This morning the dining table was so quiet. No jokes or small talk as usual. There was only the sound of the twang of the spoon clashing against the plate. Grandfather Wu who felt a different aura from Arie also looked at his two grandchildren in turn.
Alex who realized his grandfather was looking at him with full investigation could only resign. Ever since Alex opened his eyes Arie seemed indifferent and lost it.
"I'm done" Arie pushed his wheelchair away from the dining table. Then start moving it with the steering lever. Alex's eyes follow where the wife goes.
"Actually what happened. Are you guys fighting?" cerca Grandpa Wu.
"I came home late yesterday" Alex replied honestly.
Grandpa Wu frowned both his eyebrows. It was impossible if such a trivial matter became the cause of their quarrel.
"Other than that?" ask Grandpa Wu again.
"What's more cake, nothing. I don't know why Arie's acting like that. I've even apologized to him repeatedly since last night, but he just answered with Hem and turned his face away." Alex put down the spoon that he had been holding, then kneaded the temple.
Sometimes women are very mysterious. Even though you've been with him for a while, they're still very mysterious and strange. They will him when angry and let you try to guess and guess the cause behind their anger. As if you were a psychic who could read the minds of others.
Grandpa Wu twisted his long mustache while nodding a nod. He learned the story from his grandson.
"So what's your plan?"
"Plan? what plan?"
"Dumb shit when are you gonna be as smart as your grandfather in women's affairs." Grandpa Wu puffed his chest while fixing the Suit he was wearing, while Alex stared pushyly at his grandfather.
"Don't you wanna find out why your wife's sulking like this. I guess there's something else besides you coming home tonight?" Grandpa Wu shortened, leaning his body on the chair.
Both of his eyes looked at Alex with a look of disdain. His stupid grandson was still the same, he had not learned much about women. Looks like Grandpa Wu has to give private lessons to this next generation.
"Where did Arie go all day yesterday?" ask Grandpa Wu.
"He went to the hospital and spent the whole day walking with Nuwa" Alex replied, holding his chin up with one hand.
His face looked down at his breakfast that was half left. Breakfast feels bland. Alex is tired.
"Haloo... My grandchildren. Go to your brother's office this morning, he wants to talk about something, "Grandpa Wu talked to his great-granddaughter on the phone.
Alex, hearing Grandpa talk, raised his head, looking at Grandpa in surprise. Grandpa Wu, who finished talking to Nuwa, hung up the phone and kept the flat object in his pocket.
"Speak to your sister. Maybe she knows something that makes your wife sulk," Grandpa Wu said in response to a nod of resignation by Alex.
"Well cake, I have to go to the office now."
Alex gets lazy from his chair, he goes to the backyard to look for the whereabouts of his wife. A smile rose on her lips as she looked at Arie who was having a joke with their little daughter. Alex approached them. Arie who heard the sound of her husband's steps approaching immediately turned towards her and then quickly turned her head again to the face of Cleo who was on her lap. The laughter that had sounded crisp was now silent, the look on Arie's face immediately turned sour.
"Darling, I'm off to the office."Alex rubbed Arie's hair gently.
"Hem."
Alex sighed, he lowered his head and kissed his wife. Alex grabs the tiny hand of cleo outstretched asking to be carried. Alex kissed Cleo's puffed cheeks, leaving the baby lying.
"Darling, have you not forgiven me. I'm sorry for coming home late, but...
Alex has not finished his words. The ringing of the phone in his pocket was already loud. Alex clucked in annoyance, he immediately reached into a flat object in his pocket in his suit.
"Master this morning we're going to have a review of the Mega store development project. Did I pick up the Master at home?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Good, Sir."
"Cleo is like Mama's mad at your father, son, do you have any way to forgive Papa?" alex asked with a face made of sand.
"Tata.. Papa..," said Cleo, Cleo's tiny hands pinched her papa's sharp nose.
"Cleo. You also punished your handsome father." Alex rubs his life against Cleo's stomach. The baby chuckled his little hand did not stop pulling the hair of the Papa he could reach.
"Darling can you take this tiny hand out of my hair!" suffocating Alex while enduring the pain, Cleo pulled her hair quite strongly, perhaps a few strands of her hair had already been plucked from her roots.
"Corny Mother!" yelled Arie, without looking at her husband.
"Yes Madam," replied Bu Asih who arrived with his breath stinged.
The middle-aged woman immediately ran over when she heard the madam shout. He left breakfast at the kitchen table. Bu Asih was so panicked when he heard the voice of the madam who shouted to him.
Bu Asih was confused. He hurriedly came to fulfill the call of the madam but now. The big madam was silent instead and gave no orders when she was already standing before him.
Alex could only sigh violently.
"Bi, can you please bring Cleo inside" Alex said. Cleo had removed Alex's hair by herself now her little daughter was changing to pull the tie her papa was wearing.
"Good sir." Bi Asih also stepped closer and took Cleo from the sling of the Papa.
"Let's Non, we play inside," said Bi Asih who was greeted by the baby's cheerful laughter.
Bi Asih Langi stepped inside the house. After the babysitter brought her daughter in. Alex was gathered in front of his wife who was still so reluctant to see him. Alex grabs Arie's hand and kisses her repeatedly.
"Honey to say something, don't be quiet like this" Alex said. He really couldn't have if Arie had kept quiet like this.
Arie was unmoved, she didn't even look into her husband's face. Arie just stared straight ahead. Alex kept staring at Arie meaningfully. Actually Alex was confused by Arie's behavior that ignored him since he opened his eyes.
Honey, speak. I beg you," Alex said expectantly.
"Master," said Chiko who had just entered.
Chiko immediately lowered her head. The three-second rule still applies to all Alex employees without exception and wherever it is.
"Dear I left." Alex slightly raised his body to kiss the wife's still-silent forehead.
Alex looked at Arie with hope that he would talk to her. But until the last second Alex looked at him Arie was still unmoved with his flat face.
Alex sighed weakly. I walked by gontai through Chiko just like that. After Alex passed and Chiko was tailing behind him, Arie immediately exhaled while holding her chest.
"Oh my heart, thankfully this is made by God if it is not sure it has been removed from earlier" Arie's cerocos.
Arie also immediately reached into his cellphone that has a pocket. He immediately looked for the number he was going to call. One time the phone call was lifted.
"Nuwa how is this, I don't have the heart to see Alex like that," Arie said as she covered her face with one hand.
He really did not have the heart to see the eyes of my dear Alex who was looking at him with sadness.
"Sister-in-law should be able to!" nuwa on the other end of the phone.
"Are you sure this will work?"
"Thousand percent. Anyway Brother must not be weak, lest our plan fail in the middle of the road."
"Alright," said Arie resigned.
Arie immediately hung up his phone and placed the flat object on his lap.
