Farel was sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked at Niki's back who was behind him. She wanted to hug the little body, but she tried to hold it. For him Niki is not yet an adult, it is not time to know an intimate adult relationship. He will be very patient waiting for the time to come, for the sake of a healthy relationship.
The trauma of the previous household, made Farel very careful in treating his wife. But he forgot that Niki is a woman who is quite mature and has feelings of sensitivity. Niki is not a child, she is mature enough to know what a married couple should do.
"Why are the lights turned off?" Farel frowned as Niki stood up and pressed the light switch that was on his desk.
"Sir Farel sleeps, I can use this table lamp," said Niki without looking at her husband, "Ga wait, I can't even concentrate when seen. If Mr. Farel is sitting there, I better do the task in the living room, just" continued Niki. He still felt Farel's gaze piercing through his back.
"Just do it here, I won't bother you. I'm sleeping first." Farel rubbed Niki's head before going up to the bed.
The sound of a creaking bed indicates that Farel is lying on top of it. Silently, Niki wiped her tears. It hurts to be rejected, to feel played and unwanted. Niki's self-confidence is lost, she feels unwanted by her husband, she feels not beautiful and attractive anymore.
In the morning, Niki is helped by Farel to clean up his belongings that will be taken to the house where Marisa lives. They will stay there for a while until the baby conceived by his ex-wife is born. As long as Farel will continue to pursue Galih to take responsibility, at least that is Farel's promise to him.
"You have a quiz schedule today, right? Later let me tidy up the goods, you just go to college," said Farel after raising his last suitcase.
"Can't I go to Marisa's?"
"It's not okay, Niki, you'll live there anyway. I mean, let's not get you out of college." Farel said very softly, he knew Niki from last night was very sensitive to anything he said.
"Whatever." Niki got into the car and slightly knocked down the door. Farel could only take a breath and was grateful Mama and Marisa were still inside the apartment not seeing their debate.
"All that?" farel asked Mama and Marisa who had just come out of the apartment door.
"I'm sorry it was a bit dizzy" complained Marisa.
Not far away from the gate of the apartment, Marisa took Farel's shoulder, "Rel, stop for a while."
"Why?" farel asked as he glanced at Marisa from the rearview mirror.
"The feeling of vomiting" said Marisa stuck while closing her mouth.
Farel slowed down the speed of his vehicle and immediately pulled over the car when the roadway looked quiet. Without warning, Marisa got out of the car and squatted down on the grass. Farel came down and stood behind Marisa. When his ex-wife struggled to get her bowels out, his hands spontaneously helped massage Marisa's nape.
"Patience, not always what we see is true." Mama Farel rubbed Niki's shoulders as the girl turned her face to see Farel's closeness to his ex-wife.
"Pak Farel is still in love with Mba Marisa, I want to separate," tweeted Niki.
"Don't think like that, Mama prefers Niki to be Mama's daughter-in-law. Trust Mama, Farel love Niki." Mama embraces Niki from behind, she trains as well as amused to hear her daughter-in-law venting like a child.
Instead of being happy to hear her father-in-law's words, Niki's tears trickled down as she said the feelings Farel had for her were dear. That was not what Niki wanted, the affection for him was nothing more than a brother to his sister. The affection given by his parents was more than enough, no need from Farel anymore. She only wanted love from her husband, and she had never felt it.
Suddenly the car door next to Niki sat open, "Niki, sorry .. can I change seats with Marisa?"
