Whereas before, Mey was determined to keep her self-esteem and dignity high in front of Nanda. But seeing Nanda acting so spoiled with Nuga this morning, Mey had to humble herself and thicken her face.
And this is where Mey is right now, sitting next to Nuga to the campus where they both work at the same place. The difference is, Mey is not a lecturer, but a staff accountant.
His narrow eyes always glanced towards Nuga who was silent since they drove through the slightly congested streets.
Behind, Hima and Nanda were also speechless and tense-faced. They seem to be refraining from speaking as usual.
Mey who holds the box with the initiative invites Hima to chat. The woman turned her head and smiled towards Hima who was looking at her unintentionally.
"Why do you want sushi?" the offer is friendly and generous.
"Not bother, Auntie ... Hima's already paid for catering meals at school." Hima smiled sweetly and looked mature.
Nuga glanced at the expression of his son who seemed to be rejecting Mey with a very subtle sentence and sounded arrogant.
This must be Nanda's influence again, Nuga thought. Hima did not like Mey who impressed the caper on him and Hima clearly did not accept her father near other women. Hima once cried and rebelled if Mey was or asked her to speak. But now, that little boy is very smart to play a role.
Nuga's glance through the rearview mirror turned to a relaxed-looking Nanda with crossed legs and whistling lips as if he had heard nothing. But the corner of Nanda's lips was clearly seen smiling.
Mey clearly did not dwell on Hima's refusal. Mey's face was red without being disguised again for any reason.
"You want, Nda ...?" bargain Mey because she felt slammed by the father and the boy. It's just keeping the prestige, Mey thought.
"Thank you Auntie .. but I had breakfast." Nanda smiled widely, until his eyes narrowed. "Auntie saw it for yourself, didn't you?"
Nuga sighed. To be honest he was upset this morning because of Nanda, plus Mey who was a little annoying, so the chatter was just for him to tickle the ears. And seeing Mey's expression that was ready to spray Nanda with scolding, Nuga took the initiative so that the atmosphere of the morning was not damaged.
"May ... I need a minute at Hima's school. You go to college by taxi, yes ... I'm afraid it's too late if you have to wait for me."
Mey looked over with a happy face. Nuga was so attentive that he was afraid that he was late to campus. "I'm okay if I have to wait, Mas .. anyway it's still very early. Usually also—"
"I had to go to the cafe before, too" Nuga said. After all, he should know who the subscription taxi was calling Nanda with that dear call earlier.
"I—"
"Let me pay the fare!" Nuga interrupted impatiently, his eyes glancing at Nanda who was smothering haughtily looking at Mey. "She, book a taxi for Madam Mey!"
Nanda. "Kok so me anyway? Whose business, whose business? No Om-om, no Auntie-tante all make riweh!"
Mey couldn't bear to not turn her head and gave Nanda a mocking look. Then so gently, Mey said, "Let Mey order herself, Mas. I was the one who wanted to ride into your car, without knowing whether Mas has any business or not."
Mey blinked her eyes as she turned around, then smiled sweetly towards Nuga who seemed to be holding her breath. The woman grabbed her phone and ordered a taxi.
Nanda sneers at Mey's action. "It's good to be self-conscious! Cars dozens, time to campus nebeng! Looks like the caper!"
Mey stiffened and held her phone tightly. Inner mumbling. "Well, Nda ... You are the one who keeps testing my patience! Let's see who's gonna have the last laugh!"
