By late afternoon, the children were playing bicycles in the courtyard of the house. Bu Sri guarded them, while Paijo watched from the security guard post. Do not forget Bu Sri all of you feed food to the two boys.
Since there was Bu Sri, the children were much more henchmen. She considers the two daughters of Nisa like her own grandchildren. Sofia also becomes calmer when it comes to leaving for campus. Nisa was not worried about leaving her two daughters to Bu Sri. Like today, the two had to go to the airport to pick up Alan. He will help Roy work in Yogya.
The two little girls did not look tired at all. They were still circling with their bikes laughing.
"Let's go kids, take a shower first, it's late afternoon".
"When Mama Nisa comes home and you haven't had a bath, you can't get anything".
Sheila and Sheina steered her bike closer to Ms. Sri. The two went down and immediately approached Bu Sri's seat.
"Indeed, Mama Nisa already wants to go home, Miss Sri?".
"Yes,, I'm quick.we take a shower first".
"Mom, you, I'm sorry.Grandma must not have any friends?".
"He always peeked at us while playing Lo Bu".
"Grandma Sheila, around here there's no granny".
"There is Madam Sri, we often see!!".
"Yes, tomorrow Ms. Sri is loved see yes, we call the grandmother here".
"Who knows there is food inside that can be shared".
"Yes Bu Sri".
Ms. Sri brought the twins in and bathed them both. Afterwards, Bu Sri told the two of them to watch tv for a while. Shortly after, Roy's car was heard entering the yard. The two children immediately ran to welcome the arrival of their parents.
"Mama......we've taken Lo's bath, so....where's the souvenir??".
"By-by,,, oh, I think you forgot to take it".
"Yes,,, said Ms. Sri, if we take a bath later to get souvenirs from mama".
Nisa smiled when she saw Roy carrying two large teddy bears for her daughter. The two laughed cheerfully and immediately kissed Roy and Nisa alternately, then ran into the house. Surely they are looking for Bu Sri to show off her new toy.
From inside the car, Alan watched everything with a feeling of sadness. How not, it was his two daughters. He feels alien to himself. Nisa doesn't even recognize him anymore. All of his belongings are Roy's now.
"Alan,, don't you want to come down??".
"Eh.iya mr. Roy".
"Your room's in the back, let Mr. Jo drive you".
"Rest first, I'll call you back".
"Good Mr. Roy".
Nisa went inside first. He seems to know Alan, but his memory is only a passing glance. Just like a stranger to his face. The rest he doesn't remember.
Alan was taken to his room. Small room, self-equipped toilet. Neat and luxurious for a guy like Alan. There is no doubt about Roy's wealth so far. That was what he used to approach Nisa. In fact, now Roy has managed to make Nisa and the twins his own.
Alan looked at the old photo in Dito's wallet. It's just a memory and a reminder of Nisa and her daughter.
"If you remember Nisa, I'm still waiting for you".
"I miss you and the twins".
"They're growing fast, and they look pretty like you".
"Time passes so quickly, it's like to hold my two daughters tightly".
Alan's daydream was surprised by the presence of Ms. Sri. In a hurry he entered his family photo and immediately approached the woman.
"Yes ma'am, can I help you?".
"Mas Alan told Mr. Roy to come to dinner now, he's waiting in the dining room".
"Yes Ma'am, I'm going there now, thank you Ms Sri".
"Yes Mas Alan".
Alan went into the dining room, as indicated by Bu Sri. Seeing her arrival, Sofia was shocked. He didn't think Alan was at Roy's.
"Mas Alan is here?".
"Yes Sofi, I just arrived this afternoon".
"How do you know him, Sofi?".
"Yes Ma'am, Alan's brother....".
"Sofi, that's enough, it's mealtime, we'll discuss that next time".
"Good Mr. Roy".
Sofi was silent looking at Roy's eyes. He almost slipped. Unaware that Nisa's memory has not returned. Fortunately, Roy immediately controlled the situation. So, Nisa didn't think too much.
Dinner is more silent. The atmosphere looked more tense, not as usual. Sofia realized that she had spoken wrongly.
After finishing the dinner, Alan immediately returned to his room. Meanwhile, Nisa takes the children to the room. Roy uses the opportunity to talk to Sofi.
"Sofi, do you know Nisa's like this because of who?".
"I hope you keep your word in front of him".
"Let me explain everything later".
"Just tell me you're college friends first".
"It was for Nisa's good too".
"Sorry Mr. Roy, I was completely unintentional".
"I won't repeat it sir".
"I'm happy that Miss Nisa is the way she is now".
"Yes, keep learning".
"Don't say anything to Nisa, understand!!".
"Yes, Mr. Roy".
Sofia goes into her room, while Roy catches up to the twins' room.
"Over a long time ago, where did you come from...?".
"The children are asleep waiting for you".
"Anton called baby, he asked Alan".
"Oh, I miss Ratri so much".
"Make them here, let's have a vacation here".
"Had, he said wait for the right time".
Nisa and Roy turn off the twins' room lights. They stepped into their own room. Nisa's hand held Roy's arm.
"By the way, where does Sofia know Alan?".
"His looks they're already familiar mas".
"They used to be one campus in Jakarta, before Sofi came with you".
"Correctly, it looks like Sofi is putting her heart into that young man".
"Good then, we can marry the two of them later".
"Yes, I promised the girl I would bear her until she got married".
"Just calm down, I'll do it".
"You don't think too much".
The night ended peacefully. Nisa and Roy and Sofia rest in their rooms. But, another thing with Alan. The young man was precisely the way out to accompany Paijo around.
"If you're tired, go to sleep first".
"Tomorrow you have to work".
"I still can't sleep sir".
"We're teaching here for a while talking".
"Father ma, come on!!".
"I asked for coffee with Sri".
Alan looked around. Beautiful and comfortable environment. What a decent place to live. Maybe if she was still with him, Nisa would not necessarily be this happy.
Inexplicably Alan's heart aches every time he remembers Nisa and her two daughters. His self-worth as a man.
Can't keep his most loved one. It must be broken to see him with others.
