Not long after, Kirana's phone suddenly rang. He immediately pulled his phone out of the bag. It was Hendrik's call.
Kirana just watched the screen without wanting to accept it. To make Richard look curious.
"Not picked up, Ran?"
"Let's be at the apartment" replied Kirana indifferently.
Now he does not want Richard to interfere too much in his problems after he knows that Richard harbors feelings for him.
"Oh! Must be Hendrik's call, right? Why not lift it? Don't you want me to hear your talk again?
Ck! Lucky to be Hendrik. It hurts you, but you can still apologize!" Richard spoke cynically.
"Not that, Brother. I'm really males talking now. And please don't worry too much about my life either. You don't want me to set it up yourself?" Denied Kirana was upset.
"Conscious dong, Ran. Hendrik is not in love with you! Why would you want to maintain a relationship with someone like that?"
"Sister, I'd better get down here. I don't want to keep arguing with you. Enough of that, I'm clear that my reasons are the same as yours. Please stop, I'll take a taxi online."
"Okeh, I'm sorry. I promise I won't talk about this anymore" Richard finally chose silence again. Although his feelings were very disappointed in Kirana.
Arriving at the apartment, they immediately entered into their respective apartment rooms. Not a single word was spoken between the two of them.
Just now Kirana put her phone on the nightstand, it turns out there is one incoming message notification from Hendrik.
[Ran, have you arrived yet? How did I call you not in the lift? Did Richard forbid you?]
Kirana just read the message. Then put the phone back. For him, Hendrik's message at this time is not very important. And the question he asked also seemed to have no need for Kirana to answer.
Until the night Kirana's phone kept ringing. Until he was distracted doing his job.
"Hello, what's wrong with you, Mas? Is there anything you want to talk about?" ask Kirana ketus.
"I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I just want to take you to dinner. But at the roadside tent stall. Wouldn't you?"
"Sorry, Mas. Not that I don't want to, but I'm running out. This part is also malem. I want to take a break right away after I finish this job," he refused subtly.
He is actually hungry too. But he did not want to melt so well with Hendrik's invitation.
"Oh, that. Yes, that's it. Have a good rest, Ran." Then the call ended.
An hour later, the room bell rang.
Kirana frowned. "Who are the nights coming here? Richard's age, anyway? But he's angry with me."
With a lazy step he got off his bed and walked to open the door.
"Mas Hendrik?" his strangulation was so surprised.
"Hi, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Here I bring your favorite pasture-sauce crab," Hendrik handed me a bag of white crackles. "But I'm sorry, I bought it at a roadside stall. I don't know if it feels good or not" he continued.
"Huh? Why do you bother with everything? But thank you," Kirana said with a forced smile.
"You didn't tell me to come in first? Let me re-cook the crab. Who knows if there's anything less than it feels."
But unfortunately Kirana's rejection was ignored by Hendrik. He swiftly walked into the kitchen, and corrected the taste of the dishes he had bought. Turns out right, it feels a little bland.
"You wait at the dinner table. I want to cook for a while" he said as he led Kirana to sit down.
Fifteen minutes later, she returned with a tray of one sausage crab dish, one rice dish, and one glass of pregnant milk.
"Please eat it, dear."
Kirana scratched her unscratchy head. "If you had always been this way back then, Mom. Surely our household will be fine" Kirana murmured.
"Hey, I'm daydreaming. Come dong eaten. I helped peel off the crab shells, yes" Again, Hendrik did the thing Kirana needed.
"Open his mouth" Hendrik fed the rice to Kirana's mouth.
"I can do it myself, Mas," Kirana refused, but Hendrik this time did not want to rewind his hand before Kirana ate the rice in his hand.
Hendrik continued to do that until the rice on the plate was gone. "Now you drink yes, milk. It's still warm,"
After it was all over, he immediately brought all the food scraps into the kitchen again. Hendrik did not allow Kirana to move.
A few minutes later, Hendrik again approached Kirana who was sitting on the sofa while observing the screen of his laptop.
"Ran, can I talk to you again? That's also if you're not busy" he said.
Kirana immediately closed the screen of her laptop. He didn't want Hendrik to find out about the flower shop.
"What are you talking about, Mom?" kirana asked while looking towards the wall clock.
"It's not long, Ran," said Hendrik who knew that Kirana began to feel uncomfortable.
Kirana nodded in agreement. Then, Hendrik sat on the floor near Kirana's feet.
"Don't sit down, Mas. I'm not comfortable looking at it" Kirana chirped.
"Not what, Ran. I'm more comfortable sitting on the floor."
Kirana sighed. "It's up to you if so. What do you want to talk about, Mom?"
Hendrik grabbed Kirana's hand. "Go back with me, Ran. I just realized I love you. When you are away from me, I become less enthusiastic in living life.
But since I met you this morning again, I'm excited again. So please live with me again" she asked with a sobbing.
"Why do you really want me to come back with you again anyway, Mas? Is it because you saw me living in a luxury apartment, and then you thought that I was successful?
You misunderstand me, Mom. This apartment belongs to Richard. I'm just here on a free ride."
"No, Ran. You misunderstood. This time I was honest with you. I have already fallen in love with you.
So please stay with me even if only in a small contract. Moreover, you also said that this apartment belongs to Richard. Return all Richard's.
I promise to work even harder, so I can build another business and buy you a much more comfortable home than this. You want Ran to come with me?" Hendrik begged while putting his head on Kirana's lap.
