Almost half an hour Freya's eyes were open, but she was still silent in Agyan's arms. Still thinking about how to tell her husband to attend a fashion show.

Freya gasped when Agyan rubbed her stomach, apparently her husband was awake. "Wake up?" he asked as Freya rubbed Agyan's hand on the surface of her stomach.

"Old old man."

A moment of silence, until Agyan tightened his embrace. It was still very early in the morning, there was still plenty of time to sit comfortably on the bed.

"Don't daydream" Agyan whispered right in Freya's left ear, making the girl crumble and rub her neck, while Agyan simply laughed, then turned Freya's body to face him.

Slowly bring her face closer and raise Freya's chin, fusing their lips together. Just for a moment, because Agyan took it off when he got no reply from his wife.

"Is there something you're thinking about?" agyan asked as if he was sensitive, he rubbed the surface of his wife's lips.

Come on, he has known Freya for almost six years, and he has memorized how she behaves when she is angry, jealous or thinking about something.

"There's."

"What?"

"The semalem,"

Agyan frowned, slightly distancing his body from Freya and outlining his embrace.

"I have something important to say to you—"

"—But you promise don't get angry," the girl hesitated.

Agyan was speechless, his feelings starting to get unpleasant with Freya's last sentence. He looked at his wife's pleading face. Long time, until finally Agyan nodded.

"Because I got a call from Mbak Tari Amaliya. He was the artist manager at BS Entertainment—" Freya hung up her sentence, noticing Agyan's unchanging facial features.

"She made me a model again."

This time Freya looked at Agyan doubtfully. Her husband pulled his hair back and got out of bed.

"Gyan—"

"We talked about this long before we got married!" agyan, which means final. Freya will not return to her world.

"But as if you'd like permission for me to attend the annual fashion show, well, Gyan."

Freya also moved and stood in front of Agyan who was opening one by one the pajama buttons he was wearing. "The way is next week," Freya has not given up on getting permission from Agyan.

"NO!" Agyan.

"But I'm paid a lot for it, Gyan."

"The money I can use for our household needs.

Agyan immediately stopped his steps, he paused his steps towards the bathroom and looked back at Freya after hearing his wife's sentence.

"You cape, life's hard on me?"

"Not that,"

"What!"

Freya approached, her intention was not at all to offend Agyan. She just wanted to help her husband not to think about this all by himself. Freya just wants to be useful to Agyan.

"I just want to help you, for us, Gyan."

"I don't need your help!"

"Gyan!"

"You don't need any work, Freya. I can fill you with whatever your needs are." Agyan was still able to hold back his emotions and spoke kindly to Freya.

"I just want to help, Gyan. I know I promised you I'd leave the model world, but this time I'm just—"

"Don't make me mad, Frey!"

Freya was speechless, staring fixedly at Agyan. Freya knew a lot of burden in her husband's head. Even behind their togetherness is etched a heartbreaking story if Agyan and himself should stay away from their families.

Freya knew Agyan was burdened with it all along. Although Agyan never complained about it in the slightest, even though Agyan never showed his despair in front of Freya. But Freya knows.

The dining table in the newly occupied house during the two weeks was quiet this morning. There is no warm talk from a husband and wife as usual. Only the sound of the clinking of the tableware had been heard since.

Agyan is already in his neat clothes, ready to go back to the company he has not visited to apply for work. While Freya was the same as usual, a knee-length home dress with hair left undamaged.

Freya got up from the dinner table, she walked up to the pantry to make the pregnant milk that Agyan bought for her two days ago. While Agyan was only paying attention to him, he was still reluctant to talk to Freya, and it seemed that Freya was also feeling annoyed at him.

Agyan let their morning not be filled with small talk after the debate in the room earlier. Let it be like this, it's just relieving emotions.

"He thought I'd apologize first? It's delicious!" Freya grumbled to herself, then she moved past Agyan and sat on the sofa of the tv room, turning on the tv and cool herself.

Agyan finished his meal, then took off a glass of water, he went over to Freya while tidying up the tie he had today installed himself.

"I'm leaving," he said, slightly bowing and briefly peeking at Freya's forehead. "Be careful." Agyan nodded, then passed out of the house.

"I'm sorry, Gyan." Freya knew Agyan wouldn't give her permission. But he never thought that he would fight with Agyan and end up in a cold war.

It was very day, the sun was free to burn the skin of anyone under it.

A man is seen standing still in front of a large company, just like the days before when Agyan applied for a job. He was rejected again, for the same reason. There are no job openings that fit him.

Agyan sighed, fanning the map he was holding towards his hot face. It is difficult to find a job in Jakarta.

"Gyan,"

Agyan turned his head when he saw Gavin, he smiled. "Where?" gavin asked, which made Agyan smile again.

"Ditalok again." he said, Gavin looked at him with pity. Patting Agyan on the shoulder strengthened, then invited the man to come eat with him at a restaurant near the company where Agyan was standing.

"Normally loe's face is not moody very rich that is." scolded Gavin while stirring his food.

Agyan who was chewing food, only fell silent with a mouth-swallowing motion. Suddenly he remembered Freya, usually in these hours, his wife sent him a message and reminded him to eat. But because of the debate this morning, even Agyan did not get a single message from Freya

"You guys fighting?" Gavin can guess. Agyan nodded faintly, and already. Gavin didn't want to interfere.

"She's my permission to make me a model again," Agyan suddenly told me. Gavin noticed that if Agyan told a story without being forced, Gavin would be free to express his opinion.

"Loe gave me permission?"

"No."

Gavin nodded his head. Things he had expected. Agyan would not allow his wife's pretty face to become public consumption.

"She's pregnant, I don't want her to be soaked." This is the reason Gavin guessed.

"I've talked about this before we got married. Freya won't be in the modeling world."

"He's invited to a fashion show next week?"

"Well, where did you know?"

"Cherry's. He's also invited,"

Agyan was speechless with a head that several times seemed to nod.

"Gue know Freya, I also understand why you two are debating."

However, Gavin knows the current state of Agyan's economy with Freya. Moreover, Agyan has not yet got a job.

"Loe try to understand him more, don't make him depressed. Let her just say a little stress by being present at the event she wants."

"Gue knew it was all right loe, but no matter what, you love Freya a little room for expression of her mood."

"You mean Freya's not happy with me?" cynical Agyan. Gavin laughed in response. "That's not what I mean, I know Freya is just happy with you. But gini deh, you think Freya is not bored every day just the same loe doang?" gavin logical sahut.

Agyan nodded his head. Gavin has a point, so far Freya too often stay at home and spend time only with him, without anyone else entering their environment.

Perhaps Freya is lonely and bored. But for the girl to walk on the catwalk in her high heels, Agyan could not give her permission, he was worried about the safety of Freya and their future son.

"Gyan,"

Agyan looked at Gavin as the man's call broke his daydream about Freya.

"Kalo loe hasn't gotten a job yet, you can work at my place. Whatever you want on the circuit or my hape shop, you can choose yourself." he said. Although he had offered this to Agyan several times and always got rejected, Gavin did not give up.

"Gue know you can't accept my offer because I'm loe's niece-in-law, but you have to think about Freya."

"Loe has to earn a living for a small family, Gyan."

"Loe can't be selfish by rejecting offers from people closest to you."

Agyan remained silent as long as Gavin revealed many words, until he made a sound. "What would my opinion be like in-laws? They're gonna lower me, Vin."

"Surely, you work hard. Not free money."

This time Agyan was silent for quite a while. Considering Gavin's true opinion was also in his head. No matter whose help, he must have worked hard to support his family with his own efforts.

He was independent by standing on his own feet without asking for mercy from his parents or Freya's parents.

"Where, Gyan?"

"So until this afternoon I don't get a job, I'll work at a loe."

Gavin smiled happily at Agyan's decision. "It should be from yesterday." he said after a while.

Agyan only gave a faint smile, he would go back to looking for work after this. If it doesn't work, it will work at Gavin's place. No matter what, you will get scorn. Gavin is right, he cannot be selfish, because there are two lives to live.
