Chapter 15 – Flat Tire

"La, are you done?" asked Danilla.

"I'm ready sir!" Danilla replied with a nod.

"Danilla, you better not call me, sir. Am I your father?!" Kiano protested.

Danilla smirked, "No, you can't. Father is older than me. How can I call you by another name, sir?"

"Just call me by the name Mr. We're already married anyway."

"Yes, but it's only temporary and won't last forever," Danilla corrected.

"Okay, it's up to you," Kiano said in a flat tone.

"Sir, I'm so hungry! Looks like this father's son wants to quickly eat seblak in Bandung, "Danilla blinked her eyes while rubbing her still flat stomach.

"Okay, we're going to Bandung," Kiano said with a very flat expression.

"Let's Go!" cried Danilla. "Got it. Finally able to do a half-zombie human! Get rid of tired! Why are you playing with Danilla Anatasya! I just don't know the taste!" Danilla mumbled in her heart.

Kiano opened the door of his luxury sedan, then Danilla asked to sit in the back seat. And, he didn't protest at all. Kiano really didn't move with Danilla's strange request with the argument of cravings, because the fetus was in her womb.

Danilla sat in the back seat. She felt sleepy, on the way to Bandung. The weather was so cold that he began to drift off to sleep.

"Just buy pickles, you have to go to Bandung! Where is it now twelve o'clock at night! Is anything still open?" Kiano complained in his heart while driving his car. "But, this is my son's request. And, I don't want to make my child drool later."

The car also swept the streets past the toll road connecting the city of Bandung. Until we arrived in the city of Bandung. Kiano also looked around to find out where the sales of all of Danilla's subscriptions were. Meanwhile, Danilla was still fast asleep.

"Certainly!" Kiano said, then he parked the car.

"La, wake up."

"Are you there yet?"

"Yes."

"Come on, La."

"Okay."

Danilla woke up and blinked his eyes. Then, she got out of the car that Kiano had opened the door.

"Thank you."

Danilla got out of the car. She walked towards the seller of seblak.

"Sir, I ordered two of them."

"Sorry Mister. There's only one portion left."

"Yeah, it's fine."

Danilla sat down on a bench. The night weather is quite cold. She felt her body a little cold.

"If only there was Mr. Akbar, maybe he could warm him with a hug. But, why does fate seem to give distance and time. Is this a sign that you are not married yet?" asked Danilla's heart in a daydream and thought about Akbar. She is the most beautiful ex and can not be replaced, even though the time has passed.

"La, are you cold?"

Danilla just shook her head, but Kiano could quite read what she was thinking. Then, Kiano took off his jacket and gave it to her.

"La, are you okay?"

"Yes," Danilla looked unblinking every time Kiano asked her.

"La. Are you sure you're okay?" Kiano looked worriedly at Daniella. He was very worried about Daniel's condition.

"Don't worry too much, sir. I already told you, if I don't what's wrong!" Danilla looks really pissed off. "Why are you still asking me?!" She snorted.

Kiano was only able to look at Danilla who always looked curt at him. Even though he was trying to be the best. But, Danilla still can't accept him as her legal husband, even if it's only in the eyes of the penghulu.

"This is the truth," said the merchant's father as he handed a bowl of seblak that was served on the table.

"I don't have an appetite anymore. Now I want pickled Bogor!" Danilla looked very annoying in Kiano's eyes.

"Hold on Kiano. This is all for the sake of your child in her womb," Kiano thought, he tried to smile when his heart was very irritated with his wife's attitude.

"Why? Don't like it? Angry?!" Danilla said sarcastically at Kiano.

Kiano smiled stiffly, "It's not normal. Let's go to Bogor," Kiano kept his cool.

"You freak! What kind of human is he?" Danilla grumbled pouting her lips.

"I paid first," said Kiano.

"Up to you!" Danilla answered by turning his face away. She pursed her lips like a yellow rice cone mold. She seemed to be muttering incoherently.

For the first time, Kiano met a woman who was too expensive, like Danilla Anatasya. Even though outside there were many women who were already queuing in front of him. Meanwhile, Danilla continues to be a jerk and is getting more and more annoying, making her angry half to death. But, it was her own fault and decision.

"Danilla you are so outrageous!" Kiano muttered as he gritted his teeth with a growl.

"Gosh, you're not really sincere about buying what I want? This is not my will, but this is the will of your son!" said Danilla by leaning her face towards Kiano while glaring her eyes very sharply. She looks like her lips want to chew.

"Couldn't you call him, don't you, father?!" Kiano protested, because he was very uncomfortable. He feels like old men. Yet he was young and handsome.

"Then I have to call uncle like that?!" Danilla glared with a very spicy look.

"Damn this kid. Just make it emotional," Kiano muttered to himself.

"Then who do you want to call?!" snarled Danilla while looking at her waist in front of her.

"Don't worry. Right, that's nice to hear," Kiano answered in a flat tone.

"No. It's good to call dad! After all, the father is too stiff to be a boy! And, it looks old!" reject Danilla.

"It's up to you," snorted Kiano with a heavy tone.

"Okay," Danilla stifled a laugh. She actually likes to make Kiano angry. She wanted to know how comfortable it was that she could be a good husband to her.

"Let's go!" cried Danilla.

Kiano also gripped Danilla's knuckles tightly, even though it made Danilla uncomfortable. He felt like a kid.

"Please dech, sir. You don't have to put everything together. Am I a kindergartner who must be held by his father?!" Danilla protested.

"So that you don't fall," Kiano replied flatly without a conspicuous expression making Danilla even more annoyed and irritated.

"You guys are not clear!" mumbled Danilla snorting annoyed in a whisper.

"What did you just say?" ask Kiano

"Say nothing! And, please don't hang out like this, I'm not comfortable at all with your father being so rigid as a boy!" Danilla rolled her eyes and smiled. "I've been fed up with marriages like this for a long time!" mumbled Danilla in her heart. She felt that her world was becoming more and more limited. She wanted it to feel like she immediately turned the time machine so that everything would end quickly and be free from half-zombie humans.

"You are my wife now. So you don't argue, do you want to be a disobedient wife in the eyes of God?" said Kiano who seemed to be lecturing. Makes Danilla more and more sick to death.

"No, sir. I am embarassed. What if someone saw the two of us? What if the one who saw it was your old wife? What about your family?" said Danilla with her saccharistic question.

"You're just being noisy. There's no need to protest. It's late anyway. Aren't you tired of nagging and babbling? Noisy!" snapped Kiano who was getting hot seeing and hearing Danilla's complaint which sounded unpleasant in both ears.

"In that case, okay. I don't want to talk to you anymore! I'd better go on strike to talk to you! Point!" Danilla immediately went to sit in the back seat.

"Stone head!" Kiano cursed in a muffled tone so that Danilla couldn't hear his voice. He was only able to expand and deflate his nose, when responding to what Danilla said. He must be able to face it sincerely.

Kiano also opened the car, then Danilla sat still in the back seat. He couldn't stop Danilla who had a stone head. He would never say yes.

"Do you think I'm the personal driver," snorted Kiano in his heart.

Kiano got into the driver's seat, then he started the engine. Behind him, Daniel was fast asleep. He didn't care, even though the road was uneven. He was still sleeping.

"Oh my God, if you're not fussy, you look beautiful too," said Kiano watching Danilla from a car window. "Eh, why even praise her beautiful. Don't let me start falling in love with him."

Suddenly the car seemed to swerve, then Kiano pulled the car over to the road. He checked his car which felt wrong.

"Jeez, what happened to this car?" Kiano complained while checking his car. "Gosh the tire is flat! Damn it! Why did the tire go flat at the wrong time? Even though at this hour, where is there anyone who opens car service?" Dumel Kiano by kicking the tires of his car. "Ow!" he groaned in pain, after kicking the car.

Kiano decided to just get in the car. He'll call the tow truck tomorrow morning. He had to spend the night on the side of a deserted road. He sat down next to Daniel. He couldn't bear to see her having to sleep sitting up. He also took the initiative to lay Danilla's head on his thighs, so that the woman could sleep soundly.

"Sleep well, hopefully tomorrow will be more beautiful," said Kiano in a word of his heart.

"Hoam," Danilla yawned. "Have we arrived at Bogor?" mumbled Danilla.

Danilla blinked her eyes, she was surprised, because suddenly her head was already on Kiano's thighs.

"This is why you are even here? Not a mod, right?" Danilla probed suspiciously, she was afraid that Kiano would touch her. "Remember in our contract, there is no such thing as intimate contact with each other. Even a kiss or something!"

Kiano smiled wryly, "I won't touch you, because you're not my type!"

"That's good, then. Why don't you keep driving anymore?"

"The tire of the car went flat, and I didn't bring the spare tire," Kiano replied with a shaky breath.

"Flat?" Danilla repeated wide-eyed. "How come? So how do we get home, sir?"

"Do not panic. We can wait tomorrow morning until the tow truck arrives," Kiano said with a yawn. He was actually starting to get drowsy. But, he had to endure it.

"But, I'm hungry, sir!" Danilla whined, feeling her stomach twist.

"Gosh, this kid is a nuisance," Kiano grumbled in his heart.

Danilla pursed her lips, she looked really sick to her stomach. When, Kiano wanted to put her palm on Danilla's stomach.

PLAQUE!

A slap floated on Kiano's right cheek until it felt very hot, but he tried to contain his emotions. Kiano's patience was being tested. He could only breathe heavily.

"I have a snack. Wait a minute, I'll take it up front."

Kiano got out of the car. Suddenly there were some thugs blocking him. Inside Daniel was terrified. He asked Danilla to stay there and not come out of there.

"Hand over the money and your car keys, along with other valuables!" snapped the thug by pointing a sharp knife at Kiano.

"Never! I'm not afraid of your threats!" Kiano said by raising one of his eyebrows.

The thugs laughed slyly, then they began to arrange a plot to attack Kiano who was alone. One of the thugs was banging on the backseat of the car door. Danilla didn't open the door. She locked the car door tightly, even though he was so scared inside that she was sweating profusely. Danilla can only pray in her heart.

"Oh my God, I beg you. Save us from those who want evil intentions. Amen, "then she continued to pray hoping for a miracle to come.
