My Cold Little Wife

BAYU

Karina kekeh wants to finish her cotton sugar. His eyes looked at Arion annoyed with mixed expectations. Unable to bear it, Arion relented and waited for Karina to finish her cotton sugar.

"This cotton candy won't make my teeth hurt. Sweeteners used are not artificial sweeteners but real sugar plus honey and also coloring is also a natural dye. So this is safe to consume in large quantities" Karina explained after eating the last part of her cotton sugar.

"Where do you know? You're the first one here?" ask Arion.

Karina chuckled softly at Arion's question.

"Yes, obviously I know. You are the one who missed the information. Before your marriage I came here almost once a year" replied Karina with a sweet laugh.

"really?" search Arion.

"Hmm. .. hasten to buy all that cotton sugar," Karina said encouraging Arion.

"But for what? You can't kill that much?" ask Arion again.

"You're right. Just buy it later I explain," Karina replied encouraging Arion again.

Arion walked back to the stand with a fixed view of Karina.

Brukkka ….

Arion grimaced rubbing his waist as it hit the cotton sugar stand. Karina laughed at him. Arion immediately ordered all the remaining cotton sugar.

Of course the seller is very happy. Just two hours of sales have been bought out. They quickly made the remaining cotton sugar with the help of two friends. Not up to half an hour 50 sticks of cotton sugar of various shapes have been completed.

Arion immediately paid for it and walked back to his bike with a few sticks of cotton sugar followed by 3 people who helped him carry the remaining cotton sugar.

"A ready. How then?" asked Arion who had trouble holding cotton sugar.

"We went to that orphanage. I saw from earlier the orphanage boy look at the cotton sugar in my hand earlier with a wanted look but it looks like the child is scared," explained Karina pointed to one of the buildings located a few meters from the stand.

"Alright come on," replied Arion smiling. They then walked towards the orphanage that looked worn out rather than the surrounding buildings.

The fences made of wood began to weathered eaten by termites, the color of the walls of the building that had faded and porous eaten increasingly add to the impression of concern. 

"Was no one concerned about the condition of these orphanage children?" karina asked one of the cotton sugar sellers who was behind her.

"We don't know much, miss. Because we only sell here today," replied the seller politely. Karina nodded in understanding.

Upon entering the orphanage grounds, they were greeted with frightened gazes of the orphanage children which made Karina frown. 

"Hey boy, can you meet the person in charge of this orphanage?" karina asked kindly to one of the fat-haired children.

The boy nodded and immediately ran inside. The other children stood quietly watching them. He came out with a woman about 40 years old. His face looked wrinkled and tired as well. Can be seen faintly his eyes as if he had cried.

"Yes, I am the manager of this home. If you can tell who I'm talking to?" ask the lady kindly.

"Include me Karina. This is my husband" Karina answered extending her hand.

"I'm Marisa. Greetings Miss, young master."

Marisa returned Karina's hand and shook hands with each other.

"Can I help you Miss?" tanya is friendly Marisa.

"Hmm ... if I may know why these orphanage children are so frightened to see me? Am I scary? And another one why isn't this parlor being renovated?" ask Karina wonder. Marisa's face turned grim.

"Let's talk in my room, Miss," Marisa said.

"OKAY. Arion please share the cotton sugar, yes" Karina's pinta to Arion.

Arion replied with a smile while pointing his thumb. Marisa immediately went into her room followed by Karina.

Arriving in her room, Marisa immediately answered all Karina's questions.

It turns out that the orphanage that stands on an area of 200 square meters is a gift from one of the companies that once owed Marisa.

But after the owner of the company died, his heirs reclaimed the orphanage's land.

Every day they threaten and terrorize the children of the home. That is what makes the children of the home afraid of the new person because they think Karina is the one who wants to hurt them.

"What is the name of the company that owes you?" asked Karina curiously.

"ST Company" replied Marisa.

"st Company? Doesn't that company belong to Arsuf Stephanson? And to my knowledge he only has one adopted son?" asked Karina to investigate the truth revealed by Marisa.

ST Company is a company built by his adoptive father, Mr. Suf aka Asruf Stephanson.

And ten years ago the company he had combined with the company he founded himself.

"You're right. Now that the name is KS TIRTA GRUB, I wonder why such an unmerciful company is the biggest company?" answered Marisa in flames.

Karina held tightly to the glass in her hand. His blood boiled for a moment. 

"Do you know who I am?" asked coldly Karina stared intently at Marisa.

Marisa shuddered to feel the suffocating air from Karina's body. 

"Isn't your name Karina ...," answered Marisa but it was cut off by Karina.

"Karina Stephanson Tirta Sanjaya. Owner of KS TIRTA GRUB. The adopted daughter of Arsuf Stephanson and I reiterate I do not know about this land dispute. And I never once ordered my people to reclaim this land, Karina said, squeezing the glass in her hand to the ground.

Blood started to come out from Karina's palm. Marisa shut her mouth in disbelief at what Karina said.

"Then ...where did the people who terrorized us come from?" ask confused Marisa. His hand touched Karina's.

"The naughty rats that must be immediately eradicated," exasperated Karina.

Marisa was silent and immediately stood up to take the medicine box because she could not bear to see more and more blood dripping onto the floor.

Marisa returned with the medicine box in her hand and began to clean the broken glass that had stuck in Karina's palm with alcohol. Karina was silent and did not refuse.

While in the orphanage yard, Arion played with the children of the orphanage cheerfully. At first they are scared, but after Arion gives them cotton sugar and acts funny manage to make them sticky with Arion.

"Hmm .. Brother wants a story," said Arion sitting on the front porch floor.

"What story, brother? Oh yes, the same sister was beautiful, yes" said one of the boys with glasses.

"Beautiful sister is Karina, Bayu. She's Brother's wife" replied Arion.

He sat down with a 5-year-old girl named Amel. The sugar is half left.

"Oh .. wife .." exclaimed Bayu nodding.

"But pretty-beauty brother, how cold is his carrier?" ask Bayu again.

Bayu is a child who can understand the circumstances or character of people with one look. His son also had great curiosity.

"Sutt .. don't say that. The lioness comes out" Arion advised.

"real brother? I tried yes ...," said Bayu directly into the room Marisa.

Arion tries to prevent the other orphanage children whining for Arion to stay seated.

"Good luck," murmured Arion.

"What did you want to tell me? Next dong," pinta Amel.

"Hmm .. Brother wants to tell you about sister's wife. I didn't like my sister's wife. But as time went on, slowly Brother felt comfortable and finally Big Brother fell in love. But dear at this time love Brother clapped one hand. Karina doesn't love and likes her sister" Arion's short story goes.

"Have the story finished, brother? How short? Ceritain dong Kakar gorgeous reply love sister," said Amel.

"Still beautiful. You follow the story of brother until Brother managed to get the heart and love of Sister's wife" said Arion.

"OKo Lakak. We'll always doain Lakak from here so that brother's love is quickly reciprocated," Amel's spirit. Arion laughed crisply hearing that.

"Little kids know what? But thank you for your prayers ..," said Arion flicked Amel's nose.

Finally, Arion returns to play with the orphanage children. While in Marisa's room, Karina was staring flatly at Bayu. Bayu glanced at Karina fearfully. Marisa was even sweating coldly. 

***

Flashback.

Because after hearing Arion's advice, Bayu immediately entered the room without Marisa knocking on the door first and immediately shouted at Karina. 

"Beautiful sister turned into a lioness, I want to see!" shout Bayu. 

Karina and Marisa simultaneously directed their gaze towards the door. Karina's face darkened instantly.

Her hands were treated and bandaged neatly by Marisa. The glass has been cleaned. Marisa immediately approached Bayu and advised him. 

"Yes mom, but Bayu wants to see. Said Lakak handsome in front of this beautiful brother if angry will be a lioness," said plain Bayu.

"You can't do that. It's just a Bayu phrase. Apologize quickly to Karina. He was once the landowner of this home," said Marisa stroking Bayu's hair.

"That means he's a bad guy dong. Mother do not be afraid to let Bayu drive away this evil brother," cried Bayu with a waist.

His eyes looked at Karina's hate. Karina was stunned to see the hatred in Bayu's eyes. His anger was soaring not because of Bayu but William. However, trying to hold him in front of Bayu. 

Off Flashback.

"What's your name?" tanya Karina flat-backed chin.

"Miss forgive him, he's just a kid, as I told you before these kids get scared and hate when they hear about the land and the people who terrorize us, too," clearly Marisa is trying to keep Bayu from getting angry.

Karina smiled faintly and looked at Bayu asking for an answer.

"Wood. My name is Bayu" replied Bayu lyrically.

"Wood? What a beautiful name. You are brave too. But brother came here not want to take this land but build this home to be comfortable occupied," said Karina who plays her finger.

"really? Is that true? Seriously brother?" Missing was already the look of hatred narrating the twinkle of hope in Bayu's eyes. Karina smiled and nodded.

"Who said that if you were angry, you would turn into a lioness?" ask Karina to investigate.

"Big-looking brother said he's Brother's husband," Honest Bayu. Karina closed her eyes restraining emotions . 

"A-R-I-O-N here you are!!"

Karina's screams echoed throughout the parlour making Arion and the orphanage's children cover their ears.

"Mamp*s me," Arion's lyrics immediately headed for Marisa's room.

"Yes, honey?" arion answered fulfilling Karina's call.

Arion's gaze was directed at Karina's palm wrapped in bandages.

"Why hands?" arion asked frantically looking directly at Karina's hand. 

"Darling? What did you tell this little boy? You said I'd turn into a lioness, right?" tanya Karina moved her neck to the right and to the left .

"Watch your hand why?" snapped Arion.

"Straw broken glass. Now answer my question!" karina replied.

"Emm .. that's it.. I don't say that, is it Bayu?" arion's reply coded Bayu to lie. Bayu just stared innocently.

"Don't teach a child to lie. Honestly, I won't be angry" Karina said with a big smile but for Arion it was an emergency alarm. 

"Hehehe .. Karina I'm sorry, baby. Don't be angry , please .. I'll do anything so you don't get mad .. yes ..," Rayu Arion smiled sweetly at Karina.

"That's yeah? Okay I accept your offer," replied Arion nodding lightly.

"Our mother said yes ... tomorrow afternoon I came here again," said Karina immediately pulled Arion out back to their bike.

"See you later Karina's sister, Arion's sister ..," said the boys waving their hands at Arion and Karina. 

"OKAY. See you later," Karina replied, replying to their hand. Arion just nodded and started pedaling his bike away from the orphanage. Marisa stared at Arion's departure and Karina then smiled broadly.

"Mother, I want to come with Karina, Kak" Bayu told Marisa. 

"Then you must study hard. Karina's sister is the owner of KS Tirta Grub dear," said Marisa encouraging. Bayu nodded steadily.

Arion paddles his bike slowly around the city park. The sun is rising. His heart was worried because after from the home Karina's face was always pouting.

"Where else are we? Not a food hunt?" arion asked breaking the silence.

"Be. Let's go that way. There are a lot of good food stands," Karina replied pointing north.

"OKAY. Don't pout dong. The beauty faded later," Arion's seduction that made Karina instead of happy even more upset.

"Well ...," ringis Arion.

"sick tau. I'll always have your flesh pinched" complained Arion.

"Biarin," ketus Karina.

Soon they arrived at the north road along which the eyes looked, the eyes were presented with a range of food vendors' stands.

Karina's eyes sparkled for a moment. He quickly jumped off the bike and ran towards the food vendors. Arion only shook his head to see Karina's childlike behavior. Arion got off his bike and led him to follow where Karina had gone.

Karina looked through various foods and stopped at one of the stand sellers of various processed seafood. The choice fell on the grilled squid.
