39 — My Love

This morning Kezia asked Vernon's permission to go to his parents' house. Kezia is too bored to be at home all day. Therefore Kezia decided to meet his mother and ask further about the arrival of Bennedict.

"So when is Brother Ben coming, Ma?" asked Kezia while occasionally feeding Excelo who plays with toy cars. Excelo slams and throws the toy making Kezia have to pick it up so Excelo doesn't whine.

"Em..two more weeks maybe, Kez. They're still confused. Anyway this month they will come." replied Mrs. Lidya then told the housemaid to prepare lunch.

Kezia only ooh ria. Since Excelo had already finished his meal, Kezia decided to take Excelo to the room and put him to bed. Excelo has been pretty submissive lately. The boy is closer to Vernon despite often whining for the sly Kezia. Vernon also did not stop indulging Excelo even though Kezia had forbidden to buy many toys. It would litter the place if the number almost filled the room. Not infrequently many toys that are not shaped because of Excelo.

Kezia drops down after Excelo sleeps. Mrs. Lidya had already prepared lunch and told Kezia to have lunch before resting.

In the kitchen a lot of waiters passed by and some of them cleaned Excelo toys.

"Ma, how about Excelo Kezia's plaything?" asked Kezia then sat down and looked at the mother who was preparing the dishes.

Mrs. Lidya frowned then came to sit down after giving the plate to Kezia, "Why? Excelo gasuka toy? From earlier mama saw he was very active with his toys."

"It's not that, Ma. Excelo toys are too many. Instead of being destroyed by Excelo, Kezia can contribute to Mbok Uma's grandson."

Mrs. Lidya chuckled, "As far as you are, Kez. His name is also a boy if it's not destroyed ya on the slam."

Kezia nodded and laughed.

"Oh, what is your relationship with your husband? Does he like cheating?" ask Mrs. Lidya with flat.

Kezia blinked his eyes many times. Her mother switched the conversation quickly and had a different theme. Kezia was a little surprised.

"Vernon has nothing to do with Sarah, Ma. We're fine too. Vernon has changed."

"Related you?" ask Mrs. Lidya, Kezia just nodded. "Yaudah, that's good. Mama can't tolerate what your husband did if it makes you run away again. You don't think you're worried about when you leave here until no one can find you?"

"Ma..."

Mrs. Lidya clucked at the sight of her youngest child. Kezia knows very well the attitude of his mother who likes to offend problems in the past. It's nothing, but Mrs. Lidya like this because it gave birth to Kezia who was too good and easily forgave the mistakes of others.

"Ish.mama's just asking, Kez." Mrs. Lidya gave a side dish on Kezia's plate, "How did it go? Do you have any intention of giving me another grandchild?"

Kezia almost choked, just looked at his mother with a plea, "Kan Kak Ben already ma. Kezia still wants to rest a little bit."

"You're like your papa, Kez. Know what you are? Yesterday mama touched on your problem, and papa you said he told give a distance of two years for Excelo sister later. Let's not like Ben who likes to be able to have children. Cassian Ann is overwhelmed." Mrs. Lidya laughed considering his son-in-law who often told me that his son did not bus far from his wife. It was fortunate that Bennedict had a patient wife Anne.

"Udah ah, Ma. Look at it later. Kezia has just finished his hiatus. Kezia's time has to go on hiatus again?"

"Haha.iya, yaudah spit it out before it gets cold."

Mrs. Lidya chooses to be quiet after all-out teasing her youngest child. At least Mrs. Lidya knows about her son. So there is no need to interfere in household affairs between Kezia and Vernon.

Kezia says goodbye to go home. Vernon was waiting for him in front of the house. The man also came home earlier than usual. Kezia thinks maybe the problem in the office can be solved well. Vernon is no ordinary person either. Although Kezia was a little worried because Vernon could not sleep well before this.

"Good night, Mister." Vernon greeted Mr. Rivijaya is polite. Because Mrs. Lidya is out to see an old friend as a result Mr. Riwijaya who drove Kezia to the door.

"You're home fast. Not usually, is there a problem?" if previously Kezia thought that Vernon came home from work sooner is a good thing. Contrary to Mr. Riwijaya who certainly knew that something had happened to her daughter-in-law.

Vernon closed his lips, "No, Mister." replied Vernon with a faint smile.

Mr. Riwijaya simply raised her eyebrows and gave a smile of an in-law. "Alright, if there's anything you can tell." Mr. Rivijaya chuckled softly, "Job problem or something else. And please call me your father. I don't want to look like your boss" said Mr. Riwijaya and make Vernon a little relieved. Vernon is often awkward when dealing directly with his in-laws.

"Good.dad."

"Be careful on the road. You brought my favorite son."

"Lad..."

"Good, dad. I say goodbye first. Thank you for accompanying me, Kezia."

Mr. Riwijaya nodded again and saw the three people in front of her start to enter the car. Until Vernon's car was not seen and the gate of the house was closed slowly by security guards. Secretly Mr. Riwijaya understood the problems her son-in-law was facing. The man should be able to finish everything before Mr. Rivijaya lost faith a second time.

"Sounds like you need a break?" Kezia came to bring a cup of coffee for her husband who looked dreamy.

Vernon regained consciousness and took off his work glasses, seeing his wife come in with a cup of coffee. Vernon smiled as Kezia looked worried to make her heart warm.

"Yes seems. But I need you more."

Kezia was misguided by Vernon's statement. He quickly put down the coffee cup and was about to turn around.

"Kez, can you massage my shoulder for a moment?" Vernon prevents Kezia from leaving because he feels that she is the source of his spirit. Kezia seemed to think for a while and then nodded according to Vernon's will.

"Let's rest for a while you also need time to recover, Vernon." Kezia started massaging Vernon's shoulders slowly. Vernon also sighed comfortably due to Kezia's touch that made his shoulders relax.

"Ugh, Kez, yeah right there. God, I just found out you're good at massaging."

Kezia's cheeks met with red until he subconsciously pressed hard on Vernon's shoulder.

"Aw, slow down Kez."

"Sorry."

Kezia did a gentle massage until Vernon told him to stop. It seems Vernon does need a break because his condition has not fully recovered otherwise his emotions can return unstable.

"Come here." Vernon told Kezia to sit on his lap. Kezia opened his mouth to see Vernon's orders.

"Kez.." nervously Kezia complies with Vernon's will. Now their position is very close. Even Vernon began to put his head in the recess of Kezia's neck. The man sniffed softly on Kezia's earlobe and inhaled Kezia's very distinctive fragrance. The aroma that always makes Vernon addicted to it.

"Until when are we gonna be like this? You haven't been able to take me back?"

"Sorry..."

Vernon let out a disappointed sigh, "Hm. It's all my fault, too. There's still plenty of time but I can't hold it any further. You're driving me crazy, Kez."

Kezia bit her lips hard and closed her eyes. She remembered her mother's words while she was in the shop. Kezia couldn't run away from his responsibilities this time.

"We can do it now" Kezia said softly and opened her eyes slowly. Turning his head until his gaze whistled with Vernon's eyes that looked muddled with passion.

"Kez—" Vernon held his head close until their noses touched each other, Vernon smiled faintly, "No, I don't want to force you."

Kezia faced forward again, "I don't feel compelled. I want it too." Kezia looked surprised at his own words. But that's what Kezia's been feeling all along. Kezia felt the same way that Vernon felt. But the painful shadow always made Kezia doubtful.

"Sweetheart..."

"If you don't want me to go back to the room." Kezia was about to stand up but was restrained when he felt Vernon's hand begin to circle around his waist. Vernon's lips did not stay still, the man deliberately attached it to Kezia's sensitive neck to consciously make Kezia feel amused.

Kezia couldn't make them endure the pain for longer? They both want it. So maybe this is the beginning to forget everything. Because today the world belongs to them. Together combine love and share taste.
