γ
Aisakha blinked her eyes a few times, the air was still cool but her eyes suddenly opened. Slowly Aisakha tried to close her eyes again where knowing the rest of the sleepiness that had not gone entirely could make herself fall asleep again. Honey, after a moment of time passed, Aisakha did not seem to want to sleep anymore. Aisakha got up, sat leaning on the head of the bed while reaching out to her not-so-distant handphone on a small table by the bed.Β Strange, but not yet at 5 am. What is this ?
γ
There was a question mark on his heart. This morning was clearly not as usual, the clockwork was even still a long way to get to the number 5, really not the morning wake-up hour for an Aisakha. Aisakha asked inwardly, is there something wrong with her night ? But I remember everything going through it just fine. Before going to bed he took the time to talk to the idol, a routine that later became opium for Aisakha to do. He had to listen and make sure his lady puja was okay across the island. Then he can sleep peacefully. So if it wasn't for her lover, Nia, why did she wake up so quickly this morning, without the help of Kristo, still in the morning blind ?
γ
Aisakha watched her phone screen, reading incoming messages she might have missed while she was asleep at night, nil. There is no important message that he might forget, so it could be in the subconscious Aisakha unknowingly become a burden on the mind, disturbing his sleep.
γ
Maybe it's time I wake up, sometimes waking up not in the clock is usually not a thing that needs to be considered strange as well. Never mind.....
γ
Failing to continue her sleep, and failing to find the cause of her sudden awakening, Aisakha decided to enter her study. Open a laptop and check out his schedule today. It seems more useful than just sitting in the room thinking about something that can not be found the answer.

***************
γ
The time loop feels fast, but if you can sort Bowo activities a few hours ago, then it can be illustrated that in fact Bowo barely sleeps at all. Bowo stared at the wall clock in front of the sofa inside his room, still a long way from number 5. Still very early in the morning, even roosters who used to roost at dawn, still did not make a sound. However, Bowo had been awake since hours ago still. With a tired look and reddened eyes, Bowo was busy going back and forth in his room. Walking here and there with a scared expression, sometimes even while muttering slowly to yourself.
γ
"It's morning and I still haven't figured out the best way to get Nia out of the office without her bodyguards suspecting ". Bowo ruffled his own hair. It seemed like he was dizzy thinking of a grand plan related to Nia. Unfortunately, even though he had been contemplating all night, but the best solution had not been obtained.
γ
"I have to how ? If not today, then all will be in vain. I don't want to mourn my mistakes, everyone will hate me ". Bowo chose to sit on the long sofa in front of his bed. Tiredness pacing began to gnaw on his calf. "Oh my God, why is it so hard ". Half-collared Bowo raised his hand high. "How to persuade Nia ? Now Nia wants to, even how to take her who does not know how ? Sialllllll ". Bowo is upset with himself.
γ
***************
γ
Bi Kartik has finished displaying all the ingredients to make a breakfast menu for his small employer. The plan this morning Bibi want to make Nia Lontong Kari breakfast menu. As Bibi remembered for quite a long time she did not make Nia the menu, even though her small employer was classified as a person who liked the simple menu.
γ
"All right, we start ". Aunty cheered to herself before starting the activity of putting all the dough together into a delicious breakfast menu for Nia.
γ
"Well, the ulek spice is still on the dinner table huh ?" Just getting excited, now Auntie is shaking her own head. Somehow he could forget an important part of his cooking show this morning. Quickly Aunt walked towards the dining table, intending to pick up the refined herbs she had cultivated the night before going to bed
γ
"That's what is it ?" Aunty felt like she saw something in the dim light of the dining room. "Kok kayak people ?" And merta feather Iuk Bibi stood. His neck was cold, his feet suddenly reluctant to step. "If people, who tries ? In this house there is only me, Father, the same non ". Auntie still took the time to think. "Father in the room, the non is also above. Lah, if it's rowdy........". Aunty chose to retreat back into the kitchen. With trembling knees, Bibi tried to call her husband.
γ
"Sir.....Bapakkkk ". Aunty's slow voice that was only heard by her own ears.
γ
Aunty waited for a moment, the summoned one did not also appear. "Why didn't you come ?" Aunt is getting scared.
γ
"Sir.....Father, here.please Mother ". Aunt's voice was a little louder than the first one.
γ
Pakde appeared, out of the room with a bath towel, just as Bibi was about to sit down. Fear filled his head. Auntie's starting to panic.
γ
"Lady...". Pakde immediately hugged his aunt and helped his wife stand up.
γ
"Old coming ?" With Aunt's trembling hands hanging on Pakde's shoulders.
γ
"Why ? How come Mom is so pale ? What's up, ma'am ?"
γ
"There's robbed sir, robbed ". Aunty whispered in Pakde's ear, afraid that his voice was clearly heard by the figure at the dining table.
γ
"What ? Wow, this is not right. Mom wait here, let me take care of the robbing ". Pakde immediately took a large sharp knife used to cut meat by his wife. "Let's die and rob ". Pakde looks emotional.
γ
With the appearance of a professional security officer, Pakde began to sneak toward the dining table. Sure enough, in the dim light that morning, Pakde could see there was a man sitting while bowing his head at the dining table. Not very clear, but can be sure it is a human figure.
γ
With his right hand firmly grasped a sharp knife, while Pakde's left hand crept in search of a dining room light socket. Pakde was on full alert, and klekkkk.lamp was on, bright light filled the entire room.
γ
"Non ?" Half yelling Pakde ran towards Nia who was sitting quietly at the dining table with her head on the table with her hands folded sweetly.
γ
"Buuuuu..here ! The non ". Pakde called Auntie.
γ
Aunty was surprised, to make the level of panic increased, more than when she found there was a human figure in the presumption robbed was sitting at the dining table. Hearing the husband's voice, a bad shadow pops into Aunt's head. The shadow that his beloved employer has become a victim of crime.
γ
"Sir, that's non why ?" Aunt holds Pakde's hand tightly.
γ
"It looks like sleeping Mom ". Answer the doubt.
γ
"What sir, is sleeping ? Time is it. Never destroyed ?" Aunt saw no confidence.
γ
"Quick Mom check on the non !" Bibi immediately stepped closer to Nia who was not at all disturbed by the panic and furore of the married couple who had been with her for a long time.
γ
"Non ". Auntie touched Nia's shoulder slowly. It felt like there was movement in his hand. "Breathe ". Guman Aunty slowly.
γ
"Non..non..wake up !" Now Aunt's voice is starting to get loud.
γ
Nia looked up, opening her eyes quickly. "Loh, Auntie ?" Nia asked confusedly to find Bibi already standing next to her with Pakde.
γ
"Don't sleep here ?" Aunt looked at Nia no less confused.
γ
"Eh, yes. I fell asleep, Bi ?" Nia asked back. "Hehehe, don't realize Bi. Though it was just a drinking plan, not even sleeping ". Cenggir Nia to reduce her boredom.
γ
"Is there no problem ?" Pakde had stored back the sharp knife that had been held tightly to the kitchen. "Not usually non like this ?" Pakde looked at Nia's brown eyes seriously.
γ
Nia immediately diverted to her, it felt that Nia's heart suddenly shrank to find Pakde as if he could see deep into the depths of his heart that was in turmoil.
γ
"There is no Pakde. I was just thirsty, kept sleeping here finished drinking ". Nia's Lying.
γ
"Don't boong non ! What's up ? What disturbs non-mind ?" Pakde half urged Nia to be honest.
γ
Bowo, Pakde.all for Bowo. I kept thinking about him, his attitude suspicious as well as apprehensive. Did I cancel it to come with him later in the day? Or how is it ?
"Really, sirde, there is no problem whatsoever that disturbs my mind. Maybe because I want a presentation. So kind of muddled up ". Nia stood up, wanting to return to her room. "Already, Pakde and Aunty do not have to worry. I'm not papah koh. Really ". Smiling Nia left Pakde and Bibi who gave a look of disbelief to her.
γ
"Non ?" Aunt still had time to stop Nia's steps. "There's Pakde, there's Auntie. Do not hesitate to tell a story !"
γ
"Hehehehe. Really Bi, there's nothing. I'm sorry, I was worried about Pakde and Auntie in the morning ". Nia tried to giggle to give effect to honesty on the way of speech.
γ
"I take a shower, ready. Today I will leave early, because I have agreed with Professor Yandi and everyone in the laboratory to fix the preparation of our presentation at 8 ".
γ
Without waiting for Pakde and Bibi to answer, Nia immediately walked up the stairs back into her room.
γ
"Dad you believe that ?" Ask Auntie without looking at Pakde. Bibi was still looking at the arrangement of the stairs that Nia had passed.
γ
"No ma'am, the non obviously lied to us. Someone must have covered it up ". Answer Pakde sure.
γ
"But what, sir ? Not usually the non-kempt secret is the same as us. Or maybe the non-no longer fight with master Aisakha, the non-heavy make a story ?"
γ
"Yes, Mom ? Why do you doubt that because of that ?"
γ
"Yes could have been sir, his name is also still a period of adjustment. Maybe they misunderstood ". Aunt persisted with her own speculations

EPILOGUE.....
γ
This morning Nia woke up an hour and a half faster than usual, her eyes were poignant, her sleep was far from sound all night. Although he had forced himself to calm down, his little heart was unable to cover his restless soul. There was so much remorse for his actions to cover up Bowo's request from Aisakha. Nia hesitates, does Bowo really have no bad plans against her. But if you remember how Bowo pleaded with him last afternoon with a face of compassion and despair, Nia's conscience momentarily felt the need to help Bowo. His mind kept asking how much he believed today to go with Bowo, following the man who had clearly been the last day with a strange gait on him, embracing his shoulders and holding his fingers tight, not as usual.Β Nia's head felt throbbing, she hesitated but on one side she was curious.
γ
Not finding a way to force her eyes back to sleep, Nia chose to go down to the 1st floor. Sepi, it looks like Pakde and Bibi are still fast asleep. Finally Nia chose to gulp down a glass of warm water while sitting at the dining table. His daydreams about Bowo's figure still seem to continue. Using both hands as head-scarf pillows, Nia continued to think about how confident she would be to follow Bowo's invitation later. And all kept turning, turning and turning. Until her tired eyes closed without Nia knowing. Nia fell asleep at the dinner table.
