After work Mala waited for Arthur in front of Art Life, he deliberately went out first and prepared the car so that when Arthur got out the car was ready.
Five minutes later Arthur came out with Rafli, Mala immediately opened the door for his boss. Rafli bent his body as Arthur was about to get into the car, after which Mala drove his car to go home to the apartment. Their journey was accompanied only by silence, they were silent to each other, only the sound of breathing both of them were faintly heard in the car.
Arriving at the apartment they were both surprised to see Mama Wulan waiting for them in front of the door of Arthur's apartment. Mama Wulan smelled a smile as soon as she saw her son coming along with her lover, yes that's how mom Wulan knows, Mala is Arthur's lover.
"Ma, why don't you come in?" Arthur's greeting was gentle, a tone that rarely came out of Arthur's mouth.
"Mom forgot not to bring the key." Mama Wulan said, she smiled again when she saw Mala behind Arthur. "You guys live together?"
"Yes." Yeah." Arthur replied briefly. "Look ma." Arthur opened the door and invited his mother to enter, followed by Mala behind them.
Mama Wulan rushed to the kitchen with her luggage, she was diligent in filling the son's refrigerator, he continued despite sometimes getting protests from Arthur.
"Mom shopping again?" Ask Arthur.
Mama Wulan just nodded, she opened the refrigerator and shook her head when she found that it only contained water.
"Arthur, isn't your girlfriend fed?" Ask mama Wulan while making a smile. "Luckily, you're here, you've been expecting it, your fridge must be empty." Imbuh mama Wulan, but Arthur did not respond to anything.
When Mama Wulan will put her groceries in the refrigerator, Mala immediately approached her and intends to help.
"Let me just madam."
"Mrs." Mama Wulan keget said, the middle-aged woman looked at Mala in disbelief. "Call mama, not madam." He said again with great emphasis.
"But madam.."
"No but-but, you're Arthur's lover, we're going to be a family, you know."
Mala just nodded and smiled, it was better for her to agree with Mama Wulan's orders than for the matter to get longer.
"I'm the maid's mistress, not her boyfriend." Inner Mala.
Mala and Mama Wulan were struggling in the kitchen, the girl helped Mama Wulan cook for dinner. Even though she smiled a lot when helping Mama Wulan, she felt like she was with her mother, if only her mother was alive, maybe they would cook together like Mala and Mama Wulan do now.
Dinner is ready, Mala manata all the cooking of Mama Wulan on the dining table, she also prepares dishes and other eating supplies.
"Mala, please call Arthur son."
"Yes ma." Mala according to, she did not want Mama Wulan to be suspicious of her, today she is going to act as a good boyfriend. Mala swung her legs closer to Arthur's room, knocking several times but Arthur never opened.
"Just get in there, Arthur's inside." Mama Wulan's orders.
Doubtfully Mala pushed open the door of Arthur's room which turned out to be unlocked, she entered carefully.
"Sir." Call Mala when you see Arthur on his bed. "Sir." Call him again for not getting an answer from Arthur.
Mala approaches Arthur's bed and finds Arthur sleeping. Mala does not want to wake her up she intends to come out before her master angrily sees Mala enter her room without her permission.
"Don't go."
"Please, don't go."
Mala noticed Arthur who was getting restless, his face was already filled with sweat, his mouth was comatose even though his eyes were closed. Mala carefully approached Arthur's body. "Sir, are you having a nightmare, sir, wake up."
Mala was surprised that Arthur suddenly woke up, his breath was cut off and his eyes were reddened like one who was about to cry.
"You're fine." Ask Mala slowly.
Arthur turned his head and looked at Mala, the girl inching, she prepared herself to be scolded by Arthur again because she had been careless to enter her room. But Mala's guess was wrong, instead of cursing, Arthur instead pulled Mala's hand firmly so that the girl's body was hollow and ended up in Arthur's lap .
Mala feels strange about this incident, she remembers Petra and tries to break away from Arthur. But Mala was defeated strongly, Arthur hugged his waist tightly, and his head was attached to Mala's chest.
"Sir, please let go." Screeched Mala, her hand trying to push Arthur's shoulder. But Arthur did not budge, the man even sobbed, his tears began to drip and wet Mala's clothes.
"Are you okay?"
Arthur didn't answer and he was sobbing. Mala let out a long sigh, but unconsciously her hand had already patted Arthur's back.
"It seems I see a new side in you sir." Mala said in her heart.
While at the door Wulan mama mums a smile at seeing Arthur and Mala cuddling, she is convinced now that they are really dating. Mama Wulan returned to the kitchen, she did not want to disturb her son who she thought was in the middle of the kasmaran.
Five minutes passed, Arthur began to calm down, his cries could not be heard anymore, he released his hand hooks on the waist of Mala. Arthur lifted his head and looked at Mala, the girl just kept quiet and returned Arthur's gaze. Dug, dug, dug, Arthur's heart began to beat rapidly and his cheeks flushed red.
"You have a fever?" Mala asked, he pressed the back of his hand against Arthur. "No fever, but why is your face flushed." Imbuh Mala again.
Arthur who realizes it immediately pushes Mala's body, he mis-levels and wakes up from his bed.
"Sorry." Arthur said, then he went into the bathroom.
"Sir, madam told you to eat." Mala exclaimed before the girl came out of Arthur's room.
Mala returned to the kitchen and found Mama Wulan who was waiting for them to eat. Mala smiled and pulled out a chair and sat down next to Mama Wulan. Not long after Arthur came out and approached the two women who were waiting for him.
Arthur pulls up the chair opposite Mala, the girl stands up and takes food for Arthur, completely imbibing his role as a feigned girlfriend. Arthur looked at Mala, but Mala only gave the code by nodding, Arthur resigned and let Mala do what she wanted. While Mama Wulan again smiled at their closeness.
They began to eat, Mala focused on the food in front of him, he was busy separating garlic from his kanknya stir-fry, even so was being done by the man sitting in front of him.
"It seems you guys are a soul mate." Said Mama Wulan who saw them busy separating the slices of garlic.
"What?"Mala and Arthur said.
"Look, you both don't like garlic and separate it from your vegetables."
Arthur and Mala checked each other's plates and they exchanged glances and sure enough they did the same.
"It's just a coincidence." Inner Mala
SERIATE....
