I love you in my own way
Don't blame me
When I was selfish
I am like this

I don't know why I feel so happy today. Just now, it made me smile to myself. I didn't think that Cecilia and I could finally make up. And we might be good friends.
"Why are you smiling to yourself? Is there anything funny?" romi shouted as he entered my room. He was always so nosy.
I went back to the office after meeting Cecilia earlier. There is still a lot of work unresolved.
"Well, there's pizza. You took him? I eat ya?" π¬Romi instantly picked up one slice of pizza that was on the table.
"Yes, just eat. Usually you don't ask permission. Directly brush!!"
"Something seems to be happy. Until I brought all the pizza!"
And as usual, Sister Herning joined my room.
I'm just smiling. Herning's mom always knew what was going on even though I didn't tell her.
"There are smells of romance, Rom." teased Sister Herning to me.
"Whatdidyou say? What romance?" I answered with shame.
"We'll see and wait, Doctor. Let time do the talking." Romi's going to be the stove.
"Hush! Hush! It's gone there! I need to continue my work!" My face was already so red as they kept teasing me.

I waited for my mother to come home from the store by sitting on the porch. It feels like I haven't sat here in a long time. I look around the house. This house looks old. And indeed the model house of the past. The gate is just the waist of an adult. Unlike today's houses, the average fence is towering.
Not much has changed since I moved in. I am not the kind of person who likes to change things. He wants the memories of Dad not to be lost.
Fathering... I haven't been to Dad's grave in a long time. There's so much I want to tell Dad. If only he were still here.
God's destiny must be so much more beautiful. I believe that.
Not long after my mom came riding an online motorcycle. I smiled at my mother.
"It's not usually you stop by. Why not just wait inside the house? You'll have the keys to Mom's house." As usual, I never talked.
"No, Ma. I'm just waiting for Mom."
"Hmmm, it seems you're not here to see Mom? You must have had other intentions, right?"
"Mother? It's not. I'm here to see you too."
I followed my mother into the house. And walk towards my room. Old room. Looks as neat as ever.
Mom must've always styled it and changed the sheets even though I didn't sleep here. I threw my body into bed. Feels cold when sticking to the bed sheet. I hugged my neck tightly. It feels very comfortable.
My mom and I aren't really that close. From childhood I was with my father more often. Mother is strong-willed, just like other Batak descendants. Mother also always said loudly and firmly.
In the past, when I first introduced Mas Alvian to Mom, I didn't agree with a celebrity. I know it's a natural thing. Given the lifestyle of celebrities known for their luxurious lives. Plus, we have different beliefs. Mother was very defiant when I finally became a convert. But I kept convincing Mom that I had the right to decide my own way of life. My mother finally let us down and allowed us to get married. It is undeniable, if Alvian mas is a dream daughter-in-law for every parent. He was a well-established, famous, handsome, and kind man.
"Would you like a drink?" mother's voice broke my daydream. "You miss this room? You haven't slept in this room in a long time." There was a look of sadness on Mom's face. "You want to have dinner here?"
"No need, Mom. I'll take it myself if I'm thirsty. How's the store doing? A lot?"
"Yes that's it. Appreciable. I want to make a new menu. Menu is trending among the public. Uh, do you want dinner here, no? I bought satay padang and rendang."
I'm nodding.
"Mom knows all the stories from Ishmael."
I widened my eyes. "What's the story about, Mom?"
"Your relationship with him. He's the cop who handled Tasya's accident case isn't he? You don't like him because he's forcing you to go on with Tasya's case."
"So? You know about Nayla?"
"Yes. Ismail's son told me everything to mom. Don't be mad at him. He was just trying to be honest with Mom. He's a good guy. You should be nice to her too."
I'm nodding. "I made up with him, Mom. Besides, I'm also calmer because now I have a close neighbor. A cop anyway!"
...***...
Arriving at home, the state of the house looks lonely. Mas Alvian's car wasn't in the parking lot. Strange enough in my opinion, because usually at this hour he's home. And I also came home late because I had dinner at Mom's.
I approached Neneng who was in the kitchen.
"Where is everyone? Alvian hasn't come home yet?"
"Father hasn't come home yet, ma'am" replied Neneng who was washing dishes. "Mom's gonna have dinner?"
"No perly. I ate at Mom's house. Nayla where? Is he in his room? Usually at this hour he's watching soap operas in the TV room."
"Bu Nayla was gone. I don't know where to go. I went with Mang Ujang."
Strange, it's not usually Nayla go out. He never leaves at night.
I open the fridge and get some ice cold water. My throat feels dry. I accidentally looked at the trash that was right next to the fridge because it was in our house using an open garbage tub.
I saw a foreign object there. Whatisit? Like a testpack pack. Out of curiosity, I picked it up. And true, it's a pregnancy test kit wrap. But who wears it? The neneng? He's not even married yet. Did he do anything weird while I wasn't home?
I opened it slowly and saw it. I closed my mouth in surprise. Two lines. Testpack result is positive. I rushed to my room. Look at the testpack for a few minutes.
Who's been using this? I'm not wearing it, and I'm probably pregnant because I'm still using contraceptives. My mind drifted erratically.
And it wasn't long before I heard Mas Alvian's voice enter the house. With Nayla. They look happy. I saw them smiling together.
What the hell is going on here? What did I miss? Why am I just a spectator?
I looked at the testpack again.
Is this Nayla's property?
My body feels weak. Is this a dream? If this is a dream, please wake me up. Anyone, wake me up!!!
