This Taste

Nat

It's morning. The sun was already shining brightly, its warm rays entering through the window slit in Nathania's room. The noise of the passing vehicle in front of his house does not disturb his sleep. That's because he was only able to sleep at 5 a.m., after staying up all night to finish his job as a writer. As a writer sometimes ideas can appear at any time. And it should be immediately poured in the writing, or the idea will evaporate away.

Tik tok tik tok

The day is getting noon. It's 11 o'clock now. Suddenly, Nat rang.

"Hello.." said Nat weakly from half-sleep.

"Son, you're not awake yet?" the voice over there.

"Still sleepy" said Nat. Turns out the one who called was Rey's lover.

"What time do you sleep? Did you forget we had an appointment?" Rey is getting angry. He's getting impatient.

"In a moment, yes." said Nat still with his eyes closed. But he knows it's time he woke up because Rey wasn't the one who could wait.

"I don't want to know, you have to be here for half an hour" Rey said, deciding to call.

Rey is indeed not a gentle person, she tends to be rude and impatient. Even Rey also almost hit Nat when angry. Nat was confused by his feelings, what he should do. But because of one thing he can't leave Rey. For Nael, his only sister. Because He was Nael's only hope after his mother and father died.

Half an hour later he was already where Rey was waiting for him. Rey's face is not good to see. His face was fierce. Although his face was handsome but the glare of his eyes made people uncomfortable to see him. Looks like Rey's been waiting a while. The coffee in front of him was almost gone.

"What time did you sleep last night? Did you just wake up?" oceh Rey's. Nat just took a deep breath. He didn't answer Rey's rant, because he knew it was useless to answer.

"You if you have promised to keep dong, yesterday we promise to come here at 11. I even call not awake" Rey said. Nat just listened without answering. His face was already bete. Nat thinks more bik he didn't come. Sometimes Rey's nagging is worse than a girl. If there's a shaky guy competition, maybe Rey comes out as a winner.

Nat churns out the cappucino in front of him. I don't know what his goal is but he keeps stirring. He was tired of doing everything. The excitement of people passing by did not make him feel crowded. He always felt lonely.

"Why shut up? You haven't eaten yet, have you? I've ordered you to eat" said Rey softened to see Nat's already sour face. Well that's how Rey is, her attitude can change in an instant. He could arrive well after the emotion. This also makes Nat tired.

"Thank you." said Nat Lirih.

" you why, than just silence. Don't like me getting angry?"

"No papa, I'm just tired" Nat said as he leaned back on the chair. Not long after the food that Rey ordered came. They eat and spend the day together.

At night Rey drove home. Nat immediately gave up the body even without cleaning the body first as usual. He's feeling very tired. Tired of work, with Rey, of her life. She's lonely.
