THE BRONDONG SECRET
35. THE BRONDONG SECRET
HAPPY READING
KENAN POV
Beautiful has been completed
with his proposal presentation. I saw him come out of the room with
cheerful face. Her hair was left unraveled, her face smiling, she said,
his shirt is blue with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, colored entik necklace
black dangled long to her chest, black skirts below the knees, and shoes
blue sneakers. Its casual look today makes it look even more
freshest.
This morning he did not
brought the Omernya because I insisted on delivering it. Oh yes, today we
he hasn't cleared up the misunderstanding yesterday because he was struggling with his preparations
for today. I understood him so much, so it occurred to me to ask him
come out today. We have never dated like any other couple.
Looking at his face today, hopefully his mood is good, so he can
accepted explanation.
Beautiful still talking
with Arif in the hallway to the lecturer room. I'm approaching Beautiful. My mouth is still
locked, confused greet Indah with the right greeting when in
campus. Call a name or mbak? He still did not open himself to
his friends. So I set my feet until I stood before the Beautiful,
with Arif. Seeing my presence, Beautiful returned my gaze. Then
he approached me and whispered.
“What's Ken?”
“Can talk both at
another venue? I want to take you somewhere.” Lovely nods. Seems
the universe is on my side. Look into his eyes there was no frustration or
fury. There was only a happy twinkle I found.
“Sorry yes Rif, I
stay first. There need to be same Kenan.” He said goodbye to Arif. Her hand
pat the man on the shoulder and do not forget to give a sweet smile.
“Yah, because
the coffee spill, so familiar to you. Be careful Kenan, he already has
husband.” Arif warned me. I also just nodded small.
Lovely took my hand and followed my steps. Me too
had glanced at the gaze of Arif who was looking with a twinkle full of questions. No matter what, I am her husband.
“How was it
seminar, success?” I asked when I was sitting on the steering wheel inside
automaker.
“Currently. Three more days
I started research, Ken. For the next two weeks I'm likely to
often in the laboratory. It can even be until night.” He looked at me.
“Tomorrow if you have
getting busy in the lab, I'll take you and pick you up. Don't feel bad
because it's troublesome, beautiful. Want any time, I'm ready to drop off.”
“You are busy too,
Kenan.” His head was tilted facing me who was driving the car.
“Well, start again.
Don't miss it, In. Rest assured, I'm happy to drive you. I could
set my schedule to adjust to you.”
“Iya deh.”
“I don't want you
home alone nights with Omer or even delivered Arif.”
“Hehe. BTW
where are we going anyway?”
“Dating.”
“Eh, what? How?”
“Dating, Beautiful. Since
married we never dated. We are not like a normal couple
other.” A little bit I glanced at him. He smiled thinly.
“Eh, yes anyway. We are not normal.”
“I want to take you
eat, but it's not funny to go to our cafe. There's a Ferry and others in
sana. So we will eat at the rooftop only yes.”
Beautifully frowned
so that the two eyebrows approached each other and his eyes narrowed slightly. “To where
that's Ken?”
“See later,
while enjoying sunset.” I've imagined eating both with the atmosphere
sunset on a Skybar.
This place is in
the seventh floor of the hotel is called Rooftop Skybar. Our clothes are not
like some couple here. Other couples use
clothes deserve a date, while we dress more college kids
who stopped by to eat. But make no mistake, my wife is the most beautiful of all
all the women in this rooftop. Can dong be a little cocky.
In addition to the restaurant, the
it's side by side with the pool. From the seventh floor, you can see
view of the population and mount merapi.
We ordered rice and
the Sky Grill Salmon, Chiken Wings on Fire, Tropical
Fried Calamary, Baked Cheese Cake, and with drinks of course. Beautiful looking
it was great to see the food available in front of him. His eyes radiate
a happy twinkle and her lips curled a beautiful smile. His appetite too
medium good. Seen from the way he was eager to taste all the food,
including the food on my plate.
“Ken, try it. Grills
Salmon is very good, sweet sour taste, very fitting. Yummy sauce, mixed
it's delicious on the tongue. Hem...” His eyes brushed away while enjoying a spoonful
the food he was talking about. I giggle amusedly looking at it. Seeing me not either
trying the food he offered earlier, Indah immediately thrust her spoon
later drool, Ken.”
I opened my mouth too
taking a bribe from my beautiful wife. I feel impatient for
to reveal what has been in my heart all along.
Beautiful hands and mouth
still moving agile tasting Tropical Fried Calamary, which is a squid that is located
on my plate. “Crazy, smelled so crisp Ken. It doesn't use bread flour
youho. There must be a secret trick. Usually squid if fried for too long can
strenuously. Cute, Ken..” His eyes were closed again enjoying the food
it's in his mouth. I can only smile at him looking at it. Really
comically.
“You didn't try that
this, In? But spicy youo.” I pointed towards the plate that contained Chicken Wings
on fire with a level of spiciness of 10.
My tongue was burning when I tasted it. Sweet and spicy.
The garage was directed to
the food I showed you. He immediately tasted a piece of chicken wings.
Curious as to what was about to happen, I stopped the activity
eat me and turn to look straight at him. Sure enough, Lovely paved
his eyes were glazed over, while his mouth was open and his hands were flicked
in front of his mouth. Immediately I poured some drinking water on him.
No need to need
for a long time, we spent less than half the food at our table
the clock.
We enjoyed
the scene when the sky starts to turn orange and the sun starts to set in
western Ufuk. Our position is facing West so that the atmosphere does not escape
from our view.
I'm a little bit of a thump
to start the conversation beautifully. “Hem... In.” My speech.
“Ya?” Her view
turn towards me.
“It's done getting angry
yeah, the one yesterday? Don't shut up again. Sineku is sick, you know.” I patted the chest
left-hand side.
Her lips are pursed, though,
“Once we were flirtatious, early in the morning had a chat with a sexy girl, her brother
Upin IPIN. Continue on campus two by two with Bela. Because I am not beautiful
yeah, less sexy huh? Moreover, my stomach is now terrible because of the scar
burn it.” No more smiling there.
“His brother Ipin Upin
who?” I don't think I have any acquaintance with Ipin and Upin.
“His brother Ipin and Upin
that, his name is Brother Ros, Ken.”
“Oh.” I patted
my forehead with the back of my hand, was just thinking of me.
“Kak Ros it, often
singing in our cafe. We're partners, Beautiful. On weekends, he is always there
the cafe. I'll introduce you later. Don't think about it. If Bela, he's
expressed his feelings yesterday. So I refuse.” I see his lips still
conical. But his head nodded in a sign of understanding with
my explanation.
“Don't be jealous dong
In.”
“You also are
foppery. Especially the same sexy girl like Kak Ros. Same with other girls haha
haha hihi hihi. If I'm serious.” This time Beautiful like a spoiled sulk.
His hands were pulled from the table and placed on his thighs. It must have been
she was twisting the end of her skirt.
“Not so. See
Brother Ros is normal, In. But if you look at you, especially if close, not strong
i'm. It feels like being close to you is different. My heart wants to jump out.” I see Beautiful
scrunched his forehead. Suddenly back to the beautiful plain body
it was on my phone screen the other day. Akh, perverted brain base.
“Times anyway?” The chair
she shifted to near me. He sits beside me. Now he draws his face closer
in front of my face. His eyes blinked looking at both of my eyes. “Then this? Skip
no Kenan?” His hand held my chest to the left. I'm screaming backwards, though,
astounded. You dodol, he's brave
teasing me when I want to talk seriously.
“In, i ... i..”.
My heart's beating more and more.
“What?”
“Inc... I love you.”
“Eh yes, what?” tannya
with a surprised face.
“No re-broadcast
deh.” I sniffed in annoyance. Not knowing what, it's hard to say. When
exclaimed, Beautiful did not even listen to him seriously. I feel so
irritated.
“Eh, what Kenan. I
don't hear.” His ears were directed to the front of my mouth. Ah, how would you
romantic like this?
“It's ah, we're home
aja.” I'm holding back the shame. I was rejected, right? I'll rise soon
stand up. But Lovely's left hand was holding me, so I sat back down.
“Ih, no exclamation. Sunset is not over. I want to be in
here until dark.” I also breathed following his wish.
