One week of time passed. During that time Alice had been trying to rearrange her heart. The face was still cloudy, but the twinkle of his eyes was not as desperate as yesterday.
The small garden next to the house becomes a place for the woman to relax on this sunny morning. His eyes looked at the red rose. Gurgling water that fell from the shower in the form of a statue of a mermaid carrying an urn standing in the middle of the pool. Pamper his ears. His heart felt a little calm.
"Why not have breakfast again this morning?" A voice shocked Alice, she turned to the man who was approaching her.
This morning the man went out of nowhere, while Alice as usual; sat down for breakfast with her two in-laws at the dinner table. But it was only the glass of unsweetened tea that the woman touched. There's nothing else. Not because of the diet, but he was not just tasteful.
"I have breakfast" he answered briefly. He turned his eyes back to the red rose. The flower he liked the most, he planted it and watered it every day.
The red rose symbolizes love, loyalty and eternal beauty. The more concentrated the red color on the flower petals. The deeper the feeling of love and loyalty. Such was the myth that the woman believed in her heart. I don't know where he got that philosophy.
"Alice! Didn't you hear what I said?" Bara patted Alice's shoulder gently spread her daydream. He gasped, looking at the man who was now sitting right next to him.
Bara's face seemed angry that Alice, who was so late in her daydream, did not answer her question in the slightest.
"I don't know if we've ever been this close, brother. Tumben you asked me if I had breakfast or not?" Not answering the man's question. Alice was fishing for fire in the middle of the coals.
"What a hard thing it is to answer. If with Gavin you can be sweet, ckkk."
Bara moved from his seat with an unsightly face. Alice did not care, she just looked at the back of Bara who went away. Right now all that woman needed was calm. Alice still did not know what to do at this time. Should he stay in that house? For what, if at this time he is no longer the daughter-in-law in the house.
Morning changes day, day changes night and so on. It didn't feel like three days of time had passed. Bara looked no longer close to Alice, the man looked as cold as ever. Yes .. that is what it should be.
Alice was struggling in the kitchen to help the waiters prepare dinner. The things Alice used to do in this house. He seemed so agile moving around to prepare the food.
Dinner was on the table, all the dishes seemed tempting to the eye. Everything is the result of Alice's cooking, the woman is good at processing food into good food. The taste of the cuisine is beyond doubt.
There was the sound of shoes approaching. The two in-laws came to enjoy dinner together after Alice asked one of the maids to call the two to come. And Bara? The man seemed to be busy with the case he was facing.
"Waw .. everything looks good as always. You are the best, my dear. Mother's favorite son-in-law is the smartest cook. Mama's cooking just lost to you," praised Jelita with a cheerful face.
"Mama praised me too much" Alice replied. The three of them enjoyed having dinner together while exchanging stories and joking together.
He and Alice are indeed eating hobbies, so they are both one frequency. It's just the difference, Jelita is not too good at cooking and her body is not fat despite the many foods she eats.
"Good night, ma-pa!" greet Gavin who just arrived.
All eyes looked. Alice held her breath for a moment looking at the woman hiding timidly behind Gavin's back. The woman he saw a few weeks ago threw a triumphant proud smile at him.
"Have you not been home for a few days, you brought this woman home once?" cibir Jelita ignored Gisella's greeting.
"Ma, me and Gisella are married. Don't be like that to Mama's daughter-in-law" replied Gavin. He pulled out a chair, telling Gisella to sit right next to Alice. He sat down next to Gisella.
Jelita looked at Gisella and Alice in turn. In her heart the woman realized the distant difference between the two women. Looking at her eyes, Gisella's appearance was indeed much more seductive than Alice's. Made his heart waver for a hundred percent to blame his son.
Goddamnit! Alice cursed inwardly towards this woman beside her. Not because of envy, but he felt disgusted when he remembered the woman beside him who sighed and screamed full of pleasure without shame, that the man he was riding had a partner.
Then now, the woman was acting shy as if still innocent to attract the attention of Jelita. Seen from the face of Jelita who began to look relaxed was not as hard as before.
"Why don't you come home and let us know for a few days?" ask Immanuel. This man is trying to be neutral. As a man he quite understands the background of his son doing the affair. Although at first he disagreed.
"I'm sorry, but I'm in the middle of taking care of my marriage with Gisel" Gavin replied. He clasped Gisel's hand under the table, channeling a sense of calm for the woman. Gavin's hands occasionally rubbed the woman's stomach, which was caught by Alice's eyes.
"You got married but didn't tell us?!" jelita started to get angry. As a parent, he was not appreciated by his own son.
"If I tell you, will Papa and Mama come? While you defend Alice more than I do; your own son."
"Gavin!" sentak Immanuel who does not like the attitude of his son.
Alice's eyes warmed with tears that began to pool. He ignored the conversation between them. The corner of his eye did not move from the hand of Gavin who continued to rub Gisella's stomach.
"I know Papa and Mama don't like this sudden decision. But right now I just want to give you happy news."
Jelita and Immanuel exchanged glances and looked at his son with a big question mark.
"Gisella is pregnant, you two will be Grandpa and Grandma" Gavin said with a happy twinkle.
Immanuel smiled happily, as did Jelita. Although she was not as enthusiastic as her husband who welcomed the news with a smile and laughter. But the happy twinkle was clearly visible on his face.
Alice got up from her seat, she left the place without a sound.
"Alice?" jelita's screams call out her name she just let it go. His heart was too sick to stay in that place.
His world has collapsed, he is like a foreign creature trapped in this room. With a moment the news of the presence of a baby in the stomach of Gisel made Jelita and Immanuel attitude slightly changed so fiercely. Alice was awakened from her naive thinking. What else made him stay in that place?
