Anindira Dew

Section 93

Anin wakes up first because he deliberately avoids Askara, he does not want to meet face to face with the man when he wakes up. So now he is struggling in the kitchen with Mia and Bi Ratih. more precisely Anin just sat down because Bi Ratih forbade him to do kitchen work.

"Let Anin help, Bi". said Anin while standing up while Bi Ratih was washing vegetables.he is not comfortable if just sitting and looking around.

"No need Non, right Bibi has said non Anin just sit down. no need to help let alone cook". forbid bi Ratih.

"Sitting is also bored, Bi.

"Non actually why the hell, early in the morning this is already in the kitchen?". asked Bi Ratih, before , Bi Ratih who just finished performing the morning prayers was surprised to see Anin was already in the kitchen.

Bi Ratih immediately told Anin to sit down and immediately woke up Mia to help her in the kitchen.

"Anin slept well last night, Bi. so all of you woke up quickly and continued to go down to the kitchen". Anin's reason for avoiding Askara when the man wakes up later.

"Non Anin again has a problem?".guess Bi Ratih looked into the eyes of the young mistress.

Anin bit her lower lip, did she have to tell Bi Ratih?.

"Non Anin again there is a problem with Mr Askara?". he asked again.

Anin nodded weakly in response.

Bi Ratih smiled gently stroking Anin's arm. "Non, although Bibi does not know what problems Non Anin and Mr. Askara are having, but the name of the household has its ups and downs, there are trials, there are trials, no smooth household keeps its way, but, it's all a test that must be passed to rise one level to the level of Non Anin household life.so, so, Bibi hopes that Non Anin and Mr. Askara can get through it together". advice bi Ratih who already considers Anin as his own son.

Bi Ratih's words made Anin's heart stirred.but if the problem was in Askara's heart, would he be able to pass it together?.

"Thank you, Bi. Anin feels lucky to be surrounded by good people and care about Anin in this house.

Askara felt the bed beside her with her eyes still tightly closed.Feeling that no one was there, Askara opened her eyes slowly.

"Anin". call Askara with a typical hoarse voice waking up.

Askara straightened her body circulating her gaze throughout the room but did not see the whereabouts of Anin.

Askara pulled up the blanket and got up from her bed, still wearing cloth pants and a white shirt left over last night, Askara walked down the stairs looking for Anin's whereabouts.

"Anin". called again but there was no answer.

Askara's feelings start to panic, did Anin run away from her because of her attitude last night.

With his broad steps, Askara went straight to the kitchen.The place Anin used to visit when she just woke up.

The sound of laughter rang out from the direction of the kitchen, making Askara further speed up his steps.

"Anin". call Askara makes Anin immediately stop his laughter.so do Mia and Bi Ratih.

"Good morning sir". greet Mia and Bi Ratih together.

"Mas Askara is awake?". welcome Anin with a smile that expands to make one eyebrow Askara raised. Why does Anin's face look ordinary? is the woman not angry with him for leaving him at the party last night?. whereas usually Anin will silence him especially if it concerns Dalila.

Askara approached and immediately hugged Anin's body.

"I'm looking for you everywhere don't worry me".

Anin pecked for a moment as Askara hugged her. "I'm just in the kitchen, Mom, not going anywhere".

It's me who's afraid you're gone, but last night you just left me. Inner Anin.

Anin decided to follow Bi Ratih's advice, determined to get through the problems that hit her household with Askara.he did not know what in the future would be like, he did not know what, so Anin will prepare a stronger heart from now on.

"Now come with me to my room. There's something I want to talk about". Askara unraveled their embrace.

Anin said goodbye to Mia and Bi Ratih who finished the rest of their work.

"I'm sorry, Anin. Last night I just left you at the party. I know I was wrong, maybe an apology is not enough to make up for my mistakes last night, I beg you not to think no. that's all I did because I was too emotional to see Ken at the party I was having, you know I don't like him very much". askara said as they were in the room.

"I'm sorry Anin, I'll keep trying to be a good husband to you".

"Yya mas. Now you take a bath. Let me get your office clothes ready".

Askara kissed Anin's cheek before rushing towards the bathroom. "Thank you, I love you". Askara smiled mischievously and stepped into the bathroom.

Anin's heart beats uncharacteristically, still early in the morning but Askara has made him exercise the heart. This is the first time Askara says that she loves him. Her cheeks feel hot, it feels hot, he was sure that by now his face had turned red like a boiled crab.

Askara herself smiled meaningfully while inside the bathroom.Anin's face now must look so funny to hold the shame because of her speech.

Dalila had just entered the photo studio where she was going to do a photo shoot this time, her eyes accidentally saw Ken's back who was about to enter the editing room.

"Ken". call Dalila with her broad steps.

Ken's hand stopped right at the door handle, staring at Dalila who was running small towards him.

"Dalila". muttered Ken.

"I need to talk, do we go to the meeting room.

"Hemm, you go first". Ken lets Dalila walk first, and follows her from behind.

Dalila and Ken enter a meeting room that happens to be empty and unused.he needs a private place to talk to Ken about Askara's words last night.

"Before I apologize about last night, represent the name Askara.I hope you can forgive him". Dalila said staring carefully at the face of Ken sitting opposite him.

"It's okay. This isn't the first time we've been arguing. You don't have to feel guilty.

"Can I ask you something?".Ask Dalila carefully.

"certain".

"Mmm.. a few days ago you told me that you accidentally fell in love with a married woman, did that woman you meant was Anin?".

Ken was silent for a moment, he was not surprised at all at Dalila's question, because he was very curious, what Dalila's relationship with Askara really was.

"Yyya's right, that woman is Anin". Ken replied as calmly as possible.

"You're still in touch?". asked Dalila bravely.

"If the relationship you're referring to is a relationship between a man and a woman, I'm still quite sane, Dalila. we decided to make friends, even though our meetings have been very rare, he said, but Anin is still always a kind and friendly woman, she never changes.

Although there is no emotion in Ken's words, Dalila can see that there is still a sense left in Ken's heart for Anin.

"Then you're alone, what's your relationship with Askara?". asked Ken, Dalila's face looked surprised at Ken's question.

"K-we're both best friends, since childhood rather". nervously Dalila as Ken keeps looking at her.

But what Ken saw, Askara's attitude last night was just too excessive to be called a friend. Moreover, Dalila is currently nervous when answering her question earlier.

"When I told her I had fallen in love with a married woman, you asked me how I could let go of my own feelings. did your question at the time represent your own feelings, Dalila?". asked Ken in a cold tone.

"-What do you mean, Ken?". asked Dalila not to understand.

"I don't know exactly who the man you're worried about right now, but what I saw at the time, you asked me because you wanted to find an answer for yourself. Because right now, right now, you're asking me, you're also stuck in a wrong sense, aren't you?, I'm rebuked if I'm wrong, Dalila". Ken felt that Dalila was also in the position she felt first, trapped in the wrong feeling.

Dalila silently felt her heart beat.Why can Ken guess what is raging in her heart.does the man know that he loves Askara?. Dalila shook her head quickly, Ken couldn't possibly know how she felt about Askara.The man was too early to judge her relationship with Askara.

"I'm sorry, I just remembered if I have to go to the makeup room soon. see you at the photo shoot later". Dalila does not answer Ken's question, and instead leaves the room, fearing Ken's growing suspicions.

Ken stared at Dalila's departure without the woman answering his question. Ken himself is still guessing, what relationship Askara and Dalila purely because they are friendly or even one of them who harbors a sense? given how Askara's attitude was so possessive towards Dalila that it took Dalila away and left Anin without a word at the party last night.
