There's Only Us

Motor Strike

The capital's smooth streets without traffic as usual are now passing Gavin. The initial intention of wanting to talk about land problems in the orphanage was delayed due to the arrival of Nara and her two children.

Problems that should have been completed now even have to be delayed, not to mention the work in the office that piles up. A work desk full of files makes the head more dizzy.

Gavin sighed, his gaze pointing out the window of the car. Staring at tall buildings in Jakarta. There was nothing interesting, as Gavin's mind was set in another direction.

The shadows in the orphanage still flashed in his memory. Since his encounter with Nara, Gavin's life has been different. Though he had only met three times but did not know why, Gavin felt he had a bond with Nara.

While hugging the slipped Nara, her eyes looked at both of Nara's eyes which made her feel familiar again. A strange feeling again arose, Gavin did not know what it was.

Cars drove, the roads that did not jam made them arrive faster. The car is parked in a special place. Gavin came out, staring at the tall building he was working in before entering.

The sunlight made him feel glare. Gavin walks into the office, the employees bowing respectfully as they see their boss coming.

The 48th floor became the destination, riding a special elevator for employees who have high positions. Followed by Gavin's assistant who always faithfully accompanies.

Just entering the study, Gavin noticed his wife sitting on the couch playing on her phone. A pretty face and a nice body did not interest Gavin at all.

"What are you here for?" Gavin asked without stopping and headed towards his seat.

"I miss you, I want to be alone too.. "

Jovanka put down her phone and she walked over to Gavin, hugging Gavin's neck from behind.

The disturbed and uncomfortable Gavin brushed off Jovanka's hand that was coiled around her neck. He was already feeling tight due to the tie that tied around the neck, plus Jovan's embrace that made him feel uncomfortable.

"Better you go home, I don't have time to be alone with you!"

Jovanka clucked, "I've been waiting for you almost 2 hours until I'm bored and my legs tingle, but you want to push me?"

"Who told you to come here? It's working hours now, so I'm busy. There's no time for anything else."

"Where did you run out of? I came with you, your secretary said you were gone from 8am. But why are you just back at this hour?"

Gavin exhales violently, this is what Gavin does not like about women. Too meddling in all the things he did, already like inmates in interrogation.

Gavin put down the pen and looked at the wife sitting in front of him. He had to immediately get his wife to leave in order to be calm at work.

"I have business outside, I just came back because I had lunch. So, you better go home, I've got a lot of work to do."

Jovanka's frustration grew, she felt it was futile to come to Gavin's office. The initial intention to invite her husband to lunch even ended up being kicked out of her own husband's room.

After several arguments, Jovanka returns home. Despite Jovanka's anger, Gavin doesn't care. The most important thing is that his work is done and he doesn't need overtime.

Elsewhere, Nara and her two children were sitting in the living room, waiting for Mira's mother who was going to the room. No one talks between them.

Nessa who felt the atmosphere of silence was not able to stand it, her mouth was itching to talk. His fingers were squeezing each other, confused as to where to start.

"Emmm... Bun?"

"Yes?"

Nara looked at Nessa who was calling her, from earlier Nara was just looking at the mobile phone. He was thinking about what happened in the kitchen.

"I-it's.. Mother was in the kitchen why the same embrace of Gavin?"

She had been thinking about what Nessa asked. Nessa's age is still small, but her curiosity is so great, that Nara has to be patient if faced with strange questions from Nessa.

"Mother was flinched, so it was Gavin who nolongin Mommy." Answer Nara honestly. Nessa is just ooh-riya, don't ask further.

"Mother, Nevan knows that Gavin looks like Nevan, yes."

"Huh?" Nara's reflexes turned to look at Nevan.

His son who had been silent since then suddenly made a sound, let alone heard Nevan's words that were true, did not know Nara had to how to answer him.

Nevan looked at her mother who looked nervous, waiting for an answer from Nara's mouth. But Mira's mother came and distracted her.

Nara breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the clock that had shown one o'clock at noon. Nara has to go to the boutique immediately and finish her work.

"Mom.. Nara can't nitipin the kids here? Nara still has a lot of work in the boutique. But Nara's mallem will pick up the kids, really."

"Yes, it's okay. I'd love to play with both of them."

"Thank you, Mom.. "

Nara takes her bag, she kisses the back of Mira's mother's hand. Then he nodded to his two children.

"Mother go first, yeah. Don't be naughty, you'll be picked up."

"Yes Mother.. " Answer both.

Nara came out and headed to her bike. Wear a helmet and start the engine. Before leaving, Nara waved her hand at Nessa and Nevan.

Motor running at medium speed. It took me half an hour to get to the shop. Nara parked her motorbike, removed her helmet and allowed her hair to tangle in the wind.

Look at the boutique that looks crowded. He had just come during the day, and did not expect that his boutiques today were crowded. Upon entering the boutique, Nara's employees greeted.

Footsteps lead him to the workspace, his body was thrown away because he felt sore due to sitting too long on the motorbike.

After feeling enough, Nara immediately did her job. If not for a dissatisfied customer, Nara is actually lazy to re-create a clothing design that he thinks is good.

But, human tastes are different, so Nara still understands it. Nara prefers to create new designs, looking for inspiration to make an outfit.

But soon Nara tepis, for now it is better to finish the work that is in sight. Unconscious if it is late afternoon. Nara's room door was knocked.

"Come in. " said Nara without turning her head and was still busy with her paper and pen.

"Mom, Nara. The time for the boutique to close, the others are also home. Mama Nara doesn't want to go home?"

Indi came to Nara's place because Nara had not come out yet when it was time to go home. He intends to go home but before that Indi must hand over the key to the boutique to Nara.

Nara glanced at the clock, it was time to go home from work. But Nara felt a sense of responsibility. The picture is soon finished.

"You go home first, I want to finish this first. Oh yeah, put the keys in there." Nara pointed towards the bag.

After Indi's departure, Nara was again busy. Not felt when it is almost night. Nara got up from her seat and stretched out her two sore hands.

Then Nara immediately prepared to return to the orphanage. Pick up her two children and go home. Usually Nara will stay, but this time Nara is not wanted.

When it was outside, Nara tried to turn on the bike but could not. Nara clucked, at a time like this why the bike suddenly broke down.

Nara became confused herself as to how. The night was getting late but he was still in front of the boutique. After trying many times but still not being able to, Nara almost felt desperate.

Until a black car stops in front of Nara, the light of the car lights makes Nara close her eyes. After the car lights went off, Nara tried to see who was coming.
