"Have you finished your shift?" ask Aska when she saw the lover had just come out of the IGD room while attaching his white coat.
Hearing Aska's question, Ayana reflexively stopped her footsteps. He nodded to answer the man's question. His mood is not so good at the moment and he is lazy to argue, therefore Ayana only returned the potluck.
"When are you with me?" wheedle Aska.
Ayana shook her head and reached into the car keys from the bag and shook it right in front of the lover.
"Tomorrow I'll be anther. Your car just stay here, anyways now it is malem. Mending me anther home."
Hearing the lover's reply, Ayana immediately snorted while crossing her hands in front of her chest.
"Are you sure you want to catch me tomorrow? I'm on the night shift tomorrow, Ka, leaving at two in the afternoon. Can you anter me?"
Aska's face instantly changed pias. The man was at a loss for words to simply reply. His brain was thinking hard looking for answers.
"How do you think dong?" ask Aska desperately, "I need to talk to you. We need to talk to both of you, baby. I want to apologize for yesterday. I'm wrong, I shouldn't be."
"Are you aware that it's wrong?" sindir Ayana's. Because this was already the fourth day after the scene he was revealed in the middle of the road that time. Anxious of course still so thick he felt.
"Yes, I was wrong about that time. Even the time is not right, I am already late these few days. But I have alesan, baby."
"What reason do you want? Busy?"
Aska was silent with her head down in fear. This made Ayana guess that what she said must have been true.
"Why is he?"
"What do I have to answer?" Aska asked, "we're not both busy? Your working hours are difficult to adjust to my working hours, so that's why I just got here to find you. It's not because acesan is busy or doesn't want to see you."
"Oh, so my working hours are wrong? You know my profession? I'm a doctor, my working hours are like this. If you don't like it, you shouldn't date me from the beginning" exclaimed Ayana emotionally.
"Why are you talking about it?" aska's protest didn't accept, "i didn't say that, did I?"
Ayana grunts no matter. "Know it, whatever. I'm going home. Tired."
When Ayana tried to leave Aska, the man quickly blocked her wrist.
"You can't just go, Na, we need to talk."
"I knew. I know, Ka, we need to talk but not now. This is malem, we are both tired of not getting the end because there we will both share emotions. Tomorrow only. At least we need to talk to an equally cold head. I go home first, you carefully go home," Ayana said later.
Inevitably Aska finally let Ayana go. As the lover said, both himself and Ayana are still equally covered in emotions so it's good if they calm down before discussing their relationship.
***
As Ayana gets her night shift again today, she decides to give up and pay a visit to Aska's office during lunch hour. The man then invited the lover to eat at a food stall near the office. Aska's choice was soto betawi. Ayana did not protest and according.
After they finished ordering their order, both of them chose in their silent mode. Until finally Aska could not stand it and began to reopen the conversation.
"Don't know yet. I think I'll stop by the mall first, I want shoes."
Aska nodded in understanding. The man let out a long sigh before starting his apology.
"I want to apologize about-"
"It was you, Ka, who passed, I also said wrong yesterday. We're just gonna do it?"
"Aren't you angry?"
Ayana took a short breath. "It's still a little bit, just yeah. I can what?"
Aska's hand stretched out and clasped Ayana's palm. "You can be angry, Na, I'm wrong. I shouldn't have been."
"I know, I can get angry. Then what you did yesterday I think was pretty outrageous, how could you come down to me in the middle of the road so far."
"I'm sorry" said Aska, full of regrets.
Ayana smiled thinly. "No papa. We were both emotional yesterday."
"But-"
"Udah, Ka," cut Ayana fast. His face looks like the woman is really discussing it.
Aska still felt a little guilty. "How did you get home yesterday?"
"See me for a pick up."
"Who?"
"Malvin's."
"Your friends are doctors too?"
Ayana nodded and agreed while picking up the spoon and fork as their order had already arrived.
"Malvin's a guy, right?"
Ayana's eyebrows raised next to. The movement of the hand stirring the soto soup suddenly stopped. "Emang why? You got a problem?"
With a thin smile Aska shook her head and told Ayana to eat their soto immediately.
