When Love Teases

60. The Sunday Night Coalition

Ciamorous

He wanted to keep a secret about the silat match he will participate in tomorrow week. Even the slip of delivering it. Yes already. Maybe Rama as a special person, whose name is now enthroned in the heart, must know his activities. Although it must be several times convinced if this match is safe and healthy. Even if not licensed or not under the supervision of IPSI (Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia).

Puput is ready to go to work. Wearing Aul's motorbike, which is on college day. A little disappointed because Rama did not return the message. The blue tick is clearly read. Last night positive thinking maybe Rama is tired and early in the morning will call him. Zonk.

A moment to observe the progress of the construction of rice stalls. Where Friday all building workers are off. Thank God it is 50%. And sure next week can be completed not only the building, but also with the contents complete. The table seat order is just waiting for confirmation from him when to be delivered. The banner also neon box today will be taken care of by Aul to the printing press.

"Nita, please get this groceries if you can deliver before Friday." Puput paid cash for the purchase of ceramics, paint, and others. He himself chooses according to taste. Mentioning the address on behalf of Ibu Sekar. No need for coworkers to know if it's actually his groceries.

"Ready, Tea." The cashier who yesterday became the halal MC of bihalal nodded obediently. Create a double invoice that will be submitted to the admin which is then forwarded to the warehouse clerk. By writing a special code that hints at morning delivery below 12 o'clock.

Up again to the second floor, Puput was greeted at the point of question by Via who entered his cubicle. Only he's a colleague in the office who knows about the building materials shopping he just did. "Your big dollar gini. He said the same to Mr. Hendra. It can be quite a discount of 20%" he said observing Puput's purchase invoice. Reminds staff of special prices. Only by showing the cover letter signed by the manager.

"Same as a leak dong. Let's buy normal just from the ends are given free equal big boss. I don't want to talk ah." The pupil is back facing the computer screen. The phone on his desk rang.

Via came out of his cubicle Faded while shrugging his shoulders. He succumbed to the establishment of his friend's club. Besides feeling proud. Maybe if other women will change over acting when having a partner who is not twisted like an RPA boss.

"What's up, sir?!" Puput sitting at the end of the sofa room Mr. Hendra. Because the manager who called him just now was there holding a laptop with a lot of files lying on the table.

Mr. Hendra moved the laptop to his side. Focused attention on the Puput waiting for him to open the conversation. "Put, the big boss just called me. You have to take a work holiday tomorrow. Not an offer, though. It's an order to obey."

"Eh, why? I broke what huh?!" The sudden decision was a surprise. The yes time because it just came down to the first floor almost 30 minutes long, making shopping for building materials a problem.

Mr. Hendra smelled a smile. "not sanctioned. But you were told to rest, no cape. He said he wanted to play a silat match Sunday. Duh, got a lot of attention huh. Lucky for you, Put. Dapet guy kayak Pak Rama. Watch out don't let go! But it also has to be strong with temptations out there. It could be a lot of girls who queue want to dapetin love the boss perfect. Young, handsome, fine, smitten again. And you're the winner. Your charm has brought him to his knees." Clearly he supported the relationship between Puput and Rama. Fiery he gave me wudges.

"I accepted his love for Aa Rama not because of his love. It's about the heart. I'm the kind of girl who doesn't fall in love easily. But he kept giving attention not only to me, but to my family as well. My heart was touched." Puput chuckled in reply soberly without prestige. Mr. Hendra already knows his personality. In fact, it was once introduced to the guest manager of a plywood company who liked it. But it did not continue because of his rejection.

"Oh, okay. So Aa yes her call. Co cuit if said the youngest flower mah." Mr. Hendra laughed. Reminds me of her third child. And now it's very nice to tease Puput who was shocked to shut his mouth because he felt careless.

The puput closed the door tightly. Stand for a moment to neutralize the heated and blushing cheeks. He hurried out because he was embarrassed to be the months of temptation of Mr. Hendra. There was still laughter from the manager until it came out. Even now his gaze was fluttered with a sharp gaze Septi who walked closer with his hands flanking the map.

The puput sits in his chair. Open the drawer where the phone is stored. His thumbs moved quickly opening a message from Rama. Ignoring other messages.

"Neng, tomorrow at home. Don't be too cape. Use a day as a quiet time."

"Sorry I haven't been able to call. There's a meeting outside the office."

"Miss you so much."

The three consecutive messages that entered 16 minutes ago were able to paint a small smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Aa. Don't forget to take care of your health!"

Of course, he also felt the same longing. Just a line of words sent in return. Because last night it was expressed sono's taste. Although not reciprocated.

Puput now has a new habit of intermittently checking the phone. Nothing else is not just to see if there are new messages or missed calls. Ahead of sleep open the photo gallery also look at room chat Rama. But this Saturday night there was no chat or phone call from him.

I haven't seen you in a week.

The grieving man complains in his heart. Can only express by pursing the lips. Though really hoping to talk to treat the miss tonight. Finally choosing to pull the blanket just closed his eyes to add the island in his favorite pillow.

Saturday at 1pm. Rama, Enin and Cia had arrived at Ciamis' house smoothly safely. Mang Yaya who picked him up to the airport by driving a Pajero owned by Rama who was not used when returning to Jakarta.

Rama did not remain silent. His thumb moves quickly surfing on online shopping apps. Sorting out what will be brought to the house of Puput as souvenirs. Also prepare a surprise plan that should work. It needs someone's help, he thought. He sends a message to someone before then turning into a conversation via phone. Done.

Time is moving into the afternoon. Three drivers ojol and one courier at different times, have delivered all their groceries.

Rama responded with a laugh. It was clearly drawn by that happy face. Yang casually stuffed all the items into the car that had been washed shiny by Mang Yaya.

After Magrib Rama entered Enin's room. It looks like the grandmother is teaching while waiting for the isya time. He went to Puput's house.

"When do you want to lamar Puput? Don't dawdle. It's better to get married if you're already sreg." Enin reminded the grandson who grabbed his shoulder.

"Patience, Enin. We're gonna be here not long ago. Rama thought about that too. Doa'in yes Enin, moga Puput is the best mate." Rama left after kissing the reverence of the grandmother's hand.

In front of Cia's room whose door was slightly open, there was a conversation between the sister and Aunt Ratih. Rama just passed through. Letting her aunt encourage and support morale. The trauma of the brother has not gone away. While on the plane, keep your eyes closed. Because he was still afraid and his hands broke out in cold sweat when he saw a male passenger he did not know. Hopefully while here, over time the trauma will disappear.

...***...

Various expressions shown Ami when invited to join by Zaky in Aul's room. Rounding the eyes, sometimes giggling with restraint, sometimes rubbing hands because of grimness and can not wait. It could be said that the three of them were in the room to hide from his first brother.

"Aa, how much longer anyway? I want to wet the bed." Ami whispers. Switch to the bathroom because you can't wait to get out of the room.

"Wait until the guest arrives. Don't talk anymore. Later dikakban his mouth if the noise continues." Zaky rebuked Ami who had always been stirring herself since.

"Uughhh, oyeh-oyeh...come!"

"DIEM!"

"DIEM!"

Aul and Zaky simultaneously growled and glared sharply towards the youngest. Ami immediately reacts to padlocks the mouth by twisting two fingers.

Puput after praying magrib open his wardrobe. Zaky suddenly told me this afternoon, if at 7 pm this week ask to be accompanied to the birthday of Clarisa, her schoolmate, in class. He knew Clarisa, who sometimes called him just to ask; "Teh, Zaky is there?"

Because the only sister who is classified as an idol in the school is always indifferent and ignores any message from girlfriends. Always reluctant to see if anyone comes home. Then the mother who most often faced if the guest who came was a woman. Zaky is more interested in carving wood on the back porch to be made miniature objects according to the order entered. Instead of facing a girl friend who is looking for attention and spread charm to her by giving chocolate.

Puput finished dressing pretty. Because it is basically beautiful. Clarisa's son pak camat and held a birthday party at a famous cafe in the downtown area. Of course must appear plenary, must not disappoint Zaky who keukeuh asked to be his partner.

Why not. I'm like a high school kid wearing this shirt.

Pupils snigger in front of the mirror. Take a long look at the casual yet elegant style. With minimalist make up application on the face. Self-confident. Feeling like a 17-year-old High School boy.

"Zak.....It's ready." Puput shouted out the name of the sister as soon as it got under the stairs. The called one does not answer. Nor does he see. Zaky's room upstairs was also empty. Guess if the sister is ready and waiting for him below.

"Mom, where's Zaky? Where is Ami also? Tumben deserted gini." Puput to the mother who just came out of the room is still wrapped face up.

"Don't know. Magrib's mother in the room. Jajan cilok maybe. Earlier, Ami wanted to buy Mang Aos pegs who used to hang out at the patrol post every magrib." Mother passed away to the kitchen leaving the firstborn to screech.

The pupil can only grumble a little. Zaky asks 7 o'clock to leave don't be late. Even the boy is now invisible. Two minutes at 7. How is the child. He's ruffled around the waist.

Ting tong's.

The bell rings when Puput is tidying up again the hijab she wears.

Ting tong's.

"Yes momentarily--" said the Escape as he walked towards the main door. The guest no longer pressed the bell.

The door, which was always locked from the inside for safety, was turned twice. The door handle is pressed down and pulled inwards. Gaped with round eyes as soon as he saw the figure standing opposite each other. His heart suddenly beat irregularly like a running race.

"Assalamu'alaikum--" A tall man said his greetings. Standing up straight to review the sweet smile featuring a row of neat white teeth, with sparkling black neutrals, and both hands hidden behind.
