It rained quite heavily that night. Namira thinks of Arnav who fell asleep on the sofa. He came out after an hour of not being able to close his eyes since Arnav left the room. The man curled up on the sofa with his thick blanket. Namira was going to fix the blanket. He was also tempted to kiss Arnav's cheek. As he was tucking in and about to retreat, Arnav pressed his nape and kissed his lips. Increasingly deep and passionate, Arnav cannot control his longing for Namira.
"Stop." Namira pushes Arnav's body. With the dark atmosphere plus heavy rain, Arnav could not stem his feelings any longer. He took Namira to his room.
"Aren't you able to sleep with people who hate you?" Namira remembered the words of Arnav.
"So do you hate me? Don't ruin my mood for not arguing." Arnav.
Namira turned her eyes.
"Did that lip also touch another girl?" He asked without looking at Arnav.
"Oh so you think I'm that bad? Ask directly if you need an explanation. Don't guess. Whoever you're dealing with, learn to be firm in solving problems." Arnav looked at Namira furiously. He came back out of the room because his desire was gone.

This morning Namira felt bad. He was tired and stressed. This is a Sunday where there is no activity like the usual day.
"I ordered breakfast. Let's eat." Bring Namira awkwardly.
"Why not cook? You sick?" Ask David. Arnav will not pay attention to Namira.
"I'm fine. Just tired." Answer's flat.
"I want to take data today to the island of Karimun kak. I'm gonna take the train." David told Arnav.
"I'll drive to the station!" Tawar Arnav's.
"no need. I'll go with Namira." David answered his brother-in-law.
"You mean?" Namira asked confusedly.
"Take me to the station. I had to go somewhere." David Said. Namira who felt bad could only nod.
"David, I'm actually not feeling well." Complain Namira.
"I'll drive. You only have to drive when you get home from the station." Force David.
"Why did you force him?" Tegur Arnav's.
"Here, it's okay." Answer Namira. David was smiling.
"I'm full!" Arnav stops his meal in annoyance and goes into the room. He drinks coffee on the balcony of his room.
Namira went in to get her bag.
"You're really going?" Arnav stood up and went into the room.
"Yes." Yeah." Namira answered flatly.
"Your face is pale. I'll come along." Arnav yells while taking the jacket.
"no need. I have business with David." Answer's flat. Arnav sighed and took his wife's hand.
"You're still my wife. Don't forget that! You can't leave or stay away but with me!" Arnav.
"alright. Arnav can come." Namira could only give up.
***
"This is me like your driver! Why are you sitting in the back?" David didn't like it.
"He's not feeling well. I'm just looking after her." Answer Arnav.
"You're still in love, why act silly as if you're going apart? Should have just come out to the public and made it clear the rumor wasn't true." Bright David.
"Your brother does not deny. That means it's true." Namira's Comments.
"Nobody asked for my explanation." Answer Arnav flat.
"Like a child!" Grous David.
***
They stopped by a cafe.
"Sister, you can't come in. Me and Namira have an important mission." Threat David. Arnav breathed.
Vita was sitting there alone.
"What is this Vita?" Ask Namira wonder.
"Ehem. So Mr. Arnav went to Samo Island to mutate the Dilla bu. He's there to make sure that Dilla won't bother Namira's mom again." Answer Vita.
"But you said you didn't know that time?" Namira Protest.
"Pak Arnav asked me so. I don't know what's wrong with you guys." Answer Vita.
"OK fine! That accusation is not true. I'll try to explain to the big family. One more thing I'll look for a media that says it has a trusted source." Obviously David.
"But who knows if they didn't sleep together on Samo Island?" Namira.
"Namira, the key is in you. Don't let Dilla ruin your household. Get him out of his cage and admit it to the public." David's Advice.
"But I don't even know if it's true that I'm defending Arnav? If she's with Dilla, what should I do?" Ask hoarse. He was getting weaker and his eyes were hot.
"Ask Mr. Arnav." Vita.
Namira nodded. An error like this alone cannot be solved. Especially Arnav who also chose silence.
They're back in the car. Namira closed her eyes.
"Namira, do you want to buy medicine?" Ask David.
The girl did not answer. He fell asleep and Arnav swiftly carried Namira's head to his shoulders.
"Sister, I think it's best to settle this quickly. Sura City has been stirred, your family is humiliated. But you didn't give an explanation either." Bright David.
"Leave it. That way I'll lose everything and be able to see who I deserve." Arnav Light.
"What are you talking about, brother? Does it have to take down all your business so far?" David still doesn't understand Arnav's mindset.
Namira felt very sad and guilty.
***
They arrive at the station and Namira awakens when the car stops. He moved forward next to the wheel. Namira and Arnav stay in the car. They just keep quiet.
The rain was pouring so hard. Electricity is dead. Namira rushes to the room and pulls up the blanket. He was shivering and feverish.
"Namira, should we go to the doctor?" Arnav stared anxiously as he was about to change his clothes.
Namira shakes. He tried to get up and embrace Arnav.
"That's all a lie, right? Arnav's there's nothing with Dilla, right?" Namira asked with trembling hands and lips.
"You're feverish. Let's take some medicine first." Arnav sits Namira down and takes the medicine. Namira still holds Arnav's hand.
"Are you sick thinking about this?" Arnav.
Namira threw her body onto the bed. The effect of the medication made her feel better.
"Namira, are you afraid of losing me?" Arnav looked at him.
"I'm so scared." Namira cries and Arnav hugs her.
"I went to mutate Dilla." Arnav.
"Are you sure you're not stuck with him and sleeping with him?" Namira sobbing.
"I'm not stupid Namira." Arnav stroked his wife's hair.
"But he's not stupid either." Answer Namira.
"I'm glad you can express your feelings. I'm so happy. But next time express it without me having to go this far." Arnav Light. Smile them.
Namira still hugged Arnav. He didn't want Arnav's body to disappear. The man also no less want to always be with Namira until the heat struggle can not be avoided anymore.
