Not Ordinary Love

Kitchen at 12 Nights

"Mas Rival really want to stay here?" naina asked as the man got out of the car. Naina does not believe Rival really came home, especially they did ride Rival's car when it came down from the hill. With ease Rival nodded his head, really making Naina shake her head in amazement.

Etan then turned his head as if not willing if the man really stayed over. "Just go home. Tomorrow morning we will go home." he spoke up without thinking.

"You can tell me to come home these nights?"

"Who told you to come here who is it?" ethan's question makes Rival a terrible loser.

"There is none. But I want to take a walk." Rival defended himself.

"Yes but no one wants you to come here."

Rival solicits Ethan, fished a ruckus. Continuing to argue, Naina and Zoya exchanged glances looking at them in surprise.

"Go home now!" Ethan is demanding, Zoya pulls the man's hand slowly. "Why are you, anyway?" he asked in a low tone Ethan did not deny just rolling his eyes panted. Why Rival stayed there.

Just imagine, in Naina's house there are only two rooms. It's impossible for him to sleep with Zoya in the room they were in yesterday. Naina with her Aunt in the room and Rival in the main room alone faced the television.

Ethan knew his wife would set up a position where Etan would accompany the man to sleep outside. Wouldn't it be annoying if it was really his wife?

"I'll stay the night." Rival remained firm on his stance.

"Back home!" Ethan still insists.

"Who does this house belong to, anyway?" Rival sighs angrily to Etan then the two men turn their gazes to Naina, the owner of the house who is fixated.

The gaze of the two men really threatened Naina and she did not know who to side with.

Naina agrees to Ethan to let Rival go home. The man was not invited to come there. They even wondered and wondered why the man had suddenly come. But on the other hand, he also felt sorry for Rival if the man had to go home by himself through the long and creepy dragon fruit plantations of these nights.

Ethan gives her a look to not allow Rival to stay over while Rival's gaze pleads with Naina to allow him to stay overnight. Naina was completely confused over everything.

"OK, okay. Gini aja's. Ethan, we can't just let Mas Rival go home to Jakarta on these nights, can we?"

"So he stayed here. Tomorrow we go home together to Jakarta, okay."

"Yes, on one condition he sleeps outside!" Ethan is fiery. "Outside?" Rival frowned.

"There!" Ethan points to a couch on the porch of Naina's house.

The man rounded his eyes. Zoya patted her husband's shoulder. "In the main room." he used what Ethan said. Makes Rival breathe a sigh of relief. "OK," the man smiled triumphantly. Wherever it is, the most important thing is that it stays there, as long as it is not outside. Not going back to Jakarta without any results, at least tomorrow morning they have to go home together.

With a feeling of arrogance, Ethan enters Naina's house first, Zoya after leaving the two men there. Rival with Naina stared at the departure of the two men until they disappeared behind the door. Naina then turned her gaze to Rival.

"My Aunt's house is small." said Naina as Rival looked at her house. Rival just shrugged indifferently, not wanting to know. Have seen it. And there's no problem with that.

"There are two rooms here. One of my rooms and one of my aunt's."

"But my room is being occupied by Mr. Ethan and Zoya. I slept with Bibi in the other room." Naina at length, Rival listened until then frowned as soon as Naina stopped talking.

"I actually slept in the main room?" asked Rival sillyly.

"alone?"

"Would Mas Rival want to sleep with Mr Ethan, or with my Aunt?" naina asked a little annoyed at the man.

Rival just fell silent. "Here take water still by manual means, must draw water from the well. Can Rival?" immediately Rival nodded his head, then after Naina invited in. Rival set foot with his lips hanging mumbled softly.

"Soaking water straight from the well? How's it?"

**

"Can or not?" Ethan asks with a sewot as Rival looks to observe the bucket rope, still confused to think of how.

"In a moment, I'm watching him." he said with eyes that kept watching the rope. Rival was thinking about how to position the hand, hold the bucket rope and get water. His whole life he's never done it.

Ethan clucked, at first he was very happy when Rival said in front of Naina and his aunt if he would take water from the well. But Ethan seems to have to resign himself, allowing himself later who will take water because of the fact that the man can not take water.

"Can he?" zoya asks, Ethan hesitates. Not sure about his brother.

"If you are the one who takes the water, let the spit. I want to take a quick shower, honey, yeah." Ethan was silent, for whatever sake his hands still hurt because it had several times to take water in the well in large quantities.

But for Zoya's sake he, sighed and nodded. Can't say no especially the woman seduced by calling her dear.

"Here, let me." said Ethan, about to shift Rival's position. But the arrival of Naina who will see the results of Rival's work keeps the man in his place.

"So you take the water?" ask Ethan as soon as Naina passes. "Try an example first!" Rival reigns. Not talking much and not wanting to argue, Ethan does. Do what he has been doing since yesterday in that place, namely draw water that really makes his hand muscles feel pain.

Rival seemed to observe the way Ethan drew water, nodding his head in understanding. Zoya watches Ethan with Rival. It turned out that was the scene if two haughty and indifferent people were united. They are both amazing and adorable.

After the drama of taking water from the well, then dinner took place in the main room with a carpet. Today Bibi cooks herself, remembering that it was Naina who usually helped her come night and did not have time to help except just serve the food that aunt had for them from the kitchen to the main room.

Rival eats voraciously, is he hungry? Of course, he only had breakfast and did not have time for lunch. It was only natural that he was currently eating so voraciously. They spent half a day at the beach.

"His son is Aunt's cooking?" asked Aunt who was watching the man, Rival who had originally focused on his food nodded followed by a smile. Right, Aunt Naina's cooking is delicious. It fits perfectly on his tongue.

"Son Rival is married?"

"Uhuk," why is the question so random? Rival who was greedily chewing his food choked upon hearing the question.

With a quick movement Naina thrust a glass of water at the man. Even Rival had to nail for a while to realize that Naina was like a wife serving her husband. Rival wanted to laugh at himself. Naina is just doing something simple that is nothing. So why is it so excessive.

"Mas Rival." Naina realized when the man did not reach for the glass he thrust, just fixated on looking at Naina. Ethan and Zoya secretly steal a glance, then carve each other a thin smile and let the two men.

"Slowly eat, let's not choke." said Auntie, Rival just nodded his head. Though it was Aunt's question that made Rival choke.

"So how's the answer?"

"Hmm, why?" Rival asked back with an ambiguous look. She thought Aunt had forgotten her question. Actually, it is very easy to answer, even by just taking out one word. But the tongue of Rival as a mute to move.

"Not Bi, she's still single." Ethan is telling. Follow the anxiety yourself because Rival is so long.

"Oh, still alone." said the Aunt while nodding her head. Rival also nodded with an awkward smile.

"Sama, Nain was also still alone." this time the Aunt spoke with a whirring look, of course making Naina feel disturbed so she patted Auntie's thigh sitting next to her.

"Auntie."

The girl blushed, but was only responded to a smile by the four people there with one of them–Rival looking at the girl with a gentle look.

It seems that when they arrive in Jakarta Ethan really has to teach Rival a lesson that is difficult to tell home, he added that he actually slept outside while Zoya slept in the room alone. Ethan hopes to spend the last night in Naina's hometown by sleeping on a small bed together with Zoya in fact must disappear.

But once Ethan just resigned, what can he do? After all, Zoya was right. It was also a pity if Rival slept alone while the four of them were inside a room.

Time showed eleven over fifty-five minutes as Rival checked his phone with sleepy eyes. Rival felt his throat so dry, he woke up, looking at his surroundings that felt foreign once he woke up from his sleep.

Rubbing her eyes and then getting up after uncovering the blanket that covered her body, the blanket that was last night before going to bed was given by Naina to her.

Rival's footsteps took him to the kitchen to wet his dry esophagus with at least a glass of water. But his footsteps swallowed as soon as he saw a girl there, the girl who was relaxing a glass of water who then turned her head as soon as she found her footsteps.

"Mas Rival." could not be denied if the look on the girl's face was so surprised when she saw it.

"I'm thirsty, I want to drink." said Rival. Naina nodded her head, then poured water on the new glass and handed it to Rival. Rival accepted it, before he thanked and then emphasized the glass of water. He's really thirsty.

After that, among them was silence. Naina never left her place just standing nailed, while Rival was reluctant to move.

"You haven't slept?" asked Rival in an awkward tone. "I'm asleep, but I'm awake. I feel thirsty." Naina replied in a soft voice.

Rival puts his foot close to the girl, keeps his glass on the table near Naina, Naina is still petrified. The distance between them became so close.

"I want to ask you something" said Rival. Naina who looked straight ahead somehow where the destination was then turned her gaze on Rival.

"What mean?" tanyakanya. "Do you have a candidate?" Rival did not know the reason why he asked about it, he did not have any chat material with the girl.

Naina shook her head slowly, then lowered her gaze and made Rival look at her deeply. Rival's hand touches the girl's chin and lifts it, making the eyes meet in a straight line.

Naina just blinked her eyes, she suddenly turned like a statue that could not even twitch in the slightest.

While Rival does not know what he is doing, or what underlies him to do so, or who instigated him to then bring his face closer to the girl so that next he felt a soft object hit his lips.

Just a quick glance and Naina was still staring in place, gnawing nervously for what she felt.

"Naina, it seems that now I know the reason why I came here." said Rival, looking at the girl deeply so that when there was no response or any flirting from the girl, Rival is back to doing what he did before.

The atmosphere of the kitchen at that time became different when first, Naina felt a sensation that only yesterday she saw done by Ethan with Zoya.
