My Sweet Roommate's

We are a good team

Rice field with side dishes rendang and parchment, plus some types of vegetables, filled the plate Joana at that time. He no longer keeps his image and is timid in front of Alva. Isn't there a term, shy, even hungry? So Jona ignored her embarrassment. And now, Alva was looking at her in astonishment and for the rest of her life, only then did she see a young woman eating a large portion of rice.

Joana felt Alva staring at her for too long, the man had already finished his meal. While Joana still enjoy the food slowly, without wanting to rush so that the pleasure is more pronounced. “What's up, Mas? ilfeel see I eat a lot?” accuse Joana. Not that he just spoke, just that Joana felt the man in front of her grieving with his current behavior.

“Do not speak, on what basis do I ilfeel? just because you eat rice paddies by hand, will not change how I feel about you-“

“Ah I'm full of this rice field, Mas. Don't need to do it.” Joanna reminded.

“Quickly spend, our time is not much more, Joana.” Alva said softly, afraid that the woman would be offended again, because lately, Joana has become more sensitive. What is possible, ahead of the pms period.

“Sabar, Mass. Aren't you the one I was eating with? now, why the rush?!” ketus protest.

“Continue rage, pms yes?” Alva ventured to mention that.

Joana fell silent, she reached into her blazer pocket to pick up the phone with her left hand still clean. Speaking of PMS, Joana realized she was two weeks late. To be sure, he is now staring at the calendar on his phone. “Mas, I'm late!” said panic.

“Telate, means?”

“I'm two weeks late, should be the beginning of the month I get. But this-“

“Wait! don't-don't you, ham-“

“No, not possible. I must be just stressed. Ever since there was you, my life has been a mess.” Joana quipped.

“After this we go to the hospital huh, to make sure?” persuade Alva to the slightly stubborn woman. Alva ignores Joana's innuendo that says Joana's life has fallen apart since her presence.

Joana shakes. “Mas, I have also been late this way, time again the days of working here and there, but did not meet. So this, is not a thing to exaggerate, okay?” Joana said as casually as she could, when her heart started to fidget, her heart was pounding. What if she's really pregnant? “Not that we have to get ready before grandma arrives?” Joanna reminded again.

“OK, but.. if there is anything different from you, we should check. Don't argue, Joana. Listen to what I said!” firmly Alva.

“Iya Mas.”

Eat, shop and buy a sofa, they finish it within three hours. Everything is in order, only now Joana is forced to ask permission not to return to the office because there are urgent things and Joana certainly does not need to fear being fired or get a warning letter, because he feels safe. Safe because of who he's going to be with at the moment.

Joana hasn't changed her clothes, still in her work suit, she's putting all the groceries they bought in the closet and refrigerator. He also checked the contents of the refrigerator, putting aside vegetables and other food ingredients that were not feasible to use. To be honest, she was lulled by the absence of Nek Merry, Joana rarely cleaned the refrigerator, and this time she did not want to look like a lazy woman, especially if until grandma nagged her.

“Where's your old sofa, Mas?”

“Warehouse,” sahut Alva relax. The man was also the same, still wearing his shirt that had been opened two buttons on the top. He helps Joana clean the living room and the family room. As the grandson of Nek Merry, he knew how grandma was. Do not like dirty, dusty homes let alone messy. Not only that, Alva had also cleaned one room in the house, the guest room she would occupy, because grandma had returned home here.

“You are calm aja.” Alva had finished his task, he approached Joana who seemed to have difficulty arranging things in a high closet.

“Mas please get me a seat,” pinta Joana.

“You don't need a chair, but need a sensitive boyfriend, here I help.” Alva gently rubbed Joana's head, then gave a brief kiss there.

Joana smiled getting such sweet treatment. She leaned against the kitchen pantry, watching what Alva was doing. “Ya. You are blessed with a tall body, do not need to go up to the chair, while I-“

“Assalamualaikum.”

Joana immediately stopped her speech when she heard the voice of someone she knew. “Waalaikumsalam.” no doubt, he immediately welcomed grandma, a figure who had left him for no reason during these two months.

“Grandma, so much the same me!” the first protest sentence that Joana made to Nek Merry.

“Alva is not evil right to you?” and Grandma also gave him questions that she did not expect.

Joana just smiled faintly, while welcoming grandma's embrace. He was unable to answer whether or not Alva was evil to him. Come to think of it, what Alva had done to her was indeed very evil, cruel and heartless. But seeing how the man's struggle melted his heart, Joana was speechless.

“Nek.” Alva also welcomed her grandmother, greeted her and hugged her.

“The healthier you are while here, your face beaming,” said grandma, while rubbing both cheeks of her grandson.

“Grandmother is very complicated, say only I am more handsome.” Alva chirps, while pulling two suitcases belonging to grandmother to bring her into the room.

“Joana, you are getting more beautiful and fat huh?” Ignoring Alva's words, the grandmother gave praise to Joana.

“Oh yes? I'm getting fatter, Grandma?” Joana held her own cheek. What might be because his appetite increased these few days resulted in his weight rising.

“Yes, but it makes you more beautiful. How, you two get along, right?” grandma asked, staring at the two alternately and instantly Joana and Alva threw gazes at each other.

“As grandma saw, we are a good team, can cooperate in taking care of the house, is it Joana?” sahut Alva, pretend.

“Iya's right Nek, don't worry. Grandma's home is safe awake,” says Joana.
