The River House

XXXIG. Beauty Medusa

The sunlight began to sting. The shade of trees in fact can not stem the warmth of the center of the solar system. Green leaves can only resigned to enjoy the ultraviolet spray needed to photosynthesize.

Puddles of water, in some soil basins due to drizzle last night began to dry up. Some monitor lizards appear to be basking on the river rocks. Reptiles really make use of sunlight that is very rarely penetrated the forest gap.

Erwin too. He may be imitating the behavior of the monitor lizard. Sits selonjoran on the river rocks. The sun hit his hair until it looked sparkling. Erwin closed his eyes, feeling his painful cheeks and throbbing from a loud slap from Ferry Lawanto, a person he greatly respected.

Without Erwin noticing, there was someone walking to settle the precipitate behind him. His small soles were barely audible as he jumped over the river rocks.

"Hiyaaaaa," Inge grabbed Erwin from behind. His arrival made Erwin's body jump because of shock.

"Duh, you can't really ngaggetin," protested Erwin, but his lips seemed to smile.

Inge looked at the face of the man in his arms. A handsome face with white and delicate skin, yet it should be stained by a purplish tinge at the corner of his lips. There were traces of blood that had dried up, as well as swelling that was quite noticeable in Inge's eyes.

"You why? Who's the bad guy for you?" Inge asked. There was also a lingering worry of anger in his heart.

"I'm not pa pa kok," answered Erwin briefly. He took his eyes off Inge.

"Look at me Win. Tell me what the hell is going on!" Inge grabbed the chin of his new lover, looking at him deeply.

Erwin remained silent. He just sighed. He wanted to tell a story, but there was still doubt in his heart. Doesn't telling about Ferry's abusive treatment amount to opening up the disgrace of the family he respects? Moreover, telling a person he had just known yesterday afternoon.

"Hey, what do you think of me as Win? If you want our relationship to run smoothly and last a long time, we should share every thing, be it happy or difficult," Inge looks upset.

"Okay, I'll tell you. I'm just confused, because everything that happened can be said to be a disgrace from my family," Erwin said relented. He was silent for a moment and took a long breath.

"I was just slapped by Mas Ferry," Erwin continued as he looked up at the sky.

"Huh? Why?" Inge was shocked, he was really shocked.

"I'm Mas Ferry's nephew, adopted by Ibuk . .. emm, Bu Rofida I mean. My school, my college, my living expenses are what Mas Ferry does. I have great respect for Mas Ferry. I would love to be able to return the favor. Maybe my way is wrong. Without being asked by Mas Ferry I tried to supervise and guard Mbak Anggun, because as far as I know Mbak Anggun is a woman who is really loved by Mas Ferry. All my life I've never seen Mas Ferry have a lover, only Anggun Ma'am is the only woman present and finally settled in this family," Erwin again let out a long sigh.

"So, you got slapped for spying on Anggun?" Ask Inge again.

"Well, you could say so. But to be honest, there was something stuck in my heart" Erwin propped up his chin.

"What's that?" Inge looked at Erwin's pointed nose, looking adorable.

"So I had an argument with Mbak Anggun. At first glance he said his life with Mas Ferry was less happy. You whose friend Mbak Anggun must know, maybe he ever told you something?" Erwin asked back.

"Yetah Anggun is a very loyal type of person. She is the campus princess, the prettiest, graceful woman as her name implies. Unfortunately he was sick, physically weak. Maybe that's where God gave His creation justice. Because nothing is perfect in this world," Inge said, he imitated Erwin's way of sitting while propping up his chin.

"Many men who crave it, but when he has chosen Ferry he is really responsible for his choice. Unfortunately after that Anggun became sullen, and his health also deteriorated. She never wanted to tell me what really happened to her marriage. The last time he mentioned Ferry was a few days after graduating his S2 program. Anggun said after finishing college, she wanted to immediately have a baby but her husband rarely went home. Just that once Anggun complained to me," Inge recalled. Erwin silently watched.

"Yes it is ribet. Putting two heads together in one goal is hard. Moreover, humans have an ego. If no one relents and just obeys each other's ego can not be a harmonious family" continued Inge.

"The household can only be learned when it has undergone," continued Inge with a serious face. Erwin mangosteen mangosteen agrees.

Erwin, who had been in conversation, suddenly recalled the condition of Ali Sabet, who had become a corpse. The look on Erwin's face instantly turned pale.

"Nge, there's one more thing you need to know" Erwin said later.

"What else is it?" Ask Inge quickly.

"But promise not to panic. Whatever you hear from me, you need to stay calm. Understood?" ask Erwin to make sure. Inge nodded convincingly.

"Ali was found dead hanging in my room" whispered Erwin.

"Huh? How's it possible?" Inge jumped in shock.

"Last morning when the men moved Erfan's body, I intended to take the collection book in the room. And I accidentally found Ali's body hanging with a broken neck" Erwin explained.

"Why is this all getting worse?" muttered Inge with a worried expression.

"Then, did you find Andevi?" ask Inge riled. He began to worry about the salvation of the goddess.

"No. Only Ali was there. All this horror makes me feel crazy. I got confused, no longer knowing who to trust," Erwin randomized his own hair a little rough.

"You can trust me Win. I will always be there for you. I will never leave or betray you" Inge looked at Erwin deeply.

The round eyeballs were so clear that Erwin felt as if he was bewitched. Erwin could not turn away, every inch of Inge's face did not escape his observation. There were a few small moles on Inge's cheeks, making him look even sweeter. Inge was indeed no prettier than Anggun, but she had a different charm. Inge's face was like a palanquin. The more he looked, the more Erwin could not turn away.

Inge smiled at a glance, then hugged Erwin. Deck that is able to shed all the rest of the mind and thoughts for the one who had been spinning swirling in Erwin's head.

"Thank you" said Erwin Iirih, still in Inge's arms. The intoxicating fragrance was sniffed by Erwin's sense of smell. Like a pheromone, which makes his heart beat and race faster.

"For what?" Ask Inge.

"You were there at the right time. You were there when I needed someone to listen to me," Erwin let go of Inge's embrace.

The two people sitting on the river stone were still looking at each other in silence. Erwin brought his face closer. Inge did the same, with a slight look, Inge closed his eyes. In the end, under the hot sun the two people who were being drunk on romance were frowning each other.
