By midnight Om Rudy had just returned home, he looked crumpled, his suit was only draped over his shoulder and his tie was no longer attached to his neck. The house was dark, only the central room light was on. Om Rudy took cold water from his refrigerator, the glass was exhausted but could not get rid of the heavy feeling in his head due to liquor. Aunty Katrin who knew her husband came home immediately out of the room and was surprised to see the look of her husband who was tangled with masai.
“Papa from where to go home kayak gini?” ask aunty Katrin softly.
“So there are clients from outside, we managed to make a big deal and Papa was invited to celebrate,” replied Om Rudy while removing his tie. Aunty Katrin moved slowly and approached Om Rudy, soaking up her husband's stinky booze.
“Papa seems to drink a lot, remember, Papa must take care of health, do not follow those who are accustomed to it.” Tanta Katrin stroking her husband's chest. As they looked at each other, Aunt Katrin brought her face closer and placed her lips on Om Rudy's lips. Aunt Katrin is waiting for her husband's reply but it seems Om Rudy is not wanting and the kiss is only short-lived.
“Papa any problems huh? Lately Papa looks restless and so quiet. Is the company having problems, Pa?” lure Aunt Katrin so that her husband will speak honestly to her.
“Company is fine, Ma, no problem. Papa is fine, Mama don't have to worry.” Om Rudy let out a long sigh of course his words were in stark contrast to what Aunt Katrin saw.
“Rud, I know you not yesterday, we have been together for a long time, share hard happy together, I know you are not doing well.” Aunt Katrin was finally unable to hold back.
“Kat, I'm tired, not now,” elak Om Rudy who then stood up and left Aunt Katrin to their room.
“Rud, wait!” Aunt Katrin also followed her husband who walked gontai, but Om Rudy did not care about the call of Aunt Katrin.
Om Rudy was changing clothes, he just washed his face and put on his sleeping pajamas.
“Rud, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me? Is something wrong with us? Or something wrong with you?”
“You don't have to think about anything, Kat. I'm telling you not now, not now, I'm really cape!” Om Rudy's voice was rather high which made Aunt Katrin surprised.
“You haven't been like this in the last two decades, Rud. But after Liany got out of this house you changed, why? Do you like the young widow? You miss him ‘kan Rud?”
“Katrin! What the hell are you talking about? Why are you carrying Liany's name?!”
“You don't pretend you don't know, Rudy! You secretly like to visit her house ‘kan? For what, because of Rangga or his mother?!” their voices both grew louder.
“Do not accuse for no apparent reason, Katrin!” sergeant Om Rudy started to get emotional.
“Defined reason? I have a clear reason Rudy! You start lying to me, your heart is no longer faithful to our marriage! Why should Liany, Rudy, why should she?!” aunt Katrin's cheeks began to get wet with her tears. Om Rudy was stunned by what he had heard just now.
“Kat, please, stop this. I want a break.” Om Rudy softened. He picked up his pajamas and took the pillow he used to wear. Om Rudy opened the door and headed for his study, tonight he needs to be alone. He just wanted to be alone first, clearing his troubled and emotionally-stirred mind.
Aunt Katrin looked at her closed bedroom door, her heart pounding hard and her knees feeling weak. He did not believe what had happened just now, they had not fought like this for a long time, even though they had fought but not because of infidelity, they were just fighting about something else. Aunt Katrin's shoulders shook, she sat on the edge of her cold bed and hugged herself. It felt like she could not believe that if her husband could double heart like this, her heart was so hurt and disappointed.
Myla looked at papa and her mother in turn, the breakfast at the breakfast table this morning was completely without a sound from the two. Even her mother tried to dress up a little more to cover her swollen eyes and disguise her eye bags. Even though his face looks neat but can not hide the wrinkle of mind on his forehead.
“Papa and Mama why? Usually Papa and Mama tell me anything at this table but this kok is like a grave, very quiet,” Myla said trying to break the silence of the three. Hearing their daughter realize their attitude, Aunt Katrin and Om Rudy try to evade.
“Perhaps your Papa's head is still affected by drinking overnight with his client,” replied Aunt Katrin while offering toast to her husband as well as to Myla.
“Mama finished crying last night? Mama's eyes are swollen so,” search Myla again. Aunt Katrin looked at Om Rudy who was also looking at her.
“Aahh no, you know if Mama headaches sometimes Mama's eyes to water it? Spend breakfast fast, do not let you late to his office.” Aunt Katrin was still trying to cover up their quarrel last night.
“Oh yes, Myla, Papa wait for your office report later this afternoon, so you can complete other reports. Papa leaves first.” Om Rudy stood up and approached Myla and kissed her daughter's head. Om Rudy approached Aunt Katrin and took a quick peek at her cheek, but Aunt Katrin responded coldly. Something Myla does not normally see. His father disappeared from the dining room shortly after the roar of Om Rudy's car left the yard.
“Ma, really Mama is okay?” tanya Myla approaches Aunt Katrin while scanning her mother's face.
“Mama is fine, you do not need to worry, leave later later again.” Aunt Katrin smiled at her. Myla smiled and hugged her mother for a moment.
“Myla road first yes, Ma,” Myla said after peeping both cheeks of Aunt Katrin.
“Be careful on the road, Darling.” Aunt Katrin returned to her room, looking at herself in front of the mirror. Looking at his phone, he weighed for a moment.
“I have to save my marriage, I can't believe if Liany has teased my husband, there must be an explanation.” Aunt Katrin presses Liany's contact.
“Lia, do you have time later at noon? Aunty wants to see you but at the restaurant just over lunch. Yes, yes later Aunty share loc in your WA. Aunt wait yes, bye.”
“My husband only experienced second puberty, it won't be long, he should come back to me and Myla soon.” Aunt Katrin sighed and prepared to go to her office.
Myla stared at her computer screen, but her mind was not at all on the numbers in front of her but on their two parents who looked strange this morning. Especially on the papa he felt some time like he was storing something. Last night she heard that her dad came home very late at night.
“What's with them yaa?” muttered Myla slowly. Try again to concentrate but instead his memory falls on Satria and Liany who were once seen together.
“Do they know each other? Why do they look so familiar? Duuuuh .. kok so many questions like this siiih?” Myla patted her forehead hard. Myla's phone clinks a notification sound, a message coming in. Myla saw the sender, Demian.
[For example, if you have time this afternoon accompany me to control again yes, my painkillers are up]
Myla breathed a long breath, Demian added a sense of unease in Myla's heart this morning.
[Ok, well, I'll pick you up later in your office.] Myla replied quickly.
“Aaarrgghhhh sucks so much today?!” myla grumbled in front of her computer.
Liany's head was a little dizzy, after waking up from her dream last night she couldn't fall asleep anymore. This morning his body felt bad but because it was just working it would be unethical if he asked for permission due to illness. Fortunately Rangga is not the type of fussy baby so he is calm to be taken to daycare. His office room with Satria has been cleaned, even he has made Satria's favorite cream coffee.
Liany was staring at her laptop screen to compile various letters when Satria arrived in the room. There was a package that Satria carried and gave off a special aroma.
“For Mr. Boss, for today we only have one appointment with client and—“
“Come with me breakfast!” cut Satria while removing the still hot sandwich. Liany just looked at the sandwich placed on her desk.
“Lia, this bread will not run out if it is only looked at!” satria again.
“Sa-I had breakfast earlier at home, Mr. Boss. Thank you.” Liany looked back at her laptop screen without blinking, her head increasingly throbbing.
Suddenly Satria took a chair in the corner and sat down at Liany's table with her slicing the sandwich she had bought earlier.
“I said accompany me to breakfast, whatever if you want to eat or not.” Satria began to eat the bread with pleasure. Bread with various fillings whose shape is elongated. Liany sighed, she walked towards the dispenser and took out a glass of water.
“Thank you, my beautiful secretary,” Satria said with a full mouth, her face made a joke so that she could see Liany's unseen smile this morning. However, what happened was that Lainy just gave a glance and did not smile at all.
“Come on, eat just a little, this is good bread,” persuade Satria again while thrusting the still intact bread. Liany finally relented and began to bite the bread that Satria had already opened. Their taste is not much different and Liany agrees that the bread is delicious.
“Are you okay?” asked Satria who was watching Liany who was a little lethargic.
“I got less sleep last night, so I—“
“What's Rangga sick?” cut Satria fast.
Liany was slightly stunned, Satria's attention was so great on Rangga that she thought Liany was sleep deprived because Rangga was sick.
“Engh ... no, he's not sick, he's fine.”
“Then what's up until you're restless and can't sleep?”
Liany momentarily thought, this office hour, it would be unethical if she were to talk about her personal matters.
“Maybe next time I tell you, it's office hours we should just work now.”
“This is my office and as my employee I deserve to know what problems are happening, I do not want until my employee performance is interrupted because of the problems he faces.” Satria said seriously while folding her hands on her chest. Satria's eyes were full of probes that made Liany misbehave.
“Sat, you know ‘kan if all this time I was accommodated by Aunt Katrin and Om Rudy. The thing is, Om Rudy turned out to like me and asked me to be his wife, I've never faced this madness before. I can't be the second woman among them. I'm scared, Sat.”
“The only way I can protect you fully is for us to get married, Liany,”. The man took Liany's hand and grasped it tightly. At the same time Demian entered with Dora and they saw clearly Satria who was grasping the friendly hands of his secretary.
