Dusty is my husband
24

Tika stood at the window, overlooking the green expanse of rice fields. Nadia's words so deeply pierced her heart. He felt so selfish for taking away his son's world.

As hard as Tika's heart held back her crying, until she felt her lower lip hurt from pressing her teeth.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Tika wiped her tears. He didn't want anyone to see him cry.

" Can I come in, Tika?"

The deg! That's Reno's voice? The door was indeed not in the lock, when Tika turned her head towards the source of the sound.

Reno's figure was framed on the door of the room. Tika nodded her head. Then he looked back and pointed out the window.

"What's up Tika? Nadia's question is a natural one. You should have answered as is, so Nadia wasn't confused."

"I'm sorry Mr. Reno. I'm just not ready yet."

" I understand your feelings. You and Nadia need time to adapt. And trust me, this is all over, okay. You have to be strong for your children. I believe you can!" gently Reno gave her spirit to Tika. Tika looked down on the word for word Reno said.

"Tika, "call Reno down. Tika looked towards Reno. Back their eyes are linked. Buru-hun Tika shifted her gaze. Because he couldn't look into those eyes. Eyes that were always shady every time he looked at her.

Always try to give him strength. Sometimes he even wants to swim in the shade of the eye, forget for a moment all the sadness in the

her heart. But...

Suddenly Tika's hand was in Reno's hand.Tika was shocked and tried to take off her hand gently. But Reno's hand is getting stronger. Forced Tika to look back into Reno's eyes, with the eyes of the question.

" I'm ready to be the father's replacement for Nadia.

Also for children who are still in the womb

mu. Frankly it is your presence that gives me strength to endure. We will support and support each other.

" egh..A.ku," Tika's words stuck in the throat

kannya. He had not expected Reno to express his feelings that quickly.

" You don't have to answer it now. I just want you to know, how I've been feeling all along

to you." look at Reno expectantly.

" I'm sorry, Mr. Reno,"

" Tika, can't you just call my name. No frills said sir!" exclaimed Reno a little annoyed.Tika so smiling look at Reno's sulking behavior.Reno was happy to see that smile.

" I'm sorry Reno, I still need a lot of time for all that."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you, Tika. Until you are sure to open your heart to me. I just want you to give me a chance to show me how I feel about you."

"Thank you, for all your kindness, yeah. I've been weighing on you a lot, all this time,"

" Don't say that, Tika. I am so grateful that I have met you. Because I feel alive again, having known you. May I hug you, Tika," Tika had not yet had time to answer, suddenly her body

been in Reno's arms.

Tika felt Reno's heartbeat beating

not tight in his arms. The warmth of her body, as if giving strength to Tika. After a few minutes, they were in a cuddling position, Tika unraveled Reno's embrace.

Tika did not want Nadia to suddenly see them.

" We have breakfast now, yes. I'm afraid Nadia's spending my rations" Reno's claw made Tika's laughter break. "I love hearing that laugh, Tika. I hope from now on that laughter is always present to accompany me," Reno's face attached to Tika's face. Making a red tinge coloring her ranum cheeks.

"Yes, I'm scared too. You see Nadiakan is indeed doyan arsik goldfish, ha.ha.." sahut Tika diverts the atmosphere. Tika did not think that Reno was that cute. For a long time I could melt like ice cream, who could stand it!

They both walked back to the dining table. Reno's cock is proven, Nadia has eaten first, in the bribe bi Risma.

" I'm sorry Reno, Nadia asked to eat first."

" What's wrong bi, "

"But.." bi Risma did not continue his words. Makes Reno and Tika feel astonished.

"That's you want Reno, Nadia's already hooked, her goldfish eggs,"

the astonishment.

" Mommy and Reno laugh," Nadia. But Aunt Risma was happy to see them laughing. And hope that one day the two become a husband and wife couple.

" It's okay, baby, Om happy to see Nadia eating it greedily" explained Reno still with her laugh, just not as hard as before. He feels funny, his funny as Tika comes true. Reno is most like the arsik goldfish that has eggs.

So he always asked Bi Risma if cooking goldfish arsik, the fish had laid eggs. It was unexpected that Nadia was also excited..

" There was only one fish, Reno boy."

" It's okay Bi. I have no opponent all this time. Once the opponent can not be responsible." everything so laugh.

" Oh, yeah. I'm leaving first. Maybe two or three days I'll be back here again" Reno said after they finished breakfast. Tika escorted us

doorway. Reno is happy when Tika wants to take her to the door.

With a small whistle, Reno got into the car

nya. Then waved his hand. Tika bala

s lambaian it. The happiness continued to carry over until Reno was in his office.

So that his men whispered in his mere ngnya. Because since the death of his wife, only this time they saw his boss so happy.

" It looks like Mr. Reno is in love,"

whispered Sinta to her partner Murni.

" Yes too, time. I became curious as to what kind of woman could lure Mr. Reno." Pure retorted.

" Hey on what whispers" chirped Aga, when

seeing his colleagues gossip.

"Look, Mr. Reno is not as usual," Sinta protested to Reno's room.

" What is not as usual. The boss's feeling is fine." Aga said, he was surprised why his partner was talking about the Boss.

" Basic is insensitive." - Pure Lady is upset. Aga became more surprised to see the behavior of his colleagues.

" You don't know how to tell the difference." Sinta was also upset because Aga thought too late.

" Hem..Is it because the Boss is whistling, what's wrong?" buyak Aga is more astonished. makes Sinta and Murni also more goiter.

" Yes there, don't like the conversation people if not connected," Sinta encouraged Aga to go to her desk. It's hard to talk to people but not connect.

Aga scratched his head that was not itchy. It's strange that nimbrung same girls. Wrong a little directly hit bully.

But Aga even came to mind, what was strange with the Boss.

It was already dark when Reno walked out of her room. Reno glanced at the clock on her desk, 19;30. Reno was shocked to forget the time. Reno is finishing up some important files. Now his neck feels stiff.

His men were on leave, but Reno did not realize that the working hours were over. Sinta reminded me earlier. But in his presence.

Reno picked up her gawai lying on the table of the living chair in her room. When he opened the app with the green phone logo, dozens of notifications came in. Reno filters the incoming notifications. There are some from Tika.

" Don't forget lunch, even late." accompanied by an emotion smile.

" If you bang Reno back, please buy sweet arum mango yes,"

" Bang Reno," Reno smiled reading those two words. The word had blown his wishful thinking out even further.

" I'm sorry, just opened wa. Lunch is late, double to dinner only, 🤣"

" Thank you, have given me a special call, later I will bring mango se receipt, 🤣😍"

I waited a few minutes for no reply. Because it is inactive. Nothing later he will see.

I hurried out of the office. Heading home to my two parents. I haven't been home for almost a month, because of the busyness

I'm taking care of Tika's case. *****
