He really did not understand what happened to Sakti. And if it has to be like this, pretend like he's okay. Will he be able to ?

Kirana got up and started to clean the table.

"Let me clean Ma'am," Kirana's housekeeper came and helped.

"Still Bi, I go up first huh," Kirana stepped her foot up the steps towards the room. He grabs a cell phone and writes down a message, the plan is to meet Renata for lunch together today.

After the message was sent, Kirana opened her social media for the past few days she never opened her sosmed application because the problem with Sakti seized her mind and heart.

Display all social media Kirana back to the initial view, must register back first before proceeding.

Kirana scrunched her forehead did not understand, usually the main page directly plastered on the screen of her phone but now after trying to login was not able to. "Oh my goodness, who would hack a housewife's account?" annoyed.

Not wanting to take a headache, Kirana put down her phone and returned to doing her activities.

That night as usual they had dinner together full of theatrics. Sakti will only be good when in front of his children even call Kirana with the word 'honey' as usual.

"Pa, how long has Papa been in service ? Celia's birthday is Saturday" Davin said.

"Hmm Papa doesn't know baby, hopefully can go home when Celia's birthday. You can go with Dareel and Mama first. Buy the best gift for Celia huh,"

"Do you want service ?" The inner Kirana in her heart was astonished because Sakti had not said anything to her.

"Papa did not come not exciting, I do not like," said Dareel annoyed with thumping his lips.

"Later Papa come home we go for a walk, take Celia too. What if we go swimming ?" Sujuk Sakti to his two children.

"Okay, Papa is the best" said her two children together and embraced Sakti.

Kirana could only look in silence without daring to say, because whatever she said would be wrong in her husband's eyes.

***

"You want to go to the service ?" Kirana asked when she saw Sakti packing in her room.

"Hemm" Sakti replied without looking at his wife.

"Where ?"

"Sulawesi," answered Sakti briefly.

"How long ? How about a big suitcase?"

"I don't know, it looks like Monday I'm going straight to the office."

"Once, did Bian come too ?"

"Don't you prefer that your husband isn't home ?" Tanya Sakti with a cynical tone of voice.

Kirana did not answer, she was silent. Kirana knew whatever she was going to say would Sakti answer with even more hurtful words.

"Why silence ? Isn't that right ?" Sakti asked again with a sharp look at Kirana who was standing not far from him.

"I don't know what to say, 'cause what I said would go wrong in your eyes. So please whatever your mind is," replied Kirana with a wry smile and was about to leave when Sakti suddenly blocked his arm.

"Don't ever dare to stay with me if I talk again" riled Sakti.

Kirana was silent with her chest pounding, she was afraid that Sakti would hurt her again and it was true what Kirana had in mind.

Sakti pulled Kirana in her arms so violently and began******* her lips so forcefully. Kirana banged on her husband's chest struggling to be released but Sakti grew more violent kissing him.

Kirana was forced to bite her husband's lips in order to escape.

"Basic fucking women !" Maki Sakti rubbed her lips that were bleeding.

Sakti was about to force his will again but it was fortunate for Kirana that her two children came to enter their room.

"Why do you want to work out of town, so tonight four of you can't sleep ?" Ask Davin.

"Ten. certainly can ," replied Kirana staggered.

"Mama cry ?" Davin asked again.

"Mmm, Mama is just sad papa wants to go far away," replied Kirana trying to smile covering her pain.

"Why Papa's lips ?" Tanya Dareel pointed at Sakti's slightly swollen lips.

"Papa kepentok wardrobe time clean clothes. Why not sleep in your room ? Papa's not going long either."

"Well to sleep here."

After Sakti packed them up on the king-size bed with his two boys sleeping between them.

It didn't take long for his two children to fall asleep. Sakti kissed and confirmed the bedcover that covered her two children.

Kirana turned her back on Sakti, trying to close her eyes to fall asleep. Kirana can feel the bumpy mattress signifying Sakti getting out of their bed.

"Wake up ! I know you haven't slept yet" Sakti said, shaking his wife's body.

"What do you want, man ? I cape debated about the thing that I don't understand where the fault lies" replied Kirana lazily.

"I'm not gonna get you into an argument,"

"Then what do you want ?" Kirana opened her eyes.

"I want you right now, lest I force you Kirana" Sakti said, caressing his wife's face.

"I'll wait for you in my study, not for long." Say Sakti with eyes full of intent and then out of the room to his room.

Kirana sat on her bed. Thinking about what Sakti just said. He felt so wrong with Sakti's request if he refused surely Sakti would explode in anger. If he keeps his heart not ready.

With a sigh that felt heavy Kirana walked towards the workspace of her husband.

Kirana knocks on the door of her husband's study and opens it slowly, looking as if Sakti is sitting in her office chair. Sakti's eyes were so hungry looking at Kirana.

"Satisfy me" he said decisively.

Celia's birthday has arrived. Saturday afternoon the atmosphere was so crowded. Renata was there to arrive early as well as Kirana, they helped prepare the party. Although Fabian and Renata have divorced but they are still on good terms for the sake of their son Celia.

"Thank you for coming, sister, where's Sakti ?" Fabian asked when he met Kirana.

"Loh will go to Sulawesi. Don't you know Bi ?" Kirana furrowed her brows not understanding why Fabian asked.

"Oh yeah ? Not back yet ?" Ask again.

Kirana shook her head in response.

"Maybe the business is not done yet" replied Fabian who looked awkward.

"I live first, Brother" said Fabian who then contacted someone via his mobile phone.

Fabian looked at Kirana from a distance while continuing to talk to her phone.

Kirana brushed off all bad thoughts by busying herself.

The party was over, Kirana was sitting with Renata and talking to each other.

"Bian's new secretary is Re ?" Kirana asked Renata when she saw a woman who was very familiar with her brother-in-law and in-laws.

"Yes" replied Renata who looked sad. Kirana knew it would be hard to see another woman's former close life partner.

"Kak Sakti does not look. Where's where?" Ask Renata.

"Dinas," Kirana answered briefly.

"Kok tumben work on the weekend?" ask Kirana again.

"I don't know either... Re, can I ask you a question ?" Kirana wants to ask how Fabian used to lie about the out-of-town service but turns out to meet other women.

Kirana undoes her intention to ask, she does not want to make Renata remember that very painful thing.

As time passed, Kirana returned to her house at 9pm while her two children stayed overnight with her in-laws.

Her phone rang when Kirana just got to her house. His father's name is there. With sparkling eyes Kirana answered the call because they had not exchanged news for a long time.

Kirana: hello Dad

Kirana's father: hello son, I call you.

Kirana: call ? Where do you call me ? When ?

Kirana's father: just now. You and your husband Sakti just came out of Louis Vuitt*n's boutique right ?

Kirana: boutique ? Ah dad probably saw it wrong. Sakti again to Sulawesi.

Kirana's father: oh yes? But I'm sure I saw Sakti. Ah... But it could be that the eyes of this old father are wrong to see. Yeah, how are you doing, son ?

Kirana's mind drifted... How his father who lives in Singapore can see Sakti there, while Sakti is working in Sulawesi. It can't be, can it ?

Tbc...
