When Love Fades

first day

Today is the first day of December. It was the first day of the Alan and Devina agreement. Alan did not take anything special this month, although this was the beginning of the polemic in his household.

Loving another woman who has never been in her mind. All of this is just a crazy game that will waste time.

Agreeing to Devina's wishes won't affect her love for Renata. Remembering He was the wife he had been invited to live a difficult life. Traverse here and there. Debt is here. Till jerked debcolector. Especially just holding on to hunger. It was normal for him.

A full month Rena only cook clear vegetables moringa with side dishes tempe fried and sambal orek. It was ramadan month. People always sahur and open with a variety of special menus. Not with Alan.

None of the neighbors were willing to give them food. So heartbreaking.

If you remember all that, do not want to feel to leave the person who has been willing to accompany likes and sorrows.

Even when Alan was in the shelter. Rena banged her bones looking for money here and there for living expenses and also to pay bills that have been delinquent. All the goods that can be sold Rena sells. That's not enough either.

Trying to ask for help from Mbak Iren, hoping he can help and reduce his burden this month. But what he got was nothing. Not enough to pay the electricity bill.

Waiting for Alan to get a salary is still long and I don't know when. Must patient.

Suddenly his phone vibrated. Hope that's a message from Rena. For some days his beloved wife did not contact him.

Alan opened and read the message and then scrunched his right eyebrow.

"morning darling.... Today I cooked something special for you. Wait for me yes...". Apparently Devina. He threw the flat object on the bed and rushed to the bathroom.

Sure enough, a few minutes later there was a knock on the door in front.

"waalaikum salam's.. Yes, a moment ".

"Ehhh.... My prince has taken a shower.. More handsome..". Devina tidied up Alan's hair with her soft hands.

"this is me bringing beef rendang... There is no sale here. You eat yes. But I'm sorry I can't let you eat. Because my office is far away. So I have to go now.".

Alan just silently stared. Didn't say a word. Even his views are ordinary. It was just that his stomach started to get disturbed after smelling the aroma of the cooking.

"you eat a lot.. In consumin. I'm leaving, baby. Assalamualikum ?".

Devina instantly disappeared from in front of Alan. Like making room for Alan to eat the food he brought.

Alan sat down and was confused that the food was about to be flanked. During his marriage to Rena, he was never cooked meat at all. Because he doesn't like it. Even seeing him he couldn't stand it. His entire stomach will come out. I don't know which planet he's from.

"But what's wrong with this food. If I let it ruin his name". Alan took a spoon and tasted it. If it is not good, it will be sure to enter the trash.

But damn it

"crazy !!!.... Delicious too.. Clever Devina seduced me. Eitsss.... Alan... You have to stay careful. Don't be tempted. Your heart is for a Renata". Alan tried to remind himself of Renata.

"No what.. It's just food. It won't bother my heart".

Alan finished the rice he took on the plate along with the food given by Devina. The rest he put in the food closet for dinner tonight.
