It felt like Ayline wanted to scream inwardly. It was morning but his patience was tested.
“Yes God, strengthen me. Please give me patience,” muttered Ayline softly as he looked from afar at the figure of a woman he never expected to see in his magnificent home.
“Why stop?” oswald asked as Ayline did not push her wheelchair.
Ayline didn't hear Oswald. He was busy with his daydreams. He thought, is it possible if he and Oswald can just turn around? Breakfast in the room might be better. But, it seemed that his wish was too late. Doctor Siska who realized the whereabouts of the couple was already standing up to greet the Master and Lady of the house.
“Ay!” oswald scolded when Ayline was still unmoved. His wife did not even answer his question.
“Eh, why?” ask Ayline.
“What are you doing? Why stop?” ask Oswald back to Ayline.
Ayline shook his head, then without answering Oswald's question he resumed his steps towards the dining table.
“Good Morning, Mr. Oswald,” greet Doctor Siska kindly with her sweet smile.
Oswald simply nodded in response to Doctor Siska's greeting.
“Wah, did we get a surprise in the morning?” ask Ayline the circus to Doctor Siska.
“Good morning, Mrs Ayline.” It was obvious that he had to say hello to Ayline.
“Surprise? Looks like I got a surprise in the morning from Mr. Oswald,” he said forcing his laughter.
While Ayline immediately turned to her husband. His gaze was sharp, asking for an explanation of what Doctor Siska had just said.
“Really?” ayline asked as he sat himself in the seat next to Oswlad's wheelchair.
“Mr Oswald's phone call in the morning was like a surprise to me,” Doctor Siska replied with a warm look at Oswald.
Doctor Siska's reply made something rumble in Ayline's heart. Her husband's personal doctor, really provoked her emotions. Ayline tried to temper her anger.
Don't lure Ayline, don't embarrass yourself. The spell that continued to be spoken in Ayline's heart.
Oswald, who did not want his day to start badly, immediately mediated by explaining to his wife. “Today I'm going to the factory early. That's why I asked Doctor Siska to come early,” he explained.
Doctor Siska who did not want his efforts to make Ayline upset in vain, immediately interjected. “And it makes me so flattered. You called me directly and invited breakfast together,” he said.
Under the table, Ayline clenched both of her hands over her thighs to make them invisible to Oswald and Doctor Siska. “You deserve to be flattered, Doctor. My husband used to send his assistant for such little things,” Ayline replied.
Doctor Siska just smiled awkwardly. The insolent! He deliberately underestimated me, Doctor Siska growled inwardly.
Despite her bad mood due to her husband's actions, Ayline still serves Oswald well. He painstakingly prepared breakfast on Oswald's plate. Not to forget, he also made sure Oswald spent herbal drinks and took drugs that had been prescribed by the doctor.
...…...
After breakfast, Oswald began his therapy sessions. Ayline patiently accompanied Oswald on the therapy session this morning. Ayline admitted, Doctor Siska does look very competent when doing his job. The therapy he did today is manual therapy with the aim that the muscles will be more relaxed and reduce swelling in some parts.
At first all ordinary, Ayline chose to read a book while waiting for Oswald to finish his therapy session. However, talks between Doctor Siska and her husband that initially only revolved around therapy over time led to a more personal direction.
It all started when Doctor Siska asked if this was the first time Oswald had visited Lando City. ”Then, when I was a teenager I came to town with Mommy and Daddy,” replied Oswald who Ayline could hear.
Ayline no longer focused on her reading. Although his face and gaze were fixed on the book he had read, his focus was on what Doctor Siska and Oswald were talking about.
The two seemed to be engrossed in talking about a restaurant that serves typical Lando City food. Doctor Siska was so excited about the tourist attractions in Lando City that he said Oswald must visit.
“Look, Mister,” said Doctor Siska while showing something on his phone.
“Good right?” tanyanya asked Oswald for his opinion. “The view is still very beautiful and beautiful. You will not be able to find scenery like this anywhere else,” said Doctor Siska excited.
“You're right. I have to go there sometime. You can also come, you can be our tour guide,” Oswald said followed by a laugh.
Brak! Ayline placed the book roughly onto the table. He could no longer bear to see the behavior of the two. Ayline felt angry because her existence was like it was not considered.
“I'll go to the room and get ready. I want to come with you to the factory!” said Ayline as she passed out of the room. It seemed she could not see the closeness of her husband and the flirtatious Doctor.
...…...
Being in the factory, it felt like Ayline could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After the incident during therapy this morning, Ayline tried to be indifferent to Oswald. He didn't say much except when Oswald first started talking to him.
“I want to get around the factory,” said Ayline.
“Good. But don't go too far, I'm afraid you'll get lost,” recalls Oswald.
“I'm not a child. I know where I'm going,” Ayline replied and left Oswald's room.
The goal now is to find Syila. It was not difficult to find the woman, when Ayline said if he was looking for a child from Mr. Albert then the employee he asked immediately drove Ayline to Syila's room.
How shocked Ayline was. He thought, even though Syila worked in a factory, maybe the woman worked in the admin staff section apparently did not. Syila was one of hundreds of laborers who worked in the packing section.
“Syila,” call Ayline.
“Mistress?!” Syila was quite surprised by Ayline's presence.
“From!” get Ayline. “I want to talk to you alone,”.
Everyone knows who Ayline is, so no one dares to ban him when he calls Syila during business hours.
“What's the Madam?” ask Syila respectfully.
“Syila, earlier I was sorry. Not that I want to interfere in your affairs, but I'm really curious.”
Both of Syila's brows furrowed, she could not guess what Ayline really wanted. “Marketing? What makes you curious, Madam?”
“I-it .. about your lover,” said Ayline hesitate.
“My love? I don't have a lover, Madam.”
Ayline laughs. “True too, yes. I mean, the guy you talked to on the video call yesterday. Your close friend is you,” explained Ayline.
“Oh .. Good!” exclamation Syila.
“Good? What's good?” ask Ayline.
“Good, the guy. The man's name is Good, Madam,” obviously Syila makes Ayline laugh more because he did not understand.
“What's with Nice, Mistress?” ask Syila.
“You said he wasn't real. But, you even talked to him on the phone. You know his name too. Why do you say he's not real?”
Now replace the laughing Syila. He did not expect if his original speech managed to disturb the mind of his Madam.
“That's because I never met him,” Syila replied.
Ayline is confused. “Syila, sorry yes. I seem to be getting curious. Can you explain it to me?”
