Shackles of Love

26. First Kiss

“Kak, just this once.” Keisha Pinta.

**************

Arfian let go of his embrace. Keisha's eyes.

Arfian summarized Keisha's face with both hands.

“Kei, forgive Brother...”.

“Yes God forgive me if I do the forbidden thing again.” Arfian said apologetic words in his heart.

Arfian brought his face closer to Keisha's.

The thumb of Arfian's right hand gently rubbed Keisha's thin, pink lips.

Arfian slightly bent his body.

“Key...”.

Keisha closed her eyelids, looking as though a tear had trickled out past her closed eyelids.

Arfian's lips lightly kiss Keisha's eyelids on the right, then suck the eyelids on the left. After that, Arfian's lips kissed the top of the nose, the cheeks to the left and right Keisha.

Keisha's eyes opened. His lips were slightly open to say something.

Not yet Keisha opened her mouth, Arfian lips lightly kissed Keisha's lips.

Keisha closed both of her eyelids. He was trying to recall the taste of Arfian lips on his lips. He will remember this feeling all his life. Perhaps Keisha would never again feel this slashing kiss as well as melt her heart. He tried to live and keep these memories in his heart.

Keisha felt the thumb of Arfian's hand again stroke her lips gently.

Keisha opened his eyes. Happy tears are flooded.

“Thank you, Brother. Thank you for this lovely first kiss. I'm so happy.” Keisha said with a happy smile that spread on her lips.

“Key...” Arfian

Arfian bent his body again. His hands cupped Keisha's face. Her lips kissed Keisha's lips again. This time it was not just a light kiss. Arfian lips kiss inside Keisha's lips.

Keisha opened her clenched lips to say something to Arfian. Before Keisha could even say those words, Arfian deepened his kiss.

Keisha closed his eyes again and thoroughly enjoyed what Arfian lips did to his lips.

Arfian released his kiss and rubbed Keisha's lips with his thumb.

“Pardon Brother Fian, Kei…..Sister no...”

“Do not apologize Brother.” Keisha hugged Arfian's body tightly as if unwilling to lose.

“Kak, thank you for everything. Thank you for loving Kei even though Kei often makes you sad and disappointed. After this, Kei promises will not make Kak Fian sad and disappointed again.” Keisha hugged Arfian.

“Sister Fian is very dear to you, Kei” Arfian is no less tightly hugging Keisha as if he does not want to lose as well. Arfian felt that Keisha would completely disappear from her life if she did not embrace it. Arfian did not want it to happen so that made him tighten his embrace even more.

Keisha is sobbing in Arfian arms.

“I love Brother Fian.” so much that he cried, Keisha said a sentence he never said before. A love sentence directed from a woman to a man.

“I love you too, Kei.” says Arfian.

Keisha let go of her embrace. Lips smile. His eyes looked at Arfian's eyes.

Arfian kisses Keisha's head.

“Goodbye, Brother.” Said Keisha while hugging back the Arfian body tightly.

****************

Keisha came out of the Arfian bedroom. Tears rolled back from his eyes.

Keisha walked down the stairs. Upon reaching the bottom floor, he did not see the two Arfian parents. Keisha thought that maybe both Arfian parents had already entered their bedroom. Keisha feels lucky that he did not meet Aunt Maya and Om Farid. If she met them, Keisha would probably be confused looking for answers if they asked her teary-eyed face.

“Om….Aunties….Kei go home first yaa….Assalamu’alaikum..” Keisha immediately ran across the living room and living room to get out of the Arfian house, fearing that Om Farid and Aunt Maya had caught him crying.

In the front garden, Keisha meets Mas Paijo, the driver of the Arfian family.

“Mas Paijo Call Keisha.

“What's Non Kei…? Ask Paijo.

“Mas, this is my letter yes.” Keisha.

“Surat to whom Non…? Make me?” Ask Paijo.

“Create Kak Fian lah, time for Mas Paijo sih.” Keisha was upset.

“Ya kirain Non Kei prank you letter to me.” Sahut Paijo's.

“But check the mail not now yes.” Keisha Pinta.

“Loh, so when should I give the letter to Den Fian…? Tanya Paijo's

“Two more days just send the letter to Kak Fian well. Mas Paijo had to keep it a secret. Can't you…? Ask Keisha.

“Siap Non Kei!!!...so the new Sunday I sell it is Non..?” Ask Paijo.

“Bby..monday is also okay. Anyway not now or tomorrow yes.”

“Siap to do..!” sahut Paijo while giving a respectful attitude.

“Still Yes Mas Paijo.” Keisha said thank you.

“Sama-sama, Non. Be careful on the road Yes Non.”

“Dah Mas Paijo's. See you sometime.” Keisha.

“Loh indeed Non Kei where to say see you sometime?” Tanya Paijo wonder.

“There's. Secret.” Keisha Sahut.

Keisha leaves the Arfian house for the car. There was already waiting for the driver of the Arrasyid family, Mang Ujang.

“Has business done, Neng? “Tanya Mang Ujang's.

“Udah Mang, now we go straight home yes. Mang Ujang will have to sleep early, tomorrow morning between Kei to the airport.” Keisha.

“Siap, Neng.”

Mang Ujang immediately ran his car to drive Keisha home. There was only silence during the trip. Mang Ujang already knew that his master's daughter would go far and might be long. Mang Ujang must have missed the beauty of his master's daughter.
