Maira slowly opened the door.
Now Maira is more emboldened to talk to Andra often. Andra who was glazed justifies his tie.
He looked towards Maira who was carrying a tray and Maira kept walking storing the food on the table.
"This is her breakfast" Seen from her eyes Maira smiled at Andra. Andra turned her gaze away she did not respond until Maira went out back.
"Something when he'll get tired of sending me food like that" Wearing a suit and going off to work. Maira from the dining table just watched him leave. "Be careful on the road ya mas" murmured in Maira's heart.
*****
It has been a month now Maira has become increasingly immune to Andra's cold attitude. Maira always braced herself and fortified her heart with iron when Andra spoke that should hurt her heart.
Andra who always said rudely to Maira actually just wanted Maira to feel uncomfortable with her and cut off her relationship with her. But Andra's efforts were just in vain.
although Andra was a drunkard, Andra was never rude (hand playing) to his wife Maira. He can still control himself.
*****
Maira who was sitting on the bed felt homesick for her father and mother. "I've been here a month, can I go see them. I'd better ask Wijaya's father after I ask Andra for permission. "
"Assalamu'alaikum yah" Maira called Mr. Wijaya and expressed his longing for Mr. Aaron and Fatimah's mother. Mr. Wijaya also advised Maira to return to his hometown of course by asking for delivery to Andra.
"Anything Andra wants to deliver. It doesn't feel possible. Mm, I'll ask permission first. " Maira who just finished calling Mr. Wijaya.
****saturday****
Andra who was on the terrace in front of her room was sitting holding her laptop doing office work. Maira approached Andra with a cup of warm tea for Andra, then Maira put a cup on the table near the laptop and Maira sat in a separate chair next to Andra.
"I miss my mom and dad." Maira silently waited for Andra's response but Andra did not respond at all. "You may I wish to visit my father and mother and stay there one day If you permit . And if you don't mind, I can ask you to take me there. Because I don't want to until mom and dad think negatively about you. " Maira still has not received a response from Andra.
Maira stood up, no response from Andra meant no permission from her. When Maira stepped one step Andra spoke without looking at Maira, her eyes were fixed on her work . "If you want to go, just don't expect me to drive you. "
Maira smiled happily because Andra responded even though cold, Maira also turned towards "So let me thank you mas. But is it okay to go home by myself means that I can go alone. " Maira is afraid of mispronunciation which can make Andra colder.
"I told you if I wanted to go. "
