Neighbor Husband

Episode 5 - After 'Fighting'

"Oh, God. What more trials have you given these single creatures" lamented Luke.

Ssrrnr ... There was water in the bathroom. It seems the two young couples immediately cleaned up, after performing Friday night worship.

Luke snorted bitterly. "They must have finished 'fighting'" Luke muttered annoyedly.

"Hey, but why should I be upset? They are indeed a halal couple" he whispered later.

Luke added the volume of his music. But a moment later he was reduced again. Her ears hurt from listening to music through headphones. He closed his eyes too.

"Damn, what the hell am I thinking?" luke muttered again opening his eyes.

His brain was imagined by his former classmate who was handsome and handsome, especially when wearing a work shirt suit like yesterday morning. The teenage boy who was so admired, leaving behind deep wounds and trauma, is now a husband on standby for his beautiful wife. Oh my good!

"Dude, Luke. Shame on yourself. You were crying over her treatment of you in High School first. Then what do you imagine now? Who wears cool clothes like a Korean actor? Not very consistent anyway? Does your head have to be flush with water to get back to clear?" Luke is having an inner war. But in his little heart he felt pain.

Luke had never thought dirty like this, even though a dozen newlyweds had moved into the house next to him. Is it because he knows Dede so well?

...*****...

Luke rubbed his swollen eyes. He couldn't sleep last night. Under his eyes blackened. Her long hair was disheveled. If there are people who do not know him, see him at this time, it is definitely mistaken for a bad luck ghost.

It's seven in the morning. He has not yet moved from his room. It seems he was too lazy to go out today. Especially when you meet the next door neighbor.

Suddenly Luke heard the voice of the boarding grandmother, the owner of their contract talking with Kak Nada.

"Oh, yes. I have to hand over Tyas's money today" Luke exclaimed. She must be out of her cage today. The girl then took a shower and cleaned up.

"Luke?" greet Lukman. He just got home from work.

"Have you seen grandma?" ask Luke.

"No. I just got home too. You why? It hurt?" said Lukman

"I? Why am I?" ask Luke. He felt that his appearance was much better than before.

"Circles your eyes have defeated the panda, you know?" lukman. His face looked worried.

"Eh, the hell time? It must have been because last night. Friday night was really horror" Luke said.

"Horour? What was in your house last night? The apparition?" Lukman doesn't understand.

"Ah, singles like you understand. It's worse than the sighting" Luke replied. "Already, ah. I want to find grandma first" Luke continued as he passed away.

The deg! Luke looks in the eye with Dede preparing to go to work. "He didn't hear my conversation with Lukman just now, did he?" Luke's panicking. He hurriedly turned his face.

"Hey, Luke! Wait up! Our conversation is not over. What does singles have to do with sightings? You are also single, tuh," exclaimed Lukman.

...*****...

"Bang, can I join my class of High School alumni? The show starts next Friday" Ina said as she clung spoiled to her husband.

"Friday? Ah, yes. Luke said Friday night was a horror for singles. Did he hear us 'play' last night?" think Dede again. His face suddenly turned red.

"But yesterday afternoon he wasn't very happy to see me either. Aghhh! What the hell am I wrong with him? He was previously indifferent to me. But his gaze yesterday was like it was going to kill me." Dede's mind is getting raging.

If Luke had heard Dede's inner voice by now, he would have tied her up and drowned her into the sea. It's good to forget the most painful thing he's ever done to Luke.

"dude? Ih, how do you daydream since? Didn't you hear Ina's talk?" ina said while kissing Dede's cheek. Her hand rubbed her husband's tender cheeks like a fresh tomato.

"Listen, Deck. Yeah, it's okay. How many minutes a month?" answer Dede flat. His mind is still next door.

Ina pout. Her husband did not respond to her chat. Though he wanted to show off, because among his classmates, he was the most beautiful and well-groomed.

When reunion online via video call, his female friends always praise the beauty that is increasingly radiated since marriage.

"What the hell, Dek? It's near magrib, you know. How are you doing now?" Dede diverted Ina's hand from her body. The man was still not in the mood to chat, his memory still remembered Luke's words this morning. Do they also disturb other neighbors while playing?

Ina pout. "Any meal, let's have a chat" Dede said again. He turned his eyes to the TV that broadcast the latest news. But his head was still thinking about Luke.

"Ah, since moving here, Ina and I haven't had a good chat with her. Because it is more often in the house. Maybe I should say hello again. But the cuisine is still the same as it used to be, it's delicious" Dede said in his heart.

...*****...

Luke compresses his ears with a damp towel. The sense of his listener is poignant, because some days he always uses a headshet with a high voice.

"Can I survive here?" muttered Luke.

For the next two days, Luke did not set foot into the outside world at all. The window was not opened either. Plants that are in the pot, start yellowing because they are not watered. I really only rely on rain to survive.

For now for Luke, being cooped up in his cage is the best option. Not only to avoid eye contact with new neighbors, but also carry out a grand plan.

"I have to change. For my own sake" Luke said.

Meanwhile outside... "That Luke's alive what the hell? Nothing was seen from yesterday. We're breaking the door." The attention neighbors (read:KEPO) come into action. Ow hell! You can find out Luke's plan.

What was Luke's plan?
