Leo was silent to his wife's words, not that he did not want to blend in with what was in his wife's life during Shena's stay in the village, but since childhood Leo is only trained to use weapons and how to protect themselves from enemies. He rarely talks to strangers he doesn't know.
It was very strange if he was asked that Shena should adapt to the way of life of the people living in the village. However, Leo also can't resist Shena's wishes. However, Shena's life is also her life. Just like Shena who tried to blend in with her extended family. Eventually, Leo complied and walked towards a modest tavern that Shena referred to.
Once inside, Leo immediately sat his wife in a chair made of teak wood. It's midnight by morning, but the store is still crowded with villagers. Either the people are just talking to his friends who are here or just to make coffee. Obviously, this place is never empty.
"Coffee 2 yes, Bang!" shena exclaimed at the older male salesman who was in this tavern.
"Well, Neng!" said the shop seller.
"Do you know that guy?" ask Leo.
"No! I'm just like you. Even though I live here, I don't really know all the villagers in this place."
"They're all watching us" Leo said after looking around.
"Surely, our clothes are the most expensive here. We should have borrowed the clothes of the gardener first at home so as not to attract attention and mingle with them. Next time, remind me if you want to take a walk around here." Shena plucks the fried banana in front of her but Leo prevents her before it enters her mouth.
"Honey, do not eat carelessly, we do not know what content is in the food? If you want .. I'll ask the waiter to make this meal at home." Leo was about to call but his phone was immediately seized by Shena just as when Leo snatched the fried banana from his hand.
"It's just Leo's fried banana, isn't it poison? If you ask your waiter to make me a fried banana? Why do we bother coming here?" sewot Shena's.
"Then let's go home!"
"We just came, didn't we? Time to go? I ordered coffee, too." Shena's eyes twinkled trying to convince Leo to temporarily accompany her in this tavern. At least until he finished the coffee he ordered.
There's nothing Leo can do if Shena is like that. He could not bear to reject Shena's wishes even though he was uncomfortable and unusual to be in a place like this.
"This is the coffee, Neng!" the shopkeeper came and placed the coffee cups on Leo and Shena's table.
"Thank you Bang" said Shena.
"Same-sama, excuse me." The owner of the shop went back inside.
Leo's eyes grew wider when he saw two black coffee cups presented to him. "What's this?" ask Leo.
"Coffee?" shena answered briefly. He blew away his still hot coffee.
"Coffee has its pulp, is it?" Leo Protest.
"That's not dregs, I don't know exactly what it's called. Which obviously tastes good, gk less delicious like Vietnamese coffee, just try it!" tell Shena.
"No? Coffee time is over it like there's bran is that? Don't want to, me!"
"That's not a bran, Leo. It tastes good, really!" Shena convinced Leo. "Try it, here .. I tell you a way that the bran you mean doesn't come." Shena took a cloth or coffee cup mat, then he poured the coffee into a cloth or if in Javanese it is often called 'drag' to separate the coffee grounds with water. After that, Shena gave a cloth containing black coffee to her husband Leo.
"Drink, this is delicious. There's no more waste."
"How, good, right?" shena asked while observing Leo's expression while drinking coffee.
"Lumayan," replied Leo starting to enjoy his coffee.
"Eat this, too!" Shena fed her husband with fried bananas. "Nake too, right?"
Inevitably Leo chewed the fried banana even though he was very surprised by the coercion action by his wife. But Leo did not deny that the taste is good and this is the first time for Leo to be able to enjoy the typical food of the common people with women love his heart.
"Welcome to the world of my simplicity My husband." Shena smiled happily at Leo who also returned her smile. Leo could not speak because his mouth was filled with food.
The eyes of some people look strangely at Leo and Shena. Not because of their beautiful faces and expensive clothes. But because they both came at the wrong time and time. The mismatched couple is in deep trouble if they don't get out of the store immediately. That was why everyone in this tavern stared intently at Leo and Shena. It's just, they all didn't dare to remind because they didn't know who Leo and Shena were well.
The store owner came and ventured closer to Leo and Shena who were joking enjoyed their hangout moments in a place very far from the world of a Leo. If discotheques, cafes, and expensive five-star restaurants are Leo's daily place, then when together with Shena, the place is not as pleasant as this simple cafe shop. Leo only knew that his wife was happier and could laugh freely when she was in her own world when compared to the world of luxury Leo.
Leo was very happy to see Shena happy as she is today despite all the things that have happened to them so far.
"Sorry, Neng.." said the store owner hesitated to tell him or not what would happen to Leo and Shena if they were here longer.
"Why, Bang?" ask Shena.
"That's it, Neng. Sorry .. Not that I don't like the arrival of you two. But soon there will be village thugs who come to tear this place apart. I and everyone else who was there was normal. We pay the taxes they ask, so we are safe. But not with you guys. A few weeks ago, several people were killed for fighting the thug. I don't want the same thing to happen again, before it's too late I suggest you quickly go back home and close the door tight." The shop owner began to tremble in fear hearing his own words.
"Wuah ... in a village like this there are still thugs huh bang?" Shena instead acted calm and relaxed. Yes, the person sitting nearby is much more dangerous than the thugs the tavern owner told me about.
"Why not just go to the police, Bang?" ask Leo while drinking his coffee. He was not surprised to hear the shop owner's warning.
"Once in a while, the police put them all in jail but, somehow, they all still managed to free Bang. As of now, after killing people, they are immediately detained, but there hasn't been a week they're free again and again, Bang! Well ... That's them coming! You'd better get out of here before they get here." The owner ran inside while Leo still enjoyed his coffee. While Shena squinted her eyes to see what the thugs looked like.
"Let's go, Leo. Don't do it just yet. Tomorrow is your contest unless you want to withdraw from it."
"I'm not a person who likes to step back from everything, honey. But what you said is true. All right, we'll come back here, later. Let's go, you want me to carry?"
"I'll just walk!" shena said quickly.
"Yes, but if you change your mind ..."
"Have it, don't talk too much, let's hurry!" Shena pulled her husband's hand. The two men left the store after Leo paid for their order.
At first, Leo was relaxed and did not care about the group of village thugs when he met him. However, one of the thugs whistled at Shena's beauty, but the thug clearly knew Leo was clutching his wife's hand.
Lothawat! Damn it thugs! Why look for it because of it, anyway? rutuk Shena because he felt the aura of killing Leo was grasped by his hand.
