“Ririn? Rin?” Darren tossed his coat onto the sofa after seeing the dining room, which was not separated from the living room, in disarray. Ceramic tableware is scattered shapelessly across the floor, and the sight of dried blood trickling into the master bedroom makes Darren even more anxious.All night long his cell phone had been confiscated by the youngest, Liara, because Darren was considered too devoted to work even in the midst of a family that was chatting with each other, especially since Maureen's number that he saved under the name of the advertising division kept calling. He really couldn't do anything about it.What had happened to Ririn? The question kept repeating in Darren's head until he found his beloved still asleep in the middle of the bed, he could exhale with relief.Maureen's pose on her back without a single thread covered was very tempting indeed. The big, beautifully puffed chest with the rosy peaks sticking out instantly creates a hunger to pounce. Not to me
"Hey! Hey! What's wrong?" The tall man who climbed the stairs seemed to have rushed down to the point that his wet body was only wrapped in a towel from the waist down. Water droplets emphasized the muscles that had formed on his smooth body."Angga?" Almost mesmerized despite repeated looks, Maureen cleared her throat, ignoring the voice from outside the door. "Are you home?"The man nodded. "Just finished showering."Yes, Maureen saw clearly without needing to explain.Angga walked over and gave her a hug from his cool skin. "Any injuries?" He observed the dry scratches on Maureen's arm."Rin! Open the door!" Shouts from outside alerted them to the fact that someone else kept hitting the sliding door of the shophouse."Angga?" Maureen held Angga's waist to stay with her. It was better to stay away.However, Maureen's anxiety over him made Angga feel cared for."I'll do it." Angga kept both of Maureen's hands behind him, keeping her protected as he opened the door and fired questions
"I still have to work this morning," Maureen complained.It wasn't that she wanted to dash Angga's hopes who seemed serious about building a relationship with her, but skipping work outside of sickness wasn't Maureen's habit. College was no different. Although hedonism was her lifestyle, Maureen did not want to spend her attendance allowance easily."Do you still want to work there?" Angga snorted. The man took a work suit in the form of a dark cloth shirt and pants, contrasting with his skin color which was too light for a local man.That was also why Maureen had not expected Angga to have skills as a fighter. In fact, she first underestimated Angga's appearance at first, which seemed more like a limber boy band. It turned out that underneath the thick jacket worn at that time, many charming things were hidden.Maureen shook her head, dismissing the possibility of her falling too deeply with the man before her. Returning to the conversation, "My contract is still unfinished, Angga."
Darren banged the steering wheel in front of him after meeting his grandfather. Just as he was arguing with the man who claimed to be Maureen's boyfriend, the old man informed him that a baseless article had been published in the online news media.He opened the row of news that was immediately displayed on the main homepage of the search page along with a photo of the hitting scene he had carried out on the prospective doctor."Wiratama Group Heir Caught Fighting With Aspiring Doctor Over Girl."The main tagline of the article made Darren squeeze the square object in his hand. In an instant, the media had scrutinized their information and background. Darren should have been able to get more than that to prevent any man from getting close to Maureen.He had been blinded.Raka Angga Gumilang, the koas figure who was with Maureen had a background that could not be underestimated. A prominent family of doctors and well-connected in terms of public service.Unfortunately, Darren will find
“With whom?” Abra placed the bowls of hot porridge on the table. The sweet aroma of the peanut mixture combined with coconut milk tantalized the senses.“Here, Pa. Angga.” Maureen pulled out one of the chairs from under the table for Angga to sit on, but he fell to the floor because he was too nervous.Maureen had to cover her mouth with both hands, holding back the laughter that might be heard until Angga actually sat in the chair. Where was Angga's optimistic attitude in front of the house?“Angga? Who is him, Maureen?” asked Aya, who took off her apron after making sure the tray containing the arrangement of layer cake pieces was safe on the table.“Mama, I see. I just met you and I'm already being interrogated.” Maureen sounded pretentious, but she was relieved to find that her mother's anger was no longer audible. It was as if nothing big had happened before.“Have you eaten?” Aya moved one of Abra's bowls in front of Angga.“It's still afternoon, Aunty.” Almost refusing, Angga a
Darren loosened the tie that was strangling his neck. After Maureen left, his frustration grew. His emotions seemed to need to be vented. However, he was pressured by a lot of work and meetings waiting for him after work hours.“Why would I degrade myself in front of a woman like Ririn?” Darren scolded. “What a tease!”He was caught up in the warmth that kept claiming every time he saw Maureen move. Even her sleep could make Darren's deepest desires heat up instantly. Darren would give anything to have Maureen back.The pounding inside his head was getting worse. His hands were hard to control as he tossed the various distractions on the table. He needed a distraction.“Bi? What's this?” Iqlima walked into Darren's glass-walled room as she pointed at her phone screen and showed him a series of messages from her work group questioning the veracity of the article.“Where did you get that rumor?” Darren took a quick glance, then picked up the folders that had been dropped. He knew exactl
"Is it too soon?" Angga walked backwards to face Maureen who kept waving a smile for him along the pedestrian area after they finished dinner at one of the fringe stalls near Maureen's house.Maureen wouldn't have known about the fried rice cart vendor that stopped by the roadside if Angga hadn't told her. The queue was great, as was the taste they got when they ate together amidst the noise of passing vehicles.Angga did not promise luxury, but rather the togetherness they could live together."You said that you wanted to give me a normal dating style." Maureen chewed on the crackers she took from the plastic bag Angga had bought for them separately from their fried rice. "They even asked for an engagement as soon as possible to cover up the issue."She just didn't expect the avoided relationship concept to come sooner through a man she had just met. For Maureen, Angga is an unpredictable variable in statistical data, a possibility that appears without knowing whether it brings benef
"Congrats, Bro!" An unexpected reaction from Ben. His calmness was sometimes frightening and unpredictable, but this time Angga's best friend just finished his drink and looked at the drab crowd.Angga, who had put on a serious face, chuckled at the direction of Ben's gaze. "I thought you would be jealous."Somehow they always got stuck liking the same woman even though they thought she wasn't on their bucket list at all."Not yet." Ben looked down, eyeing the full glass that the bartender had just slid in front of him. He took a sip of soda and lime-flavored syrup in between conversations. "I can't help it, I have no feelings for her other than sympathy. It's like seeing Dera, but she's not Dera.""I can understand. Dera was quite aggressive back then too." Angga's glass was empty, but the empty space inside seemed to highlight old memories. Hearts that were never spoken to.He had known Dera longer, being her shield whenever she was unable to face the bullies in junior high school.
"Hi, handsome! Looks like you really like Maureen, seeing as my cell phone is still intact," said the young man whose name I didn't remember. Only his face was still familiar despite his long hair. He became Maureen's backrest while sitting on the stool opposite the bartender's table."You can keep my new number. Just type in Aaron."I didn't care about the way he introduced himself. I had only come to pick Maureen up and hoped she was still living where we had last made out.First impression when I opened her room, it was messy. I wasn't used to seeing things scattered all over the place other than our clothes as we stripped each other. The Maureen I knew had miraculous cleaning habits although not as perfect as her twin brother."What's the matter with this, Rin?" My question went unanswered, Maureen was completely stoned as she lay on her bed. I took my place beside her, observing the changes in the contours of her face which looked fuller than the last time we met. The strands of
I was abandoned again this morning. There was no one in my room other than the marks on the wet sheets. The smell of cum was so strong even on my naked body, on my cheeks too.An illusion?I rolled to the edge of the bed, but the pain in my groin made me crawl slowly. Last night's perpetrator really took advantage of the opportunity.I remember Aaron coming in last night, then another guy took me. Aaron said he wasn't interested in women, was last night the same guy he called sexy?His message this morning on the screen of the cell phone I just picked up confirmed the truth. The sexy man still has Aaron's number activated.But does he need to know I'm pregnant?Oh, yes. Do I need to take another test this morning to make sure? I drank so much last night and had so much sex, it should be coming out already, right?Stupid Maureen! I cursed myself as I noticed the large amount of cum coming out of my vagina. There was no blood at all.Looks like the hot guy even played with my hand.I lo
Still having to understand Maureen's busy schedule, I got into another habit. Chatting with a date on an app. It wasn't just about sex, although that was the initial trigger of the introduction.White Fox--she doesn't want others to know her identity when it comes to sex. She never actually met any of her acquaintances, other than me. She said, anyway. What can be trusted from online acquaintances?This time we promised to meet, to make sure the photos we received from each other were real. Without knowing faces, of course.The fox mentioned a club, not the upstairs part of the club where drinking and dancing usually took place, but gambling through martial arts action in the hidden basement of the city's high-rise buildings. She would see me first with a sign, a victory in the new fighter challenge session."Just because I mentioned martial arts, she actually challenged me." My mind underestimated the battle scene amidst the cheering humans.Unlik
My first year here, the fall season that just started, was very busy. Maybe it's the culture shock effect too. Talking to native speakers made me slower to digest other people's conversations. Unfortunately, Zac Efron was in the same room as me, the substitute lecturer.While the man whose real name was Aaron Cohen was busy explaining averaging down as one of the tricks of massive stock purchases, I was imagining what might have happened on the night of our date. He said I was fierce enough to kick his manhood, and then... the fragments of memories of touching a man without remembering a face were troubling me."You sure nothing happened that night?" I asked after our introductory pleasantries when class was over.Aaron gave a long mumble, placing his index book on his chin suspiciously. He clarified, "I didn't do anything with you, but another guy did. He was pretty hot while wrestling with you."Wow! Am I that wild to let someone else see my bed activities? Just imagining it makes m
"It's okay to leave you alone, right?" More like a notification than a request for permission, Maureen was always like that, on her own.I don't know what kind of relationship we had, just physical interaction every time we met, other than that... she and I seemed to be in different worlds. I've come all the way across the continent to see her, through hot nights that I feel like I need a long rest, and she's so noisy unpacking the pile of papers on the desk with the excuse, "I have class this morning."Well, what could I respond to in my half-awake, half-cocked state. The habit on a cold morning, already exhausted and drained from the night, of still being able to stand upright.Maureen is my fiancée, on purpose. There were things I couldn't explain to Maureen about our relationship that changed too quickly. From being just sleeping buddies, without dating, to having a status. Maybe marriage was included? It was also the design of someone who was quite close to Maureen."What time d
I was surprised when Angga-my fiancé-arrived when my date had just left. Our 17-hour-plus-flight relationship did not limit our interactions with the opposite sex, including sex.The agreement from the start of our relationship was openness. There was no way I could prevent Angga from fulfilling his needs when we started out as a one-night stand. Sex. It's a match. I got engaged because there were no other candidates, while my scandal with Uncle Darren needed to be diverted so that Grandpa's company wouldn't collapse due to the drop in stock prices."You didn't tell me when you were leaving!" I protested after our recent struggle. "I was worried, you know?"Even if he sends me thousands of fake roses, I won't easily give in to his apology for surprising me without any news. Yes, fake roses because real flowers make me sneeze.The previous two days I was like a crazy person who kept drinking alcohol because I had no outlet. Usually Angga would invite me to have phone sex in the midnigh
"Uncle, here ...." Maureen's voice was still echoing in my head, even the scene from last night was briefly repeated in the short dream just now."Shit ...." I cursed the front of my pants, which turned out to be damp and sticky. It was only a fleeting dream on the way, but it was enough to make me take another shower.The distance between Boston and NYC should have taken less than three hours, but I needed time to clean up after half the trip. It could have been longer if I'd taken public transportation. Luckily I still had my cell phone to contact the driver, as well as the cell phone of the young man Maureen was dating.Stupidly, I even replayed the video that recorded the vulgar scene between us. When Maureen inserted mine into her very erotically, I woke up too."Is this really like being a widower?" I lamented my reflection in the mirror of the dressing table that was the facility of the motel room at the highway stop.Moving to the dressing table and resting the cell phone ther
"When are you coming out, anyway?" asked the woman on top of me, who was still riding like a horse controller around the stables at high speed. Her hoarse voice sounded tired, but there was no sign that the rider was about to collapse.I just enjoyed the sensual view from the surface of the bed that I thought was too narrow for the two of us to occupy. While removing the hair from her damp face, while touching the softness of her sweat-soaked skin, I... felt deja vu.Eight years ago, when she did the same thing, when I was completely unaware of her existence. My first moment with her could not be replaced by any other woman."Uncle ...." She moans, lowering the speed of her hip shaking as she bends over. Ah, those warm lips teasing the dark circles on my chest. The slight bite there became very stinging in my head.I recognized her amazing stamina despite being under the influence of alcohol. Maureen repeatedly achieved release, felt from how hers clamped down on me, oozing warmth tha
"Angga is a jerk!" The woman at the edge of the bar counter continued to sip the contents of the glass that had been emptied of ice. She connected to another glass that the barista thrust in front of her in between swearing harshly every time she looked at the extinguished phone screen. "Damn it!"Her name was Maureen Jovita Abraham, a college student who made the most of her empty nights by following the habits of her new friends in a foreign land. And the cell phone's low power added to her frustration with her boyfriend, who had not been forthcoming."Where are you going, motherfucker?!" Her palms pounded on the table, fuming at the loneliness. The drinking partner who had invited her had disappeared into the crowd of music lovers."Rin?" The call came from a voice she hadn't heard in a long time, who else could say her name with the distinctive accent of her home country."You are here?" Maureen tried to lift her head, which was getting heavier from the effects of the drink, to lo
