MY LEANING

S2-Siska And Redro....

Redro leaned his body to the side of the living room sofa. Siska approached him with warm tea.

"Here drink. I want to go to bed first" Siska said as she placed the drink on the table.

"Are you sleepy?" ask Redro and sip tea made by Siska.

"Beb, come on, what's wrong with your question? After walking a long distance, my legs are quite sore, so I think lying down will reduce the pain" replied Siska.

"That means you're not sleepy, come here!" Patting the sofa, giving the code for Siska to sit on.

Siska glared confusedly, she walked slowly towards Redro and sat beside him right which Redro patted earlier. Redro grabs the remote on a mini table beside the sofa and turns on the television with a channel that Siska dislikes because she does not understand English.

"Beb, find another broadcast dong. I could die from this confusion" said Siska.

Redro did not reply but, he obeyed Siska's words replacing another broadcast. However, as much as any broadcast contained in the television is still Siska confusion because all broadcasts use foreign languages. With a feeling of annoyance Siska snatched the remote from Redro's hands and immediately turned it off.

"Easy! I'll just go to the room." Rise up from his seat and was about to walk to the room but suddenly stopped because Redro's hands held him back faster.

An irritated siska turned her head towards Redro, a few wrinkles painted on her face. "What else anyway. Why arrest me?" tanyakanya.

"Sit down first" Redro replied as he patted the rest of the sofa beside him.

"Huh." Siska sighed harshly and was actually confused as to why she could be that sorry. With a slightly troubled heart he sat back to his original place.

Siska was shocked when Redro lifted his legs and placed them on the thigh of the young man.

"W-what are you doing?" With a flushed face Siska fell on the sofa. The girl was completely embarrassed by Redro's increasingly intimate treatment of her.

"Which part of it hurts?" A short question came out of Redro's mouth looking for a gap in Siska's leg.

"The auction," replied Siska who was still blushing in embarrassment.

"You look different when you're embarrassed. I wonder how much more your expression would be if I did anything else." Start massaging slowly Siska's legs.

"Hey-hey sir, what are you talking about? I'm embarrassed? Hahaha.., that's not a characteristic of a Siska, you know." Laughs awkwardly.

"It's up to you not to admit it." Seriously massaging Siska's legs.

"Yes-yes I confess! I feel so ashamed now. Pleased!" He finally gave up and admitted it.

"Did I ask you something?" ask Redro.

"Do you need to ask again?" ask Siska back. Redro did not answer that he was massaging Siska's ankle with an increasingly serious face.

"Yes. Of course it can be Beby." With a contrived voice Siska relented for the last time.

"Tell me about your family" Redro said.

"What's? My family?" Stunned.

"Nothing special. Forget about them" replied Siska while trying to lower her legs, but again Redro held her back.

"Do I not deserve to feel close to them? I guess you're the kind of person who likes to share life, but why the hell"

"I don't dislike you bringing up things about them but I'm still embarrassed to suddenly cry again. Because my life isn't as beautiful now." Swiping both of his eyes that have been drained by several clear circles.

"Whatever your life is, tell me a story! I was very curious what kind of life my beautiful lover had been through," gently rubbed Siska's feet.

"My family used to live a pretty decent life but the effort my dad managed with difficulty slowly but surely went bankrupt. At that time, I who was still in high school threatened not to finish when my ideals were very high. The old me was very different from the present, I was very brave in everything" Siska recalled.

"I enlisted poor students to get help and even study while colonizing fried foods at school. Hahaha I'm not ashamed, I'm proud to do it. Especially considering the depressed faces of my parents and the innocent faces of my two sisters who are still sitting in the SD chair. My life was quite smooth until one night, a young man who was famous for his bad temper came with his parents proposing me to be a wife when I was in 1st grade High School. I didn't know you secretly started gambling and made us go into debt to that cruel family in my village." Her tears are getting bigger.

"Mom came to my room in the middle of the night, she gave me a necklace as my way to get out of the village and continue my school in Jakarta. Yes, that night I too with all my courage, I also wandered to Jakarta. Actually I've lived in the Capital when my family was still able to spend my junior year and that's where I knew Lyra. I've been watching him a lot but he doesn't know me at all."

"Before applying to a new High School, I raised funds first. Started washing bowls of used meatballs, selling fried foods even I mulung used bottles. I always do it all day and it goes on every day. Then I applied for High School, and I was surprised to find out that Lyra was also in that school more precisely in the class I entered. I'm glad I didn't play, it just so happened that the seat next to him was empty. No schoolgirl approached Lyra, she used to be so quiet that her parents had an accident not to mention her uncle's family which at that time always acted unfairly to her."

"I tried to get to know him more closely, from eating together in the cafeteria, to following him to study in the library but still he ignored me. Until one day, he saw me washing a meatball bowl and even he followed me. I didn't know it went on for nearly a month. As time went on he began to accept me as a friend, he even often brought more supplies so that I was part of it and did not spend any more money."

"I also know clearly that he also had financial difficulties, but he secretly helped me pay regular school SPP money every month. I owe a lot to Lyra, even though she was often bickering with her aunt and cousin who was not good at that time as it is today. We were friends for a long time, I even followed him to become a math student when I used to want to major in English. The reason is simple because I want to always be around him." Swiping both of his cheeks that were already rushing with tears.

"When I found out she was dating Reyhan, I was so happy. I think Reyhan's social life will definitely guarantee Lyra's happiness. It's not that I'm matre, it's just that I think Lyra deserves to be happy. And it was proven that starting from them until now he was much happier than before. And I got hit too as soon as I got to know you. Although yes, you did let me down, hahaha." Chuckles.

"So how's your family doing now?" ask Redro.

"Mother forbid me to go home, and I can only obey her. He even forbade me from sending money. I don't know, I actually have a bad feeling but I always try not to think about it." Down sad.

"After the business is done here, I will take you to see your family and I ask for your blessing. If we need to take them to Jakarta." Swiping the head of Siska who was already in his arms.

"Thank you" said Siska.

"There's actually something I want to ask you, but I doubt if you want it or not" Redro said.

"Tell me," replied Siska.

"How about we get married here."

"What's? Married married?" Surprised glare.

"Yes, I mean a simple marriage for the prescription wait for us to meet your family. But if you don't want to I won't put an imprint on you"

"I want! I wanna. Redro I'm so happy." Hugged Redro tightly.
