After finishing checking the location of the project, Ale returned to the office to take care of the financial files according to his position as a CFO (Chief financial officer) in the office.
At the sight of the clock on his wrist Ale gasped.
"It turns out it was 5 pm," he said and immediately cleaned up all the files he had just opened.
"I went home to the apartment tonight Van, you used the office vehicle, sorry," he said before stepping out.
"Ck, I'm sorry about everything sir," Evan grumbled that he was really moved by the attitude of his young boss. "Low profile," he muttered again, then walked after Ale.
Meanwhile in Ale's apartment.
Aisha had been awake from her sleep. He finished cleaning his body. Wearing a loose navy suit, Aisyah sat leaning on her bed while fondling her button smartphone.
"His husband? Do I really have a husband?" murmured with the tip of the eyelid that began to condense.
"Dad, Mother. Sorry Aisyah for taking such a big decision without asking your permission and blessing, sorry. Aisha promised to tell you about this marriage" she promised herself.
Aisyah intends to contact the mother through her voice call. But he paused when he heard the sound of the button beeping and the door was open.
Aisyah smiled. I don't know why there was a happy letter when he saw the husband did not renege on his promise to return to the apartment tonight.
"It was like seeing Dad coming home from the field with a tent of his fish" he said in his heart.
"Sorry it's taken you too long to wait. Was there a problem during my stay?" ask him with a guerrilla view throughout the corner of this apartment room.
Aisyah shook her head then grabbed the briefcase from Ale's hand.
"Father must be tired" he said before passing into the room.
Ale nodded, then entered.
"Are you not eating today? All the food was still intact," he asked in surprise when he opened the refrigerator and it turned out that all the food was still in the previous position when he explained to Aisyah this afternoon.
Aisyah shakes.
"Why?" ask again while walking closer to the wife.
"And I've said, I can not use the cooking tools that you mentioned earlier, one of them can fire later," complained Aisyah by turning her face away.
"You hungry?"
"What kind of question is that, of course I'm hungry Boss" he said in his heart.
"I'll send you a delivery, call me if anyone comes!" pinta Ale then grabbed the phone on the nightstand. Not wanting to linger alone in the room, Aisyah chose to go out by closing the door to their room.
"Sir, someone came" he said, knocking on the door of his room.
Ale opened the door immediately. But looking at Aisyah who was now covering both eyes with her two hands Ale was astonished. He started scanning his appearance from end to end.
"Oh my God, I'm sorry" he said quickly, then went back into his room.
"That's indomitable," Ale smiled shyly as he looked at the reflection of his body in front of the mirror. He was just wearing his boxer.
"It's just right that Aisyah closed both her eyes, huh," he said and stepped out.
"Who's coming?" tanyakanya. Aisyah shakes.
"Why not look?" Ale pulled Aisyah's hand slowly to come with him.
"You can see it from here" he pointed it at a small hole blocked by glass.
Aisyah nodded, she hurriedly hid as Ale opened the door.
"Eat! You must be very hungry, right," he said while putting two sterefoam on the dining table.
"Sir," Aisyah ventured to convey the uneg-unity in her heart.
"Hmm," Ale replied without turning his head as he was focusing on his laptop.
"Can I go back to work?"
Aisyah's question immediately made Ale end his activities. He closed his laptop screen and stared intensely at Aisyah.
Aisyah shakes.
"Do you have an account number?" ask again.
"Father misunderstood, that's not what I meant. I have savings," the protest did not accept.
" Yes, tell me what the number is!" pinta Ale again.
"I want to work, not ask pity sir! Besides here I also do not say anything, morning waiting afternoon, afternoon waiting afternoon, then until last night you go home. I'm sorry sir" he lamented.
"I will fulfill all your needs Aisha, everything, whatever you want I will give you,"
"I am the backbone for my family in the village of Pak. My sisters are all still very much in need of a lot of fees for school and college. My father was just a farm worker, if I don't work what about my sister's school?" he said with a sad face when he remembered about their difficult life in the village.
"Give me your father's account number! Now that they are all my responsibility," Ale no longer wanted to argue with his little wife.
Yes, Aisyah who is still 23 years old while she has reached the age of 35 years, the age difference is quite far between the two.
Ale soon headed for mobile banking on his smartphone.
"For work, we'll talk about it another time. But not anytime soon, I'm really busy at the office, okay?" Ale patted Aisyah's arm softly.
Aisyah's phone rang.
"Dad," he muttered still not answering the voice call from the father.
"Luck it, the promise will not make a sound" said Ale who seemed to know the meaning of the wife's eyes that look hesitant before receiving a voice call from his father. Ale pointed his two fingers back to convince Aisyah.
"Assalamu'alaikum Yeah. Sorry Aisyah can't send money now, Aisyah hasn't paid well. Sorry,"he said with teary eyes.
"You said what the hell Ai, father even confused about the amount of money you send, why so much? You didn't send it wrong, did you?" ask the Father.
Aisyah turned to Ale who was now pretending to be busy with her phone when she was focusing on hearing Aisyah's conversation with her father.
"Ai, why silence? You're okay, right?"
"Aisyah is fine Well, yes there is more sustenance for Father, Mother and also sisters," he regretted having to lie. A lie that will inevitably lead to other lies.
"Huh," Aisha exhaled her tired breath. Just now he was going to thank Ale, it turns out that the husband had already moved from his seat.
Morning at the dinner table.
"Tonight I go home to my parents' house, if there is an emergency situation call me immediately, I must come immediately," Aisyah nodded then put down her spoon. They had breakfast this morning.
Ale was getting ready for the office, but the mother asked him to come home tonight. Ale did not want to ask a lot, for him the more questions it will be the longer the defendant for the Mama.
"When are you coming back, sir?" ask Aisyah to make sure.
"Tomorrow morning before going to the office I will stop here. Wh why? Are you afraid to be here alone?"
"I am still a stranger to places and residents here sir, lying really if I say not afraid," replied Aisyah annoyed.
"Pretend not to know what he looks like" he said again.
"Relax, I'll accompany you until you fall asleep,"
Aisyah frowned confusedly.
"You just wait for tonight, I'll go first,"
"I left first, da" he said, mimicking Ale's words as he closed the door to his apartment.
