Imitation of Two Hearts

False Attention in Times of Crisis

Monday afternoon news of the global crisis became increasingly. News of countries declaring the crisis is increasing. Many companies are starting to prepare themselves for a crisis that will certainly affect this country.

Andre is super busy because he has to deal with foreign investors who temporarily hold their capital.Sarah Company has not been directly affected because they are only small companies that serve large corporate companies.

Like their agreement, despite their busyness they contact each other when they have time. Sarah first contacted Andre, because she knew Andre would be very busy at a time like this, because large companies like Andre would first get the impact of the crisis that struck.

‘don't forget to eat!’ message Sarah at noon

‘has dinner? Don't drink coffee! You have to rest a lot if again gini’ message Sarah at night

When it was noon when Andre was waiting for lunch, Sarah must have contacted him just asking his condition or just reminding him

Andre contacted Sarah while waiting for their lunch order.

“You're not ’papa? Your voice is so rich so tired!” sarah asked as Andre's voice sounded so tired

“so bad, Stress yes! So the body is not the spirit of”, he answered lazily while massaging between his eyes

“I'm bothering ya?” ask Sarah again

“Gak! I'm waiting to eat”

Sarah remained silent.

“Halo?” Andre thinks their phone connection is cut off

“Hmm..” answer confused want to say what

“You've had lunch?” andre tried to get spirit

“already, just now!”

Assistant Andre who was there glanced, because it seemed like Andre was not talking to Susan the super busy lover out there.

“You eat first!” he said he wanted to end the call

“OK!” Andre hung up the phone

After a week of world turmoil. Andre forgot the house they saw last week. Afternoon Friday Sarah was confused about where she wanted to go, because there was no way she would return to Andre's apartment.

‘sibuk?’ Sarah sent a message

‘meeting’ Andre replied

Sarah didn't send any more messages

‘ada what?’ ask Andre again

‘i tonight stay at the hotel, ntar if aunt ask me at your house and you again outside the city’ explained Sarah

‘home!’ reply Andre

‘gak papa, I stayed at the hotel aja’ reply again

Andre is back to focusing on the meeting

‘ntar driver I told pick up!’ reply after some time

‘don't! I took the bis’

‘kalo that I told you to pick up at terminal’ he replied again

‘not necessary!’ answer Sarah

‘please, I'm meeting again and you're happy’ replies Andre

Sarah thought, maybe he better obey Andre, maybe at this time he is stressed and does not want to add to the problem.

‘oke’ Sarah replied without saying much

When she got off the bus, Sarah walked to a small market place not far from there. He bought some food for dinner because the last time he was in Andre's apartment, there was no food for dinner. When he bought his toiletries at the minimarket he bought chamomile tea.

Sarah waited for Andre to send a contact with the driver who he said would pick her up, but for more than an hour there was no message from Andre

Andre was too focused on the meeting that night, to forget Sarah who was waiting. Sarah returned to the apartment in a taxi. He chose to wait in the lobby because he did not have the keys to Andre's apartment.

When the meeting ended, he saw the clock was showing at 09:15 p.m. Andre just remembered Sarah who he asked to wait for the driver. He also rushed to contact her.

“Sorry, I forgot!” he said without any guilt

“Its OK, I'm in the lobby!” sarah answered without feeling upset

“I sent his key code” Andre while walking back to his room

A key code message entered the apartment. Sarah entered the place again.

The apartment looks a little messy and dirty, probably because the residents are so busy this week. Sarah put her luggage in the kitchen and cleaned up the place slowly.

He again observed every photo there, cleaning it from dust.

“born rich, beautiful, smart and beloved prince, you are a very lucky woman Susan” he said smilingly looking at one picture frame Andre and Susan.

Sarah took out the soto that she bought, the sauce has been cold for too long. He did not dare to heat the food he bought for fear of making the place stink and was afraid Andre did not like it.

Sarah just behaved as ‘dia’ an imitation wife in the original house of the husband, a position as a fake wife who does not want to consider the place as part of him. Even after finishing the bath, he also returned to clean the bathroom owned by Andre.

Andre came back when the clock was almost eleven o'clock at night. He put the bag on his desk which was neat. And look around that feels very comfortable. Andre breathed a sigh of relief. It feels so comfortable to be home today.

“Sar..” call her looking for Sarah

Sarah came out of the bathroom. Seeing the new Andre coming, he looked at the clock.

“Wih... this hour just came home!” Sarah thinks Andre's work is amazing

They also sat on the sofa.

“This crisis makes me work twice as much” complained Andre back massaging his head

“In my place also began to crowded, but has not been affected sih”

“Udah to eat?” looking at Sarah while taking off her socks

“Barusan!”

“Masa?” mocking to think Sarah was lying

“I don't smell the food” Andre stood putting the socks on and taking the house slippers

“My life is done! Just bought two servings of soto, I thought you were home.” replied Sarah

Andre turned to Sarah who rubbed anti-mosquito on the legs.

“Kok no smell?” Andre was trying to find the scent of soto that Sarah said

“Quietly, just finished eating directly I wash” Sarah smiled at Andre's behavior

“Aren't you hotin ya?” Andre's a little chatty

“Iya, fear where you stink!” he clearly looked at the wry smile

“You!! yes naturally, anyways if cooking smells there must be” responds casually and back to sitting

“Sometimes there are people who do not like the place smell, rich Daren. kitchen is separated from the main room, he does not like the house that is open concept like this, because he said that the cooking will smell"

“I'm not Daren, I'm a regular, so next time I'll just. I don't mind” Andre patting Sarah's shoulder and going to the bathroom.

Sarah turned on the tv, she watched the news that was still around the crisis.

Finished bathing Andre was already wearing a casual dress. He approached Sarah who was hugging a sofa pillow and looked very sleepy. But the empty voice of Andre's stomach made him re-open his eyes. And laugh to hear it

“You haven't had dinner?” ask Sarah in between her laughter

“Tadi Just snacked during meeting” Andre responded with a cry

“You want me to heat up the soto earlier?” asked Sarah with a tantalizing expression in front of Andre

“Basic taunter!” rubbing Sarah's head

“kalo in front of mama aja diem dia” he said again reply Sarah

Sarah stood up and headed for the refrigerator. It takes out a serving of soto to heat it up. Finally Andre ate well.

“There is fortunately a wife at home, do not starve me tonight” he said finished eating while stroking the stomach full

Sarah took the finished bowl and washed it immediately. Andre just looked at Sarah's back with the sound of splashing water, whatever was on his mind, there was something different when he looked at her tonight, but he could make sure it was not a feeling of love.

“I sleepy, I first. was not strong” Sarah showed immeasurable sleepiness towards the sofa.

“Ntar I followed” said Andre
