Currently Alex, Desi, Sandra and Maya are already in the cafe which is still in the mall. The four have ordered food according to their respective choices. Alex and Desi sit side by side while Maya and Sandra sit in front of them.
"Sister, why is sister suddenly here?" Ask Sandra who was curious about the arrival of Alex who was suddenly next to her sister-in-law when she was in the cinema.
"Yes, I'm curious too." Desi asked Sandra's question. So surprised he could not even say anything more in the cinema.
"I have a meeting here." Answer Alex quickly. He had no other reason than the one he answered. The answer he thinks makes the most sense.
"Isn't it a holiday today? You're meeting on holiday?" Desi asked again who was not satisfied with Alex's answer.
"Yes. Why why anyway? Is that a problem for you?" Alex has been a little bit riled up by the various questions Desi gave.
"No." Desi replied while shaking her head. "But I'm still wondering why are you suddenly beside me?" Ask Desi again. "After all..." Desi hung up her sentence while paying attention to the appearance of Alex who was sitting next to her. "You're meeting in shorts?"
Alex was silent. He doesn't know what to answer. He did not even realize that he was still wearing casual clothes. He also noticed the clothes he was wearing on his body. He wears a white t-shirt and short jeans. Desi's question this one really makes him run out of answers. Maya can only help but laugh when her boss is asked questions by his wife. But it looks like Alex's life is slightly saved with the arrival of the menu that has come. "Have not asked much. We better eat first" said Alex, who re-examined all food orders. He had to keep full order of the food they ordered. Moreover, he had to pay attention to the food ordered by Desi. Alex doesn't want Desi until why-why if eating the wrong food. "Is this really your order?" Alex asked who was paying attention to Desi's food.
"He'em..." Desi replied while nodding her head.
Then the four ate their lunch at a cafe in the mall.
*
After lunch is over Alex invites Desi to ride home in his car. Sandra and Maya return in their own cars.
Silent. No sound came out of the mouths of the two of them. Alex is focusing on driving while Desi is seen staring at the car's glass window.
Alex glanced at the Desi grocery bag that was placed on the back bench of the car. There are two bags there. When he put it on the back bench, he accidentally saw the item that Desi bought in the mall earlier. "You bought a bathrobe?" Ask Alex who is still paying attention to the crowded streets of the Capital during holidays like this.
"He'em..." Desi replied, who still did not take her eyes off the glass window of the car she was currently riding in.
"For what? Isn't your towel home still nice?"
Alex smiled slantingly at the reply from Desi. But his attention was slightly distracted by Desi as the woman sitting next to him answered the question from him without taking her eyes off the glass window. "Where are you going after this?"
"home." Answer Desi in short words. He sighed softly while leaning his head on the cushion of the car seat. This is the eighth day of Desi becoming the wife of Alex Candra Wijaya. Eight days later he did not meet his parents. There was a deep sense of longing when he did not see the two figures who had cared for him until he was this big. Slowly he closed his eyes. Tired when he stopped himself when he had to drain some of his energy while watching the cinema.
Half an hour later...
Alex looked at the sleeping face of Desi on the bench next to him. He stopped his car when he reached his destination. He wanted to wake Desi but his hand seemed to stop when he would hold the arm of the woman who is now legally his wife.
"Sat..."
The sound of screaming that called Desi's name managed to make Desi wake up from her sleep. Alex could only help but smile as his wife was shocked by the screams from outside the car.
"Sat..."
Desi widened his eyes when he knew who was standing outside the car he was riding in. He tried to gather his consciousness while repeatedly rubbing his eyes, when a middle-aged woman was now knocking on his car door. "Mommy...?" Desi still does not believe the existence of the woman who has been pregnant for nine months now has been standing outside his car. "Alexes..." Now his gaze was on the man who was still sitting in the steering chair.
"Aren't you going downstairs while your parents are waiting for you outside the car?" Alex asked as he opened the door of his car and he immediately got out of the car. He walked over to his father-in-law and endured it.
Desi still doesn't believe Alex's words. He did not get off the car. He only thought that he had a dream when he saw his mother from outside his car and saw his father standing side by side with Alex. But the mother's scream to get herself out of the car was very real in her ear. In a hurry he opened his car door and immediately got off. His eyes were already filled with white mist as his longing for his parents had now paid off.
"Sat..." Shouted Siska, the forty-nine-year-old woman was hugging her only daughter. Longing had also infiltrated his heart when he could not see Desi for eight whole days. He also did not intend to call his favorite daughter because he was afraid that he would feel a very longing if he too often contacted his only daughter.
"Mommy..." Desi had sobbed full day in the arms of her biological mother. He still can't believe what he's going through right now. When he missed his parents so much at that time he felt grateful when Alex suddenly just drove him in the house that had been from childhood he lived.
The smile on Alex's lips returned when he saw Desi who was now happy with his family after eight days without seeing. Now he had done the right thing when he had turned his car back when Desi was sleeping in his sleep. This was already the second time when Desi answered his question in a lazy tone while in the car. As if you can read what Desi's heart said, when Desi was not eager to go home and more leaning his back on the car seat pads while sighing heavily.
