The question from the owner of the rented house suddenly made Tian surprised. Shamefully Tian replied.
“Hah, no need, sir. I'm okay, really. I'm just wondering, what if later I stay in this house with my small family,” Tian replied as he scratched his non-itchy nape.
“Obah, Mas. I thought Mas Tian was having a headache until he hit Mas Tian's head like that. In that case, I pray that mas Tian will fit in with this house and can immediately bring a small family mas Tian to come,”, said the owner of the rented house in hopes that Tian is also willing to propose his house.
Hearing the prayer from the owner of the house made Septian look forward. He hopes that the prayer he and the owner of the house can be quickly affirmed by God. Even though it's all just a false hope that can't possibly happen.

A month had passed, and today was still the same as yesterday. Tian was still always paying attention to Aisyah. The small attention that actually makes Aisyah careless. Every day Tian always put a package containing breakfast, and in the afternoon Tian also always followed wherever Aisyah went to find lunch.
Even when Aisyah chose lunch at the office, Tian also chose to eat lunch at the office by way of delivery order. Likewise, in the afternoon before noon, Tian also always gave small attention by putting snacks such as biscuits, bread and fruit salads in Aisyah cubicles. Tian hopes that the woman he loves does not starve because women who are giving exclusive breast MILK tend to often feel hungry.
“Pak Tian,” call Aisyah coldly.
“Iya Aish, what's up?” Tian was delighted that his efforts had finally succeeded. Now Aisha wants to call her name again. Because ever since he revealed his heart to Aisha, Aisha started to stay away from him.
“Sorry, Sir. Can you stop all of your silly deeds, this! How many times does Aish have to say that you don't have to do this. Act like before, sir. Like superiors and subordinates. Father as my superior and I as a subordinate of Father,” stressed Aisyah who immediately made Tian fixated, the article was only this time Aisyah spoke quite firmly to him.
“Aisyah, I just want us to be like we used to be again,” Tian said gently.
“As I used to mean Father. The attitude of the Father like this actually makes me ilfil the same Father. So I beg you from now on stop approaching me, and stop giving food to me,” said Aisyah then went away without waiting for an answer from Tian.
After he finished venting his frustration at Tian, Aisyah gushed away towards the meeting room. Since today is the end of the month, Arseno asked all staff in the production division to hold a monthly meeting. So Witri and some other staff who were in the second shift on this day were asked to come early.
While in the meeting room, Tian and Aisyah became the center of attention, because from the beginning of the meeting, Aisyah seemed unfocused. Many times he was wrong in answering questions from Arseno. Likewise with Tian, as the head of the section on the Aisyah team, he made a presentation that was not in accordance with the reports. That made Arseno furious. After the meeting, Arseno called them both.
“Septian. Aisha. What's wrong with you two? You're not usually like this. Aisyah, you here are one of my proud employees. Even you have never made the slightest mistake before, but why did you become like this today. Daydreaming as the meeting goes on. And you Septian, it should be before you enter the meeting room. Read all the proposals you will present. Because one mistake alone can cause huge losses for our company.” Arseno seemed disappointed with the performance of two of his proud staff today. Because it was not usual for Aisyah and Tian to make the slightest mistake in working.
“Sorry, Sir. I promise I will not repeat it again,” said Aisyah Lirih with a face that looks down embarrassed.
“Sorry.” That's all Septian said to Arseno.
After saying the word ‘maaf’ to Arseno, finally Aisyah and Tian resigned themselves. They left Arseno's workspace.
Outside Arseno's room, Witri had been waiting for Aisyah since then. He was worried about his best friend. Witri also wanted to ask Aisyah about the reason why Aisyah could commit such recklessness earlier. Daydreaming and not focusing on monthly meeting hours. Because never once did Aisha make such a mistake.
“What is Aisyah's relationship with her husband that makes Aisyah like this.” Witri began to guess.
However, that thought came to a halt when Aisyah appeared from behind the door of Arseno's study. Seeing Aisyah walking away with a lunglai made Witri immediately approach her.
“Aish, you don't papa right?” witri asked with a worried face.
“Aish, no papa mbak. Inside, Aish was only given a reprimand, and it was indeed deserved Aish got,” Aisyah explained.
“Yes, that's it. Now you have to calm down first, let your ASI do not clog. Let you feel calm and not stressed, I will treat you hot chocolate in the cafeteria.” Tawar Witri sincerely.
Seeing the tangled face of Tian who had also just come out of the same space as Aisyah, immediately made Witri offer the same to her superior.
“Tian, you want to come, no?” witri asked Tian.
Hearing the offer Witri gave Tian, Aisyah immediately looked at Witri and shook her head, as if she did not want Tian to come along. However, it even makes Witri confused. Tian who saw that in the end rejected Witri's offer subtly.
“Thank you for the offer, but there is still work I have to improve, Wit,” subtly reject Tian. Although in the deepest of hearts, the man was eager to come and be on the side of Aisyah.
After being in the cafeteria and ordering two glasses of hot chocolate for herself and Aisyah, Witri finally couldn't wait to ask. What makes Ayesha become like this.
“Aish, what really happened? Are you like this because of personal problems? Is your relationship and your husband not okay?” Witri flocked Aisyah with various questions.
“This is not about Aish and mas Bayu problems, Ma'am. But about sir Tian,” Aisyah replied softly.
“What do you mean Aish?” witri asked with a puzzled expression.
Finally Aisyah told him everything that she had experienced these few months, all the kindness of Tian that turned out to have a certain purpose in it. This made Witri surprised and not out of thought. Witri did not expect if his boss who already has a wife, loves his subordinates who incidentally are the wives of people.
...***********...
Starting in the afternoon, Aisyah was home with Zahra, her little daughter who was always a medic when fatigue hit her body. Yes, today is the same as yesterday, Aisyah chose to go home using an online motorcycle taxi. He always remembered the phrase Bayu some time ago.
“Dek, if you can shift in the morning and go home in the afternoon you should take an online taxi only. Don't ask me to pick you up because it's still bright. Nothing will happen to you. After all picking you up in the afternoon was also very troublesome. The road must be very jammed. Clock so many new factory workers out all from the office.”
Aisyah clearly remembers all the words of Bayu, therefore Aisyah prefers to use an online ojek rather than having to be invited by Bayu.
While holding Zahra, Aisyah seemed silent and thoughtful.
“Do I resign, yes, from this job. After all, now the Bayu mas also has worked,” Inner Aisyah gamang.
Aisyah still felt uneasy because of the incident at the place where she worked today. It was actually not unpleasant because of the reprimand from Arseno but rather because of Tian's attitude towards her.
Today Bayu came home before the Maghrib because he had to go overtime. Bayu starts the spirit of pursuing the target in order to earn additional income. After parking the motorbike, Bayu immediately went in and greeted.
“Assalamualaikum,” says Bayu. However, only Aisyah answered her greetings.
“Waalaaikumusalam, Mas,” replied Aisyah then kissed the back of Bayu's hand with reverence.
“Loh, really quiet, Deck. Where are the others?” ask Bayu.
“Zahra, again sleeping in the room, Mas. Mother from the afternoon after Aish came home from work immediately went to the bude house. He said he wanted to see a sick Bude family. If you seem to be overtime, Mas. And if Erina, Aish, doesn't know. From returning from work earlier, Aish had not seen it,” Aisyah explained.
“Oh, yes, already then, Deck. Now I want to take a shower first. You're preparing dinner for the mas, yeah. Mas already hungry once,” pinta Bayu on his wife because in fact he was already very hungry.
When after finishing preparing the last menu on the dining table, then Bayu also came out of the bathroom. Bayu smelled the aroma of vegetable soup and egg balado that evoked his appetite. Do not forget also served shrimp crackers and warm tea as a complement to dinner.
How delicious dinner this time, maybe because Bayu's stomach feels hungry, so whatever he eats feels so delicious.
“Dek, you don't eat?” ask Bayu.
“No, Mas. Earlier after work Aish had eaten,” replied Aisyah briefly. Bayu just looked at her then focused back on the food that was in front of her.
“Mas, after this, Aish wants to talk,” said Aisyah lirih.
“What do you want to say, Dek?” asked Bayu without turning away from the food in front of him.
“Mas, if for example Aish resigns from the company where Aish works how?” the question from Aisyah suddenly made Bayu look up.
“You sure you want to resign, Dek? If so, no problem. Mas even happy because you will always be close to Zahra,” explained Bayu.
“You don't need to worry about our family's financial problems. Now the salary is more than enough to meet our needs," continued Bayu again.
Hearing Bayu agree to his resignation decision made Aisyah's heart calm. He hoped that in this way Septian would no longer attempt to approach him.
