Arjuna deliberately did not tell Cilla that today there is a schedule of dinner meetings with prospective buyers from Vietnam.
Arjuna is not alone because Papa Arman requires Tino to accompany him. Already memorized by the nature of his son, Papa Arman does not want Arjuna's emotions that need to be used by the parties waiting for the opportunity.
“Bro, it's 11 p.m., we'd better go home. Elo haven't told you about Cilla, have you ? Remember Bro, he is not just a girlfriend, but a wife and there are children elo also at home,” whispered Tino.
It was 2 hours ago that the official meeting with the two guests from Vietnam ended. The two invite Arjuna to have a casual chat while drinking and enjoying live missions at the hotel bar.
Until 11 pm, there was no sign of Arjuna wanting to end his chat that had broadly diverged from business affairs.
Tino himself was not calm, because Arjuna told Tino to turn off his phone since 8 pm so that Cilla could not disturb them and wonder at Tino.
Finally Arjuna obeyed the advice of his assistant and best friend. The streets in Jakarta that are free from traffic jams make Tino only takes 30 minutes to drive Arjuna home.
The house is dark and quiet. There was no warm welcome from his wife and son as usual. Arjuna's heart suddenly slipped, realizing that he was still childish.
Arjuna rushed up to his room on the 2nd floor and slowly opened the door believing that his wife and son must have fallen asleep.
The room light is gone. Arjuna smiled as he watched Sean sleep in their cot instead of the crib that he used to use everyday.
Arjuna's longing was felt to make the man immediately put the briefcase and take off his tie. His eyes went around looking for a change of clothes that Cilla had usually prepared. There's nowhere, which means his wife didn't get him ready for Arjuna tonight.
15 Minutes later Arjuna came out of the bathroom. His steps brought Arjuna closer to Cilla and his eyes immediately saw there was a wet part on Cilla's pillow.
Arjuna's hand immediately rubbed his little wife's cheek, apparently his guess was not wrong. Even the cheeks of Cilla still feel moist means his wife has not long fallen asleep after tired of crying.
Slowly Arjuna moved around, trying to move Sean into his crib, but as if understanding the mood of his mother, Sean immediately cried as he felt his body lift.
“Why ?” Cilla opened her eyes to hear Sean's cry and immediately glared in annoyance when she saw Sean being picked up by Arjuna.
“Mau moved into his bed,” said Arjuna without guilt.
Cilla sighed with an annoyed face and moved from a lying position and took over Sean from Arjuna.
“Bobo again, baby,” cajol Cilla while rocking Sean in his arms.
The 7-month-old baby is mendusel-dusel the source of his life with a cry that began to calm.
“Iya, run out it bobo again, yes.”
Cilla twists her body and unbuttons her pajamas to give Sean asi right from the source.
“Why should I turn around?” asked Arjuna while frowning.
Cilla did not deny even humming while rubbing Sean's face until not long later, the baby fell asleep again.
“Let Sean sleep in his place,” pinta Arjuna when he saw Cilla instead turned around after tidying up his pajamas again.
Cilla was already getting ready to put Sean to bed right between Arjuna and Cilla.
“Cilla,” Arjuna emphasized her voice and her eyes asked Cilla to comply with her request.
But Cilla ignored him and stayed put to sleep
Sean got close to him and then he himself went back and pulled the blanket.
Arjuna could only take a deep breath to ease his emotions, hoping that tomorrow everything would be fine.
***
Arjuna squirmed as a bright light started to disturb his eyes. Sean and Cilla are no longer in bed.
His hand grabbed the phone on the nightstand and looked at the time indicator at 08.35.
After her consciousness was gathered, Arjuna went straight to the bathroom before descending down. His head was a little dizzy, probably the effect of alcoholic beverages that he had not touched for a long time.
Arjuna's eyes narrowed as he opened the room curtain and saw a foreign car stop in front of the fence. A man of her age got out of the car and opened the rear passenger door and brought some plastic bags to give to Toga and Dirman.
Taxi online ? From his interactions, Arjuna was not convinced that the man was an online taxi driver.
Arjuna let out a sigh and his emotions were re-inclined when he saw Cilla smiling kindly even moving Sean's hand to wave at the man.
Not until 5 minutes, the door opened and Cilla casually entered, ignoring Arjuna who was still standing by the window.
Arjuna deliberately did not reprimand her and let Cilla clean the body in the bathroom.
Once out of the bathroom, Cilla only glanced at Arjuna who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a position facing towards the dressing table.
“Where was it?” asked Arjuna in a cold tone.
“Market,” says Cilla while polishing her face with moisturizer.
“Who brought Cilla earlier ?”
“His sister is Mom Mega, a neighbor who lives down the street. Last time I met Mega and her sister in the park after exercising, Cilla and Sean again took a walk to the market and drove home as well.”
“Bu Meganya no.”
“Bu Mega has gone down first because of a lot of shopping for fresh fish and meat, so ask to be delivered first and then tell his sister to take Cilla and Sean.”
“Why not ask Dirman or wake Mas Juna if Cilla wants to go to the market.”
“Mas Juna heard Cilla talk or just enter the left ear out the right ear only ? Cilla said that she met Mega's mother in the park and after chatting, Mega Bu invited Cilla and Sean to come to the market.
Mumpung there are friends who invite, yes Cilla lamgsung accept the offer of Ibu Mega, while Cilla wants to know the market situation near here.”
“It is not possible to go home and ask Mas Juna who accompanied Cilla ?”
Cilla threw away her face and did not say so she walked to the door wanting to get out of the room.
“Where to ?” asked Arjuna in a firm voice.
Cilla did not answer and continued her steps. It turned out that the door of the room was locked by Arjuna.
“Mas Juna's.….”
“Our line is not finished yet !”
“What's more business ?” Cilla was still standing near the door without turning back.
“Why didn't you tell me yesterday that Glen was a lecturer on campus ? And today is it appropriate for a married woman to come home to another man ?”
Cilla clenched her hands holding back her emotions and still reluctantly answered Arjuna's question.
“Cilla, what question Mas Juna less clear ?”
Arjuna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly trying to break his emotions. Slowly he approached Cilla who was still standing at the door.
“Cilla,” Arjuna's voice began to decline in intonation, not as high as earlier.
“Lazy talk to a half-drunk man,” hiss Cilla while brushing away Arjuna's hand that touched his shoulder.
Cilla turned around and was about to pass through Arjuna but Arjuna swiftly restrained his wife's arm.
“Mas Juna is not drunk.”
“Iya only half drunk,” said Cilla with a cynical smile.
“Usually people whose brains are half-conscious are more listening to other people's reports but do not understand the nature of their own wives,” said Cilla full of affirmation with eyes that began to glaze over.
Arjuna did not reply, only staring at Cilla with a frown.
“Mas Juna forgot that yesterday's schedule in the office was full of meetings ? Wa Cilla was also briefed. What Mas Juna thinks Cilla's a model
the wife who will force her busy husband to listen to her grievances and heartbreak because it turns out that the crazy man who was avoided is now even a lecturer on campus ? Mas Juna thought Cilla did not want to directly tell Mas Juna ? Mas Juna thought Cilla was happy to meet Glen instead ? Does Mas Juna know how anxious Cilla is to see Glen!”
Cilla revealed her heart in a voice that kept rising while stomping Arjuna's hand violently until it was released.
Arjuna was surprised to see Cilla's attitude. During the courtship and marriage Arjuna had never seen Cilla until screaming like this.
Arjuna swiftly grabbed Cilla back and carried the woman into his arms.
“Lease ! Cilla hates Mas Juna ! Release !” Cilla continued to thrash while shouting.
“Mas Juna will never let go of Cilla until anytime let Cilla hate Mas Juna !” Arjuna.
“Cilla would like to own, please freelance,” Og Cilla.
Arjuna did not let go of his embrace just stretching it a little.
“Cilla,” call Arjuna slowly.
Unexpectedly, Cilla took the opportunity to push Arjuna back.
“For so long just by hearing people's stories, seeing reports sent by others, Mas Juna instantly lost trust with Cilla. Mas Juna never wanted to see how Cilla really felt. Cilla ajs new emotions when I see with her own eyes how the women approach Mas Juna and Mas Juna's attitude as if happy to be approached by them even let Yola kiss Mas Juna ! Did Mas Juna ever think about how Cilla felt all this time ?
Mas Juna did not care and only usually fled to calm the heart. Did Mas Juna not think how anxious Cilla was last night because there was no news ?
If only Cilla did not remember the responsibility to Sean, Cilla would have gone to find Mas Juna because let alone call to give news, send a message just not !”
“Avnightly problem..”
“Cilla hate Mas Juna ! Hate ! Mas Juna is a coward ! Just thinking of your own feelings and not caring about your child and wife !”
Cilla rushed into the bathroom and locked it from the inside.
His body immediately sagged while leaning against the door and then sobbing.
Her feelings have been muddled since seeing Glen on campus. Fear, worry, annoyance and want to run away.
Cilla wanted to share it all with Arjuna and wished her husband strength with a warm embrace instead of finding her husband's clothes smelling of cigarettes and alcohol.
“Cilla,” Arjuna knocked on the bathroom door but there was no answer, just sobs.
“Cilla open the door. Mas Juna apologized about last night. Please open the door.”
Cilla did not reply, only a sobbing that was still heard from within. Arjuna's heart was pinched because all this time Cilla was not up to this emotion to cry as eagerly.
Even when he found out about Papi Rudi's disease and the news of Papi's death, Cilla was still able to regulate his emotions and not to hysterical like this.
Arjuna took a breath and swallowed him several times while beating himself who had been successfully provoked by the dark sender.
