Before Divorce
Chapter 3 - PoV Shiena

I stretched my body and stared at the wall clock in my room. It's too early to wake up. But since my heart is happy, I will wake up this morning and help Mother in the kitchen.

I cleaned up and prepared to go down to the kitchen. I was wearing a home dress that I can now put back on.

The amazing! I'm amazed. My body shape is back to what it used to be. Actually after marriage my body shape also did not change much. But her name is a wife, somehow I gained weight after marriage.

Ah never mind, now I'll help Mother only.

"Yeshaa!"

"Lho tumben is awake. Usually it has to be built first."

I grimaced to hear Mother's words.

"I want to help you cook. Can you?"

Mother smiled at me. "By dong! Let's cut the vegetables!"

An hour in the kitchen finally me and Mommy managed to make some breakfast menu. Actually there is Bik Imah who takes care of the house. But Mommy says if the cooking business, Mommy herself must intervene. Maybe because Mother wants to make sure if the food we eat has balanced nutrition.

At seven in the morning I saw Bang Shandy come down from the second floor. My room and Bang Shandy are next door.

"Well, there's a Bang show, really neat?"

I saw Bang Shandy wearing a suit complete with a tie wrapped around his neck.

"Today I'm asking you to come to the office" replied Bang Shandy.

The new father also arrived.

"Rubber. Your brother must learn to take care of the company. The lecture is almost finished."

"Still the rest of the thesis, Dad."

I saw the interaction between Dad and Bang Shandy. I remember Dad's grief when Bang Shandy was gone. Dad's dream of making Bang Shandy the successor to the company is gone already.

I shook my head strongly. This time I have to make sure that Bang Shandy becomes the next father's successor.

The four of us started breakfast. As usual, she served my father well. I could see such a great love between them. Despite being married for decades, they still show their love for each other

"So night you saw me talking to Alex. Are you guys close?"

Bang Shandy asked me.

"Hmm, no deket anyway. Just know."

"Be careful, She. Alex is playboy. You could be playing with her."

"What the hell? I'm the same brother Alex just won't!" I'm starting to dislike this conversation.

"That's just you, She. Don't buy it dong!"

I'm silent. It felt like there was no need to argue with Bang Shandy over trivial matters.

"If you want, you can know you the same..."

"Stop! Stopit! Stopit! Stop that!" I immediately intercepted Bang Shandy's sentence.

Just the suddenness of my overrated reaction made everyone look at me.

"I mean I... L'm... I'm still young, Bang! I still want to enjoy my youth. So, you don't have to know me as anyone. Yea?"

I grimaced looking at Bang Shandy. Then bang Shandy nodded. I breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm done with breakfast! I'm waiting for you in front!" I immediately left the dining room after previously kissing the hands of Father and Mother.

I was standing on the front porch of the house.

"I'm sure that Bang Shandy would have mentioned Mas Willy earlier. Fortunately I stopped him. Huft!" I rubbed my chest.

"She!" Bang Shandy called me.

"Again the breakfast?"

"Hmm, this thing is almost too late. Let's walk!"

Bang Shandy walked past me and was about to get in the car.

"Wait, Bang!"

"What's up?"

I stared at the appearance of Bang Shandy who was still not neat.

"What the hell is this? Take the real dong! Here I'm tatain."

I reimagined Bang Shandy's appearance. One thing I never did and could only make fun of him first. Now I am happy to do it even though I have to do it every day.

"What's wrong with you, She?"

"Ah, no papa Bang. Let's go!"

I turned my face away. My tears almost fell.

During the trip to campus, I had a casual chat with Bang Shandy. Sometimes we also throw jokes that make us laugh together.

I miss all this. I miss these times. I hope I can change everything for the better.

I waved my hand as Bang Shandy's car started to move away from the view. I walk to my class.

On the way I met two of my best friends.

"Hi, She. Shipped Bang Shandy?" Ask Anila.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Udah go. He's going to the office."

I saw a look of sadness on Anila's face.

"Now your brother rarely snaps. So no one gets excited!"

Eh? What did Anila say just now. What's he...

It felt like asking further, but because of the cheering noise behind us made Anila and Friska turn their heads.

"Hmm, the college idol has come!" Friska.

I'm looking along. It was Alex's brother. She had just arrived at the campus and the female student had already cheered her up. I turned the ball lazily. It seems impossible for me to expect more.

"Yok ah to class!" Take me.

"Shyen!"

Someone's voice calls me. I looked at Anila and Friska who were gawking in disbelief.

"She, called tuh!" Friska Whisper.

"Who?"

I turned my head again and saw Brother Alex walking towards me.

"Don't you call me?" A very stupid question.

Alex laughed a little. Geez, her smile made me melt away instantly.

"Yes that. Is there anything else called Shiena here?"

Friska and Anila shook their heads.

"What's up, brother?" I asked who was getting uncomfortable with the sharp gaze of the hardline fan girls Alex.

"Sir papa. You want to go to class? I'll take ya!"

"Eh? Ah, no need. I'm with you the same..."

"Please brother! Then we go first, She!" Friska pulls Anila's hand.

I feel like a dead flea. I'm looking down embarrassed.

"Come, Shiena!" Take Alex's sister.

"Yes, Brother."

I walked with Alex. He asked me some common things. My heart warms with his attitude.

College hours are over. I waited for Bang Shandy in front of the campus gate. One thing you need to know. The men in my family were very protective of me.

Everywhere I was not allowed to go alone and had to be escorted from Bang Shandy or Dad. Although at first I felt uncomfortable, but over time I was more comfortable with the two men.

My phone's vibrating. A message from Bang Shandy.

"She, I'm so sorry, you can't pick me up. Brother's work is still a lot. But I told people to pick you up. Just calm! He's a confidant of brothers."

I sighed rudely. I'm sure it must be brother's secretary. I'm looking for a place to sit.

Suddenly a big sports bike came up to me. I looked at the appearance of the rider wearing a helmet and invisible face.

"You're Shiena?"

I cringe. "Yes. Lo who?" I ketus.

"I asked Shandy to pick you up."

I don't just believe it.

"Where is the evidence that you were told by Bang Shandy?"

The person pulled out his phone and showed Bang Shandy a message to him.

"Have believed? Now quickly go up! I'm busy too!"

I thought for a moment. I can't be rash. I called Bang Shandy first.

"This is my brother's man? The bike is XXX and the license plate is B 1710 XY."

"Yes, She. That's brother's man. You can trust him."

I ended the call with Bang Shandy.

"Do you need to mention the brand of the motorcycle and the license plate number of my motorcycle all?" That guy looks pissed.

"Yes have to dong! I have to be a mastiin if you're not a bad guy!"

"You can't believe me, you can take a taxi home!"

The man was preparing to leave. Duh, how's this? Who the hell is he? Why does it look so mysterious.

The man started his bike back. I was still confused whether I should go with him or not. Plus the atmosphere of the campus is deserted because it is late at night.

"I'll tell Shandy that you don't believe me. Excuse me!"

"Eh, wait!" I'm in front of the bike.

"Open your helmet! I need to see your face first!"

I could see from behind the helmet, he was watching me. Who the hell is he?
