However, Dea did not hold his own words at all. There was no discussion like the woman had. Even though they passed each other several times in the room, Dea still ignored Ben just like that. In fact, even though the husband had called her several times, Dea still left the room without saying a word.
Ben snorted small. He sat lazily by the bed. At first, reluctant to do anything because it was still unthinkable by the change in attitude Dea showed. However, a cell phone ring managed to distract him. Ben reached into his pocket, and found a message notification from his sister-in-law, Dika.
Dika :
Want mintol, Ben. Tomorrow, buy roses. Take it to the restaurant, I take it there.
Ben's forehead was wrinkled for a moment, although he was honestly not too curious about Dika's purpose this time.
^^^Make what?
^^^
Ben asked back through a message, just a small talk to his sister-in-law.
Dika :
Tomorrow 14th February. Bias, girl. Want romanticized.
The reply was enough to make Ben fade the frown on the forehead, and answer his curiosity is not much. He will turn off the phone when the other messages come back in.
Dika :
Are you ready for Dea yet? Ready gih:P before being sprayed by Mbak Dea, because he can feel not caredin:P
The spirit light rose again in Ben's eyes. The man immediately stood up, and replied to Dika's message enthusiastically.
^^^Thanks to his suggestion, Dik.
^^^
The phone is then secured into the pants pocket, and Ben exits the room. Intending to go out to find inspiration about what he can give to his wife. However, just closing the door, an exclamation shifted his focus.
“Ben, can come with me for a moment?”
Since the one who called him was Kahar, then Ben could not resist. The man gave a respectful nod, then followed the in-laws to his study.
“You are round and sure of your decision, ‘kan?” kahar asked, before sitting himself in his swivel chair.
While Ben who had just closed the door of the room, stunned for a moment at the ambiguous question of the in-laws. However, he recalled his acceptance of Kahar's offer the other day. So, Ben replied with a confident nod first.
“Iya, Sir. I am ready to learn so as not to disappoint you,” said Ben full of confidence.
And Kahar seemed satisfied with the spirit of his son-in-law. He gave two small nods, along with a faint smile.
“You can start coming to the office tomorrow, as a regular staff during the learning process. You just find Dion, make a consultation and study directly with him. He has asked me to help you in the office tomorrow,” said Kahar. “This issue, have you told Dea?”
“Not yet, Sir,” replied Ben honestly.
“Let's tell him, so as not to be surprised his special employees do not enter work,” said Kahar, cheered by an amused smile.
Ben did not give any response at first, because it was suddenly thought about the condition of his relationship with the wife.
“There are several reasons and considerations, Ben, so we chose an outsider to be her husband Dea,” Kahar said. His gaze was suddenly blank, directed forward after saying that. “These reasons I don't need to tell you outside. Simply so consider me and my wife.”
Ben was suddenly curious about the reason that Kahar meant. At once, an uncomfortable feeling began to appear after the words of the in-laws.
“That reason makes me very sure, Dion will never be his companion Dea,” Kahar said again.
Ben is getting confused.

...
As a man with a flat life who has never celebrated Valentine's Day at all, Ben has absolutely no idea what to do to be romantic with Dea.
Thus, the man could only imitate all the things that Dion had ordered from him. Flowers, chocolate, and dolls. In fact, all types are the same. Showing how uncreative Ben is in this kind of business.
Ben and Dika agree to come to the restaurant earlier than Dea. So, both of them skipped breakfast for this purpose. Although the two set off in different vehicles, they were lucky to get there almost simultaneously.
"According to you, it's not the same as Dea's favorite?" ben asked, looking at the roses he had bought. Somewhat hesitant, considering that the wife is more like a monster with an angry hobby than as a sweet girl.
"Definitely like it, Ben. Even though Dea is fierce, she is still a woman who likes to be romanticized. You've both been dinner, haven't you?"
Ben nodded. "Yes. As per your advice."
"Well. Dea likes it, doesn't she?"
Once again, Ben nodded as a form of justification for Dika's guess. The sister-in-law immediately flicked a finger after that.
"Well, right! Just calm! Dea's mom would love it!" dika assured. Not to forget, patting his sister-in-law's shoulder twice as a form of support.
"Yes, I'm leaving first. Just pray a lot, Ben. Let Mak's attached mode not relapse today," said Dika, cheeked into a small laugh.
Ben only responded with a faint smile, accompanied by a nod. He remained in place, until Dika got out of the restaurant. Then he walked with all his gifts to the room of Dea.
The man took a deep breath after putting everything together on Dea's desk. He was very hopeful that this would improve the interaction between them. Ben really felt threatened after being silenced by Dea since yesterday.
The man tugged at his work coat. He had intended to wait for Dea to come, and to welcome him here. Honey, the distance from Kahar's restaurant and office is quite far, he has to leave now. Especially after being told that Dion is a firm figure in terms of discipline. The brother-in-law could have immediately canceled their learning process just because Ben was late.
So, Ben first made a small note, placed on the thigh of a brown bear doll. Then get out of this room.
Ben first took his part in all other employees, asking for prayers, and encouraging each other. Until finally the time to leave arrives, Ben tells them to keep an eye on Dea, and do not hesitate to tell if Dea is close to other men. Including Dion.
Ben leaves the restaurant, heading for a new page of life he never imagined. For the sake of Dea, for the sake of the criteria the man Dea—Ben likes does this. Though, he also heavily left the restaurant because of his friends, and also the threat of temptation to Dea from any man.
Ben was worried. Make him hesitate to step up.
