After they had told me a long time in that deserted corridor.
"Let's clean up first, after that we'll go out for dinner and drive around for a while to the old town" Ike began to rise from his seat and was immediately followed by Aruna who did not reply but followed him from behind.
.
"Put Ninta here and then take a bath, I'll give her breast milk before we go" Ike pinta patted the mattress right in front of her.
While Adi Ninta's father just sat playing mobile phone in front of the room's ornamental closet.
.
Aruna had time to daydream under the shower that released the warm water. His tears united with the flow of tap water that soaked his entire body.
Aruna started rubbing all over her curves without any expression, her mind drifting somewhere.
Aruna finished preparing as well as Ike and Adi.
" Let me just carry it" said Aruna asked for a sling hanging over Ike's shoulder.
They walked down the stairs to the lobby of the inn, Ninta was very comfortable in Aruna's arms, She was not fussy at all.
Before arriving at the dinner place Ninta was already soundly asleep.
.
After finishing dinner each of them rushed towards the old city.
They passed the street filled with hawker traders.
" What do you want to eat? , you'll get tired of sitting there without snacks" Ike asked Aruna who was walking behind her.
"Whatever" Aruna replied looking around her.
.
The old city that night was very crowded, people were sitting piled up to form groups.
The buskers pacing back and forth carrying makeshift musical instruments.
" Let's just sit here" Ike asked to start taking off his footwear and followed by Adi and Aruna.
Adi did not say much at the time, he only followed the 2 women.
.
" Are you going with us to Pemalang? "
Ike asked Aruna.
" No"
" I have to go back to Depok first, my stuff is still there, you gave me the news when I was in Ciputat so I didn't bring it all back then "
" o so "
" When will you guys be back? "
" tomorrow afternoon I will take you back to Ciputat and the day after tomorrow morning we will go home "
" How much longer are you gonna keep this? " Aruna's eyes looked at Ike and Adi alternately.
" All my family knows the deck, it's just that your brother is very hard to be honest with your mother. I've persuaded him several times to go home, but still he refused "Adi started to make a sound.
" Have you guys thought about the worst possibility when you saw mom? "
" what do you mean,? Ask ike wonder
"Do you think he'll just shut up and take things easy?? You have to keep thinking about the worst possible situation just in case. When plan A fails, there is plan B.
If he accepts it easily it's a good thing. But what do you do when he refuses?" aruna
.
"No, he won't refuse "answered Ike Yakin.
" You're so sure. What if he told you to choose? Are you leaving Ninta and her father? "
" Of course not"
"What if he casts you out and doesn't accept you? "
" We will go and live together until he wants to accept us" Ike glanced at Adi who was just silent to digest the language of his wife and sister-in-law.
"In this situation do not imagine the good, prepare your mind for all the worst possibilities"
"Yes" reply ike briefly.
.
"Whatever's gonna happen you're not gonna let them go, are you bang? " Aruna stared intently at Adi
" I'll fight them deck! "
" Yes.. Please finish it immediately "
.
.
After the sound of an alarm indicating that the old town was about to close, they returned to the inn to rest because tomorrow morning Aruna wanted to see a short look at Monas.
