Velicia woke up from her sleep. He felt his throat very dry. Get him up from his bed and walk out of his room to the kitchen.
Empty, quiet and very quiet the current state of his home. He even felt lonely in his solitude.
He saw a clock hanging on the wall of the dining room while his hand held a glass that was filled with hot water from the dispenser.
"Itawww…!!!"
Prangs!
Velicia was exposed to the overflowing hot water from the glass that came from the still-lit dispenser water. Just contact the glass was released from Velicia's hand because her hand felt hot exposed to the hot water.
Immediately shut down the dispenser. And with a weak step Velicia took the tools to clean the glass fragments.
After the glass was cleaned, he wrapped it in a plastic bag and threw it in the trash.
Equipment to mop the floor. With a breath of breath, because he felt very tired he did not see any traces of water spill that was shed earlier.
Bruuk!
Veliica fell on the floor of the water spill.
Velicia sighed, after which she laughed as she said,
"Your fate is very unfortunate Ve. When you are sick you can experience something like this. And the saddest thing is your husband isn't with you right now."
It was ridiculous to be felt by Velicia at this moment. He laughed at his fate like a fool laughing at his own.
"I'm sick to all my bodies. But it is not worth my heartache" he said, smiling bitterly with his hand still holding the mop.
Ferdi still hasn't come home. He's somewhere now.
"Thank you Sir. My father always helped me. I don't know what happened if you weren't there," said Lani with a sad face.
"Don't exaggerate too much. I just happened to pass there" Ferdi said, focusing on the steering wheel and the road in front of him.
"I don't think so. The father was destined to always help and take care of me" said Lani with great confidence.
"Don't overdo it. I only help you as a human being who must help each other" Ferdi said wisely.
Just touch Lani's lips pursed hearing the answer from Ferdi. Then he shifted his conversation to other things so that he was not disappointed to hear it.
"This is Dad's car?" lani asked as she approached Ferdi.
"Yes," replied Ferdi briefly.
"New car sir?" lani asked back while looking at Ferdi's face at close range from the side.
"Yes. Poor wife must be tired every day walking to work. If you have a car, I can drive it," replied Ferdi without looking at Lani who was still close beside him.
Hearing the word wife come out of Ferdi's mouth, making Lani again feel annoyed.
"It's lucky that Mr. Ferdi's wife got a husband like Father. If only I had a husband like you, I would be very happy and feel like a very lucky woman in the world" Lani said in a sad tone.
Ferdi smiled at Lani's words. In fact, what was said by Lani did not feel at this time. Even her relationship with Velicia was not fine.
Remembering about Velicia, he remembered that his wife did not like the presence of Lani near him.
"Other times don't go out alone at night like this if you don't want to be bothered by people like that," Ferdi said while focusing on driving.
"Who did you go through with, sir? Do you want to take me?" asked Lani while stopping her movement who was looking for something in her bag.
"Yes your boyfriend," Ferdi replied briefly without turning to Lani.
"I am single Sir. Still looking for men who are like Father," said Lani firmly.
Ferdi only smiled while shaking his head. After a while, Ferdi briefly glanced at Lani as there was no sound at all from her.
It turned out that Lani was polishing her lips using the lipstick she was looking for from her bag.
"You love wearing makeup. It's worth the guy teasing you. This night should not have to wear makeup. Especially very excessive like that," said Ferdi while focusing on driving.
Lani stopped her movement. She covered her lipstick and placed the lipstick and the small mirror she was wearing on her lap.
"Don't my wife like to wear makeup?" lani asked while looking at Ferdi.
"She's a simple and beautiful woman as she is. Even if wearing makeup is just thin and natural makeup," Ferdi replied proudly talking about his wife with a smile.
Lani looks upset at Ferdi who looks happy talking about his wife. But he did not deny that Velicia was indeed a simple beautiful woman without using a lot of polish.
"That means you take your wife every day?" ask Lani to investigate.
Ferdi shook his head and his eyes were still focused on the street in front of him. Then he said,
"She is an independent woman. I never even did anything at home. He's all working on it."
Why is he so perfect? Even I'm not that independent. It is fitting that Mr. Ferdi is so proud of him, Lani said in her heart as she glanced at Ferdi.
"This is your house?" ask Ferdi while stopping the car.
Ferdi's car stopped in front of a building that read 'Women's Costs' in front of the fence.
"Sir, not home" replied Lani as if correcting Ferdi's remarks.
"Yes the same. Come on down quickly. My wife has been waiting since," said Ferdi as if to throw Lani out of his car.
Lani frowned while getting off Ferdi's car. Because of that, he did not pay attention to all his things.
After taking Lani down, Ferdi immediately drove his car to his house.
"Hopefully the porridge stall is still open" said Ferdi as he drove his car.
Arriving in front of the porridge stall he had to swallow disappointment because the porridge stall was closed.
Ferdi looked towards the circular watch on his right hand. Then he sighed because the clock hand showed ten hours and six minutes.
"It should be closed. Why did I have to meet with Lani and drive her home first? I should've bought Velicia some porridge before I drove Lani home. Ah... stupid me," Ferdi monologues regret his stupidity.
While at her house, Velicia was still trying to clean up the mess caused by her carelessness.
Velicia sat on the dining chair with a glass of warm tea that panned her solitude. He saw a wall clock hanging on a wall not far from where it was.
"It's ten o'clock past twenty minutes. Where did Mas Ferdi go? Did he drive Mom? But why so long?" velicia said in her solitude.
