Arumi was like losing her guts. He did not even dare to say a word. Alex's sharp piercing black bead managed to make his body lose energy.
Through his gestures, Rafli was able to see how suddenly Arumi was clumsy due to Alex's sudden arrival. He himself does not know why Alex can find a new residence Arumi so soon.
Did he follow us yesterday? As soon as Rafli's mind guesses.
No matter what Alex looks at them like, Rafli tightens the towel around his waist, then swings his legs closer. Next to her hand stall and pull Arumi's wrist, until the woman's body is pulled behind her back. Rafli could feel Arumi's trembling and cold hands. It created a belief in his heart that something was wrong between Arumi and Alex.
"Do you want to come so early?" Rafli's gaze hit even sharper. His sturdy body almost blocked Alex's view from Arumi.
"I have a personal affair with Arumi" Alex replied.
"All the matters concerning Arumi are my business."
Rafli's words only greeted Alex with a cynical laugh. As much as possible the man tried to calm down amid the arrogant attitude that Rafli showed. "Are you her husband? Or brother? If not, then ...."
"Depends on situation. I could be anything for her." Rafli cuts quickly before the guy's annoying sharp mouth makes Arumi even more depressed. "So, since it's still morning, please leave this house."
Alex flinching. Fully aware that the house now inhabited by Arumi is indeed the home of Doctor Rafli. But he also did not want to lose just like that, because he felt he had full rights to the woman.
"Arumi, I need to talk to you alone right now."
Arumi who was standing behind Rafli immediately regained consciousness from the daydream. He braced himself to confront Alex. But don't be happy just yet, because Rafli is again a hindrance.
"It looks like you need to wake Aika up. Didn't he have to go to school this morning" Rafli said.
"Arumi." One last call from Alex manages to knock out Arumi. The woman shifted position, until standing next to Rafli.
"I need to talk to him. I beg you," said Arumi, staring at Rafli expectantly.
Dive into Arumi's gaze, Rafli can read the sadness that is like being covered by Arumi. He also realized, his arrogance can now have a bad impact on Arumi.
"alright. But don't be long."
Before leaving the living room, Rafli threw a sharp glare at Alex. Then left the two men.
"I won't be long, I just want to say something that I think is important." Alex sits on the living room couch. A glance at his gaze examined every part of the house.
"I'm sorry."
"I didn't come to hear your forgiveness." This time Alex looked at him more seriously. "I want to remind you of our agreement. Maybe now you've forgotten."
Both of Arumi's eyeballs returned glazed. Married to Alex was one of the covenants he had agreed to for the sake of gaining freedom from slavery.
"I remember." Arumi's voice trembled slightly. "But I still need time to get close to Aika. You see for yourself I'm still hiding my face from her. You can wait a little longer, right?"
Alex did not respond in excess, other than the cold attitude he showed Arumi.
"Then, I'll give you three days to leave this house and return to the apartment."
Arumi ventured to look up to look at the man.
"I don't have a problem with your daughter. But I'm asking you to stay away from that doctor."
Just now Alex finished his sentence, a call was heard from inside, followed by the appearance of Aika who was still in pajamas. The little girl directly smashed her body at the mommy. Hugging her so tightly as if not wanting to share it with anyone.
"Mommy, let's hurry, I want school" he said spoiled. Then glanced at the man sitting not far away from them.
"Yes, Honey. Wait a minute, yeah. Mommy is having a guest," Arumi gently persuaded. But Aika doesn't want to know. He still whines to Arumi to be bathed. To make Arumi resigned and follow the will of his daughter.
"Sorry Alex, I have to go inside. We'll talk next time."
Alex just stared at little Aika who was trying to drag her mommy out of the living room. Somehow Alex is convinced that Aika's arrival disrupts their conversation is Rafli's interference.
"Kids and daddies are the same. This little monster must have sent his daddy."
