NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)

NDA - 60-S

The atmosphere was so quiet when Selenia arrived home. Adam certainly did not come home and Bi Iyah was resting. Upon entering the room, Selenia found a small parcel with a letter inside. His forehead wiggled. Who is this from? While his brain guessed this stuff from Adam.

...Dear Selenia, Father's sweetest son & ️...

...My son, there is nothing more precious in this world than to have you. In the past, it could never be described how happy Father was when he saw you born into the world. The long wait and all the struggles were taken care of when I first heard your crying voice. The cry that makes Dad smile is happy because Dad has you. The cry that makes your spirit more motivated to live life and do anything to make you happy....

...Your smile, your manja, your whining, is the most beautiful melody in the world. In the past, I always hoped that you wouldn't grow up because Dad always wanted you to be Daddy's little daughter. What you can carry around, play chases, feed your favorite fish in the pond, play Barbie dolls, and tell you stories every night before you go to bed. May you always remember those times, son....

...Now, it's all gone. You're growing up, but, still allow me to think of you as Daddy's sweet little daughter. I'm sorry I wasn't always on your side. Not because I don't love you, but this is the life we have to live. We can't walk in place and hope everything can change on its own. But believe me, my son, I'm doing this just for you....

...Selenia, son......

...Please don't ever hate your mother for what's happening now. Besides Dad, he's the one who loves you very much and always wants to see you happy. And now I can see your Mama's wish. Happy to see you happy. I just wish you could keep what God has given you. Take care of your family, son. Whatever happens, you must be able to take care of your family. Because after all, home and family are the safest places to go back....

...And this necklace, I gave it as your 17th birthday present. Once again I'm sorry because I can give it to you now....

...Always happy and smiling, my son....

...Full Love...

...YOUR FATHER'S A 'DOLL...

No tears Selenia had already wet her cheeks as she read the letter.

Why do so many tears come out today? Selenia sobbed as she opened the small box from her father. Instantly his cry broke again when he saw the contents of the parcel. A necklace with a pendant in love. The pendant can be opened and inside is tucked a photo of his late mother in small size, but clearly.

Selenia stood in front of the mirror. He put on the necklace and imagined his mother was wearing it to him.

What a beautiful necklace. Bisik Selenia. Selenia kissed the locket repeatedly and laid herself on the bed.

How could I possibly forget that wonderful childhood, Father. Be happy? I'm happy with my family, but not for today, Dad.

Selenia felt her eyes hot from shedding too many tears. Selenia pulled out the phone, connected it to the earphone connection and played music. When his mood was erratic like this, he preferred to listen to melow music which would then make him fall asleep.

"Hanging terooooosss...!" ledek Aldo when he saw Cia who was preparing to leave.

"You are also online teroooooos game!!" reply Cia does not want to lose.

"Lagian sister Cia ni, little hanging out, brags maen. Ngabis-ngabisin money tau," Aldo still reply as his hands mama's favorite flowers in the pot.

"Hmm..." Cia sneering. "Indeed you think online games are not budget-friendly? WiFi in this house most often makeeek who???? Ehhhhh don't massage the flowers..... Mama...!" cia shouted spontaneously when she saw Aldo's ignorant hand kneeling the stalk of Bu Hilma's favorite flower.

Aldo. He pointed his index finger at his lips, and glanced inside the house. "Sssst.. not this pa-pa you know, the flower person is still good," he stroked the pot.

"Aldoooo.... What are your flowers Mama???" my mother's voice sounded from inside.

Hearing that cry Cia immediately giggled and stuck out her sister's soft tongue that looked anxious.

"No Ma. It's just Aldo elus-elus!" answer Aldo origin. He pointed his fist at Cia.

"Ehhh.. no brother anterin les again if macem-macem," Cia threatened back.

"Don't dong" Aldo whined like a child.

"Don't mess with her brother."

"Durhaka what the hell? It's just the same report from Mama. Basic artisan ngadu. The flower is still good."

"Don't argue with Aldooo! Brother is not between you tutoring anymore if you like to argue," Cia likes to tease Aldo who seems to give up on the threat.

Aldo's weakness is only limited to tract after tutoring. She would rather be picked up and picked up by her sister than Mama. Because if Cia were the shuttle, Aldo would always get ammunition after tutoring. Moreover, Cia freed Aldo to choose a place to look for ammunition. And indeed Cia was dear to her sister. Same with Mama? Rarely anyway. Most pol bought somay or martabak doang. Sampe.

Aldo snorted and glanced fiercely at Cia and then threw his butt into the chair next to Cia. His hands are again busy operating the device to start playing online games. Cia giggled amusedly looking at him.

Shortly thereafter, a horn was heard from the front of the fence. Cia immediately tiptoed and put on a helmet.

"Maaaa Cia...!" his yell. Not to forget he also kissed Aldo's cheek which made the child startled and almost dropped his phone. "Can't be swiped! That's a kiss from my sister!" threaten Cia gently when Aldo's hand is ready to wipe her cheek.

"Be careful I'm going!!" reply to Mom from inside.

"Daagh Aldo's....!" said Cia centil on Aldi then passed to approach Marvin who was waiting on the bike. This afternoon, I want to enjoy the sunset.

Aldo growled a little because of his brother's actions, the game must lose. She also lightning-fastly rubbed the cheeks of Cia's kiss after her brother was not seen again.

"Where is Selenia Bik? How lonely?" adam asked Bi Iyah who was washing the utensils in the kitchen sink.

Hearing Adam coming, Bi Iyah hurriedly stopped her activities and immediately washed her hands. "Sir, sir, it was fitting Non Selenia home me again rest, so I don't know."

"Non Selenia is in her room, sir," Mr. Tono appeared from the back room. "So straight up after school."

Bi Iyah glanced clumsyly at Pak Tono.

"Oh yes, thank you Mr. Tono," Adam immediately rushed upstairs. He also checked his phone to see if Selenia contacted him today, but there was nothing. Maybe her school lessons are crowded, she thought.

Adam stood in front of the door of Selenia's tightly shut room. Slowly his hand turned the doorknob, but at once his forehead shriveled.

"Kok locked?" muttered. Selenia does not usually lock the room during the day like this.

Tok tok! Adam knocked on the door of the room. But there is no lawfulness. Adam repeated again to several beats and finally...

Jeglex! Adam smiled broadly at the sight of his wife's face. But he was also astonished to see Selenia who was still wearing the school uniform.

"Kok you still pack the uniform anyway baby?" Adam was just about to poke Selenia's shoulder, but Selenia's reflexes retreated, intending to avoid Adam's touch. "Dih. Why the hell?" Adam tries to touch Selenia's forehead, but the same thing goes back to Selenia.

"Home home?" ask Selenia flat. There was not a single smile emanating from his face. Selenia thought by sleeping she would forget the problems that happened today. But it turns out that when he saw Adam's face, the pain in his heart had not disappeared. The video footage that Cia showed this morning is always reflected in her eyes.

"Yes. Today my job is not so much" Adam replied as he loosened his tie and took off his suit.

Selenia stared at each of those movements cynically.

"You just woke up? Why don't you change your clothes, baby?" ask Adam softly.

What's?! Darling?! The sentence made Selenia automatically lift next to her lips. He was very good at acting in front of me. Inner Selenia growled. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

My client, if you want to talk about this with Adam, please do not use emotions... Cia's words were ringing in her ears this morning.

"No pa-pa. I just want to," Selenia replied lazily.

Adam tilted his head. She felt that there was something strange about Selenia's attitude this afternoon. Selenia why?

"Why are you a cell? How odd?" Adam tried to raise Selenia's chin but her hand was rejected. Although a soft look, but enough to make Adam realize that something is wrong with Selenia. Butwhat?

"Any?" Selenia asked back. "What's so weird? I'm ordinary."

"You don't lie."

"Cell...?" adam's eyes narrowed. "Kok you so ketus with me? This morning we were fine" he tried to remember what mistake he made today.

"Who's sniffy, Dam? I'm just tired. I'm sleeping, but you're banging on the door of a rich room, "Selenia crossed her arms and sniffled cynically.

Adam was not getting better. Though he also knocked on Selenia's room door not as hard as he said. Even if Adam sneaks in right away, Selenia doesn't bother about it. But today? What the hell is it?

"Your cell is why..."

"I'm tired, I want to take a break, why the hell does it keep going?" cut Selenia.

"Oh, okay-okay..." Adam mangosteen. Well, maybe Selenia is tired. "Yes, if you rest again. See you later at dinner."

Selenia only smiled at a glance, nodding and instantly closing the door.

Adam was still standing in front of Selenia's room door for a few minutes and hoped that Selenia was just prank him with her attitude. But until almost 10 minutes passed, the door of the room did not open again. Adam twisted his body and walked to his room feeling puzzled. Even before closing the room door, he still had time to wait again and hoped that the door of Selenia's room was opened. But his hope remains in vain.

"Are you insensitive or what about Dam? Or is it that smart you hide everything from me? I'm wrong what the hell is the same with you until you think I'm rich gini?! When I open my heart, start baby, start loving you but you're giniin me!" selenia growled while holding back the cries in the room. His eyes kept staring at the door.

Actually when he saw the look of Adam who looked haggard after the office earlier, Selenia also did not have the heart to surprise him. But still, the anger, annoyance and indignation that Selenia felt was greater than the sense of unreliability. Selenia squeezed her pillow furiously.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Marvin and Cia enjoy the afternoon atmosphere on the bike while singing. Sometimes they also laugh when one of them does not memorize the lyrics. The two are getting closer and closer lately. They often spend time together with sightseeing, watching or just hanging out and eating at roadside warteg. Marvin is not a typical guy who likes to hang out in luxury places such as restaurants, malls and the like. Not because he is unable, but he is indeed his son prefers something that is side by side with nature.

That's why Cia's hangout spot has changed 160° since knowing Marvin. Cia, who is usually a hobby of snacking, now prefers to enjoy the natural beauty-outdoor. Cia who usually prefer to eat food at expensive restaurants or food courts in the mall, now prefers to eat at warteg or angkringan. He said the food in such a place turned out to be better. Especially if together with doi, hehehe.

Their journey ends at the hill of love. The plan to watch the sunset went smoothly because the weather also happened to be good again.

"Ci try you stand there," Marvin pointed to one place and Cia complied. As always, Marvin always carries his camera with him every trip with Cia. "Okay stop there. Yes, he turned his back on the light, well.you're stylish, I'm photographing," he began to point his camera lens at Cia who had prepared with various poses.

Some of the shots were successfully captured by Marvin, and the results do not ask again. Cia clapped her hands cheerfully looking at her beautiful looking photos on the marvin camera.

"Okay now we're both photos, yeah," Marvin pulled a tripod out of the bag and put it on the side of the road. He also set his camera there and set the timer.

After that she then approached Cia and they started posing in various styles. Smile, pretend to be angry, laugh, jutek, and some other fun styles. There was no awkwardness between the two. Both Cia and Marvin look equally enjoy.

"Cia.." said Marvin a little nervous after they finished taking pictures. He had already stashed his tripod back into a bag and had a DSLR camera around his neck. The sun was about to set and the atmosphere around slowly started to darken.

"Yes, Vin?" sahut Cia with a cheerful tone. Cia was always cheerful in front of Marvin.

"Well..how do you say that?" Marvin several times sighed and smiled clumsyly resisting the nervousness that increasingly controlled his body.

"What the hell? What are you talking about?" cia asked impatiently.

"Mmm... " Marvin is back to breathing. The heart is pounding unbecoming. "I thought you were my partner" he said quickly without pause.

"Huh?" Cia held a smile hearing the speed of that sentence. "What Vin? I don't want to? Want what?"

Marvin closed his eyes and again took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Slow Marvin. He began to dare to hold Cia's hands and look at her face deeply.

"I-want-you-so my partner." repeated more firmly and clearly."

Cia speechless. He could hardly believe what he had just heard.

Marvin shot me??!! Cia's heart screeched in excitement. But he tried to refrain from surging, shouting or other overjoyed expressions.

"Hey, what's so dumb?" Marvin patted Cia's cheek gently.

"Ee... W-what's Vin? You. want.. I-I..."

Marvin laughed at the nervousness. He had thought Cia wouldn't respond so badly to his statement. It also automatically makes Marvin's confidence level increases. In a sense, he was starting to be able to control himself in front of Cia.

"Yes, I want you to be my partner" Marvin said. "I feel comfortable walking with you. How are you the same? Do you want to..."

Cia immediately nodded before Marvin finished his sentence. Hearing that answer, Marvin was happy not to play. He immediately hugged Cia's body tightly and thanked her many times.

"Uhhuukk uhhukk!" Cia coughed in Marvin's arms. "Yes. yes.. don't continue to thank... Your embrace is also very fast... uhhukkk... lephaaaasin..."

Marvin took off his embrace and cupped Cia's face. "I'm so happy. sorry...sorry...sorry..."

This afternoon, they were both officially made. Marvin and Cia hooked each other's pinky which was immediately immortalized with Marvin's DSLR camera.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Selenia's attitude was still cold towards Adam until dinner time came. Instead of caring about Adam who had previously stolen a glance at her, Selenia preferred to focus on the food in front of her. He wanted to finish the meal and go back to the room.

"Chairns of whom?" tanya Adam tried to create a chat while also interested in the necklace used Selenia. He just saw her this afternoon.

"Dad," Selenia replied briefly while still enjoying her meal.

"Ohhhh," Adam's lips pursed. "So I met Dad?"

Selenia. "After school I saw in the room there was a parcel, it turned out from Dad. Maybe Dad was here," Selenia said so forced. Males really feels like talking long with Adam in a situation like this.

"Yes really. Father was here this morning" said Adam. "I was just about to leave."

Selenia glanced at Adam and went back to enjoying her meal.

Selenia no longer spoke until she finished her dinner. After he finished, he then pushed back the chair and hurried to leave the dining room.

Adam could not remain silent. What is the same with his wife? Not waiting until the food ran out, she chose to stop and walked half-run after Selenia who had arrived in front of her room.

"Cell, wait!" Adam blocks Selenia's arm, which is ready to hold the doorknob.

Then suddenly without Adam thinking before, the hand was actually pushed as hard as possible by Selenia. Adam was shocked, in shock, staring at the unexpected treatment.

Selenia felt disgusted once her hand was held by the hand that once held the hand of another woman affectionately behind her. But again Selenia must remember Cia's message, if she should not be emotional.

"Seeel?? What the hell are you?" adam's face looked clear. "I was wrong to say? Are you angry with me?"

Selenia gulps. The other side of his heart could not feel like seeing Adam weld so. But did he really not realize his mistake?! How could he be out there making out with another woman, while at home he behaved as if nothing had ever happened?! selenia's inner voice shouted.

"Darling, we were all right this morning, right? We don't have any problems, do we? Or are you still angry about yesterday? I'm sorry, you're sorry, aren't you??" Adam keeps blabbering.

But you're not sorry for your mistake because of my duain Dam, inner Selenia. Selenia's emotions had almost risen to the crown to find Adam who was not also aware of his mistake. Selenia turned her face up trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall. He had to throw his face away when the tears were unstoppable just so Adam wouldn't see him crying.

"I'm tired of Dam" he said, without looking at Adam. "I'm going to sleep" she wiped her tears quickly before returning her gaze to Adam.

"You just sleep. Let tomorrow not be late," he added just let go of a little ego because he actually did not have the heart to act that cold to Adam.

Adam was desperate. He was really confused by Selenia's attitude which was like returning at the beginning of their marriage. He thinks it's even worse. What the hell is going on?

The door to Selenia's room closed before Adam could get an explanation of what had happened. Adam's breath was hunting, he was also angry with Selenia's attitude. But he realized, Selenia's attitude could not be avenged with anger. Adam tried to remember what mistake he had made today to make Selenia that angry? But he did not find anything because his mind was in a state of turmoil. With heavy steps, he finally chose to go to his own room.
