Ardian out of the house went to the minimarket to shop for their needs that have been exhausted, all together buy food and take care of something. Maura used the opportunity to examine the contents of Ardian's room, which was previously worn by Dhania.
He checked every place, cupboard or shelf in the room, maybe he found a clue whatever it was, just satisfying his curiosity.
"Huft, there's nothing.. I just think too much, there's no way he's been approaching me all this time just a mission? Basic.." he muttered questioning his own stupidity.
As he was about to leave the room, he saw a small book tucked between two cabinets attached to the wall of the room, Maura looked at the book again carefully, and picked it up. He had a little trouble pushing the two closets so they could slide a little so he could pick up the book.
Pluck up!
The book fell down just as the closet could Maura slide a little, she picked up the book and examined it, like a journal. In front of the journal was written the name of Ardian Hartanto, complete with his address and identity number.
Maura is confused whether she should open it or not, she is afraid that what is in there changes everything, she is afraid that they will change their relationship all along.
"Bismillah, hopefully there is nothing just a list of daily routines. But, what am I doing this is right or not well? Now that he's my husband, it shouldn't matter if I open his things, but.. What if it's something I'm not supposed to see?" he was worried about his own decision.
After quite a long silence, he finally decided to look at it rather than continue to be curious. The other thing, just look at it later, he thought.
"Since childhood bi Marni always told about the family, especially about the child named Maura, a cute and beautiful little girl, he said.. I was always curious about every story about her, did the little girl really have the same power as mine? Even he said he was better than me, I didn't like to hear him, I don't know why... Every time bi Marni told me about her, I just didn't like her, I felt like she loved the boy more than I did..."
"I've met her, rightly my guess, she's just an ordinary arrogant girl, just like any other rich girl. But strangely he was unaware of his own strength? You moron.."
"Today I met him often, and several times also often involved in the same case, and finally bi Marni opened her identity and also told about me, he said so that we do not feel awkward when meeting because we have the same vision and mission, let alone we also have the same destiny..."
"I hate all this, why is this happening to me? I'm scared, yes I'm scared! I don't want to experience the same thing that the commander of Arialoka felt, I don't want to suffer the same fate as him... That girl doesn't like me, and she seems to like her best friend.. Shia! Why would I like it?"
"I give up, I'm resigned to all this.. I can't lie to myself anymore, if I like it, but I just like nothing more... For the sake of bi Marni, for the sake of everything I have to accept my destiny to be with her, yes... In order for all our missions to be completed quickly, I must indeed cooperate with him"
"I like you, Maura... But I'm still not sure about all this, is it purely my feelings for you, or the feelings of Commander Arialoka to Goddess Srikandi? If this is purely my feeling, why not have a sense of comfort when with you, there is a feeling of fear, and nervousness"
"I decided I would always be with him, and promised to live this destiny together as well, not bad either... Me and him have the same mission, at least I can realize the desire of Commander Arialoka to always be with Goddess Srikandi, his unfinished duty, I will complete..."
After that Maura did not continue reading again, he was already disappointed and it turns out what he feared was true, all this time he had misunderstood if Ardian really loved him, he really loved him, really sincere with him.
"Stupid, stupid-fool! I'm so stupid" he said, holding the journal tightly.
After that he saw that there were some bags and suitcases of his in the room, and there were also some items belonging to Ardian had not been prepared. Maura looked at him miris, her life could never have imagined it would be like this.
He acted as if nothing had happened, painstakingly tidying all of Ardian's belongings in place, until they were completely neat and clean. Then he looked back at his things that had not been taken out of his bag.
"Your place isn't here, it's not time yet." he muttered as he stared at all the bags and suitcases.
After that he took her into another room, the room used by Maurice and Kevin at that time. He took out all his things and carefully arranged them in the cupboard, shelf or table in there with a feeling of destruction and pain.
"I don't know what I'm doing right or wrong, at least I don't want to see him right now... At least, don't sleep together just yet... The problem is, the bathroom has only one.. Ck," he said grumpily.
.
When he entered the house, the situation in it was very quiet, there was no Maura, he checked into his room, there was no one. It's just that the items are neat, Ardian smiled and was happy to see Maura's performance starting to accept it.
For quite a while he was outside tidying up some groceries, after about an hour, he was surprised to see Maura coming out of the next room. What he thought Maura was out to meet some of his friends, was in a side room.
"May, have you been in there since?" ask Ardian confused.
"Yes," Maura replied as she rubbed her eyes, she seemed to have fallen asleep inside.
"Want a drink?" bargain Ardian while giving drinking water in a glass in his hand.
"Thank you," Maura replied briefly and picked it up.
"You were-" Ardian wanted to ask about her who just came out of that room.
"I fell asleep after I finished cleaning up my things, sorry." he replied directly.
"What?" Ardian was surprised to hear Maura's words.
"But why? Aren't we married, should we sleep together?" ask Ardian confused.
"I'm not used to sleeping with strangers, let alone being a man, sorry." he replied again casually as he sat watching some of Ardian's groceries.
"I can understand that, but the problem is that we're married" Ardian said.
"I'm haids again, Ardian. I'm afraid you're not comfortable sleeping with me, maybe smelling fishy or what?! You can understand what I mean!" maura replied annoyed, while putting her glass a little hard.
"Hufth, yes I understand... But I don't care about that, but we have to" Ardian is still trying to be patient with her.
"Here you go, I don't want to talk about sleeping together first! It's starting late in the afternoon, I'm gonna take it, and I'm sorry I can't cook like Maurice, you can order food if you're hungry!" maura began to fall.
"You don't think too much about it, I can cook and love to cook. Let me just do it, you sweep the floor." said Ardian as he looked at Maura.
"Why did he, why did he suddenly change this way? I've been watching him since, there's nothing wrong with him... Did I ever say something wrong without me noticing?" he muttered to himself while watching Maura who was preparing to clean the house.
"I'll show him, without which I can take care of myself, I can protect myself even the people around me too! Maybe all this time I was a fool not to judge your sincerity, but I am not a fool in this realistic world." murmured Maura while doing her job.
It seemed like she was starting to look at another Ardian, was the man who had become her husband really sincere or was Maura just misunderstanding him?
