Dian came to Anya's house in the morning. He brought a plate of fried bananas and some snacks for Anya.
The woman entered through the open kitchen door. There is Kinanti who is cooking fried rice as a breakfast menu this morning.
Dian put the food he brought on the kitchen table. Kinanti thanked.
"Where's Anya's sister, Nan?" ask Dian while wailing.
"Mandi, Ma'am." Kinanti replied while busy pouring the cooked fried rice into a large container.
"Breakfast with yuk, Ma'am," asked Kinanti. His eyes twinkled at the plate of fried bananas made by Dian that looked tantalizing. Anya once told me that Dian's fried banana is delicious.
"thank you. I'll go home first, okay? Ninda's been waiting." Said Dian.
The bathroom door is open. Anya came out slowly with a towel still wrapped around her head. Kinanti and Dian walked over.
"Dian, where's Ninda?"
"In the same house as his father. That's your favorite fried banana. Eaten up, Ma'am? I said goodbye, Ninda's been waiting."
"Thank you, Yan,"
"Come on, Mommy."
Just as Dian was about to get out, Jagat along with a handsome-looking bule man walked in from the direction of the television room. The man was about to take Anya to his room.
Dian was stunned for a moment when he saw the figure. His face was thinking hard.
"Sister, this is my neighbor Dian. He helped me a lot while I was here. And, Yan, this is my husband," Anya introduced Dian to Axton, and vice versa.
Axton nodded politely. "Thank you for taking care of my wife." Said kalem.
"Yes, you're welcome." Dian responded reflexively without taking her eyes off Axton. "But how does it seem, Mas's face is familiar huh?" tanyanya's confused. Dian did not have time to see the face of her husband while in the hospital. She and the other mothers rushed home when Kinanti asked Axton to speak somewhere.
Axton laughed awkwardly while Anya and Kinanti grimaced.
"It is very similar to the public figures that I often see on television, you know," said Dian. His eyes looked at Axton from top to bottom. "Yes, similar."
The corn opened his voice. "Like X huh, Ma'am?" tanyanya with a wicked grin.
"Loh, yes! It's like a betel in two."
Corn laughs. Anya rebuked Jagat through her eyes, then smiled at Dian.
"It's just as similar as possible." Kill Anya. He doesn't want Axton's identity to be open. Axton's reputation could go down if the public finds out he's married to Anya, though they once desperately denied the news.
But unexpectedly, Axton even extended his hand to Dian. " I'm X" he said, introducing himself.
Dian pecked. His eyes slowly glared. "HA?"
...***...
Axton helps Anya dry her hair using a hair dryer. He gently brushed off every part of his wife's hair.
"Is it okay if Dian knows Sister's identity?" ask Anya to worry.
"It's okay." Answer Axton kalem.
"Contract?"
"It's over."
"But the public knows, you're with Hana."
Axton stopped his activities for a moment. Her eyes stared at Anya's reflection from the makeup mirror. "What are you worried about?" tanyakanya.
"Everything! Especially your hard-earned career you've built." Anya. "I'll be fine if I have to hide forever."
Axton turned Anya's body to face her. "I can't deny that there will be some scorn that comes later. But it won't last long. Anyway, I'm going to slowly reduce my activities as a public figure, because I'm planning on helping Callista in the office." Axton. "So you don't have to worry." Smile expands.
"But–" was not finished Anya spoke, Axton had already turned her body facing the dressing table again. He held both shoulders. "Remember, you can't think of anything. And I want to enjoy every moment with you without worrying about anything else. You can too, right?"
Anya hesitated. Axton again combed and dried Anya's hair.
...***...
During the day Axton received a call from the owner of the car he rented. He thanked Axton greatly, because in addition to bringing the car to the workshop, he also replaced it with a unit of the latest MPV car, which had just arrived at the renter's house.
"Together, Sir. Sorry once again, I can't take you there because I have to take care of my wife." Axton.
"It's okay, son, it's okay. May my wife and son Delano be healthy? Say hello to his wife" Axton nodded and thanked him.
They talked a little longer before the tenant ended the conversation first.
Anya walked out of the house to Axton. "Have you done your business, brother?" tanyakanya.
"It." Answer Axton. He laughed a little.
"Why?" Anya frowned.
"The car owner is a middle-aged couple. He was having trouble saying my name, so I asked them to just call my middle name. It feels weird and funny, considering I'm not used to being called that."
Axton smile.
"Why is Mom outside? Can you get out of bed?" Bude Jum, Bu Ida and some neighbors came to Anya's house while carrying various kinds of food.
"Origin' not going anywhere it's okay Bude." Anya answered kindly.
"This is Anya's husband?" ask one of the neighbors. Axton greeted them politely.
"Beauty is her husband, you're like a bule." Kelakar Indah, one of Anya's famous neighbors most medok his speech dialect.
"As long as I'm here, they're the ones who've been helping me." Anya talked to Axton. Axton thanked me a lot.
"Well, that's how nice it looks. Acute, slick. Therefore, son, tomorrow-tomorrow if the work is not far away, so that Anya Mbak does not sulk until reluctant to meet until sampaan. It bothers to be. What else is up to the fight at the Hospital. It's not good to see people." Bu Ningsih's famous ceplas ceplos commented on Axton. The man kept looking at Bu Ningsih with a confused look on his face, then turned to look at Anya who pretended not to notice.
"Which way, whose name is Mas? TKI where is it? Kok looks bule gini work so TKI, mending be an artist after all, Mas." Ms. Ningsih laughed followed by the other mothers.
Axton laughed crisply while scratching his nape. He did not understand at all the meaning of Bu Ningsih's question.
"Ihh, mothers, I was left behind!" from the outside, an ABG girl ran towards Anya's house.
"This is Ma'am's take from Mom. Mom's at the market, so I'm told to go first." Ayu, the girl's name, handed A medium-sized plastic containing fruits to Anya.
"Thank you, Yu,"
"Sweep, Ma'am." His eyes turned to the figure of Axton who stood not far from Anya.
Ayu. The girl reflexively retreated her steps while shouting Axton's name out loud.
It did not take long until Anya's house was almost full because the neighbors came to each other. They are very curious about the figure of Axton up close.
"Pantes his face is familiar. We like to see Nak X here on television, you know," Axton just laughed in response to some neighborly babble.
Luckily, he lived in a good neighborhood. They kept their mouths shut without being asked. But as wages shut up, Axton must be willing to serve the demand for photos of them all.
Anya laughed amusedly at how awkward Axton was around the women who were scrambling to stand next to her.
...***...
"I'm sorry, you were a hassle earlier," Anya said a little unsightly. The neighbors came home almost in the afternoon after one of the children caught up with his mother and asked her to come home.
They are now watching television together while waiting for Kinanti, Jagat and Ian to come home. Axton asks Ian and Jagat for help to pick up their suitcases at the hotel. Kinanti come along to shop for groceries.
Axton secures himself in Anya's lap. Sometimes he stroked Anya's stomach and kissed her lightly. "I guess I enjoyed the moment. Let's just say it's a form of my gratitude to them for taking good care of you during my time as a TKI."
Anya laughed embarrassedly. He still remembers very well how the mothers were so enthusiastic about telling the identity of the husband that Anya corals on Axton. Fortunately, they understood Anya's lies.
"I'll miss them, later."
"We can still visit here. I promise I'll bring you here often."
Hearing Axton's words, Anya's countenance changed, "Certainly? Thank you,"
Axton smile. "Don't want to rest?" tanyanya.
Anya shakes. "I've been lying down for too long. My body is okay."
The mood was silent later. They focused on watching television until Axton's commercial was plastered there.
"No, as long as I'm here, I rarely watch television." Tell Anya suddenly.
"Why?" ask Axton curiously.
"Because I don't want to see your face." Anya answered honestly. "Seeing your face just makes me feel so bad. So, as much as possible I avoid all things related to you."
"But sometimes I have to watch television when Ms. Ida is with me here. Or when preparing a rice box for the children's home, like that time. From there I know, you've been hospitalized." His brown netra looked at Axton. "Is it because of me?"
Axton got up from his position. His hand stroked Anya's cheek which was already slightly filled. "No. It's just because I'm overworked." Answer lies. "We agreed not to think about unnecessary things, right?"
Anya nodded while apologizing. Axton brings Anya into his arms.
With the most gentle movement possible, Axton kissed Anya's head, then crept into the woman's forehead, eyes, nose and cheeks. Not a demanding kiss, but light kisses that are able to bring coolness in Anya's heart.
Axton's movement immediately stopped, when his lips were now only a few centimeters away from Anya's Lips.
"Can?" Axton asked permission. Anya nodded shyly before closing her eyes. Axton gave a small smile to find that the woman's cheeks had blushed.
Axton closed his eyes. The man's hand went down to Anya's back neck.
Anya could feel Axton's breath that was a little dusty.
"I love you" Axton said before landing his lips on his wife's lips.
"Ehem,"
DUAAGH!
The sound of someone's baritone makes Anya reflex kick Axton as hard as possible to fall to the opposite side.
