Erik slowly turned his head, seeing what made Ghea blanch his face.
Nina stood five steps away from the two of them, she had just walked out of the meeting room.
"Oh ... heeii again why, would you like to use the meeting room?. Well, but we booked first, I just got ready. But just for a moment," said Nina calm down.
Ghea and Erik just shook their heads nervously.
"Well, I went back to the room first .. byee." Nina turned around while waving her hand.
Erik and Ghea fell silent again, both thinking about whether their conversation was heard by Nina?
Especially Erik, after last night Nina looked at him suspiciously now she was caught with Ghea in the corner of a quiet hallway and just the two of her.
Ghea passed from before Erik without speaking.
"Ghea ...." Erik goes back to chasing trying to stop him.
Ghea turned around quickly, "What else does Rik?, what do you want?, you want everyone in this office to accuse me of being a snatcher of people's husbands?" Ghea said full of pressure but in a quiet voice, then walked away again.
Erik did not try to chase anymore, he fell silent thinking about what Ghea had just said. Yes, what does he really want from Ghea?. It should be Ghea who was angry and sued him, but the opposite happened.
In the afternoon before leaving the office, everyone seemed to be preparing to go together to the hospital where Ghea was treated.
All came without exception, including Ghea.
Lea's eyes sparkled to see all of her husband's coworkers coming to see her.
Just this time he had a chance to meet in person after almost more than half a year of work.
"Congratulations, Miss Lea, for the birth of her daughter" Mr. Danu, the chairman, opened the conversation. "I'm sorry we've been so bustling that we didn't bother."
"It's okay, sir, I'm really happy to meet my husband's friends. Usually just part of the story," said Lea with a big smile.
Erik began to introduce one by one his colleagues, "Lea, this is Mr. Danu our department manager, then this is Mr. Rustam the most senior among us." Mr. Danu and Mr. Rustam nodded politely.
"The two sat down were Febri and Ardian." The two pairs of lovebirds replied with a wave of hands.
"It's Dio who's the noisiest, but if he ain't no room as quiet as a grave." All chuckled as Dio gave a distant kiss to Lea who instantly got a small pinch from Masha on her waist.
"While the frown is called Masha, he says he doesn't like Dio but is jealous that Dio is near another girl." Dio who heard it immediately smiled pongah and nodded excitedly.
"Then this ...." His eyes stopped on Ghea who was standing a little far behind the others, looking at him with a sad look.
"... His name is Ghea, our head of design team." Erik's voice was blocked when he introduced Ghea to Lea.
Leah gave her sweetest smile to everyone her husband introduced, including Ghea.
Next a boisterous sound of laughter was heard in the room.
Mr. Rustam and Mr. Danu chatted a little seriously in the corner of the room. The much younger men including Erik, were jokingly teasing each other. Febri and Masha chose to listen to Lea talk about pregnancy and childbirth, while Ghea sat quietly beside the baby's bed.
Occasionally Erik glanced at Ghea who was still silent to see his sleeping son. There was an uncomfortable feeling of seeing two women who had special stories with him in one room.
Is this what it feels like to be double?, is this what it feels like to play with fire?
Erik did not expect at all, he would be trapped in a complicated story that he often heard from films and news.
While greeting, nodding and smiling Nina stepped closer to Lea's bed.
"Gosipin what aunty," asked Nina teasing Febri and Masha.
"Nih, Febri already wants to have a baby she said .. ask immediately in the halalin," cried Masha a little loudly aimed at Ardi.
"Apaan anyway, you were the one from earlier very excited to ask Lea. Which pain the first night or childbirth, use what position to immediately fill?" elak Febri with a flushed face, Ardi just smiled meaningfully knotted.
"Patience yes my dear Masha, brother must immediately apply for your savings filled again huh. Last month reduced repayment of the motor installment." Dio who replied.
"Diiiihhh .. who will apply there. Butut motor only used in cicil five years. I'm old enough to wait for that." Masha.
"Awas not too hate, later can fall in love until bucin loh." Nina laughed seductively.
As everything dissolved in laughter, Erik and Ghea only occasionally chimed in with a faint smile.
Only the two of them looked uncomfortable, this caught Nina's attention.
Nina silently watched the movements of the two of them. That afternoon at the office, actually Nina did not really hear their conversation. Only the two of them seem to be not talking about work.
Nina was very sure there was something between them. She saw Lea holding her baby laughing at the jokes of her husband's friends.
His heart was worried if later Lea found out Erik had started to look away, how Lea's condition would be.
"It's a story." Nina tries to get close to Ghea who is still looking at the sleeping Maura in Lea's arms.
Ghea just laughed softly, "If you want to be sure, but no one wants to be his father."
"Many will be like you ..your times are choosers." Nina continued.
"Sir Ghea isn't married?" ask Lea. Ghea shook her head slowly, the corner of her eyes seeing Erik watching the three of them talking from afar.
Ghea observed Erik's wife, her simple appearance was too plain with a childish face.
Lea looks more like a freshly entered female student, not worthy of holding a baby.
There was envy and jealousy in his heart, thinking of Erik who every night combined love with his wife who looked very young.
Ghea took a deep breath filling her lungs because her chest felt increasingly tight squeezing, "I am first, there is a promise," said Ghea.
"Together then. We're all saying yes, congratulations once again to papa and new mama Erik and Lea. May he be a wise old man for his beautiful daughter .. uh whose name is he?" Danu asked Erik.
"Star of Maura Anersa," answered Erik proudly.
"What does that mean," asked Febri enthusiastically.
"If the star of my name is Star Amalea, his Maura from the name of the movie character who likes Erik's brother, if anersa said of .. son erik saputra." A boisterous voice laughed seductively as Lea ended her explanation.
Only Ghea looked more and more grim on her face. Nina noticed Ghea's change in face and patted her shoulder softly, "Why?" Ghea was surprised and immediately shook his head nervously.
