You belong to me

Sweet morning part 2

The pinging has started this week.

Sandy alternately sleeps at Michael and Robert's house.

And every day they would pick up Reva from college for lunch.

Today Reva was waiting for them to pick her up at the college.

He was sitting on a park bench reading his diktat.

Tin.tinn...

Reva raised her face.

Josh, Steven, and his friends.

Reva stood up.

"Yuuk..luncheon.." take Andrew sitting next to Josh.

"I'm waiting for Om." said Reva.

His eyes were rubbing with Steven who was also looking at him.

"I'm calling Om you" said Josh, pulling out his phone.

"You're here." bring Anna.

Reva hesitates.

"Bosses...

I took Reva.

Lunches.

Meet in a normal place." said Josh.

Josh then listened for a while and then disconnected.

"Come on." she told Reva.

Steven then went down.

"I'm on Steve's side." haggard Reva.

Steven just kept quiet while staring at Reva.

Reva sighed.

He's in.

Steven followed.

The three of them sat down with Anna.

On road.

"Va...you still live in Boss' house ?" ask Josh.

"Still, Josh."

"Bareng Boss ?"

"Why are you asking ?" ask Reva who doesn't really want to talk much.

He's being tense.

Come with Steven to where he and Sandy will meet.

Will Sandy get angry ?

"The bosses have been coming together since last week" Josh replied.

Reva.

Steven glanced at him, staring at the sharp nose sticking out from behind the strands of his hair that fell forward.

Steven complained in his heart.

He almost had this girl.

And now he can't forget it.

"Ehmm.it...

There is a custom from my tribe that asks that the bride and groom do not meet until the wedding day.

it's called a pingitan."

"Oo.so Sandy now lives where ?" ask Andrew.

"At Om Michael's house in Taipei" replied Reva.

"So you're alone in Boss' house ?"

"Yes..."

Josh glanced at the rearview mirror at Steven.

Steven was looking out.

"But how do you still meet ?" ask Anna.

"Yes ...

That..ehmm... How about it ?

The pingitan depends on the condition and situation as well.

I'm the same as Om.

So it's kind of in the rules.

When I get home, I'm the same as real pingitan."

"Don't you really see me ?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Call ?"

"No."

Once again Josh looked at Steven through the rearview.

This time he saw Steven looking down at Reva.

Josh shook his head.

He felt sorry for Steven.

Never once did Steven fall in love with a girl.

As she remembers, she knows.

They have known each other for a long time.

Only since Reva was present did Steven open his heart.

Josh was no wonder.

Reva besides being pretty, she's smart.

Many other women are just as smart, but for some reason, it's just Reva that draws Steven's heart.

A pity...

His mother was in full defiance.

Just because of heredity.

And now, the only girl who had stopped in her heart was preparing for marriage with someone else.

Josh doesn't know what it's like to be Steven.

He was forced to be heartbroken.

But that's an advantage for Sandy.

And both, Steven and Sandy are people close to him.

She was happy for Sandy.

Car entering the parking lot.

They're all down.

Carefully, Reva chose her seat.

He tried to sit as far away from Steven as possible.

He wants to avoid conflict with Sandy.

Steven seems to know that Reva is avoiding him.

He just shut up.

Today he didn't talk much.

Josh nudged.

"You sick ?"

Steven shakes.

Reva who heard Josh's question, looked at Steven.

Studying.

Steven's not pale.

But since then he hasn't talked much.

Steven looked at Reva.

"What ?" ask her.

"Ah no.

I thought you were sick.

I didn't say anything." replied Reva.

"I'm sick ?"

Everyone looked at him.

"I am sick.

Heartache." he said slowly but still heard by his friends.

Reva won't answer.

"Are you interested in my pain, Va ?

Like you used to be having Sandy's pain ?" sindir Steven is slow.

Everything at the table was silent.

Reva silent.

Steven was arguing, apparently,

and he does not serve.

Reva raised her face.

"Are we not going to order food yet?

I'm hungry." she asked.

""Yes.we order now" said Andrew answering Reva's question as well as diverting the conversation.

Comments from Steven made his friends did not dare to open their voices.

The atmosphere became awkward.

Ten minutes later, Sandy and her friends arrived.

Sandy's smile widened as she looked at Reva.

He approached.

"Hello, dear.." he said while peeping Reva's temple.

Steven looked at them and then looked the other way.

Be ill.

Reva raised her head.

"Om...ok lama..?" tanyakanya.

Sandy sat.

"Hmm.So there's something to be taken with Michael" he replied.

"Old time ?" ask Sandy to the others.

"Lumayan.

Twenty minutes." replied Josh.

Sandy smiled.

Reva's order is coming.

"Neck, Va ?

Do you usually eat a lot ?" reproof Sandy.

Her hands floated up, pulling Reva's haircut that fell onto her cheek.

"So it's been brilliant, Om.

Jerry's the same as Prof Stephen, bring a lot of food."

"That's it tonight you have to eat a lot." Kat Sandy.

"Yes Om.quiet...

I like to eat too." replied Reva smiling.

Sandy nodded.

He glanced at Steven.

Sandy's not stupid.

When he arrived earlier he had already seen the tense atmosphere on the table.

Just this time, Reva had lunch with Steven along with him and the others since their engagement was officially announced.

With his presence, neither Steven nor Reva had to hold back.

To show no friendly action or anything.

Refraining yourself ?

She's Reva's husband-to-be.

And he didn't want to share anything with Steven.

Reva has already started to open her heart to him.

Sandy will keep that up.

He had to keep Reva away from Steven.

Sandy was this close to having Reva.

He will definitely not back down.

"Honey..this is still class ?"

Reva looked at Sandy.

The word 'Honey' is spoken in Mandarin.

Lately Sandy often calls her 'Honey' but in Indonesian.

Reva's not stupid.

She knows Sandy deliberately used an affectionate call to warn Steven that Reva is now hers and they are soon to be married.

Reva smiles.

"One more, dear Om." reply Reva in Indonesian.

"What time?"

"Ehmm .. finished at two."

"I'll wait."

"Wait ?"

"Yes...

We're staying at Michael's tonight."

Reva nodded then raised her gaze around him.

His eyes caught the eyes of Steven who was looking at him.

Reva silently complained inwardly.

He hopes Steven will move on.

Steven's unchanging treatment makes it hard to learn to stop loving Steven.

But he must.

Reva has opened her heart to Sandy.

If not, he will refuse to marry.

But...

He had also not been able to completely remove Steven from his heart.

Moreover, their relationship was broken not because Steven cheated.

But it was his mother's blessing that they didn't get.

And Reva has a principle that parental blessing is important to pocket if you want to form a family.

Deliberately, she brought her body closer to Sandy.

"Emmm...

Don't you want to bribe me ?" whispered friendly.

Sandy raised her face in surprise.

"You want to be bribed ?

No papa ?" her question glanced at Steven.

"Ehmm.." nodding Reva.

He has to do this.

Cruel.

But must.

"okay."

Sandy scoops the rice with her side dish from her own plate.

"Ehm.pake it" points out spoiled Reva on pieces of broccoli.

Sandy took the broccoli.

Then lift the spoon.

"Aaa.." she said smiling.

Reva bribing.

Sandy wiped a bit of the stain over Reva's lips with her thumb.

Everyone at the table looked at the two of them.

Then quietly glanced at Steven.

Steven kept eating quietly.
