¤¤¤
Eila had just returned from the cafe at 5, he immediately entered his room and saw Arka who was busy struggling with his laptop. “Not you overtime Ka?” ask Eila.
"Where are you from?" tanya Arka ignored Eila's question.
"I've been hanging out at the same cafe tensely" replied Eila honestly.
“Why don't you let me Eil?”
“Arka dengerin, I don't want to disturb you who are working. Besides, I also happened to meet together at cafe.”
“Keep the guy with the sweater you hug who is it?”
“That's my friend Louis, I hug him just as a thank you because he thanks me for working in his office.” Clearly Eila so that there is no misunderstanding with Arka.
Arka sighed, even though Eila had already explained, she remained unsettled and a little annoyed. Arka closed her laptop, then laid herself on the bed.
Eila looked at the back of Arka who was behind her, “Arka, I want to take a walk,” whining Eila.
The silent arc did not respond to Eila's whining. “Arka!” call Eila.
There's no answer.
“I went with Louis huh? Can ya?” eila's permission.
Arka was just silent, there was no answer at all which made Eila a little confused. The Tumben-Tumbenan Arka did not forbid it. Does Arka not care about him anymore? His eyes were suddenly round, he stood up and pranced.
“Yes, Arka cute again, nice dong if he doesn't care anymore about me. Finally I can do whatever I want without having to ask permission to him.” Excited muttering.
“I heard you said Eil,” said Arka who had turned her back to Eila now turned into a sitting position.
Eila who heard Arka's words stopped prancing around. As soon as he fell silent, he did not know what to do and what to say.
Arka patted her bed, asking Eila to be by her side. Eila who understood immediately just like that. Eila did not dare to look at Arka, she just lowered her head.
“Let's go for a walk together okay, now I want to rest first, tired.” Reveal Arka who got the nod from Eila.
Arka laid down her body followed by Eila sleeping beside Arka. Eila hugged Arka from the front, before long she fell asleep followed by Arka.

Arka woke up at 6:30, she saw Eila who was fast asleep. Arka who had wanted to take a bath undo his intentions, he wanted to be next to Eila, looking at Eila's pretty face. Arka rubbed Eila's hair.
“Beauty,” Praise Arka.
“Eil, get up, he says he wants to go for a walk.” Said Arka shaking slowly Eila's body to wake up. “Eil wake up,” reset.
Eila was just moaning, she did not open her eyes at all. He covered his entire body with a blanket so that Arka who was beside him also covered his entire body.
30 Minutes later Eila woke up, in front of her was Arka who was staring at her. There was almost no distance between them which made Eila misbehave and her face flushed red.
“Ja-the streets so?” eila asked a little nervously.
“So,” Reply Arka. “You take a shower first or me? Or take a shower?” the Arka Goda made Eila's cheeks grow red. “I joke Eil, funny know not see your face if embarrassed,” bright Arka laughs.
Eila clucked, “ish, please step aside ah I shower first.”

After the bath, Eila was ready with her casual clothes, just tidying her hair and wearing her natural makeup while waiting for Arka who was bathing.
Eila glazed in front of the mirror, she thought for a moment, for some reason in her heart there was a sense of being able to accept Arka as her husband. He wants a happy marriage, which starts with love. He was forced to marry Arka, but there was no harm if he wanted to open his heart to allow himself to learn to love Arka.
Eila stopped brushing her hair, she smiled. “OK, later I will tell Arka to start everything from the beginning.”
¤¤¤
Now Eila and Arka are in a night market. Lots of fun rides, especially ghost houses. But Eila has not been interested in boarding 1 woman. He prefers to buy various snacks that are sold there.
“Arka, buy grilled sausage yes,” the door that directly get a nod from Arka.
After buying grilled sausage, Eila went on to buy toast, fries, cup cake, cotton candy, ice boba, and others like a child. Arka smiled at Eila who was so happy.
“So, if you snatch I persuade him to use whisper food?” tanya Arka laughed a little.
Eila smiles shyly, “hehe, can kok.” The answer.
After satisfied eating a variety of snacks, Eila looked at the rides she wanted to ride. He walked while holding Arka's hand to make Arka amazed.
“Arka, I want to say something,”
“Eil just let me have a phone,”
“Oke, I wait here.”
Eila waited long enough for Arka, until finally she felt bored and decided to take a walk on her own. And he accidentally saw a sight he shouldn't have seen. His eyes heat up to hold back his tears, he looks up so his tears don't fall. Eila returned to her original place and tried to assume that nothing had happened.
Eila is still waiting for Arka who has not returned, he accidentally runs into Kris, Arka's friend. “Hai Kris,” greet Eila.
“Hai Eil, you are also here? Same who?” ask Kris.
“Gue to here same Arka,” replied Eila.
“Oh yes? Where is Arka now? I don't see the trunk of his nose.”
“She again lifts phone, maybe.” Eila replied hesitatingly with the smile she forced.
Kris is confused by Eila's facial appearance, it seems that something is not right but he tries not to interfere in the personal affairs of his friend's wife. “Oh, have you been waiting for Arka to pick up her phone?”
“Lumayan, 45 minutes possible,”
“Gosh, that boy forgot what if he brought a wife, later his wife lost in the take of people not willing,”
“Emang Arka care so if I deket same other guys?” ask Eila.
“Yaaa, care is Eil, willed husband lo.” Answer Kris. “Eh, how about you go home with me? Later Arka lo WhatsApp aja,” bargain Kris who got the nod from Eila.
¤¤¤
In the car Eila was just silent with a blank look, he did not speak at all, from the way home until home he was just silent to make Kris amazed.
Eila did not care to announce it or not, at most Arka forgot the existence of Eila there. He didn't want to think of something that made his chest tight. He prefers sleep.
¤¤¤
In the morning Eila woke up and next to her was Arka who fell asleep. Eila opened her phone, obviously Arka wasn't looking for her. Eila in the end did not care either. He decided to take a shower because today he will work at his friend Louis's company.
After taking a shower and wearing his office clothes, he picked up his belongings and went downstairs. Erva and Elylia had breakfast. Eila just took a piece of bread.
Eila peeping head of Elylia, “mama go to work first yes dear. Breakfast in the end continues to leave school with Erva, okay.”
“Any mama,”
“Erva, do not snack carelessly, if you buy food see first hygenis what not, nutritious what not. Know?” Eila reminded Erva.
“Iya kak,”
¤¤¤
Eila is now in a Louis company called LE Company, originally LA Company somehow in turn became LE Company. Eila went straight in and headed for Louis's room, and of course Louis's room was on the top floor. He got on the elevator, and walked into Louis's room.
Eila knocked on the door waiting to be invited in. “Please sign in,” says Louis.
Eila opened the door and sat down in the chair in front of Louis. “Good morning sir,” greet Eila politely.
Louis laughed at Eila's words to make the master confused, “astaga Eil, I'm strange with you talking formally like that,” explained Louis.
Eila smiled clumsyly, she was also a little awkward talking formally with her best friend this one. “Yaa, how else, now you're my boss.” Her speech.
“Liet me, if the same I talk like usually. But if there are other employees you can use formal language.”
“Not fair dong if the cake is like that,”
“Boss order loh, time rejected? Want to get fired huh?” god Louis.
“Gosh Lou, lo from SMA, college, until now just ngeselin.” Annoyed Eila.
“Ahahaha, not Louis if not make lo kelin, lo funny if again kesel.” Reveal honestly.
“Bodo ah, anyway I need to use formal language if again work, beyond that I use the language as usual.” Eila Strictly. “Now, you don't give work to me so?” ask Eila.
“Iyadeh is up to you, the files are already in the room all, if for example there are things that you do not understand, you can ask me.” Light Louis got a nod from Eila.
Eila then went to her room in front of Louis's room, and she read the files that were neatly arranged in her work closet.

Today Eila came home early because her work was done, she saw the clock was still at 11:30, she decided to pick up Elylia at school.
Arriving at the school, he waited in front of the school gate. Before long it looked Elylia who came out with her cheerful face. Eila waved her hand with a smile towards her daughter.
Elylia who knew her mother was invited felt very happy, she ran a little hug Eila. “Mama does not work? How to pick up Elylia?”
“Honey work, today mama came home early so can pick you up,” replied Eila.
“Ma, to papa yuk's office, we give you a surprise,” invite Elylia.
Eila thought for a moment, at this time she did not want to face Arka but she also did not want to refuse her daughter's request. In the end Eila nodded in agreement. They got into the car and headed to Arka's office.
“So at school Elylia learn what dear?” ask Eila in the car.
“Tadi Elylia learned equal sum of subtraction, there continue to be monkeys ma, there are giraffes, birds, rhinos, elephants, cats, cows, goats the same horse.” Reply Elylia spirit.
Eila was a little confused, why are there names of animals in math lessons? Until a few seconds later he understood, maybe his teacher used animal images as learning so that his students were not bored.
“Ohh, continue Elylia can not?” ask Eila again.
“Can dong, Elylia dapet value 100,” replied.
“Mommy's child pinter, later we learn together want?”
Elylia nods vigorously, “mauuu.”
¤¤¤
Eila and Elylia arrive at Arka's office. They immediately walked to Arka's room, not forgetting Eila greeted the office employees with a smile.
“That's his wife Mr Arka? Very beautiful,” praise one of the employees.
Eila opened the door to Arka's room, and was surprised to see Arka making out with another woman. Eila immediately turned her body and took Elylia away from Arka's office.
Eila's eyes glazed over, her chest tight, yesterday at the night market Eila also saw Arka making out with a woman. And this time he again saw the thing that made him hurt, since when did Arka play behind him? If he loves that woman why would he marry her, why not just marry that woman?
“Mama why go back?” ask Elylia plain.
Eil's steps came to a halt, he bent his legs in alignment with his daughter's height. “Honey, papa is working. Surely papa is busy, so we should not disturb let papa cepet's work is finished can continue to go home to see us.” Clearly Eila.
¤¤¤
At home, Eila was studying with Elylia, then feeding her daughter for lunch, and accompanying her nap. After Elylia fell asleep, Eila kissed the top of her daughter's head and went out into the kitchen.
As he passed by the living room, he saw Kris watching television. Eila dropped her intention into the kitchen, approached Kris and sat down in front of her.
“Ngapain lo here?” ask Eila.
“Gue wants to play,” answers lie. “Arka again in the office huh?” ask Kris.
“According to lo?”
“Yes again in the office anyway, I also just from there and saw him again make out with other girls.” Said Kris hesitated to say it, he was afraid of what kind of response Eila.
Kris' goal here was to help Eila solve her problem. At first Kris thought he did not need to interfere, but if this is how Eila and Arka's relationship could end before starting. Kris helps Eila not because she likes, but she just wants to return the favor.
Eila was surprised to pretend not to know, “oh huh? Good dong, later I same Arka can divorce and Arka can marry the same girl. I'm also confused if he likes the girl why marry me the same? Aye?”
Kris was a little distrustful of Eila's response, he thought Eila would be angry but he didn't. And without Kris knowing, Eila from yesterday held back her anger and pain in her heart. “Lo think I'll be angry? No, here the powerful Arka so the rights he would cheat or not, Arka, faster parting is better because I can be free to do whatever I want without having to ask permission to him,”.
