Seek Attention

"Amanda."

"Hmm?"

"Previously, what time was the thesis?"

Arka who was eating her dinner, asked Amanda who was also eating in front of her.

"Not how, it's ordinary."

Amanda sipped water in a glass, then held the spoon and fork again. His eyes were now on Arka.

"Why?" ask Amanda later.

Arka shook her head.

"I'm..."

The young man sighed.

"Fear, are you?" ask Amanda.

Arka smiled.

"No koq, just nervous" said Arka.

Amanda smiled back.

"Udah just relax, not sererem it koq. You big tall, sixpack like gini. The time of fear of the thesis trial."

Arka is laughing.

"And I'm human, can you dong I'm a little nervous. Time can't?"

"That's okay, but don't think too much either. Mending you read, the parts of the chapter I worked on. Let you understand, and do not look at the thesis you use a jockey."

"Haha." Arka laughed again, and they continued eating. Nothing so serious, until then.

"Hmm." Amanda suddenly felt like she was vomiting

"Man?"

"Hmm." The woman's eyes turned red, as it held something in her throat.

"Why you?" ask Arka.

Amanda then ran to the bathroom and, uh,

"Heek."

"Heek."

The woman vomited, Arka stopped eating and followed her. Looks like Amanda's still crouching in the closet.

"Heek."

"Heek."

"Amanda, are you pregnant again?" asked Arka while watching his wife. Amanda took a breath, and then tried to smile.

"No, amit-amit don't first." he said later.

Arka who was worried about the condition of the woman, now slightly subsided. Because he saw Amanda who smiled and relaxed just faced the situation, so he also laughed. But the laughter did not last long, suddenly.

"Heek."

"Heek."

Amanda vomited again, Arka's anxiety returned to its original position. He now rubbed his wife's back, until Amanda vomited quite a lot.

"Ka, dizzy Ka. It's dark." said Amanda when she pressed a flush on the toilet. Arka then helped the woman stand up and swept her into the room.

Somewhere.

"Sick's."

Ryan posted a photo on his insta story. A photo of himself with a caption stating that at this time, he is sick. Not only that one photo, there are even some other photos that he also uploaded. Including photos of doctor's prescriptions and medications that have been redeemed.

After uploading this, Ryan put the phone on the side of the bed. She hopes her children will react soon. Coincidentally long before this, he had been friends with his three children on social media.

Ryan couldn't wait to see his three children panicking, then vying to give him attention. He had even imagined it before his eyes. Where Nino, Ansel and Arka will be worried about his condition. Then they will do anything for the recovery of his father.

One, two, three.

Three hours passed just like that, in that period of time Ryan went back and forth to see his phone. Hope there's one child who sends a message or calls, just ask her. But by morning, no one was worried about the man.

How to pay attention, Arka just since last night take care of his wife who suddenly did not feel well. Nino herself spends her time with Nadine and the family who throw a barbeque party. While Ansel molor, due to most eating.

None of her three children have opened social media. Be Ryan's attempt to grab their attention in vain. Even though the matter of his patients is not mere nonsense. He was not in a good situation, and he took advantage of the situation. But it seems like a wrong strategy.

"Every night, sleep is disturbed, because of this fucking disease."

Ryan returned to upload the insta story the next day, after a night of total failure to attract the attention of his three sons.

"Take another drug."

Ryan uploaded another photo with a different caption, this time the insta story is crowded visitors. Ryan floods prayer remarks from his fellow boss in Instagram's Direct Message. He also received a lot of WhatsApp notifications, which he hopes will heal soon. But still, among the many words that come in. Again, none of them came from Ansel, Arka or Nino.

"Other meals are taken care of, dear Word."

Arka stroked his wife's head leaning against the car seat, just back from the doctor. Amanda was declared to have acid reflux disorder.

"Yes nothing, which certainly do not be in disgrace again if you eat spicy, asem and others. You eat jujak mango young already like eating cashew nuts the other day. No expression at all."

Amanda laughed, she recalled a few days ago buying a ramjak with young mango and a lot of chili. Though at that time Arka had reminded, but he was indifferent. Because he really likes that rujak.

"Yes. Sorry mama Firman ya, papa kale."

Arka laughed and stroked his wife's head again.

"I thought you were pregnant again." she said later.

"Can't you, you?" amanda said, laughing.

"Yes panicked to see you suddenly vomit. If she's pregnant, I'm ngarep."

"You can't relax a little bit. Pregnant heavy tau no, how many kilos it is in the dalem. Not a baby, not yet amniotic fluid. If the baby's one, if it's two?"

"Yes we are tired of course, ngurusin was two to four" said Arka.

"Can stress me out, Ka. Let's say there's a maid too, her mother's parents will be bothered and sleep less."

"But the clamor of you being pregnant, the belly is so big. Her chest is big, this is too."

Arka squeezes the back of his wife.

"Ih, you're such a pervert. Wife's sick too."

Amanda hit Arka.

"No, baby, kidding. Let's not feel sick and get well."

Amanda smiled again.

Arka again stroked his wife, then the young man's hand turned to hold the steering wheel. Their car passed by a road, and suddenly they found Ryan preparing to get into the car.

"Hi, dad." said Arka waving. Ryan who had not been able to talk was just dumbstruck. He was in front of a pharmacy.

"What is such an Arka not peculiar to anything?"

At least that's what Ryan has in mind.

"You're not stopping?" ask Amanda to Arka, when their car has moved away.

"That's why I want to go with daddy, Nino, with Ansel."

"Oh, to daddy's charity?"

"Yes, want to come?"

"No ah, I'm still nauseous gini. Ntar if fainted there, right, make a bother. You just, the important thing is not to spread the charm here and there."

"Dear, no koq. When the hell have I ever been?"

"Yes, yes. At the kayak event, usually many CEOs or female employees are present. Moreover, the secretaries tuh, ngintilin bossnya everywhere. It was a short skirt, a smallness. Look out for it if you're nervous."

Arka laughing.

"Are you afraid?" ask her later.

"He is afraid, his name is also wife. Just watch out for it."

"Yes, baby, no. No, don't think negative. If you're sick, you like to mess with his mind."

Amanda smilingly looked at her husband, Arka's tone could always melt her heart.

"Dear baby, how's dong?" said Amanda later.

"Well, have another child...!"

"Thou mah."

Amanda pinched Arka.

"It hurts." said Arka while avoiding while laughing.

Meanwhile.

Ryan was still arrogant with the attitude of the Ark earlier, but what power. Ansel and Nino, who have been with him for years, still find it difficult to give him attention.

Moreover, Arka who has only recently known himself as a father. It's still a good thing the boy didn't take revenge or hate Ryan too much. Like other children in general when abandoned by their own biological parents.

"Sir, I think we're being followed by someone."

Driver Ryan pointed at the man as he glanced at the rearview mirror. Ryan looked back, staring at a sedan that was traveling at moderate speed.

"Raise the speed." - Ryan ordered.

The driver increased the speed, and it turned out that the car did the same.

"They're following us, aren't they, sir?"

"Yes" said Ryan briefly.

He didn't even know who was following his car. Because he did not recognize the license plate and the car. What and who the vehicle belongs to.

"Straight at high speed, take the right. keep to the right and to the left" Ryan said.

The driver followed, and it happened that Ryan's driver was young and a former street racer. He followed Ryan's instructions.

He raised the speed until the car that followed them did the same. At the middle of the tightness, he turned the car to the right side which happened to be quite quiet from the rider. The car that followed them drove forward.

After taking the right lane, they take the other right lane. Straight a little then to the left, their tracks were just gone. Even the stalker cars that had turned around, could not detect their movements at all.
