Loosely Paid, CEO Beautiful
Peace

Arka leaves for the office, moments after Anita and Lastri come to babysit the twins. He now drives his car with a still-chaotic feeling.

Amanda felt the chaos. Not many smiles were on his face when he arrived at the office. The mood is not good, after an unclear quarrel this morning with Arka.

"Ri, where are you?" asked Arka when she got to the office a little more.

"In your heart, dear."

Arka did not answer.

"Ntar met ya." he said in a lethargic tone, immediately Rio also caught a suspicious wave from his best friend.

"Lo why, bro." asked Rio later.

Arka was silent for a moment and answered.

"About." she said later.

"Somewhat?"

"I told you, I did business first."

"Lo, mah. If you want to tell me later, don't give suspicious clue to me. I guess I'm curious."

"Don't you know, I'm on the road again."

"Yes already."

Arka then hung up her phone and continued to the office. That day he worked with divided concentration. In fact, he thought more about his fight with Amanda, rather than thinking about the job itself.

Not much different, Amanda felt that way. It feels heavy to walk the day. To get to lunchtime, it feels like a long time. He was so uncomfortable with the thoughts he felt.

"Lo why the hell?"

Rio asked when finally he and Arka met for lunch, somewhere. Arka who is now smoking cigarettes also began to talk.

"Gue didn't know, all of a sudden this morning was fighting."

"Koq can?"

"Gue again in the bathroom, Amanda yelled. I'm samperin, I think there's something. It turns out that he was giving ASI to my son, both carried with him. My children are growing teeth again, continue to be bitten was Amanda the same my son. Amanda's angry, my son immediately took it. He pumps his ASI, gets into the bottle. In love, my children are crying and crying. That's where Amanda yelled at the kids, fighting I'm the same as her."

Arka is back to smoking her cigarette. While now Rio sighed, then sucked the sweet iced tea that was in front of him.

"Maybe Amanda had more thoughts, bro."

"Yes I'm just as much of a mind, bro. Work, filming, thesis, etc."

"However, you are not nyuin son."

"Gue also gave them milk, even though it wasn't mine. I also help take care of the child, Ri. You think I'm a husband, relax?. Hesit."

Rio again sighed.

"Bro, I know you also take care of Azka with Afka. But the milk they drank came from Amanda. Amanda is pregnant, giving birth, using contraception. Maybe her hormones are churning again, because she's stressed or something. Maybe in his office he's under pressure, so he's out of control."

Arka was silent, he now dropped his gaze on the ashtray that began to fill with burning ash.

"Wedding isn't easy, bro. You two suddenly meet, suddenly get married, suddenly also have a child. It's all very fast, happening in your life and Amanda's. Yes naturally there is a problem a little like gini. Who dated for years, his planned marriage could be bickering almost every day. Moreover, you who from the beginning did not date. Including the greats of you two, get through almost two years of this well."

Arka nodded, he finished his last suction and then turned off the cigarette in the ashtray.

"Eat ya, bro." Rio said later.

"Lo from earlier ngerokok doang, already four stems. Where to drink iced coffee, stomach acid loh ntar." he continued again.

Arka can now smile a little.

"Eat, yes." said Rio again.

Arka nodded, honestly earlier he was not so**** dine. But now he will force himself a little.

"The quarrels between husbands and wives are common, Amanda."

Aunt Titiek, friend of Amanda's late mother. What Amanda had visited some time ago, now said while putting a glass of fruit tea on the dining table. In front of Amanda.

"You have to be good at managing emotions." said aunt Titiek again.

The woman now added some snacks to the table, then sat down in front of Amanda.

"Sorry Amanda yes, aunt. Amanda ngerepotin aunty, come on suddenly."

"No one is bothered, the aunt is even happy you came and want to tell the same aunt. But the one you always forget."

"Bring your children."

Amanda laughs.

"Amanda was from the office, come straight here, aunt. So do not have time to bring them, sometime yes." he said later.

Their conversation continues. Aunt Titiek gave advice to her best friend's daughter about marriage. Amanda listened carefully.

Without feeling it, the day began to twilight. Amanda, who deliberately truant from her office to calm down, finally came home. As usual after he arrived at the penthouse, Anita and Lastri who babysit the babies also went home to the other house.

Incidentally the twins slept, and the state of the penthouse was cleared by Anita and also Lastri. But they don't cook, for fear that it doesn't suit Amanda and her husband's tastes.

So Amanda cooked, although she was still reluctant to talk to Arka. But as a wife, she also should not neglect her duty to serve her husband.

Besides in this penthouse, who arrived first. So he was in charge of preparing dinner. Amanda cooked, while washing some of the equipment previously used. Sometimes he stirred his cooking.

"Here, let me do the dishes."

Suddenly Arka appeared and took over, Amanda shifted to near her cooking. Both of them now look awkward.

"You..."

The two spoke at almost the same time, then they looked at each other. Arka tried to smile a little, Amanda replied. Then they both finished the job.

Arka cleans all the cookware, while Amanda now prepares the food on the table.

"Udah finished?" ask Arka to Amanda, the woman nodded.

"You want coffee?" ask him about Arka. The young man nodded.

"Anterin to the balcony ya." he said later.

Amanda nodded, there was still some lingering awkwardness in their hearts. Both Arka and Amanda are still in their egos. They both refused to apologize first.

After making coffee, Amanda goes to the balcony and delivers it to Arka.

"This, Ka." she said later.

Arka who was strumming the guitar also stopped his activities.

"Here" she told Amanda to sit down. The woman sat down beside her husband.

"What's in the office?" ask Arka.

"Me, truant." said Amanda and then smiled thinly.

"Where?"

"To Aunt Titiek's place."

"Who's aunty Titiek."

"Mama's victory, which I used to go there."

"Oh."

"You alone?"

"Stupid too, same Rio."

Arka laughed, Amanda did too. The ice cubes between them began to melt.

"I'm sorry, yeah."

They both spoke at almost the same time. Then, quietly, the two of them clashed in a glance. Soon the two smiled and even laughed together.

Time passed, Arka pulled his wife into a hug. They told me a lot that night, Arka kissed Amanda on the forehead. The woman hugged Arka tightly. Until they realized that the cuisine that had been placed on the dining table had been cold.

"Well, cold Ka. I'm afraid." said Amanda when they finally went to the dinner table.

"No, man. The rice is hot, right?"

"Well, is that okay?"

"Not anything side dish mah, its rice is important. Eat yuk...!" said Arka later.

The two of them ate together, and the quarrel this morning seemed to pass by. After eating, they went to take a shower and then visited the twins' room, because the two children were awake. Amanda and Arka apologized to their two children about this morning.

Although they only answer limited to hoaaaaa, hoaaaaa or hoayaaa. But the two new parents, relieved of his heart. Because after all, it is not good if the couple shows a fight in front of the child.

Azka and Afka are babies, but their eyes, ears and memory will store whatever they catch from around. And it could have an impact on them later in life.
