The Romance After Marriage
3.7 | Become Antagonist

Delvin -

My trip to the house that befriended this traffic jam seemed different when I got a phone call from him.

Even though the entire phone was just the sound of crying and the sedu sedu sedu only heard without frills of conversation, somehow I felt calm.

I know, I'm kind of like being an antagonist in a position like this. Feeling happy on top of other sadness. I know, I'm selfish. But if my selfishness is for the good of someone important to me... Can I still be said to be the antagonist??

I then frowned when the sedu sedu sound instead changed with regular breathing. I still kept it quiet, afraid that if I spoke I would disturb him. But strangely, the longer I kept quiet, the sound of his breathing even louder, then not how long it turned into a fine snoring.

Of course, I who listened clearly to the snoring voice immediately laughed. My laughter instantly broke the silence that was unfolding in this car after two hours had passed.

"About Rough!" I snorted amusedly once again.

"Why the hell, if you're not sleepy to say it?" I started talking to myself.

I smiled when I saw the digital clock on the Head Unit screen. "Hey, Approximately... You must be a saucer, right, has it been crying for two hours?! I just want to get home, you just slept! You really are the best!!" Then I broke up.

Still with a small laugh, I turned the steering wheel to the left. Finally, I got home after almost three hours on the road!

Akh, come to think of it, three hours is long too huh... If Kyra hadn't called me earlier I would have died of boredom!

I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I could see the high gate towering with that black paint. Finally, I really got home too!

This tired feeling required me to immediately open the fence itself and park my car in the garage.

Then, without wanting to linger outside the house again, I immediately entered the house with big steps. Can't wait to say hello to my bed...

The atmosphere of this house is already very quiet especially my mother said today will be overtime in her office. And then my brother, Dion? Ah, if he was, if he wasn't in his room, he would have stayed at his friend's house. Yeah, why worry about him, after all that boy is too old to be noticed again!

"Mas Delvin?"

Oh, that's the voice of our new housekeeper, her name is Ms. Rum. Who just happened to work for less than a month.

"Just come home?"

I nodded, smiling a little. Henceforth. Well, I do this, less can be so friendly especially with new people.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Udah is." My answer. "Dion hasn't come home yet, Ma'am?"

Rum nodded without hesitation. But, right, my guess. That boy!!

"Where are you, Mas, Mas Dion? Usually go home late afternoon,"

I smiled, implying that Mbak Rum did not have to waste his worries on that one boy. Too free!

"It's easy, Ma'am, before Mrs Rum here, Dion was used to it... So no need to worry too much about her, let alone her big son."

"Let's go, I see, Mas..." I'm nodding. And after that, Ms. Rum was saying goodbye from before me after previously telling about the food at the dinner table just in case I changed my mind and wanted to eat suddenly.

Well, even though I'm still awkward and feel uncomfortable interacting with Mbak Rum, but I think Rum is a good guy and a hard worker. That's why I'm sure, gradually I will be able to eliminate this awkwardness of mine. Yeah, I hope so!

I'm sure I said earlier that I was tired and wanted to rest.

However, after cleaning my body, changing my clothes and laying down on my bed. Somehow the story is tired and my drowsiness immediately disappeared without rest.

It's strange!

I even pretended to close my eyes, but why did the subconscious never come. So that I just keep ending up with eyes that just keep opening perfectly.

I grunt. I can't wait, I finally decided to get wind!

Without hesitation, I opened the door to the balcony of my room. A breeze of night that felt even colder immediately greeted. Curious, I glanced at the clock on the phone. I laughed gruntingly, no wonder, as it turned out to be 02:00 in the morning. I let out a long sigh. Then unconsciously my eyes looked at the balcony to my right.

Without me noticing, I had already smiled to myself looking at the door of his room that had been sealed shut. "A good sleep... See you in our new days, both of us,"

"Gue know, it's kind of hard for you. But if I don't feel that same way you feel for Ezra... In the future, the two of us will definitely only hurt each other." I'm lirih.

Taking the initiative as a sudden antagonist actually made me uncomfortable, really...

"By our covenant and our more colorful future... Please forgive me, Ra..." I'm still fumbling myself. Though only the whimper of the wind is now my opponent.

"I promise in the future. I will try hard to make you happy no matter how." I smiled, especially when I remembered what he said on the phone earlier, about his promise to try to be the best for me.

"Gue know, your feelings won't change instantly. But since you promised, I'm sure, you'll definitely keep it." I smiled brightly.

"Good sleep... May you not dream of Ezra again, and hopefully starting tonight will always pepper me in your dreams." I said that then made me grunt amusedly alone.

Well, I think I'm starting to get the crazy virus Kyra always talks alone on the balcony. Haha.

"Din, din!"

The look in my eyes shimmered immediately towards the direction where the sound was coming from. His headlamp lit up followed by the sound of a smooth-sounding engine roar in the ears.

I frowned for a moment, staring at the noise down there in the middle of the night. In his shadow, I knew Ezra was there walking out of his house that was burning brightly.

I can think of something he's gonna do. Well, especially if not to meet the filming schedule.

"Is Ezra filming off-island or overseas?" I ask myself.

My eyebrows are linked, my forehead is still wrinkled. Then, when Ezra started riding in his car, and when the yellow Brio was walking slowly I let out a long sigh.

"Beginor?" Suddenly it was just that word that came to my mind.

I laughed sinisterly as I remembered the word coming out of Ezra's lips the other day.

And I still remember clearly, when he said it I was very sure that he was very earnest in front of me. The look on his face, the look on his eyes... It was as if he wanted to deny all my requests to her and prepare to thrust out the "word" that would become his sword.

Really, I didn't expect that when I met Kyra she would deny her own words to me.

"Thank you Zra, because you're willing to give up on me..." I said softly along with the yellow Brio that was missing at the end of the road.

I smiled.
