Warm Debate


"Excuse me, I'm leaving first!" pamit Nissa, Radit looked up. Radit put all the files he was holding. Radit felt astonished to see Nissa's neat appearance. The astonished look that Nissa had just seen after a week of their marriage.


Nissa fell silent, looking at Radit's questioning gaze. It was as if Radit was astonished, in disbelief to see Nissa's performance this morning. Not the long robe and hijab she wears. Nissa used a long skirt combined with a long-sleeved shirt. Nissa looks fashionable and educated. The minus glasses make Nissa even more beautiful. Radit is fascinated by Nissa's charm. But far behind Radit's admiration. There was one question that stuck, a sense of wonder that Radit wanted to know.


"Where?"


"School!" as Nissa relaxed, Radit scrunched his forehead. Nissa twisted her body, pretending not to understand with Radit's gaze.


Nissa didn't seem to care about Radit's astonishment. One thing's for sure, he's going to stay in school. Nissa missed the school atmosphere. The child who calls him lovingly. Laugh at those whom Nissa always misses. For a week, Nissa forgot how to laugh. Nissa tries to be happy inside Radit's house. But all his efforts were in vain, only with Zain and holding Zain's tiny body. One thing that makes Nissa smile. Even the twilight that had been accompanying silence in his life. No longer able to expel the restless and restless in his heart. Nissa's twilight was no longer beautiful, dimming and losing its light.


"For!"


"Teach!" nissa said relax without burden. Radit stood up to Nissa. Nissa was busy with her teaching equipment. Nissa didn't feel Radit's presence. Why is Nissa so indifferent? Nissa just wants to go to school, teach and meet the children who love her sincerely.


"How much did you pay for a month? I'll pay for it. As long as you quit school!" said Radit coldly, right behind Nissa.


Nissa was stunned, the real voice of Radit shocked her. Nissa shuddered in horror, Radit's voice really scared her. Nissa took a few steps away. Radit saw Nissa's fear. The fear that disturbs Radit's heart. There's a different feeling that Radit himself doesn't know.


"You've bought me, should you pay for my freedom? Teaching one of my ways to find peace. Not just for the money, as you say!" nissa said firmly, Radit silently stared fixedly at Nissa's face. Every word that was spoken from Nissa's lips, was as if a sharp dagger pierced her heart.


"If not for money, then for what? Now is not the time for sincerity, all for nothing!" radit said coldly, words that were inversely proportional to the sound of his heart. Nissa smiled cynically, Radit's words didn't hurt Nissa's heart. Instead Nissa was increasingly convinced by her assessment of Radit.


"Everything cannot be measured by money. Just like your job as a young, well-established and rich CEO. As someone who is successful, I don't think you need to work hard day and night. When everything is in your hands. But one thing has been pursued all along. Satisfaction when you win a big project, beat the competitors of the business. Satisfaction that makes you always thirsty for success!" nissa said, Radit didn't make a sound. He stared fixedly at Nissa, the wife who was now trying to teach him.


"Mr Radit, the same goes for me. The salary of the honorary teacher was not great. But the love of my students is precious. Teaching is not the only joy of my life. But their laughter, the most beautiful thing in my life right now. We are two different people, but we have the same thing!" nissa said, then took her bag off the couch. Nissa walked up to Radit, a glance of Nissa glancing towards the clock on the wall. At exactly 06.00 WIB, Nissa was shocked to see that it was very noon. Nissa patted her eel slowly, she had to leave immediately. Otherwise he'll be late for school.


"Who said that? I work for money and money!" sahut Radit, covering his heart that agrees with Nissa's words.


"You're lying, because you've become a rich young businessman!" nissa said, smiling. A smile that somehow shook Radit's heart?


"I'm serious!" radit said, Nissa nodded slowly.


"Alright I believe, now I have to go!" pamit Nissa, then draw Radit's hand. Radit froze, as he warmly felt the touch of Nissa's lips on the back of his hand.


"Wait, I'm not allowing it!" radit shouted, as Nissa was already outside their room. Nissa turned her head, with a smile Nissa said to Radit.


"I've asked permission, will you not allow it!"


"Zain, what about him?" radit said, Nissa blinked both eyes. It's like Nissa said everything's fine.


"My son won't let his mother grieve. Therefore, he let me go!" said Nissa leisurely, then walked away from Radit's room. Nissa walked over without turning her head again, leaving behind a pensive Radit. Radit felt empty when Nissa left.


"Wait!"


"What else is it?" nissa said, right on the last rung. Nissa was annoyed at the attitude of Radit who kept holding her back. Instead Radit was always looking for a reason to stop Nissa.


"Where's my breakfast? You haven't prepared it for me!" shouting Radit from the second floor, Nissa let out a sigh. Nissa shook her head in disbelief, hearing the reason for Radit's unreasonable call.


"Great master, your breakfast is already at the table. Please come down and eat it!"


"I want you to make it!" radit said, Nissa glared at Radit. Nissa really didn't expect, Radit could be acting weird.


"Why does he want to leave so badly? I ran out of excuses to keep him from leaving. You stubborn woman!" batin Radit was upset, while patting the ladder guardrail slowly.


"Mama!" zain shouted, he ran from the direction of his room. Nissa stopped her steps, she twisted her body. Nissa saw Zain running with his weak body. Occasionally Zain staggered, Ifa swiftly restrained Zain's body.


"What's up, baby? Mama has to go!" nissa said, when Zain was in his arms.


"Follow!"


"Mama has to work!" nissa said warmly, Zain shook his head. Zain forced his way with Nissa. Zain's whining voice, made Nissa riled up.


"Zain's at home, with Ifa!"


"Follow!"


"Zain baby, mama's working. If Zain comes along, I'm afraid you can't take care of Zain!" as Nissa persuaded Zain, Nissa sighed.


"I should have gotten away from her father, now her son. Should I stop working for Zain? I can't leave Zain now, but I miss the kids!" inner Nissa was upset, while hugging Zain tightly.


"Darling, mom has to go. I promise you, after I go home to teach. Mama's gonna play with Zain!" said Nissa, Zain shook his head while holding Nissa's body very tightly.


"Well, mama's not going to work!" said Nissa final, then carried Zain into the house. Zain thrashed, he forced his way down from Nissa's sling. Zain ran towards Radit who had just descended from the second floor. Zain hugged Radit's legs tightly. Zain looked up, he stared expectantly at Radit. Radit could easily guess the reason for Zain's attitude.


"Go Nissa, she wants to come with you. Ifa will help you look after Zain!"


"But!"


"Go, otherwise Zain will cry for the whole day!" radit said, Nissa nodded. Zain smiled and immediately ran towards Nissa.


"I'm leaving!" pamit Nissa, then kissed the back of Radit's hand.


"Why is my heart beating?" inner Radit, as Nissa kissed the back of her hand.


"I'll drive you!"


"No need, I'll ride a motorcycle!"


"I'll drive you, period!" said Radit, holding Nissa's hand.


"Silk!"


"Hard-headed!" radit said, Nissa snorted in annoyance.


"When do you argue? Nissa's gonna be late for school!" adi said, Radit and Nissa looked at each other. They feel stupid, when arguing for something trivial.


"I'll drive you!"


"Whatever!" nissa said annoyed, Radit smiled triumphantly.
