He got off the king-size bed to find his mother, pillow face, and cute cheek fat. His clean white face and pillow face, give an adorable impression, to the point of wanting to pinch his cheeks when he sees Arsa walking with his lips pursed, rubbing his eyes, and looking for a delicious scent towards the kitchen where his mother is.
"Mam... I'm hungry." Arsa's voice reached Sarah's ears, who had finished draining everything onto a plate.
She turned her head while moving her hand giving orders for her son to come closer, Arsa complied. It's almost 7 in the morning, the house is also getting crowded with the maids. Earlier, Hasna had asked to let her make breakfast, but Sarah refused because as long as she could do her own thing to make breakfast for her and Arsa, she would do it herself.
"My nuggets, mom?"
"There it is, honey," she pointed to another plate on the side of the bread. "You should sit down first. Have you washed your face yet?"
He shook his head silently pulled a chair and climbed up by himself, he became a fairly independent child even if in front of his father he would be spoiled and seemed unable to do anything. Arsa always asks his father for help, asks Bastian for attention when he is at home.
And Bastian will usually do whatever his son asks because he rarely gets time to play with his son when he is busy.
Arsa eats calmly and voraciously, she has educated her child to be calm when he eats he needs to focus and not talk. Sarah is grateful because before becoming a famous person, she had taught in early childhood as well as kindergarten. At that time he just wanted to try teaching before returning to study in Australia.
From teaching that he got a lesson on how to take care of his child, currently, Arsa is in a golden age which is easy for him to catch whatever he sees and then imitate it.
Sarah was worried when Bastian shouted at her last night knowing that if Arsa had heard her, she didn't want to let Arsa unknowingly follow her even though just hearing it could happen. It was said that Sarah was a paranoid woman, she now felt a little anxious.
"Papa is not home yet?" Asked the voice of the son who had finished his breakfast.
Sarah smiled. "Smart child, later try to wash the dishes yourself, okay. Papa told mama that he couldn't come home this morning because there was a meeting at the company." Sarah lied to her son.
How stupid is she not, she doesn't want to make bad teaching on his son. But now she is lying to her son for the sake of Bastian's good name in Arsa's eyes, he heard the two of them fighting, Arsa must have thought that his father was indeed a bad man who liked to scold his mother.
Arsa pursed his lips disapprovingly of the news his mother told him, he got off the chair with a bent face carrying his plate to the sink. He put the dishes down and realized he was too small and short, couldn't wash the dishes now. Before long he returned to the table, pulled up a chair, and placed it in front of the sink.
Sarah watched cutely, she held back her chuckle.
....
For Bastian's departure last night, he received a message from Liora' manager that if something bad happened that made him have to be hospitalized and delay filming for a week for the recovery period, he was surprised and of course immediately took his car keys without caring about his wife.
He was very worried about Liora, he had greater compassion for this hidden lover than his love for his wife.
Bastian had a feeling of something painful swishing in his chest when he learned that Liora had fallen down the stairs while filming, misunderstandings and miscommunication made one of the actors push Liora' body before changing to a substitute. And here he was now, in a white room that had an aura of silence and silence. Quiet and peaceful but feels less comfortable, because this is not a house to live in. Liora was on the bed staring at Bastian's eyes, which continued to stare at him intensely, Liora was embarrassed. His hands immediately covered his sharp and clear eyes.
He is like an observant predator and continues to pay attention until the prey is caught off guard then he will lunge directly without mercy.
There was a glimmer of a smile as Liora covered both of his eyes before his laughter erupted violently. He always likes it when Liora is shy like he is now.
"Have you calmed down? Or is there still pain?"Asked the baritone voice softly.
Together with Liora, he can reduce his brutal and arrogant attitude, he likes Liora who is responsive and not slow. Surprisingly, Liora can always understand the wrong things from his actions, because he always manages to calm him with his spoiled attitude and attention. Surprisingly, if it were Sarah, she would always misbehave with disapproval.
He wanted to be angry all the time, maybe because Sarah's respectful attitude could satisfy his domineering and stubborn feeling, very arrogant.
This is when Bastian leaves his house in the middle of the night after
promising his son that he will stay at home to accompany him. But he lied just because one message said Liora was being treated for an accident during filming, he immediately left and thought if Arsa could understand the busyness. Liora has no one but himself, while Arsa has her mother and her maids.
Stupid thoughts like this that popped into his head, made him immediately take the choice to go to the hospital even though he had to yell at his wife who just asked.
"It's okay, okay? But you come at night like this, are you okay?" Liora asked in an uncomfortable voice.
Bastian is a typical asshole husband who deserves to be killed, he doesn't respect his wife's position, he doesn't make himself there when his wife needs him. Because Bastian has been too indifferent to his needs all this time, he thinks that by giving a month's money above one billion in his atm card, he can give it all.
If Sarah asked him, sometimes Bastian would refuse and ask Mamat to buy or order. But if it was Liora who asked, then he would happily deliver even when he said he wanted to go overseas. He immediately complied and told his wife he had a job that required him to go abroad.
It was only to comply with Liora' wishes, indeed new chewing gum always tasted sweet in the mouth. Like the relationship between Bastian and Liora, which has only been established for half a year, it has yet to find an end where it will lead as long as they hide this relationship from his wife who doesn't care.
