Chapter - 04

Arsya: Jek, are you with my wife again?

Jee Katama: You think my life is only used to follow your wife?

Arsya: calm down, I'm just asking

Jee Katama: I don't know, maybe Anjani is busy

Arsya rubbed his face roughly. Morning Anjani there is no news. His father said Anjani left the house at nine this morning and until that afternoon his wife's cellphone was still not active.

Moreover, Anjani's friends did not know where his wife was. Even if they go wherever they are, they are always together. How can Arsya not panic like this?

Indeed, since the incident a week ago, communication between him and Anjani was bland. Not as romantic and caring as usual. Anjani tends to be short and slow to respond every time he answers his chats.

It is undeniable that Arsya was disappointed when he found out that Anjani lied to him. What is Ardan like that makes his wife a liar?

But whatever the reason, this problem did not make Arsya's trust in Anjani fade. He was sure his wife wouldn't do anything wrong. Because when I was dating, there was never any oblique news about Anjani and the other boys.

Arsya closed his lunch area. Its contents are still intact, untouched at all. Arsya worries bigger than hunger.

Arsya rubbed his face with a huff, his hand reached for the cellphone that was lying on his desk. His fingers were busy working on his cellphone keyboard, preparing to press the online flight ticket booking application. Get ready to order plane tickets to Jakarta if Anjani has not received any news.

Knock knock

Arsya gasped, spontaneously turned towards Rio who tapped the wall that separated his office table.

"What is wrong?" Arsya asked as he put his cell phone back on the table.

"Don't go home yet, the boss will invite us to watch a soccer match," said the man with two children, lifting his chin while pointing at Evano - the team leader who is still focused on his computer.

Arsya nodded in resignation, "Okay, yo," said Arsya briefly. Rio raised an eyebrow seeing Arsya's condition which was not as bright as usual.

"Why you? So weak. It's also lunch why don't you eat it?”  You will be angry with your future mother, son." Rio's chirp mocking Arsya. Often bringing supplies made Arsya labeled a mother's child by his office friends.

Arsya chuckled, “Tch! It’s okay. Go the same! You go eat, before lunch is over,” said Arsya as he led Rio away.

Rio patted Arsya’s shoulder,

“Okay, I’ll go out first. Don’t forget to eat that, or your mom will get mad!”

Early in the morning Anjani was ready for college. No, no, to meet Ardan more precisely.

Today she will meet Ardan to submit his thesis chapter five, although it is two days late from the appointed time.

After breakfast, the pregnant woman, wearing a plain black T-shirt with an oversized coat and trousers, immediately rushed to the appointment place accompanied by Ardan escorted by Mr. Sur. Anjani was so excited that she forgot to leave her cellphone on the car dashboard.

Fifteen minutes of waiting, finally Ardan came.

Anjani immediately got up from his chair to welcome Ardan who came.

"Morning sir," said Anjani, smiling her best.

Ardan smiled, then invited Anjani to sit back down, “Morning. You look very happy, ”Ardan replied as he landed his butt on the chair opposite Anjani.

"It would be nice if I got good news from you!" Anjani said, making Ardan widen his smile.

"You mean ?," asked Ardan, raising an eyebrow.

"ACC my thesis!" replied Anjani enthusiastically.

Ardan scratched his sharp nose. "Hm .. How do you do it? Let me check your thesis draft first, "said Ardan. Anjani immediately gave a revised draft of her thesis.

For about 30 minutes Ardan focused on examining Anjani's draft revision of thesis. Until Anjani finished two cups of coffee because it had long been broken by Ardan.

"Okay, I ACC. You hurry up to the trial list. I also ACC in the overall draft. "

Anjani, who was gulping her coffee, immediately choked. But immediately wiped the side of herlips using a tissue. Her eyes were still wide, staring at Ardan in shock.

"Seriously, sir ?!" asked Anjani with a tense face.

Ardan nodded, "Yes. Immediately register for the trial, okay? Can't you wait to meet your husband? " Ardan teased, playing with his brows again.

Anjani covered her face with both palms of shame, "You know!" he replied in response to Ardan's teasing.

Ardan sipped his coffee which was ordered by Anjani, "Even though I still want to meet you. Why not from the start so I became a lecturer at your campus, "

Anjani nodded in agreement, "You're late," said Anjani with a smile that never subsided.

"You don't want to give me a gift like that?" Ardan asked making Anjani frown in surprise.

In the next second, Anjani immediately clapped her forehead. She should have brought gifts for Ardan as thanks.

"I'm kidding," said Ardan with a chuckle.

Anjani's face still felt uneasy. Ardan felt guilty. Even though it was his intention to make fun of the pregnant woman.

"How about the prize for your time?" Ardan said taking his own initiative from a random idea in his head.

"My time?"

"Do you have time now?"

Anjani nods.

"Let's go to the playground"

Anjani glared spontaneously, "Are you not teaching?" asked Anjani.

Ardan shook his head. Make Anjani consider Ardan's invitation.

"Hm, how about just watching it, sir? Incidentally, there is a film that I want to watch again," suggested Anjani. Ardan immediately nodded in agreement.

"Come on!"

Then they immediately rushed to the nearest mall using Ardan's car.

After watching, they stopped by the bookstore to accompany Ardan to buy books. Without Anjani realizing it, Ardan's cellphone camera has been staring at him all this time.

"Jan, look at your candid photos, are they good?" Ardan said, Anjani immediately approached him, then looked at Ardan's cell phone screen curiously.

Anjani's face immediately stiffened, politely taking Ardan's cellphone from her hand. There are already more than 50 people who have seen the photo on the Ardan instagram story. Anjani tried not to panic. Quickly deleted the photo from Ardan's instastory.

"Sorry sir, I don't want anyone to misunderstand,"

"Misunderstand? I'm single, just calm down. "

"Yes, you are single, but I already have a husband!"
