*Cecilia POV*
I tried to stay calm after the discovery of the pregnancy test a few days ago. I acted as if nothing had happened. Nayla and Mas Alvian are getting closer. Nayla, who used to be so awkward to face me and Mas Alvian, is now more open and cheerful.
I made sure the testpack belonged to Nayla. Because Neneng said, it's not his. And I know Neneng is telling the truth.
All right, for now. I'll just wait. Waiting for Nayla to be honest. There's too many things you've covered, Nay. Please be honest now. My love is in my heart.

"Cil, it's me Radit. Can I come in?"
Radit knocked on Cecil's door, but there was no answer from the inside.
"Amel said Cecil hasn't been out of the office for a break. Why is there no answer? The cil? I'm in!"
Radit decides to enter without waiting for Cecil's approval.
Cecil is still busy in front of his computer.
"It's like you're so busy, you don't hear me knocking on the door from before."
"Eh, Radit? Sorry I didn't hear you knock on the door. What's up?"
"I want to take you to lunch. Amel said you haven't been out of the office since. It's past the office break, Cil. We should make good use of the rest hours. After all, the Rangga gave us an hour to rest. Don't you?"
"You're not polite! Do not call Mr. Rangga just by name!"
"Why are you defending him? He is only a few years different from us. No need to be so formal with her."
"You are!!!"
Cecilia laughs. Raditya can always be entertaining at the right time. Although sometimes the way of speech impressed urakan, but Cecil liked it. He was a good friend, and always will be.
Back when High School, Cecilia moved to school because her father moved to work out of town. At the new school, he meets Radit and Nadine. Eventually the three of them became friends. Although eventually their friendship ended due to a misunderstanding between Cecil and Nadine.
"Cil, if you have a problem. You can tell me."
Cecilia stopped typing for a moment. "What do you mean?"
"Don't hold everything yourself. You can count on me. Like before."
Cecilia remained silent. He doesn't know what to answer. On one side he wanted to tell all his misfortune.
But, on the other hand, this was his household matter. And Cecil knows, it's not good to expose household problems in front of others.
"Nothing to tell me. I'm doing fine. Lately I've been very busy. That's all!"
"You sure you're not hiding something?"
Cecilia nodded. "Thank you for your concern. But I'm fine." He ended the conversation with Radit with a smile on his face.
...***...
A month has passed since Cecil invented his home pregnancy test kit. He was waiting for someone to speak truthfully in front of him. But everyone remained silent. Nayla or Alvian.
Nayla's condition is increasingly visible, if she is pregnant. He had nausea and vomiting in the morning. His appetite began to decline. It was very desirable for Cecil to pick them both. But Cecil restrained himself.
One night, he finds Alvian and Nayla has just returned from the hospital. Cecil knew because he had eavesdropped on Alvian and Nayla. Of course it makes Cecil anger. But still arrested.
Why do they not want to confess? It was obvious that they were hiding something. When will they cover up Nayla's pregnancy?
For days he fought with ego in himself. He asked Alvian. But he was still not ready to hear an answer from Alvian.
Yes, Cecilia is afraid if it is true that Alvian has already asked for her love. Alvian has promised to repair their relationship. But what happened did not match what he had said before.
...***...
That night, while Nayla and Alvian were having dinner, Cecilia was busy tidying up her belongings. His decision was already unanimous, he wanted to calm down for a while. He wants to be alone. His hardened heart is now fragile. There is no honesty that she gets from her husband and her honeymoon.
"Mas--- I want to say goodbye."
Cecilia who approached Alvian with a large bag, suddenly made Alvian surprised.
"Where are you going?"
"I don't think I can live here anymore. I'm leaving for a while. Calm down."
Alvian and Nayla moved out of their seats.
"Whatchu mean? Don't confuse me!"
"Buddy?" Cecil grinned.
"I should be confused, Mom. I'm confused as to how else I have to face your lies."
"What lie? Speak clearly!"
"It!" Cecil showed me the pregnancy test kit he found.
"It's yours, isn't it?" Cecil pointed towards Nayla.
Nayla widened her eyes. He just fell silent.
"I'm waiting for you to speak honestly to me."
"Please don't be like this! We can talk about this all right." Alvian's starting to soften.
"So right if Nayla's pregnant? And that's your son, Mas?"
Alvian hush. Cecilia screamed and cried. Her tears could no longer be contained. Alvian's silence was already the answer to all the questions he had in his brain.
"Why, Mas? Why are you doing this? You said you wanted to fix everything. You said we'd start all over. Is this the beginning of the story you're talking about?"
Cecilia was crying. He would not accept being betrayed in this way. Although actually, Cecil has been betrayed since long ago. But his trust in Alvian makes him very sure that Alvian will not mess with Nayla. Especially those related to husband and wife.
"Our son just died yesterday. How could you do this to me? Why?!" Cecil yells at Alvian.
"Enough Cecil!!!" Alvianpun began to show his anger.
Cecil approached Nayla. Stare at him with clinging. "Why did you betray me? Why Nay? You said you wouldn't take Alvian from me, but why are you doing this now? Why?!" Cecilia shook Nayla's body. But Nayla was flinching.
Alvian dragged Cecilia away from Nayla. He doesn't want anything to happen to Nayla.
"Stop everything Cecil! Don't blame Nayla. Nayla is my wife too. So she deserves her rights as a wife. You shouldn't be so selfish as to always blame Nayla. Because he has the same rights as you."
Cecilia smiled grinning. "Agoist? I'm selfish?"
"Yes. You never change. You're selfish! Always think you are right and others are wrong. From the past until now. You always have been!"
"Yes, I'm selfish. I always think of myself. Therefore, I'd better get out of here. That way you'll be happier without me."
Cecilia put her feet up and carried her bag out of the house. Nayla pleads with Alvian to keep Cecilia from leaving. Alvian refused to do so.
"Let him go, Nay. Let him calm down first. I know Cecilia's nature." Alvianpun stepped away to turn his back on Cecilia.
