With You I Find Love

Episode thirty eight

Attitude and change both continue to run like time does not stop spinning. Atayad no longer silenced Ara as before. Laughter sometimes he slipped when there was time with Ara. Behind his attitude like that it turns out there are still things that demand an answer from Ara. Atayad was still waiting for the right time for Ara to really open up to him.

As this morning Atayad just came down from his room immediately squinted at Ara who was talking to someone behind the phone connection so fun. Could it be that the person who was talking to Ara was the same person that sent the message of love that night.

Atayad cleared his throat as he approached Ara. Ara greeted him with a smile, yes because from that night on Atayad and Ara compromised to behave like normal humans.

"Tea or coffee" Ara immediately offered when Atayad was standing not far from his current place. Ara ended her phone call with someone.

"It feels like this morning more coffee" Atayad replied while pulling one of the chairs at the table. The number of jobs that require him to work harder and drain time, it feels like today Atayad is reluctant to go to work. The morning weather that looks cloudy accompanied by the rustling of rain water that is not too heavy makes Atayad want to return to his bed.

"Are you sick? you don't look as excited as an undead?" said Ara who was peppered with laughter at the end of her sentence while giving a cup of warm coffee that she had just made.

Atayad did not immediately answer or sip the coffee in front of him. Breathing slowly but surely Atayad even noticed Ara who began to be busy with activities every morning.

After spending ten minutes in silence, Atayad finally ventured to ask what felt was very important to him. "Are you happy with this marriage?" atayad said with a hand knocked on the dinner table.

Ara shifted her focus for a moment from her activities and looked at Atayad. "My parents taught me to always be grateful. So if you ask me to be happy or not? I'll answer that I'm happy. Other people don't need to know more than that because it's my privacy" Ara replied.

"He always answered like that. It's hard for me to understand him actually. I think it's just a camouflage answer" Atayad said in his heart.

I don't know why he always wanted to ask Ara that question. But the answer he received was always the same answer. What he wanted was another answer. Maybe you know what Atayad meant try telling me in the comment column later.

"Why do you always ask like that?" ara said without shifting her focus. His hands that look more agile playing with knives or other kitchen utensils and cooking spices continue to move. Now cooking he made it one of his hobbies since the day he was forced to cook himself.

Ara shook her head when she saw Atayad who was even engrossed in looking at the cup of coffee in front of her and not answering her question. "You asked me because you wanted an answer. It was my turn to ask you didn't even pay attention to it at all" said Ara.

Atayad sipped coffee that had been seen since then put back in place. He stood up and approached Ara closer. "Is the cooking ready? I have to get to the office before seven. Could go a little faster!" he said while scooping the fried rice that was being made by Ara then passed after.

Ara squinted one eye and pulled out one corner of her lips but instead formed a cynical smile. "Based on a strange man, it was his turn to ask that I should answer him. It was my turn to ask that she just passed by" Ara grumbled.

Atayad marches Ara to her ollineshop before she heads to work.

Atayad noticed Ara who started walking away from her car. For a while he stayed there to find the answer he had been looking for for the past few days.

Paddle tubs are not welcome, which Atayad waiting did not come even he to waste his time working. Atayad is one of the most disciplined people known as time. For him that time is very important, including for the author anyway 😁.

Atayad drove his car to work. Everyone who saw Atayad arrive late was astonished. Atayad was most unhappy with anyone who was undisciplined.

Without caring about the gaze of the people who looked at him, Atayad continued to walk towards the special elevator to his room.

Amid his busy work, a question that never finds an answer continues to disturb his focus.

Atayad grabbed his phone tucked in his pants pocket. The thing he was looking for was now within his grasp. Atayad was looking for a contact that had been bothering him since. Between doubt and shame Atayad did not want to dial the number.

"Oh my God Atayad you're wasting your time" he said as he turned back the phone he was holding.

"What the hell kind of answer I want" he said with a palm covering his face. "Please God"

The door of the room that arrived opened without hearing a knock first made Atayad feel shocked. "Papa" said Atayad in a limp tone as he turned out that his papa had appeared from behind the door.

Ahmad smiled faintly when he saw his son. "This is papa, who are you waiting for" said Ahmad, laughing and approaching Atayad who is still as it was. "How is your household doing?" asked Ahmad who managed to level his butt perfectly on the sofa.

"Papa's here to ask me about my company or my household?" atayad said, leaning his head against the back of his chair.

"Huh, can't papa ask for that? Atayad Atayad" said Ahmad while confirming his sitting position to look more relaxed.

Atayad clucked at his father's words. He then approached the father and sat next to him but not too far away. Atayad told what disturbed his mind to Ahmad. The presence of the father there did not help Atayad at all. Instead of helping to solve the problem that his son Ahmad was facing, he teased Atayad and said that Atayad had actually fallen in love with his wife, but Atayad still avoided him.

"I think if papa can not provide a better solution papa back at the work papa course" said Atayad jokingly.

"Hey this is the real answer you're looking for. Papa is sure that what papa said is true you. Admit it!"

. How do you think? If what Ahmad said is true then why is Atayad still avoiding him? Could it be that he wanted to find the answer directly from Ara aka a confession?
