With a steady step, Roman was again present in our midst. I immediately put my phone in my bag. So even with Ayu who seemed very enthusiastic waiting for what would be told by Roman next.
"This, this little chip is very much useful. Is your husband wearing a cell phone shield?" ask Roman.
"Yes, he always wears it. Because he was very careless, so I asked him to wear a cell phone shield so that when the phone fell, it didn't break immediately" I told Roman.
"Good, you put this on the back of his phone. Just stick it, then put back the cell phone protector. I'll add the settings feature on your phone after that!" roman said as he handed me a very small and thin chip.
"Be careful, Beb. Don't get lost, and don't get caught when you install it. You'd better put it on later when he gets home from work. So tomorrow we come here again, to set the program from your phone. Don't you, Mister?" canda Ayu asked Roman.
"Yep, that's right. Congratulations on your first task" he said to me with a sweet smile.
I felt that Roman's smile was not the same one he gave Ayu. Is it possible that this man really still holds feelings for me? Is it true that he is still alone for waiting for me all this time? Some kind of silly question popped into my head, but I managed to get rid of it quickly.
"Alright, Rom. I'll pay for your services once this is over. Or, you want to receive a down payment first? I'm afraid, you think I'm not serious and might run away later after this mission has succeeded" I deliberately joked with him.
"Haha... I'll chase you to the end of the world if you run again this time!" he whispered, but I could still hear with both senses of my hearing.
Only Ayu did not seem to care much, because suddenly her phone rang. Ayu permission came out to raise her call to me, and I nodded in agreement. After Ayu left, Roman looked at me fixedly. I felt very awkward when being noticed by a man who wasn't my husband so closely like this.
"Why have you been looking at me ever since? Don't tell me you like people's wives!" I said it again with the intention of just joking.
"If it's true what?" roman asked back, making me wrong.
"Eh, what the hell? I-I'm just kidding, don't take it to heart" I told him.
"From the beginning, you were always in my heart!" answer slowly.
I'm getting awkward being in this room with just the two of you with Roman. I glanced at the door and the phone alternated, waiting for Ayu who never entered again.
"Why do you look so nervous? Relax, I'm not gonna fuck with you. After all, I'm a good man" he said to himself.
"Thank you" I replied with a relieved smile.
"Well, how long have you been married to that man?" ask Roman.
"It's been three years, we were also originally only betrothed by my father. Because he was the man I thought was the ideal husband type, I agreed to the match" I replied, recalling the first time we were betrothed.
"Well, it's still the age of arranged marriages?" stick it with a discordant tone.
"At that time, my father had just made it through his critical years. So, I had no other choice. For my father's health, let me give up. But, the day after I officially got married to Mas Adam, Dad passed away," I said that line with eyes that had started to get wet.
Roman stood up from where he sat, and sat down near me. He thrust a sheet of tissue at me, I took it and rubbed my wet eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it" he said sincerely.
Suddenly Ayu came back in and looked at me in wonder.
"Rom, are you Aqila? How is he crying? I just had to call back aja lo," asked Ayu worriedly and then sat down next to me.
"Udah, I'm okay. Just sad, suddenly remember Dad," I replied easing my best friend's worries.
"Ooh Baby's... Don't be sad, don't keep on being sad. Your father was happy in Heaven" Ayu's words made my heart calm. I smiled at Ayu's words.
After it felt like for a long time we exchanged stories, exchanged ideas and opinions, Ayu and I decided to leave. Because it doesn't feel like it's twelve in the afternoon. My stomach feels really hungry.
"Rom, thanks again. I will definitely call you as soon as possible" I said before leaving the Roman residence.
"Connecting me? You got my cell phone number?" ask Roman wonder.
That Roman question made me realize my own stupidity. How can I call him if I don't have his phone number. However, instead of admitting my carelessness. I chose to scapegoat Ayu this time.
"Let's just calm down, I just have to ask Ayu,"
"Why not go straight to me? I'm in front of you right now!"
"Eh, that... Later, or tomorrow. Tomorrow I will come here again with Ayu. Isn't that right, Beb?"
"Hopefully yes, if I'm not busy. That was the one who called my client. I can't be sure about tomorrow." Ayu refused subtly, making me smile clumsily in front of Roman.
"Yes, if so tomorrow I come alone." I replied, then left Ayu and Roman.
I'm really embarrassed right now, but I'm trying to cover it up in front of Roman. Shy dong, an Aqila looks wrong in front of a guy. Therefore, I chose the pretentious style of sulking at Ayu and rushed into her car.
Shortly after, Ayu came and got into his car. I was relieved, because Roman just stood for a while at the door and closed the door to his house again.
"A really long time? I was waiting for it, it was a laper. Yuk, to the Korean Restaurant at the end of Jalan Melati. He said that it was just opened and delicious, "take me impatient with Ayu.
"Yes, Big Madam. Immediately leave!" ayu replied with the driver talking to his employer.
After arriving at the recently opened Korean Restaurant, Ayu and I glanced at the empty table. Because it may still be new, the visitors are very crowded today.
"Beb, let's sit next to it," I asked Ayu, when I saw an empty table. We sat down and the waiter came with a menu. Ayu and I picked some of our favorite foods, then waited seriously.
However, suddenly my eyes were focused on the burly body sitting at the very corner table of this room. From his clothes, I don't know. But I was like no stranger to the man's posture and haircut. In front of the man, I saw Nisa. When I saw Nisa stroking her legs on the man's thigh under the table, I felt disgusted at her behavior.
Then, as a servant approached them carrying some menus in trays, the man turned his head. And I could see his face very clearly.
"Mas Adam.." I said slowly and painfully.
