At work Adam did not go straight home, but gathered first with his colleagues in a cafe near the office. They ordered coffee and talked to relieve fatigue after a day when their brains were used to thinking. Especially tomorrow is the weekend so they can be as relaxed as possible.
Adam glanced at the watch in his hand, it turned out that it had shown at 17:15 it meant he had to end his gathering that afternoon.
"Looks like we should've gotten over this chat first." Adam said to all his friends.
They all looked towards Adam.
"What's Dam?" Ask Andi wonder.
"At five o'clock, what don't you want to go home? Just a little Maghrib time." Adam Obviously.
They all saw the clock in each other's hands.
"Oh yes, it was a long time ago that we were here. It's so exciting that we don't know the time." One of Adam's friends.
They nodded in allowing.
"Yes you're right." The guy who wears glasses.
"Yes, I'm going home first. Here's the money, please pay to the cashier. Today let me buy it." Adam gave a red note to one of his friends.
"Well, thank you very much Bro for the deal today." Andi said with pleasure.
If every time gathered like this, Adam also often treat them.
"Thank you, Dam." The man in the glasses again.
"Yes, equally. I'm ahead." Adam then stood up from his seat.
"Be careful Dam." Say one of them before Adam leaves.
Adam simply nodded in response and left the four of them.

Adam arrived at his house at six o'clock less, hurriedly he went into his room to bathe and also performed Maghrib prayers. Finished with his prayer, Adam decided to leave the room. He met his parents who were watching television.
"Tumben Bu is a lonely house." Adam said as he sat himself down. His eyes glowed in search of Zahira's whereabouts.
"What do you mean, son?" Ask the mother who pretends not to know what the son is saying.
"Why are there only Mom and Dad." Adam answered without mentioning Zahira.
"Who else should there be? Usually, there's only Mom and Dad." Say Mom with ease.
While the father he gave a smile to hear the wife who was pranking her son.
Adam took his breath. "I mean Adam Zahira Ma'am." Adam answered later.
"Oh.. Zahira, speaking of dong from earlier if you're looking for your wife..." Mom paused her words for a moment. "Zahira went to his parents' house." Just keep mum again.
Adam's forehead wrinkled. "To his parents' house, why Ma'am?" Ask Adam to wonder.
"She wanted to sleep there." Answer Mom briefly.
"Do you know why Zahira sleeps at her parents' house?" Urge Adam out of fear that his wife will leave him.
Mom shook her head. "Mom doesn't know because Mom doesn't. What's clear is that your wife told Mom that she wanted to sleep in her mother's house." His word.
I deliberately didn't tell Adam the details. Let the son know the taste, because this morning had dared to ignore his daughter-in-law in front of his eyes.
"So for tonight, you have to sleep alone, son without being with your wife." Dad's voice is warming up to Adam.

After completing Maghrib prayers, Zahira invited Akmal to dinner. This time Zahira cooks corn, salted fish and also eggplant sambal. As for his rice Zahira made corn rice. Zahira also arranged it on a mat in front of the television.
"Let's eat, the food is ready!!" Zahira shouted to Akmal who was inside the room.
Akmal immediately came out of his room.
"Well, eat well." Akmal said look at the cuisine that Zahira made. Akmal sat in front of Zahira cross-legged.
"Yes dong bakwan maize is the same as sambel eggplant is your favorite, so Mbak deliberately make this." Zahira smiled at her sister's reaction.
"Thank you, my dear mother." Akmal said with a big smile.
"Enak ngatain Akmal recalcitrant, where ever Akmal like that." His words did not accept.
"Pretend to forget, before the wedding you are really nosy with Ma'am, hayo ngaku?" Todong Zahira's.
"Hehe.it was Ma'am, but now it's not anymore.'' Akmal answered while grinning.
"No, because you don't live here anymore." Answer Zahira cynically.
"Well, that already knows." Sahut Akmal lightly then plucked the cornbasket that had arouse his taste.
"Oh yes, by the way Adam why not come here, Ma'am?" Ask Akmal.
"No!" Zahira replied briefly.
"Why?" Ask Akmal.
"Udah, don't speak your mouth. Let's eat Mama's hungry." Reciprocity.
Akmal just nodded and did not speak anymore. Akmal eats very well because Zahira's cuisine is very good. Suddenly someone knocked on the door, Zahira accidentally closed the door because there were only two of them in the house.
Geck.. Geck.. Geck..
"Sir, someone's knocking on the door." Akmal said in between his meals.
"Let Mbak open, you just continue eating you." Zahira said as she put down her plate.
Akmal nodded.
Zahira got up from her seat and walked forward to see who was coming. When opening the door..
"Mas Adam's.." Said surprised.
Adam knocks on Zahira's door, intending to take Zahira home. Why his wife is so childish must sleep in her in-laws' house. Not asking for permission, Adam thought.
"Hm." Answer Adam. "Well, you slept at Mom's house to run away from you?" Ask Adam with a flat face.
"No, who ran away. The people I sleep here want to accompany Akmal because the same mother went to Mr. Dhe's house." Answer Zahira.
"Master and Dad left?" Adam raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Yeah." Zahira nodded. "They stayed at Mr. Dhe's house for two days, so I deliberately slept here anyway so Akmal didn't go into a crawl." Zahira.
Adam breathed a sigh of relief that Zahira did not run away from home. "So why don't you tell Mas?" Adam asked while touching Zahira's forehead.
Placed..
"Oh." Zahira rubbed his forehead which was painful due to the flick of the handsome man.
"Hobbies really nyentil my forehead, does not hurt anything." Pissed Zahira.
"Involuntarily, it's a gift for you to want to sleep at Mom's house without saying goodbye to your husband." Adam answered with a faint smile.
"Gift kok another centilan cake." Gerutu Zahira is upset.
"Jawab first, why don't you tell Mas if you want to sleep here." Adam Say.
"Lho, um Mas Adam was not told by Mother what, if I would stay at Mother's house?" Zahira asked with a confused face.
Adam sighed for a moment, apparently he was being lied to by his mother. Her mother was very calm when Zahira was not home.
"Mom's not the real story." Answer Adam.
Akmal who had been waiting for Zahira was surprised, actually who the hell came until his brother was not back and forth. Out of curiosity Akmal decided to look ahead.
"Mas Adam, why wasn't she told to come in? Even stand in front of the door." Akmal said he saw his two brothers.
Adam and Zahira looked at the teenager together.
