Neighbor Husband

Episode 20 - Party?

"Oohhhhhhhhhhh... Luke... Still alive?"

An incoming message from Satria unravels all of Luke's dark memories.

^^^"Sorry. 🙏... I just read the message" Luke replied.^^^

"Its Ok's. So what was my offer? Want to watch the theater? I won't force it if you mind" Satria replied.

^^^"Duh, sorry yes. I don't like to watch theater. Thank you for the invitation" Luke wrote.^^^

"Huffs... I hope he's not offended. I really can't watch the theater, especially after that problem" Luke murmured.

He decided to reject Satria's invitation. The trauma in his heart a few dozen years ago, was still very deep in his heart. He did not want anyone to know, including Satria who incidentally messenger from his mother.

A few minutes passed, there was no reply from Satria. Luke's getting nervous, is he really angry?

"Ck. Just let. I have no serious intentions with him either. Meningan take care of the stomach, which has begun to demo the worms," murmured Luke.

Luke unloaded the contents of his refrigerator. He took a chicken breast, sausage and cauliflower.

"Bikin chicken teriyaki mixed with sausage and cauliflower kayaknya delicious, nih," said Luke.

Hush.. Hmh...

"Lho, is the stove not alive? Argh... Gas out apparently," said Luke annoyed.

"Buy the field at the front end, just" Luke's mind. His stomach was becoming less and less able to compromise. Ingredients that have not been processed, stored again in the refrigerator.

Luke rushes to put on his jacket and picks up the flip-flops. He was about to go to the satay traders who used to hang out at a intersection not far from his contract.

Ah, apparently Dede again sat casually on the porch of his house. Luke immediately turned his face away. He was not ready to see the handsome face of his neighbor, after a dream that occurred this afternoon.

"I could have had a dream with him this afternoon." Luke muttered to himself.

Not until ten minutes, Luke has returned to his contract while carrying a package of satay that is able to make saliva drip.

"Luke," call Dede. He was sitting on the porch of his house alone.

Luke didn't look, nor did he. Currently he is more concerned with the fate of his cattle in the stomach.

"Luke, I have something to say for a moment" Dede said.

"Sorry, I want to eat. I'm busy too, a lot of work" Luke said. He did not look at it one bit. He went in and locked the door.

"Bright... He must have been so angry with me because of this morning.. Though I want to apologize doang.." lamented Dede.

Meanwhile Luke's on the wall next door...

"Well... It could be crazy of me, remembering that dream all the time. Why be like a gini pervert, anyway?" Luke.

"O virgin demons that are here, go. I'm no longer interested in connecting with men today" Luke said alone, like a stressed person.

What a genuine misunderstanding of the brothers. -_-"

"Cieee... Miss Ella, waiting for her boyfriend," tease the students who cross paths with Luke in the classroom hallway.

"Daughter?" luke muttered confusedly.

"Yes, Mom. Cute again. Duh, like the CEO in Korean dramas," continued another.

"Pity, Mom. Long awaited," said another.

"Who, anyway?" luke was getting curious. I don't think he had an appointment with anyone this morning.

"Don't-don't what?"

"Gosh," said Luke in surprise. A man suddenly appeared from behind. "Satria" he said again.

The young man smiled sweetly. He uses a black slim fit suit, combined with a white shirt and a dark blue tie. As a sweetener, she uses a Stainless-steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch on her left arm.

"Ah, it's appropriate that the students call him the CEO of a Korean drama, his performance is like this" Luke muttered in his heart.

"Good day, Mrs Luke. May I have a discussion with Mom for a moment?" ask Satria with a smile.

"Good day too, Mr. Satria. Be able. Come on, just go to my room" said Luke.

He suddenly remembered his message last night. "Did he come here to discuss the matter last night?" Think Luke.

"What's wrong? Sorry a lot of student documents gini," said Luke when he arrived at the lecturer's room.

"I just want to give you this," Satria gave a black box measuring about 15 x 15 cm in a brown paper bag.

"What's this?" luke asked confusedly.

"Just open it" Satria replied with a smile.

"Bento?" muttered Luke. Inside the box contained onigiri, vegetable tempura, teriyaki chicken, a grilled piece of salmon, salad, and some grapes and lemon slices.

(Bento is a stock meal in the form of rice and side dishes in practical packaging that can be brought and eaten elsewhere.usually packed for a portion of one person. )

"I don't know what your favorite is, so I'll just bring this for your lunch. Hope you like it" said Satria.

"Is he a shaman? How did he know I wanted to eat teriyaki chicken since last night? How does he know I haven't bought lunch yet? Maybe he also knew that the gas in my house was running out" Luke said in his heart. He pensively long enough.

"You don't like it much, do you? Just tell me what you like, I'll buy it," said Satria, seeing Luke's response as hopeless.

"Oh, I like it. I like Japanese food. Thank you, yes," replied Luke immediately. It turns out Satria is not a shaman. The proof, he could not guess the contents of Luke's mind at this time.

"Thank God if you like" said Satria.

"But why suddenly give me lunch?" ask Luke, curious.

"I'm sorry about last night. Take you to the theater, without knowing what you are feeling" Satria replied.

"Oh, I thought you were mad at me. You see, my message never returned in reply," said Luke relieved. He did not need to think of a reason, why he did not want to go to the theater.

"I overslept" replied Satria. "I can't say I forgot to reply to the message because it was fun watching Detective Canon until midnight" Satria said in his heart.

"Oh, thank God" Luke replied. "Eh, but 'Take you to the theater, without knowing what you're feeling', what does that mean?" think Luke.

"You have a schedule tonight? Do you want to accompany me to my coworker's wedding?" bring Satria.

"Pe-party?" Luke's chest began to cringe at the words of the party. He clenched his hands together so that the guy in front of him did not see him tremble.

"If you can't go, it's okay" Satria said later. He realizes Luke's change in attitude since taking him to a party.

"O-oh. Ja. I-I can't go per-away. Sorry," said Luke. He kept trying to control his body. His head felt heavier, his eyes began to twitch.

"No problem. Next time I will ask you first, where do you want to go," said Satria feeling guilty. He immediately gave Luke a glass of mineral water.

"It seems like I just said something wrong" murmured Satria.
