After a few minutes of Richard and Rendy's return, it was Mary who followed. The middle-aged woman was already saying goodbye. David, his son, is still in hospital.
"Son Dave, you better go home first, let our Aretha take care of you" Anton suggested.
"No, Om. I want to wait for Aretha here. Om and Aunt should go home, let me take care of Aretha tonight," said David refused.
"No need, son. You just go home. You have to work tomorrow, right?" timpal Carmilla.
"Yes, Mas. You go home there! Let Mama take care of me." Aretha seemed to agree to the advice of her parents.
"No, Aunt. It's better that Auntie and Om go home, tomorrow morning Auntie who is looking after Aretha again." David cheered.
Seeing the debate made Aretha a little confused. I don't know why David was so clamorous about his wishes.
Why is he the one who is shrewd? You stubborn!
"I promise to take good care of Aretha. Om and Auntie don't have to worry." David tries to convince Aretha's parents.
They were silent for a moment. Looks like Aretha's parents are thinking, especially Anton.
"Alright, then Om and Aunt Aretha tipped yes," said Anton. "If there's anything call Om right away!" later decree.
"Good, Om. Om and Aunt be careful on the road!" reply David.
"Honey, Mami go home first, you rest yes, tomorrow morning Mami come here again," Carmila said as she kissed her daughter's forehead.
"Yes, Mi. Be careful ...." Aretha seemed to agree, although she actually felt awkward if David had to wait for her.
Anton and his wife seemed to be rushing from Aretha's nursery. David drove them forward. After a few minutes, David had returned to the room where Aretha was lying there.
"Darling, have you eaten?" david asked as he sat his body beside Aretha.
"Already," replied Aretha allowing a look towards the man.
David grabbed Aretha's hand and clasped the girl's hand tightly while looking at her closely. That gaze was long enough to make Aretha feel uncomfortable being looked at like that.
"Mas, why? How, looking at me like that?" ask Aretha while frowning.
David smiled broadly without blinking his eyes. His gaze was still locked on Aretha's face. "It's okay, honey," she replied. "You're sleepy?" tanyanya.
"Not yet, Mas." Aretha shook her head slowly.
David was silent for a moment, before he finally reopened his voice. "May I ask you something?" tanyanya asked permission.
"Of course I can. What do you want to ask?" Aretha put on a curious expression.
David was silent again. He seemed to be a little hesitant as to what he was going to ask Aretha. "Mc ... Honey, during .. you're dating Richard ...." David stopped his words for a moment, before he finished it.
"Why, Mas?" aretha asked seemed impatiently waiting so that made David slightly jerked.
"That's .. anu ...," David said confusedly.
"What?"
"Have you ever done anything with Richard?" asked David innocently which instantly made Aretha stunned by astonishment. Why did David suddenly ask like that? his inner.
"Many," answered Aretha innocently. "Road, eat together, vacation to the beach, watch and many others. Why?" he added, while obscuring activities with Richard several years ago.
"Ah, that's not what I mean" complained David.
"Want to?" Aretha again frowned.
David thought for a moment, before he finally continued what made him curious.
"I mean ...." Again David's voice was choked.
"What the hell, Mas?" Aretha was getting impatient. "You're making me curious!" the upset.
"I mean—"
Drt .. drt .. drt ....
The sound of the phone shakes immediately cut off David's conversation so that it made the man distract him, then reached into his pants pocket to take out the flat object.
The phone screen is wiped. Apparently notification of whatsapp messages coming in. David opened the message. However, just as he opened the intended message, suddenly his facial expression turned furious.
David took off Aretha's hand, which he was still holding, and stood up from his seat. The man began to move away from Aretha's reach. As he walked, he clenched one of his hands as if holding a deep anger, while the other hand was still focused on his cellphone.
Aretha who had noticed David was immediately confused because she realized the man's expression seemed so scary to her.
"What's up, Mom?" ask Aretha to know. But David did not flinch. Aretha was still watching the man who was walking outside, until he no longer showed his body.
Aretha was confused. So many questions he had in mind. What's wrong with her? Why did he suddenly change? Does he have a problem? Who actually sent that message so that it made him suddenly change? her mind at that moment.
Not even ten minutes old, David had returned with a casual expression. However, it seemed that the man had indeed deliberately harbored what he was hiding.
Ever since the appearance of David in the doorway, Aretha had already paid close attention to the man. In fact, the brown bead seemed to trace every curve of the face of the man who was walking about a meter from his place. His expression returned as usual. In fact, the man seemed to publish his smile while looking at Aretha.
Why is he so hard to guess? It had only been a few minutes that she looked so creepy, now it had suddenly turned sweet? Why am I confused?
Aretha was still staring questioningly at David. In fact, when the man had been sitting back in the chair earlier, Aretha was still staring at him, making the aware David seem so astonished. "Why, Honey?" tanyanya while staring at Aretha flat.
"What are you doing?" Aretha asked back.
"I? I'm okay" replied David.
"I see you look angry, after reading the message that entered your phone," said Aretha a little suspicious.
"Anged?" David seemed to ignore Aretha's words.
"Don't lie! What's the matter exactly?" aretha hatch.
Ck, it seems like he is suspicious of me.
"Alright, it's because there's a little problem in the company" David explained looking for reasons that are either true or not.
Aretha immediately responded with a nod of her head as if believing David's explanation.
"Yes, you're sleeping .. It's night!" david said as he pulled the blanket, then covered part of Aretha's body.
"I don't want to sleep, before you continue the conversation," whined Aretha.
"Which one?" david asked, not remembering it.
"That was before any messages went to your phone!" aretha replied that immediately made David think back to what they had previously discussed.
"Oh .. that," said David seemed to round his mouth to form the letter 'O'. "I mean ... During your time with Richard, which parts has he touched?" david answered without hesitation or hesitation. For some reason he suddenly so smoothly said that sentence, even though before he seemed so nervous.
