Ride in Bed

The Bloodless Pain

“I love you!”

The Goddess's steps stopped immediately. His heart stopped beating when he heard Adrian saying a sentence he wanted to hear. Slowly the girl turned her body, her lowered head moved up and looked at the two men.

“I love you. That should be what I said yesterday. Sorry for making you hurt. I'm sorry I was being selfish and just thinking about Adit's feelings. My closeness to you, purely because of my feelings, not because of Adit.”

The eyes of the Goddess continued to stare at Adrian's netra which was brownish in color. The successful Netra made her fall into the man's charm. For a moment the atmosphere between them became silent. Only the sound of the wind blowing slowly the hijab that the Goddess was wearing.

“What father is still not satisfied hurt my feelings? Yesterday for Adit's sake, you said you didn't have any feelings for me. Now when I received Adit, you suddenly said love to me? I don't want to be fooled a second time. For me, what comes out of your mouth now is nothing more than a lie. I don't care how you think about me and Adit, but I won't back down. If you really love me, then cry, because of your hope, I along with Adit come true. Feel how painful it is to see someone we love with someone else.”

The goddess rushed to leave the man after sticking out the venomous words. The love Adrian said was only a promise of heaven given by the man to prevent himself from being with Aditya. What Adrian did further confirmed that the man had never loved himself.

Adrian fell on the park chair. When he tried to be honest, the Goddess did not believe him at all. His lies were considered to be his honesty and his honesty was considered a lie by the girl. For a moment Adrian still lingers there, trying to pull over the deepening wound. Unconsciously someone saw and eavesdropped on the conversation of the two of them.

🌸🌸🌸

The goddess continued to move her body to the right and left. He had been lying on the bed for an hour, but his eyes were still not closed. His conversation with Adrian was still ringing in his ears. I want him to believe the man's words. Really the girl wants to hear Adrian's love statement to her. But unfortunately, the word was spoken when he was determined to accept Aditya. For him, Adrian is just an attempt to prevent himself from being with Aditya.

The girl woke up from her sleep and grabbed a cell phone nearby. Opening the gallery folder, his eyes scanned the photos of himself along with Aditya. He also took a picture of Aditya when the young man appeared on stage. His face was blissful. It feels unbearable to take back the happiness of the man.

Long enough, Dewi looked at Aditya's smiling face, showing her dimples. His hand moved rubbing the handsome face of the young man. While his mind tried to remember what Aditya had done for him. Even Aditya still hasn't taken the ATM that was deposited on him.

The goddess decided to leave the room to meet Nenden. It seems his mother had not fallen asleep. In times of worry like this, complaining with his mother is the best choice. The goddess woke up and then came out of the room. It looks like Nenden is preparing cooking ingredients for shubuh later. The girl sat down beside Nenden.

“Not sleeping, neng.”

“Not yet, ma'am,” Dewi hugged Nenden's arm and leaned her head there.

“Why?”

“Bu.. Mom never liked two guys?”

“Pernah time SMA.”

“Masa? Whom do you choose?”

“Ngga no one mom choose.”

“Loh how is it?”

“Because between the two there is nothing that I like,” Nenden giggled amusedly considering the white period of his ashes.

“Oh. Kirain mom likes either one or both.”

“Ngga. One's mom's best friend, another's a classmate. But I don't have any feelings for them. So there is no one you choose deh.”

“How do they go?”

“Ya accept with legowo. Wh why? Are you also saluting? Who has a crush on you? Roxas same as Adit?”

“Ish.. why do you call the plug.”

“Well who?”

The goddess was silent for a moment before finally telling her the turmoil of her heart all this time. Nenden is quite surprised to hear Adrian and Aditya are older sisters. But the woman did not want to interrupt the story of the child. He listened until the end.

“Nyebelin is really a Rian. She loves Adit but doesn't think about how I feel.”

“In your own opinion, Rian has no feelings for you?”

“I don't know, ma'am. All I know is she loves Adit. He will do anything for Adit's happiness, even though it hurts me.”

Nenden stopped his work, then pulled the child into his arms. He knew what the Goddess felt at this moment. At the age that is still growing up, it is only natural that this girl still feels upset.

“According to mother.You do not have to bother with love affairs like this. Think of it as a distraction in your life, which makes your life more vibrant. Make this a life lesson for you, so that you are stronger in the future and not easily lulled by someone's sweet attitude.”

“I mutusin to seriously same Adit.”

“Do that which is your heart's choice. But remember, don't play with someone's feelings. You yourself are not happy to be played. If you've chosen Adit, then focus on it. Adit's a good, hard-working kid. If he were to mate with you, I'm sure he'd be a good priest to you.”

“That's yes, bu.”

“Hem..it's night, sana sleep. Don't forget to read the prayer first.”

“Iya, bu.”

The goddess moved from her place and entered the room. He put his body back on the bed. His intention of giving Aditya a chance was already unanimous. Now he will just focus on the young man without thinking about anything else, including Adrian. About the man's feelings, Dewi believes Adrian deliberately told her love in order to prevent him from being with Aditya. Just let him think he's just pretending to be Aditya, so the man will suffer more.

On Thursday, the Goddess is off for college. But he had to leave for campus because starting this week he officially worked as Adrian's assistant. Although still hides resentment at his lecturer, he must be professional. The girl had to take quiz sheets from all the classes she had checked and recap their grades all.

At exactly two o'clock Dewi has arrived at the campus. He immediately stepped his feet towards the lecturer room. From the outside he could see Adrian sitting checking his student quiz. After knocking on the door and saying his greetings, he entered the room. There was only Adrian there. The goddess sat down directly before the man.

Seeing the arrival of the Goddess, Adrian did not necessarily stop his work. He continued to check the results of the last class quiz. The Goddess patiently waited for the man to finish. His hand reached into the cell phone inside the bag as soon as he heard the clinking sound.

From Lesung Pipi Beloved :

Over where?

To Lesung Pipi Keseangan :

On campus.

From Lesung Pipi Beloved :

Not holiday?

To Lesung Pipi Keseangan :

Ja. This is gonna take the quiz results.

From Lesung Pipi Beloved :

Want me to pick it up?

To Lesung Pipi Keseangan :

Be able. Go straight to the lecturer room. I'm the same as your brother.

From Lesung Pipi Beloved :

Ok.

Their chat ended. The goddess put the phone back in the bag. Adrian is not done with his work. The goddess chose to circulate her gaze around the room. See the photos that are displayed. It seems that this department has received many awards.

“This is a quiz of children from another class. The right recap. At the end you just have to sum up their values and take the average.”

“Iya, sir,” Dewi took a sheet of paper from Adrian's hand.

“You haven't told me your request,” Adrian stared straight at the Goddess without blinking.

“Oh about it. The request is rather personal, nothing?”

“Tell me.”

Adrian leaned his back against the chair while folding both hands. As much as possible he was relaxed, even though his heart was beating. The goddess took a deep breath before revealing her request.

“I ask you not to be in a relationship with any woman until the level rises. Can sir?”

Actually Adrian was surprised to hear the narration of the Goddess. Didn't expect that the girl mentioned such a request. Dewi deliberately said that in order to prevent Adrian from connecting with Jiya. He was afraid that if he saw Adrian with the woman, his goal close to Aditya would change. She also wants to cultivate feelings for Aditya, before completely taking Adrian off her heart.

“Why would you ask for such a thing? Are you jealous when you see me close to another woman?”

“Jealous? Kaya. But you have to stay single until next year. That's the fee I'm asking for because you've played with my feelings. But it's up to you what not. If I don't want to, what can I do. But enough to prove to me, father what kind of person.”

“Good. I accept your request.”

“What request?”

Aditya's voice suddenly interrupted the conversation of the two. Aditya entered the room and sat down beside the Goddess. Heart of the Goddess Ketar-ketir, do not let Aditya hear their conversation earlier.

“What request?” ask Aditya again.

“I asked for a salary from your brother. He made me his assistant. Loss dong if not ask for salary,” whispered Dewi in the ears of Aditya but can still be heard Adrian.

“Write your account number. Every fourth week I will transfer your salary.”

Adrian gave a piece of paper to the Goddess. The girl quickly wrote down her account number. Aditya was surprised because the account number written was his account that was entrusted to the Goddess.

“De.. Why even give me my account number?”

“I don't have an account yet. So put it on you first. Consider it a joint savings for our future,” Dewi threw her sweet smile.

“You're serious?” aditya asked while looking into the eyes of the girl in front of him deeply.

“Huum.”

A smile was imprinted on Aditya's face. It cannot be described how he feels at this moment. Adrian just looked at the interaction of the two people in front of him with an expression that was difficult to decipher. What was clear was that sentence after sentence that they threw, successfully scratched the wound in his heart.

🌸🌸🌸

“Dit..” call Toni when the child is about to enter her room.

“Iya, pa.”

Toni patted the empty space next to her. Adit approached and sat there. Toni pulled out her phone and showed me something.

“That's who, pa?” aditya asked when he saw Toni showing her her name on her cell phone.

“This is Mr. Husni. He is a music producer. Yesterday papa sent you a video of you while performing at the cafe. He's interested in being your band producer.”

“Serious, pa?”

“Iya. But you and the others have a lot of practice first. It's better if you have a song of your own creation.”

“That's yes, pa. Okay deh, I'll obrolin again with the others.”

Aditya is happy now that his father fully supports his choice of heart. Even Toni was willing to contact her friend who was a producer. So happy he hugged Toni full of haru.

“Thank you, pa.”

“Pardon papa for being late to do this.”

“Ngga is late, pa.”

Aditya breaks his embrace. Ida came from the kitchen to bring snacks for her son and husband. After putting food on the table, the woman sat herself down on an empty sofa.

“You.. there is another intention of college no?” ask Toni carefully.

“If I said, no. Is papa angry?”

“Ngga. That is your decision, papa will not force anymore which is not your heart's choice.”

“Still, pa.”

“Ad where?” ask Tony to Ida. Because only his eldest son had not joined them.

“Custom, in his room.”

“Try calling your sister here.”

Aditya got up from his seat then headed for the brother's room. After knocking on the door, the young man entered the room. Adrian was sitting behind his desk. He immediately stopped his work as soon as Aditya approached.

“Bang. called papa.”

“What's up? Tumben.”

“Nblunt aja, bang.”

Adrian turned off his laptop and stood up and walked out of his desk. Before exiting the room, he held Aditya down first. He wants to reassure Aditya's relationship with the Goddess.

“You are the same Goddess...”

“Goddess give me a second chance, bang. He also tried to catch me. Doain aja, bang. Hopefully we'll mate.”

“You're sure he's serious? Don't want to play you?” adrian asked carefully.

“Ngga know too, bang. I just hope he's serious. Even if he only plays with me, I consider it a risk that I have to bear.”

“You love her so much?”

“According to brother?”

No response from Adrian. Without the sister answering, she could already see the look of love in both her eyes. Adrian just threw a faint smile. Deep down she wished Dewi seriously with her remarks and properly rethink her relationship with Aditya. Even so, he had to prepare for heartache.

“Abang itself how?”

“What?”

“Not that brother likes someone anymore, how about bang?”

“It's over.”

“Kok can?”

“He was angry with brother because brother only PHP he aja.”

“Seriously? Why PHP-in brother? Don't tell me you still haven't moved on from Ara.”

“Ck. You why the hell did he stay there,” annoyed Adrian.

“Yes aja, bang. Since the same Ara, brother has not looked close to other girls. My brother hasn't moved on.”

Adrian chose to sit on the side of the bed. Aditya who saw that sat by his side. It seems like there is something that this brother wants to tell you.

“Actually..a long time brother has no feeling the same Ara. Since college level two.”

“Serious bang?”

Just a nod given by Adrian. He then told the reason why his heart had easily turned away from Ara. She used to love Ara, in her eyes Ara was not only a beautiful woman, but also supple and intelligent. He was even willing to be pulled by his feelings by the woman. But everything changed after with his own eyes he saw Ara making out with one of his lecturers.

“Crazy girl,” cetus Aditya after Adrian finished storytelling.

“Makanya, do not contact again brother same woman.”

“Iya, bang. Sorry deh. But why are PHP brothers a girl?”

“Actually he already has a partner. At first, I didn't know, but after I found out, my brother stepped back and he was angry. Brother just doesn't want to be a lover of people.”

“Oh. Maybe he's not your brother's mate. Just relax, bang. One day my brother will get the right girl. Relax, there is me who always supports brother.”

Aditya embraces Adrian's shoulder while revealing his dimple. Adrian could only smile. Seeing the happy sister could at least treat her wounded heart. He then took his sister out of the room. They sat together in the living room talking about unimportant things. Occasionally there was the sound of their laughter on the sidelines of the conversation.

“Ma.. aunt Pipit when you want to come back here?” ask Adrian.

“Ngga knows, he said in five or six months. I'm tired of mama's mouth asking her to come back.”

Ida complained about her youngest sister who was very difficult to manage. His younger brother was only three years different from Adrian. Before he married Toni, it turned out that the mother was pregnant again, until their distance was very far.

“Tante has no intention of marriage?” it was Aditya's turn to ask.

“Do not ask mom. Ask the same person later if you come here.”

“Tante want to stay here?”

“He said so. Wait for his employment contract in Japan to settle, continue to want to return to Indo. But she doesn't dare go home to your grandmother. So just want to be here, all looking for work here. Later please find a job for him, Ad.”

“Tante is smart ma, he must have a new job before he came home. Sure enough, mama don't have to worry.”

“Hopefully aja.”

I heard Ida sigh. If you remember the youngest brother, suddenly his head becomes dizzy. Before leaving Indonesia three years ago, the girl had run away when she would be betrothed by her mother. Hopefully, his nature has changed when he comes home later.
