Stone Miners
Eps. 38 Warmth

After his sadness was gone with the rain that no longer drenched the earth, Faiz invited Tia to come home soon. He was worried that Tia would get sick.

"Where are we going?" Tia asked who felt Faiz was guiding his vehicle further and further away from his cost

"So seriously you want to know?"

"Of course." Answer Tia steady

"Take you to a place where you'll feel warmth." Faiz smiled nosily

"meaning?" Tia tried to digest Faiz's answer

"Well, you don't understand? Yeah, I'll give you some warmth." Faiz really wanted to prank Tia

"What warmth? He means he wants ahg@eror#*&@" Tia started thinking no-no.

"Example?" Tia who tried to clarify Faiz's words so that his strange thoughts immediately went from his brain

"You're impatient, Dad?" Again, Faiz's lips were attracted, his smile was getting harder and harder to hide.

"Ish, what am I asking for?"

"Seriously you want me to do it here?" Faiz looked back

"What's? She's gonna kiss me here?"

"Racanok." Again and again Faiz's helmet becomes Tia's target. "Don't look here! The road ahead. You pervert!" Tia Umbrella

"Ih, who's a pervert?? What were you thinking about?" Goda Faiz's.

"Ish, what do you think you're trying? I didn't think of anything, anyway. It's you, always thinking no-no." Tia's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.

Faiz was intent on entertaining Tia but it seemed that she was the one who enjoyed her game the most.

"I? Thinking of the no?" Faiz

"Yes, Clear!" Answer Tia sure

"I thought the truth." Faiz's reply actually made Tia's hand even more itchy to hit her head.

"Just take me home." Tia sulked

"God, why are the more adorable she gets these days." Inner Faiz

"I must have dropped you off but after you felt the warmth, Dad?" Persuade Faiz while continuing to advance his motorbike

"This time my mind won't get dirty anymore. He must've fucked me up like last time at the boarding house." Thought Tia (Eps.07)

"Mmm.. yes.yes.yes mama's boy like you can what?" Tia said in a mocking tone

"you mean? You underestimated me?" Faiz felt challenged

"If so, why?" Ask again

Faizpun pulled over his vehicle right near the lake by the road. He got off the bike and stood right facing Tia who was still sitting on the bike

"I'll prove it." Faiz moved his head slightly until it was parallel to Tia's face.

"Ease me! What's he gonna do?"

Their faces were getting closer and closer Tia could even feel the man's breathing

"Liet Tia. He couldn't have done it. He's still innocent. He's mama's son." Tia didn't move a bit. He let Faiz closer and closer until their noses touched.

Deg.

Degs...

"Ah... Shit!" Faiz pulled his head back away from it.

"You really have the courage now?" Faiz bit his lower lip in annoyance. "What if I kiss you for real?"

"Haha where is possible! You wouldn't have done it." Tia laughed complacently as her prediction was just right. Faiz can't be fucked.

Suddenly Faiz looked inwardly at Tia. Her net was two pairs of eyes that were satisfied laughing at her. "I don't want to touch her without your love." Faiz's thumb touched Tia's ranum lips. The touch made Tia stop from laughing

"Ish, you naughty bastard." This time Faiz's hand moved to the top of Tia's head. "You'll regret doing this to me." Faiz again sat on the motor then pulled the motor gas at regular speed.

Actually Faiz was a little upset because of Tia's lure earlier. How not, now the woman's lips continue to disturb the contents of her head. "He thinks restraint is easy! It's called inner torture."

Silence approached the two. No one dared to open their voices. Both Faiz and Tia, both dissolved in their respective minds

"Give me your phone." Faiz said when the bike had stopped in front of a house that is definitely not the cost of Tia.

Tia who was still controlled by confusion immediately handed over her phone without a stale base.

"Who did you call?" Tia asked so deeply

"Hallo Mother, this is Faiz." Faiz said as soon as the call was connected

"Mother, maybe I'll take Tia a little late. Is it okay, Mother?" Further. He ignored Tia who pinched the small of his back

"Mother's child is safe, really." Faiz's last words before his phone was completely turned off.

Faiz pressed his motor horn until Uli ran to open the door for Faiz

"This is my house." Faiz invites Tia to come in

"Hi Brother." Sapa Uli's

"And this is my sister." Introducing Uli

"Uli." Poking hands to shake hands.

The hand was welcomed "Tia" he replied.

"Let's go in, brother." Uli immediately took Tia's hand into the house. Without asking much, Uli immediately recognized Tia's face. The woman he had a video call with.

"Please give him a change of clothes." Pinta Faiz was walking behind the two women

"Ready Brother. Safe!" Reply Uli with pleasure.

"You're a hobby of eating, your fat must be the same." Faiz whispered in Uli's ear and ran to his room before receiving retribution.

Since there was no one in the living room, Uli immediately brought Tia into his room to change clothes. He lent his clothes to Tia because of their almost equal body size. They are indeed descendants of high-bodied people so do not be surprised if Uli clothes fit Tia.

"Oh, is this Faiz's guest?" Greet Faiz's mother kindly

"Please sit down." Tympal Faiz's.

"Yes aunt, um." Tia kissed the hands of Faiz's father and mother who were waiting for him at the dinner table.

That night Tia witnessed a phenomenon she had never felt before. Family harmony that he never got in his house. A love that brings warmth even for the first time she sees a husband treating his wife gently as if the love between them never fades.

His soul trembled, how could something like this really exist? A reality that feels like an impossible dream. The reality that Faiz showed tonight managed to hit the stubbornness and heart that had been hardened all along.

"It's really warm. Warmer than I thought."
