Father's Status On My Son's Deed
17. Home together

“Aji already gone?” asked Naura who was suddenly behind Asha made the woman surprised.

“Iya, just now,” said Asha.

“Yeah, what a pity. Though today I want him to take me somewhere.” Naura suddenly just patted her forehead quite hard. “Ah, I forgot that he's married. I have to ask permission first, right if I want to meet him? Hehe,” said Naura laughing shyly.

The three women sat together to spend time together that day.

“Oh yes, Aunt. When are we going on vacation like we used to? Take Asha to the villa. We can have fun again there,” said Naura who made Asha's heart hotter. How lucky this woman is to be able to take the heart of everyone in this house. Unlike her who can't even melt Aji's heart.

“Yes, we can go, but Auntie also has to ask Om about this. Aji's schedule also seems solid considering he rarely comes here,” said Tia. Naura nodded her head.

“Iya, I understand. I just miss our time together. If time does not pass quickly, surely I am the same Aji still like before,” said Naura. Tia chuckled and agreed with the words of this friend of her son.

Asha was bored even though she was between the two women, because the discussion they discussed was only the past of Aji and Naura.

“You're so close to Aji?” asha asked as Tia was receiving a call from one of her friends.

“Iya, very close. As you know, Aji and I have been close friends since childhood. We're always together everywhere, to the point that Auntie and Om already think of me as their daughter. We were inseparable, yes at least before I went abroad. If I hadn't gone, we might be closer. Hehe,” said Naura casually.

Asha caught the strange tone spoken by the woman as if Naura was marking Aji for her.

“But dear yes, only limited to friends,” Asha said with a thin smile. Asha could not bear it, she was fed up of being there so she decided to just leave the room. While Naura looked at the upset pregnant woman.

“Asha, where are you going?” tia asked who had just come into the room again.

“Ah, I'm going to the room, Ma. A little dizzy,” said Asha reasoned.

“Oh, yes. You just take a break, son. Do you need anything?” ask Tia again. Asha shook her head.

“No, I want to rest is enough. I stay first yes, Ma.”

Tia nodded her head then looked at her daughter-in-law who was currently continuing her footsteps heading upstairs.

“Pregnants are heavy huh? I feel sorry for Asha, but also envy,” Naura said as Tia sat down next to her.

“Haha, later you will also feel for yourself. Pregnant is heavy, but very fun,” said the woman.

“Ah, how can I get pregnant if the prospective husband does not exist. I used to ngarep Aji who would be my husband, but Aji has been with everyone else first,” Naura said while chuckling, even with Tia who considers the speech from Naura is a joke.

Asha's chest was tight, she touched it to calm down, but the more Naura said it made her sick.

Soon Asha went to pick up her phone, she looked for Aji's number to ask him to pick her up, or she would go home first, but soon he paused considering that the man's face would definitely be sour. Remember what he said a few days ago to be good in the eyes of his family. Finally, Asha decided to lie down.

“I'll be home this afternoon. We can meet again sometime, right?” naura asked to release the hug from the man, even courageously kissing the husband in front of her.

That grim face was very clearly visible in Aji's eyes, a smile appeared on his lips that was almost invisible to Asha's eyes full of anger.

“Yes, of course we can meet. When and where, you can just call me,” said Aji with a smile, the thinner Aji's smile saw Asha's reddened face.

“Why don't you just take Naura home, Ji? Kan Naura's house is also not too far from here,” chirps Tia who suddenly just behind Asha.

“Eh, no need, Aunt. Aji and Asha will be disturbed. I'll call the driver or call a taxi,” Naura said quickly while shaking her hand.

“It's okay. But Asha won't mind either, will she?” ask Aji. Asha flinched and inevitably nodded her head.

“Yes, it's okay. We will deliver.”

Asha walked behind her husband who was carrying Naura's suitcase and kept it in the trunk.

“Include,” said Aji opened the rear car door for Naura.

This made Asha jealous. Even Aji never did that to her.

“Thank you, Ji.” Naura got into the car and smiled looking at the wry face of Asha who was still staring at her, as if throwing a hostile look at her.

“You too, log in.” Aji opened the door for his wife.

Not out of obligation, but just a cover to cover up their charade.

“Be careful on the road!” Tia waved her hand from the porch of the house. Asha nodded her head, while Naura returned the middle-aged woman's hand wave while exclaiming.

Asha just stayed in the car, she chose to turn her gaze to the side and heed her ears. The discussion spoken by the two people was real making Asha's heart feel pinched. Aji never smiled at him, even speaking in a tone that was not usual, always just ketus towards him. However, for Naura, the man turned into a warm and pleasant figure.

“Thank you, Aji, Asha. You guys wanna stop by first? It is possible that Mama and Papa have arrived,” asked Naura when they reached the Naura family residence.

“Lain times we just came in. I still have work to do at home.”

“Oh, so yes.” Naura looked disappointed. “Ya. Be careful on the road. Don't speed,” Naura said as she waved her hand.

Aji nodded and immediately drove his car on the crowded streets.

The atmosphere in the car was very stiff, cold, different from when Naura was with them. Asha glanced at her husband with the tip of her eye, hoping that the man spoke to her to expel the void that existed between them. However, until they arrive at Aji's apartment does not open his mouth.
