Dinda stopped her car in front of the school gate. His feet immediately came out of the car approaching Syena who was waiting at the security post. The look on his face still held anger and annoyance.
"Mama!" shouts Syena who ran towards Dinda.
"Mama, why don't you pick me up?"
"Papa can't baby, papa's busy. Sorry Mama's late, baby." Dinda said as she hugged Syena. Dinda also said thank you to the school that has been looking after her daughter.
"That's Papa Ma!" shouts Syena, who saw Willy's car coming. Dinda just glanced at him.
"Papa." Willy immediately ran towards Syena and hugged her. "I'm sorry, dear. Because it's too late."
"It's okay, Pa. My mom also picked me up. Ma, Pa, take a walk first yuk." For Syena this is a rare moment. Because both of her parents picked her up at the same time.
"No, baby we have to go home soon." Refuse Dinda subtly. Not with Willy, who was hopeful.
Dinda immediately pulled Syena's hand, as did Willy, who pulled his hand. As if asking for time to explain, but the resentment in his heart could not give that time.
In that instant his hand was immediately thrown. Without saying goodbye, Dinda took Syena into her car.
Willy was silent. Realizing his mistake. But Willy did not know what to do to persuade his wife. Because the first time they had a fight.
Dinda kept driving the car with her blank look. But Dinda still concentrated on driving.
"Papa fight huh?" syena's words made her gaze diverted to the little girl sitting next to her. For a second his head shook, and his lips smiled.
"No dear. Papa's doing a lot of work that's why Mama's taking you home so quickly."
"But Papa's hand was taken away by Ma."
Dinda stunned. Didn't expect Syena to notice her attitude earlier. Syena is beginning to understand.
"Mama is ashamed dear, seen by many people," said Dinda who gave an excuse.
"It's okay Ma. That's Papa's sign, baby." Dinda only smiled one hand gently rubbing Syena's head.
Upon arrival at the house Dinda directly put his car into the garage. His feet moved down along with both hands opening the door.
After that Dinda walked around the car towards the direction Syena was. Then lowered.
"Bus!" call Dinda. Not long after a woman dressed modestly came to him.
"Non Syena is home. Who picked up Mom?"
"I." Dinda shut the car door. "Bring Syena to the room, Bik, please take a shower with lunch as well."
"Non Good." The woman led Syena away. Dinda still leaned on the body of her car. One hand was placed on his forehead letting his fingers massage his throbbing forehead.
"I'm so dizzy, aren't I?" his monologue. Dinda's face was currently so pale perhaps due to too much stress and thought.
The sound of the car was heard. Made Dinda look over for a moment. The sight of Willy who got off the car made Dinda go straight into his house.
Willy who saw that just threw his breath away heavily. Persuading a woman was the most difficult thing for him.
*****
The day has changed at night. But Dinda's attitude has not changed. Still cold to him.
Inside Dinda's room was just busy with her own work. Folding clothes, tidying up the books on the table. Even the work that was not important at all he did.
"She!" call Willy who has no answer.
"She!" willy snarled who was annoyed at being ignored. Dinda fell silent and turned to her husband who was sitting on the bed.
"You yelled at me, man." Dinda's gaze was very sharp. Willy got up from his seat and walked up to him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you."
"Don't touch me." Dinda again threw Willy's grip on his hand.
"Dinda we need to talk I don't want you to continue like this."
"Speak what? Don't we talk every day?"
"So her name is Jessi. Must be yeah, I know her name."
All wrong. That's what Willy is thinking right now. Bodo time with the word Dinda. All he had to do right now was clear up his misunderstanding.
A man has to be extra patient to deal with the anger of a woman who is jealous.
"It's up to you to tell me what, baby. What you saw this morning is not true. I only helped him when he was about to fall."
"Why don't you just let him fall." Said Dinda with a cold look.
"The name is also reflex dear."
"OKAY. Reflex. Because it's too reflex you didn't answer my phone and forgot to pick up Syena. All your excuses don't make sense." Rey, widened his eyes as his hand was flung away by Dinda.
Dinda stepped out of her room.
Huh, exhale the rough Willy let out along with scooping his rough face. Willy was dizzy to explain what else he could only mess with his hair.

Dining Table
Dinda continued to serve Syena, pour her rice, give her side dishes, and also drink it. Every night before the meal Dinda did to her daughter and husband. But not this time.
All she served was Syena and herself.
"Mama papa's plate is still empty" Syena said. Dinda just glanced at Willy's plate which was still empty. A second his gaze turned to Willy who was smiling at him. I hope Dinda serves him too.
But what Dinda said was not up to her expectations. With a cold look, Dinda said, "You can be alone. This side dish, rice, and vegetables just take it all on the table. Don't spoil you're not Syena." He said as he opened his eyes.
Willy just blicked his lips. Being hostile to his wife tormented him so much.
*****
Willy went into his room to see Dinda, who was already curled up in her bed.
It was late, it was time to go to sleep. Willy walked over to the bed. Turn off the room lights that are replaced with sleep lights. Raised both feet to lie on the mattress, the blanket began to pull that immediately spread his body.
Sleep is the most comfortable rest. After a long and exhausting activity. His body curled up to his right side, facing Dinda who had fallen asleep behind him.
His hands began to move to hug the wife's body. Suddenly, though …
"Don't hug Mas, sultry."
Her eyes were perfectly rounded. Without a sense of sin Dinda's hand brushed off her hand that was about to circle on her stomach.
That instant also his body instantly woke up. Until when will Dinda behave like this to him.
Usually Dinda would not sleep if not hugged by him. But for tonight Dinda refused his warm embrace.
"I don't understand what Dinda should explain. I never betrayed you. You're the only woman I love."
After saying that Willy immediately got out of bed. His feet stepped out of the room.
Without Willy knowing, that Dinda is not asleep at all. His eyes are still wide open. A thread of tears dripped out from the corner of his eye.
Does Dinda want this? No, I don't want to do it at all. But somehow her heart refused her husband's warm touch. Dinda closed her eyes.
*****
"Papa." Syena woke up as her bed swayed. He saw the face of the father curled up beside him.
"Why sleep here?"
"Other dad wants to sleep with papa's daughter. Already, let's go to sleep again it's night." His eyes closed again as his father's hand hugged him.
Forced for tonight Willy can only hug Syena, instead.

A patient Yes Willy 🤣🤣.
