NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)

NDA -48-S

That night, Tony quietly walked into his father's study at home. The large room with lots of books, files, documents and maps was silent. He walked up to the big glass cupboard to look for something. Yeah, Tony's gonna start here. Ever since hearing Cia and Selenia's conversation back then, her mind couldn't just ignore it. If his father used to say Adam was single, why did Selenia call him her husband. Or is that just Selenia's call to Adam? As an emphasis that their relationship is not messing around?

Uh! Not likely. That's too naive. Where maybe Selenia is as serious as it is in a relationship, let alone Adam it is old for the size of a girlfriend Selenia who is still 17 years old.

Tony opens a brown-covered map with the words STAFF CV. MIGHTY ADIGUNAWA. He researched every name on the map and his search stopped when he found someone's name.

Name: Adam Lucas Prawira

Place of Birth Date: Jakarta, December 18, 1991

Last Education : .......

Not finished Tony read Adam's CV, from the outside heard the sound of a car entering the garage. Tony deftly pulled Adam's CV sheet, rolled and slipped into the shirt he was wearing. Not forgetting before he came out he returned the brown-covered map to its original place.

"Goddessahhhh..." Tony breathed a sigh of relief behind the bedroom door. Luckily he was out of the room before Mr. Anton caught him.

Renata sat in his room. His hand held onto a piece of paper while his eyes stared wistfully at Nola who was already fast asleep. She had never expected Devan - her ex-husband - to do something like this. For almost 2 years they had not met, had no communication, and suddenly now her ex-husband filed a lawsuit to ask for Nola's custody. How could he do that?

Renata cries in solitude. He was tired, sleepy, but couldn't sleep. Her day suddenly felt so heavy after she received the letter. What's he supposed to do?

Marvin comes to Cia's house and is greeted by Aldo who is playing with Chloe - her beloved cat - on the porch. This afternoon he had promised Cia to invite him to enjoy the city light of Jakarta. Cia who basically was happy to go out, the streets and kongkow immediately enthusiastic and said agreed.

"Daagh...! I walked first Ma," he shouted as he ran out of the house.

"Don't go home from Cia's mallem" said Ms. Hilma. He took his daughter to the terrace.

"Aunty night" said Marvin politely to Ms. Hilma.

"Marvin, where are you going to take Cia?" ask Bu Hilma kalem.

"Just take a walk with a aunt. I promise not to go home."

"Yes yuk Vin," asked Cia excitedly. "Daaa Mamah, mmuahh," he kissed Bu Hilma's right and left cheeks.

They both say goodbye to Bu Hilma before gliding to enjoy the city light of the Capital.

Mr. Fendi was talking to his business partner in the UK via a telephone connection downstairs. While Selenia was struggling with her PR in the room. His forehead twitched to look at the math problem in front of him. The PR that left three problems almost made him give up.

This why is it so hard?! Furious while throwing a pencil on the PR sheet. He grabs her phone and calls Cia to ask if she has done all her PR. Unfortunately, Cia did not pick up her phone at all.

Arghh! Selenia throws her phone at the table. He went to fetch water and snacks in the kitchen. That PR has to finish tonight or tomorrow he'll get a red score. Bu Ningsih, Selenia's famous math class teacher is stingy about providing value and there is rarely tolerance.

When Selenia opened the door, Adam was about to leave his own room. They looked at each other and both came out. By the way, Selenia had already forgotten about the incident at the funeral this afternoon, as Adam continued to convince her that there was nothing to worry about Renata. Selenia decided to believe it and did not want to think any further.

"Why are you there on his face?" ask Adam. He's teaching Selenia a step.

"PR is very difficult," replied Selenia lethargic. "Where tomorrow is collected again. Ck!"

"Do you want me to teach you?" Adam offered.

Selenia's steps stopped. "Can you?"

Adam chuckles. "You know what I am?"

Selenia. Yeah anyway. Adam is smart in everything. Including melted his heart lately (haisshh!).

"Yes, you can. I was so dizzy, "Selenia ruffled her own hair. "But no doubt, I want to take a drink with a snack first," he said as he passed.

"May I ask you a favor?"

"Solicit what please?"

"Hmmm, okay. Wait, yes" muttered Selenia as she descended the stairs.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Selenia accidentally opened her bedroom door as wide as possible to avoid the negative thoughts of Mr. Fendi, because Adam was in his room. The two of them sat on the carpet, discussing a math problem that almost caused Selenia's head to break.

It turns out to be true. The problem that Selenia considers difficult can be solved easily by Adam. He made graffiti on a piece of paper while explaining one by one to Selenia, like a private tutor teaching his students.

Why is Adam's explanation easier to understand than Bu Ningsih's? Inner Selenia.

It didn't take long, Selenia had already managed to solve the rest of those math problems.

"Thank you Dam," Selenia closed her book and put it in her bag. "No, I don't know if there's no you."

"That's why you know if there's anything, don't just dong. I'm talking about why the hell is Sel?"

"I'm afraid you're busy too. It's not good."

"I must have some time for you. Whenever it was," Adam ruffled Selenia's hair. "You have to get good grades, so you can go to your favorite university."

Selenia smiled knot. "Once again, thank you."

Adam returned that smile. Duh, it feels really good to see the face of this ABG! adam in his heart.

As he was about to kiss Selenia on the forehead, Adam heard footsteps approaching towards the room, so he pulled his head back from near Selenia's head. They were both nervous knowing it must be Dad. Adam snatched the thick book in front of him, and Selenia with origin even grabbed the fashion magazine that had been there for a long time.

"You're on what...?" Mr. Fendi did not continue his question.

He was stunned at the door to see Adam and Selenia who were focusing on the book in their hands. Although there was a sense of wonder when he saw the book Selenia read, but Mr. Fendi chose not to mess with their togetherness.

"So you guys are busy, huh? Okay, let me just get down. You do not sleep malem-malem you know Sel," said Mr. Fendi before turning around to leave the room.

"Yes Dad," muttered Selenia. As soon as Mr. Fendi disappeared from the doorway, they looked at each other and giggled at the same time.

Adam immediately pulled Selenia's body close to him, clenched and kissed his wife's forehead many times.

"I'm a gemessss just like you, baby! Oh my....! Errgghhh!!"

Last Education: Master of Architecture, University Of Washington.

Wedding Status: Single

And a few lines of identity data CV owned by Adam, Tony read to completion. He threw his body on the sofa in the room and thought.

Husband?

A boyfriend?

A fiancee?

Or.....he's a guy who likes to pamper underage girls?

Tony's head shook strongly. No way! Selenia is not that kind of girl.

"Hffhhhhhhh...!!" Tony sighed, got up and slipped the sheet into the book at the study table.

His search has not been successful.
