Ice Cream
romantic words

Abram knew the figure of Isti as a woman who was different from others, he never begged, worked hard and also had a head as hard as a rock, maybe even a stone just lost.

In particular, Abram allowed Isti to stay in his rented house, not having to pay rent or electricity bills, as long as he wanted to admit he was Abram's brother to the neighbors next door.

"Are you sure of this, allowing me to stay without paying, doesn't that cost you anything." Say Isti who does not want to burden others.

But Abram with a firm smile on his face replied ..."I told you, no problem, I'd rather see a little girl hanging out in the streets and volunteering as a comfort woman. It makes me feel guilty."

"But still, I feel bad."

"Don't think too much."

Istian clearly has the personality to live independently, do not depend on others and always be firm in his stance. But life is like a surprise where who would have thought to meet Abram.

One noble person with good intentions gave a place to stay to himself.

"I offered to accompany you to sleep, but you refused. I was wondering if you were the one who 'liked bananas'." Isti said without thinking about Abram's feelings.

Of course Abram was offended, with a shy face he replied...."What do you mean?, you think I'm Ho*mo so."

"Aren't they ?." One strange question was clearly doubting the manhood of an Abram.

"Of course not, I'm also still normal, I still like the big-breasted pretty sister."

"When mine is not very small. But why, even to this day you don't intend to touch me." Sindir Istian glanced flirtatiously.

"Don't look at me with that weird look." Abram turned his face away.

But Isti quite enjoyed the time when flirting with Abram, even though he was much older, his attitude was like a shy teenager near women.

"When you saw me swallow a few times*jang. I'm pretty confident, if I'm pretty, there's no way you're not interested." The more excited Isti teases.

Abram did not dare to look at Isti where he was now unbuttoning the top shirt to show..."Don't talk recklessly, do you know how hard I'm holding back."

"Eh, you're holding back apparently..." Knowing that, Istian seemed unwilling to be polite and began to approach Abram.

But still, Abram did not want to follow his lust even though it was very passionate.

"No, don't do that..." Forced to stay away.

"Why ?."

"I have a lot of respect for you, and I hope you can take care of yourself, don't take it all so easily by giving your body away for free, it's wrong." Abram gave a warning.

The gloomy face of Istian... "But I can't live here while I don't know how to repay your kindness."

Abram realized, if the uncomfortable feeling Istian showed was the principle of his life, so as not to depend on others.

"Then you can work here, cook, do laundry or help with cleaning, think of it as a symbiotic relationship. That way you won't feel guilty." Reply Abram tried to understand Istianti's attitude.

"Can it be like that ?." He hesitated, but he hoped to do so.

"Yes of course."

With Abram's answer that Istian's life is now under the same roof, they begin to understand each other and tell each other about the journey of life so far.

Abram works in Jakarta as a subordinate of a friend named Brahman, they have known each other since childhood.

Only, he was still a nobody, a poor man who needed a job to earn money. Inevitably, working at his friend's place was not a problem either.

*******

Until two years passed, Istian lived with a single man who was 30 years old...

For much of that time they had passed, Abram had done nothing to him. Living together and sharing a room between a man and a woman, but Abram's concern seemed to have been considered like his own brother.

But unlike Istian, he now shows a special view as he likes men. No matter the age of the two too far, where Istian is now 19 years old, while Abram is 30 years old.

Until that afternoon, when Abram came home, as usual Isti welcomed his arrival with a charming smile. But what he saw was a moody expression, as if receiving a heavy ordeal.

"What's going on, why is your face so tangled." Istian asked confusedly.

"It's nothing." Abram smiled bitterly.

"Don't lie, I know you're in trouble, is this about your job?, the Brahman speaks for a moment or you're a pickpocket."

As if Abram could not resist, showing a hesitant face, he spoke up...."Listen, Isti, I'm going back to the village, next week, you can stay in this rented until anytime, but I hope you'd better go home, solve all the problems and make up with your parents."

"You're going home ?." Istian was puzzled that time with Abram was coming to an end.

"Yes... If you doubt. I'll help you talk to them."

"Then let me come with you." Answer Istian.

Merely, the reply from Istian shocked Abram...."I can't, what should I say if I take you."

"Let's say, I'm your wife."

"Our relationship isn't like that." Abram refused.

Without further ado, Isti immediately gave a kiss that showed Abram his feelings. The face is confused to distinguish between real and illusion. But when he saw Istian's timid expression, it was all quite clear that the softness of the lips he felt was real.

"What is that enough to clarify our relationship." An allusion that Istian did not want to go from beside Abram.

"But..."

"But, but, but... Don't be much but, you know how long I've been at a loss to express my feelings, and you're acting kind of stupid."

"Obviously I can't believe it, you know I'm only om-om almost 30 years old, whereas you're young, I think you're in a trance what the hell."

"No need to wait for a trance to know I like you, I just want to be with you for today, tomorrow and forever."

"Forever ...." Abram's laughter made Istian confused and embarrassed as well.

Istian was upset for Abram's reply...."Why are you laughing."

"No, it's nothing, it's just, this is for the first time in my life, I'm receiving romantic words, especially from a pretty girl like you."

But what Abram got was a kick from Isti, which he said..."Don't say anything embarrassing."

"You started it yourself."

"Here you go, quickly answer me, do you want me to be your wife or not." Istian did not want to wait for Abram to think.

"Yes I want to. As long as you want to."

"Of course I want to." Istian excitedly answered him.

But a few seconds after the two expressed their feelings, either Abram or Isti showed a red face blushing with shame.

"You guys, don't be shy about proposing to me."

"It... Because I never did."

Despite their now happy mood, Istianti now stood up and pulled Abram's hand.

"Well, let's go home and meet your parents, then get married, I want to have two kids." So excited Istian forced Abram.

"How about three."

"As far as you." There was no rejection from Isti.

Returning from his daydreams, there was no smile on Istianti's face like before, now the picture of his life became gray, only one desire, which is to hold Brahman accountable for Abram's death.

At a glance Istianti said to himself...."I'm so happy to be living with Abram as his wife, 14 years old, I feel like I have a family, even though there are fights sometimes, but Abram always has a way to make me laugh again."

Jaelani watched Isti hear everything he said, without needing to answer.

Continue back Istianti said ... "But that man, Brahman Ardantio.... He took it all, made Abram a sacrifice for his sins and lived freely without feeling the pain of guilt."

"Isti, I don't want to admit it, but the person you're fighting is Brahman, to myself, it's impossible to win in the law."

"If I can't win, then we need to find someone who might beat him." Implied a great plan from behind the words of Istianti.

That is why, the purpose of Istian to go somewhere, which is to meet with people who have equal strength to fight Brahman Ardantio.
