Layla opened her seatbelt and got out of the car. They stopped right in the middle of a bridge. Layla tidied her hair in the night breeze. He approached Dinan who was standing facing the dark river. Only a part of the river is bright because it is hit by the lights of people who live on the river's lips.
“Pak!” call Layla anxiously, she is afraid that Dinan is angry with her.
“Sorry, I was wrong and put you in this position,” said Dinan slowly.
“Pak, that's not what I mean.”
“I always fire every employee who makes mistakes in the office. Maybe I should be fired too, because I made a fatal mistake,” said Dinan who made Layla swallow, “I tried to save my position, and blame you for my own mistakes. I have to be fair to this, if someone else I fired by mistake, the commissioner and shareholders are entitled to lower me because of a mistake.”
“Pak, that's not what I mean,” Layla said again.
“Maybe I will never beat dad.”
“Enough, Sir!” layla said with teary eyes.
Dinan rubbed his face rough. He was aware of one thing, everyone could easily judge the mistakes of others and dismiss them. While when himself makes a mistake, then he will try desperately to cover up the mistake, even though it will bring down others who are innocent. Like her who sacrificed Layla in this case.
“Father director at the company, what you do is for the good of the company. No one will deny and blame you for it,” Layla said again.
“We're home, La. I am ashamed to meet my father,” said Dinan who chose to get in the car. Layla's words made her feel very messed up right now.
While Layla was complaining with the circumstances, Dinan was really stubborn. Even Layla's every utterance was never heard by him. They finally broke up at Mr. Marc's house. Ah, even though Dinan wanted to meet Risa to calm her heart that was not careless. Now Layla is making herself even more unwary. All the way home, none of them spoke. Layla was afraid that if she spoke again, it would only make her own emotions because of Dinan's attitude.
Once at the apartment, Layla returned to prepare her dishes to the dining table. He prepared plates and glasses for Dinan. The girl clucked in annoyance, the food was already cold, it definitely did not taste as good as when it was warm. Just try Dinan did not take him away, they must have had dinner and did not make Layla starve stomach.
Layla's eyes glanced towards Dinan's study. Since arriving at the apartment, Dinan immediately entered his room without saying anything. Time passed, Layla was still sitting at the dining table waiting for Dinan. The man did not come out.
Layla sneered, “is she not hungry? what time have you tried?” pissed Layla.
The girl waited again, but Dinan did not leave her room. Layla finally stood up, she stepped resentfully towards Dinan's room. Without knocking on the door, Layla went inside and found Dinan daydreaming in his chair.
“Bapak is what? don't you want dinner?” asked Layla who had been holding back hunger. The clock is almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Dinan raised his head, “eat first, then sleep, I still want to be here,” said Dinan weakly.
Layla approached Dinan, “ayo eat, I do not want to take care of the sick,” Layla said grumpily.
Rough gasps came out of Dinan's mouth, “I don't need you to take care of, come out,” pinta men.
“Pak, don't think too much about my words earlier, it's just a momentary emotion,” exclaimed Layla.
“Emotion or not, I was wrong.”
“Pak, enough, if indeed it burdens the Father, it is better to be forgotten than to incriminate yourself.”
“I am also the same, Sir, from my own little one, I also bear my own burden. Now let's eat, I'm hungry,” said Layla who was still upset.
Seeing that Dinan was not moving, Layla pulled the man's arm as hard as she could to stand, “ayo, sir, do I need a bribe to eat?”
Dinan relented, Layla was stubborn as well. If the girl's wish was not fulfilled, the girl would definitely do everything possible to make it happen. Even the girl dared to ask her father to save her orphanage first.
They walked to the dining table. Layla pulls out Dinan's hand until they reach the kitchen. A moment later Layla realized that she was holding Dinan's hand. The girl fell silent and turned to Dinan. Their faces were quite close, making Layla nervous to see the serene look in Dinan's eyes. He let go of the hand Dinan held. Then throw away face.
“Sit, sir, let me get you some rice,” Layla said.
Dinan suddenly pulls Layla, he pulls the girl's chin until they look at each other again. “Ke-why, Sir?” ask Layla nervously.
Dinan brought his face closer to Layla's. His breath felt on the girl's face. Layla was getting nervous to see Dinan's face getting closer. The girl closed her eyes, resigned to what her husband was about to do.
But suddenly Dinan released his hand from Layla. “Come to eat!” dinan. He pulled out a chair and sat down to pour rice on the plate.
Layla repeatedly took a deep breath. His chest suddenly felt tight. Didn't Dinan really want to touch her? make her a real wife to that man? Layla turned around and pulled the chair. He poured rice while seeing Dinan who was greedy to enjoy his cooking.
“Taste you good, La,” praise Dinan who made Layla turn her head immediately. The girl smiled thinly.
“Finally I admit my cooking is delicious,” Layla murmured.
“Think you are good, so I don't eat out anymore, except for lunch at the office,” Dinan said.
“If you want, I can prepare provisions for the Father to the office,” Layla bargain with pleasure.
“No need to bother, it only adds to your work.”
Layla was a little disappointed, “Bapak was afraid if anyone else knew that you were married, right?” layla was trying to guess.
“That's your mind,” replied Dinan.
Layla then could only shut up. He did not want to talk at length, afraid that the problem on the road had re-emerged and made things worse. They both enjoyed dinner. During the meal, Layla repeatedly stole a glance at Dinan who was so greedy to enjoy his cooking. The girl felt something in her heart, for what happened that night.
Did Dinan who had seemed so powerful in the office in fact only weak people? Also for what happened just now, can't Layla be Dinan's wife forever? Was the man not lustful at all to himself? At least they had slept for more than two weeks, why didn't Dinan touch her at all? Was she that bad as a woman until the man who slept in bed with her for days did not lust at all touch her.
Layla threw away that thought. He remembered Bayu was very eager to touch him, fortunately he was still able to take care of himself. Maybe he needed time to melt Dinan's heart in order to be his. For Dinan to really think of her as a wife.
Unlike Layla, Dinan was busy thinking about all her work. It was also Layla's words that made her aware of one thing. He made a terrible mistake and tried to cover it up to save himself. Even so, Dinan will not retreat, he will try to get the parlour because it has spent a lot of money at the auction.
“Sir, do you want me to cook every day until we both age and die together?” ask Layla in my heart.
