UNINTENTIONALLY

Episode 160's

“I'm not a motivator let alone an inspiration. I'm just a narrator without indicators.”

“Pelan-pelan darling.”

“Iya it's slow.”

“Don't be too tight. You make it hard for me to breathe.”

“It's done.”

Dinda tied the baby's sling to Steve's back. His son is in the car in front. Today Steve wants to take Dinda for a walk all shopping.

“Depart now.”

Dinda shakes. “Then tomorrow, it's different.”

“I guess we leave tomorrow.”

“All of you leave just as the earth hugs the sun. So there is a phenomenon.”

“Not funny ah. The doomsday.”

“Lagian. Still in tanya.”

They look good this morning. Steve changed his work clothes into casual clothes.

Who would have thought, Father of one child still looks charming. Doesn't look like a father, it's still fresh like a hot virgin.

“Kak Stevie is up yet?” ask Steve.

It was this time, Steve remembered. His sister always woke up at nine o'clock. Steve sees his brother awake every night. It could be, at four o'clock more he slept while hiding in this house with them.

“But,” Reply Dinda. “Maybe in a minute.” Dinda looked at the clock on the wall. Estimates Dinda, maybe five or ten more minutes the woman will wake up.

“I know. He just slept this morning. Sometimes I feel sorry to see him who is always forced to marry.”

Dinda shrugged both of her shoulders, she was also confused. Stevie's path of thought is hard to guess. “Should we take Stevie to the mall?”

“A hundred percent she will reject.”

°°°°°

The office break has just arrived. Zico brought Vanya to eat at the restaurant across the street from the office. Zico held the woman's hand, while Vanya was nervous. It's still the same as before. Many people go back and forth on this road, but Zico does not want to date like a teenager.

“New first time treated like this. I feel awkward.”

It was unusual for Vanya. No man had dared to hold her hand like this before. Even when he was with Johan, Vanya never got any warmth from the man's hands.

Zico glanced at Vanya, his lover from earlier was silent as Zico clasped his hand.

Not knowing if Vanya is comfortable or not, I hope I don't make Vanya feel pressured by this pretentious romantic attitude of mine.

“Vanya..” Zico called him a bit doubtful. The woman turned her head, a moment before she looked down embarrassed. “Do you feel awkward?”

“I dare not admit it.”

Zico smiled faintly, he turned his body around. Just this time he was acting strangely in front of a woman.

“Do not be afraid. This might be our first lunch. I hope you get used to it going forward.”

“I want to try it. But I still doubt.”

“Because in noticed by the office people?”

Vanya nodded weakly. “I'm afraid they're making a no-no rumor about me.

“For example?”

“Like: Vanya approached Mr. Zico, because he is handsome and well-established. And blah blah blah.... That's how they'll rub me later.”

“You're sure they'll say that?” Zico held onto both of Vanya's shoulders, he wanted to stare at that sad face.

“I'm very sure that they will say so.”

“Hus,” snorting Zico cross. “Why should think about the speech of others. Even though bon chili is spicy, it does not mean that every speech of people will be spicy like the ingredients of the manufacturer. But enough to enjoy. They will also be quiet by themselves. Just like bon cabe, sold because it wants to be enjoyed even though it tastes spicy.”

“Really. I have not been strong enough to accept this reality.”

“That we will be rumored to be dating?”

Vanya flicked her lips, weaving languidly. “I still think about it.”

Women like to think about other people's words. Even if it's not true. Different from men, who are always indifferent to spicy speech.

“Forget that, we're having lunch now. Don't think of anything else.”

........

Zico and Vanya had already arrived at the restaurant where they wanted to go. The atmosphere was quite crowded, both of them chose to sit at a table close to the entrance of the customer.

They ordered expensive food. Zico is not a stingy man, although Vanya refused the food ordered by her boyfriend.

Vanya knew, she was already used to expensive food. It's just, since his family descended drajad. Vanya tried to get her tongue used to it. Including trying to eat tempeh and tofu.

When the food arrived, Zico treated her romantically. He cuts meat for Vanya. The same thing Steve often does.

“Please on meal,” Zico said on Vanya.

Although somewhat embarrassed, Vanya tried to eat it gracefully.

“Thank you.”

When he saw Zico with his wife chewing meat. Vanya. He was indeed handsome, only that Zico had never noticed him.

Although he's not a businessman or a family conglomerate. Zico is a rich man, and a hard worker. I felt lucky to be the first woman to stop in her heart.

I know, me and Zico make a lot of difference. But I try to lean and stand in line with him. Although I was aware, the distance between me and Zico was very far. But when he was by my side, why did I feel like he was a man who had understood me for so long.

“Why silent. Come on eat.” Zico. He realized, Vanya had been watching him since.

“Oh. Ja. Excuse me. I daydream.”

“The food is not good?” ask Zico. “Or..... You don't like the cooking here. Or maybe the food here does not suit your taste. You can say, we can find another place to eat you want.”

“Oh no, no.” quickly Vanya stopped Zico who was about to take him away. The man was standing. It feels guilty that Vanya refused this lunch. That's not what he thinks. “I really like the food here. We don't go.”

“Then why are you daydreaming?”

Vanya mengulu* her lips. He sat back on the chair, continuing to eat them again. Followed by Zico, who also sat back down.

“I'm just thinking about you. That's why I'm a little washed away.”

Zico held Vanya's right hand. On the soft swipe of the back of Vanya's hand, Zico understood Vanya's intentions even though the woman did not say it clearly.

“I told you. Between me and you there were no secrets in the past. You and I are looking to the future. Why else think and remember events that have passed. I won't think much of you and your past.”

“You are very understanding. I've always been cupped to that part.”

“Forget the past. Let's continue lunch today.”

°°°°°°

Dinda and Steve enter the mall. They passed through several children's clothing stores. But there was one place that caught Steve's attention. A clothing store near the restaurant on the second floor of the mall.

They were going to buy Iqbal new clothes. This kid is getting heavier and fatter. All of his clothes barely fit his body anymore.

“Clothes here are good. We just buy it all for Iqbal.”

Dinda's careless eyes saw all the clothes in this store, suddenly rounded in the corner of the counter lips.

“Walau here the clothes are nice. It doesn't mean we have to buy everything. Wasting. I don't like.”

“My son is very suitable if all these clothes are tried. Why do you constantly refuse if I want to buy all the clothes here.”

“Steve. His eyes looked at Steve with annoyed glare. “Iqbal's body is getting bigger and bigger. Growth will continue to increase. If you buy all the clothes here, some will not be used. I suppose it has to be in vain. Waste of money only.”

“He's my son. Everything should be good. To make him handsome like his father.”

Dinda shook her head, she exhaled a heavy breath. “But I don't like it when Iqbal is a kid buying expensive clothes. Simply simple clothes at standard prices only. No need to overdo it.”

Steve was really upset, too. Dinda always refused. But the money will not run out if you buy a whole store. But his wife is too frugal, Steve does not like it like it continues.

Steve took off his hat, then pinned it on the mannequin head. Yes, the store they visited was not just a children's clothing store. But a family clothing store, complete.

“Then. I'm not gonna wear this hat. Let the women out there see my face. All these masks, what do I use them for.”

Some of the female employees in this store were stunned. When they saw Steve without a face mask, they seemed hypnotized. Dinda purposefully went out with Steve every time, had to put on her husband a face cover or a head covering. He was afraid Steve would be in the lyrics of a random woman.

“You don't do that.” Dinda tried to grab back the hat and mask that Steve threw away. But Steve refuses when Dinda returns him to her husband.

“I and Iqbal today will not hide behind that mask or hat. I won't do it.”

Dinda glanced at the two grim employees when she saw them having a small fight. Embarrassed to notice, Dinda pulls Steve's arm, taking him out of the store.

“You guys are too prominent. That's why I don't want people to see you guys.”

“Reason.”

“Oath. I don't want you guys like this.” Dinda put on a somewhat groggy and teary face. His sparkling eyes made Steve frugal in Emotion embroidery.

“Already. Forget the Iqbal shirt. We're looking for an ice cream shop. I want that.”

Dinda nodded, her face slightly bent. Her husband almost made a small argument.

“We went to the ice cream shop near the cafe there. There the ice cream is delicious and fresh.”

Thankfully, Steve wasn't so angry. Steve almost made Dinda upset. This man, if he's angry, everything for Dinda is a horror. He would never give his son to Dinda again.

When passing some food places on the second floor of the mall. There were several photographic crews passing right in front of Dinda and Steve. They were busy carrying property.

Steve and Dinda's focus is sidetracked, as the people's busyness gets in the way.

But accidentally, Steve hit one of the crew who brought drinks. Until the drink soaked Steve's pants.

“Oh sorry. I accidentally,” he said first admit the mistake.

“Dendy?” when Dinda saw him, Dinda realized the boy was in this mall too. “You..”.

“Loh. Sister dinda.”

Not surprised. It was just that his eyes were a little careless when he saw that one little family was in front of him.

“You why it's here.”

Dinda looked left right, usually this child went with Miko or Niko. Because of their familiarity, Dinda poults anyone who is usually with Dendy.

“Anu brother. I......”.

“Hoi Den's. Kok bengong,” reprimand Miko.

When Dendy is confused as to what to say, Miko comes from behind. He pats his friend on the shoulder, but Miko has not realized that there is Dinda near Dendy.

“Miko...”.

It's unexpected. Dinda knows, Dendy and Miko must be together. No wonder, the two children were so clingy.

“Loh. Brother Dinda...” Miko was a bit surprised, her brother was also in the mall. Oh, her brother saw Miko rather neatly, in a black suit complete with matching clothes. Miko knew, her brother would definitely wonder why she was here. Also with neat clothes, ala office workers.

“You...” Dinda looked at him with an interrogation face, but Miko responded with an anxious shrunken face.

“Iya kak.”

“So model?”

Miko nodded while biting her lower lip. Sometimes also folded out his lips, his face was a bit teary. “Miko thinks there is no work at home. It's good to do activities outside.”

Steve nudged Dinda, he whispered softly. “Didn't the money from working as a model in my office received Miko quite a lot. Why she still works as a model.”

“Maybe the fashion— is like that,” reply Dinda whispered.

Undoubtedly. Dinda understands, Miko already has a proportional body, this allows her to easily become a model.

“Then. So what model are you here for. Where's the photo shoot?” asked Dinda with panted eyes. Look to the left right, find the location of the potoshoot.

Miko has not had time to reply, a teenage daughter the age of Dinda's sister. Come a little run small, while lifting the white wedding dress. Looks beautiful, compatible with Miko.

“Sorry I'm late. Let's get married!”

Hearing that, Dinda was shocked. He looked at Steve's face, and a moment later he looked at the faces of the three children.

“You....”.

“Oh. Not kak.” Miko understood, surely Dinda would think that she and the woman next to her would get married. Miko quickly tried to explain her situation. “We both....”.

“Oh. We're gonna be a couple. Sorry if you didn't invite.” This woman snatched Miko's words. While Miko and Dendy patted the eel, because this one female model is quite plain.

Dinda knows that they are models of bridal wear. That was what Miko thought, surely her brother would think that she would marry young.

“You think the same as me?” steve whispered to Dinda.

Dinda nodded, her face somewhat sad. “It has not been two years since we got married. And now Miko is getting married too. It's family identity pollution.”

“Not. Not like that, brother.”

Not knowing how to explain it, Miko was confused. The female model messed up the atmosphere. Miko nudged Dendy, asking her friend to explain what really happened. Quickly the friend understood, Dendy explained.

“So gini kak. Miko and Selena are the models for the wedding dress. And today there's a photo shoot, which is why they're dressed as brides. And she's not getting married like Selena said. Yes, Sel.”

The female model was just a whimper, while Miko managed to blink, breathing a sigh of relief.

“Aman.”
