The Heart (Nadira)

episode 18's

Alby noticed Nadira who ate nothing. He just sat down, without touching the food.

" Why not eat? "

Nadira shook his head again.

" I'm not hungry. "

Alby sighed, since the departure of his parents, Nadira's appetite decreased. Even while still in Bandung, Nadira fell ill, because of improper diet. Nadira really only accompanied Alby who was eating. Alby finished his meal. Nadira deftly cleans all the leftovers, and keeps them. Then wash the dishes Alby used to eat.

By the time Nadira finished working on it, Alby was no longer at the dinner table, not even in the living room. Green tea made by Nadira is no longer available. As Nadira was going to her room, she heard Alby talking on the phone with someone.

" You keep looking for information about his whereabouts, I'm giving you a week for that. Hm. okay, I'll wait."

Nadira asked in his heart.

" Who's looking for Mas Alby. Looks like that guy's very important."

Then Nadira went to his room to rest. In the room, Nadira's eyes were not closed. The shadow of the last meeting with his parents, always spinning in the brain and recorded clearly. The endless kiss given by the Mother when she last met, made Nadira cry. It was the last time Mother hugged and kissed her.

Alby is in his workspace just like Nadira. The shadow of Syifa's rejection made her hurt. If he always blamed Nadira, but at this time, he could not hurt Nadira. The trust from his father-in-law made him a dilemma.

In the morning, Nadira woke up early as usual. Prepare breakfast and prepare to control his ol shop. Alby, who had just come out of his room, smelled the smell of cooking. And he saw Nadira cooking.

" Good morning, Dira? "

Alby greeted Nadira who was arranging food at the table. This morning Nadira cooked fried shrimp flour, and oseng broccoli. Alby did not deny, that the taste of Nadira cuisine is very good. And Alby's getting used to eating Nadira's cooking.

" Good morning, Mom. Want to have breakfast? "

" You don't have breakfast? "

Nadira stopped his steps.

" I haven't had a shower, Mom. I can have breakfast first. I'm gonna take a shower first. "

Alby just nodded, and let Nadira go to his room. Twenty minutes later, Nadira had come down again, using peach-colored gambis and a matching hijab. Nadira look simple but impressed very sweet. Nadira who thought Alby had finished breakfast, looked surprised, because Alby had not started his breakfast. Even the tea that Nadira made was getting cold.

" Loh, Mum. How not to eat? You don't like ?"

Nadira looked at Alby's plate.

" I'm waiting for you, we have breakfast together. "

This morning, Nadira and Alby had breakfast together. Since returning from Bandung, Alby tried to be kind to Nadira. After finishing breakfast, Nadira was ready to go to his shop. Nadira took the helmet and motorcycle keys that he used to use.

" You don't ride the bike. Let me drive you. "

Alby said, while taking back the helmet that will be used by Nadira.

" It's not okay, Mas. You will be late to the office. "

Nadira tries to subtly refuse.

" I'm the owner of the company. If I'm a little late, no problem."

This time Nadira could not refuse again. Finally this morning Nadira was delivered by Alby to his rukonya. while on the way, Alby asked what time Nadira would come home.
