Aby's car drove towards the capital after a week spent in Bogor. Three hours of travel feels very long because several times have to meet traffic jams. Eventually, the car entered the yard.
Fatigue is clearly drawn from two faces that just came down the car. Aby opened the back of the trunk and pulled out some stuff. While Dew took the paper bag that he had stored in the back seat.
"Hi, Dew. Back from Surabaya, huh?" A cheerful and passionate greeting became the couple's first welcome. It seemed like the neighbor one wall with them was indeed happy to welcome the neighbor who had just arrived home. And the habit of Siska never changed, which is to use tight clothes even in the hours of sleep like now.
But as usual, Aby was indifferent and seemed not to care much for the neighbor. He even just walked in with a suitcase without returning Siska's greeting. while Dew only commented on his makeshift smile.
"Hi, Siska," she replied, with a faint smile. "Sorry, I'm in first." Then without making small talk immediately enter the house.
Siska just stared at the door of the minimalist house with wrinkles on both eyebrows.
"What is the same as Dew? Not usually a bitch."
Inside the house
This evening's trip left the couple exhausted. After alternating into the bathroom and wearing sleeping clothes, the two went to bed. Aby was still sitting on her back with a cell phone, while Dew was lying next to her.
"Not going to sleep yet, my mother?" Dew looked at her focused husband with a mobile phone screen.
"anytime soon. You go to sleep first."

Dew felt a drastic change from Aby's attitude in recent days. Although her demeanor remains as gentle as ever, however, since the debate about the child, Aby has never again asked to be served. Though previously, the activity of the night drained it as if it became a mandatory ritual before going to bed.
Dew was still daydreaming staring at the breakfast dish when the door of the room opened. He raises the figure of Aby who is neat with work clothes. However, the man just passed the dining table.
"I don't eat breakfast, go straight to the office."
Aby's cold words urged Dewun to catch up with her husband immediately. Before reaching the door, Dew had already pulled the man's arm until his footsteps stopped.
"Mas, what the hell are you doing? I feel like you've changed a little bit these days. You still mad at me?"
"Change why? Not a feeling." Aby glanced at the direction of the needle on the circular watch on her wrist. Make sure he's not late for the office.
"Is it because of the child's problem?"
Aby did not deny that the problems of recent days were triggered by Dewun's refusal to accept Aby's desire to have children. But, if Dew had a reasonable reason, there was no reason for Aby to be angry.
One thing that made him really disappointed was that Dew was like he was hiding something from her. Shouldn't as a couple there be no secrets between the two?
"Do you think I can get angry just because you're not ready to have children?" tanyanya's a little upset.
"What's the problem, then? These few days you've been acting like this to me?"
Whether conscious or not, both of Aby's hands darted quickly, clutching Dew's arm. His piercingly sharp gaze made Dew at a loss for words.
"I decided to choose you not just so you could give a child. You know, building a household is not easy. If you don't want to be open, how can we survive?"
Although Aby's tone sounded relaxed, it was piercing into Dew's heart.
"I told you I had my own reasons for that, right?"
"But what's the reason?" Aby's breathing sounded heavy. "I'm not starting to understand you, Mbun! It's not your rejection that makes me disappointed, but your doubts are just like mine."
Slowly Aby's grip stretched, but did not change the look of his sharp eyes rained down. Dew can only stare at the steady back of her husband who is slowly moving away. The sound of the door slamming loudly made his body jump.
