"Dad?"
Brian is surprised to find Malik already inside Billy's apartment when he enters. It seemed that the two men were having a serious conversation before he came.
Looking at his father in surprise, he asked, "What is Dad here?"
"There's something I'm talking to Billy about" Malik replied in a calm voice while glancing at Billy for a moment. Then, the man turned his gaze to Brian before finally adding with great emphasis. "With you too."
"I already know what you want to say."
As if knowing what Malik wanted to say, Brian said so in a relaxed tone while sitting with his legs crossed.
Brian does know Billy's apartment pass code, so he can enter the luxury apartment whenever he wants.
"It's good that you know. Means you don't have to bother starting it, no" Malik said with an ironic smile.
"Brian–" Billy who saw there was a spark of tension between Father and son immediately interjected. He did not want the spark to ignite and flare up to make both of them burn with anger. "We already have a lot of evidence, you should stop so that your wife does not become a victim" he said with a worried face.
However, instead of accepting Billy's proposal, Brian was calm as if he had a final strategy.
"I don't want to be in a hurry to take Bill's step, I have my own way to solve this problem."
"But Brian" said Billy. "The more you buy time, the more it will endanger your wife's life!" Billy raised his tone. He judged Brian too weak to face the in-laws.
"Hey, lower your tone, Bill! I know what I have to do," sighed Brian after charging Billy with anger.
"I'm like this because I care about you, Brian! You shouldn't have mortgaged Mayang's safety!" billy won't lose either. Facing the stubborn man in front of him actually made him rise in blood.
"What care are you to me, huh!" Brian got up from his seat then stepped closer to Billy who was sitting on the sofa opposite.
The collar of Billy's shirt was so strong that the man stood up. "You even forced me to be nice to Karla. What for!" brian snapped in front of Billy's face, while his hand also strengthened the grip.
"Of course, so you can get some information from him!" Billy brushed Brian's hand hard to release his grip. "You don't think that woman has anything to do with that in-law you care about the most, huh!"
"You are my friend and foster brother. But you have no right to rule my life!" Brian pushed hard Billy's body to stagger backwards.
Banging in disbelief, Billy then berated Brian. "You're a selfish man!"
"Already! Stop this fight!"
Malik, who had been silent since then, finally spoke up to break up. Making the two men who were struggling suddenly look together and then look down with a huffed face.
"Do you think this is good, huh! With all the problems fighting, right? You're not solving problems, you're adding problems! Arguing will only drain the emotions." Malik watched the two stubborn men take turns. They investigate and wait for the reaction of the two.
Brian and Billy looked at each other. Sighs deeply before finally sitting back in their chairs.
"Do you think I don't love my wife, do you?!" Brian's voice sounded like a stampede. But also protested against not accepting. "I love my wife more than my own life." Then with a sad face that was not made up.
"Then what was your purpose in coming here?" Malik asked with a curious face, because he thought Brian could not come here without any intention and purpose.
"I want to leave Mayang to Billy when I can't take care of him later."
" What?!" Malik and Billy are speaking at the same time. The two were shocked, looking at each other with confused faces.
"What do you mean?" Malik frowned with his body leaning closer to his son.
"I have my own plan. For otu I asked for your help Bill, protect Mayang more than you protect me. Prefer Mayang over me. I'm begging you as a friend." Brian's face pias as he spoke in a pleading tone.
Dismiss his attributes as a superior and speak as a friend. His eyes that look glazed - the glass shows that he has made a tough decision in his life.
"I entrust Mayang to you Bill," Brian again who makes Billy immediately trough.
"Without asking, I will definitely protect your wife. You take it easy." Billy tried to convince through the eyes full of confidence.
"Thank you Bill" said Brian sincerely. "I have to go home now. There was someone who was aiming at Mayang using a laser weapon." He said as he got up from his seat.
"Then did your wife come here?" Ask Malik.
"Yes." Yeah." Brian Lirih.
"You're really crazy."
* * *
Brian opened the room door and immediately felt relieved when he saw Mayang who had fallen asleep. Under the care of Ms. Kuswara and several female servants, Mayang was made sure not to get out of bed. Until he who was just pretending to sleep was really asleep.
"Thank you for looking after Bu Kus" said Brian sincerely.
"It has become my duty Young master," Bu Kuswara said before the end please resign.
Brian stepped on the edge of the bed by the side where Mayang lay. He sat on the lip of the bed. He looked at the face of the wife who looked slumbering in her comfortable sleep.
But the dry looks wrinkled as if there is something he is thinking about until carried away in his sleep. In his kiss the wife's forehead a little long, as if the kiss was for the last time.
* * *
Mayang blinked his eyes when he heard the sound of the morning adhan reverberating. Recollected by it last night when it arrived - suddenly the husband left her left in confusion that continues to disturb her until she fell asleep.
His attempt to trick the servants by pretending to sleep turned out to make him really fall asleep. Until when her husband came home, Mayang did not realize it. Husband? "Oh yes, my husband, where is my husband?!"
Mayang moved his hand to feel the empty spot beside him and found a pillow bolted diana. Then Mayang moved his neck to turn his head, it turned out Brian was at the end of the bed and fell asleep in his back position.
'What's wrong with her?' That question disturbs Mayang. There was a change in attitude towards her husband. Brian was always warm to her. Who does not want to let go of his embrace even though he is asleep.
Maybe he just won't disturb me. Honey, I'm sorry, who didn't realize your return, huh,
Mayang then crawled to get close to her husband. In his peck Brian's cheek from behind gently. The man did not react, he was still drowning in the cradle of his beautiful dreams.
Mayang then went to clean herself in the bathroom and do her usual activities while waiting for her husband to wake up.
Mayang is already beautiful today, is dressed neatly as usual and looks in the mirror with confidence and leaves with a smile.
When he returned to the room, he saw the husband who still had not moved from there. Mayang then swung his steps towards the bed. And bowed his body while peeking at Brian's cheek which seemed to still close his eyes tightly.
"Darling, waking up..." The whisper of a soft Mayang in Brian's ear.
Brian who felt disturbed seemed to blink his eyes. His hand reflexively grabbed Mayang's wrist which was gently rubbing his cheek.
Mayang smiled as Brian opened his eyes. But it was not a warm smile and kiss like the usual morning he received, but rather Brian's shock when he looked at him.
Brian jumped and spontaneously sat down while clasping Mayang's hand. " Sway! I'm gonna take a shower!" Brian said with a grouchy face.
"Dear what's wrong with you?" Mayang asked with a confused face.
"So you're blocking my way!" Snapped Brian while pushing Mayang's body to stagger back.
***
That morning Mayang started his day in a bad mood. Brian's change in attitude towards her really affected his mood. The confusion of surprise and curiosity mixed into one.
But Mayang still think positive and consider this is a natural thing. Maybe his mistake was so fatal that the husband could not forgive him. And maybe Brian was acting so just to have a deterrent effect on her.
Mayang feels empty life today. Without love from her husband. Without Brian's kisses and hugs. Mayang just realized, apparently Brian's gentle attitude has made him addicted. And when he missed it this morning, Mayang felt something was incomplete. Like something was missing from him.
With a lethargic face Mayang forced his feet to step towards the kitchen. He wants to find a home there. Do whatever he can. Life without activity really confines him to boredom.
However, his feet had not yet stepped in, Mayang's ears were long-goal hearing the sound of conversation from within.
Oh, so the servants here are also happy to gossip apparently. Caught wet y'all yeah...! Mayang grinned with satisfaction. From where he stood he then tried to steal the listen.
"Be careful when suddenly our husband changes attitude. He could be cheating." A first servant was heard by Mayang.
"That bill!" Another servant again. "If there's been such a sign, my wives should be on their guard."
Why is it fitting for the moment? Is it true that they said yes? Mayang muttered worriedly in his heart.
"If he is usually indifferent and then suddenly noticed, hemm. Or it could be the other way around."
"How can a husband always love his wife? I mean, let him not cheat on me? I was wondering if I'd marry the wrong guy." The voice of another servant who seemed young and single.
"The wife, besides being beautiful, must also be smart to cook." Said the senior servant
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes yes, if you buy continue to be extravagant. If the wife's cooking is good, the husband will definitely miss the same wife's cooking."
"Well right too."
"If love in the first sight of the eye descends to the heart, but if the love of the husband in the wife from the stomach, it descends to the heart! Ahaha!" The laughter of the servants echoed.
"Just don't cry if you laugh, then if Madame Mayang hears how?"
"Ah madam Mayang is very good person, she can not be angry." The adulation from the servant spontaneously made Mayang's heart flowery. Not bad, it slightly treated the voidness of his heart some time ago.
Congratulations, you're lucky you're not talking about me.
As soon as Mayang thought, their words had a point as well. Maybe with her smart cooking, Brian's behavior will not cool to her anymore.
Mayang carefully pulled his legs back a few steps, then walked normally towards the kitchen like nothing had happened before.
The servants who had been gossiping ria now seemed to stand while looking down politely. Then one of them took a step forward and started speaking up.
"If the Madam needs something we are ready to serve. She shouldn't bother going to the kitchen anymore."
"From now on it's okay, if I come here often." Mayang said while smiling at the waiter. However, apparently Mayang's words sounded ambiguous in their ears.
"Hahaha, not to watch over you guys huh, but I want to learn how to cook." As if knowing what they were thinking, Mayang explained his point while laughing. Of course to remove tension.
"Can anyone help me learn how to cook?"
* * *
"Whose name?" mayang asked the Chief. Judging from his face, it seemed like they were of the same age.
"Mrs." The answer is fear - fear.
"Well Juan, you can teach me how to cook your favorite meal, right?"
"Can madam," he replied while nodding. But his face looks dreamy and unfocused make Mayang anxious and want to hit his arm.
"Juan!"
"Dude!" Juan stuttered until he let out a voice.
"Juan are you talking?" Mayang asked with a face of trust.
"No mistress," Juan denied quickly but with a visibly agitated face.
"It's good, you want to teach me how to cook, right?"
"You lady,"
"really?" Mayang asked with an uncertain face. When Juan was about to open his mouth, quickly Mayang hit Juan's arm until the man was again surprised and returned to sound.
"No mistress!" Hup, Juan spontaneously shut his mouth. "Sorry madam" Juan realized his mistake.
"Why not?"
"I want a mistress,"
"My answer, why don't you?" Mayang raised his hand to bully Juan.
Juan who was worried about being hit again by Mayang and made him talk who did not - no, finally bowed and opened his voice. "If the mistress herself cooks for the Master, then how about me." Speak with a tone full of worry.
"Are you afraid of getting fired?" Mayang chuckles. " It won't be Juan!"
"Dude!" Again Mayang hit the Chief.
Juan has started to show his ability to cook. And that amazed Mayang. Juan is really very skilled. From the way he sliced onions super fast, and the results of his super delicious cuisine.
"Juan slow down - just slow down!" Mayang protest with a very fast juan movement. "You want to teach me or take the race with me?! You want Master to be angry because my finger is missing because it's following your ways?!"
"No madam, sorry." Feeling guilty.
"Hemm okay, no problem." Mayang was silent for a while then glanced at the serious man. " When I called you, what were you doing?
"Wash the lady's nightgown," her airbrush was brief.
"Then?"
"I'm awake!" Shouted Juan again because Mayang again - again hit him.
"Huhaha are you weird, huh? Where could your nightgown wake up! uhhhaha..." Mayang seemed to laugh in satisfaction regardless of the embarrassed downcast man.
* * *
Dinner was served at the dinner table with many menus and all of them were Brian's favorite.
Mayang welcomed Brian home with joy and happiness.
"Dear to eat yuk, today I cook specifically for you," Take Mayang while berkelsyut spoiled in the arms of her husband. She took her husband to a tang dining room full of dishes.
Brian whose stomach feels full because he has eaten with Billy looks tasteless with so many dishes.
Mayang pulls the chair. "Dear sit..." Mayang smiled as she looked at her husband. But Brian remained in his position and looked in wonder at Mayang.
"Are you sure you're the one who's cooking?"
"Honey, with Juan. I asked him to help me."
Brian breathed. In his face Mayang who looks very excited. It seems that she is so eager to show her love.
From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to hurt his wife. But today he really was very full added again with the mission he was running.
"Dear,,,"
"Yes" Mayang replied with a happy twinkle. His restlessness all day is gone.
"Do you think my stomach is as big as a barrel of water enough to hold all that food?!" Mayang shook his head slowly. "Then why are you cooking this much for me?"
"A' I. I just want to..."
"Juan!" Brian called Juan. Brian knows the chef must be in the kitchen right now. "Juan!!" Call Brian again. This time with a louder voice.
Juan ran to get closer. His face looks panicked. " I'm Master" Juan looked down politely.
"Darling what are you gonna do to her?!" Mayang said half whispered with a face full of worry. He didn't want Brian to fire Juan for this triviality.
"You helped my wife get all this ready?" Brian du asked Juan.
"Right sir," replied Juan fearfully - fearfully.
"Honey," Lirih Mayang shook his head with a pleading face.
Brian held Mayang's shoulder and pressed him to sit on the chair he had prepared earlier. "Sit down!" Force Brian in a loud voice because Mayang looks reluctant.
"Juan you sit down too!" Brian's orders while glancing at the empty chair not far from where Mayang sat.
Although afraid - fear finally Juan also complied. He could not resist when he saw Brian staring at him sharply.
"You who cook eat!" Brian said with a commanding tone. "Take it all." Add it, then pass away leave the dining room.
"Mrs,,,"
