Maya Adisti
Recognition

"I love you Maya."

I'm mute. My nerves are frozen. Akash looked at me deeply. There was a different twinkle in his eyes. Again, he kissed me gently until the sound of the car horn shocked us.

"Akash.we're on the road again," I pushed her chest softly. He moved away and returned to his position.

Akash got back on the wheel, I could see he was smiling happily. Wh why? because I didn't resist the touch?

Strange, Akash did not care about my answer at all. Ah, he didn't ask anything. So, is it now that my status and Akash have gone up by one level?

Let Akash consider what this relationship is. I will not violate the contract just in case. The contract is still valid because I will never agree if it ends just like that.

Aw, Akash. If our relationship had started in a different way. Maybe I'll gladly accept your love. All right, let's see. Does he really mean it?

The car stopped in front of the office. From far away I saw Reza walking hastily towards Akash. He whispered to Akash.

"You wait in my room Maya." Akash held my cheek and left after I nodded.

I spread my eyes across the lobby, nothing interesting. I walked towards the elevator but I vaguely heard the sound of two women fighting.

"Like Akash's mother's voice," I thought.

I walked slowly following the direction of the voice. I heard you're cursing at someone. I almost found my mother. I could see his back moving.

"Who are you talking to?" my inner.

I walked back, but suddenly someone tugged at my shirt.

"Anne?" I turned around and found Anindhita not far behind me. The girl smiled.

"Oh my God, has his father still not got a nanny?" I'm wailing about not finding Yash or anyone else around here.

"Who's the same here?" my many.

"Papa."

"Where's your papa?" ask again. Anindhita.

I let out a breath, and Yash could have left his own son. I grabbed Anindhita's hand and took her away.

"Anin, are you hungry?"

Anindhita nodded. I also took her to the cafeteria.

"What would you eat?"

Never to choose, I finally pointed to some food that Anindhita likes. I snorted annoyedly and scratched my head that did not itch because Anindhita continued to shake.

"Ni son said he was hungry but all would not," my inner.

"Three soup with rice." I finally ordered it for myself.

I sat on one of the chairs and Anindhita sat next to me. Akash said, Anindhita was very quiet. He wants to be with me but is alone. Sometimes looking at windows, playing tissues, toothpicks or observing around. He didn't talk to me at all.

"Anin, how old are you?" my many.

Anindhita answered by showing the number four with her finger. My eyes were fixed on the hand of the girl who had been holding my clothes.

My food came, because I was hungry once I started eating it. Anindhita was silent, suddenly I felt uneasy because Anindhita was watching me continuously.

"Anin wants to?" bargained.

The girl nodded. I slide my plate and bowl in front of Anindhita. Instead of eating the girl looked back at me and opened her eyes.

I took a spoon and thrust food into Anindhita's mouth. Miraculously, he opened his mouth.

"Some cake if you want to be bribed," I cried in my heart.

I smiled, Anindhita ate ravenously once. Well, even though the real victim is my starving lamb.

"Anin, papa find you everywhere." Suddenly Yash appeared and approached the two of us.

"Well, that's amazing!" Yash sat in the chair across from us.

"Why? Anin came up to me in the lobby. I hope his father doesn't care anymore" I said.

"Anindhita is hard to eat. The caretakers are just overwhelmed. Thank you for taking care of Anin. Ayok Anin, let's go to papa's room now."

"Wait a minute. You don't see your son eating anymore?" my protest.

Yash smiled. I felt uncomfortable because Yash just kept watching me. I saw her eyes a little teary.

"It's okay. I'm just glad Anin ate without drama."

I don't answer anymore, my focus is only on Anindhita.

"Remove! Now come with papa, huh?" the bujukku.

"No, I want to be with Aunt Maya. Just as papa is bored," whined Anindhita.

"Tante has a job with Om Akash. If not done later Om Akash angry. Anin come with papa first huh? We'll play sometime" I explained.

Anindhita nodded, then moved closer to Yash. The man said goodbye after thanking her so many times. After Yash's departure, I ordered back a bowl of rib soup as well as rice.

Just some Akash bribes came and sat in front of me.

"You eat this much?" ask Akash.

"I just ate? You want?" bargained.

"Let me order it myself." Akash got up and went to order food.

He returned with two cold drinks in his hand.

"Did the waiter here forget to clean the table? You can eat at the other table Maya, it's dirty here." Akash gestured for one of the servants to clean up the empty plate and glass next to me.

"That's Anin's ex."

"Anne? Yash brought his son again? He was, I told you to just leave it to daycare during business hours. Anin's pity is being left behind," grumbled Akash.

"Why isn't Yash looking for a nanny?"

"Not looking, but he's the one with too many criteria. Picky find a nanny. That's why it hasn't been done yet" explained Akash.

"When I was Anin's nanny how was it? Looks like Anin likes me. You get a good salary," I suggested.

Akash did not answer, he let the waiter keep his food on the table.

"What's my money lacking?" ask Akash after the waiter leaves.

"It's not so Akash. I am overwhelmed if I have to stay home. Eating, sleeping, watching tv, really like unemployment." I spent the last mouthful of my food.

"Just focus on your script, don't think about anything else first."

***

Late at night, Akah and I arrived at the apartment. I threw my body on the couch, tired.

"Want me to get some warm water?" ask Akash.

"Yes, it seems like a good idea. My feet wear heels. Goddamnit!"

"For a long time you'll get used to Maya." Akash. I heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

I closed my eyes, it was comfortable to straighten my waist. Akash who works, why am I the hassles accompany him there to here?

I waited long enough for Akash to fill the bathtub. Suddenly I felt someone sitting next to me. Must be Akas sitting on the carpet. Sure enough, when I turned my head Akash was watching me.

"Lately you've been smiling Akash a lot" I said.

"That's because of you."

"Me?" I frowned.

Suddenly Akash's phone rang. He took his phone out of his pants pocket.

"Who?" my many.

"Yash!"

"Just give it a shot."

"What's wrong?" akash asked his cousin.

Suddenly Akash thrust his phone at me. I doubt I accept it.

"Hallo, Yash?"

"May? Can you help me?" pinta Yash from across the line. His voice sounded panicked.
