Rafli leaves Arumi's room after hearing a conversation that makes him want to drown himself at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Instead of running smoothly, Aika who plain even dismantled her behavior right in front of the mommy.
Want to hide where Rafli's face is now. Suddenly he felt like being the mysterious character behind the mask in the film The Man in the Iron Mask.
Now the man was riled up alone on the balcony of the house. Expecting anterograde amnesia, retrograde amnesia, dissociative amnesia or any type of amnesia to relieve embarrassment.
"It turns out Aika is just like a boy her age," she muttered as she let out a long breath.
Rafli took out the phone from his pants pocket. Suddenly want to contact the other twin brother of the mold, namely Evan. Someone who knows himself best on Earth.
"What's wrong?" The stark question became Rafli's first welcome as the call connected.
"I'm sick! I need a consultation" Rafli replied without further ado.
"Are you pregnant?" chirps Evan.
Shortly after asking that silly question, Evan chuckled amusedly behind the phone. Makes Rafli feel like changing professions to become a hitman.
"Yes, and I want a consultation to give birth by what method," replied Rafli a little annoyed.
"That's easy, you can do it by splitting yourself. I'm worried your baby's breech."
"Stop your silly prank, conch!" sambar Rafli fast. After realizing their chat was very unfortunate.
"You know myself as well that I'm an obstetrician. If it hurts why call me? You're so magical."
"I don't care. Better now you do something for me!"
"What should I do for you?"
"I'm having problems with my skin. At the moment I feel hot and uncomfortable," he said, recalling the feeling caused by Arumi and Aika's conversation in the room.
"Sorry, Mr. Rafli Dylan Alvaro. You seem to be misplaced in a consultation. I'm not a dermatologist and a genitals doctor!"
"You are a useless friend!"
Evan laughed again. "That's it. Your pleasantries are too long. So what do you really want to call me?"
Rafli breathed long afterwards. He almost forgot his main purpose of contacting Evan. "Do you need Osman? I still want to borrow it to do something."
"For what else? After all you're an important person, why don't you have a personal assistant like most novelists?"
"If you can borrow why rent?" reply Rafli. "I still need to investigate something important."
"Alex Erdogan, your little criminal?"
"Hemm .. I'm suspecting something is wrong about him."
"Are you suspicious or jealous?"
Again, Evan's speech makes Rafli want to be an assassin.
The two talked at length, spending hours. Rafli was like a boy complaining to his father.
.
.
Time passes very quickly.
Rafli is still at home visiting people's homes and has no intention of going back to his own home.
I was even eating and enjoying a delicious dinner. Although the cuisine this time is not made by Arumi, because the woman has not been allowed to do strenuous activities after leaving the hospital.
And, it's not just Rafli who feels to be the happiest person in the world with Arumi's return. Aika was no less happy.
In his view, Arumi was very different from Yuna. Gentle and considerate, whether there is a Daddy around them or not. While Yuna is only being nice in front of Daddy alone. Aika really felt the affection of a mother from Arumi..
"Daddy ...," call Aika on the sidelines of her meal.
"Yes, son," replied Rafli while sipping asparagus soup that tasted delicious on the tongue.
"Daddy want to come home after eating?"
Rafli did not reply and just looked at his daughter.
Are you throwing out your daddy? gerutu Rafli in heart.
"What's the matter, honey? Do you want to come home with your daddy?" ask the Oma.
"No, Oma."
"Why so sad?" asked again, after seeing Aika's face flexed.
"My Daddy must be lonely living alone, Oma."
"Daddy's okay, Aika," Rafli said quickly before Aika embarrassed him a second time.
While Arumi who was feeding Aika was only a listener in that conversation.
"Would Daddy not be lonely living alone?" Aika looked back at her daddy.
"No, Honey." Rafli reviewed the bitter smile that looked pitiful in Aika's eyes.
"Don't be sad, Daddy! I didn't tell mommy about our secret."
Immediately Rafli chokes on the asparagus soup that will be swallowed. Aika's plain speech has successfully changed the taste of asparagus into aspirin.
