The Macau Love Story
Pandu = Pipo

Mas Pandu grabbed my hand, then led me to stand before him. The level of our eyes were almost the same, making me not have to look up, because he was still sitting on the edge of the table.

"If it's me, then why?" ask Pandu with full focus on me. Hand mas Pandu moving led my hand to circle around his waist.

The distance of our faces is getting eroded, making me uncomfortable with positions like this. Moreover, slowly the hand mas Pandu pressed the back of my back to be more docked to him. Gurgling my own saliva I found it difficult, and my heart really could not compromise.

Mas Pandu raised one eyebrow when I just kept quiet while locking his net.

"Now" said mas Pandu as we were entangled in silence for a few seconds. "Don't ask me why I married you so suddenly, don't ask me why I love you so much"

"Why?" I try to kink.

"I'm not a lecherous man who uses you to meet my biological needs, I never intended to just make you my bedmate, not to satisfy my desires and throw you away if I got bored. Like your prejudices all along"

I don't know, maybe if my heart is man-made, I can make sure it has exploded from earlier.

"I loved you long ago Nay, even my love for you was greater than my love for myself. You should know that! Don't ever ask me again why I married you, because my answer will remain the same. Wo ai ni, na shi, xianzai he yongyuan"

I love you, then, now and forever, that's what I know what mas Pandu means in his mandarin.

"I'll take your place to take care of you"

And just then, a drop of dew from my eyelids slid.

"You have no reason to drip this anymore" added mas Pandu while rubbing my wet cheek.

"If you still don't believe, you must remember my struggle to come to Jogja to make an offer with your help, you must remember that I dare to buy you even though your value is equivalent to all the property I have, you must remember, you must remember that I immediately want to marry you without putting it off again"

My mouth was really locked very tightly, even to let out a single word my tongue was confused.

"You should be happy Nay"

And I couldn't bear to not hug her anymore.

I hugged her tight, took a sip of the sweet scent in her pajamas, and I made sure this very second, I had to look after her whenever, because I believed, there was still love that never hurt.

My woman, despite her age is much younger than me, but her words are like a mature woman that makes me want to always listen to her babble.

The past has been revealed, my little girl is back, and the man she is waiting for is hugging her at the moment. I will let him hold me until satisfied, complete his longing that is not less great with my miss. The longing that we have kept together for many years. I'm not gonna let him disappear from my life for the second time.

Nayla's hug on my waist tightened as I made a little movement just to get up from my position sitting on the edge of the table. A hug that passed for a few minutes, until the cold was no longer felt.

"Why did you keep it a secret and not tell the truth from the beginning?" ask her with a muffled voice.

"Because I want you to know for yourself without me telling you"

"But why?" he asked again, this time his head looked up and then stuck his chin on my chest.

"Because I'm not sure you love me either"

"But I've told you that I'm still waiting for Pipo, why didn't I say it at the time?"

"I'm confused about where to say, afraid you don't believe me if I say that I'm Pipo, the owner of your handkerchief, you know I don't have any proof" I said gently, wiping her hair down.

"Don't walk away from me again" he said.

A second later, we just quietly locked each other's eyes. I kissed her lips lightning, then I kissed again those lips that felt so chewy and soft. Just a kiss, but instead Nayla welcomed my kiss by touching my lips, seconds passed, I took off the link of our lips although honestly still want to touch her lips more deeply.

"You know for yourself" I said as I took off our kisses. "i've never messed with my words, so you have to trust me completely"

Although our eyebrows were still stuck together, I could feel the nod of his head. He looked at me with disordered breath from our hot kiss just now.

"We're sleeping now?" I said let go of the silence.

Nayla nodded. And I turned away my laptop that I haven't had time to shut down. After that, I lifted her up, took her to our bed, but I had no intention of messing around tonight, because I knew she was very tired.

"When did you meet Delita to apologize?" nayla asked as we were lying down and hugging each other.

"Do you want to come with me to see him?"

"If you allow it?"

"Of course" I answered quickly. "I don't want to see him alone"

"Are you scared of slapping Delita?"

"That's not what I'm afraid of, but Alvin's look. I'm sure he doesn't like it when I see Delita"

"She's changed a little now"

"Here it is dear, do not discuss it, it is better to sleep now. Tomorrow we PT"

"PT PT?"repeated Nayla slightly distanced her body then looked at me complete with sharp nosediving eyebrows. "What's that?"

"Festivities?"

"Festivities?"

"Yes, we're eating tomorrow"

"There's definitely an event tomorrow" he asked curiously.

"The way to welcome your return to Macau.we eat dessert until we are satisfied"

Seconds I immediately got a pinch on my waist.

"I'm serious Nay, it's just the two of us, so we can focus"

The second time I got a pinch in the same place.

"I love you Nay" I said, tightening our arms.

"I love you too, mas"

"Ok now we sleep, tomorrow we eat dessert together"

"Mas ihh" he exclaimed and then bit my chest softly.

Tonight is a night I never stop being grateful for.
