Steven glances.
"My family won't eat you, Va." he said softly.
"But..."
"No going.
There's me anyway." Steven said calmly.
Reva was silent but her forehead was wrinkled.
Steven laughs.
His finger stroked Reva's wrinkled forehead, smoothing it.
"Let me be here again..
I used to come here when I was free.
It's you who don't know.
I think I once talked to you. Long ago.."
Reva then remembered..
Steven took him to China twice.
But he was very busy at the time.
While the holiday time is used to return to Indonesia, see his parents.
"Yuk .. It's done, right ?
We'll go for another walk." take Steven.
They're out of the store.
The snow stopped now back down.
Steven ordered a taxi.
They're heading for the forbidden city.
While getting off the taxi, Reva could not hide her admiration.
"Wow.." he sighed.
Steven smiled.
"Yuk.." he said back in Reva's hand.
They walked around the forbidden city.
Many times Reva's lips clucked.
She's amazed.
The country changed from an imperial system to a communist government.
But his artistic and intellectual property is still preserved.
It can be seen from the very preservation of the forbidden city.
When they finished, it was already noon.
It's lunch time.
Steven took Reva back on the rickshaw.
"Racid ?" ask Steven.
Reva.
Eyes sparkling.
He was happy to look around this city.
Steven took her to the old hutong-hutong.
Steven looked at Reva's face that was shining with pleasure, his heart was bursting, feeling happy.
Finally he could make Reva smile and laugh off again with him.
All this time since they broke up, never once did Reva laugh so loosely with him.
Reva smiles.
Reva also laughed.
But everything is awake in a pack of politeness.
Reva can't get away like she used to.
"Thank you Steve" said Reva.
Steven clapped Reva's hand.
"We're not done yet" he said.
"Oh...
where are you going ?"
"We eat first.."
"okay."
They arrived at another hutong.
Stop at one restaurant that looks old but crowded with customers.
"Steve's.."
Reva hesitates.
Steven looked at me with a smile.
"Don't worry, you can eat here."
"Oh .okay..."
Reva's smile seemed relieved.
Then they come in.
"What to eat, honey ?" ask Steven in English.
Reva was stunned to hear it.
"Steve !
Don't call me like that !" said.
Steven just smiled.
"Why?
I love you so much !" said again.
"Steve !
We have nothing to do anymore !"
"That's what you think, Va !" rebut Steven kalem.
Reva standing.
"I'm going to go !" said threat.
Hand withdrawn.
"Sit !" steven's orders.
Reva.
Steven's not flinching.
His hand was getting stronger gripping Reva's wrist.
"Sit I said !" hiss Steven.
His voice was no longer soft.
"Steve !!"
Steven is standing.
"I don't hesitate to make a fuss here if you don't sit down, Va !" said.
Reva.
He looked at Steven's face which exuded determination.
Reva.
He sat back down.
"Eat what ?" reset Steven.
Reva with a frown took the menu list.
"I want a sweet sour chicken" he said.
"Hmm.ok.
Drink ?"
"Milk tea."
Steven called the waiter.
They order food.
Steven himself ordered a beer to warm himself up.
Restaurant full.
"Excuse me...
Can I join ?
All tables full.
You're just two of you, right ?" ask one voice.
Steven and Reva raised their faces.
"Steven ?" ask a beautiful girl who was standing next to the questioner earlier.
"Fen ?" Steven asked back.
"Aaaa..this is really Steven right ?" Fen laughed happily.
Steven laughed.
He stands.
Fen did not hesitate to hug Steven in the crowd of restaurants.
He also kissed Steven's cheek.
Then...
Cup.
Fen kissed Steven's lips.
Steven was shocked and then backed off.
"Fen !!"
Fen just laughed.
His hands were still hugging Steven's body.
"You know, I miss you !!" he said with a sad face mixed with joy.
Steven tried to let go of Fen's embrace while glancing at Reva.
Reva herself was also staring at him.
Not just Reva.
Everyone standing around their table looked at Steven and Fen.
"Fen !!
Don't so..
Shame !!" steven said sharply.
Fen pouting.
"You're my boyfriend..
It's only natural that we make out."
"Fen !!"
Fen sitting.
Then look back at Steven who was still standing.
"Who is he ?" point it at Reva.
Steven sat.
"My wife" she said.
"Steve !!" Reva.
"What ?!" Fens.
Fen then glared at Reva.
"You ?!"
His eyes looked down upon.
Then I looked back at Steven.
"You must be kidding !!" snapped it.
Steven did not answer.
"You ...
As long as you know.you will not be able to leave alive from here if you dare to tease my girlfriend !!" threaten her.
Reva didn't answer.
He just raised his eyebrows.
He did not consider this girl a threat.
"Fen !.Don't fuck around" said Steven flat.
Fen stared at him fiercely.
Waiter approaching.
"What message do you want ?" tanyakanya.
Fen and his three friends were busy scanning the menu.
"When are you here ?" fen asked finally after the waiter left.
"Four days ago." replied Steven calmly.
"Miscloud ?"
Steven's eyes are shining.
"You know him and my family" he replied.
"Steven !!" sniff two girls.
Steven kept his face flat.
"Lho is really !" said relax.
"Steve.don't fuck around !" hiss Reva.
Steven could not help his laughter.
"I really want to take you.
I told you that." said Steven glancing at Reva.
"But, Steve..."
"You don't have to worry."
"Not a problem of worry.
Steve !!
I want to marry Sandy !" reva blatantly said.
He did not want to give Steven false hope.
"Yes if you can .." replied Steven lightly.
"Steve !!"
Fen and his friends watched the two of them.
Fen's forehead is wrinkled. He doesn't understand.
Steven and Reva speak in English.
He looked at the affectionate gaze that Steven had aimed at this foreign girl.
And Fen doesn't like it.
Reva cast her eyes on Fen.
They meet view.
Then they both looked away.
Both are jealous of each other.
Steven glanced at Reva silently.
Reva's face darkened.
Lips forward.
He didn't want to look at Steven.
Steven smiled a little.
So then.. Reva jealous.
Want to marry ?
Who's married ?
Steven chuckled in his heart.
You really can't let go of your feelings just like me, right, Va ? steven in the heart.
Steven and Reva's food came.
"We ate first." said Steven.
Reva just shut up. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Steven put a piece of meat in Reva's bowl.
Reva remains silent, but eats the meat Steven gave her and continues to eat her ordered chicken.
Fen watched them both.
Eyebrows wrinkling.
Reva showed no signs of being friendly to Steven.
Just Steven.
"You're going to Aunty's house ?" ask Fen.
"Yes" replied Steven briefly.
He put the mushrooms and meat back in Reva's bowl.
Reva raised her head.
His eyes swept across Steven's face staring at him then glanced at Fen.
"You don't have to give meat to me anymore.
Shame on your boyfriend." hissed Reva to Steven.
Steven laughs.
This girl is so funny.
Since the morning is always busy reminding her that she's a fiancee of people but seeing another girl claim to be her boyfriend, she gets instantly angry.
"I love meat to you, it has nothing to do with him, right ?" answer Steven.
"Don't make people jealous for reasons that don't exist !" said Reva.
"Ah."
"Steve !"
Steven did not reply because at that time the waiter delivered the order to Fen and his friends.
"Steve..eat.." invite Fen.
"Eat aja..
I'll go first." Steven replied casually.
He drank his beer.
Reva gave him a quick look.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to dabok just because of the beer" Steven said catching Reva's glance.
Reva nodded.
It's up to Steven what to drink.
It's none of her business, is it ?
He and Steven are not...
Reva.
Fen heard the conversation.
"You...dare to forbid Steven to drink ?" he said he didn't like it.
Reva flicked her shoulders, but remained silent.
He's lazy to serve Fen.
"Heh ?!
If asked, answer me !!" snapped Fen.
Steven and Fen's friends were shocked.
One of Fen's friends nudged Fen.
"Don't make a fuss here, Fen" Steven said.
Reva.
"I'm not forbidden.
When have you ever heard I forbid him.Submit he wants to drink anything !
I don't care !
You're the one who told me to be his girlfriend should know !" reva replied in a lazy voice.
Fen was getting emotional hearing it.
Reva finished her meal.
After that he put down his chopsticks.
"I'm done.
If you still want to walk again, come on.
If you still want to talk to him, I go back to the hotel first" he said.
"Drink first, Va." said Steven.
Steven looked at Fen.
"You eat here.
Close to your college ?"
Fen berdehem's.
He's happy Steven's got him chatting.
"It just so happens.
I think we have telepathy.
How can we meet here." replied Fen while glancing at Reva for a moment.
Steven also glanced at Reva.
"Yes, maybe our hearts are connected, yes." he replied smiling as he glanced at Reva.
Reva's face darkened.
"That means we're a soul mate, Steve.
When did you propose to me ?" fen said blatantly.
Steven laughs.
"You learn the pinter first !" he ruffled Fen's hair.
"Who is he ?" ask Fen, get bolder.
"And I told you..
My future wife." replied Steven.
Reva heard Steven's words.
"Steve's...
I went back to the hotel.
You talk." he said standing up.
Steven quickly caught Reva's wrist.
"Sit down" he said short.
Reva moved a hand about to release from Steven's grip.
"I said sit down, Va !" said Steven.
"I don't want to bother you" Reva insisted.
Steven jerked Reva's hand.
Reva.
Everything at the table was paying attention, including Fen.
Steven's face changed.
Reva is the same.
What the fuck Steven ?!
It's clear she's not Steven's future wife, why she still confesses to me in front of other people.
Deep in the deepest corner of his heart, Reva felt warm hearing it.
But it hurts at once.
So hurt.
