The Will of Love

ch 9's. A Fun Trip

Aris glanced at the watch on her wrist.

"It was so long for him." Mumbled.

Then, he stood up from his chair and intended to follow Meli to the room. But, just as Aris was about to leave, he saw Meli walking towards him.

Meli looks beautiful in the dress she wears. The dress is collared like a shirt, made of silk, white. Complete with a black belt perched on the slender waist of Meli.

Meli walked slowly with black shoes as high as three inches. Her hair was left beautifully severed. Making the appearance of Meli like an angel in the eyes of Aris.

Aris was still stunned, as Meli stood in front of him.

"I'm ready, sir." Meli said with a face that looks a little uncomfortable, because she is not used to wearing expensive clothes. Moreover, the shirt belongs to the late Retno.

"Oh, i-yes.."

Aris lowered her gaze and walked ahead of Meli. The two of them also, walking towards the car that will be driven by Aris to Meli hometown.

Kang Jaja put all the bags that will be brought into the trunk. Aris got into her car, while Meli opened the passenger door and sat sweetly in the back.

"Am I your driver?"

Aris stared at Meli through the rearview mirror in the middle of her car.

"So much as I sit where sir?" Meli asked with an innocent expression on her face.

Aris took a deep breath when she heard the question from Meli.

"Front of me." Her speech.

Meli and Aris look at each other from the mirror reflection of the car's rearview mirror. Then, hesitantly, Meli got down from the car and opened the front door to the left of Aris's car.

Meli looked at Bik Parni and Kang Jaja, before she got back in the car. They both smiled at Meli and hinted Meli to sit in the front seat. Meli nodded, then got into the car and sat right next to Aris.

"Kang, Bik. Take care of the house." Aris's message before starting the car.

"Good sir." Bik Parni and Kang Jaja.

Slowly, the car that was driven by Aris, went to leave the luxurious house.

During the one hour journey, the two of them did not speak to each other at all. While from Jakarta to Kuningan, it takes four hours drive. Which means, there's still three more hours of time they have to pass together in that car.

Aris began to feel bored, then he played music to expel his drowsiness.

He glanced at Meli who was sitting beside him. The girl fell asleep with her mouth open.

"Qc..!"

He smiled to himself and shook his head, when he saw Meli's sleeping face.

 

..

Aris's car entered the rest area on the toll road. Then, Aris parked his car in a parking lot available for drivers who want to rest.

Aris grabbed the bottle of mineral water she brought from home. Then, he opened the bottle and drank almost half of the bottle.

After his thirst disappeared, he once again glanced at the face of Meli who was still asleep.

"Momute if you sleep again." He murmured as he closed his water bottle. After that, Aris ventured to touch Meli's shoulder.

"Wake up." Her speech.

Meli also opened her beautiful eyes, then she looked confused and swept her surrounding view.

"Where are we, sir?" Meli asked as she rubbed her eyes.

"That's why don't you sleep, let you know where it is." Aris said, annoyed. Then he opened the car door.

"I'm going to the toilet first." Reciprocity. Then he closed the car door.

He hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.

"Master come..!" Meli Seru.

Aris turned her head back, then locked her car with the remote.

Meli followed Aris from behind. Aris goes into the Men's and Meli toilet to the Women's toilet next to the Men's toilet.

After finishing her wish, Aris waited for Meli in front of the ladies' toilet. But after a few minutes of waiting, the girl did not come out of the woman's toilet.

"Mas, look at the girl I was with?" Ask Aris to the toilet guard.

"White shirt?" Ask the guard.

"Yes." Yeah." Aris answered quickly.

"Udah come out Mas, it's up ahead there."

The toilet guard pointed to a girl standing in front of the restaurant.

"Oh, yes, thank you." Said Aris while handing over the small money for toilet hygiene.

"Had it, it's paid for his wife."

"Oh,"

That was all Aris could say.

Aris too, rushed to Meli who was standing in front of the restaurant.

"Hungry?" Asked Aris who stopped his steps right next to Meli. Meli turned to Aris and smiled shyly.

"Come on."

Aris hints at Meli to follow her into the restaurant. Meli followed the man's footsteps excitedly. Then, he sat in front of Aris who was sitting in the corner of the dining room.

The waiter of the restaurant approached them and handed them the menu they were going to order. Aris and Meli read the menu book to choose the menu they will order.

After ordering the food they wanted, soon their food came. Impatiently, Meli immediately ate the food she ordered with Lyapah. While Aris continued to stare at the girl with her flat gaze.

"Nake?" Ask Aris. Meli nodded while smiling shyly.

"You want to add?" Ask Aris again. The girl shook her head.

Aris saw the rest of the rice perched sweetly at the corner of Meli's tiny lips. Then, he grabbed a piece of tissue on the dining table, then gave it to Meli.

"Eat no mess, throw the rest of the rice in the corner of your lips." Aris.

Doubtful, Meli took the tissue from Aris's hand. Then, he rubbed his lips with the tissue.

After they finished eating and paying the bills, they rushed out of the restaurant and walked towards the parking lot.

"Master didn't smoke?" Ask Meli innocently.

Aris stopped her steps and turned to Meli.

"Why?" Ask Aris.

"Typically men mostly smoke, like Kang Jaja. If he's done eating, he'll smoke." Meli replied with her innocent face.

"That's Jaja, he wants to die quickly." Said Aris, then he resumed his steps.

With a small run, Meli follows Aris's steps towards the car.

They continue the journey again, so as not to sleepy Aris tuned loudly his favorite song from the band Air Supply entitled goodbye.

Meli followed the song in a voice like she was whispering. Aris also glanced at Meli who was cool in singing.

"Do you know this song?" Ask curiously.

"Or Sir,"

Meli replied with a smile on her lips.

"Where from? this is an old song." Ask Aris again.

"I used to hear it on the radio when I was in SD. Incidentally too often this song is played on the broadcast chat memories, so I memorized Mr." Terang Meli's.

Aris just nodded with a smile. Seeing her Master smiling, Meli decided to stop singing.

"Sorry sir, if my voice is disturbing. After all, when I hear this song, I remember my childhood." Meli said while bowing her face.

"Your voice is good, your English is good too, just sing. I'll sing too."

Aris looked at Meli, then she smiled. Meli too, smiled shyly. Slowly, the two of them sang loudly in the car.

Three hours have passed, now they have arrived in Kuningan.

"Where's your village?" Asked Aris, their time was down the main road in the area.

"That sir, after the big tree, turn right. Later straight continue until you meet the rice field area. Well, after the corner, turn right. Then, turn left. Later meet the intersection take the straight path. Well, straight keep going inside. There will be a gate. Get into that archway, keep going......."

"Already, already..! So confused even point anyway." Said Aris who looked increasingly confused by the instructions that Meli conveyed.

"Yes, sir." Meli said while scratching her head that does not itch.

"Oh yes, you will be in front of your parents do not call me Sir. Just call me."

"Why Master?" Meli asked with a confused facial expression.

"Anyways, you just follow it."

"Bright sir."

"Mas, not Tuannnn."

Aris glared at Meli.

"But this is not before my parents, sir, I'm afraid."

Aris looked at the girl clumsily.

"Yes, rehearsal from now on." He said while throwing his gaze far ahead.

"Oh that's it." Said Meli innocently while nodding.
