NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)

NDA - 3-P

"How's Dam? That's good for your future" Mr. Anton sat on Adam's couch just handed over the study abroad offer. His eyes looked in amazement around the workspace that was arranged so nicely.

Adam glanced at his superior at a glance from behind the sheets he was reading. Architects school in Frankfurt, Germany.

"Why did you offer this to me?"

"Because I think you have potential. Doesn't it hurt to be sharpened in the right place? Why why anyway? You mind?"

Adam shook his head slowly. "Not so, sir," he tidied the sheets and put them on the table. "But.." he didn't continue his sentence. It's hard to make that decision now.

There were some things he had to consider so as not to go wrong. One of the main reasons is Selenia. If he goes to Frankfurt, what about him? He couldn't have taken Selenia there or left her here. Selenia's father had entrusted her only child to her, right?

Although the condition of their marriage is not like a married couple in general, but whatever it is, Selenia is still a wife for Adam. He couldn't possibly make a unilateral decision, without negotiating first with Selenia.

"But why?" Mr. Anton scrunched his forehead. "Aren't you interested in these kinds of things?"

Nothing has changed. Adam is still very interested in such an offer. It's just that he can't possibly tell Mr. Anton the real reason. His boss never knew he was married. The people in this office nobody knows.

"I just can't decide yet sir. Can I think about it first?" answer Adam then.

Mr. Anton smiled. "There's no rush, Dam. There is still about 7-8 months left for you to think about it carefully," he then moved from his seat. Before he left the room, he added. "I hope you didn't waste this opportunity. Because as I know, there are opportunities that only come once."

After Mr. Anton's death, Adam re-opened the file and read it carefully. It is true, this offer is a very good offer for the future of his career.

Arrghghh!!

Why didn't such a good opportunity come 5 months ago? or at least a year ago? For sure he will immediately accept without the need to think long. Why just now?

Adam confused. He's dilemma. His heart and head clashed against each other. His logic was asking Adam to leave, while his heart asked him to stay.

What if the opportunity never comes again?

Aghhh! Adam squeezed his hair. The good opportunity that should make him happy, now even makes him confused.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Selenia was surprised when she came home from school and found her husband's car at home. It's not usual for Adam to come home so soon. So once out of the car, Selenia immediately rushed into the kitchen and met Bi Iyah who was making herbal tea. From a distance Selenia's nose had already smelled the herbal tea.

"Sir Adam's home, huh bik?"

"Yes Non, just went upstairs. I think Mr. Adam is sick. You see that aunt saw his face pale, and he asked aunt to make this."

Selenia's forehead frowned. Adam sick? What pain? Didn't he look okay last night? Selenia knows Adam's a hardworker. So surely he wouldn't have come home so soon if he just felt a little unwell.

Suddenly a strange feeling emerged from the heart of another Selenia. A heart that has been empty because it has never felt it. Worry and care. He feared that Adam might suffer from a serious illness that he had never known. She had been a fool all along with everything related to her husband.

Yeah, that marriage she never wanted made her not know what to do with Adam. Not a fool actually. Selenia only felt awkward and clumsy every time she faced her husband. That was why he had always kept his distance and behaved indifferently.

Selenia is still an ordinary human being who has a normal mind. Sometimes he thought, he and Adam were a couple, living one roof but like strangers. There was never an intimate conversation between the two. Never talk, just meet rarely. Adam always leaves for the office earlier than Selenia leaves for school. Likewise at night - where they should be able to spend a lot of time adapting to each other - Adam always comes home late at night when Selenia is asleep. The two of them were really just busy with their respective affairs.

"Sir, may I take this to Mr. Adam's room?" Selenia pointed at the herbal tea in Bi Iyah's hands. Although her heart was uncertain, but only in this way could she enter Adam's room and confirm the state of her husband.

Bi Iyah looked in surprise then smiled towards Selenia. He's not dreaming, is he? Is the woman going to serve her husband?

Selenia received it carefully and directly brought it upstairs.

His heart beat rapidly as he arrived in front of Adam's room. As usual, the door was always closed.

Tok tok!

Selenia knocked on Adam's bedroom door.

"Come in the bik! not locked," said a voice from the inside.

Selenia rolled her eyeballs. In his heart he grumbled to hear the answer from inside the room. It's good that he calls me Bibik, his grunts. But it is not wrong if Adam thought that the one who knocked on the door was Bi Iyah. Because all this time who often serves the needs of him is indeed Bi Iyah.

Selenia opened the door with her elbow. Seeing who had entered his room, Adam was startled and hurriedly got up from the bed. He looks like he's still wearing his work shirt. Selenia's eyes glanced at Adam's usual black suit to the office lying on the edge of the bed.

"Eh... S-Cell... Ma'af, I thought it was a bibik" Adam said.

Selenia smiled knot. This was the first time she had walked into her husband's room since the two of them moved here. Inwardly, Selenia admired the order of her room. Neat, clean, fragrant and modern. Adam was an architect who had a name. Actually, not only Adam's room was designed so nicely. Everything in this house from the shape of the building to the layout is his personal design.

"Why are you home?" Adam sat on the edge of his bed.

It was true what Bi Iyah said. Adam's face was pale.

"I always go home at this hour" replied Selenia flatly. "Why did you go home alone?"

"Yes. I'm not feeling well enough so go home early" Adam replied, massaging his forehead.

Selenia put the herbal tea on the nightstand next to Adam's bed. His eyes glanced at the sheet on the edge of the nightstand and read it at a glance.

Study offers in Frankfurt?

"Thank you for the tea."

"So my aunt made it."

Adam smiled at the smile. "Thank you for bringing me here."

Selenia nodded. "Yes, if so I go out first. Hope it heals quickly, "Selenia turned around. But as he was about to step up, he felt that his arm was being held back.

"Cell..." Adam intends to tell about Mr. Anton's offer - he wants to ask for an opinion. That was what today had thrown his mind into chaos. That good offer made him dizzy as he also had to think about the myriad consequences if he wanted to accept it. But when he saw Selenia's haggard face, he chose to undo his intentions. It was heartless to make Selenia have to come think about this.

"What's wrong?" selenia asked curiously because Adam did not continue his sentence.

"No pa-pa," Adam releases Selenia's arm. "Yes, you have rested first."

Adam's body is hot. Selenia could feel from the hand that had just grasped her arm. Her husband is really sick. But Selenia was too clumsy to give it more attention. So she chose to get out of the room immediately even though she was very worried about her husband's circumstances.
