Hate You, Love You
Sympathized

Amara did look cheerful, but Danis' heart said something else. There was something wrong about the girl he loved. It has been more than half a year since Danis left Amara. But although the two are separated by distance and time, the love that Danis feels never decreases for Amara. Which happens the opposite. Danis's feelings grew stronger on her fiance. Amara is the reason Danis is eager to pursue her dreams. Only for Amara's sake, Danis worked hard.

After making that video call, Danis's longing became more so. He did not concentrate on working because Amara's beautiful face was always reflected in his head. Even now Danis is busy with her own head. He is currently enjoying lunch with his Indonesian friends. And there was Karina there who kept paying attention to Danis' silence.

"Is everything ok?" (Is everything okay?) Karina asked worriedly. The girl was very gentle and attentive.

Danis flinched from her daydream and smiled faintly at Karina. "Yeah.I'm fine" Danis replied.

"really ? You look uninspired today" Karina continued.

"Mmmhhh. actually." Danis paused. He hesitated a little to tell a story.

"I know it ! (I already know ! ) I know you're not okay" said Karina, clenching her hand. He was happy because his guess was right. And what Karina did made Danis laugh because of it.

"So what happened ? Job problems ? Is there anything I can help you with ?" Ask Karina streak.

Danis shook her head slowly. "It's not about work" Danis replied.

"Oh," said Karina with a faint smile. He stood up because his feelings became erratic all of a sudden. Karina could already guess what Danis was really thinking.

And sure enough, Danis also told about Amara who moved house. Though Danis felt Amara did not need to do that because the distance of the house and campus is not so far away.

Karina listened carefully, not once did she cut off the man's words. Karina let Danis tell her story to the end.

"May I give you an opinion ?" Ask Karina carefully.

Danis nodded her head, "yes of course," he replied.

"I guess... Your fiancee may be learning to live independently. He will get used to living apart from his family. That way, Amara will not find it difficult when he comes here later. He will not miss his home always. Maybe it is like that" explained Karina. He tried to give positive thoughts to Danis, even though he actually felt pain right in the heart.

I want Karina to give negative input so that Danis can forget her fiance a little. But Karina is not that kind of bad girl. So he keeps his own feelings tight which have been presumptuous to grow since the first time he met Danis for the first time.

Danis's face that had been looking grim, was now cheerful. Danis felt that what Karina said had a point. "Thanks Karin, you are a very good friend" Danis said.

"Woi y'all are talking together !" Satirize one of their friends.

"Hahahah, you guys discussed the ball game only. I don't understand !" Karina's law reasoned.

"So I talked about food with Danis. Aren't you, Dan ?" Karina asked with a laugh.

"Hu'um," Danis replied confirming.

"Ah sorry... Let's talk about the picnic plan this weekend" the person said again

"Come !! What if we go hiking ?" Karina asked excitedly. And the girl didn't realize that Danis was watching.

Danis smiled faintly as she watched Karina speak. He was grateful in his heart for getting a friend who always had a positive influence on him. Karina was so comfortable to tell stories. The girl never judged or thought badly. He always supported Danis under any circumstances. "I'm so lucky to have a friend like you. Amara will also definitely like you very much, "the inner Danis in her heart.

While in Indonesia the time has shown at one night. Yes, Jakarta and Boston have a time difference of 12 hours. And the time in Indonesia runs faster than the city in the American continent.

Amara laid her body in a new bed and new room. Now he sleeps alone. Amara thought sleeping alone would make her comfortable and free but in fact until 1 am, she still could not close her eyes.

Either because of fatigue or because he was not used to the new place. This was the first time Amara lived in a place that was not her parents' home.

Amara turned her body and stared at the door. He was eager to go out and knock on Gio's room. Amara wanted to ask if the man could not sleep like him ?

But unfortunately Amara can't do it all. Gio's attitude changed after the event. He didn't say much, and his face looked bent. Looks like Gio is in a bad mood. "It must be because of Gio's soy sauce," muttered Amara slowly. He looks for his own reasons because of Gio's change in attitude towards him.

Before long, her phone shook and Amara immediately grabbed it. On the screen there is the name Danis and emoji with a picture of the camera, indicating that her fiance is sending a photo.

Amara quickly opened it. He could not wait to see the photo sent by his girlfriend. Amara's smile was lost when she saw the picture of Danis not alone. There was a girl who smiled towards the camera while showing her finger that showed the number two.

Amara knew about the girl because Danis told her about her several times. Danis said Karina helped her a lot. "The spirit of staying in a new home, greetings from Karina. We're having another lunch rame-rame" Danis wrote in the caption. And before long, Danis also sent other photos that showed that there were many people at the table who were having lunch together.

"Okay have fun, honey. I want to go to bed first" replied Amara. Then he sent me a picture of him wrapped in a blanket.

"Toy.. Hoek..," Amara tried to get her entrails out in the toilet in her room. His gestational age has stepped on 7 months but he still often feels nausea in the morning.

Originally Amara was astonished, but then she remembered what Mother Gio had told her a while ago. "Mama used to still often feel nauseous when the stomach was very big," Amara thought that the baby she contained really resembled Gio when her husband was still in the womb of his mother.

"It's a hassle" muttered Amara slowly. He wanted to get up and pick up a tissue but his nauseous stomach forced Amara to stay crouching against the toilet.

"Nice again ?" Tanya Gio who suddenly came with a box of tissues. The man already looks handsome in his work suit. He rolled up his shirt to his arm and crouched down next to Amara. Gio gently massaged Amara's nape and wiped his wife's wet lips without any disgust at all.

"Is it feeling better ?" Ask Gio worriedly.

Amara nodded her head in response.

"Let's help me stand up" said Gio, holding Amara's arm against falling. He pressed the flush button on the toilet.

Gio asked Amara to return to his room. He sat his wife on the edge of the bed, and Gio gave Amara a glass of warm water. "Drink," said Gio, and Amara obeyed him.

"Is it better ?" Gio asked attentively.

"I-yes, thank you," replied Amara stammering.

"Thank God, let's have breakfast. I bought you bread. Later in the day I'll ask Bi Marni (her mother's housekeeper) to shop and fill our empty refrigerator,"

Amara does not respond, he is busy observing Gio who is now changing like the usual Gio. Attentive and no longer cranky like yesterday.

"Mara ?" Gio asked astonished as Amara kept looking at him. Making Gio's chest pound faster than before.

"Ah. it's okay," said Amara briefly.

"Gio, if Bi Marni comes here, then what about your mother ?" Ask Amara, considering Bik Marni was her father-in-law's confidant.

"Bi Marni only helps with shopping. Someone will help you in this house, but not him" replied Gio.

"Ooh okay..."

"Here you go, don't think about it. Let's get ready and have breakfast, "gio and Amara agreed.

"I picked it up at 5pm, yes" Gio told Amara, who had just gotten out of his car. And still as before, Gio took down Amara quite won from the gate of the campus. Amara still doesn't want anyone to know about her relationship with Gio.

"Yes" replied Amara and quickly left Gio's car before anyone saw him.

Upon arrival at the campus gate, Amara's shoulders are embraced by someone who turns out to be her cousin, Dea.

"Oh my goodness, De ! It's a shock !" Said Amara while patting her chest which is now pounding fast.

"Basic granny!" Dea Cibir.

"What about Gio ? Still angry ?" Ask Dea curiously.

"No, it's normal again,"

"Mmm Ara, I think Gio is angry because he is jealous of you. I feel sorry for Gio ? he's a really nice guy" Dea said with her face turned soft and Amara was very unhappy. Amara doesn't like it when her cousin cares about the man who has done her a bad thing.

"Jealous ? There-there is ! It's impossible, De. He's just nitip his seed in me. There are no feelings between us. If you feel sorry for him, just take it !"
