Just An Illusion

Don't want to compare

Day

Inara who felt unsettled then seemed so agitated and continued pacing in the middle room area. I don't know what makes him so nervous but Inara is really afraid if he has to stay alone with Alvaro at home.

If asked about bi Lastri, he did live and sleep here, only that the maid's room was located in the back pavilion thus making their place separate. That's what adds to the anxiety in Inara from earlier.

No no no no

The sound of footsteps heard from the entrance at that time, then made Inara immediately turn towards the source of the sound. The eyes of the two then met right when Inara turned the body at that time. These are the moments feared by Inara from earlier, making the atmosphere even more awkward because between the two only contain silence.

"Sleeping dumbbells? Where's Kikan and bi Lastri?" alvaro asked breaking the silence.

"Auntie has returned to the back pavilion while Mbak Kikan came out from this afternoon, didn't Kikan already tell you mas?" inara said with a confused look because Alvaro instead asked Kikan whereabouts to him.

"really? But when? I don't feel at all that Kikan has informed me." Alvaro said as he moved closer to where Inara was.

"really mas? But Kikan really told me when he told me. Did you forget about Kikan?" inara said with an innocent look while continuing to move her legs closer to Alvaro.

Seeing Inara's innocent face at this moment certainly made Alvaro sigh longly. Alvaro is absolutely convinced that Kikan's current departure is Kikan's wits alone to bring him closer to Inara.

While Inara who saw Alvaro just silently pensive then immediately moved to take Alvaro's briefcase, but instead made Alvaro surprised by Inara's current attitude.

"What are you doing?" alvaro asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Inara who got the question was of course confused, is not usually a wife will bring her husband's bag? Then why was Alvaro still asking and staring confusedly at him?

"I just want to bring you a bag, doesn't a wife usually do that?" inara asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Hearing Inara's words certainly made Alvaro surprised, because Kikan never took care of everything about him. For Alvaro as long as Kikan is happy it is more than enough for him, besides household problems and others there is still bi Lastri who takes care of it. So Alvaro no longer needs someone to take care of him, Alvaro is used to doing everything alone without the help of others.

"The job of a wife? Ah it seems I forgot about it because it always prepares everything myself." said Alvaro in a heart that then makes Inara confused because Alvaro just silent from now on.

Inara who never got an answer then took Alvaro's briefcase, making Alvaro just silent without protest while paying attention to all the movements of Inara at this time.

"Take off your suit, so I can put it in dirty laundry" said Inara again who then made Alvaro immediately obey the words of Inara.

Inara did her duty as a wife that Kikan had never done before, making Alvaro then stunned immediately after seeing all the movements of Inara at this time.

"Would I eat or shower first? If you want to eat first I will heat the food." said Inara while stepping her feet carrying a suit and also Alvaro's briefcase.

"Why are you silent? Mr Alvaro?" said Inara who only saw Alvaro speechless without saying a word.

But the words of Inara then disperse all his daydreams instantly. Making Alvaro immediately scratch his nape that does not itch.

"I'm going to take a shower first, you don't have to bother because I can do it myself" Alvaro said then as he walked past Inara.

"So this is what it's like to be served as a husband?" alvaro said with an expanding smile on his face as he continued to move his feet towards the room to clean up.

While Inara who saw the strange behavior of Alvaro only fell silent with a confused look and wondered about Alvaro's current behavior.

"What's wrong? Isn't what I do my duty as a wife?" inara said with a confused face.

Dining table

From the direction of the stairs Alvaro was stepping his feet towards the dining table. From his place Alvaro saw Inara was so busy preparing food for him that it was past nine o'clock.

A shadow about his household life suddenly flashed in his mind making Alvaro instantly silent for a moment.

"Darling, did you cook something? I'm so hungry right now." whined Alvaro from the direction of the second floor, making Kikan who was watching television then turned his head instantly towards where Alvaro was.

"I can't even cook but you're asking me, are you really hungry? If so, I will wake up Bi Lastri to cook you something." said Kikan as he stepped closer to Alvaro at this time.

"Akh does not need it to be night, kasian right if you have to wake up bi Lastri to cook." said Alvaro then chose to hold his hunger rather than having to wake Lastri because it is his position that is already night.

"Well, if you're still hungry tell me, let's eat out later, I'm sure there's still some restos open at this hour" Kikan said.

"Of course"

Alvaro who imagined everything he had passed with Kikan, then immediately tried to shake his head violently. Alvaro really does not want to compare between Kikan and Inara at this time, whether what Inara has done but Alvaro tries as much as possible not to compare it with Kikan. Between Inara and Kikan are two different personalities and of course have different behaviors and habits, so that makes Alvaro not at all want to dispute it.

"Come and eat before going to bed, I don't know what you like so I warm it all up" Inara said as she watched Alvaro's footsteps approach her.

"Of course, I'm not a picky whatever you're prepared to eat" Alvaro said then as he moved closer to Inara at this time.
