When Love Teases

96. Pick you up

"Good afternoon. Sorry to interrupt the time." A man in a neat suit approached the long table. Nodding politely while holding the gift box. All eyes were on him.

"There is a thank you from the mall management for Princess Kirana. Again, thank you for helping break up the commotion." Leo, who was assigned by the boss, handed the exclusive box in front of the Kuput table.

Everyone was full of curiosity. "What is this princess doing, mas?" The lush-bodied Juni Jeng was intrigued to know. Everyone has wide ears.

And Leo told me about the commotion in detail. At the same time giving praise to the expertise of Puput to be a mediator. Not long after, he left the room.

Mami Ratna looked at Puput with both eyebrows raised. Inevitably Puput nodded, confirming.

"Sorry, Mi. I didn't want to be told to be gossip." The smiling pup grimaced.

My mother smiled widely. Swiping the shoulders of the Escapees with a look full of pride. "Well, here's my daughter-in-law's advantage, jeng. She is not only beautiful but also humble. The violet belt silat champion. The highest level." Clearly blatantly praising in front of his friends.

Puput only blushed and smiled knotfully as the socialite group returned praising him.

On the way to Cia's office, Puput opened the brown gift box. Not only was he curious about the contents, Mami too.

"Perfumes?" Puput muttered slowly. Remembering when he was looking at the display row of perfumes.

"Mommy, is this not an exaggerated gift? It was during a storm, I was standing at the perfume shop." He handed me the box that was open.

Mami frowned looking at the perfume's logo. "It's an expensive perfume, Put. But looking at the mall that was bona fide, Mami felt it was only natural that management gave this gift. Maybe he doesn't need to buy but free."

Mami no longer talked about the gift of perfume. But at least Puput mwrasa relieved what he got was known to the in-laws. Avoiding misunderstandings.

Been in Cia's office long enough. The front of which is a mobile counter that is crowded visitors, it turns out that on the back wall there are 6 tables containing 6 admin who are busy staring at the computer screen, serving online orders via market place and also social media.

"Teh, tomorrow I'll come pick up Rama!" Cia had told Damar that his girlfriend would take Puput to the airport tomorrow at 4 p.m.

"That's a lot, Cia." Puput welcomed with pleasure.

"Mommy, call Papi dong. As we gather, we're dinner outside." Pinta Cia looked at Mami who had just finished performing the Ashar prayer.

"Good idea, baby. Mom, call first." Mami contacted the husband who located his office building across the street. And the invitation of the dinner was approved by Papi Krisna who could just leave the office after the magrib.

Cia clapped her hands excitedly. He called Damar to invite him to dinner together.

Gather the family in the moment of dinner minus Rama it was done. A spontaneous idea that could bring together busy men gathered at a table in a restaurant.

"Let's repeat the dinner together when Rama has come home." Said Papi Krishna who was also happy to gather one table.

"Yes dong has to!" My mom is enthusiastic.

...***...

Saturday afternoon, Puput repeated the bath for the second time. By pampering yourself through the body and then soak in the bathtub in the warm water that has been tested essential therapeutic aroma. All this was done to welcome the husband.

Counting down hours. Degdegan feeling hit the chest. As if the same feeling when you first feel in love with a man who already has it whole. Smile-smiling farts staring at the reflection in the mirror. Seeing his face that continues to meet imagining approximately three more hours will be in Rama's arms.

It's 4pm soon. It regulates the breath. Calms the thumping in the chest. His appearance is neat. The sling bag is already draped on the shoulder. Returning the touch up face by sweeping the sponge powder to make sure the simple makeup is perfect and glowing. Done.

Puput went down the stairs to Damar and Cia who were ready in the middle room. They also say goodbye to Papi and Mami who choose to wait at home.

This afternoon it's raining. The journey to the international airport in the Tangerang region is normally taken 1 hour using four wheels. There is still time because at 6 pm Rama's plane will land. As per the last info obtained, if the transit is smooth so that the plane will arrive on time.

Entering the inner-city toll, heavy rain began to pour down the streets. Cia reminded Damar not to speed even though the streets were quiet. Damar nodded obediently. Only drive the car at a speed of 60-70 km/h.

Damar who was carrying his car on the right lane, suddenly straightened his back. Gives a left penny to move the lane. The shocked face was caught by Cia who was sitting in the seat beside him.

"What's up, brother?"

"There's a problem with the tires." Damar stared at the spy. He felt the way of the car was uncomfortable, a little shrewd. Look at the rear tire on the right, but it looks normal. "We need to pull over first." By pressing the hazard light button, he looks for a wide and safe road shoulder position.

Black clouds and heavy rain made the new time show at half-five, looking darker like magrib time. Glass wipers moving left and right clean the windshield from the rainwater so that the view remains clear and bright.

"Tea, punten grab an umbrella in the back seat." Damar opened the seat belt to get off to check the condition of the tire. Puput quickly get it.

With a black paddle, Damar got out of his car with a flashlight. Carefully, he circled the car checking the condition of all the tires. Lucky to wear short jeans, so that splashes only on sneaker shoes and calves, do not wet the pants. His forehead shriveled, seeing the left rear tire torn by a nail mine.

Puput witnessed a car that stopped behind the car he was riding. Both turned on the hazard lights, two people came down from the front door and the back approached Damar. His mind is positive, maybe they will help.

Bugh.

"Gurgh!"

It all happened so quickly and surprisingly. Damar groaned and fell down when a blunt force hit the back of his head.

"Sister Damar!" She screamed hysterically. Spontaneously the girl opened the door to approach her lover. But one of the men in a black jacket blocked and smothered his mouth. Cia glared, shortly drooping and collapsing in the rainwater.

Undeniably the body Puput stiffened. His eyes were sharp full of alertness and alertly focused on his right foot. As soon as the door opened from the outside, he kicked it. Makes a black man stray backwards.

Get out of the car. It doesn't give the person who opens the door a chance to get up. Two continuous kicks are applied to the face and stomach. Fresh blood mixed with rainwater flows from the mouth and nose.

The pup cupped a baseball bat that the man in the black jacket had with both hands. A leg kick is thrown into the stomach. Make the man in the black jacket stagger. He also staggered because of the baseball bat that was released from the man's hand.

The slump would chase two men running into the car, but the moans of Damar holding the back of the head and wet with blood and rain water, stopped his steps, turning his head in a stupefied breath. Too late, the car of the perpetrator of violence has speeded away from the tempest.

...***...

A handsome man with a casual outfit walked strappingly pulling a large suitcase. Although the tired look was visible, but the happy twinkle was more domineering. He breathed a sigh of relief, grateful to return to the homeland faster and safer.

Mobile phones with domestic operator numbers have been activated again. Rama read the last message from Puput that said he was on the toll in the city. At terminal three to the pick-up point, he contacted his wife to ask for her current position. But twice connected there is no answer.

"Sir Rama?"

Rama urung made a re-call when a man in a driver's uniform greeted him.

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm Adyatama's office driver. I was told to pick up Mr. Rama by Mr. Damar. Because Mr. Damar's car broke down outside the toll."

"After picking up Mr. Rama, you will immediately pick up Mr. Damar and Miss who are waiting at the restaurant."

"Is that so?!" Rama was silent for a moment to notice the unfamiliar driver's face was also digesting the explanation just now. But looking at the company's name tag and logo in the man's shirt pocket, he nodded his head.

The suitcase was taken over. Rama followed the man who claimed the driver to the parking lot at terminal three. Looks like the new rain subsides to see the asphalt that is still wet by the rest of the rainwater.

The back car door opened. Rama stopped his steps. He hesitated to see the black car Innova in front of him. It feels like the company is always rejuvenating the office inventory car. This car looks like an old one.

"See, I'd like to call Damar first!" Rama reached into his pocket. But the lump in his mouth from behind, made him shocked. He revolted when a pungent smell was inhaled by the nose. Yet there was another figure that ambushed his hand firmly. Furthermore the dizziness was so strong and the sight suddenly darkened.
