FORCED

Kasih smiled as he rubbed Abimanyu's lips which were wet from drinking water.

Abimanyu's heart fluttered, why did Kasih always make his heart unstable.

"Tell me dear, why did you eat the fried rice all the way through when it tasted so salty?" asked Abimanyu without thinking.

"I don't think it matters, what matters is who cooks and how he cooks it." said Kasih looking at Abimanyu who looked confused not understanding the meaning of his words.

"I don't understand dear, you know my brain is stupid, what does that mean?" asked Abimanyu regretting having a mediocre brain.

"To me, the taste of your fried rice is not important. Whether it's salty or sweet, because I know it was you who made it. You cooked it with passion, so I'm very touched and grateful to you." said Kasih explaining in simple language.

"You like it because I cooked it, even though you know it's salty?" said Abimanyu repeating the meaning of Love.

"Like this sweet word, you may have heard of it. Whatever you give me whether it's poison, I will eat it or drink it. So basically I believe in you, now you are my friend." said Kasih holding out his hand.

Although it was a little difficult to understand, Abimanyu began to understand Kasih's intentions.

With pleasure, Abimanyu accepted Kasih's helping hand.

"Drrrt... Drrrt... Drrrt"

"Just a moment, dear." Abimanyu said when his phone rang.

Abimanyu saw a number on his cellphone, Abimanyu hesitated to accept it.

"Hello... Abi dear, this is my new number dear." said Aunt Linda there spoiled.

"Yes Auntie, what's wrong?" asked Abimanyu in a low voice.

"I heard from Steffi you need a lot of money dear." said Aunt Linda who knew that Abimanyu needed money, and she needed Abimanyu's body.

"Yes Auntie." said Abimanyu admitted that he really needed money to pay rent for his adopted children.

"I'll give you cash, if tonight you accompany me until morning, how about it?" asked Linda with a triumphant smile, because surely Abimanyu couldn't refuse him if he needed the money.

"Okay Auntie, just send me the address. I'll be there." said Abimanyu, then hung up the phone.

Abimanyu really couldn't do anything, other than accepting it, he needed a lot of money to pay the rent that had expired.

"From who Abi? Are you serious?" asked Kasihn seeing Abimanyu's face that looked sad and sad.

"Nobody, just a customer asking for help to deliver goods." Abhimanyu replied with a sudden hurt feeling when he lied to Kasih.

"Em... I'm sorry I have to go home now, thank you for eating fried rice which is completely unfit to eat." said Abimanyu smiling by rubbing the back of his neck half embarrassed.

"It's okay, soon you'll be good at cooking too, if you don't daydream about cooking." said Kasih who knew that Abimanyu was cooking while daydreaming.

"Hmm, that's because I was daydreaming of you. Em...no! I mean I just don't feel confident when cooking." said Abimanyu who was speechless.

Kasih smiled a little while covering his mouth.

"Well never mind, hurry home, sorry for your customers who are waiting for the shipment." said Kasih holding back his laughter seeing Abimanyu's behavior so innocent.

"Hmm... well I'm going home now." said Abimanyu putting his hands in his pants pockets.

"Be careful, Abi." said Kasih who was very amused by Abimanyu's presence, which he thought was very real.

Abimanyu smiled innocently, then got up from his seat and walked out of Kasih's house.

Kasih, who took Abimanyu to the front of the house, waved his hand when Abimanyu started his motorbike.

In front of Kasih's house, Gilang was seen clenching his fists in anger.

"So it was that man who kept you away from me! Just watch! How can I destroy the man you love, Kasih." mumbled Gilang furiously.

Gilang's car quickly drove to follow where Abimanyu's motorbike went.

Arriving at the village, Gilang's car stopped and saw Abimanyu enter the village, which looked shabby to Gilang's eyes.

"So here's his house, very fitting in his tacky and smug style. See what I can do with your slums." said Gilang with a cynical smile as he started his car leaving the Abimanyu village.

With a flowery feeling, Abimanyu walked down the small street with a small whistle.

"Abimanyu, where have you been? We have work tomorrow to look after Mr. Udin's shop, who is out of town." said Jhonny when Abimanyu walked over to him who was sitting relaxed in the bamboo hall.

"How many days do you have to guard Mr. Udin's shop?" asked Abimanyu as he sat beside Jhonny and drank the leftover coffee from Jhonny.

"It's only three days, Abi, but it's enough to feed the children, right, Abi?" said Jhonny looking at Abimanyu's face that looked happy.

"Yes John, I hope today I can get some money from Linda, Jhon." said Abimanyu still with a beaming face.

"Abi from the moment you arrived, smiling all the time. What's wrong? Ooohh, I know! You must have managed to have lunch with Miss Doctor." said Johnny with a smile.

"Not just lunch, but cook together in the kitchen." said Abimanyu with a small smile.

"Wow... it's only right that you are like someone else in love. Congratulations Abi, don't forget you have to treat me." said Jhonny patting Abimanyu's shoulder.

Abimanyu laughed shyly.

"Don't worry, we will have a fortune to drink at the usual place." Abimanyu answered as his eyes gazed into the street.

"Tonight how is Abi? Are you ready with Aunt Linda?" asked Johnny seriously.

"I'm going to bed now. Wake me up at seven. Oh yeah, please buy me some laxative. I have to figure out something so Linda doesn't rape me again." said Abimanyu giving ten thousand to Jhonny.

"Okay Abi, I'll go out first to buy the medicine. Lock the motorbike Abi." Jhonny said to Abimanyu before entering the house.

Abimanyu gave him the keys to his motorbike then went into his room and went to sleep to recover his strength.

"Abi, whenever you want to go out with all the women, you are always cool. Why do you go to Miss Doctor house when you only wear normal clothes?" Steffi asked Abimanyu who was already neatly dressed.
