Zico smiled to himself. The shadow of meeting Nisha makes her happy. He stared at the large package in his hand. That package he bought for Nisha. She hoped Nisha would like it.
“Let Me take Sir.” Gerry offers to carry the suitcase and parcel that Zico is holding. But Zico just handed over the suitcase.
“I'll bring this myself.”
“Ta..but Sir..”.
Zico leaves Gerry who is still stuttering. He immediately headed towards the arrival and looked for the driver who was picking them up.
“Take me to apartment.”
“Not to office Sir?”
Gerry asked in surprise. For several years Gerry was very understanding of the habits of his boss. After returning from an out-of-town assignment, the boss will definitely go directly to the company and deliver their work to important people in the company. Then you will ask everyone to give you their idea. Moments like this will scare managers. They will be confused to think of various ideas. If there are inappropriate thoughts, the boss will expel the person and not include him in the next meeting. That means the person will not be in that position anymore.
“No. You also went home. Rest at home.” Zico answered short. Gerry just agreed to Zico's answer, not daring to ask further let alone deny it.
Gerry wondered, what made his boss change his habits? Why would his boss want to quickly return to his apartment? Is it because of that woman? Aahh, it's impossible. The woman was not important to her boss at all. Then what pack did the boss bring? Is that a souvenir? Who for? It's impossible for his extended family, right? Their relationship is deteriorating due to the last case that time. Who is that gift for? Don't tell that to the little lady? Gerry shook his head. He wished he didn't have to see the woman again. It was still clear in his memory how panicked he was in the middle of the night to find this food - it was only for women whose position was much lower than his. Really hurt his pride. Yet he could not voice his opinion, as the one who ordered all of that was his cold boss, huh.
The driver delivered Zico first. With a little run, he passed through the lobby and approached the elevator. A happy feeling rose up in his chest. He wanted to meet the woman soon. Zico opened the apartment door with passion. She imagined she would see Nisha, who was smiling happily when she saw her and scattering into her arms. But what he imagined did not come true. The apartment was very quiet. There doesn't seem to be life in it.
“Nis...Nisha..” Zico calls out Nisha's name while looking for her in every room. But the woman did not look everywhere, as well as Miss Retno. Where's everybody going? Feelings of annoyance and worry are mixed. Zico pulled out his phone and called Nisha. She called him repeatedly, but Nisha did not answer. Zico's level of annoyance and concern is growing. Finally he decided to call Retno. On the first ring, Retno picked up her phone.
“Iya Sir?”
“Where is he?”
“Nona?”
“Iya.”
“We're in a pregnancy class you registered yesterday for Miss. We'll be home soon.”.
“Wait there, I'll pick you up.” Zico hung up. Guilt returned to his heart. Yesterday she could not accompany Nisha pregnancy check-up, today she also could not accompany Nisha to her first pregnancy class. What kind of father-to-be is he? Zico cursed himself.

From a distance Zico could already recognize Nisha. The woman sat in the chair alone. While around him filled with couples who are waiting for the presence of their children. Nisha looked around her sadly. What the hell is he thinking? Was the woman sad because she was not accompanied by him?
Zico running around. He wanted to fly and embrace the woman. Eliminate the sadness that was implied in his eyes.
“Honey...” Zico comes closer and hugs Nisha. It seemed like he could not distinguish between desire and reality. He actually hugged the woman in his chest. Nisha was silent getting that warm hug. Not a word came out of his mouth. Maybe the woman was too surprised to make a sound.
“Have a long wait?” Zico let go of his embrace and looked at Nisha who was still in a daze.
“Hem..”.
“Where is Retno? Why not accompany you?”
“Eh, um.. to.. to toilet...”.
“Why not look me in the eye? Aren't you happy to see me home?”
“Ti...no... I..I'm happy...”.
“But your face does not look happy.”
“Mung..maybe because tired?”
“Ti..none. Just listening to material.”
“Material?”
“Iya. This is a book and also a soft file.” Nisha showed me the book in her hand.
“Sorry yes can not accompany you anymore.”
“It's okay. It really didn't do anything about kok.”
Nisha tried to smile cheerfully. But Zico still saw the look of sadness. It seems Nisha is still carried away by feelings. Zico embraced his shoulders, trying to comfort him.
“Oh this is her husband Ma'am Nisha?”
Zico and Nisha turned their heads together when they heard the voice. Nisha sees some mothers approaching her and Zico. They seem to be very curious about Zico. From the beginning of pregnancy classes in the beginning, the group of mothers has been kepo with his life. They saw Nisha coming without being accompanied by the husband, so that negative thoughts arose in their minds.
“Include Me Zico, husband Nisha.” Zico extended his hand to one of the mothers he considered to be the leader of the society.
“That's handsome once. Sorry sir, we were curious about Nisha Ma'am. All the mothers here come between husbands, but only Sister Nisha is alone. “
“Iya, I just came from out of town. So he could not accompany her. In the future I promise to always accompany him. Thanks for the attention.” Zico smiled coldly. Possessively he clasped Nisha's hand and led her away from the wasp.
“Sorry yes. It must be hard today for you.” Zico apologized again.
“Cockwise. It's really okay. All the attitudes of the mothers I consider as a form of their attention to me..”.
“Not a form of attention. But as gossip material. I promise in the next meeting, I will definitely accompany you.”
“Hehe, yes thank you.” Nisha smiled brightly. Makes Zico crazy. I want him to kiss those lips! Zico tried to distract him.
“What do you eat?”
“Serah.”
“No one wants to eat?” Nisha shook her head.
“You want to go for a walk?”
Hearing the words of the streets made Nisha's eyes sparkle. Nisha quickly nodded her head. But then he hesitated.
“But you still have to work..”
“I didn't work today. I'm yours.” Zico flicked as he rolled his eyes. Makes Nisha blush.
“Ta...but what about Retno?”
“I'll book a taxi online for him. He can go home. Today I'll take care of you.” Zico smiled very sweetly. Nisha looked at him blushing.
“So, where are we going today Ratuku?”
