Until When Should I Be?

16. Sinta's in a bad mood

That morning, Jamal frowned in wonder when he saw the face as swollen as his wife. Not to mention there is no warm greeting and light kiss that his wife used to do every morning. Is his wife having nightmares.

"What's wrong with you, baby?" jamal asked while sitting in his chair. He ate the breakfast his wife had prepared with a sense of unease. Worried that his wife's sick or something.

"Why can I?" tukas Sinta asked back. "I'm okay!" she continued with great emphasis without looking at her husband. He was afraid that he would not be able to keep everything and went on a rampage this peaceful morning. Just because of one phone call he picked up and he felt bad. Even worse than being visited every day by her husband's family first.

"You're not sick anymore, are you? Let's go to the doctor. I'm worried, honey."

Sinta closed her eyes. Usually she would feel moved by the little attention of her husband, but now it felt like a knife slicing through her heart. Sinta imagined the word dear was not just for himself. The attention was just a falsehood packed in such a way and made him fall asleep all this time.

"I'm not sick! I can go to the office and don't mind me?!" ketus Sinta left the dining table with annoyed steps.

Jamal frowned more and more, but a second later he nodded as if understanding. "Ah, maybe the monthly guest is coming. That's why he's emotional like that,"

Jamal continued eating and went to work afterwards. Not forgetting he told his wife's two bodyguards to pay more attention to Sinta who was in a bad mood. Jamal also asked to be contacted if anything happened to his wife.

"What's up with the lady, huh?" ask Eve who happens to be on guard duty today.

Lea shrugged her shoulders unconcerned. "It's none of our business. We're just here to take care of her, not her personal life or her mood!"

"If that I know too. But strangely squirming him who is usually full of enthusiasm and always smiling cheerfully even daydreaming and sighing a lot. As if there was a problem to think about," whispered Eve hapal with her very energetic employer. But today, such cloud cover over the agility of their master.

"I don't want to interfere in their business. I'm here to be paid only to work according to what I'm told. We're bodyguards, not baby sitters who have to pay attention to the mood of our employers" Lea said firmly.

Eve thought for a moment, after which she nodded in agreement. His friend's words were right, but still it felt like something was wrong if the master immediately changed the mood in just a day. "You are here, let me approach him and ask. Who knows if he needs a talkative,"

"Whatever!" lea was lazy to interfere. It is up to his partner to do what, which is clear he does not want to be dragged into the problems of the employers. He was only here to work according to the salary he received. Not friends with those who pay him.

"Did any plants die from pests, madam?" hatchling Eve started a conversation.

Sinta gasped in shock for a moment, after which the woman shook her head while smiling forcefully. "Oh, no. Everything is fine" he said with a hanging tone.

"Then why did you sigh that much since a moment ago, madam? Is there anything you're thinking? I can be a good listener so that the lady's heart feels lighter" Eve asked her master to talk to her if there were any problems to think about. Maybe he can't help or provide solutions, but he can be a good listener who will shut his mouth after that.

Sinta's mouth is open. A few seconds later, the woman closed her mouth. He swallowed back the words he was about to say just because of his bad mood. "There's nothing, but thank you for volunteering to be my best friend, Eve,"

"Together, madam. I'm just not used to seeing you breathe that much. Usually you are very excited and happy every time you spend time to take care of the park,"

"All right then, madam. Excuse me to go back to the guard post first. Remember to find me if you need a friend to tell you a story, ma'am!"

Sinta nodded letting Eve get back to where she was. Shortly thereafter, the woman decided to return to her room. He just has to fill the time with various activities so that his mind is not more wild to imagine everywhere. Maybe she just misunderstood, surely her husband would explain if she asked right. The problem is, Sinta does not want to bring this up at all. She was afraid to hear what answer her husband would give if she questioned it. Let's just say that the woman was afraid of facing the truth that might destroy the palace that she had been building in her heart.

At the office, during break time. Barrel rushed into his friend's room. He put on a tense face and looked extremely panicked.

"Is there bad news?" jamal asked astonished by the behavior of his playmates. "It's not usually that you go in such a hurry like this" the man commented.

"Then what should I do, huh? Like you're not gonna have a problem, are you?" hardik Laras looks very upset.

"Oi, oi, Race. Relax, please calm down and don't get angry, okay?!" jamal tries to calm his best friend. "Drink first." Jamal gave a glass of water to Laras to make the woman calmer.

"Is it time to calm down???" laras' emotions are mounting. "Can you just calm down after knowing what happened to me?" the woman continued to be upset.

"Huh? Stop, jerk! What the hell is going on? I don't know what the fuck you're talking about anymore, anyway?!"

Baras rubbed his face rough. It feels like he curses and then lunges at his best friend with his fist. But unfortunately they are still in the office. It's not funny if he becomes a spectacle material for attacking his own boss.

"What a problem last night, you idiot! I'm talking on the phone. Don't tell me you don't want to or even not be horrified because you're still half asleep when you get a call from me?!" laras's eyes narrowed suspiciously, it could have happened.

"Call? Which phone is it? When's? I didn't get a call from you, anyway,"

Laras gawked at the statement from his friend. "Continue .. Who called me last night?" of course there was one person in the shadow of Laras. But really, he did not dare to think about the possibility of that happening.

"Don't ...?" the two exchanged views. A second later they swore together.

"Si*l, why can this session*l, anyway? What luck have I been making?!"

"Be*o, what did you say last night? Si*l, is this because Sinta's attitude was a little strange this morning?"

"Where should you think of how to do this! You have an idea and I'm just helping, so you take care of all the problems as agreed!"

"I know, but please tell me what you said on the phone. What might Sinta hear from you, Ras?"

Baras said everything without anything to hide. Either way it's his fault for not making sure who took his call last night. But really he did not intend to make things worse by adding to the problem. He just wanted Jamal to think of another way they could stop playing. That's it, there's nothing else but that.
