The Love of Ordinary Men

The Love of Ordinary Men
Turns out feverish



It feels so cold tonight. Ralin's lips looked pale with his body shivering. Andini had tried to persuade her to see a doctor, but the stubborn woman continued to refuse.


"It's a little bit too light" always just like that, making Andini want to strangle him right now.


Andini circulated her gaze to the left side car window. A simple restaurant on the side of the road. In view of the menu on display, there is ginger on the list of banners.


"We're down, buy ginger. Who knows how to warm your body. Don't bother. I don't want complicated ngurusin lo who is sick gini" this time Andini in indisputable fashion.


Ralin snorted annoyedly hearing that. But ginger can also, for a long time the woman did not feel it. Last time, at her grandmother's house, it was also because Ralin was sick at the time.


Actually, even though he was born from among the people, Ralin never bothered about food or drinks at low prices.


To be honest, Ralin never disputed the differences in social status. It's just that, sometimes Ralin said it because he wanted to save his prestige and pride that was offended. Blame that woman's mouth that can't filter her words.


Sitting on a wooden bench with a middle-aged man busy with his chess piece leaves Ralin on the verge of awkwardness. Himself snorted lazily. Why don't you go inside with Andini just now. Now Ralin just glanced uninterestedly at the chess piece beside him. Realizing his cell phone he lives in the car.


The night wind made Ralin feel nauseous in his stomach. Looks like Ralin's a merry. His body was hot and his body was limp. Unknowingly Ralin spewed out his entire stomach there.


Hoekk


The middle-aged man saw it. The frail body fell with a hand that tried to massage his neck. Ralinka was surprised. Even so he did not fight back, seeing the good intentions of men his age.


Ralin ran towards the sewer and pulled out the remaining vomit there. After feeling enough, Maman memapah women into his restaurant. That woman needs rest.


"Loh, Lin, what's wrong?" Andini was worried about making it, Ralin's face looked paler than before.


Maman helped to seat the young woman in a long chair in the corner of the room. At first Ralin refused but Andini's deathly gaze, making him silent.


His head was dizzy plus his teeth were rubbing, Ralinka complained when his body felt sore. Samar faintly himself heard a familiar voice in his ears.


"Assalamualaikum, Mr. Maman. I want to pick up.." he stopped when he saw the bad atmosphere ahead. Raksa chose to stay quiet and back to meet his mother in the kitchen, but Maman held her back.


"Awhile, Sa. Please call your mother, tell her to come here!. This kid needs his help" Maman said.


Raksa nodded. Before leaving, Raksa had a glance at Ralinka awkwardly.


He was the one at that time, his mind recognized.


Dayu who just finished her job, hunted out because Raksa said, her employer called. Let go of his old dirty aprons all day, all packing up to go home.


"Please help deflect this kid, Yu. Looks like he got in the wind" Maman shot when he saw Dayu's whereabouts from there.


Laying his palm on Ralinka's forehead, check the woman's body temperature. Dayu sat down and helped Ralinka drink the warm ginger that had been ordered and deftly massage the head and shoulders of the young woman painstakingly.


"Sa, please buy wind oil in the front row" he told Raksa, which was directly done by his son.


"Yes, Mom. Raksa buy it for a second"


From there Ralin looks silent a thousand languages. Just this morning he thought about the man, now he even met with Raksa and his mother in a situation that is less unpleasant.


No need to wait long, when the wind oil was in Dayu's hands, his hands deftly rubbed Ralinka's neck slowly, afraid that the child was hurt.


"The mother please help me apply the oil on her friend's feet, so as not to get cold" Andini who understands, immediately did what Dayu told her to do.


"You don't shut up, Sa!. Help warm his palms!" The Raksa is awakened from his daydream. The palm of Ralinka's hand was rubbed with wind oil. Hoping this would warm her shivering body a little.


Unknowingly their views meet. The Russians cut off their eye contact. Actually Raksa was a little awkwardly stared so intensely by a woman. But how else, his intention was only to help. So it must be sincere.


"Where are these two of you going? " ask Dayu to Ralinka and Andini. Mama Raksa is very friendly and kind. Ralin smiled in response.


"Previously introduce, Mom. I'm Ralin, and this is my friend, Andini. We just got home from work" he said.


"so yeah. Mother's name, Dayu. Raksa's mother" said the mother was as friendly as possible.


Dayu pinched the head of Ralin slowly. Makes the woman comfortable with her touch. Ralin was full of seeing it. Never had the woman felt the sense of being noticed this sincerely. Unknowingly a drop of clear water fell down his cheeks. Hunt, Ralin removes it, afraid someone will see. Luckily the middle-aged man had been out of the room since Dayu helped to poke his throat.


"Sa, can you go out first? I want to digress his back mbak Ralin, mending you accompany Mr. Maman play chess!" The raksa complied. Before long, the man disappeared from behind the door of the frame.


Unknowingly, Ralin smiled looking at her. The man was very obedient to his mother. For some reason, Ralin collapsed. His mother is loved, especially his wife?.


Finished with the pain he had to suffer just now, Ralin immediately put on his clothes back. Dayu shook his head not surprisingly, the article of the clothes worn by Ralin so open with pieces resembling a tanktop, so it was appropriate that the woman caught a cold, considering the night wind was quite cold.


The rest of the warm ginger was until it ran out. His body feels better than ever. Seeing the situation of Ralin who had improved, Dayu said back home.


"Then you're saying yes, what are you two here for?"ask Dayu.


"We got in the car, ma'am" replied Ralin as warmly as possible.


"Then, I'll help you out. Your body's still limp. Oh yeah, wait a minute!, mom pack another ginger to drink at home?"


Ralin nodded, his eyes twinkling. Really, Ralin felt so taken care of. If only, Madam Dayu was her mother. That woman will be very happy. Andini was full of sight, only this time she saw that expression after the last five years. That happy heart was so soothing to his heart. Andini is happy to see her best friend happy.


After wrapping a glass of warm ginger to Ralinka, Dayu holds Ralin out aided by Andini. The woman's body is still a little hot, but it's more light than before.


Maman and Raksa who were engrossed in the black and white game turned their heads for a moment. His eyes glanced at Ralin who looked slightly pale. The woman was sick but still looked so beautiful.


"Sa, help Ralin get to his car, pity if you have to walk. The car is quite far across. The body is still limp, mbak Andini also seems to have been exhausted"


Raksa, who was asked to help his mother, immediately stood up to take over Ralin's body. "Sorry, ma'am, I just want to help" he said politely embrace the body of Ralin.


Previously, Raksa was a little sorry to see the clothes of Ralin that were so thin and open. The woman would definitely return cold if left alone. Not wanting to think for long, Raksa finally took off his denim jacket. He put it on Ralin's body.


At first Ralin wanted to refuse, but Raksa's words made him uneasy. "The package was washed, don't worry". Finally, Ralin accepted it awkwardly.


Raksa carried him on his back. All right, go home to Maman. So did Dayu, Ralin and Andini.


The road is quite slippery after a few hours of rain, making Raksa a little behind with Ralin carried. The man was careful to watch the road.


Ralin's voice made him turn his head slightly to the side to listen to her. "Lo, I know you. Don't be too awkward. Call me a name!" ralin said a little hoarsely.


Raksa nodded. "Yes, Ra... "


Ralin scrunched his forehead strangely. No one has called him that. "Ra" is simple yet strangely profoundly influences Ralin's thinking.


I don't know why Raksa's back and shoulders feel so comfortable hugging. Unknowingly, Ralin slid his face into the recess of Raksa's neck, making the man stop his steps a little distracted.


"Lo, mind if I hug?" ralin realized his lack. That was not what Raksa was thinking right now, but rather the forehead of Ralin that felt so hot on his neck. The woman has a fever.


"You're so hot, I'll take you to the doctor? afraid later why napa on the road" Ralin felt a worried tone tucked there.


"No need to be alone, how will your mother?" Mercury silence. True also his mother later what if he drove Ralin?.


"Look, I feel a little better" Ralinka slid her face back into the recess of Raksa's neck. Inhaling the man's masculine scent. Ralin likes the smell. The smell is fresh and soothing. Ralin knew the man was a little uncomfortable, but Ralin did not care. The comfort is more important.


Arriving beside the car, Raksa lowered the woman. Then Ralin and Andini say goodbye by thanking Dayu, Raksa's mother.


Andini chooses to enter first, leaving Ralin there. Dayu chose to wait for Raksa motorized not far from the car park. Stay Ralin and Raksa who are currently mired awkwardly.


"Gue turning back" her farewell was short. Raksa nodded. There's no thanks there, but Raksa doesn't mind. His intentions were sincerely helpful, without expecting anything.


Ralin cursed himself when his thanks were stuck in his throat. Why does it feel so hard to tell Raksa, even though to her mother, Ralin could have been.


The atmosphere in the car was quiet, Andini was busy with her phone. Cancel Ralin's schedule in the next few days, given Ralin's current condition. He did not want his best friend why napa.


While Ralin himself was busy closing his eyes feeling the scent of Raksa left on his jacket. Andini thought the woman was sleeping, apparently not.


The woman looked at him calmly, with a sentence that made her in disbelief.


"Gue wants to check, Ndin. Please find the nearest hospital or clinic"


His forehead frowned confused, which was true. Why did that stubborn woman change her mind. Because, from the first time Ralin never wanted to deal with doctors or hospitals.


Wait, since when did Ralin ask for help? usually the woman could only rule and get angry.


Not usually, the inner Andini feels strange.
