Anjas stood at the end of the stairs as Tari stepped inside the house. The woman walked casually as if nothing was wrong, after two days and two nights there was no news at all.
Anjas looked at Tari with reddened eyes and tightly clenched hands, holding back the anger that had almost burst into the head. The anger that has been accumulated is now getting bigger, so Anjas can not stem it anymore.
Dari smilingly looked at her husband, her steps so light as if she did not know that the look on Anjas' face was currently so dangerous and ready to pounce.
"Mas, aren't you at the office?" tanya Tari, when looking at the clock hanging on the wall, showed at nine in the morning.
Dari wanted to scatter to hug Anjas, but Anjas directly restrained Tari's body while carrying his legs back, away from the body of the woman who was his own wife.
"Where are you from?!" asked Anjas, in a flat and cold tone of voice.
Dari was silent, her hands were raised to embrace Anjas, now only hanging in the air. She then exhaled a coarse breath, while smiling incisively at her husband's current demeanor.
"Aren't you even going to touch me now, Mom? Are you disgusted with me?" tanya Tari, without answering Anjas' previous question.
"Not much drama. Answer my question first! Where have we been these two days? I can't call, I'm looking everywhere isn't there?!" Anjas asked again with a sharp look, really he was so angry at the attitude of Dance at this time.
"I just went to Mama's house" replied Tari casually then continued her steps without caring about her husband. It seems that he knew that Anjas would only make it as an outlet for his anger.
However, Anjas immediately blocked his hand, so Tari was forced to stop and turn back to look at Anjas. It was not easy to get out of her husband's grip.
"I'm not done talking, Dance!" Anjas said in a voice that turned into one that was growling furiously. The grip on the hand of Dance was getting tighter and painful.
"You know, Syafira was sick yesterday? He keeps calling you, he needs you, Dance!" anjas continued, recalling how he had trouble keeping the boy without Tari. Because all this time Syafira was close to Dance.
Dari glanced at Anjas' face until the eyes of the two seemed to be linked for a few seconds, although finally Tari let go first.
He was surprised by Anjas' words, the pain felt in his heart when he heard Syafira was sick when he was not with her. Dance doesn't mean to ignore the kid, really.
However, it seems that it does not matter either, Anjas can actually feel how all this time he took care of Syafira alone, because Anjas never cared.
"You don't need me, Mommy? Only Syafira needs me?" tanya Dari with a face that changed. He misses when the warmth of his family is intact, he misses when Anjas is spoiled and complains to him.
But now everything is no longer felt. The house is getting cold and quiet. Anjas has always said that the man loves him, but the truth is that it is much different from the attitude and the way Anjas treats him.
"God!" Dari exhaled harshly while throwing her face away, feeling annoyed at her husband.
"Why? Am I not allowed to do what I like?" tanya Tari, with a voice that now sounded colder than before. Then he looked back at Anjas with a stern face.
"Again, what's wrong with you taking care of Syafira once in a while? Isn't he your son too? Even the one who suggested we take Syafira is also both your parents, right?" keep up Dance again.
At first he thought that when Syafira came the atmosphere of his house would be warmer, and Anjas was more often at home with him. However, all of that turned out to be just wishful thinking. Anjas is home more often, but he spends more time in the workspace than with her. It all makes the presence and absence of Anjas, feel the same for him.
"But you are her mother, Tari! You should always be with him!" press Anjas. She smiled obliquely, while looking at Dance with a look of disdain.
"Ck!" Anjas clucked before continuing his words.
"Do what you like? Do what, why should there be no news for two days, heh?" Anjas stared at the sharp dance. His mind has been wandering since yesterday, because Dance disappeared. He could no longer think well of his current wife.
"I just want to forget about the problems in this house for a moment, Mas. I'm tired, with your attitude that never understood my feelings! You are just busy with your own work and feelings, without even wanting to see the hurt of my heart, Mom!" Dance finally began to reveal her heart. He shouted right in front of the husband's face, without recalling the meaning of the word manners. Dari feels betrayed by her husband, she feels hurt by her husband's change of attitude, and she is saturated with it all.
"Here-" Dance pointed at her chest that was beginning to feel claustrophobic, she tapped it a few times, using the index end.
"Here, it hurts so much, Mas," said Tari with tears flowing along with her words.
.
Lina smiled as she looked at Arya's sudden arrival. I don't know why it feels different, but Arya often visits like this.
Yes, since last night he was feeling restless and kept thinking about the man who has now become his lover. He wanted to talk about Anjas' request to her some time ago.
"Waalaikumsalam," replied Rina with a glittering smile.
Ah, it seems that Rina also began to be unable to hold back her feelings, even though she kept her boundaries and was aware of her current state of being, although sometimes she often forgets that Arya has not even introduced her to her parents.
Sometimes when Lina thought that, she felt fear of the obvious obstacles unfolding before her eyes. The difference in status and caste between the two is clearly visible, making him feel small and pessimistic about his relationship and Arya.
However, at a certain moment he also forgot all about it and chose to enjoy all the process, while preparing himself and his heart with a failure that was ready to tear down all his hopes, again.
"Tumben here did not say first," said Rina, but usually so. It's just that right now Rina wants to tease Arya.
"Hem?" Arya looked at Rina with a confused face, she raised the height of one of her eyebrows.
Arya seemed silent for a moment, as if she was digesting the situation that was happening now. Then he chuckled softly before answering a joke from Rina.
"Either. It seems like my feet stepped here on their own without me noticing. Hem, he knows that I'm missing my beautiful lover" Arya replied, nodding her head faintly. He even had time to squint one of his eyes at Rina, making the woman blush.
"Basic gumbal! It seems like you're getting better at seducing." Rina smiled faintly looking at Arya who was now even chuckling amusedly.
"Who started it, hem?" ask Arya back.
"You have also begun to dare to tease me," continued Arya again.
Rina closes the last file she corrects and then puts it with another file, then switches to the phone on her desk.
"Heni, please bring food for me and Arya to my room," said Rina gave the order, she seemed to know that the man in front of her had not eaten.
"Ah, it seems you already know that I'm here to eat." Anjas plays like someone who's being caught.
"really? Though I was just hungry, but it wasn't good that you were here" replied Rina, as if it was already very easy for her to compensate for the joking from Arya.
The two chuckled together, feeling funny about their own behavior. Rina then moved towards the sofa, accompanied by Arya behind her.
Rina leaned back that was already feeling tired on the back of the sofa, while exhaling a rough breath. Really working is not an easy thing, what else he does not only hold one field.
The two seemed to be chatting leisurely while waiting for their lunch to come, without any disturbance from the sleeping star in the dugout.
"Next week, do you have time?" arya asked suddenly as the two were enjoying lunch together.
Rina turned her attention to Arya, while keeping her schedule in mind.
"Hem, it seems a little off-putting. What's up?" asked Rina while returning to feed the food and then chewing it.
"I want to invite you to meet my parents" Arya replied without hesitation.
"Ohuk!" Hearing that, unconsciously Lina choked so much she was surprised.
Arya who saw Rina coughing aloud immediately took a glass of water and then gave it to Rina. His hand slapped the lover's back.
"Be careful when you're eating, don't rush" he said casually, as if unaware if it's because of his sudden words.
Rina just stared annoyedly at Arya, while trying to dampen her cough.
"Are you serious?" ask Rina to make sure.
His heart was now worried because of Arya's words. On the one hand he felt that this was too soon and hesitated about his meeting with both of Aryan's parents, given the first impression he had met the other day, not looking good at all. Rina scared.
But on the other side of his heart. Rina was also happy, because Arya was different from Anjas, at least the man had intended to introduce himself to his parents. Even though he is not a perfect person, he even has a Star as his baby.
