"Is there a problem with Kim?"
Aksa stopped feeding her tiramisu into the mouth hearing Rafael's question, but the man simply put his shoulders back and refocused on eating her.
"Kim's? Who?" Janna asked looking at the two men.
"Ituloh who became Aksa's partner when it came to our engagement."
"Ah yeah I just remembered, her name is Kimberly right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Janna looked at the prickly Aksa. "I didn't expect you to have a boyfriend as pretty as Kimberly, when you'd never been in a relationship before."
Aksa rolled her eyes lazily. "Ck she's not my boyfriend!"
"Huh? But then -"
"I lied!"
"Hhh basic!" Janna was twirling her drinking straw on the glass. "But you guys look really good on each other, Kimberly also looks like a nice lady. If he's not your girlfriend, then who?"
"Bodyguard."
Janna was surprised. "Bodyguard?"
"Hm."
"Well, Kim is a woman and how can she be your bodyguard!"
"Where do I know!"
"Bas weak, you're guarded by a woman!"
Hearing the teasing, Aksa immediately stared intently at Janna. "Hey I don't want a bodyguard either!"
"Yes, don't. You're old Aksa, you can't take care of yourself?!"
"You know what else, stubborn Mom. He always insisted on giving me bodyguard."
"But you can refuse."
"You don't know how my mother is."
Yasmin is a stubborn woman. Everything you want must be done, no rejection. Yasmin did not want to lose, as hard as Aksa refused still he would lose. Even his Daddy just got dizzy with his mother's attitude.
Given her stubbornness, returning made Aksa remember someone. Kimberly.
Aksa is out of town with Rafael and Janna, without Kimberly. Of course Aksa who refused to invite Kim, under the pretext of not being disturbed by the woman. They're on a wedding invitation from one of the school friends.
These two weeks Aksa's been cold and self-absorbed, to be honest he's always been bad. Aksa felt guilty for treating the woman as she pleased. But isn't this Kim's wish as well? Be professional. Aksa granted the woman's wish, but her heart refused.
Aksa wants to be like before, his relationship with Kim is fine. Shamelessly acting, not like now. I don't know what Kim feels, but Aksa always hopes Kim feels lost by his nature first.
"We're going home this afternoon."
"Quick that? Not going to tomorrow?"
Rafael nodded slowly. "So, you know, Janna and I are going to Singapore tomorrow morning."
"For?"
"Of course we're going on vacation."
"Heh, you're not married yet, don't be all honeymoon!"
"Ck who's gonna honeymoon Aksa." Janna. The woman did have to be extra patient to face the nature of bossi Aksa. "Me and Rafael's family are going on vacation, let's just say this is a friendship that will soon become a big family."
"How long?"
"One week."
"How long is it?!"
"Of course it's a long time ago, just imagine we were going with a big family. There must be a lot of places we'll go there."
Aksa snorted bitterly, these two of them had always cornered him. Why should Aksa have a friend like them?
"You're not gonna take me?"
"No."
"Because you're not our family!" Reply Rafael and Janna together. The two men could not hide the laughter of seeing Aksa's sour face.

Aksa went into his house that felt lonely, but when he heard a noise from the kitchen made the man feel curious. From behind Aksa knew that the woman who was cooking was his mother, slowly He walked closer and hugged Yasmin's body from behind.
"Geez!"
Yasmin turned her head to the side, looking Aksa who was resting her head on her right shoulder with a big smile. "You're making Mommy surprised!"
"Hehe's sorry."
Aksa watched the woman who was frying the chicken in a hot interview. His mother is good at cooking, even Yasmin who always cooks, while other work is given to helpers.
"Udah ah lastin, Mommy's cooking this!"
And with Aksapun forced to let go, he turned to sit at the table eating while still staring at his mother. Then one of the servants came, and offered her a drink. Aksa asked to make orange juice.
"You just arrived?" Yasmin asked to join the dining table. He gave the food to one of the servants.
"Hm."
"Where did Raphael and Janna go? Why didn't they come here first?"
"They go straight home, because tomorrow they're going to Singapore."
"Singapore? For?"
"Honeymoon."
Yasmin stared in disbelief at Aksa. "really? Keep them unmarried. Why would you want a honeymoon?"
"Don't know, he's a wayward Mom."
Aksa drank her juice while smiling cynically. He deliberately lied to his mother, how else, Aksa still hates them both. Oh God why Aksa can have a ignorant friend who likes to tease him? Sucks.
Various dishes are now available at the table, and almost all of them are Aksa's favorite food.
"Where's daddy?"
"He hasn't come home yet, maybe a little late."
Aksa nodded her head, there was actually something bothering her mind right now. From the first day he walked into the house, he didn't see anyone, Kimberly. Aksa was eager to ask her mother, but the woman would definitely tease him saying no-no. But if you don't ask, Aksa is curious.
"Ekhem where is he?"
Yasmin first stored dishes that already had rice as well as various side dishes in front of Aksa. "Who?"
"Kim."
"Ah Kim, will go."
The deg!
Aksa's heart was beating fast, although he had not heard the explanation from his mother but somehow his heart felt bad.
"meaning?"
"He's home. When you went to Depok yesterday, Kim asked Mom for permission to go home."
Aksa looked at his mother's face fixed, no lies there. Makes her worry even more upset.
"Why don't I know?"
"O yeah? Mom thought you knew." Yasmin breathed for a moment. "Yesterday even said goodbye to Mom and Dad. Mom doesn't know if Kim's coming back or not, but Mom hopes she's here again.
Even though Mom likes Kim who is your bodyguard, she is kind and polite. Speak soft and virtuous words."
'Aksa likes her too Mom, Aksa doesn't want her to go. Aksa had even fallen in love with Kim from the first time she met.'
Damn it Aksa would like to say that, but it is impossible, he can only hide it in his heart. How dare he say that to Yasmin.
"Go to the room."
"But you haven't eaten!"
Aksa ignored the words of his mother, after all he had no appetite. The man dropped his body on the bed staring at the ceiling of his empty room.
Kim left?
Wh why?
Is it because the woman is not strong enough to face the boss' attitude?
I don't know why Aksa felt so deeply sorry. Kim is gone and doesn't know if he'll come back. Even if Kim leaves, Aksa will never be ready.
