The holidays are over. Bringing happiness on departure, when returning implies disappointment. As scheduled they should be home tomorrow, but the young master who was burning with jealous flames decided to go home today.
Bee did not want to debate her husband's unilateral decision. He was too lazy to fuss, when his time was allotted to take care of Saga who still did not want to be on anyone other than himself.
The journey of nearly twelve hours was passed by silence. There are no laughs or love stares like the beginning of departure.
Stars try to melt the atmosphere. It's over until there's nothing to fuss about anymore. Many times he also asked Saga for attention, but the boy still refused.
"Would you like to eat something, baby?" The star touches Bee's hand, but the girl pulls her hand in order to envelop Saga who is now asleep. The eyes of the Star were round at his wife's reaction. He's dropped his ego, talked to Bee and forgot his sense of regret.
"Bee..!" the intonation of his raised voice also ignored Bee.
"I'm talking to you"
"Yes, brother, I heard" he said.
"Why did you pull your hand when I touched it?"
Bee rolled her eyeballs. She was neglecting her husband's childish attitude. "Look at yourself, again really blanket Saga"
"Reason!"
"Whatever!"
As a result, until arriving home, the two are still silent to each other.
The holiday moment that Bee hopes can make himself more relaxed and ready to undergo a trial, in fact, now he actually has a burden on the mind.
The night before the actual battle began, Bee prepared materials that he would percentage in front of the examiner lecturer tomorrow. He still has one today to clean it up.
Preparations have been completed ninety percent, only completing reference materials in the bibliography. The big question now is, Saga. How could he leave that child tomorrow?
"Mir, here deh" he said to Mira who was busy tidying up Saga's closet. Reordering the clothes they brought yesterday's holiday.
Mira approached standing in front of Bee, ready to wait for orders from her employer. "Here, sit beside me mir" Mira said. Saga glanced at him, but did not want to let go of his arm around Bee's neck.
"Saga, remember aunt Mira right? this is my mom's friend too. He is also good at swimming, and will always take care of Saga. If mama is no longer beside Saga, aunt Mira will take good care of Saga. Saga want to be with aunt Mira?" bee said softly, hoping Saga would open her heart to Mira.
At first Saga was silent. Not interested at all. But Mira's hand gently stroked Saga's back until the boy looked at her. "Sama aunty yuk"
Slowly Saga wants to be held by Mira. Bee smiled happily. Tomorrow he can go to college quietly.

A bunch of roses arrived home at two in the afternoon. Wati who received her from the courier and handed it to Bee who was busy in front of her laptop. "Dad, there's a flower delivery"
"English cake, auntie ga ngerti, Nyah"
Bee accepts, it's from the Stars. Tucked in her apology card, and she was deeply sorry with her attitude. Bee just smiled. Two days of silence made him uncomfortable and there was a longing tucked in the woman's heart.
Her night Bee looks enticing welcoming her husband who came home late because he had to finish his pending work during their vacation yesterday.
Just hearing the Star car enter the courtyard alone, Bee's heart was already pounding, his heart as if jumping up and down on the spot. She had prepared dinner in return for the flower delivery.
The star entered the house, greeted Bee who stood in the doorway with her smile. "There's an angel of my heart here" said Bintang happily. His wife is so beautiful and so fragrant. She recalled, the nightgown the stars bought on assignment to France at that time. So she knows what sexy Bee is behind that thin, red-faced kimono.
The red clover on Bee's cheeks was so noticeable. Although the Stars often praised him, he was still embarrassed. The heart always shakes for the man. "I'm sorry I've been home a long time, baby. You waiting for me?"
Bee just nodded. Her stomach was even very hungry, waiting for her husband to come home. The star embraces Bee, taking her up to the room. Sigap Bee prepared the Star outfit as the man bathed. Even the man had invited Bee to accompany him to the bath, but the girl quickly refused. Besides taking a shower, he was also very hungry. If you accompany the stars, then the time to take a short shower can be many hours.
"So tomorrow's the trial?" ask the stars in the middle of their dinner.
"So.." Bee was a little less excited when discussing the matter tomorrow.
"You can definitely. Don't worry ya dear" Star squeezed Bee's fingers and pulled to her lips and kissed gently the back of the woman's hand.

Bee has arrived at the college. Her majors look lonely, because her stambuk sister is indeed following their courses. The courtroom they used was building B, the third floor. Bee is neat complete with blazer. Her long hair in a neat loop like a flight attendant.
The second session becomes his turn. Inside Tika, her friend was a percentage in front of all the examiner lecturers. The rush of the tester's voice to come out makes Bee ciut guts. He closed his eyes, shadow Saga with his cheerful smile and also the kiss that the Stars would give to him after this green table made him excited. He must be strong and confident for the sake of his family. He wants to make his family proud of him.
"Papa, aunt Di, om Edo, mother, sister Bintang and Saga, doain me yes" she whispered inwardly.
Seemed the atmosphere in the alot, up to an hour more, Tika did not also come out. Bee and two other colleagues waited with their hearts paused.
The testing team said it would continue after lunch until Bee had to wait more patiently for his turn.
Deerrrr... Deerrrr..
Bee took his phone. " Yes, brother?"
"Where's darling? sorry I couldn't accompany you from the beginning, there was a meeting I couldn't leave, but I went straight there"
"It's not my turn yet, brother. Lunch is over" Bee said uninspired.
"Are you all right, Bee? if you are not feeling well, do not keep it. The title is no more important than your health" said the anxious star. If his new investor could come quickly, surely he would go to see Bee to accompany his wife in this down time.
