Adira opened the door of the room as she could see Abrisam sleeping on her back. This woman was eager to tell me about the incident that happened this afternoon at the restaurant. However, she knew her husband had a lot of thoughts. He did not want to add to Sam's mind burden anymore.
What else if Sam finds out Gabriel's in Jakarta. One place to work with him. Surely Abrisam wouldn't like that.
“Honey, why daydream?”
Adira flinched and looked at Abrisam who had slept on his back and was now looking towards her. The woman shook her head.
“Nothing dear.” Adira closes the door, then goes up to the bed. He sat next to Sam who was still lying down.
Abrisam changed position to sit leaning on the bed. He held the wife's hand.
“If there is any story to me. Any problems at your job?”
This girl shakes again. However, this time it was accompanied by a smile so that Sam was sure of him and did not ask again.
“My work is fine. I'm okay.”
“you are sure?”
“Iya, but I'm into the mind can't love you son.” Adira pulls the hand that Sam is holding. He caresses his flat stomach, “I want to give you children and grandchildren for mama.”
“I don't have a problem. When to be given to God. Most importantly, we tried and prayed. Don't think too much. I don't want you to be sick because I think you have a child doang.”
Dira nodded, then poked his hand to Sam's neck.
“Happy get understanding husband.”
“Don't keep praising me. I'll be more handsome.”
Wrinkles printed clearly on Dira's forehead, “what's the connection?”
“I if praised will be happy. Keep smiling. People say, if I smile, I'm more handsome.”
Adira chuckles, “narcissistic basics.”
Sam also laughed at his own jokes and the reaction his wife showed. Their laughter stopped at once upon hearing the sound of starving stomachs from Abrisam's stomach. Adira bowed her gaze at the source of the voice.
“I’m hungry.” Sam held his stomach which felt the worms were on the march.
Dira lowers hands, “not you have eaten earlier?”
“I haven't had time to eat. From earlier just working on the thesis.”
This girl stared at the wall clock perched on the wall of the room. It's 10 p.m. He looked back at Sam.
“You forgot to eat. Next time don't forget. Come outside! I was cooking.”
They simultaneously got off the bed and walked out of the room.

Adira brought some groceries from outside into the kitchen. It was early morning when he arrived at the restaurant. There were a few officers coming. Until waiting for the girl stacking the groceries in a plastic bag into a large refrigerator.
He accidentally dropped a tomato and had to make it squat. However, when her little hand got the red fruit it was the larger hand holding her hand. Adira then turned her head, she found Gabriel smiling at her.
This girl did not care about her classmate. He continued the work.
“Not unexpectedly yes we can meet again. How are you doing?” Gabriel tried to open his voice.
“As you saw. I'm good.” Adira answered without looking at the man.
“You're still her lover, Sam?” ask Gabriel again.
Adira closes the refrigerator when the work on putting together her groceries is done. He looked at gabriel.
“I'm married to Sam. So we shouldn't get too close. Besides not good to see with others.”
Just now Dira wanted to step away from her stand, but Gabriel caught the girl's hand. As a result, Dira turned to Gabriel again.
“You're still mad because of that time? I've asked for forgiveness.”
Slowly Dira took off the grip on the wrist, “I am not angry. I just have to keep my husband feeling. Please don't get too close! Anyway because of that incident I already ilfil you.”
After saying his words Dira came out of the kitchen. Gabriel was angry at the girl's attitude. All were visible from the flushed face and the tightly clenched hands.
“Say daddy, I should be able to get what I want. I want you to be mine, Dira.” Gabriel muttered indistinctly. The kitchen is not having anyone. He was alone there lamenting Adira's departure.
Gabriel put his cell phone in his ear. It's been 15 minutes he's been talking through that flat object.
“Then how's daddy, I love him so much? I don't want him to belong to anyone else.”
[Have you ever expressed your feelings to her?]
“But.” Gabriel stunned, “but yesterday I kissed his cheek.”
[You dare kiss her? Wow, you are so brave. Express your feelings to let him know!]
“I dare not. I knew afterwards he would stay away. I want to apologize tomorrow to her for the incident.”
[You can't be weak! My son is not afraid of women. Keep chasing until it's yours! Express that feeling so he knows.]
One day passed. Gabriel is following orders from his father who is in Indonesia. He called the man again. However, his eyes were slightly puffy.
“Halo daddy!”
[Your voice sounds weird. You why?]
“I've followed daddy's orders, but Adira gets angry. He doesn't want to see me anymore. I lost him because of daddy!”
Through that phone call Gabriel vented his frustration.
[Hey, men don't lose just because they're rejected. You have to keep approaching him. Until your dream is achieved. You should be able to get what you want. Daddy will help.]
