Marrying a Classmate
Ch. 13: About Space

A pair of Space eyes widened to hear Myria's reply. He who was originally the backrest immediately sat up straight and leaned slightly on his wife. The white-shirted guy asked again, “Seriously Mama told you that?”

Myria nodded. “Two rius.”  It was not the time to joke around, but Myria replied casually without any burden. It was very different with her husband.

The space folds its legs and sits cross-legged, then pulls the bolster into the deck. “Keep what decision lo?”

Myria shook her head. “Not knowing. I said to Mommy if you want to ask for your approval first.”

“Oh.” Mangosteen space. Like a grown man, the young man rubbed his chin while thinking. Myria in front of him felt funny seeing the change.

People say, the character of the couple will look its original form after marriage. It seemed that it was indeed experienced by Myria this time around. The round-eyed girl can now freely see the attitude of Angkasa which is rarely shown in school.

“It's not necessary, My. Tomorrow or when if Mama nanya, just answer I will not say anything lo. Also yesterday I told you, Mama does not believe in me.”

Myria could no longer help but laugh. The girl sniggered while closing her mouth. Space immediately looked at him and said, “Why are you laughing? Something funny from me?”

“Iya. You turned out to be different personalities when at home.”

The tongue of the sky clucked. He gradually pulled his body back, then pulled a glass of water from the nightstand to drink. “Gue to get off. What do you want to take?”

“Neg. I want to sleep.”

“Oh. Okay.”

The son of the Sastra family came out and closed the door. He left Myria alone in a spacious room. His wife got off the bed, then walked to the study table.

All the books are neatly arranged on the shelves, some stationery and one laptop is located on the desk with a study lamp. Those things caught Myria's attention. However, of all the items, Myria is more interested in one picture frame containing Angkasa images and one guy. He pulled the chair, then took the frame. “Fins. Is he Space's brother?”

“Iya. That's my brother.”

The sound from behind made Myria immediately turn the study chair. He saw Angkasa coming over with two cups of ice cream in hand. “Nih, open by yourself.”

The frame was returned to the table, one hand Myria received the ice cream, although she did not understand why her husband ate the food at night.

“That's a photo of me at Junior High with my sister, but she's dead.”

“Hah?” Myria shut her mouth in shock. The ice cream in his hand fortunately did not fall to the floor and was still held by one other hand.

“She died two years ago.” Space continues to speak. “Yes, we are first grade early in high school.”

“Me–died because of what?” Myria asked cautiously. He was worried that the question was offensive to Space let alone to the point of making it sad.

“Aircraft accidents. At that time my brother wanted to come back here, he studied abroad only got three semesters. But, God's destiny is different again with the hope of family.”

Myria looked on pity at Space. He forgot to open the ice cream that had been in his hands since he was focused on listening. In fact, Angkasa said it was so strong and seemed okay. However, it was Myria who was sad. Not just a reason of pity, but Myria knows what it's like to lose a family forever.

“Kasa.”

“Gue story, really, you even cry, My?” Space immediately put ice cream on the table. The man knelt in front of his wife out of worry.

Getting such treatment from Space, Myria increasingly sobbing. His two eyes did not stop spitting out water. In fact, there was nothing wrong with her husband's words, but the girl's heart still hurt. The wound in his mind had not dried up let alone the memories in his head, it might never be erased.

“Sorry, My. I forgot that lo ...” Space cannot continue the sentence. He swallowed back all the vocabulary at the tip of his tongue. The man raised his hand and slowly tried to hold Myria's hand. “Gu–gue ..” Suddenly Space was nervous. There was something wrong with the pounding in his heart this time. “Gue just wanted to share your story, My. Not the intent of ingetin lo the same incident a few weeks ago.”

Myria fell silent, but tried to calm her shaken soul again. He tried to draw a smile line on his lips so as not to bother. “It's not your fault, really. I'm the one who still often sings Mother.”

“If you're calm, eat that ice cream. Hunt melts later.”

Myria laughed once. He nodded and twisted his body a little. “Why bring me ice cream?”

“Gue likes to snack on ice cream anytime.”

Adding to the uniqueness of the newly known Space Myria. The girl refused to believe it, but it was so. “You have many surprises, yes?”

One of Angkasa's eyebrows raised, while the hands were busy returning to feed the ice cream. He stood up so as not to tingle.

“Moreover your hidden habits?”

“Gue?”

Myria nodded.

“Gue also likes cats. I like motoring, I like basketball, same ...”

“What's the same?”

“Like lo.”

Myria immediately lowered her head. He deliberately avoided the gaze of Space so as not to be caught blushing. In fact, the hand holding the small spoon in the ice cream cup was circling non-stop to unravel the awkwardness.

“Lo never dated, huh, My?”

Myria's face was raised. She shook her head.

“Keliatan. Polos bener lo's. But not pa-pa, I like the plain-plain.”

“Kasa!”

“Well, this, nih. I prefer it again if you see you get angry after gini.”

“Angkasa!”

The sky laughed with satisfaction. He retreated and sat down on the sofa as it was aching standing up earlier. The guy grabbed the remote, then turned on the television. “Tomorrow holidays, tonight want to watch?”

“No, I want to sleep,” Myria said as she got up from the chair and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

The space is neglected, but the guy is not too dizzy. He continues to enjoy television broadcasts and is looking for good movies to watch.

The curfew kept crawling up. Myria had fallen asleep earlier, while Angkasa was watching the movie alone. Wrap the snacks scattered on the floor because the guy's mouth can't stand still and continues to chew incessantly. “Cepet totally exhausted,” Angkasa murmur when the third potato chips wrap has been empty. Inevitably, he had to come down and take it back.

However, not yet reached the door, Angkasa's attention was seized by Myria's condition. His new wife looked agitated and muttered fretfully.

Space approaching. He threw away his floor slippers and crawled up. “My, you don't pa-pa?”

“Bu ..” Myria was delirious with a raucous voice. “Mother.”

Space indicates an intention to descend. He tried to wake up Myria first. But the woman was not aware. Suddenly an idea appeared in the head of Space. She pulled over and pulled Myria into the embrace. Angkasa hoped that his embrace could calm Myria down without waking her up.

“Let's watch if he gets angry tomorrow. I stayed clear. Beres!”
