Melati waited for Daniel to come home from work. The time has shown at 09:00, but Daniel has not yet returned. Melati fidgeted while pacing back and forth looking at the clock. Between worry and fear melts into one.
" Mommy, where the hell are you? I haven't been home yet." Ask Melati to herself.
" This is why the phone is off. A few minutes ago it was active. Where are you going." Said Melati worried.
Long wait, making Melati finally overslept.
Cekleek.
The door opened Daniel. He saw Melati sleeping on the couch. He moved Melati to the bed. He kissed his wife's forehead. After that he went to the bathroom cleaned his body and returned to his soft mattress lying on Melati.
Sun glare welcomes the arrival of the morning accompanied by the sound of birds chirping interlocked in the air.
Melati opened her eyes. He saw that he was already on the bed. She was on the couch waiting for her husband last night. Hold still. She just remembered where her husband was why she did not see her husband's whereabouts.
" She, you're in there." Call Melati in front of the bathroom.
There is no support in the bathroom. Melati opened the door. She saw no whereabouts of her husband Daniel there.
" Where is Daniel? Has he gone to the office. But no way, it's still too early to go to the office. Is he in the gym." Think Melati.
Out of the room to the gym. On the way he met his mother.
" Where are you going, son?" Ask lady Sarah.
" Want to the gym. Look at Daniel there. You see, I was looking around for Daniel wasn't in the room. So search there. Maybe he was exercising." Answer Melati.
" Daniel's gone to the office, baby. Before leaving, he smashed my mom in the kitchen and made breakfast for the farewell." Said lady Sarah.
Melati's face turned sad to hear her mother's words. I don't know why his heart was sad.
" Oh that's ma. Yes, I went to the room." Melati turned towards her room.
" That's Daniel. Why did I say the same I left. I was late last night to come home. The morning is gone again." Said Melati with a crying face.
Maybe the influence of hormones pregnant women, make jasmine a little sensitive. She missed her husband too. Especially the whole day yesterday did not meet. The next morning she did not see her husband.
While he took his cell phone, he contacted Daniel. But not active. He called Daniel's secretary.
" Hello mbak Ayu."
" Hello Melati too." Answer Ayu.
" Is Daniel there?" Ask Melati.
" Sir Daniel's in a meeting with Mel's company colleagues. Why Train?" Answer Ayu.
" Oh ngak papa. I called his phone inactive. If Daniel had finished his meeting. Ask him to call me yes." Jasmine.
" Oh yes, I will tell you." Ayu.
" was a yes. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you and interrupting your work time." Jasmine.
" No papa. I don't feel bothered." Ayu.
" I'll turn it off." Jasmine.
Melati sighed softly. He went to the room to clean his body. Afterwards he went to the dining room to join his parents for breakfast together.
The Daniel company.
" What did Melati say?" Ask Daniel.
" He asked where you were sir. Melati's mother also asked why Mr. Daniel's phone is off." Answer Ayu.
Daniel breathed his breath.
" If it wasn't this ridiculous plan, I wouldn't have ignored my wife like that. Ihhh shit. Why use a silly plan like this. I miss my wife Ayu too. I'm sure he must be thinking nothing of me." Daniel was upset.
" That's only three days, sir. So you have to be patient. If it is not certain then Dinda will be angry with the plan that he has arranged perfectly so chaotic because of the father." Ayu.
" One day I've missed so much. Especially three. I don't think I can. You know my fight to get Melati. It's hard to get her to accept me as her husband." Said Daniel.
" Yes, I know sir. Most importantly, you have prepared the gift, sir." Ayu.
" About the prize. Of course I've prepared." Said Daniel.
" I'll excuse you, sir." Ayu.
" Ayu wait a minute. I'm not that old so you always call me sir. You're making me even more upset." Daniel was upset.
" My boss is my boss. So I have to call like that." Ayu.
" I'm not your father Ayu. Me and you're old'an you Yu. If you're not talking about business don't call me that." Said Daniel.
" Okay, Daniel's brother." Ayu Ledek.
" Ayu, don't you have a boyfriend?" Ask Daniel.
" No." Answer Ayu.
" Why, you're old enough to get married." Ask Daniel.
" I don't have time to think about it." Answer Ayu.
" I had an acquaintance of a young businessman who wanted to find a wife. I'd like to introduce you to him." Said Daniel.
" I still want to be alone. If I get married how is my family fate. They've been depending on me all along. Mom is sick now and my sister will soon be going to university will definitely cost a lot. So if I got married I wouldn't have focused on them. Not to mention having a shitty in-law and brother-in-law." Ayu.
" I don't think that's an excuse. Are you traumatized by being left behind by your lover without explanation. Like my brother who was traumatized by being tricked by his brash lover." Daniel said annoyed to remember his brother's ex-lover who had cheated them.
" Where do you know. Ehhh, I mean." Ayu said in shock.
" Hahaha I'm right. All those men were not the same Yu. The proof is that my sister lost her trauma because she married Arka's sister." Said Daniel.
" That's it. I'll just check my work. From an unclear conversation with you." Ayu said out of Daniel's room.
" Hey, where are you going Ayu. I'm not done talking." Shouted Daniel. But Ayu did not listen to herself.
Daniel opens his phone which he has set to airplane mode. He saw a beautiful picture of Melati there.
" You're so pretty, baby. Miss you. Just be patient soon." Daniel stroked his phone.
