Finally Alan took the phone from Anna's hand and frowned when he saw the caller's ID.
“Who?” whispered Anna.
Alan was silent, just staring at Anna riled up. He got up and walked towards the balcony while answering the phone.
Anna got up to sit up, staring strangely at Alan who had to stay away from her while answering the phone. Who is calling? Alan didn't even want to tell who the caller was.
Anna got down the bed, walked over to the balcony door. His steps came to a halt behind the door when he heard Alan mention Cintya by name.
“Cintya, plis. Scold me, don't be angry. I promise after returning from Bali I will see you straight away. I'll give you whatever you want. Okay, okay. Everything you asked me to do, then what else? Yes, I understand. How did you know Anna was pregnant? Ii'm sorry. Excuse me. Don't look for trouble, Cintya. Don't reck. Hello hello…. Ah..” Alan looked at his phone, then called back to his number but was not answered. Alan looked frustrated. “Oh, jeez.” Alan turned around and was shocked to see Anna already in front of him.
“You're here?”
“Ya,” Og Anna. “Cintya called you? How long have you been in an affair with her? Was she angry when she heard that I was pregnant? She must have felt betrayed.”
Alan was silent.
“I want you to end a relationship with him, Mas Alan. The sooner the better. Do you know what it's like every time I hear you say that girl's name? I'm ill. That's because I love you.” Anna's eyes are glazed.
Alan grabbed Anna's head and buried it into her embrace.
Anna could no longer speak. Alan's weapon was always this way, giving him a warm embrace in every bit of his frustration. And Anna is often paralyzed whenever she gets that warm hug.
“We go home to Jakarta.” Alan got up.
“To meet Cintya? You'll ease his frustration? Or to decide?”
“Decide it.”
“Really? For me?”
Alan pecks Anna's head.

Alan answered a call from William.
“Yes, Pa? I'm on my way home. Wh why? Alright.” Alan put the phone back in his shirt pocket.
“What's up, Mas Alan?” ask Anna.
“Papa told me to come to his house after driving you home.”
“Kasian Andra if you have to go back and forth nganter you to the house of Papa William after nganterin I came home, mendingan we just continue to the house of Papa now.”
“I'll drive myself, without taking Andra. Andra is a special driver for you, not for me.”
“But you're tired, where you might drive yourself. We're going to run into Papa William's house.”
“You must rest, Anna.”
“I can rest at Papa's house, our room is still there, right?”
Alan smiled, a sweet smile that made Anna always miss him. “Alright if that's what you want. Ndra, stop at Papa's house, yes!”
“Siap, Mas.” Andra obedient.
The car turns into the yard area of William's house. Anna and Alan went down, entered the house.
“Tasku miss.” Anna stopped walking.
“Let me pick up.”
“Neventless. I'm the one who took it. You go in first.” Anna rushed to the car.
Alan walked in. He found William standing back and forth in the living room with a restless face. His pacing stopped when he saw Alan's arrival, it seemed like he was impatiently waiting for Alan's arrival.
