Mayang blinked his eyes as he began to wake up. His head was still a little dizzy and his body still felt weak. He pulled his body to lean on the head of the bed.
I don't know how long he slept, until the muscles in his body feel stiff. But he can still remember when Billy woke him up to drink heat-lowering and anti-pain medication because he had a fever.
Mayang took a deep breath and exhaled her slowly as she recalled her husband. Either because the longing is too deep or because of his hatred until the man was carried into his dreams. Even his dream this time felt like it was real.
His hand moved to the lips where he felt Brian really kissing her. She bit her own lips as soon as she realized the reality.
The open door of the room forced Mayang to turn his head towards him. Billy appeared with a tray in his hand. On the tray was a bowl and a glass of white milk.
"Away awake?" Billy who was stepping closer asked with a smile.
Mayang just smiled stiffly while fixing his sitting position. His face was embarrassed, where there were people who were even served by his host. Just bother.
"What's that?" Mayang asked curiously at the bowl that Billy deliberately brought for him.
"My own vegetable pulp."
"Are you serious?!" Mayang was in disbelief.
Billy just smiled while sitting on the edge of the bed facing Mayang. Then thrust the bowl of porridge on Mayang. "Eat so you can get your energy again."
Mayang moved his hand to receive the bowl with both hands. Then put it resting on both thighs that are still covered with blankets, instead of directly eating it.
He fell with a blank look.
"What's wrong?" Billy asked who had observed the expression Mayang had shown curiously. "You don't like porridge?"
Mayang immediately raised his head to look at Billy with guilt. "It's not so." Denying Mayang fast. I just feel bad for you. Sorry to bother you."
"I don't want to hear that word from your lips anymore. You are my friend's wife and boss. So I should've done this to you."
"I don't want to remember it anymore! I hate him." Somehow Mayang felt lazy to hear her husband in tangent - tangent this time. He even pouted and turned his face in protest.
"You don't know how much sacrifice your husband made for your happiness. My advice is never to hate her." Billy spoke calmly but looked seriousness in his eyes.
Billy stood up and stood up. "Eat and finish the porridge so that your pain does not get worse." He ordered first before finally moving away leaving Mayang who looked stunned confused.

Mayang felt his body fitter after a long soak of warm water in the bath tub. He came out of the room when his performance was tidy. His vision circulates looking for - find Billy's whereabouts.
Mayang smiled as he found Billy bent over with his head leaning into the large two-door refrigerator located in the kitchen.
Mayang concluded his smile as he walked settles behind Billy and intends to surprise the man.
"Hi." Sapa Mayang while pressing her index finger on Billy's arm. Although not surprised, Billy who spontaneously raised his head hit the top of the refrigerator so that it caused a sound and pain in his head.
Billy looked grimacing while rubbing the part of his head that felt pain. The panicked Mayang immediately tiptoed as he reached out his hand to wipe Billy's bumped head with many times apologizing with a facial expression full of worry and guilt.
"It's okay, I'm just surprised." Billy assures her that he is okay.
Both laughed awkwardly and misbehaved. Mayang then directed his gaze toward the back of Billy. A large refrigerator that was almost empty without filling.
"What are you doing?" Mayang asked with a face full of curiosity.
"The fridge is empty." Billy said, pointing his thumb behind his back. "I'll be out for a while to shop."
Mayang immediately widened his eyes so enthusiastically. "Do you want to go shopping at the market?"
"Well?!" Billy gaped in surprise but in another second he laughed loudly feeling funny with Mayang's question. "Well, I'm right, I was rough!" He screamed in between - laughter.
"Why laugh so?! What is so funny? Who knows!" Mayang snorted annoyedly with a face that was bent in shame because Billy laughed at him.
"In the market - the market is a lot of providing vegetables, but it must be far - far to the market, Mrs Brian ..." Billy then stopped his laughter when he saw Mayang who looked upset because of his actions.
"You coming?" Bargain Brian while investigating the girl's facial expression. And sure enough, Mayang immediately nodded quickly then hid his shy smiling face.
"OK on cuss!" Billy allows Mayang to walk first.
* * *
Both are in a nearby supermarket. Billy pushes the shopping trolley while Mayang walks by his side.
"What do you want to buy?" Mayang asked while circulating his gaze to the various vegetables that looked fresh.
"What do you want to eat?" Billy asked back.
"I'm an all-eater, so don't ask my opinion if you don't want me to take it all."
"Not eat the liver." Cockap Billy then while glancing at Mayang.
"Hey, I've been content eating hearts all this time because of your young master!" Mayang glanced resentfully at Billy for having lured him.
"That's because you don't know how good he is." Billy spoke indifferently and confidently.
"Hey well where's he from? He believes in other women more than his own wife!"
Billy just poked his lips while walking pushing the trolley casually.
"It would be wrong if I told you this. You are his secretary. You will definitely defend him dead - dead in any case not!" Mayang said while clucking annoyed. In his eyes Billy's back was running further and further away from him.
* * *
Mayang save their groceries after returning from shopping. Put some vegetables in the refrigerator and store other dry ingredients in the pantry.
"What do you want to eat? Let me cook it." Billy said while wearing an apron on his body.
"Don't bother, I can cook myself the food I want to eat later." Mayang replied while continuing his activities without looking at Billy.
Regardless of Mayang's words, Billy continues to do what he wants to do. He grabbed the knife from its place and started peeling the onions. After washing it, Billy then sliced the onion on a wide cutting board.
The sound that was made from the knock of a knife on the cutting board forced Mayang to turn towards him. And immediately he laughed when he saw Billy with an apron on his body that he thought was funny.
"What are you laughing at, right?!" Billy asked the astonished Mayang Yang immediately rolled back as soon as the girl turned to him.
Put the knife in his hand on the cutting board and turn his body to Mayang while clucking in wonder. "What's so funny?!" Lifting his chin yet with a flat facial expression.
"You are what else."
Billy looked at himself. "Huh, it's normal." He said indifferently then refocused on the blade that had moved into his hand. "Have you never seen a man wearing an apron?"
"Either." Mayang answered quickly. He moved closer to Billy. "The chef at my husband's and in-laws' house is mostly male. But seeing that apron stick to your muscular body is funny." The corpse pursed its lips tightly so that its laughter did not explode again.
"So your husband has never shown his ability to cook?" Billy asked while his hands were busy peeling the shrimp skin.
Mayang widened his eyes to hear Billy's words that he had just heard. His mouth was open as if in disbelief. "Can he cook too?"
"Are you guys in cooking school?"
"Of course not."
"But where can you cook?"
"From a hungry stomach." Billy replied casually while turning on the stove on which he had prepared a container of water to boil pasta. "While studying abroad we deliberately did not hire a domestic assistant. So all our homework is done together."
Billy moved his neck to look at Mayang who was now arriving - suddenly silent. His cheerful face is now changing. Billy sighed softly regretting the word he had said. He accidentally talked about his boss which seemed to make Mayang again remembered his sadness.
"Darling," called Billy quietly as he lowered his head probing the girl.
"Yes?" Mayang looked up slowly.
"You sit down and wait for me there yeah," Billy glanced at the chair in the pantry. "Sounds you exhausted? Is your head still dizzy?"
"No. You don't need my help?"
"No, sit and wait for me there."
Mayang slowly dragged his feet towards the chair. Billy watched her until the girl sat there and used her hands to support her chin. I don't know what he was thinking until his face looked so sad.
Mayang was surprised when the sound of the plate clashing with the marble table rang out loud in his ear. Billy like him was deliberately put it with a little pressure so that Mayang realized from his daydream.
"Eat." Billy smiled as he pointed at the spaghetti that was held in front of Mayang with his gaze.
Mayang lowered his head staring at the food that looks very interesting with a few large shrimp on it.
"That sounds good." Mayang rolled his eyes with the corners of his lips are interested so that the more visible is the dimple of his cheek. He moved his hand to pull the plate closer to him. "No chili?" He then looked up at Billy sitting opposite him.
"Pig used to ask sambal."
Mayang also put the paste into his mouth and tasted the taste. A few seconds later the corner of his lips was again attracted and a smile appeared there.
"It's spicy it turns out." She was ashamed - ashamed. "But why aren't there any peppers?"
"I'm wearing chili powder."
"Oh so."
Then the state of silence because both choose to focus on food on their respective plates to the toilet.
"Thank you Billy, your cooking is great." Praise Mayang after sipping his drink. And only in reply by a smile from the man.
Mayang then rose from his seat. Stepping by carrying with them the dirty dishes to the dishwasher sink.
"Hey where are you going?!"
"Wash my plate. I don't want to be the one who doesn't know himself when hitchhiking at people's houses." Say Mayang while rubbing the sponge on the dirty plate.
Billy stepped closer intending to wash his hands. He took the soap and rubbed his entire palm.
"BTW your apartment is comfortable, yes" Mayang glanced at Billy who was standing next to him. "Can't I stay here forever?"
"meaning?" Billy frowned.
"Do you want to marry me?"
Billy unconsciously widened his eyes. I don't know what expression he's showing at the moment. What is clear is that his mind jumped on the events they went through last night.
Does he feel everything? So Mayang really realized when he kissed me?
Mayang really caught the face of Billy who looked panicked surprised. His white face seemed red and his eyes seemed wide open looking at him stiffly.
Mayang chuckled while hitting Billy's arm to resuscitate the man. "I was just kidding Billy! Don't look at me like that!" Mayang said in between his laughter which made Billy seem to breathe a sigh of relief. " What kind of woman do you think I am! How could I turn my heart that easily."
Billy chose silence while washing his hands full of foam. He tried to cover his heart that was suddenly pounding with a flat expression on his face.
"Billy, do you have a boyfriend?" Mayang asked again while looking at Billy with a face full of curiosity.
"No."
"Lied!"
"Don't believe it already." Billy said casually as he passed away.
Mayang who was done with his activities immediately stepped following the man.
"Can't a man as perfect as you not have a lover?" Mayang asked in disbelief. He then sat on the sofa next to Billy who looked cool changing TV channels.
"Do you think having a perfect man is enough? If there's never time to date how?"
"Did your boyfriend leave because of your busy life?"
Billy seemed to ignore the question Mayang asked. His gaze was instead fixed on the glass screen that was presenting the cartoon film while smiling. Make Mayang cluck at him.
Ish instead of answering was cool watching the cartoon! I don't know if anyone else is curious.
"Channel now! I'm gonna go see the infotainment show." Pinta Mayang with an annoyed face.
"Don't! I want to watch this."
"Ish, change it! Get your girlfriend on the run! You are the cuek! There are grown men who still love watching cartoons!"
"Let's just say it." Said Billy indifferently while glancing at Mayang and then hide the TV remote behind his body.
"Let's not remove it now!"
" No!"
Mayang snorted in annoyance while standing up. His eyes had already shone with a threatening look scanning for the existence of the remote.
Without a cue - his body also moved bent while slipping his hand behind Billy's body to reach the remote hidden there. Even the surprised Billy did not know how to react.
Unknowingly, Mayang's view captured a tall body that had been standing not far from its current place. Mayang's body felt frozen instantly with the position of himself who was above Billy with the position of the hand that was like embracing.
Billy who had just realized was immediately escaped from Mayang confinement. The girl sat on the sofa with a shy face.
"Young master, since when are you here?" Billy seemed to be mistaken when he said hello.
But Brian did not answer or respond to Billy's question. Her gaze was fixed on Mayang who was still sitting resigned with facial expressions that seemed ready to accept whatever her husband would do to her.
Mayang could do nothing but surrender as Brian stepped closer to him. Explaining it was useless because Brian had seen how he positioned himself when the man caught him wet.
