EPS 10: SOFTNESS SYMA

Now Kevin just looked at the little boy who was eating ice cream. Never imagined by him, for several years working with Ersad. Just this time he was doing a task beyond his ability.

"Slowly eat" said Kevin, taking tissue and wiping Zea's mouth. Kevin remembered how hard he was to persuade the unrelenting Zea to cry and ask about her mother. One of the things that crossed his mind was just ice cream that the kids definitely liked. And it's true... Zea was silent when Kevin asked her for ice cream.

"Uncle Ze pup..."

"WHAT!! My God how this is," Kevin immediately stood up so shocked by what Zea said. It was as if it was the most terrifying speech he had ever heard. Kevin felt riled up, until pacing because of the confusion of how. Zea has been wearing Pampers. Just throw and clean. But Kevin's cleverness is gone when faced with something like this.

While the little boy just stared at her innocently.

Lucky in such a difficult situation. The sound of the apartment bell ringing. Kevin believes Ersad and Syma have returned.

Quickly the man opened the door and saw Syma alone there.

"Kevin? what happened, where's Ze?" syma asked looking at Kevin who looked worried.

"Anu."

"Anu, that. Whahuh? speak clearly, don't worry me!"

"Ze. she's a pup."

"Pups?" Syma. While Kevin nodded innocently.

Sontak Syma immediately laughed and approached her daughter.

"Jeez Kevin. I think something's going on. You've made me heart gymnastics today.

Ze's just a pup, and you're already so anxious!" syma shook her head.

"I'm sorry, madam."

"Why apologize, I can understand. Your boss's just being outrageous, burdening you with work beyond your means."

Kevin only smiled faintly in response to his words.

"And again, don't call me madam. Just call Syma,"

"Good Syma.

Um, by the way, where's Mr Ersad?" ask Kevin who realized Ersad's absence with Syma. They just got married.

"She said there was some important business. So I go home first. Afraid Ze's bothering you."

"Ah, I don't feel bothered. Ze's a good boy. I thought I would have trouble keeping it. But it turns out I was wrong. Ze is not a whiny kid who is not used to strangers like me" Kevin said with a genuine smile.

"really? I think because you're good at small-child affairs," Syma teased him a little. Kevin just chuckled.

"Honest. I am not used to being close to children. But looking at Ze. I think there's a pleasure in itself.

Em. I'll excuse you, then."

"alright. Thank you for taking good care of Ze."

"Together," Kevin replied before stepping away, leaving them behind.

"So you're the jerk who wanted to harass Syma at the time" Ersad said, staring at the man who was currently sprawled by a blow from him. It still felt very unsatisfied to torture the man, even though his face was already battered.

"Ma-af, I'm not going to do it again. I promise," said Roy stammered.

"I was just told. Someone gave me a chance to get close to Syma. I liked it before. But I realized that Refan was my friend. But a woman washes my brain until I'm desperate to do it.

I didn't expect everything to be like this myself" Roy said almost desperately.

"You will suffer for your own actions. I'm going to turn you in to the police and be punished severely" Ersad said softly, but sounded terrible.

Ersad gestured to his friend who was working as a cop to immediately subdue Roy and bring him the most terrifying resilience.

"I'm handing him over to you."

"certain. I know what I have to do."

Ersad left immediately when his business was done. He remembered that he had left Syma with Zea for too long. This was supposed to be their first night.

When on the way. Suddenly Nora called. Said he was sick. Ersad turned his wheel and met the girl in his apartment.

"You don't look like a sick man, Nora!" said Ersad. Staring cynically at Nora who was only wearing a tanktop and hotpants. Again he felt fooled by this girl.

"My head is so dizzy, brother. Can you massage my head" he asked with a plea. Ersad grew increasingly irritated and approached Nora. The look of killing her did not scare Nora in the least.

"Stop pretending Nora. What do you really want?"

"Sister-in-law. I'm lonely. You know my parents are gone. While Erika's brother is in a coma in the hospital."

"Then what do you want? Don't you have someone to accompany you. You're all grown up. Have the brain to think, by wearing clothes like this. Do you deliberately want to tease me, Huh!

remember Nora.. I'm your sister-in-law! so stop doing stupid things like this. Show me that you still have morals" the sarcophagus was so sharp and piercing.

The blow from Ersad was enough to make Nora flinch and shed tears.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean that to you, brother. I just..."

"Here you go, stop crying," aware of his actions that hurt Nora. Ersad immediately hugged her, a brother's embrace to his sister.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you. Now get some rest, I'll be home soon. There's still a lot of work to do" said Ersad, scrambling his hair and passing from there.

While Nora just looked at her departure with a meaningful gaze.

*****

Syma who had just finished the tahajud prayer, was so shocked when she saw Ersad who suddenly returned. Syma thought Ersad was going home.

His tired-looking face, made Syma immediately approach him.

"Did something happen? why does your face look tired" asked Syma so gently. With a mukena that is still attached to his body. Ersad who looked at him instantly felt cold. Syma's tenderness made all her irritation towards Nora suddenly disappear.

"none. I'm just tired.I'm going to take a shower first," she said stepping into the bathroom. But Syma's voice stopped her steps.

"Let me prepare the water" Syma said without waiting for Ersad's approval. She went in and prepared warm water for her husband.

Ersad just looked at him. Never did he feel cared for like this. But it still holds doubts. Is this woman also pretending like Nora, he thought.

But nothing made Ersad feel lied to. Syma's treatment feels so pure. Her smile was so sincere, and her tenderness was so soothing. Makes Ersad feel at home for a long time with the woman who is now legitimate, being his wife. Although only a deposit. Which is not until when it should be maintained.

His mind suddenly turned to Erika who was lying weakly. Was I not so cruel, betraying my wife who lay weak in the hospital? if Erika realizes, I will divorce Syma immediately. After all, Erika is the woman I love the most. Nothing can replace his position in my life, his inner self.
