The Love of Ordinary Men

Simple conversation

Tonight the atmosphere of Andre's coffee shop is so crowded, that it makes him have to be late with a simple dinner with his mother. Raksa slightly suppressed his ego, this was already his responsibility. What starts must be finished. Quickly he finished his work. His hand moved deftly making his final milk coffee order.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Raksa had just returned from his job. Andre told him to bring a pizza box that a few minutes ago ordered through the app. Calculate the overtime bonus said Andre chimed.

No wait long Raksa brought his motorcycle to his mother's workplace, surely he had waited a long time. Raksa was shrouded in guilt, but he had promised not to be late home. His mother must be disappointed.

Raksa scrunched his forehead confused, when a few seconds ago he arrived, and found Mr. Maman who had closed his restaurant.

"Your mother's been home since, Sa. He was ushered by a woman who was sick yesterday" he explained, Raksa understood who the woman was meant by Mr. Maman.

"Vforce a lot of work, sir. It's too late to pick up mom. Well then, Raksa said goodbye, sir. Thank you for telling me" she kissed Mr. Maman's hand.

In his mind, Raksa had thought, how could his mother be with Ralin? I don't think they were that close yesterday. Maybe she was being nice because her mother helped her yesterday.

Consider it a return of gratitude, thought Raksa answered his own question.

The road from his mother's workplace to the house, not far away, so that not until 15 minutes, Raksa had arrived there, with his left hand carrying a pack of pizza boxes and his right hand knocking on the door, salamatized. His eyes slightly looked towards the side, seeing a luxurious black car parked there. Is that woman still here?.

From inside Raksa heard a reply from his greeting earlier. There looks Dayu who is arranging dishes for dinner with the woman beside him. His mother was waiting for him. Raksa felt more guilty when Dayu told him to sit down to eat.

"Mortgage take a shower, Buk. Let's hurry"

"Don't be long, Ralin's mother and mother are waiting for you" said Dayu stroking Raksa's arm. Then the man nodded obediently.

A few minutes while waiting for Raksa to shower, Dayu and Ralinka chat with each other on all topics that are out of nowhere always connected. They are like mother and son. Realizing that it was inexhaustible, Ralin smiled so sincerely in response to Dayu's words that looked humorous.

It feels like a house this small with parents like Raksa's mother, will feel very pleasant for Ralin. He realized that happiness is not only about the material, but genuine affection and attention will be much more pleasant than anything else. And his heart slipped considering what he wanted was what he never got.

Raksa joined the two women in front of her and her side. Bring the pizza box that Andre gave me. Ralin can smell the masculine aroma mixed with the former soap of the man's bath. It feels fresh and soothing. Ralin's mind was calm with only Raksa nearby.

"Sorry, Mom. Raksa breaks his promise. A lot of work that Raksa has to finish, until it's too late to pick up mom" he said regretting. Dayu.

"Other times if not sure, do not easily give an appointment, Sa" Dayu warned. Raksa nodded with his head lowered feeling guilty.

"Already, let's eat, cold hunt"

This dinner does look simple, but from Ralin's point of view, it's like seeing a small family with a lot of happiness here.

During the meal, none of them spoke because basically, the adab was not eating well while talking. However, after that, the voice of Dayu interrupted.

"Let's finish the kitchen, all do the dishes. You guys just keep chatting"

"Let's let Raksa do the laundry, ma'am. After this, I rest. Raksa did not want mom exhausted" Dayu smiled by giving her right thumb, making Raksa and Ralin chuckle simultaneously.

After leaving Dayu to the kitchen, Ralin was still staring at Raksa who downed a glass of water. He saw the jakun going up and down. For some reason, whatever about Raksa, Ralin enjoyed it so much.

"So mom can be like you?" tanya Raksa was calm.

"So I stopped by Mr. Maman's diner, kept on accidentally seeing mom waiting there. He said he wanted to go home, but you didn't come for long. I finally drove my mom home"

Raksa was shocked to hear Ralin's calm tone, especially his much sweeter attitude. No more lo-gue logic, but it turns into me-you. Even so Raksa did not bother about it.

Ralin who was aware of Raksa's shock with his drastically changed tone, finally chose to voice his thoughts.

"You mind?" not for her explanation of her driving Raksa's mother, but for the accent she changed to me-you.

Raksa shook his head, "No, Ra".

Makes Ralin giggle amused to hear it, but nothing funny. I don't know. There was only reason for Ralin to smile near this man.

"What did you do to get home this late?"tanya Ralin observed Raksa's thick eyebrows. Every inch on Raksa's face could not be separated from the woman's vision.

"Camera assistants in the Fireflies, all looking for additional work at the coffee shop have my friend, continued Saturday week work distudio photo of my coworkers" explained Raksa made Ralin link his eyebrows concerned, Raksa explained, because Raksa is so hard at work.

Ralin knew the reason Raksa chose this, all because of the man's responsibility to compensate for the loss of the camera at that time. Ralin chose to ask about where Raksa worked.

"Where's the coffee shop?"

"In front of Indomaret point, not far from here, why?" ask Raksa.

"Tomorrow I stopped by, finished the photo shoot" she smiled, finding Raksa nodding her assent. Ralin was happy with Raksa's calm nature, never before had Ralin met a man like Raksa. A sincere hearted man with a million charms in his simplicity. Even so, Ralin admitted that Raksa was quite handsome, even though his body was a little thin.

"You're a model?"ask Raksa

Ralin nodded not so responding to Raksa's question, somehow Ralin just wanted to know about Raksa, not explain who he was.

"Unfortunately, your clothes are always open like this" he said in no way to offend the woman in front of him.

"Do you not like it?"

"Not so, just a little uncomfortable just look at it, sorry if you are offended. I don't mean to comment on your clothes. You are free to dress like what, because it's your right" said Raksa regretted his words a few seconds ago.

Ralin chuckled himself not to bother about it. Ralin knew Raksa meant nothing like that. Regardless of what prompted him, Ralin felt confident in every word he said from the man's mouth.

"Yes, Raksa, no problem"

The monster nodded like a puppy. It was so cute to look at her face when she felt guilty, and Ralin liked her so much.
