When Love Teases

24. Uncovering the Past

Jakarta

From the initial plan to be in Ciamis for four days, stretch to six days. It also feels less. Too late to live in the hometown of the mother considering there is a Ciamis mojang nyantol in the heart. With heavy leaving the city with the hallmark of the galendo. Returning to the capital due to work duties as well as personal affairs that wanted to be completed immediately.

Rama took off the clothes that were soaked in sweat. Just got home. And asked his driver Papi Krisna to drive Damar home to the apartment, taking his car.

Silent home. Because according to Bi Lilis' information, Mami and Papi were both going for a weekend walk. Rama lay down on his soft bed, on his back while bare-chested. The room that was left for almost a week was kept clean, well maintained and tidy.

While resting, he opened a flat object lying next to his body. Her smile puffed up staring at the photo gallery. Successfully take some candid photos when Puput is driving. Start serious face until the face frowning because told to drive until entering the Lake area.

"When is the house?!"

Rama chuckles in view of the protests of the Escapees with pursed lips. At all the girl did not hesitate to protest even though the reigning one was the boss. But instead make Rama entertained and happy with the attitude as it is.

"dither. You haven't been smooth over teeth. Feels judicious. Must have feelings!"

Rama was still staring fixed photo of Puput whose cheeks blushed natural red. The reason he made was simply trusted by the white girl. Though the mode in order to linger alone. Because tomorrow (today) reality will be different from yesterday.

"Mops....Put. So plain you are." Rama's index finger rubbed the screen with a photo in the zoom. Imagine as if stroking directly the cheeks that are certainly smooth soft.

His preoccupation was piqued with the screen display turning into an incoming call. Zara calling's.

Rama clucking. His mood instantly changed 180 degrees. He also woke up from his sleep. If not answered, the phone will keep ringing.

"Darling...has Jakarta not been?!" Zara's carefree voice charged first.

"This is just until. I'm gonna take a shower!" Rama reasoned to immediately be able to end the telephone connection. Very lazy to hear the spoiled voice mendayu made it. Not the kind of woman he likes.

"I'm so upset.I'm going to your house right now!"

"Eh, don't-don't! I'm going to sleep first, Zara. Take a break, cape."

"Oohh yes be it.when I miss. Met's resting, baby. Mmeacch."

Rama refused to answer again. Just keep his phone on the bed. Choose to go to the bathroom to splash his head and body with cold water.

Sleep is just an excuse it makes. He had no intention of sleeping in the afternoon. Last Saturday his time was spent with Puput only in cars. Three o'clock in the afternoon just arrived at Puput's house. Continue quality time with Enin until night while chatting casually. Intentionally done while massaging the feet of his favorite grandmother before returning to Jakarta. To that end, some work was abandoned and replaced this afternoon accompanied by a glass of ice lemon basil made by Aunty.

"I didn't say it was home. Kan Mami won't be leha-leha playing outside." Mami Ratna is shocked to find Rama eating dinner alone. He just returned home after going out with Papi Krishna.

"Grandfather, Mam. I'm not a child who's gonna cry because I'm home alone." Rama gulped down the white water covering his meal. "Where's mom from? Already eaten?! he asked where his invisible papi was.

"Mommy ate at the seafood restaurant. Papi take a walk to Pulau Seribu from morning. Cape but it's exciting." Rama watched the bright mother's cheerful face. Mirror happy mood. He was proud and envious of the harmony displayed by his parents. Never once saw a fight happen. And he hopes that his domestic life will be as friendly and harmonious as they are.

"Bapi again on the terrace. Just got a phone call first." The connection of Mami Ratna's speech spread the Rama's daydream that still looked at the face of the mother. The one in the middle looked down peeling one orange.

Rama approached Papi Krishna outside. My mom went to the room. I can't wait to talk about Zara. Because the most imposing engagement is Papi, not Mami. But it turned out to even cross paths with Papi Krishna on the main doorstep. The look on his face though it looks smringah but there is tired murat. Makes Rama worried to express his intentions. Those who are now standing face to face and looking at each other in silence.

"You want to talk to Papi, son?!"

Rama nodded. Not long ago I turned to shaking my head. It seems like tonight the situation is not right.

Make Papi Krishna smile knot while patting his son's right shoulder.

"But also want to talk to you important. But now Papi is tired. Tomorrow at noon we'll talk outside the office. Just the two of us. Mommy don't be told. Okay?!" Papi Krishna asked for approval.

"Okay, Pi." Rama gave way to the father to pass by. While he himself remains out. Sit on the patio chair and take out a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, I like to cough when inhaling cigarette smoke. How about moving seats inside?!"

A cigarette that has been tucked in a finger, hanging in the air, has not reached the lips. The match that had been lifted, turned it off again. Terngiang Puput speech when you want to start the meeting yesterday. Making him just twirling the cigarette he was holding.

What means Puput doesn't like guys who smoke?

Ciamorous

Holidays a day just on Sunday, seemed to pass quickly. It's Monday again. It means getting into work again.

Huft.

The exfoliator breathes fresh air and exhales slowly. At six o'clock in the morning before bathing, take the time to stretch the muscles as well as warm up so that the body feels fresh and the spirit to start the activity.

Yesterday the first week he no longer trained silat children in Padepokan. Even Aris the owner of Padepokan very regretful about his decision to leave the ranks of the coach. But his decision was already unanimous, his intention was already strong. Puput wants to focus on advancing his mother's culinary business. Yesterday he had to deliver a rice box order to the house of Mr. Hendra, which is on the border of Ciamis-Tasik. Continued by shopping to the mother market according to the list on a piece of paper written by his mother.

Arriving at work, as usual every Monday begins a briefing by Mr. Hendra about 10 minutes.

"Via, I'll confide in Ishoma." The eavesdropped at the Via cubicle after all the employees sat sweetly in their seats.

"Ck, time for work. Don't let us eat blind!" Puput.

"Clue first, Snail...plis!" Rengek Via forced.

"Hmm, okay. It's a matter of dream come true." said Puput accompanied by a big smile. The phone on his desk rang.

"Put, to my room now yes!" Firmly the voice of Mr. Hendra over there.

"Ready, sir." Puput immediately moved towards the manager's room with spirited steps. Another thingy Via who sniffed because it was even more curious. Not the clue that Frogs gave but a riddle.

In the room, Mr. Hendra welcomed Puput with a crisp face.

"So I stopped by his house, Mr. Hera, his grandmother, Mr. Rama. Take the file deposited by Mr. Rama before returning to Jakarta yesterday."

"Oh Mr Rama is back in Jakarta?!" Puput wants to make sure. Suddenly remembered the togetherness of Saturday yesterday, during a meeting and driving a car owned by his boss.

Mr. Hendra nodded. "Yes. He even called me last night to get a file. He also said, cooperation with Mr. David can deal because of your help. Mr. Rama praised you, Put." he said as he raised the file containing the draft cooperation that must be copied it.

Puput. "Ah wrong it, sir. It is precisely Mr. Rama who is good at lobbying. I am amazed. If I just talk at the end to convince the client." he avoids being called important role.

"Wow, it's even mutually praise. IT FITS!" Mr. Hendra smiled meaningfully. But responded with an ordinary smile.

"Put, what do you think Mr Rama is?!" Mr. Hendra broke the silence after he asked Puput to reprint a financial statement sheet that was accidentally stained with coffee.

"Hmm, how is it. For sure Mr. Rama is a good boss, his attitude is pleasant. Uh..one more. HANDSOME." Puput awkwardly giggled in front of the manager. He stood up, preparing to leave the room while clutched in the chest of the file that must be revised.

"And one more, still single, Put." Mr. Hendra added.

"Wuahh, must be a ciwi-ciwi dong idol." And Puput also excuse me to come out.

Hendra was just shaking his head. "It's a really insensitive kid being fished." His complaints were hoping that Puput would ask for his help to be comblangin. But the girl was ordinary.

Jakarta

Papi Krishna kept his promise. During the break, he and Rama headed to a restaurant for lunch and talked seriously. There is a mosque that is comfortable to carry out its obligations as a Muslim.

"Who wants to talk?!" Papi Krishna asked Rama for his opinion. Finish eating the main menu, change the two glasses of black coffee ordered.

"I was, Pi."

Papi Krishna nodded in agreement.

"But why are you so insistent on trying to match me up to Zara? Though his father Zara is not an investor in the company, just an ordinary friend right? Or does Papi have a debt of gratitude to Om Rio?!"

"And I went back to Jakarta to break this engagement. I'm not happy, Pi. I have the right to live happily by my own choice instead of being betrothed!"

"I'm sorry, Pi. If for this one thing I choose to be the son of a dissident!" Suppress Rama firmly and straightforwardly. Plong had his chest after all this time was taken out.

Papi Krishna smiled faintly. "Before the Papi answers, you must first see the story of Papi!"

Krisna let out a heavy sigh and momentarily lowered her head to the table.

"Rama, you still remember what Papi's hobby was?!"

"Fire rides mountains and camping." Rama answered confidently.

Papi Krishna nodded in.

"Listen and don't cut!" Papi Krishna.

"It used to be about 7.5 years ago, Papi and the community made a climb on Mount Gede Sukabumi. The number is 6 people, one of them is Rio, Zara's Papa."

Rama saw the beginning of his papyri.

"Happy climb to the top, Rio suddenly proposed setting up a tent at the camping ground location because the cloudy weather seemed to be going down a dangerous rain of lightning setting up the tent above."

"Short story, Papi and Rio became partners of one tent. Four other friends changed their minds. Not going to camping. Decided to stay at a relative's house in another village."

"Night Papi participated in the fire event to join other camping ground participants. Only Papi and Rio were old, others were young."

Krishna breathed a heavy breath again.

"The fire drinks ginger to warm the body. Until suddenly Papi felt heavy sleepiness. The sleepy that cannot be arrested. Papi doesn't know what happened after that. Subconsciously Papi woke up because of the glare of sunlight. Papi was already in the tent. And to his surprise, there was a woman who slept while hugging Papi's chest that was plain without clothes. It's called Kartika--"
