"You really want to work in Jakarta again, Sa?" Ask Mr. Malik who is currently coming to Elsa to his room. Mr. Malik glanced at some of the fresh bread on the table, which made him frown in confusion. Especially in the trash can there are two packages of fresh bread.


"Yes, Pa. Nice opportunity, right? After all, the salary is also good," replied Elsa while tidying up the contents of her closet.


"Hem, yes. But will you be comfortable?" Ask Mr. Malik later.


"Come right, Pa. Just pray," said Elsa with a sour face.


"Papa always doain you, son," replied Mr. Malik. "Oh yes, Sa. Why are you buying so much bread? I will be in an expired hunt" he continued.


"I'm lazy to eat rice, Pa. It's nausea, so I'll just eat some bread" replied Elsa, which made Mr. Malik feel even more strange.


"So weird" he murmured, but he tried to ignore it. "So when are you leaving?" Ask Mr. Malik later.


"Next week, Pa. If I'm better," he replied.


"Where will you live?" Ask Mr. Malik again.


"I'll find a house close to the office later,"


"Papa hope you don't live with your former manager, Sa! And Papa wants, you don't meet that guy, what's his name? Jimmy?"


"No way, Pa. I hate him too,"


"Good, actually we don't care if you want to be friends with anyone, as long as you can take care of yourself, Sa. If you get it wrong, we're ashamed."


"I promise I'll take care of myself, Pa!"


Elsa's face was certainly so lethargic, her eyes were so sweet, it felt like the dark vortex in her life would never be able to pass through.

"Mama can stand now" said Robin enthusiastically when he saw his mother who could stand alone even though both legs still seemed to tremble.


This afternoon, Robin accompanied her mother who was undergoing therapy walking in her yard.


"It can, Ma. As long as Mama continues to train Mama's feet every day, later if Mama can walk, we can go on vacation like when I was a child. I miss spending time with Mama" said Robin to encourage her.


"Oh yeah, said Joanna, you went to Surabaya yesterday, what's the job there?" Ask Anita ma'am who immediately made Robin speechless.


"Are you quiet?"


"It's nothing, Ma. There was only a little business there, Mama was calm," replied Robin later and her mother nodded in confidence.


"Oh yeah, papa you.." Anita's mom's speech stopped when Robin's phone rang.


"For a while, Ma," said Robin then he stayed away from his mother because the one who called him was Elsa.


"What's wrong?" robin asked half a whisper.


"I'm leaving next week, I want you to set up a place that's comfortable for me!" Elsa from across the phone.


"I will take care of everything, you just need to come here, and take good care of my future son, I will guarantee your life!"


"I don't want anyone to know about my pregnancy, including your mom!"


"I know,"


"Keep, why did you make me your private secretary? you didn't talk about that before?"


"It's just a formality, I've got a private secretary."


"So you made a fake contract?" Screeched Elsa.


"That's real, it's just that I have the right to hire you or not, I'm the boss!" Robin's reply was fierce.


"It's stupid, it's weird!" indignant Elsa before finally sever Teflon connection, making Robin can only shake the head.
