At home, Akbar lifts Maxwell's tiny body from the car. The boy fell asleep during the trip. Akbar took her inside the house and put her to bed.
After making sure Maxwell was asleep, Akbar walked to the bathroom to clean his body which was full of sweat because of a day of walking with Maxwell. Akbar began to flush his body with water, he smiled as he recalled the accidental encounter between himself and Mila in the mall earlier.
But when you remember Mila who came home with Aldo yesterday, it made her so upset.
Akbar came out of the bathroom, bare-chested he walked towards the wardrobe, the towel he wrapped around his waist, and the small towel he hung around his neck to tilt his wet hair.
"Damn it, why do I keep remembering the man" his grunts as Aldo's face popped into his mind.
"Ahhh. The more I think I'm getting annoyed" he shouted as he threw a small towel around his neck.
Akbar opened the closet and picked up his shirt and put it on immediately. Akbar observed his HP lying on the table. Suddenly he remembered something. He smiled and grabbed his HP.
Asleep already?. Sending a message to Carmila, sent.
Akbar waited for a reply from Mila while continuing to look at his HP screen. After a few minutes his HP rang, a message came in from Mila. With Akbar's spirit, he opened it.
Haven't. Short answer from Mila.
Wh why? Are you thinking about me?. Reply again.
No, instead of thinking about you, I'd rather think of Maxwell.
"Why is it Maxwell ?" ask himself.
Why think about it ? He's happy with his Daddy, you don't have to think about it, you just met once anyway. Reply again.
This time there was no reply from Mila. Akbar put his HP back. "Maybe he's asleep" he murmured inwardly.
On the other hand, Mila's own smile rereads all of Akbar's messages, to the extent that Mona who sees him becomes confused.
"Sister Mila okay? " ask Mona to Mila.
"Of course it's good, what's up?" raising her face, she looked at Mona, then returned to her HP screen.
"It's not usually like that, a message from Brother Akbar huh?" guess Mona while trying to peek at Mila's HP.
"No!" mila is lying.
"Then, take a look" he challenged.
"Little children can't see" Mila swore and left Mona.
"Huuu base stingy" Mona cheered.
********
That afternoon after work, Mila stopped by the Delicious Bakery pastry store run by Nayra and Milva. Mila and Irene had promised to come to the store.
Mila entered the store which was immediately welcomed by all employees there, Mila had often visited there and the employees also knew that Mila was their boss's best friend.
"The nayra exists?" ask Mila to one of the cashiers there.
"There's Ma'am, Ms. Nayra is waiting in her room with her friend" the cashier replied politely.
"With his friend?" think for a moment. "Ohh it must be Irene, okay thank you" said Mila then rushed to Nayra's room.
Once there, Mila finds Nayra and Irene sitting together while snacking on cookies.
"Have you come ?" greet Irene as soon as she sees Mila entering the room.
"You're always late" lamented Nayra.
"What tag? as soon as I got out of the office I came straight here" while landing his ass on the couch. "What do you eat ?" start taking a piece of cookies and gobble them up. "Hmm.. yummy" Mila said as soon as she tried the cookies.
"Seriously? this is our new product, and it will be sold next week" Nayra said excitedly.
"But from now on I've said the cookies are delicious, still he does not believe" Irene complained.
"You're not lying, are you? I'm afraid customers will be disappointed"
"No, it's really good, it's serious" Mila replied convincingly, then picked up another piece. "Oh yeah Nay, what about Mona? Can he work here ? He wants to work after school".
"May, if you want, tomorrow too" replied Nayra.
"really right? She must have been happy" excitedly imagining Mona would be thrilled to hear this news. "But what kind of employee is Nay here ? I'm afraid he can't adapt to the people here"
"Relax, while there is me, Mona will be fine" he said firmly.
They begin to discuss their High School days, and occasionally laugh as usual.
"It doesn't feel like time is passing so fast" Irene said. "By the way, how is your relationship with Akbar now?" ask him carefully.
"What are you asking that for? of course Mila can not be reversed with Akbar" this time Nayra who immediately heard the name Akbar emotion.
"Why not?" looking at Nayra cynically. "If you are separated for a long time, you are still a compatible couple, I support you" Irene assured Mila, it makes Nayra more blood.
"What harmony? it was arbitrary to leave Mila, then now suddenly appear and act never happened anything, I do not agree, after all Akbar already have a wife" said Nayra with a raised voice.
"Akbar must have had a reason to leave Mila" the debate continued and heated up. "Oh yeah, is Akbar still his wife?" so curious about Akbar's current status.
"Gosh, I don't understand, why are you even fussing about it" Mila complained as she shook her head. "I didn't turn him back, and he's separated from his wife" Mila replied. "From now on stop talking about it"
"Hmm. okay" Irene replied.
"What about Aldo who picked you up back then ?" Irene asked curiously.
"Aldo. ummm, he's my friend, he's the son of one of the home donors, his family is in Canada" Mila replied uninspiredly.
"Do you like her? I'll agree with you with him ?" said Nayra who immediately got a sharp gaze from Mila.
"Don't! Aldo to me" Irene exclaimed in ignorance.
"Aihhh, why did you become like this?" said Nayra who was joined by laughter by the three of them. "I think you're back with Ifan" he continued.
"At first I also hoped that, but now Ifan already had a lover, and we have decided to make friends" he said put on a sad face. "Mila, it's just me and Ifan who are separated, I really want you and Akbar to be together again" he continued with hope.
"Yahh, start again" lamented Mila.
"No drama" cried Nayra.
Not felt, the sun had sunk and it was now dark that enveloped the sky, but the three of them were still busy chatting. The presence of Irene made the atmosphere more crowded, whereas Irene used to be a quiet person, but now she is the most talkative.
The sound of the door knocking was heard from outside, Nayra moved and opened the door. One of his employees was standing in front of the door.
"What's wrong?" ask Nayra.
"Sorry Mom, in front of there is a man named Mr. Aldo, he is looking for Ms. Mila" he said.
"Huh? Aldo, why is he here?" Mila who heard the name Aldo immediately moved from her seat and rushed to meet Aldo. Nayra and Irene followed him from behind.
"Aldo" reprimanded Mila to Aldo who was standing next to his car. Aldo turned his head and smiled and waved his hand at Mila and her two best friends. "Do you know where I'm from?"
Mila did not immediately reply, for a moment she looked at her two best friends. Nayra and Irene nodded, as if understanding Mila's intentions.
"All right, I'm going home first" said Mila and then got into Aldo's car.
Aldo bailed on Nayra and Irene, and then got in his car, Aldo started driving and left Nayra and Irene.
"When did Mona start school ?" aldo asked to start the conversation in the car.
"A week away" Mila replied
"Where will he go to High School?"
"SMA Pelita, my old school" Mila replied proudly.
"One of my business associates is the Director of Pelita High School, do you know him ?" aldo asked enthusiastically.
"Who ?" his forehead creased as he thought of the person Aldo meant.
"His name is Rio, he is still young" Aldo replied.
"Sister Rio "repeat Mila. "Didn't Pelita High School belong to Grandpa Rio and Akbar ? why is it that now even Kak Rio is the director, then what about Akbar?" muttered Mila in his heart.
"Yes, do you know him?"
"Yes of course, he's my senior" Mila replied.
"Then you must have known she was getting married soon, you were invited ?"
"Yes" while nodding his head.
"I also got an invitation, then we go together, I'll pick you up, okay" he said excitedly.
"But I'm going with Nayra and Irene". Mila and her two best friends have promised to go together.
"You leave with me, and we'll meet them at the show"
"But. "a little doubt.
"Of Mila, I have no one else I can take there, and I also feel reluctant if I am not present" Aldo said.
"All right" finally agreed.
They arrived in front of Mila's rented house. As soon as she got out of the car, Mila was very surprised to see Akbar standing in front of her house. Aldo got out of his car, and both approached Akbar.
"Akbar, why is it here ?" ask Mila to Akbar.
Akbar did not answer immediately, he first looked at Aldo and watched the man from toe to head. Even with Aldo, he looked at Akbar with a dislike look.
"I want to deliver this" while handing out a plastic bag containing groceries. "Mona's left in the trunk of my car" Akbar explained.
"Thank you Akbar, sorry to be troublesome" Mila said. "Oh yes, this is my friend Aldo" Mila said. Akbar and Aldo shook hands and gave each other dislike looks.
"Mila, can I have a drink? I was thirsty because I waited a while ago" said Akbar.
"Oh yes of course you can, let's go in" asked Mila.
"I was also suddenly thirsty Mila" said Aldo chiming who immediately got a cynical look from Akbar.
"Then you two please come in" Mila invited while opening the door for her two guests.
Mila invites Akbar and Aldo to sit on the guest sofa, then rush to the kitchen to make a drink. In the kitchen he meets Mona who just finished washing dishes.
"So Mila is home?" mona said
"Yes, please help Brother make him a drink" Mila said as she opened the small cupboard where she used to keep the glass.
"For whom, brother? Do we have guests"
"Yes, in front there are Akbar and Aldo ", Mila replied as she poured sugar and coffee in the two glasses she had just taken from the cupboard.
"Huh? why are they both here? " mona said in shock.
"Already, don't ask, let's quickly help sister "
Mona helps Mila pour hot water on the two glasses. Two cups of coffee are ready. Mila puts the two coffee cups in the tray and takes them to the living room, and Mona, curious about the presence of the two men in the house, follows Mila from behind.
Arriving in the living room, Mila served drinks on the table, then she sat on the sofa there, Mona also sat beside her.
Akbar and Aldo began to sip the coffee and put it back down. The situation between Akbar and Aldo looks very awkward.
"Mona, yesterday you left one of your groceries in Akbar's car, he came here to return it" Mila said trying to keep the silence between them.
"Thank you Akbar" Mona said, Akbar replied with a smile.
"Why are your groceries in his car?" aldo asked while looking at Akbar. His dislike of Akbar was obvious.
"Yesterday we accidentally met at the mall, and finally we went home to Akbar and Maxwell" Mila replied.
" Who's Maxwell?" ask Aldo curiously.
"Maxwell's son Akbar, he's so funny" Mila replied excitedly.
"Do you have a child ?" aldo said as he looked at Akbar. "So you're a father ?" continued again. The question however sounded like a mockery in Akbar's ear.
Akbar was very upset to hear it, but tried to restrain himself as much as possible. "Yes, I am indeed a father, I am the great Daddy Maxwell" Akbar replied with a sharp look at Aldo.
"Yes that's right, Akbar is a great Daddy" Mila said.
Aldo became more and more upset.
"Damn" he said in his heart.
While Akbar was smiling, he was seen smiling at one corner of his lips.
