After undergoing a procession ijab qobul, Wiliam and Inez must return to Jakarta, because Harlan will return from outside the city today. Inez's mother will return to her hometown.
"Mom, pray for inez and Brother William undergo this marriage with Istiqomah."
"Of course, mother always wishes you the best and your husband William. May your life be happy, the success of the world and the hereafter."
"Thank you ma'am, inez will definitely miss mom and sisters. Ines promises to go home with Brother William and take leave after the business at the office is done. Inez will tell mom."
"Yes nduk!" the mother and son hugged each other. "Titip greetings to Ira and Indra yes ma'am, later Inez will send money for Ira to go to college."
"Ira must be happy this year to be able to enroll in college. Take care of yourself and obey your husband, follow what he wants, because heaven and your responsibility lies in the care of your husband."
"Yes Ma.. Inez must have remembered mother's advice."
Surti took off his arms and turned to William "Son William, Inez is your responsibility. I leave Inez to you, please take care and love Inez, just as you love and care for her from the baby."
"Of course, ma'am, I promise I will take full responsibility for my wife Inez. I will always protect and love her."
"Thank you very much, son William. Then I'll go home with your Uncle Toto."
"Be careful on the road, ma'am" said Inez, releasing the departure of his mother and uncle to return to the village.
Wiliam pulled Inez into his arms and kissed her fondly on his forehead. "I'm so happy baby, you're my destiny at last."
"I'm grateful, Sister Will has chosen me to be a wife."
Wiliam smiled, gently rubbed Inez's lips and brought her face closer.
"Ekhm... Mister."
Wiliam turned his head, his face looked annoyed, Alex always came to disturb when not right.
"CK! can't you see people are happy for a minute." grumbled Wiliam.
"I just want to let you know, do you want to stay in the hotel one night, make the first night? hehehehe... tease Alex while raising one eyebrow "Or still go home?"
"We're going home right now, my responsibilities in the company are huge." William turned to his wife "It's okay, isn't it baby? his first night in my apartment." whispered Wiliam and made Inez' face blush.
"All right, let's go!
____________
Only two hours drive William and Inez has reached Soekarno Hatta airport. They got on a plane to get there faster, while the others took cars.
"Sister, did I go home first? my clothes are still at home, and I haven't changed."
"Yes we go home together, only the night we go back to the apartment."
"why don't we stay at Lupita's house for a few days?"
"don't love, surely the people there will suspect and assume we commit adultery, let alone we have no proof of our marriage certificate."
"Yes you're right, brother! yes, we're home first, after a short break, just to the apartment."
Inez and Wiliam get into a taxi to Inez's house.
***
The clock showed at four in the afternoon. Lupita did her job. Actually he was still confused, suddenly Inez did not enter without giving news. In the room working alone without Inez feels lonely and tasteless.
"where have you been, Nez? it's been two days that you didn't show your nose in the office, what happened to you. Are you sick? then why is your phone off?" Lupita kept wondering. "Do I have to come home? I'd better be there to make sure Inez's doing it."
DREZZ.. DREZZ.. DREZZ...
Lupita's phone shook, Inez's mind was distracted as her phone vibrated.
"Ricky?! the name of the man who worked with him.
"Ky Hallo..."
"What time? I just happen to want to go home, too."
"Then just now in the usual place.Fifteen more minutes I arrive."
"OK.oke..."
After the phone connection was cut off, Lupita quickly cleaned up all the files she had arranged on the table and walked out of her room to the elevator door.
Only 10 minutes drive Lupita has arrived at the destination. Before long he saw the figure of a well-built man entering from the main door.
"Sorry, have you been waiting a long time?
"It's only been 10 minutes until."
Ricky called the waiter and ordered drinks and snacks.
"Just get to the point." Ricky opened the laptop he brought from the office and pointed to the design Lupita made. Then Lupita explained in detail and mature in terms of net income and dirty with a low budget. For three hours they discussed the project that was planned to be built soon. The clock did not show at 7:30 minutes.
"Okay, I have to go home." Lupita sucked out the orange juice in front of her
"I'll deliver!"
"No, I can take a taxi."
"But__
"I don't want to trouble people. Yes, I went home first. Bey.." he said in between his steps walking away.
Ricky just stared at Lupita's back until it disappeared from the view of "You're still like the old luv, never willing to bother people. Your heart is very kind and sincere, sorry I didn't shoot it."
An hour taxi ride stops right in front of the gates of elite housing. Lupita had intended to meet Inez at his home, because it was night and tired of his body because he often slept at night, he finally stopped to meet with Inez. ever since Harlan went out of Lupita, she could rarely sleep well, her mind was always unsettled by her husband's dramatic change in attitude.
"Night Nyah. Do you want dinner? let Auntie get ready."
"No need to bii, I had a meal with my friend at the cafe." Lupita walked up the stairs to her room.
Fatigue has made him a little stressed, fortunately he can channel a design to the right person and can entertain himself from saturation. Lupita undressed and walked into the bathroom. Turn on the warm water in the tub, then soak to relax his body and mind. Half an hour later, she was done cleaning and wearing a kimono.
The clock had shown at ten o'clock in the evening, the exhausted Inez lying on the bed and fast asleep. The clock ticks continuously turning on its axis. The door opened from outside. Someone went into the room and undressed, threw the floor clothes.
The gurgling sound of water builds Lupita sleep, she works and sits her body still feeling tired. His eyes highlighted the clothes lying on the floor and the suitcase that was in front of the bedroom door.
Chequek! the bathroom door is open.
"Yes you're home? asked Lupita when she saw the figure of her husband who had just come out of the bathroom.
"Hmm.." without looking at his wife who was missing him. Harlan opens the closet, then picks up her own t-shirt and shorts. "Mas let me get it." Lupita usually does all that, but she feels she doesn't need her husband anymore. Lupita walked over to her husband.
"Mas, why don't you tell me or call me when you come home today!"
Harlan took a rough breath and fazed from his wife's gaze, not knowing what was in his mind.he wanted to get out of the room, Lupita quickly withdrew her hand
"Mas! what's wrong with you! why is your attitude so cold to me? you didn't even say goodbye to me when you left town. What is my fault, Mas?!
Harlan pulled the rough out of Lupita's hand. "Have I been so tired of taking care of the project in Kalimantan, please don't bother me just yet. I cape wants a break!" harlan snapped, then walked towards the door, leaving Lupita alone in the room.
His eyeballs heated up, without being able to hold it anymore, his tears dripped down.
"What's wrong with you? he said, along with thousands of questions in his mind.
"My heart is tired, can I survive?"
