First Woman President
Episode 159's
"Mother!", Sarah caught her mother's hand stroking her hair gently. Then he held her mother's hand.
"What's the matter?", Mother Asih's face was full of interest but she tried to remain calm and soft-spoken.
"I want to get out of here, Mom!", Sarah's words made Mother's eyes widen perfectly.
"Sister! What is big brother talking about?!", suddenly Sandi appeared there.
"But Sandi,,,," Sarah bit her lower lip hard while hiding what she was feeling right now.
"Don't run away like you used to, brother! Face this problem strongly. There's me and Mom here accompanying sister", Sandi crouched down in front of her brother while rubbing Sarah's arm gently channeling positive energy for her brother to be more firm.
"Right is what Sandi said Sarah. You have to face it! I will always support you, but not by leaving here", Asih said softly but firmly in the end. Emphasizing Sarah that she should not run away from reality as before. The eldest daughter must be a strong woman.
"I'm old, Sarah. Mother's illness is like this. Who else will take care of mom besides you and Sandi. So if Sandi goes to work, at least Mother still has a daughter Mother here", Asih's mother looks at her daughter as well as alternating towards her son.

Sarah's heart was whipped. How could he be so selfish like this, to forget his mother's chronic heart disease. His mother certainly needs him to always be loyal next to her. Although there is still Sandi there, but her mother certainly needs more attention than her who is a daughter.
But once he remembered how his heart had been ripped apart upon hearing the crazy man's words, a little swayed his current decision. Sarah has not told in detail from the beginning to the end about the problems she is facing. So at this time, he is indeed required to make decisions as fair as possible for himself and his family.
"Hah!", Sarah took a deep breath after that exhaled her all at once quickly.
"All right! Sarah will stay here. But Sarah can go on vacation tomorrow. Sarah wants fresh air to clear her mind, Mom", Sarah asks her mother. Applying for permission to the parents is the main thing for him.
Both Ibu Asih and Sandi, both of them throw views at each other. Their faces look reluctant, but the look on Sarah's face was so expecting.
"Pliiisss!", Sarah put on her cute face.
"All right! I will come, I will accompany big brother! It is not good for girls to go for a walk alone", Sandi let out a voice with her wise face as if her speech was the most correct decision.
"No!", fast asih Mom.
His two children looked at Mother Asih with great confusion on their heads. What else did his mother think?
"Nobody can leave!,,,, Unless you're with you!", Asih's mother flaunted her row of white teeth so happily. Only children need entertainment, but parents need it too.
"Geez, Mother! I thought what?!", a smile escaped Sarah's lips. Asih and Sandi looked at him so happily. Eventually the woman could forget her problem a little.
"But Sandi, what about your job? You just got to work, don't you?", Sarah just remembered about this. Do not let because of him, his sister became unemployed again.
"Don't worry, brother! My current status is still a part-time worker. My work schedule is once every two days, brother. So tomorrow I have a holiday, and we'll be on vacation of course!", jubilant Sandi cheers. Likewise with Mother Asih and Sarah who dissolved in their joy this time.

Sarah is done cleaning. Now he has changed to a loose t-shirt with a picture of a brown bear in the middle and also a half-thigh shorts, his favorite suit to sleep in every night. Her hair is not so long already she buns origin to the top.
His hand scrolled his phone screen repeatedly with a sense of unease. He was overwhelmed with feelings of worry where he had to tell this to Ana or not. For this matter, he had chosen not to leave his mother alone. But on the other hand, he still did not want to meet that crazy man anymore. His heart that still remembered the pain that had come over.
His hand was already moving writing on the text board, had hesitated he deleted the message back. But then he typed again with a sentence that really fits him. Eventually, a message is sent to a contact named "Ana".
***
It's almost late at night. The raindrops had already started to stop leaving a cold piercing into the bone. But for these newlyweds every night they still feel warm, because they hug each other.
After dinner, Ken decided to go back to his reading room to check out some work. Not so long, then he returned to the room and found his wife was still awake with a cell phone in her hand. Ana's eyes widened for a moment when playing her phone, but fortunately Ken did not pay attention to it. After her business was finished with her cellphone, Ana hurriedly invited her husband to go to bed immediately under the pretext of being very tired and wanting to be hugged. Of course Ken did not mind the spoiled attitude of his wife, in fact he liked it very much because Ana's face looks more adorable to the man.
Ana had not closed her eyes since in her husband's arms. He tried to keep his eyes open because he already had an appointment with someone to exchange news. Slowly, Ana tried to reach for her phone which was on the nightstand next to her head. He saw that the clock had indicated the appointed time, it was eleven o'clock at night now.
Ana checked her husband's level of consciousness. He slightly shook the man's body, but there was no movement. Then he tried to call out the name of the same man did not get an answer, only an unclear whimper came out of his mouth. She put her ear to her husband's chest, and sure enough her breathing was in order there. Then very carefully Ana put away Ken's hand that was coiled around her waist. Ana stood up while holding her phone.
"I'm sorry, honey! I have an important mission this time. And you can't know!", whispered Ana after landing a kiss on her husband's forehead.
The situation was safe now, then he rushed to the bathroom to carry out the next mission. For a moment he opened the message he had read.
*Sarah:
Ana, I need to talk to you right now. It's critical. But can your husband not know. Because it's related to Sam, his sister. I need to talk to you tonight also*.
Anne:
What was? You just make me curious. All right, eleven o'clock I'll call you. Waitme! I'll finish my job here first
*Sarah:
All right, I'm waiting*
In the reply to the message, Sarah read it with an amused expression. Sarah's mind has been hovering somewhere. Thinking of the hot scenes Ana would do with her husband, which Sarah thought was the task Ana intended. Though the real task at this time is to make Ken quickly fall asleep for Ana. And it was so easy because the scene Sarah had imagined, had already happened hours before. So Ana thought, right now her husband was in desperate need of rest. So he left Ken in a deep sleep.
"Hello Sarah!", greet Ana after her phone is connected. His voice made as slow as possible.
"Yes, Ana! How, is it safe?", asked Sarah a little worried.
"Safe! Just chill! Ken's had a good dream, and I'm in the bathroom right now. Quickly tell me what's up! Why are you making people curious!", Ana still whispered there.
"I'm confused where to start, it might take a century" Sarah chuckles across the channel.
"Just explain, hurry!", said Ana impatiently.
"So here! Please don't tell Sam about where I am, Ana. I'm so begging you", Sarah asked seriously.
"Hey, what's the matter?! I thought you guys would be fine and even move on to the next stage after sacrificing her life", Ana had raised her intonation in shock at Sarah's sudden request. But then he rearranged his voice to keep whispering.
"But why? What was? I still don't understand, Sarah!", Ana still wants to ask for another explanation. He was sure there were other important things Sarah had not said.
"I went to the hospital to see him. Then, I heard that from the beginning he was just playing around with me, Ana. The crazy man never had sincerity, Ana", Sarah exclaimed emotionally.
"How is it possible, Sarah! You must have misunderstood! Sam had asked me several times for help to get closer to him", Ana tried to explain the matter calmly.
"*But I heard it from her mouth straight away, Ana", Sarah's tone began to rise.
"Huh!", it seemed like he was neutralizing his emotions at the moment.
"Alright, Ana. I believe more in what I hear and see. The conditions are complicated at the moment. And I don't want to hope for him. So please respect my decision!", Sarah said as calmly as possible even though her heart rumbled when remembering how she felt at this moment*.
"All right! All righty! Whatever your decision I will always support you. But remember, you still owe me an explanation!", Ana relented. They shouldn't argue. As a friend, Ana's job is to support whatever path her best friend will choose.
"Tomorrow I'll go with Mom and Sandi. If they ask you, just say you don't know. Okay!", Sarah ordered in a pleading tone.
"All right! I see!", Ana reflexively nodded even though Sarah did not see it.
"Thank you, Ana! I love you so much!", said Sarah sincerely.
"I love you too, Sarah! You are like family to me!", Ana replied no less sincerely.
"All right, I'm closing now! I'm afraid your husband will wake up and we'll be found out. In a few days I'll see you. I'll tell you again. Bye!", Sarah hung up the phone first.
Ana immediately kept her phone away from her ear. I don't know what really happened, Ana's not sure. But he was very sure that this was just a mere misunderstanding. But there seems to be something that is stored very deep from Sarah and it feels pressing heart and feelings. All right, Ana will wait for Sarah to explain everything before she chooses what course of action to help her best friend solve her problem.
After sighing repeatedly to neutralize her nervousness about going back to bed, the woman finally began to step towards the bathroom door. He pressed the doorknob and pulled it back. And,,,
"Aaakkhh!!!", Ana shouted loudly in surprise. Even his body was aghast backwards and almost fell if Ken had not caught and held him as he is today.
Just now, when Ana opened the door, Ken was already standing in the bathroom doorway leaning back and folding his hands in front of his chest. His eyes exuded a powerful interrogation aura. It was just not as sharp as he usually showed the others. There are still affectionate looks there.
"Surprised?", asked Ken coldly.
Ana folded her mouth deeply. Looking at her man's face while being scared. Because his tongue was too mute to take a word out of his mouth. Only a very heavy nod of his head could he do.
"Why surprised?", asked the man again still while clutching his wife's body tightly.
"A, me, I've had a bowel movement! Yeah, poop! Suddenly my stomach hurt, so I got up to poop. Maybe it was because I ate too much earlier" Ana explained quickly while hiding her strong nervousness.
"Is that so, dear?", asked Ken while letting out his evil smile.
"Of course it's true, honey!", Ana no longer knows what to do so she deliberately acts spoiled while she pokes her hands around her husband's neck.
"All right! I believe!", Ken gave a brief kiss on his wife's lips and smiled.
"Then let's go back to sleep, baby!", take Ana with him while pulling her husband's arm spoiled.
"Alright!", Ken followed Ana's steps with a smile. But his smile was gone as he turned towards the nightstand in the corner near the bathroom door. There's Ana's cell phone lying there.
"You're not good at lying, baby!", said Ken.
Then they fell asleep again hugging each other. Ana's eyes began to close but her husband's eyes were still looking forward.
# FLASHBACKS ON
As Ana begins to raise Ken's hand and get rid of him, the man actually begins to wake up from his sleep. But he chose to remain silent and follow his wife's play. As Ana shook her body, as Ana called out her name, she kept trying to maintain her slumbering expression. Until Ana had closed the bathroom door, Ken got out of bed and followed her there. Ken put his sense of hearing towards the door leaf.
He almost growled furiously if the man who was talking to his wife was a man. But his heart immediately felt relieved because it turned out to be Sarah, his best friend. After stealing the conversation, Ken understood the anxiety that had plagued his wife since last night at dinner. And about his sister, Sam. Ken's gonna try to figure it out tomorrow when they see him. As serious as this matter is, maybe he can't help much. Because after all what determines everything are those two people.
Then when Ana opened the door, the woman was actually just exaggerating her shocked acting in order to put her phone on the nightstand in the corner near the bathroom door. And Ken saw that.
And because he already knew everything, so he did not mind other things. Because Ana was not off the mark from what she had expected. It's just a secret between women, he thought. So Ken did not want to take a headache and chose to sleep again, returning to dreamland with his beloved wife.
