“Yes Lord Mas Adam !” pekik Eve reflex held her chest in surprise.

Time's still at 4:30. Eve accidentally wakes up early to prepare breakfast and supplies for Lucia who starts school again today. Eve also had to go to campus to meet with her script supervisor.

Eve knows that Adam didn't come home last night but he doesn't care. Eve had asked Adam to leave because the man was carrying a backpack and his clothes were not like people who wanted to exercise.

Adam who had just finished putting the glass in the kitchen just took a quick glance with a flat face. He was ready to answer Eve's question.

Unexpectedly, the girl was seen indifferently walking towards the refrigerator in the kitchen, taking the ingredients and then wearing an apron and starting to weed vegetables.

Adam left the kitchen with a frown. Looks like Eve's still crashing because Adam had a chance to snap at her yesterday before she left.

Until breakfast time, Eve did not speak a word to Adam even though she continued to serve her husband including making coffee.

“Papi, today Sisi wants to go to school equally papi.”

“Indeed Mr Iman where?” adam looked at Eve who was awake.

“There. Side want to be delivered by Papi and Onti.”

This must be all her idea of that damn carrier girl ! adam in his heart.

“Usually Sisi went the same Mr. Iman and Mbak

Sumi.”

“No..no... Side want same Papi and Onti.”.

“Side !” adam rebuked with a rather high voice.

Adam is increasingly convinced that his daughter was provoked Eve to insist on being escorted by Adam. It has been 1 year Lucia attended PAUD and never once had Adam drive her to school for transportation, Adam has prepared 1 car plus a special driver for his wife and child even Erina can already bring her own car.

Eve who heard Adam's voice hurriedly returned to the dining table. He saw the look of Lusia's face was reddish and her eyes glazed.

“We're ready yuk,” Eve smiled and stretched out her hand.

“We wait outside,” Eve continues to hold Sisi who is still unmoved in his chair.

Adam sighed in annoyance as Eve slowly began to change the habits in this house including her daughter. It seems like he has to start talking out loud and have Eve completely limit themselves or the legal process of legalizing their marriage will be stopped.

Arriving at Adam's porch dingukan then breathed a sigh of relief because he did not see Eve and Lucia near his car. His lips smiled thinly, it turns out that the snaps are still powerful to make Eve succumb.

But when opening the car door, Adam's eyes immediately fiddled because Eve and Lucia were already sitting sweetly in the rear passenger seat.

“Side is ready Papi.”

“Mbak Sumi where ?”

“The side is already big, there is a teacher in school so there is no need Mba Sumi.”

Adam was shocked and forced to get into the car. His eyes stared intently at Eve who was indifferent and engrossed in chatting with Lucia.

Along the way, Lucia continued to chatter, telling stories about her school friends but her papi was like lazy to hear. The man's gaze instead focused on the phone screen and responded to Lucia's story with 3 words: YES, Ooo and OH YES.

Eve smiled as she saw Lucia's face turning sullen and her hands folded in front of her chest. His heart was a little sad, it seemed like Adam was giving less attention and love to his daughter.

”Pak Adam just walk away. I left alone to campus,” Eve said upon arrival at the Lucia school.

Adam's forehead creased, Eve called him father again. Somehow there was a feeling of resentment hearing the girl return to early fashion.

“I also have to go to campus first this morning.”

Eve did not seem to hear Adam's words because the girl directly grabbed onto Lucia and carried her all the way to the gate.

Adam was still waiting in the car and staring at Eve who was talking to a woman in uniform with the logo of the school of Lucia. Adam guessed the woman was Lucia's teacher.

Lucia's face looked cheerful and happy. The boy shook his hand, telling Eve to leave. The girl nodded and waved her hand but did not immediately leave just a few steps back. It seemed like Eve was waiting until Lucia disappeared from her sight.

Unknowingly Adam smiled. There was one warmth in her heart seeing that Lucia could still smile and chatter even though she had only lost her mammoth for a few days.

Adam raises the windshield while reading Eve's movements, not wanting the girl to notice the interaction in front of the school gate.

“Street now, Sir ?” asked Agus who saw Eve had climbed ojol.

“Wait for him.”

“Truly Gus ?”

“Iya Pak.”

Adam grumbled, it turns out Eve can also lash this long when he did not mind if Eve wants to come to campus.

It doesn't matter that people see them both getting off the same car because many already know that the two have a brother-in-law relationship.

“Ke campus, Sir.”

Adam sighed while staring at the side window. Confused by his own feelings. Her life is like being dragged back to the past when her heart was made nano nano because she spends too much time with Eve.

“Eve, you are riding ojol ?”

Josh, who accidentally sees Eve at a red light, follows her boyfriend and pulls over when Eve's motorbike stops in front of the campus.

“No time to grab the motor at the boarding place. Yesterday my luggage was quite a lot so the focus was empty the room first because next week there are new residents.”

Without asking, Josh immediately pulled Eve's hand and told the girl to get into his car.

“No need Josh, it's in front of the gate too. I'm on foot.”

“Log !”

Eve rolled her eyes and laughed. Josh's unequivocal voice is not as good as Adam and Eve never took it seriously.

Eve complied rather than having to argue by the side of the road. He did not realize that Adam saw all of it from the car that passed next to Josh's car.

“You really are moving forever into that house ? Not awkward at home with your sister-in-law who is now a widower status ?”

Eve smiled faintly, saddened that Josh did not know the true circumstances.

”Ngot !” answer Eve with certainty.

“How are you sure it is ?”

Because even if he's anything, I can't refuse him because he's my husband, Eve's inner being.

Eve opened the door of the car that had stopped perfectly. His heart was really messed up because he felt he had lied to the man who had been 2 years sincerely love him.

“Can we discuss the others ? I've been quite tense thinking about whether my writing will pass or still a lot of improvement.”

Eve nagged while walking first. Josh rushed after her and laughed when he saw that Eve's lips had pursed and her face was pouting.

“Sorry, I'm just worried that Mr. Adam is caliph,” Josh said as he hugged Eve's shoulder until docked at her.

“I'm Josh first, meet Lisa and Hani first.”

Spontaneous Eve misses Josh's embrace when accidentally her eyes meet with Adam who is staring intently at him from the side of the car.

Just about 5 steps away, Eve stops and turns to face Josh again.

“Josh, can we get out this afternoon ?”

“Can. Where to come to?” Josh smiled at Eve.

“I just want to chat without watching and sightseeing in the mall. Whatever the place, the important thing is good to talk from heart to heart.”

“OK, want me to pick up where ?”

“No need to be picked up, send me the name of the place and its location only, do not forget the time also.”

“But Eve...”

“See you later afternoon Josh.”

Eve immediately turned around and hurried away leaving Josh who was a little confused. The feeling is a little unpleasant but Josh is still trying to think positively.

Josh believes that Eve must still be hit because she has just lost her only brother and now she lives alone.
