Firmansyah drove Santi straight to her apartment, not stopping by one bit. The journey from Doni restaurant to the apartment was quiet without any talk between Firmansyah and Santi. Along the way, Firmansyah was silent as if daydreaming, and every word from Santi he never responded. Santi, who felt something was wrong with her lover, held Firmansyah back from the apartment immediately. But Firmansyah reasoned to have invited a meeting at the company.
"Later in the first mas, there are still people who want Santi to screw up. From the restaurant to the apartment, mas Forman didn't give him a chance to talk."
"Not now Santi. Another time.., I already invited a team meeting at the company at 14. Look it's almost that hour now." Firmansyah did not turn off his car, but Santi still did not intend to get out of the car immediately.
"Santi, understand my position. What the hell do you want from me?" continued Firmansyah who had been lazy to deal with Santi.
"Whose girl did we meet at the restaurant? Your doll wife, why don't you introduce her to me."
"What do you mean ask me that. I told you that girl is Naura, did I ever promise you that I would introduce you to Naura?"
"But we've talked about it, and we've agreed that the girl will leave your life without you taking your assets with you."
Firmansyah smiled cynically, then looked at Santi.
"Santi.., I do not feel any obligation to introduce Naura to you. Please do your own efforts to be able to approach it. I myself have never been able to talk to her both intensely. Get out now, before I call the apartment security to get you out of my car."
"Why are you being so cruel to me. What exactly is my fault. I've always stood by you, accompanied you, served you whenever you wanted me. But, how much you have today for me. Is it because you met Naura, and without you knowing it already appeared your race to the snot girl."
"What are you talking to me, Santi? I told you to get out of the car right now. Lazily I talk to people who have been overwhelmed with jealousy." exclaimed Firmansyah in a high tone.
Exasperated by Firmansyah's high voice, Santi unceremoniously got out of the car and went straight into the apartment. Without speaking, Firmansyah directly runs the company towards the company. But at the crossroad, Firmansyah turned the car to the right towards his residence. Without hesitation he ran his car directly towards his house, and when it reached the gate seen Joko running open the gate.
"Master has arrived home at this hour? Something I need to get Mister ready for." Bi Ijah was shocked to see that his master had reached the house this afternoon.
"Make me juice as usual. Take her to the study, I'll be working from home this afternoon."
"Good sir." Bi Ijah immediately left Firmansyah and headed straight for the kitchen.
Arriving at the family room, Firmansyah stopped for a while, then looked at the dining table to see no one. Finally in front of Naura's room, he also stopped his steps, but did not listen to any sounds from inside his wife's room.
"Not yet to home. Am I a numb person and have no feelings?" Firmansyah spoke to herself. He went straight into the reading room, and turned on the computer in the room.
Not long after, Bi Ijah came up with a mix of juice for her.
"Master has lunch yet huh? If you're not going to get Auntie ready at the dinner table, or Aunt drive you to this room, sir?"
"no need. I've eaten Bi. The house looks empty. Naura hasn't come home yet?"
"Bibi's new guy told me to go out to the mini market, sir. There's something I want to buy. Non Naura had also not reached home from earlier, it seemed like she was today taking the Trial of Awareness. Good luck with the exam, and get good grades, sir."
"Hmm.., leave me alone."
"Good sir."
Bi Ijah rushed out of the reading room.
"Tumben-tumbenan asked his wife. Since Non Naura was first brought here, you have never considered her a wife. And it also seems that Non Naura has never invited him to sleep. Hopefully it stays like this, so Non naura will get a fine male change." Bi Ijah was immersed in his own thoughts and daydreams.
In the evening, Edward, who had just finished his bath, came home from work late to Naura's room. He knocked on Naura's room three times, but did not listen to the answer from inside the room. Finally Edward walked into the kitchen to make hot sweet tea. Just reaching the dining room, he heard the sound of people talking in front of the back porch. Edward came to the voice, and saw Naura talking to Bi Ijah and Ujang.
"Aunty Naura, apparently here. That's why I knocked on the door of the room no one said from the inside." cried Edward.
They looked directly at Edward, who was sitting next to Naura.
"What's looking for me Edward. From the end of dinner, I've been here chatting with Bi Ijah, and Ujang just came to join here."
"Just want to. How was your awareness test last afternoon, Success right?"
"Yes thank goodness. Fortunately I was able to answer all the questions asked by the Examiner Team, and it was decided I graduated with an A." Naura said with a smile, and it was clear that a happy hue was adorning her face.
"Certainly Aunty? If so, we should give this thanks. Once in a while we go out to eat together, where. Try aunty say the same Om Fir to hold a thanksgiving meal together at the restaurant. Or if you don't want to, let's eat with the four of you, then I'll be the one who treats." said Edward who seemed to be happy with the happy news he just heard.
"No need for Edward. It just so happens that we just finished eating. You haven't had dinner yet?"
"Bi.., prepare dinner first for Edward Bi, then continue to chat again." continued Naura again.
'If eating at home is not fun. We've never been this long, just out together to eat together. Quality time is that."
"Well, next time we plan. For the time being, Naura honestly did not lie to Edward. I feel accomplished once, this is all I've been wanting to get into the room. I want to sleep." again Naura subtly refused Edward's invitation.
"Wah Aunty always refused my invitation anyway. Why, aunty afraid what if Om Firmansyah jealous? Well, let Om not be jealous, it's easy. Om Fir we invite quality time."
"It's not because it's Edward. But really, I feel accomplished. It was 16:15 I just got home. It also wants to collect the requirements for the judiciary. Let's get through graduation fast."
"Or why would you go out together if Non graduation only Mr? more exciting, because Non Naura is no longer a burden." said Ujang.
"Good idea Ujang." cried Naura while giving a thumbs up.
"Well, I agree, Bi.., prepare dinner for me now." said Edward.
"Good Young Master."
Finally their nighttime chat ended, with Naura returning to the room. Edward still had his own dinner at the dinner table.
