The Stupid Shaft

A BOOK

"What do you mean?" ricky asked, his eyes full of hope.

"What Ricky heard of course" replied Dito casually, his hand reaching for the ballpoint lying on the table.

Actually Ricky can hear clearly what Dito said before, but he wanted to make sure that what he caught his ear was not wrong. Ricky notices Dito twirling the ballpoint in his hand.

"Say, Dito! What do you mean?" Ricky's tone began to change, he was impatient to know the truth of Deta's heart.

The corner of Dito's lips was attracted to form a smile. "Look down, brother," Dito looked at the agitated Ricky. "Well! Love is complicated. All right, listen to me!"

It had been almost an hour since Dania had looked at Deta, her eyes not feeling tired in the least.

"Enough, Dania!" deta snapped, he began to feel uncomfortable with the attitude of Dania.

A small whisper was heard from Dania's mouth. "Then answer my question! Why did Brother wrap Big Brother's body like this?" looking at Dania, his eyes squinted and looked at Deta suspiciously.

'Wrap up? She thought I was candy.' Deta's inner, but a smile remained on her lips.

"We're not in LN, Dania. It would be a strange thing if you were wearing the clothes you used to wear there." elak Deta, hoping your sister would swallow the reason without asking again.

Again Dania squinted her eyes, making her eyes narrow as if she was being closed. "really? But yesterday Brother was still wearing open clothes, and ... where was the clothes that Brother was wearing yesterday?"

This is what Deta dislikes most about Dania. The little girl had grown into a young girl who was smart and very thorough in everything, even worse, Dania was not easy to lie to.

Deta rolled her eyes, trying to figure out what was the most appropriate reason to trick Dania. "Sister gave the clothes to the loundry officer because yesterday Brother was hit by a strawberry juice spill."

Finally Deta could breathe a sigh of relief as Dania smiled and nodded her head, a sign she believed in Deta's words.

The atmosphere in the Sanjaya corporation building is now a little changed after Dito exited their CEO room.

Inside his office, Ricky kept smiling nonstop. Once again, he again finds a reason to have Deta. Although Deta has not said her heart, but Ricky is sure if Deta only loves her.

"Sister was never really married to Angga's sister. They were married only to get full custody of Rayyan. The wedding took place one year after we left. Brother never said it, but I know he still loves you. Make effort! If Ricky still loves his brother."

"Thank you, Dito," muttered Ricky, staring at a book Dito had given him.

The book was just an ordinary novel, but the cover of the book caught Ricky's attention. A man was looking up at the sky where there was a cloud that showed the lover's face as a picture of the book's cover.

"This is the first book you've written since we left here. At first I just wrote to forget you, but it turns out there are many people who like the writing until this book is on the market and at least change your life."

Ricky sighed deeply before opening the book. "Let's see, what are you writing in it, honey?"

When Ricky's hand was about to open the first page of the book, Refita suddenly came along with her twins.

"Uncle!!!" Call the two twins together. Their tiny bodies immediately rushed to hug Ricky who was still sitting in his chair.

"Fruit.. muah ...."

One by one Ricky kissed the two beautiful children with the same face. "Why didn't you guys come tell Uncle?'

"Surprise!!!" the two girls shouted and hugged Ricky again.

"Oh, jeez! Uncle was surprised." Ricky put on a surprised face so that his two nephews were happy.

Justright. The two girls smile happily and ask Ricky to accompany them both to play.

"Uncle has to work, honey, otherwise grandpa will be angry at uncle." Ricky refused subtly, dear, actually, he just wanted to read the book Dito gave because Ricky was impatient to know what was written by Deta.

A deep enough wrinkle formed on the forehead of the two adorable girls until they finally found an excellent solution according to them.

Hearing the proposal from his two daughters made Refita surprised and laughed. He knew that Ricky would not be able to resist the wishes of his twins, but he did not expect that he would be sacrificed by his two children.

"Alright, Mommy will work so you can have fun together with uncle" said Refita while putting her luxury bag on Ricky's desk.

"But, Brother"

"Go! Or they'll be mad at you." said Refita, as Ricky refused to leave.

"What can I do." lamented Ricky, his postal face provoked Refita's laughter.

"Yes, go! Who knows if you met your soul mate." persuaded Refita, he tried to pull Ricky's hand to get the man out of his chair.

Lazily, Ricky stepped his foot out of the room. He forgot that the book Dito gave him was still on his desk.

"Mommy? Mommy?" Rayyan's voice was heard throughout the house which immediately made Deta come to approach her son.

"Hi, Darling!" Deta had just come down the stairs and saw Rayyan who was in the sling of Angga.

"I miss you, Mom." Rayyan immediately hugged Deta, when Deta was already standing before Angga.

"I miss you too, Darling." Deta takes Rayyan from Angga's sling and unceasingly kisses Rayyan's adorable round cheeks.

Angga who has not said anything since just noticed Deta from the tip of his head to the tip of his feet. Angga was eager to ask Deta, but he knew that it was not the right time to ask that because Rayyan was with them.

"Mommy, I wanna play with you. (Mother, I want to play with you)." whining Rayyan, he even pretended to cry so Deta would obey.

"OK, Darling. Come on!" deta exclaimed, his steps excitedly. However, his hands were instantly held back by Angga.

"Are you going to wear clothes like this?" Angga's thick eyebrows almost fused due to the deepening frown on his forehead.

"Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?" cynical Deta, his attitude towards Angga never changed even though they had already lived together.

Angga smiled wryly. "No, as long as you're comfortable."

"Then, let's go to the playground!" cheers Deta, who immediately got support from Rayyan.

***

Elsewhere, Ricky is overwhelmed by handling his twin nephews. They are fussing over their playground.

"I want to go to the mall, Kay,"

"No. We're going to the library, Nayla!"

The debate has been going on all the way and makes Ricky confused to advance the direction of his car.

"How about we just go to the playground, my twin princess?"

The twins were seen weighing advice from Ricky, until finally they cheered.

"Garden play, here we come!!!"
