After she finished calling Tiara, Alina finally felt calmer. His best friend was always reliable. Alina finally decided to take a nap.
When she woke up, Alina saw that Sister Sitha was already in her room cleaning the furniture.
"Mr Sitha, no need to clean up, your duty is only to accompany and watch over me right?", Alina scolded the servant.
"No papa Ma'am, I'm bored and there's no work Ma'am...",
Sitha continued her work.
Alina looked at the clock on her wrist. It turned out to be four in twenty minutes. He had also been asleep for a long time.
"Mr Sitha, can you please prepare some water for me to take a bath?"
"Yes, wait a minute..."
Sitha's mother then sped up her work, then prepared the bath water according to Alina's request. Alina then took a bath and performed the Ashar prayer.
"Mr Sitha, please bring the makeup tools that are on the table and a small mirror..."
I don't know why suddenly Alina wants to wear makeup so that her face looks more beautiful and fresh. That afternoon Alina chose to wear a soft peach-colored home dress, not the usual sleeping pajamas.
Sitha's mother brought one by one the makeup tools that Alina asked to the small table on Alina's bed.
"Are there no more Mbak?", asked Mbak Sita after bringing all that Alina asked for.
"That's enough, thank you very much..."
Alina then started applying thin makeup to her face. Alina did not want to be seen wearing excessive makeup, Alina just wanted to cover up the flaws on her face, such as acne and black stains that later became more stubborn. Alina wants to look beautiful and fresh without being seen to do excessive effort.
After being satisfied with the results of her own makeup, Alina finally told Mbak Sitha to return all her makeup tools to the makeup table.
Alina then looked at the clock on the wall.
"Sitha's sister?"
"Yes Ma'am?"
"What time does Mas Heru come home from work?"
"Sorry Mom, I don't know..."
Alina felt stupid on her own. Why would he ask such a thing to Sister Sitha? And again, since when did he have to care when Heru would come home?
But for some reason, in fact Alina was waiting for the arrival of Heru. As time passed, the sun sank and the day slowly darkened. And that wait turned into worry.
Heru's working hours should have ended at half-five in the afternoon, plus the one-hour drive should have been about half-six to six Heru was already at home. But now the clock has shown almost eight o'clock at night and Heru has not yet arrived at home. Should he call Heru to ask about her whereabouts? But Alina's self-esteem still holds her back from doing just that. Or maybe Heru was already in his room without intending to approach him? Or maybe because this morning Heru saw his picture with Dirga made him disappointed?
For some reason Alina's prejudice went wide, and when it reached its peak, Alina heard a knock on her door. Alina was very hopeful that it was Heru, but it turned out that it was Bi Siti who wanted to tell Mbak Sitha that dinner was ready.
Sitha's sister immediately came out to take Alina's dinner. But when Sister Sitha returned with a tray full of food, Alina refused.
"I'm not hungry yet, Sister Sitha just eat first, then let me take again.."
I don't know why Alina really wanted to have dinner with Heru.
Alina waited while sleepy until then there was a knock on the door of her room. Alina told Mbak Sitha to open the door and Alina was very moved when she saw Heru standing in front of her room still wearing work clothes.
"You just got home?", asked Alina as Heru audition came in and approached by her side.
"Yes, there was a pretty bad accident patient in the IGD room, so I'm taking care of it..."
"Thank God then..."
Alina was relieved to hear Heru's explanation. Though Alina had thought things out and was afraid that something bad was happening to Heru.
"How are you today? Was your day so boring?"
"Ah, yes, sorry this morning I forgot to give it to you in a hurry..."
"It's okay, I found it on the table near the bookshelf, thank you very much..."
"Oh yeah, have you had dinner?"
Alina shakes.
"Why haven't you eaten, you should have eaten on time, no need to wait for me!"
"Who is waiting for you?"
"Hahaha", Heru is convinced to see the misbehaving Alina.
"So I stopped by to buy your favorite fried kwetiau, let's eat together..."
Without waiting for Alina's reply, Heru had already stepped out to pick up the cutlery. Heru then helps to serve food to Alina.
"Sitha's sister ate too?"
Said Heru while handing over a pack of kwetiau that has not been opened. Sister Sitha only accepted it with a smile even though she was full. It is not polite to refuse the gift of people, after all, he looks tempting, maybe later he can eat it with his friends in the back.
"Thank You Heru..."
She then eats with Alina. Alina looks really good eating her dinner.
"If you like, I'll buy you that food often..."
"Don't!"
Cut Alina in a panic. Heru was astonished by Alina's reaction.
"Why?"
"Go home on time, there's no need to buy me anything..."
Well, I don't know why that's what Alina wanted. Alina felt she needed nothing but Heru to be by her side. Alina did not understand her feelings. She is like a woman who does not know herself who is addicted to the presence of Heru at her side.
"So now you're craving to be close to me?", Heru is getting more and more fond of teasing Alina.
"I don't.I just feel lonely.", though...",
Alina has been feeling lonely lately. And the presence of Heru gives its own color with his heartfelt attention.
"All right, tomorrow I'll try to get home on time. Now you better get to bed. Your body and your baby need rest, I want to rest first..."
Heru then tidied Alina's cutlery back into her room.
After Heru died, Alina washed her face and prepared to sleep.
But then Alina's phone rings. A call came in from his best friend, Tiara. Without a second thought Alina immediately picked him up.
"Assalamualaikum, what's up Tiara?"
"Greetings Walaikum, Alina, I've got the information you requested. Dirga currently works at his father's law firm, Mochtar Effendi and partners in the Astana building. Maybe you can search around there during work hours or breaks. Do you remember Mia, our high school friend? It just so happened to work there and I also got this information from him..."
"Thanks a lot Tir, I know you can always be diamdalinized!"
"Together Lin, you can contact ge anytime you need help..."
"Yoi, thank you so much Tiara..."
"same-same..."
Phone connection disconnected. Alina was determined, she would meet Dirga as soon as possible. But at least he had to wait until his body condition improved. After all, the health of the fetus is the most important at this time.
