"Well, welcome son and daughter-in-law. Come on, come on in" said my mother-in-law, welcoming us in front of the entrance.
"Elena, Erica, your brother and sister came here" he shouted from the door.
I smiled shyly and gave my greetings through a kiss on the back of the middle-aged woman's hand. She looks so beautiful at her age now. How can't the seed be as good as the man standing beside me. She smiled very sweetly, when giving greetings to her mother.
"Hallo, Brother Arun," said another.
I turned to look and found a girl who was no less beautiful than mama-in-law.
"Gosh ... you—?"
"Kiana. Elena Kiana's. You still remember me, don't you?"
He made my mouth open for a moment. And I who was confused, pointed towards Elena and Mas Adikara in turn. The smile that had been adorned on her sweet lips, now disappeared instantly.
"Come, come in first" Elena pulled my wrist, and led in.
"Take your things straight to the bottom room, Di." I heard the second conversation from my position.
"Why is the world so narrow, anyway? You're really my husband's sister?"
Elena nodded her head. "True, Brother. We're brother and sister and we're in law." She laughs.
"Hallo, Brother Arun," said another from before me.
I was really shocked, after arriving at this house. The truth of fainting feels.
"That?"
"Erica, Brother. We're twins" the girl who had a slim and tall posture like a girl band from the ginseng country was approaching towards me. Long-haired blonde, very charming to the eye. Elena had long hair and was black.
The two now took turns hugging and introducing themselves to me.
"Ain' a daze, brother? I work as a graphic disign. If Elena ... You know who he is, right?" he asked, pointing at Elena.
I nodded resignedly. "Accounting staff of SO Corp."
"That's true. He's the one who likes to be chatty with his team, right?"
"Well, your sister, sit down first, son," said my mother-in-law, then into the house.
I am really very happy to be welcomed at Mas Adikara's house. I saw Mas Adikara passing by me and hugging his two younger siblings now. And after that, he walked in with our suitcase.
"Finally, yes, Bang Adikara can mepet Kak Arun and become a real wife. It feels like what it is," Elena replied in a large voice. I don't know if Mas Adikara with anything.
"Yes, because her late mother Kak Arun also, anyway," continued Erica lirih.
They both sat right next to me.
"meaning?" many confused.
"No sister has a story to Brother?"
"Don't dirty his mind, Ca." Mas Adikara came and joined us.
I saw Erica give it. "What's dirty? You still crave everything yourself?"
"No need to know," she replied briefly.
"You guys are arguing in front of Arun. He must be confused you guys are talking about Adikara." My mother-in-law is now participating in the pulpit by carrying a tray followed by workers in their home carrying trays containing drinks.
"Yes, ma. Bang Adikara sok jaim aja in front of Kak Arun. Where did he go back to Elena."
Kulirik Mas Adikara who was sharpening his gaze towards the two.
"Already, don't connect. You guys make Abang shy," said Mama sitting near Mas Adikara. "Drink, son Arun."
"Egh, yes, Ma. Thank you," I said now taking a drink and my eyes even itchy to see Mas Adikara. Apparently, he looked at me first. He almost choked up because his gaze was terrible.
"Papa's coming home soon. You guys clean up after the conversation, yeah. We'll have dinner together before you go back to Jakarta." Mama-in-law turned to Mas Adikara. "You want to take Arun to live in your own apartment or house, Bang?"
"To my brother's house, Ma."
"Is there something you want to ask?" ask Mas Adikara to me.
My eyeballs go around. How could he know the intent in my head.
"Agh, there's, anyway. About ... Elena and Erica are his younger siblings, Mas. Where are they at our wedding? Not seen."
The twin sisters smiled and looked at each other.
"There's dong. We're watching the party outside. After the party is over, we go home immediately because we want to make a surprise for you, brother. It's just—" Elena replied hanging up her words.
"Not to be discussed anymore." Mas Adikara.
"Yes, really. The important thing is that Arun and Adikara complement each other now. Like the intentions of Arun's mother. For Arun, you must be patient with his attitude, their brother. He is firm if he does not know closely. But, actually, Adikara is very affectionate."
"Yes, Brother. Bang Adikara is good actually. Although, like to talk and rather chatty," Erica chirps chimed.
If anyone asks me how can I tell these two apart before. I know a different hair color.
I smiled as I said, "yes, Ma. Arun knows about that," I said.
"Cieeeee. Yeah, you know where the real black riding prince is."
I was teased by Elena. Really embarrassed. But, Mas Adikara used to respond 'cie-cie' his sister. He was not affected at all.
"Judek. Before papa gets home, Arun and Adikara clean up first. Actually ... Mama wants you to sleep in Adikara's room. But since Adikara's room is on the top floor, pity her Arun. You're in the guest room downstairs, yeah. It's okay, isn't it, Run?" asked my mother-in-law very gently.
"Yes, Mom, it's okay."
"Come on."
Mas Adikara stood up first and invited me to leave the room where we were chatting.
"Bring first."
After arriving at a spacious room, Mas Adikara went straight to the bed and lay on it.
"Mas," call me as I approach her.
"Heeemmm?"
"Whose real mom, anyway?"
"meaning?"
"Well, I was curious about the twins' words. I actually knew him first, right?" I sat on the edge of the bed right next to him. Stupid is just as ashamed. I was really curious about my husband's family.
"You really don't know at all?" ask her while pulling herself up to sit down.
Our distance is now very close. The smell of her perfume gushed into my smell. The eyeballs were completely reluctant to break eye contact between us. Feeling the same look Oppa Kim Woo Bin, it feels like my face is burning and turning red.
I first cut off eye contact, before fainting beside him and shaking my head. "Don't know. I don't know you at all. Only his sister Mas—Elena I know because we work in one company. So who is the real Mas?"
"Secret admirer."
"What?"
As fast as lightning this face was pointing at him until an unexpected touch occurred between us. Whether intentionally or not, I felt that the face of Mas Adikara moved until our lips met.
Instantly both of my eyes closed, feeling the warmth of his lips that began to move. The blood flow in my body rippled violently accompanying the first touch that occurred between us. Unfortunately, the sweat was on my forehead and this body seemed to be locked by it.
Slowly I felt the warmth and breath from Mas Adikara's nose began to fade.
"I'm your secret admirer. Thank you for being my wife. I took a shower first" he said, then got up from the bed and disappeared behind the bathroom.
I took out the breath I held for a few seconds. Touching my turbulent chest with a heartbeat spurred very fast from its normal. What feelings I now feel. Mas Adikara really makes me feel numb.
"Is that really Mas Adikara?"
...Seriate....
