Curiosity raises many questions. Curiosity can sometimes cause a lot of injuries. And maybe choosing not to know will save humanity from heartache and anxiety.
Nindy was lying in the man's arms. His fingers tapped on the chest he made head pads, scratched the index finger, made abstract shapes on the chest of the man's field. "Yes, you promised to tell me." He shook the man's shoulders, demanding the promise he had previously spoken.
Once again Yang Pou Han threw a smile towards Nindy. He just wanted to buy time, looking for an opportunity in Nindy's great curiosity towards her past. And now they are lying with each other glued together and covered by the same blanket. A position he found very pleasant.
"What do you want to know? My secret is so much. My mouth can be sore if I tell you everything." He combed the long hair with his fingers, feeling smooth and soft. Emm, Nindy's good at hair care.
"You always make excuses when you explain something to me. But you're never sore about asking 'that'."
Nindy's words sounded very funny. Who chuckled at the innocent answer spoken from the lips that had made him addicted to it. "Yes, I think of it as a physical sport. The more exercise will make the body healthier, right?" He answered the origin, and it made Nindy pursed her lips even more, annoyed.
"You're getting a little shitty, huh?" lament Nindy later.
Who still looks at the smile on their lips. He was happy with their little discussion. Nindy's words to her always sound laughable, and make her unable to hold back a laugh or just a smile on her lips.
"Then why can you love a shitty guy?"
Nindy rolled her eyeballs, sighing later. "Heeemm, I don't know. I've never been in love before. Didn't have time to think about it, because my days were already too busy with work." He looked up, looking at the face of the man who seemed to be staring at the ceiling of the room while hearing his words. "Have you fallen in love so often that it's been so hard to love me?"
The one who lowered his gaze, stared at the glittering round bead that was now looking at him. There were many questions from that gaze, but Yang seemed to be ignorant and uncaring. "At least, even if I don't love you yet, but I can make love to you, right?"
Nindy pinches the fat in the man's belly, but Nindy finds it hard to find it. "You really suck, Yang." He finally gave up, letting all of that remain a question. His outstretched hand hugged the blanket-clad body, with the man's arm as the cushion of his head. Nindy felt a warm kiss land on her forehead. He smiled then, closing his eyes with his body tightly hugged by the man.
"Good night" whispered the man who sounded like a lullaby to Nindy.

The sky loves the earth. He gave the sun to shine, gave the moon and stars as decorations for the dark night. He also gave rain which some people thanked as a form of thanks to the One God. However, there are also many people who do not want it. Even though it was raining, they had difficulty walking, because it was raining they could not leave the house at will.
It's different with Nindy. The woman who was wearing a light blue hijab was extending her hand forward, where the rain had fallen upon the earth. He waited for Yang Pou Han to pick him up after returning to work. The man said he would give her a sweet surprise. Isn't that surprising?
Nindy was in one of the shopping centers with a trolley full of food ingredients that had been packed in large plastic bags. He was still at home waiting by playing those raindrops that simultaneously hit his deliberately challenging palm with an outstretched face up. That sweet smile rose on his lips.
Yes, his heart is happy at this moment. Imagining what kind of sweet surprise Yang Pou Han would give her. Ah, it seems like he can't wait to find out.
He was still staring at the rain, until a voice startled him, making Nindy turn his head for a moment. "Hi, long time no see."
Nindy commented a smile as she nodded her head looking at who had reprimanded her. "Hi, what a coincidence, Zang Nan."
The man smiled at Nindy, looked forward, reached out as Nindy had done before, holding up rainwater. "Pluviophile?"
"What did you say?" nindy asked, looking at the man standing next to her.
"Do you like the rain?" The man asked instead.
"Heeem, that's. Every rain fell, I felt peace, from the sound and the distinctive smell of the rain as it washed away the dry soil. It smells simple, but it will feel calm and peaceful when we kiss it. I feel like I am in my own country. You know, I've long since left my country."
Nindy was still staring at those specks of rain that were constantly falling down nonstop. The smile was still faithfully perched on his lips, with several raindrops splashing about his face.
"Pluviophile, that's the term someone who likes rain, like you. They will smile, enjoy the sound of the thumping water that descends in a row wetting the earth. They always feel at peace when they smell the rain coming down for the first time."
"Yes, I like it. The distinctive smell makes me always miss the rain," said Nindy enthusiastically.
"That's petricor. The distinctive smell of rain that is always awaited by a pluviophile. They always miss that scent, which sometimes finds it hard to find, if it's not in season." The man spoke long, without looking at Nindy, only smiling with his outstretched hand touching the raindrop in front of him.
"You know a lot about rain, huh?" The woman seemed amazed by Zang Nan's knowledge of the rain.
The man chuckled, he stared at Nindy. "Not really. I just know a little." He looked a little embarrassed, visible from the look of his reddened face.
"Emmm, I don't think so." Nindy lowered her head, hiding a smile on her lips. The view is directed downwards, where the water splashes irregularly on the asphalt floor.
"Rain taught me the meaning of life. How hard was the life I lived all this time. The rain had fallen many times, and he had not once given up. He will always come with the same strength, sometimes it will be much bigger and great than before. A lot of people hate him, but he doesn't care. Because he believed his arrival had brought indirect benefits to the inhabitants of the earth."
Nindy's words about the rain seemed to hold sadness in her mind, until the man was astonished by it.
"Are you happy with your marriage, Nindy?" Suddenly the thought of Nindy's unhappy marriage in Zang Nan's head, made the man unable to stop the question that filled his head.
"Ah, I'm happy." She smiles. "Master who treated me well. I'm lucky to be his wife" he added.
"Really?" The man stared at her with a peeking look, but Nindy ignored him. "Did he love you? I'm sorry if I meddle too much, it's just that I'm curious about your relationship."
Nindy fell silent, feeling no need to answer that question. There was no need for everyone to know if it was only him who loved, but not with Yang Pou Han. In her heart was still the name of another woman, and Nindy could sense that.
"You're a good girl. I'm sure Mr. Yang would be easy to love you. If he hurts you, I'd gladly be willing to be your escape." The man blinked one eye at Nindy, making Nindy dislike.
"I'm kidding. Don't put it in the heart." He dodged later.
"Emm, your dress isn't funny."
Just as Nindy said that while throwing a glance at Zang Nan, a car stopped in front of her. The rear glass of the car was downhill, with a cold figure displaying eyes staring intently at him.
"Lake in!" The cold face looked straight at the man who was beside Nindy. The meaningful gaze hidden behind that cold face made everyone who saw it shudder in horror.
The same happened with Zang Nan. The man gulped to see who was looking at him with a sinister aura. Nindy smiled, although the cold face was still clearly imprinted on that face.
"It looks like I should go. Thank you for the time, Zang Nan. It's nice to meet you." Nindy nodded with a smile, she stepped towards the car with Yang Pou Han already waiting inside. While Nindy's groceries have been taken over by Yang Pou Han's personal driver to be put in the trunk of the car.
Nindy got into the car with Yang Pou Han already sliding over. The man still maintained his cold face, turning his gaze forward after being satisfied with pecking at the face of the man who had been talking to Nindy. The car drove then, leaving the shopping area at normal speed.
"You seem so happy today." Yang Pou Han started the conversation in a cynical tone to Nindy.
"really? Is it very visible?" Nindy looked shy. He was indeed impatient to see what surprise Yang Pou Han would give him, but it seemed like the man was misinterpreting.
"So you're really happy to be with that guy?" Who clenched his hand. The narrow-minded Netra stared intently at Nindy, piercing into the woman's soul.
"What's? You mean Zang Nan?" ask Nindy to make sure.
"You've even met him?"
That tense face did not scare Nindy. The woman chuckles at it. "I didn't know him. I've known him before. We met there by accident."
"Talk together and enjoy the rain together. Isn't that so romantic?" The cynical one was both annoyed, but Nindy did not notice it.
"Ah, yes. Also true. It looks romantic." Nindy even smiled as she said it, making the man even more furious.
Who held onto Nindy's shoulder with his right hand, while his left hand gripped the woman's chin. His eyes were sharpening, full of threats. "You're having an affair?" accuse the man.
"A-pa?"
"Say! Did you have an affair with him?"
"Geeh!"
Nindy seemed to gasp at the accusation. It was unexpected if Yang Pou Han thought he was having an affair just by talking to a man both.
"If you dare to cheat, I will not hesitate to eliminate the man in front of you."
Nindy rounded her eyes at the threat of the man in front of her. Obliterating? What did it mean to remove what was spoken from Yang Pou Han's lips? Does that mean killing?
Nindy shook her head, imagining creepy things in her head. However, for a moment he thought the reason the man was so angry saw him talking to Zang Nan. A smile suddenly flashed on his lips realizing the man's attitude in front of him.
"Well, does that mean you ... jealous?"
Instantly the hand slipped off Nindy's chin, freeing the woman's chin from her grip. "Jealous? It's impossible." He berkilah.
Nindy pressed her head forward, looking at the man with a big smile. "You're jealous, aren't you? Come, confess!" He laughed amusedly, seeing the man's face turn reddish.
"Don't be too confident. It's only in your dreams!"
Nindy couldn't help but laugh. He closed his mouth because he wanted to laugh too much at Yang Pou Han's behavior. "Well, if you're not jealous. I'll see him again."
"No! You can't meet him!" Yang Pou Han immediately banned Nindy firmly.
"Why can't I meet him? Come on, tell me you're jealous!" Nindy grabbed the man's arm, poking him with a laugh.
"Come on! You must be jealous, but ashamed to say it. I'm right, aren't I?" Nindy urged again.
"Let's be honest! Tell me you're jealous!"
I heard the breath of the man. Stuck with Nindy's insistence on him. "Yes, yeah, all right. I'm jealous." He confessed, but his face still looked annoyed.
"Ah, finally. I can make you jealous too." Nindy smiled, wrapping her hand around Yang Pou Han's arm. Put your head on that arm, too.
The smile was contagious to the man. Subjecting his head sideways, Yang Pou Han rewarded a warm kiss on Nindy's forehead. "Bas stupid," he said, commenting on a smile on his lips.
