Living the days without activities must be very dull, especially for adult women like Siska. It's just her private room where she complains every day. For some reason, recently, Siska feels unable to contain her feelings for Andi anymore.
The more often she meets the guy, the greater the sense of love ingrained in her. Previously Siska had told Andi not to come to visit her too often. Andi initially refuses but follows what Siska wants because the girl is pushy.
"I'm scared, Ndi. I'm afraid I can no longer take care of this while you manage to keep it until later," she told Andi.
From the very beginning, they tried to open up to each other. Siska is no exception. Finally, she revealed why she didn't want to see the guy too often. Four days later, without Andi coming, Siska felt quite lost. This is all she wants.
For this reason, she felt that this time was an excellent time to reveal everything. She has been sincere about whatever Andi's response will be. Notably, she has already overflowed everything she feels without storing any more burdens.
'If you want to go home today, I'll be waiting for you.'
Siska replied to Andi's message confidently. She threw her phone at the side of the mattress and sighed, preparing to meet the guy she liked. Unfortunately, although she was ready, he still couldn't get rid of the pounding of her heart at this time.
The sound of the motor engine she now recognizes was parked in the garage of her house. Siska prepared and went downstairs slowly to meet Andi, who had just arrived.
"I have something to talk about," said Siska.
Again Andi's attitude made Siska's heartbeat. He almost choked while drinking because of wrong behaviour.
"Perhaps, this is a shameful disgrace for some women. But, even though it's a reality, I will do it anyway because I can't hold back anymore. Andi, I love you. I like the way you treat me, and this feeling has been around since we chatted a lot when you were in America. But now that feeling gets bigger every time I remember and see you. I didn't expect to get the same response from you. I want to express this so that there is no more burden on my heart. I know this is so cringe but if you want to stay away from me or whatever, I accept."
The atmosphere fell silent instantly. Andi still didn't respond to Siska's words. All he did was stare at the girl, who made Siska even more misbehaving and lowered her gaze.
"Are you done?" asked Andi.
"Yeah."
"What do you think is the reason I did all this for you?" asked Andi continued.
"Maybe, pity? And I'm your best friend's sister-in-law."
"Just because of it?"
"Maybe, yes," answered Siska.
"What was I willing to wait for you in the hospital at that time, and come back here just to know how you're doing if it's just out of pity?"
Siska didn't know what to answer, and she was silent without seeing Andi's eyes.
"To the point, I also love you. But I can't express this in words. I suck at it. On the one hand, I am also afraid. I'm afraid of letting down and adding a bad memory in your life. "
"I did have a bad experience in the past. But, I don't have any big expectations on you either."
"So, do you want to continue our relationship one level above friendship?"
A smile expanded on the lips of the two. Siska didn't expect Andi had the same feelings as her. However, it is also true what Andi said. There can't be a man willing to do all this if it's just a pity.
On the other hand, Siska was satisfied with taking out all her burdens. Who hadn't expected anything? Now she was even better than her expectations.
Their love is indeed ordinary love, like people in general. But still, everyone's path of love is different—likewise, the ending.
"Hello, Maria? I miss you."
Without telling Maria, it felt like Siska's life would be incomplete. Therefore she decided to call her.
"Okay, how are you? The same, I miss it too. Wait for me to go home next month, huh?!" she retorted to Siska.
"Mar, I've finally got everything with Andi, and vice versa."
"Huh? Serious? So, so what?" asked Maria in shock.
"Yes, he also has the same feelings. Just, haven't dared to shoot for fear of letting me down, he said."
"Hmmm, classic. Hahahaha. So, what's the ending?"
"Yes we are going out."
"Seriously???"
"Yes. I'm not kidding."
"Aaaaahh, congratulations! But still, you have to be careful, take care of yourself."
Hearing her best friend's story, Maria felt scared and uneasy. The same fear as Andi himself. But why did she say that kind of thing? Why did she already feel afraid of something she hadn't even done. Not without reason, he was worried that one day Andi would become someone who broke Siska's heart.
On the second semi-day day, the lovebirds lived a life full of love. The awkwardness no longer exists because of their attitudes. On the contrary, they have been open to each other since the beginning of their acquaintance.
"I ask, you take care of Siska. If you hurt him, you're confronting me."
Maria alerted Andi over the phone. Andi, who took it seriously, promised Maria not to hurt her best friend.
"yes, Mar. At least I know about Siska's person. I'm not going to let her down."
Mrs Arni, the mother, accidentally heard the conversation between Siska and Andi. In her heart, she harboured joy over her daughter and Andi's relationship. Because so far, he has liked Andi's figure without telling Siska. She was sure if Andi was the man in charge.
Elsewhere, Fera, who is busy taking Dinda, her daughter, to the doctor, doesn't remember that today is her and Daffa's wedding anniversary. That's common because children are all over any interest.
"Your daughter wants to grow teeth, mam. In addition, she suffered, so her body temperature was hot."
"Oh my God, thank you."
"Don't worry, this is common, mam. Ah yes, here I wrote you the medicine, huh? Please redeem at the dispensary."
"Okay, Doctor."
The woman walked out of the doctor's room and immediately went home for a moment to make up for the medicine in the dispensary. On the way, Daffa was silent.
"Already, you don't have to work anymore," he muttered as he drove the car.
"So, why?" asked Fera, who was already feeling wrong about this discussion.
"You don't focus on taking care of the children. For example, yesterday, it was only the first day of work, you didn't cook. Buying food so it's not even delicious. The kids are also fussy, right, can't be left behind."
"The name is also the first time, everything definitely needs adjustment."
"yes, but I don't want to. I want you to focus on being a housewife. Take care of the children, take care of the house, and take care of your husband. That's it. I'm not going to do anything else."
"I don't want to make a fuss. Yesterday, I told you why I want to work. But you ask again."
"So successful learners don't always have to be on the field. You can monitor at home too, really. As long as the intention is to work, not anything else."
"What does that mean?" asked Fera.
The conversation is getting more and more heated. A few feet, Fera tried to restrain herself from being provoked by emotions.
"The point is, you're working on what should be your job. And I provide for you born and inward. That's enough."
Fera decided not to explain anymore because she was tired of those questions. Moreover, both are on the road and afraid of unwanted things happening.
Daffa sighed heavily. He put his hands around his waist and then turned his eyes to Fera.
"So what do you want?" asked Daffa when he got home.
"I'll do both anyway."
People say the first years of the marriage, there will be many problems that come crashing. Unfortunately, it seems accurate, and this year is their third year.
No wonder this matter becomes the Daffa family's monthly every time it discusses it.
"I know it's all your ideals. But, what about our children? As advanced as everyone else is, Dinda and Devin will want to be with their own mother."
Fera was silent and pondered. It's not that she's selfish. However, she doesn't want to spend time just looking for the material.
"Enough, Sweetheart. I beg you not to discuss this again. After all, this is only the first day. There is still time to adjust everything. I ask you to be patient. I've already said, I'll prove it."
Daffa didn't respond and passed away, leaving Fera and slamming into his room.
Crack
"Oh my God, why the hell is this man. Please realize him. I have good intentions," said Fera, a monologue.
Ring
Fer's cell phone rang, she saw it, and a call came in from Fahmi.
"Night, Mam. Sorry to bother you. I want to ask, what is the financial report of the café yesterday?"
For Heaven's Sake.
That night Fera and Daffa were complacent about their respective cradles until they forgot the report Fera had to work on. Fera plans to continue it tomorrow. However, Dinda was sick, and she automatically didn't have time. She even forgot to do the report.
"Duh, I forgot. Sorry, I'll send you an email later tonight too."
Although he is the CEO of the café, however, she doesn't want to be idle.
"Okay, mam. Ah, I want to say, if sales this week have decreased, mam."
