My Mr's. Virgin

Chapter XCII

"Is there something you want to say?" Andreas broke the silence between them. Without turning his face away from the laptop, he asked.

Mariana shook her head. The weight of his mouth was about to say what was stored in his mind.

"I saw your mouth pouting from earlier. You read the spell?" His hands are still nimble typing on the keyboard of a finger button on a laptop.

Mariana laughs. "What are you, this! A spell for whose winnow?" He himself was busy making sculptures. Although now the store in Larantuka Tari is maintaining, but Mariana still provides products for their customers. Moreover, his online business also got a good reception from customers.

Andreas raised his shoulders. "Where do I know?"

"If you don't know, don't just talk, you'll be the one I win!"

"Therefore, you open your mouth shut, open it shut, why?"

Mariana placed a carved knife on the table, then turned the chair facing Andreas who was sitting on the sofa. Andreas also stopped his activities, then turned to look at Mariana, waiting for the girl to speak.

Eyes with eyes, without speaking, made the atmosphere suddenly quiet. Just a clockwork clink was heard on the wall near Andreas's bookcase. Mikel had already returned home, so, the two of them lived in that house.

"Mr Virgin!" Mariana opened her mouth after a long silence. Andreas did not say, still waiting for his wife to speak.

"Good to graduate. Two more weeks."

Nodding. "Then?"

"Can I go with my mom and grandma to Makassar?" Andreas did not reply, only nodding.

"You're coming too, huh?" mariana Pinta.

He shook. "I have a lot of unfinished work. A lot of work is constrained by time to take care of the wedding and honeymoon."

"But how are you here by yourself?"

Andreas is back facing the laptop. "Not to worry. I can take care of myself."

Mariana looked down, contemplating the end of her foot. The mood was quiet again.

"Yesterday ade Agus has a phone." He immediately looked up at the husband. Andreas does not continue the story, making Mariana wait. He called with the brother, but Agus said nothing.

"What did you say?" Mariana could no longer wait. He stood up and approached Andrew.

"Mr Virgin!" Mariana toothbrush. He put his body on Andreas' side.

"Nothing he told me, just asking permission. He also invited me along."

"Then?" ask Mariana.

"Same as I said earlier. I can't come with. You'll go with mom and grandma."

There was a sense of disappointment that visited Mariana's heart. The girl was really hoping that Andreas would come with them. However, she also understood her husband's work. Mariana lifted the body then returned to the seat, continuing her delayed work.

Andrew looked at his wife. Still ringing in his ear Agus' message yesterday. One thing that Agus asked of him, was to ask him to take care of Mariana.

After Andreas left for work, Mariana left the house to go to the city center. This time he was riding the bike he bought yesterday. The quiet atmosphere of the village, reconciled his heart as the bicycle paddled down the village road. Occasionally passed by school children, farmers who were about to go to the rice fields, as well as some people who were waiting for transportation to the city.

There were some people who recognized him, calling his name, while waving their hands. Mariana also waved her hand in return for their greeting. Bicycles continue to be pedaled, down the highway, past the rice field, enjoying a puff of baby greeting his face. Green nyiur waving from the rice fields with some farmers who were planting rice. Occasionally a small whistle sounded from his lips, the rhythm of the song he played from Redmi's phone.

When he arrived at the city, the festive, frenzied atmosphere of the city welcomed his arrival. The high-rise buildings become eye food. The sound of the engine from a motor vehicle becomes deafening music. The screams of the sellers offer their goods into their own melody, like a dangdut singer who has a raucous voice due to a sore throat.

Mariana continued to pedal her bike towards a place a little far away, spared from the human crowd. He then parked his bike near a food stall selling various types of dishes. Long queues form a straight line.

"Wuih, crazy! Long queue." Mariana muttered. Swinging footsteps enter the booth of Tanta Mei. He was immediately greeted with a smile Tanta Mei who was busy preparing his customer's order.

"Have you come?" Mariana nodded. Without being told he directly helps provide other customer orders.

Tanta Mei smiled. Undeniably, he did like the girl, even though they were just getting acquainted. It was still ringing in the ears of their conversation when Mariana called him earlier, before the girl came here.

["Tanta!"]

["Yes."]

["What does a husband like most about his wife?"] Mariana's question jolted her feelings. Suddenly, the longing that had lingered long in the recesses of his heart to the two people he had left behind, was again present on the surface of the heart. However, as hard as he tried to re-submerge that feeling.

She tried to recall what her husband liked. ["When they come home from work, the first thing they see is the cleanliness of the house. If the house is neat, neat, they will feel comfortable. Then, the second, the main one is the stomach. If the stomach is full, they won't be noisy."]

They both laughed.

["Santa, can't you, teach me that second one?"] mariana asked, ["because Mr. Per .. I mean, my husband loves Tanta cuisine. He ate three more meals."]

["Can, Honey. Just come to Tanta's booth."]

["Tanta's got a stall?"]

["Yes, it's only been open for a few months."]

["Okay, Tanta, I'm coming now!"] Phone calls were cut off.

Throughout the day, Mariana was busy helping Tanta Mei. He learned a lot from women his age.

"Thank you, Shifu for accepting me as a student."

Tanta Mei laughed. "Shifu?"

"Yes. Kan, Tanta is Chinese."

"Where do you know?"

"Because Tanta's eyes are sepet." The two of them immediately broke down. Mariana remembered Andreas because the man also had eyes.

Since then the call 'Shifu' was pinned to Tanta Mei.
