The morning sun now began to peek from the eastern horizon, and seemed timid. Arka squirmed and started to open her eyes slowly.
"Why can I sleep here?" batin Arka while sitting and trying to remember the incident last night.
The man was seen massaging his back. Then, he tried to do a little body stretching because he felt his body ache.
"Really, this is what it's like to sleep on the couch. My body is getting all sick. But, why does that woman feel no pain at all?" batin Arka while standing. However, he suddenly felt his head hurt a lot, and his gaze was also a little blurry, until he decided to sit back down.
"Why did my head suddenly hurt?" his mind is massaging his head. Suddenly, the man felt something strange sensation happening in his stomach. He felt his stomach stir, and wanted to vomit. Arka without thinking for a long time immediately ran towards the bathroom, to spill what was urgent to come out of that mouth. However, nothing came out of the man's mouth, it was just that the urge to vomit was growing.
"Yes, I'm sorry, it seems like I catch a cold, because I haven't had a blanket all night" the man whispered to himself, washing his mouth.
Arka had just felt a little relieved, and was about to get out of the bathroom. However, not yet reached the door, the man's stomach again felt nauseous and this time more powerful than the first one. The man was not even strong and sat under the sink.
In another place, Ruby looked crying while filling her stomach with a packet of rice sat that she had just bought. The woman was really hungry, but while staring at the rice, she suddenly wanted to get close to Arka. Maybe it was due to her pregnancy.
"Yes, God strengthen me!" He cried out to God while looking up.
Then, the woman stroked her stomach. "That's fine, sweetheart in there. Please help the three of you understand the current state of mama. I know, if you want to be close to your Papa, but I'm sorry, you can't grant your request" Ruby said, wiping away her tears.
Ruby's words, truly efficacious, proved from the calmness of the woman's heart and again eager to eat her food.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Why is your face so pale, Arka? are you sick?" asked Rosa while touching her son's forehead.
"Not hot, Kok," the middle-aged woman muttered with furrowed brows.
"I don't know, Ma. All of a sudden this morning I felt like my stomach was stirring and wanting to vomit, but strangely enough, I didn't spit anything out, which was just the sour taste I felt," arka clearly sitting on the chair.
"Oh, maybe you catch a cold. Later you try to apply wind oil to your stomach," said Rosa gave advice. Meanwhile, Adijaya and Adelia look unconcerned at what Arka feels. The two people, still focus on eating breakfast on their plates.
Suddenly Arka's stomach again churned, when smelling the aroma of fried rice in front of him.
"Arka, what's wrong with you, son?" Rosa started to look panicked.
"I really don't know, Ma. I feel nauseous smelling the aroma of fried rice" said Arka as she covered her nose.
"Couldn't you? isn't that your favorite food? even the fried rice has been made very special, using shrimp, sausage and squid, but why did you suddenly not like it?" the corner of Rosa's eyes rose upwards, looking at Arka with a probing look.
"I really don't know, Ma. What is clear is that please remove the food from my presence" said Arka with a face that was getting pale.
"It looks like you're really sick. You should not go to the office today. You just rest at home," Rosa said in a very worried tone.
"No way, Ma. I have to stay in the office, because today I had a meeting with a very important person, the owner of a large company from abroad. I can't afford to waste this opportunity. Even the Pandu company also submitted a cooperation proposal," Arka refused firmly.
"I'm done, I'll go first!" suddenly Adijaya opened her voice and stood up from her seat, about to leave, as if what her son was talking about was not very important. In fact, usually the middle-aged man, is very enthusiastic to talk about a business and often give advice.
"Pa, your fried rice is still a lot left over," Rosa tried to prevent her husband from leaving.
"I lost my appetite to eat. You just spend it," concluded Adijaya as he passed away.
"I'm done too!" Adelia opened her voice and stood up from her seat.
"Adel, finish your food!" tell Rosa, with a very sharp look.
"I'm the same as, Papa, Ma. Not tasteful at all. Maybe because it's not Ruby's cooking. My tongue is used to Ruby's cooking. I'll go first!" concluded Adelia, as it passed away, did not touch at all the cry of Rosa who called her.
Meanwhile, Arka could only sigh quite heavily, seeing the departure of the father and his younger sister. The man understood enough that the two men were very disappointed with the decision he made to divorce Ruby.
