Bagas watched Nina who had been standing near the fridge. Holding a bottle of mineral water, he was seen talking to someone on his phone. Bagas ends his call with Agil. He walked over to Nina.
“Your boyfriend? Or your husband?” bagas.
Sontak managed to make Nina jerk in surprise and turned her head towards him. Nervous and so clumsy on his own. Nina walked past Bagas without answering. Bagas was upset and he pulled Nina's hand.
“Jawab my question? Why you're avoiding.”
The woman fell in Bagas' arms. The two stared at each other for a long time. Nina decided on that gaze and pulled her body away from Bagas.
“Your machine is clean, I have also put it in the dryer ... Now I can go home right?”
Silent bagas did not answer. He only noticed Nina who was preparing to leave. Bagas went into his room to retrieve the car keys and jacket.
“Hmm, why do I always pound because of her?” muttered Nina while staring at Bagas' departure.
Tok to tok.
Nina knocked on Bagas' room door. “I go home yes,” her words.
The door is open. Bagas was neat with his jacket. Nina was surprised she was backing out. Bagas out and smile. “I'll take you.”
“What? No-no need, I can go home by myself.”
“Hard-headed once anyway, no longer need to argue. Remember I'm your boss, follow my orders.”
“You're such a bitch... This isn't working hours, why do I have to obey per-”
Cups.
Nina's eyes rounded in disbelief as her lips and Bagas's lips fused together. He held her lips. “What are you doing?”
“That's a punishment because you're so chatty .. My ears hurt so much to hear your nagging every time,” Bagas said as he left Nina glued.
“Sial, what have you done Bagas? Very embarrassing, you should be able to hold back,” Inner Bagas.
***
In the car. The atmosphere looks so awkward. Nina could not forget the incident just now. Before her she never felt her name kiss. Even though it was just a kiss, it was still not ordinary for him.
And so is Bagas. He is not concerned with driving. Occasionally he glanced at Nina who was just silent. He felt a little clumsy about what he was doing.
“Ayolah Bagas .. don't be a cowardly man, melt this awkward atmosphere,” Bagas inward.
Bagas turned the steering wheel and stopped by the side of the road. Nina felt strange she directly looked towards Bagas and asked.
“Why stop? My house is still far away?”
Bagas removed his seatbelt and tilted his slightly seated position staring at Nina. Nina swallowed her saliva and held onto her thumping chest.
“What else? What does he want to do?” nina's mind is fucked.
“Soal earlier-” say both at the same time.
“You first,” said Nina.
“Not ... You just go first,” said Bagas.
“You only.” Nina is back. Bagas took a deep breath and exhaled.
“Soal earlier, I'm sorry .. I didn't mean to surprise you,” said Bagas.
Bagas lowered his head to hide such a deep shame. Nina smiled at Bagas's behavior. He also ruffled Bagas' hair.
“Hey ... what are you doing?” decak Bagas was upset and surprised.
“I guess you wanted to say what ... it was just that. It's quick to take me home, my house is still far from here,” said Nina smiling.
With a sullen face Bagas re-attached his seat belt and plugged the gas. Half an hour later they arrived in the area.
“Stop here only,” says Nina.
Bagas stared at Nina in surprise. “Here? Where's your real home?”
“I'm sorry, but my uncle and aunt could be upset if they saw me coming home last night by a foreign man,” explained Nina. It was obvious that he felt bad for Bagas.
“Hey, I am not a stranger,” said Bagas did not accept being said to be a stranger.
Nina laughed softly looking at Bagas sullen face. “Hahaha, no need to bring it. Just drop me off here.”
“Alright,” said Bagas lazily while pulling his car over.
“Thank you for the ride.” Nina smiled at Bagas.
Bagas returned that smile. “Sama-sama ... Are you sure you only got here?”
“I'm sure,” said Nina assured Bagas.
When Nina opened the car door and was about to get out. He turned back to Bagas. Bagas was surprised and looked at Nina in confusion.
“What's up?”
“Happy birthday.”
Deg.
Bagas fell silent, feeling his heart beating erratically. Congratulations to Nina, who suddenly. It sure makes him very surprised. The woman remembered her birthday.
“Of course I remember it clearly .. it's night come home.”
“Cih, without you telling me to go home too. Go first, the streets are quiet I will light up the streets with my car lights,” said Bagas.
Nina shut the door of Bagas' car. He walked towards the front there on a quiet, slightly dark street. When Nina had already disappeared from her sight. Bagas turned the car around and left immediately.
But Bagas didn't really leave. Not far from the road, Bagas pulled over and got out of the car. He walked in the direction Nina had been heading.
“Basic geeky, she left her phone.”
Bagas steps stopped when he stopped in front of a house. He immediately hid behind the wall. Seeing Nina who was in the arms of a little child in the courtyard of a house.
“Who is that kid? Why did he call the geeky Mommy? Is it true that the geeky already has children? Impossible,” said Bagas.
He further clarified his vision. “The guy? Is that her husband? I can't see his face clearly,” grumbled Bagas.
“Sial! Why am I so upset like this .. what's wrong if he's married and has children? That's none of my business.”
Bagas felt strange with his own feelings. He decided to leave without meeting Nina. In the car he hit the steering wheel firmly while cursing. He throws Nina's phone in the chair next to her.
“Leave it, I don't care. He can pick up his phone tomorrow at the office!”
Bagas started the car engine and plugged in gas. Get out of that place. On the way he could not calm down always thinking about what he saw earlier.
“Sial! Why am I like this anyway? Bagas forget that, after all geeky is none of you. She's entitled to her own life.”
“Akkhh, I feel not welcome! I think I'm crazy!”

Otherside. Nina hugged Gio so tightly in front of a simple house neither big nor small.
At that time Gerry also just arrived to take Gio. Because it was contacted by Nina before her. That he's going home. And the time is very right when Nina just arrived at the house of Gerry and Gio also arrived.
“Darling, sorry Mommy yes ... Mommy was a lot of work,” said Nina hugged Gio tightly with affection.
“It's okay, Mommy. The important thing is that Mommy is already puyang so Gio can bob ama Mommy,” said Gio with his anxiety. Nina kissed Gio's cheek repeatedly.
“Kak, sorry yes. I've been ngerepotin.”
Gerry smiled and held onto Nina's shoulder. “No apologies, Nin. Gio is also my son.”
Nina looked at Gerry's hand that was on her shoulder. Nina rewinds her body to let Gerry's hand slip off her shoulder. “Still brother.”
“I hate brother, so hate it if you act so presumptuous.”
Those words could only be spoken in his heart. Nina did not want to show her dislike for Gerry blatantly.
“Come on, dear Mommy. We're in, grandma and grandpa must have been waiting.” Nina took Gio into the house. Followed by Gerry behind them.
PLAQUE.
Nina held onto her hot cheek. When it just came in it was already getting a hard slap. He looked towards his bulging aunt with a red face holding back anger.
“Basic shameless! You can come home tonight like this .. and trouble Gerry to keep Gio!”
Nina held back her tears that were about to fall. He asks Gio to go inside his room. Gio nodded and went into the room with his uncle.
“Aibi, don't blame Nina. I don't care if I keep Gio for a whole day or even a week.” Gerry tries to defend Nina.
“You don't know how to profit, Nina. Remember if we weren't here you wouldn't be able to live until now! I willingly donate my own child's eyes to you, you should be able to make this family not difficult! Butwhat? All this time we had trouble to finance your college!”
Nina's hands shook and clenched. Unknowingly her tears were dripping. He rubbed those tears violently.
“Stop, Aunty. Don't blame my college, now I'm here to help you. Tuition fee problem, did aunt forget if I went to college because of the scholarship!”
PLAQUE.
Her aunt slapped her face hard. Nina almost fell to the floor but was captured by Gerry. Nina broke away from Gerry quickly.
“Bolder boy! Could you yell at me!”
“Is Aunt not satisfied to beat me? Please Bi, hit again!” Nina lost control she challenged her aunt to slap her back.
But suddenly there was a voice of Gio who shouted to him while crying. Nina leaves behind Gerry and her aunt. Go catch up with Gio into the room.
In the room. Nina asks her uncle to leave them both. Nina invites Gio to change clothes and get ready for bed.
On the bed. Nina hugged Gio so tightly. While stroking Gio's head. She cried without a sound, and occasionally kissed Gio's head in a loving manner.
“Im sorry Mommy darling.”
“Hiks hiks, brother why did you leave me. If it wasn't for Gio, it might have been a long time since I gave up on this life.”
Nina continued to cry until Gio fell asleep. He slowly got off the bed and went into the bathroom to clean himself up. After taking a bath she peered outwards, looking at Gerry and her aunt talking in front of the house.
They seem familiar with smiles and laughter. Didn't they think about Nina's current feelings. He easily smiled like that. Inadvertently her and Gerry's views meet. The man smiled towards her. Nina threw away her face and closed the window curtains.
“I hate this life, only you love that makes Mommy survive here,” shrewd Nina shed her tears. Peeking at Gio's forehead who was soundly asleep.
Nina flushed her body beside Gio. Hugging Gio's body, he finally fell asleep. Nina was not aware that the bruises on her cheeks were getting red. As a result of his aunt's hand slap so hard.
Because of the family drama that was just in nature. Nina forgot her phone left in Bagas' car.
TBC.
