Father's Status On My Son's Deed
12. Aji's attitude

Tired of the man, his work piled up so much that almost every day he went home when the sky had turned dark. The elevator opens, Aji walks towards her unit while loosening a tie that feels suffocating.

“Mas, already home!” asha who came to greet him. “I've prepared warm tea at the dining table. There are also fried bananas there, hopefully you like,” said the woman followed her husband's footsteps. Asha then stopped as Aji stopped her footsteps.

“You don't need to do that.”

“It's okay. My job is to take care of you. I'm bored at home and I—“

Aji continued his steps as Asha finished her speech. He cares what his wife thinks now.

“Hah!” sigh Asha tired. But he will not give up. For him to now be a good wife is his duty, there is no way he will ignore Aji while the man has been very good to him. Yeah, well in a sense don't throw him out of here.

“Mas! Have you had dinner? Quick out. I'll heat the vegetables!” Fill in the message Asha sent to the husband's cell phone. Aji immediately headed to the bathroom to clean herself up.

When he finished, the man went down and sat down at the table. Aji looked at some vegetables on the dining table, he saw the plate Asha was still clean.

“What do you want to eat?” ask Asha. Aji didn't answer, he'll take the rice. However, Asha had first taken the rice and stored it on Aji's plate.

“You want this vegetable? I've cooked, but sorry if my cooking is not good for you, Mas,” said Asha, some side dishes he stored on Aji's plate. They then enjoyed their dinner quietly.

Aji returned to the room, while Asha cleaned up their food marks. Not to forget Asha also cleaned the kitchen room before she slept later. From the kitchen Asha sees Aji going to her study, she takes the initiative to make Aji coffee. It was fortunate that her husband's workspace was on the first floor so she could still get there.

The door was knocked, Aji did not say because his ears were listening to music using a headset. Long Asha waited, but there was no sound of the husband inviting her in. Eventually the woman ventured to open the door. It was only when Asha arrived at the table and stored Aji's coffee to distract her gaze from the laptop screen.

“Who told you to come in?” aji asked after opening the headset.

Asha lowered her head hearing the tone of her husband's angry voice like that. “Sorry, Mom. I knocked on the door, but Mas didn't hear it. So, I'm just going in. Forgive me,” Asha said, then nodded her head and turned around to leave from there. Aji accompanies Asha's steps until the woman closes the door of her study.

A loud snort sounded from Aji's mouth, the stare of the coffee that was still reflecting the thin smoke, he just glanced at it a glance then returned to his work.

In front of the door of Aji's office, Asha was smiling thinly while hugging the tray in her hand. He will do his best for Aji, despite living together with the man for only two years. But in his heart he wanted that man would accept him and live together forever.

“God, can I be selfish and want to stay with him?”

“Mas, will you come home tonight again?” asha asked when Aji was with her for breakfast. These few days Aji used to come home late and always worried her.

“Hem. What's up?” The man glanced at Asha, but soon the wife shook her head quickly, hesitating to continue.

“Nothing. Just ask. Want to add rice?” tawar Asha's.

Aji had finished breakfast, she got up and picked up her briefcase.

“Mas. Wait!” asha exclaimed as Aji was just about to leave.

“What?”

“Anu .. I've made provisions for you.”

Asha immediately went towards the kitchen and gave the lunch box she had prepared for her husband.

“You think I'm a kid?” tanya Aji stared lazily at the food box offered by the wife. Without saying much more, the man left Asha standing in her place.

What else could he do besides receive the treatment of that man? After all, it remains in Aji's eyes that she is always wrong and a disgusting woman. He could only sit back in his chair and stare sadly at the food box.

Aji had reached her car parked in the basement, she fell silent before driving forward. Was his attitude so outrageous to that woman?

“Hah, he deserves it!” the man muttered, then began to leave his apartment building.

Meanwhile, Asha tried to finish her food even though she was already reluctant to swallow it. Whatever happens, do not let the fetus in the stomach lack nutrients.

At ten o'clock in the morning Asha was ready, today she was going to the hospital for a routine checkup. Earlier this morning, she was eager to ask Aji to drive her, but seeing Aji's extremely cold gaze made her stop to say her point.

Asha sends Aji a message and asks for permission to leave today. The notification sounds very clear, but Aji ignores it because he is meeting an important person today.

Asha waits for a reply from Aji, there is also a hint of hope when where Aji will submit to deliver him to the hospital.

“What do you expect, Asha! Don't expect much. He's been too kind to let you stay here,” muttered Asha who felt stupid herself. However, he did not want to add to his heartbreak anymore. Asha could only pat her cheeks a little hard for her to wake up from a thing far from her great expectations.

The elevator took him downstairs, he immediately went to look for a taxi that would take him to the hospital.

Meanwhile at the office, Aji's guests have come home. Aji remembered if she heard a noise on her phone and immediately opened some of the messages that were there. Some of the messages are from her mother, Aji ignoring the message, but the name underneath makes her glance back at the phone she just saved back on her desk.

Aji simply looked at the message without even wanting to reply. ‘A stupid woman, hopefully she'll be safe until she gets to the hospital!’.

At the arrival of the airport door, a beautiful woman was walking pushing her suitcase. Her lips smiled happily, sunglasses perched on top of her head. She was happy because she would soon meet the person she had long missed.

“I'll come and give you a surprise, Aji!”
