Taste and Lust

Chapter 23

Seeing Afia enter his room makes Hendry stop his steps, he is unlikely to enter the room. "Why? come on in" take Afia.

"No, I'll just wait outside" Hendry replied, refusing.

"Yes, this is my father's room. If my room is there, I sleep with my sister. Wait, well, I'll take your clothes first".

"Mmmm" nods Hendry.

Not long after that Afia took a pair of clothes from her father, she immediately gave in the hands of Hendry. "The bathroom is there Hend, you take a shower first" he pushed on Hendry's back.

"Why don't you go first with Fia?".

"It's okay. Come on hunt" the more push Afia on Hendry's back.

"If so I take a shower first" went into the bathroom. Then Afia approached her mother, and she saw her mother heating her dinner to a cold one. "Mother, you're not home yet?".

"Yes, as usual your father must be at a gambling shop".

Afia sighed, "Continue brother Naura where is ma'am?".

"Your brother is in the room".

"Oohh, is this Afia tea buk?"

"Yes, drink. Your friend where's Fia?".

"Lately in the bathroom, Mom. Mmmm, ma'am can Afia ask?".

"What's Fia?".

"Mommy likes it? because Afia likes him she's bu ehehehe, he's a good kid Afia's met".

Her mother immediately smiled at Afia who really liked the man she just called, "Somehow does my daughter like that man?".

"Mmmm, but I don't say the same to her. Fia shy".

"Yes, I won't tell you...

"What's this?" cut Naura out of the room to see Afia and her mother talking about something she doesn't know. "What is your mother talking about?".

His mother smiled, "No, your sister's mom isn't talking about anything. Let's take a shower, she's out".

"Ooo, whoa.. That outfit is perfect for you Hend" Afia's thumb saw it.

"really? but a little big".

"It's okay, the important thing is that you're comfortable wearing it".

"Mmmmm" Hendry's smile with sweetness to make both cheeks Afia blushed just look at Hendry's smile, as well as Naura who suddenly liked the smile.

"He who?" ask Naura.

"He's a classmate and also Afia's coworker" he replied.

Naura laughed, "Sial, it's still brondong" and asked her mother to make a glass of warm milk. Then Afia entered the bathroom, and her mother told Hendry to come closer while giving her a glass of warm tea. "Wait a minute, I should've seen you. But where?" muttered Naura remembered Hendry's slightly familiar face.

Hendry smiled faintly, "At the stop, I've met you at the stop. You offered me a rented room".

"Well, your memory is amazing too. Where do you live now? don't tell Afia to take you here. The boy" upset Naura received her warm milk.

"No, I just drove her home here, I can't bear to let Afia come home alone in the rain like this".

Naura laughed, "Well, Afia is used to going home alone in the rain like this. If you don't believe it, ask him yourself. You're kind to him, do you like him?".

"Mmmm, I like it" replied Hendry, thinking twice.

"Who?" snatched one from behind them.

Darius the father of Naura and Afia walked up to them, he looked at Hendry sharply. "Who are you?".

Hendry smiled, "Hallo om, meet my name Hendry. I'm a classmate of Afia's and also her one of her work" replied Hendry lowered his head politely to do things he had never done before.

Darius raised Hendry's head, looking at him more and more keenly wanting to swallow him. Then Hendry remembered the incident that had happened to Afia when Darius chased him with his belt right in the middle of the road. Then Larasati stopped Darius, "Dad, don't scare him like that" he said.

"Shut up" snapped. Then saw Hendry return who was not at all afraid of him, "Who's your name?".

"Hendry" he answered.

While Afia who just came out of the bathroom made her immediately frightened and preferred to hide behind the wall rather than approaching them. But Hendry had seen it first, he looked very angry at Darius who was looking at him sharply.

Then Hendry smiled back, "Sorry om. Did I make a mistake until I saw me like this?".

"So I heard your conversation, don't you know yourself?".

"I mean om?".

Darius grinned at her, "You think since you have this kind of face I will let you approach my daughter? you better know yourself getting close to my daughter, she opens up a woman you can approach so easily. Now you're out of this house!".

"Dad it's night" Larisa said, trying to stop Darius.

"I don't care, get out of the rum..

"Dad, don't drive Hendry" Afia out of hiding. He saw Darius with a face begging him not to drive Henry away from there. "Afia please father, don't drive Hendry out of this house".

"Afia it's okay, if your father kicked me out of here, I'll go".

"Don't go Hend, it's been a very night and the rain outside hasn't stopped either".

"Let go of him Afia" snapped Darius.

"No dad, don't throw him out".

"Dad doesn't care. Get the hell out of my house, and don't ever go near my daughter again. And you too Fia, if you get caught befriending him again, I'll punish you. Youunderstand?".

"Fia beg father, Afia please don't throw Hendry hiks" he cried pleading.

Hendry sighed, he saw that Afia and Naura's mother who just kept quiet could not say what to help him to stay in the house. "If that's why Hendry came home aunty, sorry for making such a mess".

"Hendry you can't go. What do you want to ride home to? it's 12 o'clock".

"Don't worry about me Afia, I can call my friend here".

"You're lying, you think I believe?".

Then Darius pulled Afia, "Sana's gone" kicked her out.

"Mmmm, if so I go first" he told them all to carry his bag. He immediately came out of the house, then Hendry pulled his phone out of the bag which he had hidden from calling the number of his three friends who were still connected. "Hallo Chan, where are you?".

"Home, what's up, Hend?".

"I'm out in the rain, Chan, can you come out for a minute? I just called Abian and Dafa's number, it looks like they're asleep".

"Mmmm, I'll come pick you up. Where are you now?".

"On the street xxx".

"Ok, I'll be there soon".

"Thank you Chan's".

"mmm".

Hendry ran out of the terrace of Afia's house to where they had stopped down from the taxi.
