My Mr's. Virgin

Chapter LII

Nature is not only a drug that can eliminate saturation, but also presents a sense of peace throughout the bus trip they ride.

The winding highway full of twists, steep and steep is quite challenging. However, the scenery along the way spoils the eye of the beholder.

The first peak of the climb was named Lewolaga, the bus stopped briefly because some passengers wanted to throw their bowels due to motion sickness.

The place presents a beautiful view, from a height it gives the opportunity for passengers to rest or just take pictures.

The blue sea expanse against the background of Solor Island in the distance, entertained the hearts of the passengers who looked lethargic.

In addition to Solor Island, there is also a small island in front of it called Konga Island. The island is the site of the largest pearl cultivation in Kab. East Flores is owned by Japanese businessmen, in cooperation with the locals.

The journey back continues. The passengers boarded the bus immediately, after hearing the voice of the bus giving orders.

...***...

Criscuits!

Andreas stroking stomach. The man glanced at his watch. The hour hand shows at 13.45 WITA. The bus departed from Larantuka earlier already at 12.00 WITA.

Almost two hours of time they spent. The distance of Larantuka-Boru is 60 km and takes one and a half hours to travel.

However, because the bus stopped briefly in Lewolaga, sometimes the bus also stopped briefly just to drop off or raise passengers who were in the direction of their destination, so the trip took longer.

Mariana was busy talking to Arnol. Laughter filled their conversation.

"What kind of work?" ask Arnol.

"Housewives that become village flowers." Arnol smiles.

"Husband?" He glanced at Andreas who was much silent throughout the journey.

"He's opening a small business."

"What usaha?" Her hand stuffed the banana chips Mariana bought into her mouth. He chews slowly.

"Hmm, good," he said.

"Project for home." That's what he heard from Dance. Arnol nodded his head.

The Ago bus stops in front of the Boru kec village food stall. Wulanggita. The place was indeed a temporary stopover for people who traveled far like Larantuka-Maumere.

"Eat first. Twenty minutes we're leaving." The sound of konjak echoed in the bus.

One by one all passengers disembarked regularly. Finally, Mariana and Andreas.

Back in Lewolaga, he didn't come down. Sitting on the bus with Ms. Yuni and her two children. His mouth was about to open wide wanting to yawn, but Andreas first silenced it with words.

"Don't yawn! People look, embarrassed." Mariana's face flushed red, wanting her to strangle Andreas right then and there.

But Andrew had already left him. He glanced at the few smiling cleft passengers watching him who was standing like a dried mushroom. Feeble-hearted.

The food stall was very crowded every day even though the menu was mediocre. The village food.

"White rice two plates, side dishes fried fish, vegetable kale and chicken soup." The man's servant was quite quick to write Andreas' order.

"Drink?" ask the waiter.

"Lime water."

They were both sitting in the corner of the stall because only the table was still empty. Mariana sat propping up her chin with both hands fervently watching Andreas.

"Don't look at me like that! Any shit in my eyes?"

Mariana shook her head. "You're handsome too."

Andreas did not reply, only a smile on his lips. Mariana did not look because she switched her eyes when the waiter came to deliver their order.

Without waiting for Andreas, a mouthful of rice would be put into his mouth. However, his hand hung in the air.

"Pray first" Andreas said. Mariana's face turned red. Embarrassed.

For too long he left his duty as a believer, making him forget everything.

Andreas clenched his hands while closing his eyes. Pray in the heart. Mariana followed Andreas's way.

'O Lord, forgive your servant who is further away from You.' That is all he said in his prayer.

"Good meal." Andreas let Mariana entertain his taste.

In just a matter of minutes, Mariana's plate was slippery including the sauce once. Andreas gaped in disbelief.

"Why not eat?" mariana asked, "we don't have much time."

"I've been keny ...."

Not yet finished the sentence Andreas, the plate has moved. "Don't waste food!"

"Reason." Mariana almost choked on hearing Andreas' innuendo.
