I followed Arsen and Chelsea into the house, and sure enough they did go into Arsen's room. I exhaled my longs, when I realized that my sister-in-law was indeed a land crocodile man, it was fitting that she would dare to say that she loved me without the slightest hint of hesitation if I was her brother-in-law.
A few hours later, as I came out of the room to cook lunch, I passed by Arsen's room and heard laughter coming from inside. I'm really grateful for Chelsea's presence, at least I feel that Arsen's attention has been diverted to him. Today, Bi Ijah was granted permission to accompany his son who had an accident a few moments ago to control the hospital.
After an hour in the kitchen, I finally finished cooking. At first I thought I was going to have my own lunch like the days before. But as I sat down at the dinner table, suddenly Arsen and Chelsea came down from the top floor and approached towards me.
"Are you having lunch?" ask Chelsea.
"Yes, let's eat together!" answer them.
"Arsen, we'll eat with Brother Shanon!"
Arsen nodded his head, and they sat right in front of me. However, when Arsen saw my cooking on the table, he seemed to show his dislike, he looked grimacing as he raised one of his eyebrows, accompanied by a soft sigh from his lips. Chelsea who realized that also looked at him.
"You why Arsen? Why is your face suddenly like that?"
"Chelsea, I don't seem to fit this dish. Not according to my taste," said Arsen with a flat gaze that made me feel annoyed because it had insulted my cooking.
"Why indeed? It looks good."
"But I don't like it, Chelsea. We'd better eat outside anyway, I'm going to be with you. I don't want anyone to bother us, make me lose my appetite!" reply Arsen who felt so heart-stopping.
"Shanon, sorry we didn't have lunch with you."
"It's okay" I replied with a wry smile. They then left this house, leaving me feeling so upset at Arsen's behavior that I lost my appetite. I finally decided to go into the room and lay my body on the bed. Although Mas Ethan just left, it feels like I really miss him. At least when he was at home, after seeing Arsen's annoying behavior, the messy mood again improved. I also chose to sleep, rather than remember all the thickening attitude of my sister-in-law.
When I opened my eyes, I felt so surprised because outside the sky was dark, it turned out that I had slept for so long, and of course my stomach felt so rumbling. In that instant I also remembered my cooking that I had not had time to eat last night. Rushing, I got out of the room and headed to the dining table, then took the food to warm it up in the kitchen.
After I finished warming up my cooking, I sat down on the dining table chair. But when I just spooned a mouthful of rice into my mouth, I suddenly saw Arsen come into the house, and walked over to me. 'Damn,' inner. But it turned out that he just walked towards the kitchen to get some drinking water, then passed me by.
"It's not polite!" I murmured as he went up to his room. I continued my dinner without paying any attention to him anymore.

One Week Later...
Actually, I wanted to call Ethan to ask him when he's coming home. Didn't he say he was gone for a week or two, and now it's been a week. Maybe their business is done, I tried to contact Mas Ethan, but unfortunately the number is not active. Indeed, as long as he went my time to communicate with Mas Ethan was very limited, occasionally I did make video calls with him and both my parents.
I then walked out of the room into the backyard, intending to water the plants in the backyard of this house. And when I just got out of the house, I suddenly heard my phone ringing. I also picked up the call that came from my mom.
[Hello Ma.]
[Hello honey, how are you?]
[Okay, I'm fine here, Ma.]
[Oh, thank God, where is my mom?]
[Oh mama just got home, honey.]
[Really, so mom and dad are home?]
[Yes, Son. Our business is done.]
[So that means Ethan went home too Ma?]
[It seems so, since the end of the meeting we did not meet with Ethan. Yesterday he suddenly left just to see his friend, while we went straight home.]
Hearing my mother's explanation, in my mind, I thought that Mas Ethan was on the plane because his phone was off.
'Oh, maybe Ethan forgot to call me or wanted to surprise me. I've been calling her cell phone since but she's not active, maybe she's on the plane right now. That's right, maybe now that Ethan is on the plane, ' my inner being.
[Sha, mama take a break, baby.]
[Yes Ma.] I answered and then hung up the phone call from my mom. When I just stepped my foot back, my phone suddenly rang. I looked back at my phone screen and saw the name of Mas Ethan who sent me a message. I was so happy when I received the message, maybe now Mas Ethan wants to tell me that he has arrived in Indonesia. However, the smile that was originally engraved on my lips must fade while reading the message from Mas Ethan if the current business affairs are not finished.
I don't know why my heart felt suddenly so broken, what my mother said why is different from the reality I am facing right now. Suspicion also penetrated into my heart, which now feels so mixed. I was so sad and wanted to scream, but only grain by tear fell down my cheek. Unable to endure the pain in my heart, I ran into the house. However, when I was about to walk up the stairs, I hit Arsen's body just like that.
Looking at the tears that were soaking my face, Arsen also seemed to frown. "Sha, what's wrong with you?" ask Arsen, but that easy question is really hard for me to answer. I stood in front of him sobbing, looking at me sobbing, Arsen just looked at me with such a deep gaze. He then lifted my chin until we looked at it for so long, no matter what feeling was seeping into my heart I suddenly embraced his body just like that. Then, I cried in the chest of his field and was swept away in that embrace, a hug that felt so warm.
