At 10 am Nadia just returned home by taxi. The woman also carried several bags of groceries in her hand and took them straight to the kitchen.
“Mbak..” Call Nadia while putting her luggage on the pantry table.
Ms. Lasmi who was washing dirty kitchen utensils immediately turned her head and paused for a moment from her activities.
“Eh yes mistress.” His saute.
“Zahra where is mbak? How quiet?”
Lasmi was silent for a moment. Lasmi doesn't know what to say now. Zahra stopped crying a few minutes ago because of Sinta. Zahra also told Lasmi to promise not to tell anything to everyone including Nadia.
Nadia who saw the residence mbak Lasmi frowned confused.
“Mbak... How about dumb?”
“Ah yes mistress.. Mrs Zahra is in her room.” Answer Lasmi immediately.
“Oohh.. That way. Kirain is whatan.” Nodding Nadia without feeling the slightest suspicion. Nadia then opened her groceries and took them out one by one.
As for Lasmi, she sighed. Mbak Lasmi actually wanted to tell him what he knew but Zahra had asked him to promise and Lasmi could not just deny it.
“Mbak this please everything will be laid out in its place well.. I want to go to Zahra first.”
“Oh yes.. Fine mistress.”
“Still mbak..” Sweet smile Nadia.
“Iya mistress.. Same same.” Lasmi smiled back at Nadia.
After Nadia passed, Lasmi sighed again. Lasmi's brother believes Nadia will definitely ask questions once she sees Zahra's swollen eyes.
“Already.. I don't have to interfere too much.” Gumam mbak Lasmi then continued his work that was delayed.
While Nadia, in a short time she had arrived in front of the door of Zahra's room. Nadia knocked slowly on the white-painted door but there was no telling from inside. Once again Nadia knocked while calling Zahra's name but also did not get a word from Zahra.
Curious as well as worried that was what Nadia felt. Not wanting anything to happen to her sister-in-law, Nadia immediately opened the door to Zahra's room which turned out to be unlocked.
Nadia frowning. Zahra wasn't there.
“Zahra.” Call him while stepping in.
The quiet atmosphere in the room made Nadia even more worried. Nadia checked the bathroom and it was empty. Zahra's not in the bathroom.
Nadia's gaze was then directed at the open balcony door. Nadia believes Zahra must be there.
Nadia walked quickly to the door. Sure enough, Zahra was standing in the balcony of her room with a straight look forward. The wind blew Zahra's hair straight.
Nadia smiled thinly. Nadia could understand how Zahra was feeling. Since Nadia knows Zahra and Faza are in a relationship, this is the first time they have separated with a long distance.
“Ra..”
The gentle touch of Nadia's hand on her shoulder made Zahra wake up from her daydream about Sinta's attitude towards her.
Zahra looked over and smiled. But Nadia's surprised expression as Zahra turned her head made Zahra frown in confusion.
“Why brother?” Zahra asked confusedly.
“Yes God.. Zahra, did you cry earlier?”
“Kak me..”
“What was the departure of Faza?” Sela Nadia asked again.
Zahra smile. Her tears dripped involuntarily and were immediately gently wiped away by Nadia. What Zahra felt now was not only because of Faza's departure, but also because of Sinta's attitude towards him.
“Ra.. You are not alone. There's Aries and Nadia's sister here.. You can tell me how you feel now with us.. Don't self-sacrifice.”
Nadia's words made Zahra's chest feel more tight. Zahra felt lucky because even though she did not have two parents anymore, but there are still Aries and Nadia as her brother who certainly cares and loves her.
“I'm not papa kok.. I just don't feel used to parting with Faza for long.” Zahra's smile tried to cover up her grief from Nadia.
Zahra did not want Aries and Nadia to know what Sinta had just said and almost Sinta did to her. That would definitely cause new problems in her and Faza's domestic relationship.
What else considering Aries who until now has not been able to get back to familiar with Faza like before.
Nadia who could not bear to see her beloved sister-in-law crying also immediately hugged her gently. Nadia rubbed very gently on Zahra's back.
“You should know Faza ya Ra.. He went it to work and to give his best to you too your son. Think positive only.” Nadia said slowly.
Zahra smile. Zahra didn't mean to lie to Nadia. But Zahra was also unlikely to complain to Nadia about the arrival of Sinta and Loly earlier.
-------------
Loly continued grimacing holding her painful cheeks mixed with pain. The slap that Sinta gave and landed on his cheek was really very hard. Loly doesn't know what it would be like if Zahra got hit by that loud slap. It's possible that Zahra's body will be smeared and end up in the hospital.
When Loly had just occupied herself in the chair the sound of knocking on the door made her turn her head. Loly sighed in frustration. Just now came a pile of work already greeting him. Loly also believes that behind the door of her room is Mona, her secretary.
“Log.” Seru Loly firmly.
“Awh.. Sshh.” Loly grimaced and hissed feeling pain as she opened her mouth as a result of Sinta's slap.
The door of her room opened, giving rise to Mona the secretary who stepped closer to Loly with two different-colored maps in her hand. The map is blue and red.
“This is the file you requested yesterday miss.” Mona.
“Ya okay.. Just put it there.”
Loly said with her lips still tightened, because if Loly opened her mouth the pain would get worse.
Mona who heard and saw him frowned.
“Are you okay miss?” Ask Mona heart.
Loly refused to answer. He only shows Sinta's slap marks that make her cheeks slightly swollen and look red on Mona.
Mona's eyes were perfectly rounded. Mona closed her open mouth not expecting to see a bruised wound on the right cheek of her superior.
“Do I need to call a doctor miss? Your bruise looks very severe.” Mona said worriedly.
Loly shook her head quickly. Loly then shook her hands to get Mona out of her room.
“Nona but you..”.
Mona's words are stopped because Loly is glaring at her. Not wanting to get angry with Loly, Mona complies.
“Ya already miss then excuse me.” Mona stepped towards the door. But when she was about to get out of Loly's room, Mona turned her head back and stared unbearably at Loly who occasionally grimaced while opening her laptop.
