Neighbor Husband

Episode 31 - Three Youths

"Dude, can I talk to you for a second?" satria told Dede.

"Yes?" Dede pretended to be confused.

"I don't know who you are or what your problem is, but you've been following me since?" ask Satria.

"You mean?" Dede's still pretending.

"You were at Attorney General Setiawan's party, right? But a few moments later, you were in the back of my car. Follow me until I get here," explained Satria after moving. They slightly moved away from the contract so as not to disturb Luke's break.

"Heh, you don't know, do you? I do live here. I am the occupant of room number three" Dede replied firmly.

"Oh, yeah...? Nonetheless, why did you take the exact same path as me? Whereas for motorcycles, there is another road that is closer and more comfortable than before."

"Is that the way your father built? And are you the only one who can get through it? Strange," said Dede covering up his lie.

"I guess you know what Luke's going through" said Satria.

"What else does this mean?" Dede is still pretending.

"Look at your clothes. You think that's cool? But if you look closely, you are like a clown in a children's playground. That means you were in a hurry. Just wear it, which is important to approach the specified dress code," continued Satria.

Dede felt her clothes were fine. Oh, my God, what is this? Purple shirt combined with a dongker suit and brown pants? He thought it was a black suit. Oh not only that, he even wears different shoes on the right and left foot.

"Then can you explain? Why did you only attend the invitation for less than a minute?" search Satria.

Dede could not dodge anymore. The man in front of him was very smart. Is he a former child detective from the famous Japanese comic?

"To whom do you own? Suddenly drive him home? Are you at that party? Even to get inside the house and close the door?" cecar Dede's.

"O, ow... There's an overprotective neighbor apparently here. I wonder if you are married or single. But your attitude is completely different from the man Luke was with" Satria said.

"I don't need to hear your babble" said Dede piety.

"Ah... So you're still curious about my identity? Wh why? You're interested in Luke and you feel like you're losing out on me?" sindir Satria's.

Dede grunted in annoyance. "It's hard to talk to this guy. He must be just a spoiled kid from a wealthy businessman," thought Dede.

"I'm Satria Aditama. Psychologists working in S hospitals. Besides, I'm also a messenger from Luke's mother, to look after her daughter in this town. Well, don't rule out the possibility that later we will be paired." Satria gave Dede a business card.

"Oohh..."

Dede's self-confidence was as big as Jaya Wijaya mountain, instantly vanished out of nowhere. He was really just a 'potato' in front of this man.

The man he thought was just a spoiled child of this city conglomerate, turns out to be an established man with a promising career.

"Jose's mother's mouth? Who is this guy really? Earlier, Lukman also had time to say, he was one hometown with Luke. That is, he is also a hometown with me. But why don't I know him?" thought Dede.

"Who are you?" ask Satria.

"I? Ah.. I am his neighbor. As I said earlier," Dede replied hesitantly.

"I mean, why are you so protective of Luke. I just found out, the relationship between neighbors is that close? As far as I know, Luke is very difficult to get along with any man. Do you really want to approach him? Or have you known him in the past?" ask Satria curiously.

"Well... What do you mean ask like that? My relationship with Luke is none of your business" Dede said unhappily.

"I only said this once. So listen carefully. I like Lukella. But I also do not forbid anyone to approach him, as long as he is not officially mine yet" Satria said.

"Well, it should be, right?" Dede.

He was not too surprised to hear this man liked his neighbor. Since then, it has been very easy to guess.

"But I hope he finds a good man. Not a bully fly like you," continued Satria.

"Assynolajet. Luke.." luke..."

"Waalaikumussalam" said Luke. He woke up to someone from outside.

"Well, what time is it? Did I miss the dawn prayer? It was fortunate to have eaten Satria's satay and changed clothes last night" Luke muttered alone.

Chequek! Luke opens the door, and finds his well-dressed neighbor waiting for him on the porch.

"Hi, Lukman," Luke said awkwardly.

"Hey. How are you doing? Here I bring you your favorite pecal rice. I also want to apologize for last night. I didn't know you were traumatized by the party" Lukman said.

"Oh... About it... I was also wrong, for not being frank with you. But you don't have to buy breakfast like this. I told you, I can't be bribed" Luke said.

"This is not a bribe. But my thanks and my apologies" Lukman explained. "If only you hadn't accompanied me last night, you definitely wouldn't have ended up like this. At the same time, the name of our law firm is also increasingly known in the top circles thanks to your help," Lukman said.

"Oh.." said Luke. He came back awkward.

"Oh yeah, I washed the clothes first, yeah. After that I'll give it back to you" Luke continued.

"Which shirt? The dress you wore last night? Just take it for you. Consider it a gift from me. And again, I can't wear it either, right? Do you want to call me Lukman by day and Lulu by night?" lukman said with a small laugh.

"Haha... What the hell? Right too, yeah. Then I'll reimburse the cost" Luke said embarrassedly.

"Of course, that's a gift for you. Have breakfast. Just take care of your health. I have to go too. Today the news of the case of Dede and his wife" Lukman said, rushing away.

"Oh yes! I also have to thank Satria" Luke exclaimed.

He rushed inside and took his phone. Unexpectedly, there were many incoming messages and missed calls. Luke immediately opened a message from Satria.

"Good morning, Luke. How are you doing today?"

"Hi, Luke. Are you awake?"

"Are you still bad? Why not take a message from me? 😟"

"There are a lot of messages from him. He must be very worried. Last night he also drove me home without asking much questions" Luke murmured.

^^^"Satria. I'm doing fine, all right. I'm just late to wake up. Thanks for last night. Sorry for bothering you, too" said Luke.^^^

Until a few minutes later, there has not been a reply from Satria.

"Well, he must be busy in the hospital by now" Luke thought.

"Satria must have known that if I had post traumatic, he was a psychologist. Ah, Lukman must have known that, too. How'this? I'm getting scared of men approaching me. I can't keep going like this" he murmured again.

Luke then opened the other incoming messages.

"Good morning, Miss Ella. Is there an urgent need outside today? Class B students asked whether or not Mom was present" Lucia said.

"Vaaakh... I forget. I have a teaching schedule this morning" Luke exclaimed.

"Tell them, I'll be there about thirty minutes late" Luke replied.

He can not change the class schedule arbitrarily, as the students will certainly be difficult because of the schedule that clashes later.
