Hate You, Love You
Caught

Amara sat in front of a mirror, staring at her own reflection. Now he was alone in his room, thinking about what he did not dare to do. In the end, Amara said nothing to Gio. There was something in her that made Amara unable to do it.

"There's still plenty of time to tell Gio. You just need the right time to do that" Amara told herself. Looking for justification for what Amara did. That is not to say to Gio about his departure plan later.

***

Time is like running, it passes very quickly. Until it does not feel baby Evan was 6 months old. The time Amara spent in taking care of her son did not feel heavy because Gio really helped her in taking care of Evan.

And during that time, Gio also still sends money to Amara's account. The amount is in accordance with the conditions that his wife requested. But Gio knew never once Amara used the money.

Because they take care of Evan together, Amara and Gio's relationship improves even if only limited to parenting together. Even Amara began to show her motherly side. Evidently with Amara who stayed up late when Evan caught a fever a few nights ago. Though it has become an unwritten agreement if the night is the time for Gio to take care of their child.

At that time Amara woke up from her sleep because she heard the sound of baby crying from across her room. Amara came out of her room and walked to Evan's room, which was right next to Gio's. There was even a door connected in their room.

When Amara opened the door, she saw Gio holding baby Evan to stop crying. Gio is not alone, there is also sister Rani who helps him. The nurse had just warmed up Evan's stock of ASI.

"Heeemmm. hemmm." Gio hummed, to calm down. But he stopped when he looked at the door and it turned out that Amara was there.

"Mara ? Sorry Evan's crying woke you up," Gio said with a guilty-looking face.

"Mmmhh no pa-pa. Evan why?" ask Amara, because usually Evan will sleep soundly at night and wake up if you want to drink milk. Once full, he will go back to sleep. Evan already has a sleep pattern like people in general. No longer staying up as before.

"Here you go, her body is a little warm," Gio replied with a deep sense of anxiety. Gio loved his son very much.

"You want to change to fondle him ?" tawar Amara's.

Gio was dumbfounded for a while. He really did not expect if Amara offered it because as far as Gio knows, his wife will face a test at his campus tomorrow morning

"Don't you have a test tomorrow ?"

"Hu 'um... But it's okay, let me try to calm him down" replied Amara.

"Yes I think it's a good idea" sister Rani said.

"Well, we can try." Slowly, Gio gave it to Amara.

Evan's baby was still crying when Gio turned him on Amara's lap. A few moments later, he calmed down. Amara's curse is like a powerful mantra.

"Sstt. shhtt... Dear. dear..," muttered Amara while fondling.

"What did I say ? The mother's decapitation was the best" said Sister Rani.

Gio nodded slowly confirming. He watched Amara with a faint smile. Gio knew behind Amara's hard and judes attitude, stored a gentle, affectionate nature. To make Gio's feelings even deeper on his wife.

"I think I should sit down" said Amara.

Gio gasped, and returned to his consciousness. "Ten-of course," said Gio. She knew that Amara would breastfeed her child.

Quickly, Gio led Amara to the sofa that was there. Then Gio took some pillows to hold Amara's arm so as not to feel sore. He helped Amara to sit comfortably.

In the end baby Evan wants to sleep but with Amara who holds him while sitting. "Evan is asleep, the nurse can rest," said Amara with a soft voice so that Evan did not wake up.

"Yes, let us take care of him" Gio added.

"You too, Amara. Try putting Evan in his box. Maybe he'll sleep if you do. After that let me take care of him," continued Gio later.

Amara shook her head slowly as a repulsion, "wild like this for a while. You better rest, Gio. I'm sure you haven't slept at all,"

Hearing that, Gio felt happy in his heart. That way, tonight Gio can be close to Amara. "What's wrong, I'll be here accompanying you,"

"If so I rest first huh, Bu." Rani resigned because she felt it would be better to leave Amara and Gio alone.

Amara observes the face of Gio sleeping next to her. The man had ruined Amara's life, but now he knew that Gio was a very good man. Seen from his tired face that fell asleep. The man was never angry even though Amara was so annoying. Suddenly a thought flashed through Amara's head. "The woman you love must be very lucky to get a man as good as you" he said in his heart. Amara doesn't know if that woman is her.

Since that night, Amara's views on Gio have changed. Until he keeps his plans secret later.

***

Today is Sunday, Amara is off for college and Gio is off for work. The man was preoccupied with keeping Evan who was increasingly active chattering and laughing because Gio teased him. While Amara is making MPASI in the kitchen assisted by his household assistant.

"I came.." Suddenly a girl came with two paper bags in her hand. Who else if not Dea, Amara's cousin.

"Hi" said Amara, smilingly welcoming her cousin.

"I brought avocado and baby orange to my beloved ponkanakan" said Dea.

"Thank you Aunty Dea" said Amara, imitating a child's voice.

This is not the first time Dea has come. The girl often comes to see Amara and Evan. He loved Evan as his own son. Since Amara is still a girl his relationship with Dea is very close, no wonder if now they also study at the same campus.

In the past, Amara once felt embarrassed when Dea worked with Gio. He did not like Dea close to the man who had done evil to him but now Amara can accept the fact.

And Amara did not mind him because Dea knew himself enough. Dea will hang out with Evan if Amara is there. Dea wouldn't dare if there was only Gio. The girl also still works in Gio's office. Sometimes they come for work.

It's just that Amara doesn't know if her cousin is sympathetic to Gio. He admired the man in silence. Yes, Dea keeps her feelings alone.

"Evan's food is ready ?" Tanya Gio who suddenly came to the kitchen. "Well you, De ?" Ask Gio later.

"Yes boss, you used to want to see me," replied Dea who immediately teased Evan.

"It's ready soon" replied the housekeeper.

"Let me take a bribe, yes" said Dea who really likes Evan.

"Evan we will feed, you can take a shower or do whatever you want" Amara told Gio.

Gio smiled and agreed. "All right, I'm gonna take a shower. Please take care of Evan for a while," he said, handing Evan over to Amara, even though Dea was ready to receive him

.

Dea lowered her head, hiding her disappointed smile. Even today Gio has not kept his promise to invite Dea to eat together. Though disappointed but Dea held it. He was also self-conscious if Gio could not be achieved.

It's not like Dea doesn't know herself. As Amara's cousin, Dea desperately hides her feelings for months alone. She knows that Amara and Gio's relationship is improving until Dea thinks Amara has accepted Gio as her husband.

"Ara, let me feed Evan," Dea pinta with a big smile. Hiding his heartbreak.

"Alright..," Amara agreed.

They sat together in the back garden. Feed Evan while enjoying the view of koi fish pond. Evan suddenly sneezes until the food in his mouth spouts, soiling Dea's clothes.

"I'll get you some wet wipes" said Amara as she passed into the house.

When Amara left, her phone on the table shook and a message came in. Unintentionally Dea read the message that appeared there. The message came from Danis. He asked Amara with such friendly words.

Dea's eyes bulged with surprise, she grew even more shocked when she heard Amara's sudden words before her. "please... Don't say anything to Mama or Gio. I-I just need time to say their pepper," said Amara with her face that looked tense because it had just been caught.
