PRASETYA left for the office in anger. He was tired of seeing his wife look like a housekeeper, plus his first child who hid the car keys to make it too late.
"Good morning, sir.." Sapa Una, his secretary, greeted with a smile.
Prasetya only nodded faintly and directly entered his room. Una followed the steps of his superiors, he entered Pras' room.
"Sorry, Sir. I'm waiting for Mr. Roni in his room." Tell Una.
"Yes." Yeah." Pras replied briefly and immediately got up from his seat.
Una stared at the departure of his superiors with a full view of the dream. Una has long liked his boss, but he is reluctant because his boss already has a wife and two children. Una walked out of Pras' room and sat back in his chair.
One of the officers approached Una. The employee named Hendri was quite familiar with Una.
"Pak Pras is there, Mba?" Ask Hendri.
"Pak Pras again came out, called the same Mr. Roni."
Hendri mangosteen.
"But today Mr. Prasanya again bete deh." Una.
"What's wrong, Mba?"
"Pak Pras was silent, also told the answer was only 'yes'. Really short. Like another man sprained."
"Maybe Mr. Pras has another problem, Mba."
"Eh, you've been to Mr. Pras' house. Is his wife pretty?" Ask Una curiously.
"Beautiful, but..." Hendri did not continue his words.
"But what?" Una was getting curious.
"She's never been groomed and her clothes are just plain."
Una smiled cunningly.
"What's the matter, Mba?"
Una instantly obliterated his smile. "No, nothing."
"Yes, I went back to the cubicle first. Come back here again." Pamit Hendri's.
Is it possible that Mr Pras is getting bored with his wife? Ah, this seems to be my chance to tempt Mr. Pras to turn away from his wife.
Una sat in her chair and opened her bag, took the powder and lipstick from inside the bag and put it on. Self-seeking in the powder mirror. "Udah is more fresh and seductive. Prepare yourself, Una." His monologue encouraged himself.
Before long Prasetya returned to his room, Una soon followed into the room of his superior. Una immediately stood in front of Prasetya's table.
"Mom want me to make you a drink? I see from the moment you come it looks like you are being bete, mingkin a cup of coffee can change the mood of the Father." Una offers.
"Can." Prasetya replied briefly.
"I'll make it, sir. Wait yes.."
Una turned around, he left Prasetya's room by stretching his legs so that his buttocks swayed to tease his superior.
After 15 minutes, Una returned to the room Prasetya with a cup of coffee. With a seductive smile he presented the coffee in front of Prasetya.
"Please, Sir. It's cold." His words were made as much as possible.
Prasetya had seen the movements and heard the voice of his secretary. Why her? "Thank you." Prasetya sipped his coffee.
"That's my creation, sir.."
Prasetya just nodded. Una was still standing in front of him with a seductive smile.
"ee.. Maybe Mr Pras needs something more?"
"No, thank you."
"I'm sorry, sir."
She left Prasetya's room.
At home
Ana is playing with both of her children. Actually she would cook, but her two children even invited her to play. Ana saw the sadness on the face of her eldest son, even though the 3-year-old toddler was playing.
Ana immediately holds Arzanka and kisses and hugs her. Ana knows what makes Arzanka like this, but she wants her son to tell her what he feels for her so that Arzanka knows if there is a mother who is ready to listen to all her complaints.
"What's up, brother? How come Mama looks so sad?" Ask Ana gently. "The same story as Mama."
"Why is Papa the same as me, Ma? I just want to play hide and seek with Papa. Does Papa not love me?"
The words that came out of her son's mouth made Ana's heart feel stupefied. How not? The 3-year-old was devastated to get a knock from his Papa. Maybe for a 3-year-old child both parents are superhero protectors, so when the clash came from one of them, destroyed already his defense because it no longer has a superhero anymore.
Ana cupped the tiny face with both hands. "Papa was just in a hurry to go to the office, later in the afternoon when he came home from the office, Papa would want to play again with Brother. So you don't have to be sad."
Ana hugged and kissed her son.
A week later
Prasetya's attitude is getting colder on Ana. Almost every night Prasetya came home late without giving any news. If Ana asks, Pras always answers being a lot of work in the office so must be overtime. Ana believed it too.
Ana must prepare various answers for the firstborn who began to be critical about the busyness of her Papa. Ana is not a stupid woman, she used to be an exemplary employee in the office. But after marriage and pregnancy, Pras asked Ana to focus on family.
By noon Ana's mother-in-law, Ms. Lili, visited the house. He wants to meet his grandchildren. Arzanka ran straight to Omanya.
"Mom..." Arzanka ran towards Bu Lili.
"Oma's grandson is getting more handsome." Ms. Lili crouched down hugging Arzanka and kissed the toddler's cheek.
Arzanka and Arzetta play with Oma Lili, while Ana is in the kitchen cooking. After cooking, Ana invites her mother-in-law to have lunch at her house.
"We'll have lunch first yuk, Ma." Take Ana to the in-laws.
Lili took Arzetta and led Arzanka to the dining room. Ana has served rice along with various side dishes for lunch.
After lunch, Arzanka and Arzetta take a nap. Ana and Lili sat on the sofa in front of the television.
"What time do you get home, An?" Ask Lili.
"Lately Mas Pras has always come home at night, Ma. There's more work in the office, he said." Answer Ana.
"For a lot of work in the office, is he really even looking at you, An?"
Ana quiet. Her mother-in-law's words pierced her heart, but she remained silent. He did not want to return the words of the in-laws because he respected his in-laws so much. Lili stand.
"Mama go home. Mom is tired of you too! You can't take care of yourself, An. Look Mama! Mama who is old is still taking care of herself to keep looking beautiful in front of your Father-in-law. Ye? You're like ART, An!" Lili got up from her seat.
Ana takes her mother-in-law to the porch. "Be careful on the road, Ma. Greetings to Papa." Ana kissed the back of her mother-in-law's hand.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.." Said Mrs Lili.
"Wa'alaikumsalam.." Reply Ana.
Ana walked into her room and reflected in front of the vanity mirror. Am I a rich maid? If so, why would Mas Pras and Mama say that to me?
