Navya's in the boss's room. Alvi listened to Navya reading out her schedule today busy checking out some reports that had been parked neatly at her desk.
"That's my schedule today. Is there anything else you need?"
"Hmmm.. Meeting with representatives from PT. Aditama you cancel it. Make a schedule for tomorrow."
"Well sir, I'll call his assistant later."
"Exclude the schedule from lunch hour to afternoon, we will review the project in area B"
"Good Sir."
"You can go back to your desk."
"Okay, excuse me sir."
This morning the weather was not so clear. Just like the mood of the two people who had just communicated. Usually the atmosphere between them is not like that, but today the brand is like drowning with its individual mind.
Alvi is jealous, even though she is aware that her jealousy is not on target. As he told Dafin, he would not give up before Dafin could choose between Hana and Navya, and of course if Dafin chose Navya. Alvi will retreat willingly.
But as it seemed, Dafin began to fall for his wife. She loves both Navya and Hana. And the other problem is, Navya also loves Dafin. The heavier the road Alvi wants to have Navya. As sincere as his love for the girl, he will not be willing to force Navya to accept him.
While Navya, her thoughts were filled with the names Dafin and Hana. How long have they been dating, if before marriage it means Navya is the third person. Not Hana.
Last night she wanted to be angry with her husband, angry that he felt betrayed. But when he thought again, on what basis should he be angry at Dafin. Just because the man was her husband, or because Dafin was dishonest about his relationship with Hana or anything else. He doesn't understand either.
I wasn't even the wife she expected. But I don't understand why his attitude has changed lately. He's just being nice, doesn't mean he loves me. He never said he loved me. Then what should he do now.
It seems like they both have to try harder.

Before lunchtime, Alvi and Navya had already set off for a development project in the B area, Ryan who was driving a car. Along the way Navya just kept quiet. He replies if Alvi asks him something about work. The rest of Alvi just talk to Ryan.
"Yan, we'll eat first."
"Good Sir."
Not long after, Ryan stopped at an Alvi restaurant. Ryan has gone down and opened the door for Alvi, while Navya is still in the car. As if not aware that the car has stopped. Alvi accidentally closes the back door a little hard and manages to make Navya realize that they are already in front of a restaurant and only lives herself who has not yet gotten out of the car.
With a feeling of shame he got out of the car, especially Alvi was still there, not yet entered into the restaurant. And the boss just smiled, making Navya even more embarrassed.
"Why you?" Alvi asked as they were already sitting inside the restaurant.
"I ? Why Sir?"
"I am the one you go first. You from the morning daydreaming, not much to say, even your work is also disturbed."
"What time sir? I'm just plain."
"Well you check, which file I asked you to bring this afternoon?'
"There's... Oh my goodness!" Navya held her head in panic. "Sir, I left her at the table. So how is Sir. We're a long way off."
Alvi was just shaking her head at Navya's behavior. He could not get angry at the girl, not even a single mistake he made was fatal.
"It's been Ryan's, now it's in the car."
Navya breathed a little relieved, she was grateful to be able to work with Alvi. Alvi almost never even scolded her. Just because she doesn't know Alvi loves her.
"I'm sorry sir." Said while bowing.
"You won't make a mistake if you don't have a problem."
"I'm sorry sir."
"Yes, you eat first. I know you haven't had breakfast since this morning. I don't like you like this, if you're sick, I'm dizzy."
That's very kind of the boss. Not angry, but this kind of attention. He's gonna be embarrassed. Eh but he means he's dizzy, yeah right . Surely he's dizzy, Navya has been a lot of ditching and not going to work. Neither did Alvi ever cut her salary.
"Have you ever been in love?"
Alvi did not answer. He put a spoon and fork on the plate that still contains food.
"What's the matter?"
"What do you think loving someone should express in words?"
"If you think?"
"If I am, I need clarity. Confession, it's important to me."
"I love you." It was said with a serious face and an intense eye gaze.
Astounded. Navya almost got carried away when she heard Alvi's words. But as much as possible he normalized his facial expression. Alvi smiled instead.
"Anyone can say Navya, but you won't be able to accept her from just anyone. Because you just want it said by the person you expect it to be. Similarly, if someone wholeheartedly expresses his feelings through actions, you will never feel anything because you do not want that person. But it would be different if the solemn treatment was given by the person you expected."
"Love can grow at any time without you knowing it, but you can't force someone to love you."
"If you're your own father, have you ever loved someone?"
"Either."
"So you have a girlfriend?"
Smiling at Navya's question.
"My love is clapping one hand. Because he loves others, open me up."
"Father who is patient, surely one day you will get the true love of the Father. Good girl, beautiful, and who loves you sincerely."
I love you.
"Many of you must be waiting to be your wife! Why don't you choose one, just pedekate first sir."
I want you.
"You're just there. You're the one with the problem, why talk about me!?"
Navya chuckled, indeed he was in a mess about Dafin. But he wasn't ready to tell anyone about Dafin and Hana's relationship.
"Hihihi.. I am confused sir, what is Mas Dafin's attitude to me that is a sign that he already likes me or just he is just trying to be nice."
"I think she likes you, proof of that I've felt the impact of her jealousy." Alvi while touching the tip of her lips scar Dafin's punch.
"Father don't doubt my hope, I'm afraid."
"You just have to try harder, isn't it easier because you live in the same house. Do things that Dafin likes for example."
Duh... Alvi feels stupid, instead of trying to stay away they give advice to make their relationship closer, like he is experienced. He was also heartbroken.
Navya seemed to think, what did Dafin like? This morning she left her husband first. It was as a form of protest, even though Dafin would definitely not understand why Navya was so. Navya did not say that she heard her husband's conversation with Hana. But he could not hide his disappointment. Dafin himself was confused, he thought Navya was in a hurry to not make coffee. But he's not even saying goodbye.
"So according to you, I should be sweet with Mas Dafin?"
"Hmmm. The woman who starts first doesn't hurt."
Navya mangosteen heard the advice of Alvi. He already knows what to do. Hopefully, his efforts later can make Dafin break his relationship with Hana.
Why did I become such a housekeeping consultant anyway. I give advice to married people. Alvi
Epilogue:
Ryan eats at another table, away from Navya and Alvi's table. Alvi told her to eat by herself.
"Why did they eat it for so long." 😔
