Not Always Beautiful

39. Guests Not Invited

Cycling in the morning is now our routine activity. As in the previous days, Adrian had prepared a sandwich and I prepared drinking water to bring later. Since everything was ready, we started to pedal the bike around with the complex park being the final destination. About ten minutes later we left the house, the originally clear sky suddenly cloudy. We decided to return home before it rained. It rained as soon as we entered the yard. I saw a couple whose wedding party I attended not long ago sitting on the porch chair. Why are they visiting so early?

Bicycle Adrian put in the garage. I brought the couple in.

"Please sit down, ma'am. We just change clothes for a while" said Adrian

"Yes pa" The king answered briefly. I followed Adrian to the room.

In the room I asked Adrian about the King. Mas Adrian also did not know why the King was visiting so early. Adrian came out first, I needed time to dry my hair. After drying my hair, I followed Adrian to the living room. As soon as I sat down, Adrian asked me to prepare breakfast for the King and his wife. The king refused, but Adrian insisted that they have breakfast here.

I've been in the kitchen preparing ingredients to make fried rice. Vita came to offer help.

"Can I help Mrs Meera?"

"Meera, it looks like we're the same age" Vita smiled, she was beautiful. It's actually kind of awkward cooking with the wife of the man I once loved so much.

We split the tasks. I fry the eggs, Vita slices the onions and cuts the complementary vegetables. I took out the flour tempe from the refrigerator.

"Mom, uh I mean. You're a tempe-lover?"

"It's Adrian's favorite, if I like all kinds of food"

"Then let me fry the rice, you fry the tempeh"

Food's ready. I called Adrian and the King.

"You don't have a housekeeper?" Habits, talk between meals

"There, but on leave" I replied

"Fried rice bu Vita yummy" mas Adrian chimed in

"Thank you Adrian" I smiled, adrian mas know my cooking well

Silent.....

Breakfast was over, Vita and I had another bath. Vita I loan you the clothes that the King bought first. The time has shown 11 more hours but the rain has not also signaled wanting to stop, even more intense. Now that we were in the living room, Adrian and Raja were busy talking about their business and company, boring. I invited Vita to prepare lunch, but Adrian's mas forbid. He said delivery. Small debates are inevitable because I force want to cook and Adrian mas force to delivery. Ok Hayati relented. The food came, I prepared the dishes and all.

*In the room

"Mas I'm still confused, why did you invite Pa Raja to stay the night? And again they're very early in the morning, strange no?" adrian rubbed my head gently

"Say, they want to see their new house in the end housing complex. But right up front of our housing complex, his car broke down. Because between the distance to their new home is farther than the distance to our house, so they choose to stop by while waiting for the car to be repaired. Serving guests well is a great reward. You don't want us to get a big reward?" this one's a different guest mas, you'll never know what he can do.

"I don't like it"

"I noticed earlier, you seem familiar with his wife pa Raja? You don't like his wife pa Raja?"

"It's not. I mean...."

"Have you thought too much, let's go to bed already at night. Or do you want me to sleep? hmmm" adrian plays his eyebrows

"What if I fuck you? hmmm" I played my eyebrows

"If my wife insists, I can do anything but surrender"

"Nobody's forcing you, let's go to bed"

I slept in Adrian's arms, I breathed deeply into the scent of my husband's body before I fell asleep. Continue to be beside me, until I can feel no other presence than you.

*the next day

I'm preparing breakfast, Vita? I don't know if he hasn't come out since. I just prepared a sandwich. Suddenly someone hugged me from behind, this body?

"The King is free, later Adrian or Vita see" I tried to escape from the King's embrace, but in vain he even tightened his embrace

"Let them see, let your Adrian be angry and divorce you, and then we get married and live happily ever after"

"You're not sane"

"You're the one who made me crazy, baby, why are you so stubborn, baby, you don't miss my embrace? hmmm"

"Dear" is the voice of Adrian
