Money Or Honey
Episode 49: Mutual Cuek

Hiyola was still silent in her place. He chose to lean his head against the side of the car window. No intention to talk. Her face is flat, her eyes are soft.

"I'll take you home" said Jeremy, breaking the disturbing silence.

Hiyola did not answer. He preferred to focus on the crowded streets ahead. Robert's words were still ringing in his head.

"I don't want to go home. Please take me far away," he said.

Jeremy no longer asked. He immediately slammed the steering wheel after making sure the road conditions were safe to turn.

Somewhere else.

"I don't think you want to see me anymore." Kimberly smiled happily as the door of the house opened, and the figure of Roberth stood there. He immediately hugged her.

Robert did not say. He immediately breezed in, and threw his ass over the sofa. A woman came out carrying a snack at a quick pace.

"For a long time no see, Rob!!!" greet her.

Robert threw a forced smile. "How's Aunty Luna doing." she replied.

Luna, the woman Kimberly had considered her mother after her birth mother died, and the father remarried, winking one eye at Kimberly, hinting at something.

"You two first, yeah. Aunty's going out first. There is a show of arisan." he said then passed, not long back out while carrying the bag in hand.

"You have fun, you know," cried Luna who had disappeared from behind the door.

Kimberly sat down next to Robert. He looked at the lover's face that looked tangled.

'Has something happened?' her inner.

Feeling an opportunity, Kimberly began to close her body. "What's up, Honey? You still mad at me?"

Kimberly's hands began to guerrilla all over Robert's body. The man immediately turned around, holding both of Kimberly's shoulders and laying her on the sofa. His body which was above Kimberly, stared intently at the woman's blue netra.

"Satisfy me, Kim!" ketus.

It has been almost a week since the incident at the hotel happened. During that time, Hiyola and Robert were not at all considerate. They are busy with their respective worlds to forget what is happening to them, even the two of them ignore each other. Hiyola almost never saw Robert again, because he always went home late and left early in the morning.

"Thank you for today, Jeremy." said Hiyola.

The sky had darkened when he who was dribbled Jeremy, entered by motorcycle into the area of the two-story house. Working all day actually did not make the girl forget all her sadness.

"Come in" said Jeremy.

All day he accompanied Hiyola, taking her to various places to work. So many and different places, Jeremy was sad to see how the girl worked hard just for a few pieces of money.

"I'm going in. You be careful on the road." said Hiyola, sounding weak.

After Jeremy disappeared. Hiyola hurried to the front door. He pushed slowly on the door, then was startled as the two people in front of him were caught by his eyes.

Hiyola stood for a long time in the doorway until Ami reprimanded her.

"Mrs, why shut up? Come inside."

Hiyola smiled wryly. Kimberly glanced at him at a glance with a livid smile, whereas Roberth, she did not even twitch at all, even responding.

Hiyola breezed in without caring for the two humans who were making out. If Robert wanted to be indifferent, then fine, Hiyola would do the same.

Robert had just turned his head when Hiyola had already climbed upstairs without a sound.

"I've got to get a drink!" roberth. Her voice was slightly faint, making Kimberly surprised, but as much as possible she could smile.

"Master, the dinner is ready" reported Ami.

Robert nodded, he invited Kimberly to eat, but his eyes remained focused on the stairs. Waiting for someone up there to come down.

Ami was about to scoop up rice for Robert, but Kimberly prevented it.

"Let me," he said, taking over the rice pitcher.

Ami looked at the shameless woman with a look of dislike. His arbitrary attitude makes Ami fed up.

The room was filled with the sound of a spoon touching the plate, when Hiyola had just come down. Knee-length pants with T-shirts became his mainstay. He looked at Robert who was devouring his food.

No one ignored Hiyola. Only Ami smiled compassionately at him - offering some side dishes. They ate in an awkward atmosphere, only Kimberly's voice occasionally chirping.

"You want chicken, Honey?" kimberly and Robert nodded.

Every now and then the man glanced at Hiyola, his hands clutching a fork and a powerful spoon, as the girl seemed to be acting ordinary and not ignoring her. Even until Hiyola brought the dishes to the sink, the girl did not speak at all. She washed her hands, then went up to the room.

"It's getting very late, Kim. You go home." said Robert. Although it was a bit heavy, Kimberly nodded in agreement. Today means a lot to him, so he won't make anything strange that disturbs his lover's mood.

After taking Kimberly home, Robert went straight to his room. He paused for a moment to stare at the door of the room beside which the light had not been extinguished. With all the emotions returning, Robert opened the room. Hiyola was working on an assignment from campus, suddenly closed her book with some clothes that she had just folded and was still placed on the table. She did ask Ami not to have to wash her clothes.

They don't talk to each other. Netra Hiyola monitored, following the direction of the motion of Robert who was currently sitting on his bed.

What is this guy doing?

For God's sake right now Hiyola doesn't want to serve Robert. It was enough for him to hold back his annoyance when he had to spend the meal with them at the table just now, only to show that he did not care.

"Didn't you even want to explain what happened at the hotel back then?" roberth finally said.

Hiyola. "really? You want to discuss that now? I'm tired, sir." He closed his eyes tight, trying to hold back the emotions that were already in the crown. He tried hard to forget the incident.

Hearing this, Robert no longer spoke. She should not care about anything Hiyola does behind her, because in fact they are just contract husbands and wives.

Robert sat down, "Well, if your decision is silent!" he stood up, walked towards the door. "Tomorrow, you'll temporarily stay in the apartment. Petra's gonna take you there" said Robert, pulling the door shut.

The owner of the room could only be stunned, everything was too fast that he could not clearly digest the sentence.

While in the next room, Robert who thought would be relieved to say this, in fact could not close his eyes. His body continued to curl until the sun greeted from behind the room curtains.

It's morning.

Robert glanced at the wall clock, time already showing at 7 am when he settles into the precipitate into the next room.

Robert slowly opened the door of Hiyola's room, the intention of wanting to see it for the last time, instead being surprised by the condition of the room that had been empty as if no humans inhabited it.

Robert quickly opened the closet. There is not a single object in there that describes the existence of Hiyola.

"Pregnant...!" roberth shouted down the stairs. He tried to act ordinary.

"Geez!!!" peekik Ami jumped in shock. "Master didn't sleep?" ami asked who saw the black bags under her employer's eyes.

Robert no longer cared about his assistant's response. "You see, Hiyola?" ask Roberts.

Ami shakes. "No sir, maybe in the room." replied Ami.

"Argh..." Robert shakes his hair. "Where are you, stubborn girl?" his grunts while climbing the stairs quickly, ignoring Ami who asked confusedly.
