Rainbow After the Storm

CHAPTER 11. REVEALING

Time showed at nine o'clock the night Gerald arrived at his house. The man hummed softly as he stepped into the house. Next to his hand stroked the stomach and occasionally still burped because a while ago had spent two rice dishes and side dishes in the apartment occupied by Rainbow.

It's up to say excessive, but in fact it's not a joke. He was really addicted to rainbow cooking.

"Good night Pa, Ma." Greet her as she passed through the living room with a smile on her face. My mom and dad were watching television.

The two middle-aged who were watching television frowned when they saw their son who looked happy, because since the cancellation of the engagement with Silvi Gerald was not as happy as before. And tonight, the two middle-aged were like looking at their former son.

"Gerald, come here, son." Call the Mama.

Gerald, who was just about to climb the steps, stopped, the man turned to approach his mother and father.

"Yes Ma, what's wrong?" He asked when he had just sat down next to his father.

"Eat already?" Ask mama.

"It's dong, Ma." Gerald replied while raising his eyebrows.

Mama pulled the corner of her lips smiling discordantly at the behavior of her son who she thought was alay.

"Where do you eat anyway? Lately I have never eaten at home again, breakfast is also not. Are you tired of eating house food or bored with your cooking? You also now always go home at night, when usually not. Are you tired of coming home?

The long sentence and the mama's consecutive questions made Gerald smile while scratching his temple.

"Mama isn't so, well how obvious it is." Gerald became confused himself, there is no way he said every morning at noon even night he ate the Rainbow cuisine. What will this mother say.

"No how? I'm sure you've never eaten at home again, but you said Mama's cooking is the most delicious and second to none." The middle-aged woman continued to interrogate her son.

"Yes, because it turns out there's something better than your cooking." Tapping Gerald involuntarily, he quickly clenched his lips tightly when he saw the sharp gaze of his mother.

"What's? Tell me, whose cooking is better than Mama's?''

Gerald grinned the horse while rubbing his nape. "There you are, Ma. I'll know Mama sometime. Now I want to rest tired Ma, sleepy." He said as he moved from his seat.

"Gerald, Mama's not done talking."

"Tomorrow, Ma said again, I'm so sleepy." Gerald just turned around, then ran up the stairs.

"When Mama wants to tell him about Zahra. It's time he found a replacement for the traitor." Mama said as she stared at her son's steps. The look of his face looks upset considering what is the cause of the cancellation of Gerald and Silvi's engagement.

"Udah, tomorrow-tomorrow Ma, let him rest first." Said Papa who did not take his eyes off the television screen.

Meanwhile, Gerald who had just arrived in his room immediately laid his body on his soft bed without taking off his shoes and changed his clothes first. The man immediately closed his eyes to sleep, he could not wait for tomorrow to meet the rainbow. On the way home, Gerald had already established his heart to express his feelings for the Rainbow tomorrow. Some days always together not only make him feel comfortable, but there is a sense that arises in his heart. Gerald not only fell in love with Rainbow cuisine but he also fell in love with Rainbow.

While feeding his mouth, in his heart Gerald was thinking hard to compose a sentence to express his feelings for the Rainbow. Until it does not feel the food on the plate was not restless toilet, as well as the rainbow.

"Em, the rainbow is something I want to talk to you about." Gerald said with a little hesitation. He was really nervous, but did not want to delay today to express his feelings.

"What?" Rainbow asked glanced at Gerald at a glance. Then switch to staring at the screen of his phone to see the incoming message.

"Did you remember? When you noticed I was eating, and I said falling in love wasn't that easy."

The rainbow who was reading a message from his friend, raised its gaze to look at Gerald with a raised eyebrow. "Hum, why?"

"Ballie, it turns out my words at that time were not true. It turns out I fell in love easily." Gerald said, a faint smile was engraved on his face.

"Oh yeah, who's the lucky lady who got your love?" Rainbow asked enthusiastically with a smile, Gerald saying he had fallen in love made him happy. Because if Gerald already has a lover, then Gerald will spend more time with his lover and he will not be bothered anymore by Gerald who asked him to cook. That's what's in the rainbow's mind.

"You." Gerald replied, which made the Rainbow smile slowly disappear.

The woman fell silent trying to digest, and moments later she chuckled at thinking Gerald was joking.

"Falling in love isn't that easy, Gerald." Her chuckles.

"I'm not kidding Rainbow, I'm serious. Maybe this is ridiculous for you but that's the truth. A few days with you doesn't just make me feel good, it just makes me feel like I have a friend. I'm not only in love with your cooking but I'm in love with you, Rainbow."

The rainbow was silent, but his gaze could not be separated staring at the two Gerald netra looking for the truth that this man in front of him was joking.

"It's Gerald, I know you're kidding." Rainbow chuckles trying to dispel the sudden taste feels gripping in his heart.

"Belangi, that love cannot be explained how big, one might judge that love as big as the world, the ocean, even the sky. But no one can measure how much he loves logic" Gerald paused his sentence and let out a long sigh. Although the nervousness hit him at this time but he was already half way and would not retreat again.

"Belangi, don't just look at my love from my eyes, but feel it from my deepest heart. Put your hand on my chest, and you'll feel it." Gerald was about to grab the rainbow's hand, but the woman first distanced her hand.

"Meeting you is destiny. Making friends with you is a choice, but falling in love with you is completely out of my day. Rainbow, I'm really in love with you."

Some time the rainbow was still silent, not knowing what to say now. Gerald waited anxiously.

Until the sound of Deheman someone took over the silence.

"Wow, here's a drama expressing his true feelings." Devano, who recently finished a meeting with his client at the restaurant, accidentally saw Rainbow and Gerald while leaving. He used this opportunity to approach the Rainbow again, but when he approached Rainbow and Gerald he was quite surprised when he heard the expression of Gerald's love for the Rainbow.

Unwelcome to sit down, Devano shamelessly pulled up the chair then sat his body while staring at Rainbow and Gerald alternately. While being stared at seemed surprised by the sudden arrival of Devano.

"Let's go Gerald, continue to express your love but I'm sure you'll regret it after knowing who the Rainbow really is." Devano looked at Gerald with a cynical smile, then turned to look at Rainbow with a grinning smile as if he was threatening.

"What do you mean?" Ask Gerald.
