This morning finished Sheila's morning prayers to the kitchen, cooking for breakfast. Steven was still banned but Sheila managed to convince Steven that he was okay.
Steven came home last night at nine. Danny and Lusia return home after the Maghreb with the doctor Kania as promised will come to check directly on Sheila's wounds. Sheila also warned Danny and Lucia not to discuss the problem with Steven and not to corner Steven. Act as if they both know nothing. It's all Sheila and Steven's deal, and so are the consequences.
Sheila tried to act ordinary, even though her heart still felt a little tight. Busying yourself with cooking may be able to eliminate that feeling of tightness, Sheila thought.
As a reliable businessman Steven certainly can feel something different from Sheila. The eyes cannot lie. There was pain even though a smile was still imprinted on Sheila's face. A forced smile, not to mention his attitude that was like wanting to dodge. But Steven himself is also confused about how to react to it.
Breakfast was in silence. This time Steven ate his food. There is a relief of its own felt Sheila, it turns out that her husband really likes his cooking.
"Let's Bik Lastri finish. Your wound hasn't been treated, has it? Let me take it first," said Steven stopping Sheila who was about to clean the dinner table.
Sheila did not argue. He simply smiled as he nodded, then followed Steven's steps into the room. Sheila then sits on the sofa while Steven picks up the medicine box.
"Let me alone mas, I can," Sheila refused subtly as she wanted to take the medicine box out of Steven's hand.
"I did," Steven paused to keep the medicine box out of Sheila's reach.
Sheila nodded but kept on complying.
"That on the forehead already want to dry mas, do not need to be used gauze, just plaster. Semalem kak Kania also said that."
"Hm. Semalem kak Kania himself?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"The same cirain Ken. Kania can't drive. Kasian's coming home."
"Sister Kania with Danny and Lusia mas."
"Danny's the same Lucia back here?" ask Steven.
"Yes. Lusia's HP missed, he forgot his HP was charged here," Sheila replied not wanting to hide anything from Steven.
In his heart Steven admired the calm attitude of Sheila who was willing to tell the truth after earlier he provoked the problem of Kania who could not drive. Last night Danny sent a chat to Steven telling him to come home soon when his business with Nila was done, Kasian Sheila was alone. But last night Sheila didn't tell me that Danny was coming back to their apartment.
Steven still doesn't go to the office today. He does his work from home. Someone knocked on the apartment door. Bik Lastri who opened the door was a little surprised because his guest just barged in. Turns out it was Max and Leon, with Danny and Ken tailing behind him.
"Sheila," Max called worriedly half ran over to Sheila who was sitting on the sofa.
"Sister Max? Brother Leon?" Sheila was shocked by the arrival of her two brothers.
"Lo ain't pa-pa is shei?" max asked worriedly after hugging his sister.
"I don't pa-pa kok brother."
"Why don't you know Shei's sister?" it was Leon's turn to hug Sheila while asking.
"Sheila doesn't want to make Dad worry about you, Mother."
"Sorry Shei, Lo's sister fucked me so I had to tell her. Look at my handsome face until I get bogeman brother Lo," Danny.
"God. Brother Max habits ah, impatient, emotional. It's Danny, '" Sheila said glaring at Max.
Max could only grin while scratching his non-itchy nape. "Sorry to me."
"We suspect Shei, you're being connected very hard. Meeting this afternoon also Steven can not come and there are only the two of them. We believe something must be wrong" Leon said.
"Sorry brother."
Max turned to Steven and immediately gripped his shirt.
"Why do you get this? Can you take care of me?" ask Max emotions.
Steven just kept quiet, he understood Max's worries. Sheila immediately broke up and released Max's hand from Steven.
"No already. Don't mistake Steven. Steven took good care of Sheila."
"What's well-guarded if you're looking for is Shei's gini," Max said, touching a cut on Sheila's forehead and corners.
"It's precisely because Steven has tried to protect Sheila well, brother. From the beginning, Steven was suspicious of Alex, so Steven gave Sheila a GPS clock. And Steven was finally able to get Sheila on time because it was a sis," Sheila explained in defense of her husband.
"Sorry if I still can't take good care of Sheila. I admit I was lost. But I promise next time I'll be even more vigilant" Steven said.
"Sister, already. Sit down first yuk everyone, let the emotions subside," Sheila invited.
The six of them sat on the sofa.
"Bik Lastri please make a cold drink yes, all the chocolate cake in the refrigerator," Sheila told Bik Lastri.
"I made a cake, brother, right?"
"You dong, you miss the same chocolate cake made Lo, too" said Max with sparkling eyes.
"But it's not so, Max made a mistake today," sheila pretended to be gluttonous.
"Well, don't dong Shei," said Max. He then faced Danny, "And I'm sorry I hit you earlier."
Then turn to Steven, "Steve I'm sorry I'm angry with you."
Turn again to Sheila, "Tuh, no. I'm sorry. For the cake, please..."
"Mmm, how is it?"
"Shey, please..."
"Yes yes, I saw Max as well" Sheila said, laughing.
"For the sake of chocolate cake Lo I'm willing to do anything."
They all laughed together. But Steven could see some relief on Max's face. Yes, Steven knows Max deliberately did this silliness to be able to see Sheila laugh.
"Other times if there's anything immediately tell us Steve," Leon said.
"Surely," replied Steven steadily.
"We promise we won't immediately tell Daddy Mother, that's also the reason you're staying here while, so the parents don't worry."
Steven nodded his head while smiling lightly. Then Bik Lastri came with drinks and cakes.
"Well, I swear this is so good" Danny said after tasting the cake.
"What I said," replied Max.
"Pantes aja Max until willing to do anything, worth it for the sake of cake as delicious as this," Ken added.
"What the hell are you guys, don't overdo it," Sheila replied.
They continued chatting while enjoying the cake. A moment later,
"Max, Yon, you guys continue to talk to Sheila. There are some work issues that I want to discuss with Danny and Ken. I live in the study first, yes" said Steven.
"Okay Steve," Max and Leon reply.
Steven, Danny and Ken leave Sheila, Max and Leon in the living room and head to Steven's study.
Long enough Sheila, Max and Leon chat, treating their longing for each other. Suddenly Max turned serious and asked Sheila,
"Shei, Lo is fine, right?"
"I'm fine, brother, as you see yourself."
"Is Lo happy with this marriage Shei?" ask Max again with a serious look.
Sheila was silent for a moment but then smiled. "What's not talking about? Of course I'm happy brother."
"Don't lie to us Shei, we know that you're not married out of love. I don't know why you two accepted this match," Leon said.
"Sister, maybe we did get married without any basis of love. But really, Sheila is happy now sister. Steven was very good with Sheila. He always took care of and protected Sheila. Steven is also very concerned about Sheila, she always meets all Sheila's needs," Sheila said trying to convince her two brothers.
"Lo no longer lies to us, does Shei let us not worry?" ask Max reassuringly.
"Yes not my brother. I don't know Sheila, either. Why would Sheila lie."
"Steven doesn't have a relationship with other women does Shei? His old girlfriend was probably," asked Leon.
"What the hell, sister, yeah. Steven is married to me, cook yes he still has a relationship with other women. It is not possible, brother. Steven has a lot of respect for our marriage."
"Are you serious, right Shei?" ask Leon again.
"Yes, really. Don't worry too much for no reason. Sheila is happy, Steven is very good with Sheila," Sheila replied more convincingly with a smile.
Without them realizing it turned out that Steven heard their conversation. Steven was about to take the water to the kitchen and stopped when he heard Max ask Sheila earlier.
Deep down Steven felt insinuated. Sheila covered reality so well in front of her two older sisters. Sheila even praised Steven to such an extent. There was a bit of guilt in Steven's heart feeling that he had been unfair to Sheila. Sheila protected her so well in front of her two brothers.
