"So what did Nurbanu think? Did he tell you about your wedding plans?"
Sarah changed the atmosphere of conversation that was initially light to heavy. Her mimicry took her seriously, supporting the stern question she had just posed to her ex-husband-Shehan.
Shehan turned to avoid Sarah's intense glare, on a glass filled with half water. The glass was again grabbed and re-painted by the water. The movement of water through Shehan's throat was quite clear, when he looked up slightly.
From across the street, Sarah's bead aimed at the glass that had been empty and Shehan had just placed on the table. She waited for her ex-husband's answer.
"Huft ...." Shehan's heavy breathing wafted along with his light brown iris that moved towards Sarah. "I didn't tell Nurbanu about this, Sarah. I don't want him to know."
Shehan's fingers were pulled from the glass body and landed on the table. He held the sitting position to be firm.
Shehan's answer suddenly made Sarah frown not understand. "Why? He will feel strange if he sees the closeness of the two of you later," he explained.
"Sarah, I don't want Nurbanu to be surprised to find out I married his nanny. So I decided, I'll keep my distance from Lilis even if we're married."
"Pssh ...," Sarah's laughter sizzled lightly as she turned away for a moment. Not to be underestimated, but Sarah thinks Shehan's reasoning doesn't make sense to her.
"Do you think marriage is a joke, Shehan?" sergeant Sarah when they both come face to face. "What would you say to Nurbanu if you saw Lilis sleeping in the same room as you? Are you also saying that you're going to split the bed for a while? Huh, that's funny!"
"I don't want to tell Nurbanu now.".
The old brown-haired man insisted. The debate between him and his ex-wife was inevitable. Nevertheless, both Sarah and Shehan never had a big fight let alone prolonged. One of them will surely give up.
"You should tell Nurbanu about your wedding plans, Shehan. Soon he will accept it. Just like my wedding and Jody's. I don't want my daughter to be disappointed after knowing the back of the day."
"Don't forget Nurbanu is also my daughter."
"She's our daughter. If you don't want to tell him, let me tell Nurbanu. It must be better than he would be astonished to see your affection one time."
'I don't want to tell Nurbanu because next year, I will also divorce Lilis.'
Shehan grumbled in his mind. The argument between the two did not last long because Sarah's new husband Jody came to the restaurant to pick up his wife. The hospitality of the two men who had accompanied Sarah had occurred. Then Shehan had to get breastfed when Jody brought Sarah into her car.
The perfect shadow of Sarah's figure is still reflected in Shehan's mind as long as he drives the car home. Indeed his eyes focused on the road, but not with the contents of his head. However, there are still a handful of feelings of love left in the Shehan calf recesses for the woman.

Nightfall.
"So you met Sister Sarah this afternoon? Why didn't you tell me?" ambush Lilis innocently.
It doesn't mean anything. However, Shehan's response was different. The Turkish man squinted his eyes as a form of dislike.
"Why should I tell you if I want to see Sarah? Do I have to ask you permission first, do I?"
Lilis looked down in fear. "Sorry Mister. I don't mean it. I also want to talk to Sister Sarah, if you'd excuse me for marrying Mr." Jemari Lilis clashed with each other restlessly in front of her stomach which was lined with white shirts. There is a large screen printing of Doraemon images on the middle of the shirt.
Shehan snorted dejectedly looking at Lilis. He did not want to be disturbed at all his personal affairs, especially when it comes to Sarah. "Sarah will pick up Nurbanu tomorrow afternoon at kindergarten school. During this week Nurbanu will stay with her. You can talk to Sarah there."
"Yes, sir," Lilis replied weakly while still bowing.
"We seem to have to make a prenuptial agreement before our wedding. There are many things that we must agree on so that there are no misunderstandings later on. And one more thing, don't wear clothes like that after becoming my wife!"
Shehan threw away his sour face while putting both hands into the pocket of light pants he was wearing tonight. While Lilis immediately noticed the Doraemon T-shirt he was wearing.
'What's wrong with my shirt?'
The question in Lilis' heart was answered by Shehan. The man blatantly said his dislike for Lilis appearance.
Gluey!
Saliva Lilis swallowed in.
'There must be a lot of rules made by Mr. Murad even though I'm just his contract wife.'
"My body is mostly like this, sir. Because the price is cheap, so I often buy clothes like this," explained Lilis with a sad look.
Shehan. "Tomorrow after Nurbanu school, meet me at the mall. I'll get you a shirt!" Shehan left the middle room without waiting for Lilis's approval.
"Yes, Sir." Lilis' slow reply turned out to be out even though she had been left alone.
'In addition to being mentally strong, it seems that I also have to be strong in faith if I want to be Mr. Murad's wife.'
"Huft ...." Lilis breathed heavily from her mouth.
**
Lilis left hand raised to the front of the chest, the watch that circled there already showed the time at 12:25 pm. Nurbanu will soon be out of his classroom. Lilis and the other mothers were waiting in front of the classroom.
Usually, Mutia's mother, Nurbanu's classmate, was diligent in greeting Lilis. He also couldn't help getting the girl to talk. However, today Mutia's mother does not see the trunk of her nose. Even a young man who got off the car used by Mother Mutia.
Long enough Lilis noticed the man, now her attention was fooled by the arrival of Sarah who had just arrived at the Sunflower Kindergarten school.
'That's Sister Sarah, ' Lilis murmured as she stared in admiration at Shehan's ex-wife who walked up to her.
Gluey!
Lilis swallows saliva. She was fascinated by Sarah's beauty.
'Sarah's sister is really beautiful and always beautiful, ' said Lilis again. Looking unblinkingly at the woman who had such a tall posture.
"Hello, Lilis!" greet Sarah when the distance between the two is near.
"Ha-hello, Sister Sarah! Good day." Lilis even stammered, groggy facing the beautiful woman.
"Have you been waiting here a long time?"
"Ah, not so long, Ma'am. It's only fifteen minutes." A faint smile accompanied Lilis reply.
"Oh yeah ...." Sarah looked up at the window of Nurbanu's class. The students were singing together before the lesson was dissolved. Then Nurbanu's birth mother came back face to face with Lilis who was standing nearby.
"How are you, Lilis?"
"Eum .. I'm good, Ma'am. How's your own mom?"
Sarah's friendly face is created. "I'm good too, Lilis."
Then Lilis ventured to express her feelings to Sarah. "Sir, there's something I want to say to you" Ma'am."
"About your marriage to Shehan?"
Sarah to the point. Sontak Lilis bent her face, a shy hue immediately seeding on her cheeks.
