call from whom until you get it here."
"Oh my God, call from Victor."
"Let's go back to the hotel." Faris left. Sunday trying to remember if he spoke wrongly? Or did he do something so bad that Faris looked angry and disliked like that.
After saying goodbye to everyone, they got out of the house and entered the car. Before leaving the house, Mami Faris had reminded Sunday again to wake up early because a make up artist would come to her room. Mami and Papi Faris themselves will not return to the hotel because they are still chatting with other brothers.
In the car during the trip, Faris' mouth was locked. Not saying a word. Sunday was getting confused and did not know how to. The 15-minute drive from Dian's house to the hotel was very long. Until he got out of his car, Faris was still silent and did not say anything.
Sunday came to the door of his room. Faris seemed to stop as well.
"Sleep." That's all Faris said. Then he himself went into his room. Sunday really did not understand Faris' strange attitude.
Just Sunday closing the door to his room, the bell rang. Sunday turned around and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, Faris instantly rushed towards him and quickly hugged his body until it was slightly pushed back. The heart of Sunday felt instantly it also stopped beating.
