God opened his eyes. Apparently he fell asleep right on the side of Mala which is still closed. The clock shows at 22:00 Korean time. Mala's parents don't seem to be home yet. The god immediately woke up, before he did not forget to kiss Mala's forehead gently.
It's impossible to sleep together. God came out of Mala's room. His eyes were so fresh, he was no longer sleepy. While circulating the view to every corner of Mala's house. He chose to go to the terrace to feel the cold night air in Seoul.
Why until now God is still thinking about his former lover, Alyra. Still surprised, unexpected and wondering.
"Why is he in Korea? Moving from Jakarta?" he murmured while thinking. "What if he told Mala about what he used to be." Suddenly the gods were worried.
Even so he was sure Mala would not misunderstand. But it was only part of his past. Like it or not, everyone has a past. Whether it's the past, good or bad. The point is that it is just a history in the life of the Gods.
Being bored. God chose to listen to the song from his cell phone. A Korean song was heard in his ears. Since when did he keep a song like that on his phone? This must be Mala. The girl must have included these mellow songs in her music list.
The little smiling god. "Mala."
Thinking of the girl would only make the Gods continue to smile alone. Mala who brought him back hugging love. Previously, the gods felt that love was just a lie. There is no love. Dating is just a status. Just like he felt when he was with Alyra first. When his heart gives a sincere love. Apparently the reply was not the same for him. Lyra tricked him.
All because of Mala. God feels the sincerity of a lonely little girl. The girl who recently lost her sister who died of an illness. Mala who was moody, turned into cheerful when she knew him. Although at first God feels Mala is a girl who bullies, but in fact it is the girl who managed to make her heart feel love again.
Next day.
"Sister God!" decak Mala who was shocked when she saw God was not at her side. As he remembered, last night God slept beside him. Where is the god now?
Mala got up from her room.
"Morning," said the god who had just knocked on Mala's bedroom door. But the girl had already walked out of her room with a gawking face looking at the God in front of her.
"Sister! Kirain Brother where!" Mala poked her lips while stroking her chest. "Then find Brother."
Gods chuckling. "Sister just wanted to wake you up. Uh, you woke up first. Breakfast yuk!"
"Mala hasn't had a bath yet" Mala replied, shaking her head. "Wake it first, not for long."
Brug
Mala's voice closed the door of her room quickly. The god shook his head while scratching next to his eyebrows. "Mala Mala."
In the dining room, Mala's parents were already waiting for Mala to come down.
"Why not go down, Wa? Is he still sick?"
"Mala take a shower, she said, Tan."
"Ah, Auntie thinks Mala is still sick. Sorry, my aunt did not wake you up in Mala's room. Aunty does not have to wake you and Mala pules really," said Delia.
The god choked on the coffee that he had just sipped a little from his cup.
"Slow down, Wa." Mala's father gave the tissue to the God while chuckling softly. "It's okay, we know you take care of Mala."
God really doesn't know that Mala's parents came home last night. Even when he came out of Mala's room, the condition of the house was very quiet. Indeed, God did not pay attention to the car parked in the garage. At that time God was very embarrassed because he was caught sleeping with Mala. If only Maxime who caught him must have his daddy had scolded him all out.
"Sorry Aunt, Om. Last night at 22:00 the God woke up out of Mala's room. Actually last night was sleeping, not on purpose. The gods do not know that Aunt and Om have come home," explained God to both parents Mala.
Delia and Mahendra nodded together. "We know, we don't have a problem either. Aunty and Om have a lot of faith in you, Wa," said Mahendra, Mala's father.
The god sipped his coffee again. Mala finally came down and greeted everyone at the dinner table.
"Morning All." Mala gave a smile and immediately sat down beside the God. His heart was very flowering at this moment. Being next to the Gods for breakfast together. It felt like her dream had come true. Of course since he was in Korea, it turned into a dream. Not like when Mala was still neighbors with Dewa in Bandung.
"Morning." Delia and Mahendra were happy to see her daughter cheerful again. The big smile that they missed so much, the daughter was later just kept moody and not excited at all.
"Morning, Mala." The god smiled and handed Mala a glass of warm milk.
"Drink" the Lord said. Mala took the glass and drank it straight away.
"Favor, Brother."
Gods nodded. "Do you want a sandwich or sausage?"
"What," replied Mala.
The god took the sandwich and gave it to Mala. The girl immediately ate the God-given sandwich.
Mala's parents felt a very significant difference when Mala was next to the Gods. His daughter was very obedient to what God said. What if the two are separated later?
"Yes Dear. Mother was very happy to see it. Mala wants to eat, Mala wants to smile cheerfully again. Mother cannot separate you later. You see Wa, then you really need you" Delia said.
"Yes. But Max doesn't agree that we're marrying Mala to God anytime soon, Bun," Mahendra said.
"What?" it shocked Mala to the point that she coughed. The god took a glass of water and gave it to Mala. "Slowly."
Mala gulped down the water in the glass. "Dad said you want to marry Mala and Kak Dewa?"
God was about to drink coffee in his glass, but it turned out that the glass was empty. He did not drink it, only seeing Mala who was shocked.
"Yes. But Maxime did not allow it" Mahendra replied.
"You're surprised by that." Mother Mala took a tissue and wiped her daughter's mouth. "That's dad's plan. But not approved by Maxime. He said you were too young" Delia added.
The god smiled as he rubbed the top of Mala's head. "Patience," he said.
Mala took a long breath. Had Maxime agreed, it would have been great if they got married soon.
"Yes. Mala is already happy. Getting married does not have to wait old" said Mala plain.
The god chuckled while pinching Mala's cheek. So did Mahendra and Delia who laughed at Mala's words.
"Daddy wants you to go to college until you graduate" explained God.
"Married to go to college again, no problem right?" mala Sahut.
Delia and Mahendra thought so too. But what can I do. Mala's parents have great respect for Maxime's opinion. Among them Maxime is the most experienced and also very mature in making a decision.
"Daddy must have had more consideration. You don't think about that, after all Brother is still here right? Don't be sad, you have to be excited." The god rubbed Mala's back. The girl nodded slowly.
While in Korea, the gods will accompany Mala. Make sure until Maka is completely healed and already feels better to be temporarily abandoned by the Gods. At least one week before God finally had to return to Indonesia.
****
It has been a week since God was in Korea accompanying Mala until the girl was completely healed. Mala's days are back. The existence of Gods greatly affected that. And time goes by too fast. The gods today must return to Indonesia.
"Honey. Are you sad anyway?" said Dewa while peeping the back of Mala's hand.
"I don't want to go to Indo!" firmly Mala with a trembling voice. A little more Mala will definitely cry.
"Darling, look at Brother. You promise not to be sad? Once every three months, Brother will look at you. Even your semester vacation can also go to Indonesia, right?"
Mala turned her face and took off the hand of God.
"Mala does not want to. It was too long," he said.
Of course, it is the same felt by the gods. But this is a process that both must go through. Mala and the Gods could not resist it.
"Propsy. It's a process. You can do it, brother sure. It's also hard for my brother. But Brother has to do it. For you too, for us."
Mala cried, then she hugged the body of the God very tightly. The god returned the embrace.
"All is well."
The god patted Mala's back gently. "All is well. Don't be sad, yeah" he said.
Mala nodded. "Mala'll miss Big Brother's hug."
"Next Brother will hug Mala continuously if we meet. Brother's promise."
Mala nodded again. "Mala'll miss Big Brother's kiss."
The god took off his embrace. Then both of his palms flanked Mala's cheeks. He pecked his forehead, nose, as well as Mala's two cheeks gently.
"Silver will love more kisses later," he asserted with one glance on Mala's lips.
It makes Mala nervous. He immediately pulled the body of the God and kissed the lips of the God in front of the people in the airport. Gods surprised.
"Mala dear Brother."
