NATHAN POV
๐ธ
"Sir Nathan, here's my headline for the final assignment." The student Rina I was mentoring handed her TA to me.
We are in the library at the moment. I looked at the content of the material he gave me, and began to cross out some things that needed to be revised. The girl in front of me waited anxiously.
"It! fix what I marked."
Rina gawked as soon as she saw most of her work I scribbled. How else, it is the fact that it is. I never chose anyone for that matter.
"Sir is serious? I have to revise again?"
I just stared at him flatly, "You want to pass right? just follow it, if not revised now, then TA you will still be rejected for the trial."
Lina was still silent, very clear if she was not happy with my way. I don't give a shit. If he doesn't like it, please just throw it at Radit, the head of the department. Let him change me.
"Good, sir. Thank you." said the girl resignedly.
Lina finally left me at the library. After he left, I packed up, ready to go. Because today my course is just the morning. I have to go to Resto, to review the situation there.
Do not want the same thing to happen as a new branch in Jogja.
***
Green Resto
Geck. Tok
Someone knocked on my workroom at the Resto.
"Lake in."
Pras came into my room. He is a young man who has served as operational manager for a year. This branch in Jakarta is indeed fairly new. It opened a little over a year ago, after I married Anindira. So the total Resto Green branch is 3. First in Bandung, where I used to propose to Anindira. Then in Jakarta and Jakarta.
"Good day, sir. This is the financial report and sales this month." Pras handed me the green map.
"OKAY. Thank ye. Oh yeah, how are the employees performing?"
"So far good, sir. If you want to see, I can take you."
I thought for a second, "Hem can."
After cleaning up the important files scattered on the table, I went out of the room following Pras steps to see the resto employees. Only after this work is done can I go home in peace. Because now I have to focus, do not want events like in Jogja repeated here. In any case Anindira is my responsibility. There will soon be a new member in our family.
First, the place I reviewed first was the kitchen. See the cooks preparing the dishes. Resto Green menu provides traditional Indonesian food. Like grilled fish, grilled chicken, and others.
Once in taste enough, Pras drove me to see the performance of the waitresses. They smiled and greeted me with respect. And, I was a little surprised to see a familiar face standing among the rows of waitresses.
He smiled when I looked at him.
"You work here?"
The girl looked down, looking nervous.
"Er. yes, sir. I worked part time after I left college. Because only here can take part-time jobs."
I was silent no longer asking. Yeah, well, at Resto Green I got a part-time worker. It is solely to help students who are still in school, or college. Sometimes many of those who have fared less fortunate, and lack the cost. So they can continue their education while working.
"Oh... Work well. And don't forget the final task is done."
"Good, sir."

ANINDIRA POV
It's 7pm, but Nathan hasn't arrived yet. He usually comes home in the afternoon. Maybe the business at the restaurant is not done yet. I'm trying to understand because the branch in Jakarta hasn't been so long. Besides, he was working hard to cover his losses due to his cousin.
I was watching TV in the living room with Arsy. This afternoon, Mama and Aunt Lisa finally came home, after I stayed in the room. Actually I feel guilty for my mom, but because of Aunt Lisa's words my mood is broken.
"Mama, what color is this?" Arsy looked up at me to ask.
"Try mommy look."
It turns out that Arsy is coloring the car with a chimney on top. Maybe a school assignment.
"The smoke can be black or dark gray. Continues to the car can be like Arsy."
"If the colors are?"
"Of course, it must be pretty if there's a colorful train."
Arsy smiled broadly showing off his white milk teeth. Then continue with his activities. As for me, just staring blankly at the TV screen.
"Assynoltom..."
Nathan finally came, probably because I was daydreaming so I didn't hear the sound of his car. He also walked towards us.
"Goddessalam.."
"Hello papa's darling all. Again what is it." said Mas Nathan, he immediately threw his body on the sofa.
"Again the pa. Why papa just came home." said Arsy, while continuing to color the smoke of the car with the color of old ash.
"Papa's busy, baby. Hello dede in the stomach how's it going." this time Mas Nathan gently rubbed my stomach.
"Why is it only dede who is greeted, the mother is not?"
"Geez, look at de. Mama you are jealous of you." whispered Mas Nathan, as he brought his head closer to my stomach.
His behavior made me unable to hold back a smile. After that, Mas Nathan put his head on my lap, then pulled my hand to rub his head.
"Why, Mas?"
"What no. I'm just tired. Here's how it was for a second. Need energy."
I smiled looking at my handsome man who looked tired. He must have been busy today. There was a little dark circles in his eyes. Has Nathan been sleep deprived all this time?
"Why did you sleep there? like a kid." said Arsy, he's done his job.
"Papa's tired."
"If you're tired of sleeping in that room. Mama's gonna mind my papa. Arsy's also gonna be on my lap with Mama."
"Don't want to." refused Nathan.
"Ish papa! don't stingy. That'll be with the baby clamped if the same papa."
"No, my dad slept in my mom's lap. Not in the stomach."
I can only laugh when I see papa and this kid fighting with their mouths. Nathan insisted, unwilling to wake up. As for Arsy, he began to tug at Mas Nathan's hand so that his papa would sit up and move from my lap.
"Mas, the same child himself did not want to give up anyway." I finally joined the conversation mediating them.
"Mis simi inik sindiri kik gik ngilih. Let's just keep his son." oceh Mas Nathan, then get up and waltz up.
What's up with him?
Why is his attitude so strange?
I stared at Mas Nathan's back which was getting further away in disbelief.
Arsy's his son too, why is he so angry that I'm defending him?
"Ma, papa why the hell?" ask Arsy astonishment.
The same! I'm confused too. What's baby again?
Last Mas Nathan had morning sickness when he found out I was pregnant.
And now he's so sensitive and won't budge with his own son?
