Ica sat in her garden after hugging her mother and just asking for news. He also told the truth about his illness and the misunderstanding about the honeymoon. Then, he stared blankly ahead. Until finally his eyes looked at a swing the only one in the garden in front of his house. Ica looked far away where there was an incident that imprinted on her memory, on that swing. Then, a speck of tears spilled while remembering that time.
Ica was there, hearing all the conversations between Bayu and Dirga. After Bayu came out of his room at an unusual hour, Ica also followed Bayu. He was only worried that there was a meeting that he had to attend because he was Bayu's secretary, but he did not know at all about it, and Bayu also did not tell Ica. He just tried to live his profession properly and professionally. However, he finally found out why this meeting he was not told Bayu, not invited also to come with Bayu. Bayu knows that his chat with Dirga will not be smooth, Bayu just wants to hide it from Ica. And right, the whole conversation from the meeting was about Caca, Bayu keeping it a secret from Ica.
What a conversation Ica regretted having heard, Ica knew the truth of their conversation. He regretted eavesdropping on the two brothers' conversation.
Accepting this matchmaking is the best and profitable option. Bayu once said so to convince Ica. However, who would have thought the meaning of the other implied in it. Bayu is not really accepting matchmaking because of age and readiness of all aspects to get married, not only because you want two companies to be able to get greater benefits from the marriage of two subsidiaries of this company. There is another motive, one thing that affects Bayu the most about why he accepted this match, he considers this matchmaking only as an escape, something that is best and profitable for Bayu because he does need an escape from Caca.
In this park, what Ica discussed with Bayu was very touching, until finally after leaving the swing, Ica even changed her belief to accept the match. Ica was wrong to consider all the talk of Bayu at that time sound sincere. In fact, Bayu can talk like that, because he is used to sweet talk and is a natural skill.
"Four months of marriage, does it have to end now?" Ica muttered while wiping away her tears.
"This marriage is just an escape for her!" inner Ica side demon provokes.
"Be sure the truth is from Dirga and Mas Bayu. Don't make decisions so quickly. You never changed, Ca, too hasty to make decisions, unstable, and have no stance. Maybe you'll regret it if the marriage ends. For you have done this and that with Bayu. You are comfortable with him as his wife. Even you have landed a kiss that is both the first kiss for both of you," the angel-side inner Ica advised.
Ica fears her love for Bayu is a misunderstanding. She was afraid to love her husband, and dared to do this and that, which she never did with another man. He even doubted at this time that he had feelings of love for Bayu. After all, the feeling of love itself is so abstract for Ica who has never dated or even fallen in love. Unlike Bayu who already knows for sure what love is, because it has experienced loving someone.
"Mas Bayu, do you love Ica?" Ica asked softly while looking at the sky that began to darken because it would rain.
...----------------...
Ica didn't talk much at her parents' house. The aura Ica emitted was like a person she did not want to talk to. Manda and Raka did not want to ask questions, he was afraid to even make Ica uncomfortable. They thought Ica might come here to calm herself down from the disturbing, so don't make this place hated by Ica and don't trust her anymore as a place to calm down.
Ica visited until after Isya, after finishing dinner with her two parents. Manda did not mention Bayu who was not present following. After treating Ica while sick from home, there must be a lot of work that is still piling up. Visiting her father-in-law's house will definitely hinder Bayu, Manda thought.
"Ma, Pa, Ica, you can take this car, right? This car is, right, Ica's car. At home there is only one car, and that's Mas Bayu's car which is always carried with Mas Bayu. And if you want to go anywhere, Ica do not have to bother calling the driver here, Ica can drive itself. Can, right?"
"Yes, may be dear," Manda's response, and Raka followed with a nod of the head.
Ica came home in her car. He broke through the rain with his car. While at home, he put his car in the carporch area, next to the Bayu car that turned out to be parked first. Opening the fence of his house Ica broke through the rain. There is always an umbrella in his car. He just wanted to cool his head by uniting with the torrential rain that washes it.
"Why wet? You know you just got sick, right? Why not use an umbrella? If you're in a car, there's always an umbrella there, right? And again, why don't you take the car to tell me first? You don't want to go to the office with me anymore?" bayu said firmly. Instead of welcoming with a towel to dry Ica, he greeted Ica with negative emotions.
Ica ignored Bayu's words, then he went up to his room and changed his clothes immediately. Then, he got into his bed, covered his entire body with a blanket to warm himself up.
"I bought satay for you. It's down below. I have eaten, you live," said Bayu who then followed Ica after being ignored by Ica and waiting for Ica finished changing clothes in the bathroom.
Apparently, Ica did not answer Bayu's words anymore. There was also no reaction whatsoever shown from where Ica was covered.
"Come, I'm talking. Why are you quiet?" say Bayu firmly.
"She's! Is responding to me so hard for you to do?" Bayu started to rise tensinya.
"Ica ate at Mother's. Thanks!" answer Ica cuek. He actually did not want to answer, but if his call had been changed to Raisa again, he just did not accept and wanted to rebel.
"Well, you can heat it up tomorrow for breakfast. You also went to the office by car, right? I think now it's more efficient for you to manage time because it doesn't have to match my time. Not too constrained also because it does not have to drive me," said Bayu sarcas.
"You what the fuck, anyway? Who would bring a car here if it wasn't alone? The curfew of the gini driver has gone home, and Mother's father is tired, it is also impossible Ica to go home alone to ride a bulge because of the rain, because of the rain, it is also impossible to take an online taxi because Ica is afraid that nights in a closed room are like other people, how about if the driver is a guy? There is no choice but to bring a car. After all, Ica also does not want to disturb you by asking to pick you up. Because you told me that your meeting was an important meeting. Even more important, until it can not be followed to the house of his own in-laws. Caca is the most important thing in your life, no one can give it up!" reply Ica does not want to lose her sarcasm. He had opened his face from the blanket that covered, so that he could speak freely. So they can argue smoothly too.
"Where did you know I met Caca?"
"I'm your secretary. I know all your schedules. You don't have a schedule to meet anyone today. And I knew right away that it was Caca, that important meeting was meeting Caca! As important as Caca is to you, Mas."
"She, this isn't what you think!"
"Romey? Okay, don't call me Ica anymore, or Ca. Because it's special and only for Caca, right? I don't want to hear anything. Now that I have a fever again, I want to rest. Don't bother me!"
