The Life of the Haram
32. Warmth
In a different residence, more precisely in the Arseno residence.
Jojo and Aziel are still in the kitchen, with Jojo still eating Aziel's instant noodles.
"What are you doing?" asked Arseno who had returned from the outside, while carrying some bags of food that he deliberately bought for them.
Arseno stepped closer to the two of them, who were sitting leisurely.
"You're cooking instant noodles?"ask Arseno to Jojo who is finishing his broth in his bowl.
"No" Jojo replied casually.
"My son-in-law cooked it for me" said Jojo, who looked at the flat-faced Aziel.
"Look, 'cause you ate my noodles. I was so hungry" said ketus Aziel.
"No need to discuss it anymore, this is eating papa was out to buy food" said Arseno while arranging food on the table.
"Well, it's just a wedding to eat" said Jojo happily.
Without a doubt Jojo immediately ate voraciously, regardless of the gaze of the two men who were nearby.
"Have you never had good food?" tanya Aziel sneered at Jojo.
"Voracious basis" said Aziel who saw the food in front of him also Jojo eat.
"Eat the Boy" said Arseno.
They ate deliciously and casually except Jojo.
"Geez my stomach feels like it's going to explode" said Jojo as he stroked his stomach.
"He's full, the food here is almost everything you eat" Aziel said.
"And the food is delicious, baby if not as bright as spent" said Jojo who did not want to lose.
Seeing the two people in front of him only fuss about the trivial made Arseno shake his head at the behavior of the two.
"It feels like having two children" Arseno said in a heart that saw the behavior of both.
.............................
It was getting late and showed at 11pm, and Jojo planned to leave the house.
Arseno's house phone rang, and Arseno casually headed for the house phone in the living room. The three of them decided to watch TV first because their eyes were not yet sleepy.
Phone connection is connected.
"What's wrong?" arseno asked because she knew it was the guard's number at the gate of her house.
"Sorry to bother you, this is coming. He said he'd pick up his friend at the master's house!"Obviously the gatekeeper.
"Tell me in, then" Arseno's orders and the phone line are cut off.
"Did you tell your friend to come here?" asked Arseno to Jojo who was watching while eating the snack that Arseno bought earlier.
"Have you come?" jojo asked without answering Arseno's question.
"Yes" said Arseno and went straight to the main door to open the door.
Arriving at the door, Arseno instantly opened the door with a hint of curiosity in her heart.
After the door opens, a handsome man who may be only a few years old is different from Jojo.
"Who's looking?" tanya Arseno flat.
"Jojo" replied the young man who was no less flat looking at Arseno.
"Please enter" asked Arseno who tried to be friendly.
They sat in the living room, and Arseno occasionally glanced at the appearance of this man in front of her who was full of black color attached to her body.
Silent, no one wanted to open his voice, when Arseno wanted to ask what was the relationship between the man in front of her and Jojo?. The question was not so he said, because Jojo had come closer to them.
"It's been a long time?" asked Jojo, who was back in the room, to get his phone.
"No, just now" the man replied gently.
"What happened" asked Bimo one of the core members of the security team in black shadow.
"Regular" Jojo replied with a sweet smile and it made Arseno even more upset to see the interaction of the two.
"Oh yes I forgot!, Bimbim introduce this Arseno and Arseno this is Bimo" said Jojo who introduced his name.
"Bimo" Bimo said briefly as he extended his hand.
" Arseno, just call Seno" said Arseno shaking Bimo's hand.
"We're going straight home?" bimo asked as he led Jojo to sit next to him.
"Did you mind?" jojo asked who knew that Bimo had not been there long while the distance he had traveled far enough.
"No problem" said Bimo.
"You want to go home?" asked Arseno who seemed unwilling Jojo to leave his house with a man.
"Yes, tomorrow I have to work" said Jojo, who remembers that tomorrow is Sunday.
"Why should he pick her up" asked Arseno.
"And I can take you home" Arseno continued.
"I just don't want to bother you" replied Jojo.
"Oh" said Arseno who seemed to not accept Jojo's excuse.
Jojo who examined Jojo's perception began to understand the direction of Arseno's conversation that was not willing if he was invited or with other men.
"Bimo, you wait in the car" Jojo said without looking at Bimo.
After Bimo's departure, Jojo began to ask Arseno.
"What's wrong?" jojo asked gently while tidying up Arseno's hair.
"Are you jealous?" jojo asked who was fishing for Arseno.
"No" Arseno quickly refuted without seeing Jojo's slightly changed face.
Quiet for a few minutes, Jojo just stared warmly at Arseno while Arseno just sat back and closed her eyes.
"Ehem, well then I say goodbye first" said Jojo who felt sad because Arseno said not jealous.
Jojo steps towards the living room where Aziel is still watching TV.
"Aziel" call Jojo.
Feeling his name on the call made Aziel turn his gaze towards Jojo who was already standing near him.
"What?"asked Aziel lazily.
"Your mother candidates say goodbye to go home first" said Jojo while stroking Aziel's hair gently.
Although Aziel enjoyed Jojo's touch, but he did not show it.
"Just go home, what are you waiting for?" said the ketus that came out of Aziel's mouth.
"You don't want to hug your future mother" said Jojo with a sweet smiling face.
"No" replied Aziel.
"Yes, I'm going home first. Don't watch the television too late" said Jojo and immediately left Aziel in the room.
Hearing Jojo step away from him, Aziel looked at Jojo's back with a hard-to-understand look. There was joy, sadness and even fear in him.
Jojo only glanced at Arseno who was sitting leaning back and closed his eyes.
"I'm home!" jojo said without approaching Arseno.
Hearing Jojo's words made Arseno open her eyes quickly.
With a quick step Arseno approached Jojo who was about to leave the living room.
Jojo felt his body almost fall forward due to the embrace he suddenly received from behind.
With a flash, Arseno turned Jojo's body towards her.
"Why?" jojo asked softly, while looking at Arseno's two eyes that looked uneasy.
"You're not leaving me, are you?" asked Arseno while hugging Jojo tightly.
"meaning?"jojo asked confusedly.
"You'd prefer to be?. He is younger and very worthy of you. As for me, we're 10 years old and I'm also a one-child widower" an expression of unease in Arseno's heart.
Hearing Arseno's words, making understand the core of the problem felt by Arseno.
"You want to stay away from me?" jojo asked who took off Arseno's embrace.
Seeing that Arseno was silent, Jojo let out a rough sigh.
"If I don't deserve you!. I will stay away from you Seno" said Jojo in earnest.
With a heavy heart Jojo released his hand which was on Arseno's waist.
"Alright then, I go home first and thank you for today and before" said Jojo and immediately wanted to leave Arseno who was still fixated on the words that came out of Jojo's mouth.
"No-no, that's not what I mean" said Arseno, who held Jojo back.
"Keep what?" jojo asked with a confused look.
"If you're not sure about this relationship, we'd better end it" Jojo said slowly.
"I'm sorry, I won't bother with that anymore" said Arseno, who hugged Jojo.
"I'm sorry, because I've doubted your feelings. Sorry!" said Arseno while kissing Jojo's head several times.
"Arseno Honson Pratama" said Jojo while looking seriously at Arseno's eyes.
"If it was because of my status that I was just an ordinary person and was still a student. Better our relationship, just end it" said Jojo firmly.
"No!, it won't happen" Arseno said with great emphasis while staring intently at Jojo.
"That's not gonna happen!. Remember you are mine, and only mine" said Arseno angrily.
"Then don't doubt my feelings for you" Jojo pleaded with compassion.
"No, it won't happen"
"Dear forgive me, I won't doubt you again" Arseno said guiltily.
"Thank you" said Jojo, hugging Arseno tightly
"One day I will tell you my life Seno" Jojo said in his heart.
................................
Arseno drove Jojo to his house where Bimo was already sitting at the wheel of the car.
"I go home first huh" said Jojo facing towards Arseno.
"Be careful" said Arseno and kissed Jojo's forehead gently.
Jojo got into the car and the car went straight out of the yard of Arseno's house.
Arseno went back inside the house and saw Aziel walking towards her.
"Have he gone home?" ask Aziel.
"Yes just now" replied Arseno.
"Papa first go to the room and you don't watch it too late" said Arseno as she stroked Aziel's head gently.
Seeing the departure of her papa made Aziel stare towards the back of Arseno who started to move away from her sight.
"May you be happy and I will agree to your decision in choosing his life companion" said Aziel who actually overheard a conversation between Arseno and Jojo.
