One week Ainaya had been living in the simple house that Haris gave him. However, the man did not give him a penny. Getting angry when contacted, there is no other way. Today, exactly Monday. Ainaya contacted the staff of the office where he worked. Said he would return to work, and his request was immediately received a positive response from the office.
"I can't depend on Haris."
Ainaya rushed to the bathroom to clean up. Can't be lazy. Although her current pregnancy is quite torturous, she must still rise to meet her daily needs.
Tidying up his appearance in front of the mirror. Wearing a loose shirt to disguise his increasingly full body.
Grabbing his phone and his bag. Get out of his room and sit in the living room. Call back Haris. As usual, he was unresponsive and forced to send a message.
Sorry, Mas. Today I leave for work, a short message was sent.
Ainaya immediately went looking for a public vehicle in front. She looks simple and has thin makeup on her way out.
Almost thirty trips away, Ainaya arrived in front of a building. He opened his phone when it rang. It was a reply from Haris.
Whatever. What matters is that you don't do anything.
Ainaya's heart was slashed. It should be at a time like this Haris strengthens him and supports him, not even does not care.
"I should be able to. Before Haris came I was an independent woman and didn't need anyone's help."
Return to continue his steps. He entered with other employees.
A beautiful woman stood in front of the elevator door. Although it was only his back, Ainaya knew who the figure was.
"Lidya," cried Ainaya.
The woman looked up and smiled. Towards Ainaya who was also walking towards him.
"How are you, Nay?" tanya Lidya hugged Ainaya.
Long time no see makes them miss each other. Especially during work, Ainaya is very kind and polite to everyone. No matter who the person is, he still prioritizes harmony.
"I'm good, Di. It's just that I can work again," explained Ainaya briefly. There's no way he's telling me why he can't work.
"Yes, we're going to the yuk room!" bring Lidya. Both of them walked to the elevator.
"Later in the afternoon we go yuk, we haven't been hanging out for a long time" Lidya suggested.
"Truely," said the beautiful woman named Ajeng. He was also Ainaya's comrade-in-arms.
'How's this? I can't refuse them, but what if Haris won't let me?' ask Ainaya inwardly.
Confused to make a decision. Currently the status is a wife and must be permission if out.
"Where, Nay? Do you agree?" A little urgent. Nudging Ainaya's arm with his elbow.
No way Haris cares about me. He must have been busy with his first wife.
"Alright, later after we go home we go," said Ainaya agreed.
The elevator doors open. After a long time, Ainaya finally set foot in that place again. A place that has been a field of money until now, even the boss is good and willing to accept it at any time without conditions.
"I went to Mr. Dedi's room for a moment" said Ainaya leaving Ajeng. He wanted to thank his boss for getting accepted for work again.
"Excuse me, sir!" ainaya exclaimed as she knocked on the slightly open door.
A man in a black suit stared at the door and smiled.
"Come in, Nay," he cried without standing.
Ainaya walked in and sat down in the chair right in front of the boss.
"Where have you been? Why did you just come in?" ask Dedi kindly.
As the boss, he reflected manners on each of his subordinates. And not as arrogant as in the story in the novel.
"There's a little problem, sir. I'm sorry. As an employee I can't be consistent, but I promise I'll work well until the decisive time."
Ainaya's words sounded ambiguous in Dedi's ears, but they were unimportant and did not need to be carried away.
Ainaya said an apology and thank you while cupping his hands and then left.
On the first day of work, Ainaya was able to do office tasks well. There was not the slightest obstacle, even his anxiety and sadness simply vanished.
"We're home, Nay." Ajeng tidied up his desk.
"Attent." Ainaya was still struggling with the laptop in front of him. Finishing some of the work left behind. Don't want to leave before it's all gone.
Not only Ajeng, Lidya was waiting in front and ready to slide to the place of tongkrongan.
"Nay, help you do this!" pinta Dedi just arrived.
Ajeng greeted Dedi kindly and approached Ainaya.
"Do I need help?" tanya Seriously.
Ainaya smiled. "No, you just wait at the restaurant. I'll be followed."
Hearing that, Ajeng rushes away with Lidya, while Ainaya has to run the task of the boss.
Almost thirty minutes, Ainaya had already completed his task. He immediately tidied his table. Bring the map, take it to Dedi's room.
Not complaining about orders outside of work hours. For him, it is a responsibility as an employee.
"I'll go home first, sir," said Ainaya who was immediately answered by a nod by Dedi.
Ainaya follows Ajeng and Lidya. He took the ojek so as not to get stuck.
"Do you see any changes with Ainaya?" ask Lidya. Since his meeting this morning, he felt something strange about his best friend.
"Yes anyway. He seems to be getting fuller. But never mind, maybe he forgot the diet."
Ainaya entered from the front door. Ajeng waved his hand towards Ainaya who was still behind the door. Signaled his existence.
Just a few steps away, a heavy voice called out from behind. Ainaya stopped and turned towards the source of the voice. His eyes were perfectly rounded looking at someone standing not far from him.
Nian, why is he here? What if he finds out I'm married?
Nian walked up to Ainaya and stood right in front of the woman.
"It turns out you're here too. Where you been, Nay?" tanya Nian tried to grab the hand of the lover, but quickly the woman dodged.
Panicked
At the moment, however, Ainaya is the wife of people and should not be associated with just any man.
Nian furrowed his brows. Confused by Ainaya's strange demeanor. Unusual woman refused like this, especially in public, embarrassing.
Nian smiled sweetly. Staring at Ainaya from top to bottom. There was no change in appearance, but Nian felt that something was different.
"Why are you?" asked Nian not to understand.
Ainaya lowered his head. From the deepest recesses he could not bear, but it had to be done for the common good.
"We broke up. From today we have no relationship. Excuse me," Ainaya said plainly.
Ainaya twisted his body. Maybe leaving would be better than having to serve Nian.
"Based on the cheap lady," Nian screeched at Ainaya's back.
Not only Ajeng and Lidya heard, some visitors around him also gawked. They looked at Ainaya with suspicious looks.
"Now I know why you decided on me" he added still in a high tone.
"It turns out you're om-om's stash."
Ainaya's heart felt sore like it was pierced by a needle. However, try to stay strong and be able to stand up straight. Hopefully one day Nian will understand his situation.
Unintentionally, Nian once saw Ainaya walking with Haris to call her a despicable woman.
