When the wall clock was showing at 1 am, Felix's eyes did not feel drowsiness at all. Already at 8 p.m., he was sitting in a chair staring at his laptop screen. Indeed, the national exam that he will live will come soon, but that is not why he stared at the laptop screen to study. He was reassuring himself about the place he was going to go to for a higher education. Yeah, University.
Still feeling doubtful about the choice he had long craved long before meeting with Ala. It took him hours to find information elsewhere, another reserve university. But back again, his heart was still adrift on the University of his previous choice.
Plus his father has promised not to interfere in his affairs about entering into which University. But in Felix's heart there is still unrest that he cannot reveal to Ala.
For a moment he leaned his back against the chair. Already many days ago, the problem with Hilda was already resolved. In the span of a few days, Ala always slipped the lecture for hours amid their quality time. Half of his talk he remembered, and the other half he threw into the trash because it was only a mere scolding.
Felix smiled slightly as he recalled the lecture given by his wife. It seemed to turn his attention slightly to the unrest about the future.
"Makanya, if it is not love, do not be given more attention. Turn in a confused pursuit, say he does not want. If so, who is difficult? It's yourself, isn't it?"
That was just one of the words that Ala had uttered. And that sentence is what he remembers most. It is true, without him knowing sometimes he pays attention to the girls who make them think they still have hope to occupy a position in Felix's heart.
In fact, Felix has that kind of personality. He's kind to the people who are nice to him. But that doesn't mean it's because of love.
Felix's mouth evaporated, his eyes starting to feel heavy. Signs of sleepiness begin to attack. Then he looked at his wife who had been asleep. He moved from his seat, deciding to accompany his wife to dream. Let him think about the future tomorrow. He didn't want his mind to get too fixated on it.

Alarm hape already rang, Felix wriggling behind his blanket. His hand rubbed the place next to him. His eyes widened because his hands did not find the figure he was looking for. He was surprised because his wife did not usually wake up before the alarm went off. Then Felix turned off the alarm that was still ringing. Get out of bed and clean up.
As usual, Felix was ready in his school uniform. When he had gone to the dining table, his sight caught the wife who was complete with a work suit and was eating breakfast.
Felix walked over quietly and sat down in the chair next to Ala. "Beautiful morning." Greet Felix with a smile. Felix was so sure that the smile he displayed was charming.
But why was Ala just glancing and indifferent to her sweet demeanor?
"Are you okay?" Felix asked worriedly.
Ala put the spoon back. "Fel, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?"
Felix's eyebrows are tied together. He really didn't understand what he was hiding. But a second later he remembered the University. "Wait on! Don't tell me you're talking about the University."
"That's it." Ala answered after gulping her water.
Ala cleaned her mouth by wiping a piece of tissue. His vision met with Felix. "If I don't see a laptop screen that you don't turn off, maybe I won't bring up this. Before you got married, your dad and I made each other a promise not to interfere in your affairs with the University."
"When? Why don't I know?" Ask Felix back. He really doesn't know about it.
"You don't need to know when, obviously, your father said that he promised you freedom of choice if you would marry me."
Felix swallowed his saliva. Felix had no idea that his papa had revealed the agreement to Ala. It really embarrassed him.
"Keep papa said what else?"
"He said, you have long wanted to study abroad majoring in sport science according to what you like. Your papa wants you to major in business and management. And after the agreement, of course your papa can't force you again to major in papa's wishes." Ala explained.
Ala sighed after seeing the look on Felix's face that looked so difficult and spoke again. "The point is your papa wants me to be sincere if you later choose to study abroad."
Felix's gaze fell down. He wanted to study abroad. Actually in Canada. Although he knew that he was weak in academics, however, he had to continue his education at the University. And majored in sports which fit his hobby.
"But I'm still considering that." Felix.
"Why are we still being considered? You have to determine that as soon as possible. Because you don't have much time, Fel! Studying abroad also requires an eligibility test." Ala explained.
"Well, if not accepted just look for a domestic university, right? Ha ha - ha.." Felix tried to laugh to break the atmosphere even though it sounded crisp.
"You don't take it lightly. It's the future, don't play games! If you want to study abroad, I can help you." Ala's voice looks fiery to convince Felix.
Felix was silent for a moment. His hand tucked Ala's hair behind his ear. "This is not about easy or not to enter the University abroad. The old me might not hesitate to get ready soon, but now? It's a heavy thing."
Ala's forehead frowned. "What's heavy?"
Felix stared at the watch that was coiled around his wrist. "Hm.. At 7 and a half, I went to school. We'll talk about that again."
Inner Ala held back a laugh. If it's another couple, the man will be willing to go to work. But her husband decided to go to school. Ah, Ala doesn't know what to say.
