MY HUSBAND'S BAD BOY!
Advantages of Julia
“We have prepared the room, even though it is sober, because far away if you have to go to the hotel is still forty kilos again. It's okay, yes, Intan, you guys while staying here?” Nia wants to be a good host for her would-be besi.
“Wah, even so ngerepotin. I'm actually happy, because rarely the three of us can collect kayaks in villas like this, yes ‘kan, Pa?” Intan turned towards Maxwell.
“Betul, we will take advantage of the time here for healing, the atmosphere is still very beautiful here. Mind so calm, agree Zach?”
Zach nodded with a smile. A fake smile that is only shown when in front of his family and Julia's family. When he was together with the girl, his smile vanished, changing the sadness that locked his soul.
“It seems like it is late, you must be very tired because the journey from the airport to here is very far. Come on, Intan, I'll take you to your room. Julia, you take Zach to his room.” Julia nodded at her mother's orders.
“Come, Brother's room is on the side,” Julia said. Nia's house is shaped like a rumah gadang. Two-story wooden house. Actually not a storied but they live on top. While under the supporting poles that are used to store garden produce, and a kind of warehouse, there is a salam for planting vegetables and raising some livestock such as chickens, ducks, there is also a fish pond.
“This is his room.” Zach just nodded entering the room on the outside of the house, the room had a door that was directly connected to the stairs, so it was more free to go in and out without disturbing the residents in the house.
Julia actually wanted to say welcome or something, but seeing Zach's cold attitude that was very irritable to talk since the man came to her house, the girl chose silence. Afraid of saying wrong.
The rural atmosphere seemed foreign to Zach who was always surrounded by urban frenzy. The sound of crickets outside his room made the man repeatedly close his ears because he was disturbed.
“Ah, the sound is so noisy! How can I sleep like this?” his grunts while covering his ears with pillows. As his ears were covered in pillows, the sound of crickets turned even smoother. Slowly Zach smiled. It turns out that the sound of the crickets gives its own peace.
The next day the Maxwell family actually used the time to rest. All day long they were just inside the house, lazing while enjoying the delicious food that Nia served.
“This really hibernates her name, Nia. Eat sleep only our work,” cetus Intan while laughing.
“It's so common. Two days you should rest. Let's go grilled chicken again, dong. This is what caught the chicken, Julia this morning. The one who cleans his fur, he also. I'm just cooking.”
Nia thrust out a piece of roasted chicken. There are four tails that are each divided into four parts.
“Excellent Julia. Hmm, this is delicious, Ma. The roof's sinking. Like there is sweetness but not sugar,” interrupted Maxwell while chewing the chicken that feels tender on the tongue.
“That's because coconut water is given. Julia who climbed to the top of the coconut tree, this child if the business of climbing-climbing make her mother pusiiing,” complained Nia.
“Julia jago climbing?” Intan can't believe the girl who looks soft turns out to be a tomboy too.
“Mother don't unload secrets,” whispered Julia in Nia's ear. Mother chuckles. “ They will be your family as well, so don't jaim-jaim-jaiman so.” Julia's face turned red withstanding embarrassment.
“Iya, Julia. Precisely Auntie happy you can all be like this.”
Zach doesn't know where to go to follow Julia. She saw Julia raising her head, looking up at the sky. Zach saw the sky full of stars. Things that Zach rarely sees in his house. It seemed that even a star had never been seen in his residence. Zach sits next to Julia, who is shocked to learn of the man's whereabouts.
“Eh, Sister not sleeping?” Julia shifted her body. He was sitting in the front hall of the house that he used to sit or sleep relaxed like now. Zach did not answer. They were both silent with their own thoughts.
An hour had passed, they did not open their voices at all. Julia felt that Zach was not interested in her. ‘Absponding to my greeting he does not want, how to chat? Looks like this guy is not interested in me, I feel like a fool,’ he lamented in his heart.
‘It's hard if it's different in the world. This girl likes to see stars, I miss the disco lights in the nightclub. How to go in the direction?’ inner Zach is restless. ‘Did I just say that I was forced to accept this match, who knew he was going to stop it. If she had canceled this crazy plan, Mama would not have been angry again.'
Zach almost opened his mouth, but when he saw the extremely solemn Julia looking at the stars, the man undoes his intentions. She was worried that her words were bothering Julia.
Zach finally returned home. The man thought he would talk about it later, at the right time.
***
The loud sound of the cock-crowing woke up the whole house. Zach began to get used to hearing the sound of chicken crows in the morning, the chirping of birds are diverse, also sometimes he heard the sound of a swan screech, one of Julia's pet animals.
Zach opened the door to his room. The morning air was fresh filling his nose. In the lower yard he saw Julia was hoeing the ground. Zach rubbed his eyes in fear of wrong vision. It doesn't seem wrong. Julia was making mounds of earth like small trenches to grow chili.
There are a lot of vegetables in the yard. There are cucumbers, bitter melon, spinach leaves, tomatoes, lettuce, pokcay all look flourishing. Julia's cold hands embodied that vegetable garden.
Julia has a small and light body. Several times Zach caught Julia climbing a tree which was then shouted at by his mother.
“Down Julia! Mom said just get me a banana leaf, not a guava harvest!” Nia sees Zach staring at Julia from the front of her room. “Sorry, Son Zach. Sometimes Julia's behavior is magical, like a child.”
Zach is smiling. At other times Zach also sees Julia changing a light bulb in the kitchen. Even Zach had caught the girl lifting a gallon of water up the stairs from the yard to the kitchen.
“This is where I helped lift your backpack,” said Good when Julia had trouble lifting her backpack. Every week the three of them always go up the mountain.
“Don't Julia, mine too, dong!” yanti Protest.
“What do you do have a large body if it is not powered?” timpal Nice.
Zach peeked out of her bedroom, Julia leaving with her two friends. “Oh, it's Good same Yanti friend Julia climb the mountain. The children's bias is hard to tell,” Nia said when Zach asked who they were.
Catch a chicken, climb a tree, lift a gallon, change a lamp. In Zach's eyes, Julia did not look like a shy and graceful country girl. “This is what mom said the girl had IQ, EQ and SQ?” muttered Zach in despair.
