"Maos ..." I pushed Tian's body hard upon hearing Bik Lani's voice as well as Cheery's who was shrieking in shock on the other end.

Tian immediately woke up, even with me sitting on my bed.

"Sorry, Non. Aunty--" The middle-aged woman glanced at Tian for a moment.

"Bi, that was not what Bi Lani thought." Tukasku. I don't want to until Bi Lani tells Mom about it.

"I - Yes, Non." Reply staggered. In a hurry, Bi Lani cleaned the broken bowl of porridge that had fallen on the floor. The middle-aged woman became misbehaved. As for Cheery, the little girl immediately ran over to us.

"Why do you think about Aunt Naya?" Cheery asked so innocently.

Getting such a question instantly made me and Tian glance at each other before then the man answered him.

"Tadi ... Last time Papa again--" I saw Tian a little confused. But it wasn't Tian's name that the man couldn't divert the conversation. Tian very casually invited Cheery to get on the bed, then asked me to tell Cheery a story. Of course in such a way made Cheery forget what he had seen earlier.

Although I was confused myself, I was forced to bring Cheery's body to sit beside me and tell him a fairy tale. While Bik Lani, after finishing cleaning the floor the woman immediately asked permission to make her porridge back.

"It's Non, the porridge." After a few minutes of waiting, Bi Lani finally returned with a bowl of new porridge in her hand.

"Thank you Bi."

I grabbed the bowl of porridge, then began to put it bit by bit into the mouth. I deliberately didn't allow Bi Lani to come out of my room, because I didn't want to be in the same room with Tian. So I told the middle-aged woman to accompany Cheery to play first.

"Rather than you keep seeing me, mending you get Cheery there, or you can get out. Mas?" I said I didn't like it. I was uneasy as Tian continued to watch over me like that.

"Do I bother you.?" I turned my head, looking at Tian who was leaning his body against the wall by folding both his hands in front of his chest.

"Yes." Yeah." I replied ketus while melengos.

Tian chuckled. "But I want to make sure you eat the porridge to the end."

I squinted, staring at the lazy man. What happened to Tian? why lately his attitude always sucks. And again I often see Tian smiling a lot now.

Not wanting to continue to be noticed by Tian like that, I also immediately finished the porridge and drank the medicine that Bi Lani had provided before.

"Speak." He replied casually, not sparing Tian's eyes continue to watch over me.

I looked towards Bi Lani as well as Cheery who was playing the doll there. It felt impossible if I spoke to Tian in front of the two of them. So I decided to take Tian to the balcony, maybe talking there would be better than talking in the room.

"What's wrong?" Tian asked when he saw that I was silent. The man stood beside me. Staring at me now with both hands put in my pants pocket.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

I took a slow breath before I said. "Mas .. I hope this is the last time you're here."

Tian silent. And it seemed like the man was not at all bothered by what I said just now. The face that usually looks always cold, now not at all seen. Even when I was being serious about my words, Tian responded casually and gave a faint smile that made me shudder in horror.

"You hear me talking, don't you, Mas?"

"You think?"

"I'm seriously the same as I said," I glanced at Cheery, the little girl is staring at the two of us now. It seems like Cheery overheard our conversation because my voice was slightly raised.

"I can't stay close to you, Mom." Say slowly.

"Why?" Tian asked, it seems like the man was deliberately challenging me.

"Just ask, don't ever come or see me again."

"All right." Tian looked at me, even with me staring at him right now. "If that's what you want, I won't see you again." Tian smiled back.

Long time we both stared at each other, until the sound of the ringing of Tian's cell phone that made me and Tian both decided the view.

"Me and Cheery should go home now. You take a break, and don't forget to take the medicine again." Tian said after he finished receiving the phone call. Not to forget, Tian also took the time to damage the tip of my head while smiling sweetly.

"Chealing fast."

I just kept quiet, staring at the back of Tian and Cheery who almost disappeared from behind the door. But before that happened, Tian stopped his steps, then the man looked at me.

"I'm not going to see you anymore. But if Cheery wants to see you." Tian pressed his shoulders. "I can't do anything but obey his will."
