Picking Up the Past

Kampung Returning Plan

Tomy smiled as she saw Arya, Mila, and Vanessa walk into her room, while Abel stared at their arrival with an annoyed face, still wanting to spend some time alone with Tomy, but the presence of 3 people even damaged his mood instantly.

Arya walked up to Tomy's bed with an annoyed look at Abel, “why do you see us like that?” arya said with a tone of regret.

“indeed I see what you look like” said Abel while throwing his face from Arya's face. Arya took a deep breath looking at Abel's attitude.

“tumben you guys come crowded here” said Tomy ketus while watching Vanessa and Mila.

“we want to see your condition Tom” replied Vanessa who made Abel stare cynically at him.

Vanessa then approached the sitting Abel, and placed her chain on the small cupboard beside Abel, “I brought food for you Tom, Arya says you don't really like hospital” cuisine Vanessa said in a soft tone.

“aduhh brother, I even ngerepotin brother jad” said Tomy with a bad tone, he did not say it the same Arya, but anyway Arya already know without he had to talk first.

“no Tom, just relax, I'm your brother too, besides I also like to cook, so I'll love to cook for you,” replied Vanessa who seemed to make Abel's ears heat up to hear it, she did not like if there were other women who gave special attention to her future husband.

Abel then looked long at Arya after hearing Vanessa's words, “kok you ask her brother Mila to cook for Tomy, why not tell me, same me, I can cook good for Tomy” said Abel with annoyance, “emang you can cook Bel, you said you want to learn to cook with our parents”. reply Arya to Abel.

“bisalah, just like your wife who can not cook, she used to cook in my house until charred lo Arya, he said, I just threw up eating his cooking first” said Abel innocently recalling the time they learned to cook when High School used to be in the kitchen of Abel's house.

While Mila swallowed her saliva hearing it all, ‘Abelllllll’ upset her in the heart. Sometimes Abel's innocent attitude is what makes Mila uncomfortable when long there beside Abel.

Arya then looked at Mila who had lowered her head next to her. “you said first you can cook right?” said Arya who still remembers what Mila said at the dinner table.

“ya can, but that, as Abel said earlier” replied Mila who preferred to be innocent imitating Abel's style. Then Arya looked at Vanessa and Vanessa shrugged her shoulders as if she knew nothing. ‘means Vanessa's sister also lied to me when she said Mila could cook, aahhh, and then she did, brother Vanessa is the same, he always defends Mila’

“Bel, you cook for me after we get married, yes, I do not feel good with your parents”, Tomy told Abel. “no, tomorrow I will cook for you, I don't want any other woman who cooks specially for you like this” said Abel did not want to budge.

Arya, Mila, and Vanessa look at Abel with a panted look, for some reason the girl's attitude and words make them feel upset.

Tomy just smiled at Abel's words, for some reason, Abel's innocent attitude that is not liked by many people is what makes him love the girl more.

“Arya says we're going to your village Tom, when are we going there?” asked Abel who while standing from his chair, he then opened the bushel that had been put by Vanessa. “to my village?, you mean what Arya?” tomy asked Arya because she was confused to hear Abel's intentions.

“kakaaak” shouted Abel spontaneously when he found the cuisine Vanessa brought was Tomy's favorite soy sauce chicken. “why Bel?” asked Vanessa in surprise, Mila, Tomy, and Arya were also surprised to see Abel, “doesn't know who Tomy's favorite food from?” abel asked angrily and in full investigation.

Vanessa took a deep breath hearing Abel's question, “Arya, who else” Vanessa replied with a ketus, “Thank God,” muttered Abel with a sigh of relief, Mila shook her head to see Abel, the innocence of Abel, the sigh of relief, only then did he see Abel as possessive as that of a man. While Arya and Tomy just smiled faintly at Abel's words.

“I promised to take Mila to our parents, so I don't think there's any harm in you and Abel coming too, so later uncle and aunt can all know Abel” Arya told Tomy.

“Uncle and aunty?, for what?, I do not want complicated to meet your extended family, enough parents you just” said Abel in a displeased tone.

Tomy, Arya and Mila took a deep breath hearing Abel's words, somehow the girl's mouth did not stop talking from earlier. “listen to Bel, I don't know,” said Tomy softly to Abel who made Abel nod slowly because he was upset.

“Later after my work is a bit loose, and you get out of the hospital, we can go, I'll set the schedule first with Mila so as not to clash with her work hours at school, I'll take care of her, and tomorrow Rita will take care of your resignation letter, you have been too long in Bandung,” explained Arya.

“do you think it's time I came back here?” ask Arya again

While the 3 women on their side only paid attention to the conversation of the 2 brothers.

“you also want to get married, so what else do you do in Bandung” Arya replied to Tomy's question.

Tomy took a deep breath, it has been almost 3 years he stepped aside to Bandung to protect Arya from himself. ‘maybe it is time I return to the side of his inner Arya’.

“Mil, you want to come with us to our village, if Abel he is definitely coming, I will be angry with him if he refuses” said Tomy by looking at Mila's eyes.

Mila swallowed her saliva to hear Tomy's words, she took a deep breath before answering him, not yet had her voice come out, Arya's voice had made her bersedik annoyed first. “I have told you call my wife sister, brother, he's your brother-in-law, why is he still ngeyel sih” said Arya staring intently at Tomy.

“you who should call Abel brother after we get married later, you are my sister” replied Tomy no less upset.

Abel's eyes round in disbelief at what he heard, he looked at it all.

“I am older than you, you should have called Mila brother”

“what the heck, obviously I'm older than you, my name on kk is above your name” reply Tomy again.

“but the fact is I'm old from you, you have to be polite to your sister-in-law, what is the difficulty is calling Mila brother”

“Where might I call Mila..”

“Aryaaa” “Tomiiiii” shouted Mila and Abel simultaneously which made 3 people there close their ears instantly.
