Kaivan and Archie arrived in Yogyakarta at 10 this morning. The two went straight to the hotel that would be their stopover for the next few days.
The hotel they were staying at was the same hotel for the businessman meeting tomorrow night. Today Kaivan's schedule is empty so they'll take a break and maybe take a walk around.
"We rest first, later in the afternoon we take a walk around here huh." Kaivan said to his wife who had just finished changing clothes.
"Yes, Om. Oh yeah, want to order some food?" Bidar Archiena while putting the towel he used on the sofa.
"I've ordered it, it might be here any minute." Kaivan replied.
"While waiting for food, if you are not busy then please call mama, she misses her daughter." Kaivan said again.
When Archie took a bath earlier, his in-laws did contact Kaivan. On the phone, Mama Gita said that she missed Archie who had not contacted her for days.
"You're so mad at your mom that you haven't called her in days?" Kaivan asked when he saw his wife was silent.
Archie shook his head. "No, Om. Not that, but …." Archie hung up his words.
"But what?" Kaivan asked, but Archie did not immediately answer.
Kaivan sighed. "I don't know what the reason is, and maybe you mind telling me. Sure, you shouldn't be. Pity your mother until she misses you." Kaivan spoke again and advised his wife.
Archie lowered his head, he muttered softly. Archie realized he wasn't supposed to do this, but he was a little lazy to hear the question from his mother.
"Mama said she wanted a grandchild." Archiena said slowly.
Kaivan who was about to step into the bathroom instantly stopped, he flipped his body and looked at Archie who lowered his head.
Kaivan was silent, but a moment later he approached Archie and held onto both of the girl's shoulders. Archie raised his face.
"Sorry, Om. I'm lazy to hear Mom's questions, so I rarely raise her calls." Archie said slowly.
Kaivan rubbed Archie's pretty face, then pulled the girl into his arms.
Archie was quite surprised, but he did not refuse her husband's embrace. Archie even replied to him tightly.
"Mama's not wrong, Archie. He knows you're married, and it's only natural that he asks for a grandchild." Kaivan said with full softness.
"But you know who I'm married to, I'm not married to someone who loves me." Archie in the arms of her husband.
Kaivan was stunned, he let go of his embrace and then held back his wife's two shoulders.
"You said there was hope in this marriage, you wanted our marriage to last forever. Didn't the child fall within your expectations, Archie?" Ask Kaivan.
The man alluded to Archie's remarks last night saying that he hoped that their marriage would last forever even if it started without love.
"Of course included, Om. But the boy is the fruit of love of both parents, if we don't love each other how can–" Archie's remark came to a halt as Kaivan further tightened the grip on the girl's shoulder.
"Don't love each other, you're the one who's still learning to love me?" Kaivan asked with a heavy voice.
"Yes, I said that I would learn to love om. But not with her like." Archie replied, The girl mentioned last night.
"Archie, I–" just now Kaivan wants to talk, suddenly heard the room bell.
It was certain that it was the hotel maid who came to bring Kaivan's order to eat with Archie.
"That must be the food I ordered, you just eat it first. I'm gonna take a shower first." Kaivan said, then stepped into the bathroom.
Archie again could only take a deep breath and throw it away slowly.
The girl opened the room door and it turned out to be true that the hotel maid came to bring Kaivan's order food.
Archie didn't eat right away, which he probably would have eaten first. Archie will always be waiting for Kaivan, whatever it is including when the man says he wants to try to love him.
Meanwhile in the bathroom. Kaivan appeared to put his weight with both hands supporting the glass wall of the bathroom.
His eyes closed, enjoying the cold water from the shower that soaked his entire body.
With those closed eyes, Kaivan endlessly cursed his stupidity. His friend's words revolved again in his memory.
"If Archie gets to know from someone else, then he must be disappointed. Worse yet, he'll leave you."
Aldavi's words are very disturbing Kaivan's mind. Not only about his condition, but Kaivan was eager to tell his feelings to his wife.
"The umpteenth time you've seen disappointment in Archie's eyes, stop doing that, Kai." Kaivan muttered then rubbed his face and opened his eyes.
Kaivan restores her wet hair, then turns off the shower so that the water stops flowing all over her body.
Kaivan dried his body and put on his clothes immediately, but the man did not come out. Kaivan was silent for a while in front of the big glass.
"Let's tell him, Kai. Tell me how much you love that girl." Kaivan said alone.
"Archie deserves to know that he is loved by you, you love him so much." Kaivan said again.
Without much thought, Kaivan came out of the bathroom and found his wife standing on the balcony of the hotel room.
"Archiena Kinan Xeviola." Call Kaivan by his wife's full name.
Hearing his name being called, Archie looked over. She smiled at her husband who had finished his bath.
"Om done, what's up?" Ask Archie softly.
Kaivan approached, he held the girl's hands and looked her in the eyes.
"There's something I want to say, Archie." Kaivan replied slowly.
SOME WERE HANGED BUT NOT LAUNDRY 😅
