The engine stopped. Elea's two-wheeled vehicle was parked.
From the glare of the eyes that emanated it was clearly imprinted that Elea was agitated. His breath went up and down as if he were in a marathon.
Elea pulled and exhaled repeatedly.
Elea's tears seeped without will. He was also afraid of fear. As much as possible to stay away and erase bad memories in the past. But the more he wants to forget it is precisely the people in his past who appear.
Elea's knees felt weak, she walked slowly towards the door while carrying a bag of groceries.
On the living room sofa is still seen Cila with Bi Mia who has now changed to playing dolls.
Bi Mia approached after seeing her master coming.
Although with a curious look at Elea's face, Bi Mia just took the grocery bag without daring to ask and help put the grocery bag on the kitchen table.
Put vegetables in the refrigerator and some snacks in a jar. While Elea changed with Bi Mia to accompany Cila to play the doll.
“Tenapa nangit? Bunah tacit or bad olang tama Bunah?”
Elea rubbed her cheeks which might still look wet from tears. Elea doesn't want Cila to know that she's crying, and she might report it to Ardha.
Elea shook her head while smiling. Although in the heart of allowing.
Cila does have a high sensitivity. So Elea had to be careful if she wanted to say something to the little girl.
“Mother is just a flickering, Honey. Last time on the road a lot of dust and vehicle smoke so the eyes of Mother glimpsed.” Obviously Elea.
“The eyes of Buna kalo pelgi it use maskel tama rich Papih bial nda kellilipan.”
With a typical adult style Cila advises the Mother to obey as done by Ardha if out of the house.
Elea chuckles, Ardha goes out of the house wearing a mask because she avoids the crowd of fans who can sometimes hurt because it is too bar-bar.
Ardha also could not be flickering dust while on the road because the man was using a car instead of a motorcycle like Elea.
“Iya, Darling.” Elea just agreed.
Their attention is distracted by the sound of the car that turns out to be Ardha's car. Elea checks the circular watch. It was only late afternoon and Ardha had returned home from syutting.
“Feed has arrived, yeayyy!” Cila wanders off to meet Ardha. His feet cheerfully ran to hug Ardha.
“Assalamualaikum.” Ardha set foot on the porch of the house.
“Waalaikumsalam.” Elea kissed the back of Ardha's right hand. His left hand held Cila. One kiss landed on Elea's forehead.
tittt, the honking sound of Fatih's Ardha's car.
From behind the wheel Fatih said goodbye. He did not want to linger to see the scenery that made him sick. He is sincere but that does not mean he does not feel pain.
Fatih's car drove after Ardha gave a thumbs up.
“Papih later buy Bunah mascel that banak. Katian Bunah flickering kalena ndak no maskel.”
They just got into the house. Cila had been chattering about Elea who had been flickering. Ardha lowered Cila to sit on the sofa.
Forehead Ardha shriveling. He looked at Elea who was looking down while rolling the shirt up to her elbow.
“Mother lickling?” I don't know which question is for whom. Elea was sure that Ardha could see that she was crying. Ardha is not a child that Elea can lie to.
Cila nodded in confirming.
The night has come. Elea immediately broke down because she wanted to avoid Ardha's question.
Elea was sure that Ardha would ask what she felt was awkward about.
Elea caught that Ardha's voice was holding questions but she paused because there was Cila. But now there were only Elea and Ardha in this room. Cila had slept in her room a few minutes ago.
The sound of a door knob playing indicates that Ardha has finished cleaning the body.
The movement of the mattress also indicates that Ardha has been wearing clothes and climbed on the mattress.
“I know you haven't slept. You just pretended to sleep.” Ardha hugged Elea's body from behind. Ardha's breath tickled Elea's nape.
“Pend as much as you can and I will take care of you as much as I can.” Ardha's words ended with a caress on the top of Elea's head.She gently stroked Elea's beautifully-dissolved hair.
