After hearing Rain recite her message Ega deliberately took a bath under the shower for a very long time. Somehow He felt unwilling when someone else praised Rain. Of jealousy?
After the shower, Ega opened her laptop. A lot of jobs are abandoned after just two days not in the office. Ega read every report. Mr. Riko who is now out of town taking care of his own business is difficult to contact.
Ega has the intention to find out his parents' past and Rain's parents through Mr. Riko. But these days Mr. Riko's phone is off. Lastly, Mr. Riko said he was monitoring the construction of a Mall in Malang City. Considering this is Mr. Riko's first business so he wanted to jump directly to see the construction.
Ega's stomach rumbling, seen through a cell phone turned out to have been at 19:00. Ega immediately closed his laptop. Before going outside the room I don't know why it feels like Ega wants to reflect. He pegged himself through the reflection of the mirror and curled a thin smile. She sprayed perfume on her body. Then leave his room immediately.
With a slow but definite step Ega down the stairs. From inside the room, Rain was ready to peek at her handsome husband. Aunty was watching tv when Ega arrived at the dinner table.
"Bi, let's eat" cried Ega. Auntie comes over to Ega.
"Eating alone, Bibi is forbidden to eat heavy with Neng Rain. Aunty can only eat boiled chayote, nih". Aunty answered pointing at the Siamese pumpkin in her hand.
"Whose cooking is it?" Tanya Ega was still standing.
Aunt sat down and chewed.
"Your wife, lah. Actually, every day you cook your wife". Auntie replied, there is no point in lying. Even if later Ega was angry Bibi just pretended to faint.
Rain in his room wondered why Ega stood up and did not eat. Does Ega not like to cook it.
"Continue now where's Rain?" Ask Ega. Aunty smiled slightly but tried to cover it up. Ega swept his eyes. Ega saw the door of the guest room that was not tightly closed. There was someone looking there peeking. He sat down and said slowly.
"Who is there in the guest room?"
"Bi, I can't accept the truth. But, I'll try". Ega said as she glanced towards the guest room door and saw Rain still peeking.
"There are still many men out there who love Neng Rain".
Ega suddenly stood up and pushed the chair down. Auntie managed to upset him. Ega walked towards Rain's room. Rain hesitated for fear that Ega was angry. Rain was quick to close the door but late Ega immediately pulled the door open wide. Rain wavered as Ega arrived before him.
"Mas, Ak Me. I'm sorry Mas. I just don't want to make Auntie tired. I did not cook Koq. If you don't like it, it can be thrown away". Rain played the tip of her headscarf as she spoke nervously. Ega did not reply and continued to advance closer to Rain's body. Rain himself continued to step back.
"Mas, please temperin I'm slow. I'm like Auntie". Said Rain closing his eyes as Ega's face got closer to his. Rain frightened, those closed eyes took out crystal streaks. Rain quickly removed it but Ega had already seen it.
Ega stopped his steps, for some reason his heart seemed to be sliced. Heard Auntie say Rain always took care of her. And look at Rain this time crying for fear of being scolded like before.
"Open his eyes, Rain" Ega said in a commanding tone. Rain slowly opened his eyes.
Their views meet. Rain played back the tip of her hijab.
"Eating alone is not good, Rain. Temenin I eat ya?" Ega said as if he was persuading his sister to eat.
Rain gawking. Is this not a dream. Didn't Ega say he didn't want to see Rain's disgusting face?
Rain continued to be silent with trembling lips holding back tears. His hand gripped his robe. I'm sorry to see it. Is this as scared as Rain is? Ega really tormented him these few months.
