Backlog



For the umpteenth time the man who was currently drooping down on me, made me drown in a sea of honey. Until I had trouble controlling my breathing which was still so crazy.


"What is the content of your conversation" I asked when I was a little able to control my heartbeat.


Instead of answering, Aksa dyed my forehead, then moved to lay himself beside me.


Feeling that my question did not get an answer, I exhaled a sigh of resignation and tilted my back.


Aksa's left arm moved around my neck, I felt her close her body to me and wrapped her right hand around my stomach.


"He wants us to confess our affair" whispered Mas Aksa who put his face on the back of my head. "So the image of him in the public eye will be better, and he is the only person who is despised according to him" he continued to peek at the back of my head, then down to the shoulder.


"I don't understand your words" I said trying to hold back the bristling fur because Aksa's lips were getting wild on my back. "What do you mean?"


Because he did not answer, and instead more intensely touched my back with a soft sip from his lips, I tried to escape while stopping his activities. He raised one of his eyebrows when I turned around and confronted him.


"You haven't answered my question" I said as I pulled the blanket up to my chest, while my back rested perfectly on the headboard.


Instead of being angry because of my forced stop, he looked at me with a smile, then supported his head with one hand.


"Why does he force us to confess to an affair we didn't commit?" My eyes did not blink when I asked.


"Because of the_"


Geck, tock, tock....


The sound of that knock, cutting Aksa's words, made us compactly turn our gaze towards the door.


Mas Aksa hurriedly put on his shorts then got out of bed.


"What's up Ani?" he asked when he opened the door.


"Have been waiting for dinner with Grandpa and Grandma mas" said Mbak Ani. The ART grandmother I was expecting was about 35 years old.


"Say grandfather, Khansa is coming down soon"


I was intending to continue the conversation, I urung did when glancing at the clock has shown the time almost seven.


"You take a shower first, I'll go with Grandma for dinner" I said, dressed in my clothes, then rushed downstairs.


"Where, why not come down?" The question was from grandfather when I got to the dining room.


"Still showering the cake" I replied as I pulled up the chair and sat down.


"Didn't he enter the room from earlier, how did he just take a shower?"


"Yes, there was a friend on the phone" I was a little nervous about answering Grandpa's question. Then he just nodded his head in response to my words.


After a few seconds, it was the grandmother's turn to ask "What time did she leave?"


"Half nine grandmas"


"Send me to eat before I go"


"Yes"


Almost finished our meal, Aksa suddenly appeared and pulled the chair next to me.


Seeing that he was already sitting in his place, I immediately grabbed the plate and put the rice and side dishes on the plate.


"How many days in Papua?" asked grandpa while enjoying his last mouthful.


"Three days cake, why?"


"Go back from there, come to the company, greet your employees occasionally, and check their work"


"Yes cake"


"And you're Sa" Grandfather's words made me turn to him immediately. "Don't think about the news of the affair circulating in the media, grandfather did not bother with the accusations of Cecilia for you, so grandfather asked you also not to think that baseball"


My head reflexively nodded, but I still did not understand what he said, but a second later I understood what grandfather meant.


After saying that, grandfather gulped the water in his glass down to the toilet. Sit for a while, before standing up.


"You go on, grandpa's done"


Me and Aksa compactly nodded their heads.

After eating, bathing and praying Isa, I again checked the Aksa mass equipment that will be brought to Papua. He will be addressing public health issues there. My mind was busy thinking about the comments written on social networks. Because earlier, I had opened the news that said that Sesilia had evidence of my affair with Aksa.


Until now, I didn't understand the evidence he meant. Especially when reading one of the comments that said for Sesilia to immediately provide evidence of that.


My mentality was completely swayed because some of the comments from them actually vilified me and Aksa mas, to the point that I was horrified myself when reading his spicy comments. Not a few of them who actually gave support for his idol, even a lot of netizens who prayed for success for Sesilia and immediately got a better replacement from the doctor the cheat. My face warmed up for a moment while recalling those comments.


"Yes" sahut mas Aksa while wearing a jacket. "We talked about this after I came home from Papua" he continued, then wrapped the clock on his wrist.


"You take a break, baby, do not need to send ahead, and do not think of the assortment, let alone think of the comments of the netizens"


"Why don't you think, they're denouncing us mas"


"It's okay, they don't know the real story. They only draw conclusions from one side. And from the side of the Caecilian that will make his prestige continue to rise"


I exhaled slowly.


"I've told you, I will cover her mouth with her affair if she dares to spread the false evidence" continued Aksa and then kissed me on the forehead. "It won't last long, so don't think about it. It'll subside on its own, got it?"


"But if the gossip of the actor, it will usually last a long time" I said trying to refute his words.


"We talk another time yes, I'm too late" After saying that, Aksa's mass kissed my lips which I replied by kissing the back of his hand.


"Assynogaic"


"Girishal"

After the departure of Aksa, I was busy with sales notebooks and restaurant finances. Only a day of gossip circulated, but it had made the turnover in some branches of my restaurant decrease by half. Some turnover decreases due to reduced order by phone that so many people make purchases online.


I'm still wondering why Sesilia insisted we admit to an affair that we didn't. The first reason is obviously to attract fans, and increase its rating. Why should it be that way.


Not how long my phone was ringing. Incoming call from Meira.


"Assalamu'alaikum"


"Waalaikumsalah. What's sister again?"


"Throughout, why?"


"Aren't you eating?" That's my mommy, whose face I last saw about five days ago.


"Mih already?"


"You're okay, baby, you're not bothered by your news, are you?"


"It's okay, it's only natural that they suspect me and Aksa are cheating, it's because our marriage happened not long after Aksa's break with the artist"


"Mommy's relieved that you're okay"


"That's Sasa's sister huh?" Sela papi whose voice was caught by my hearing. "Yes" answered papi. While I just kept quiet while listening to their voices from behind the phone. "Greet Sister mi" Imbuh papi.


"Greetings from papi kak"


"Vaalaikumsalam. Greetings to mih"


"Greetings from her sister pi"


"Waalaikumsalam, say thank you and always take care of your health"


"Denger papi not talking sis?"


"Listen mih, take care of health also for papi"


"Yes, by the way, the papa's gone to the study"


"Here you are, Meira wants to talk to you brother. Hello brother" Sapa Meira after taking over her phone. "Sir Aksa's leaving tomorrow right? I'm bobo that's okay, nemenin brother?"


"Indeed not crying bobo here, usually it is not***** first to mami"


"Ish big brother, there is no satisfaction ngeledekin adek himself. I'm already big brother, which is true ****" Meira grumbled as if he did not accept. "do not be too outrageous if it hurts me" his protest that made me immediately curl my lips.


"Yes, come here tomorrow, or go to your sister's restaurant first, so you can both go home to Rudito's grandfather's house"


"Ok brother"


****


The next morning, I went straight to the restaurant as soon as I finished breakfast.


I drove my car at low speed. While passing through a hotel, netraku suddenly caught om Rendi's car coming out of the hotel gate. What made me stunned and reflexively gulped was the passenger in the car. Mbak Gina, smiling while glancing at Rendi who focused on holding the wheel while waiting for the empty road to cross.


My car was right behind someone's car because it was waiting for a queue of traffic jams, very clearly visible from the direction of me the faces of both of them.


This half, they're out of there? It is impossible for my eyes to see wrong, it is very clear Mbak Gina and Om Rendi.
