Anton was about to leave for the city with his wife and son, but his heart was not calm. Namlia, Anton's wife realizes her husband's uneasiness. He asked her about her anxiety.
"What's my husband? You seem to be very agitated, what are you agitated about, right?"
Hearing his wife's question, Anton grabs his wife's hand and invites her to sit on the bed. He wanted to talk seriously with her.
"You're right my wife, there's something that makes me very nervous. Do you want to know?"
"It seems very serious. Just tell my husband, what's wrong? Don't make me curious." Namlia looked at her husband seriously.
"It's about Sarmi," Anton paused. He wanted to see his wife's reaction when she mentioned Sarmi's name. His wife, however, fell silent and continued to look at Anton seriously. Anton finally continued his words. "Sarmi passed out yesterday morning in the garden. Lucky I was there when he fainted. I went there to tell her the day of our departure, because she wanted to leave something for her husband. So I helped her." Anton stopped his speech as Namlia frowned.
"Then what does this have to do with you? So you're so restless? What... are you_" Namlia's words stopped when Anton placed his index finger on his wife's lips. He knew his wife was so jealous. If he does not speak well and explain in detail, he will continue to be prejudiced.
"Don't talk no-no! I was just helping her, nothing happened." Anton hurriedly anticipates Namlia's prejudices. "I plan, the day after tomorrow I will take Sarmi and her children to the city with us. I'm worried, if she stays in the garden and there's no husband. If he passes out like yesterday who's gonna help him?"
"You care so much about her, is it because she's your ex? I'm really not happy!" Namlia expresses her feelings
Anton speechless. He wanted to be angry with his wife. But his anger he dimmed. Remembering his jealous and paranoid wife.
"Darling, I don't care about him. He's just my past. No more relationship with him. My feelings are only on you too. Believe that! I just want to return the favor to her husband who helped my wife and the child I love. So, am I wrong about that?" Anton explained in a low and gentle voice to Namlia, his wife so as not to misunderstand again.
Huh, my husband is right! We do have a debt of gratitude to Halim and her family. If it wasn't for him, maybe me and my son couldn't breathe the fresh air in this world. I shouldn't be jealous of my husband. Sarmi is her ex-boyfriend. Ah, my common sense seems to be gone. Because of jealousy I always prejudiced my husband. Sorry husband!
inner Namlia.
Namlia blows her breath slowly, a breath of relief. She felt ashamed, ashamed of herself and felt guilty for her husband because he had thought of even almost saying inappropriate words to her husband.
"Then just take him to town with us, then what makes you nervous?" Namlia asked in a low voice.
"I think of her husband, and their abode if I bring her child and wife into town. Halim, meanwhile, plans to pick up his son and wife in the next two months. And I don't know yet whether he has built a house or not on top of the store" Anton explained.
"Yes well, our house will not fit to live together. Let them stay with us for a week, and their children can sleep in one room with our children. So talk to Halim later. During that week he had to think about finding a rented house, for them to stay later." Namlia gave her proposal.
"Ok, fix it. They're temporarily staying with us." Anton repeated making sure.
"Sunday! Remember, just a week, not a while staying with us!" Namlia.
Anton was very happy, finally he could have the opportunity to return the favor again to Halim. Yet he held his delight in his heart, he did not want his wife to be suspicious of him anymore if he carved a smile on his lips.
"Ok, I get it. This afternoon I will go to the garden again with Syakila. I'll talk about this with them."
"Hum, but don't stay there long!" pinta Namlia's.
Hah, this wife of mine, already has three children of mine is still also jealous of me. He should know how I feel about him. Just-there's.
inner Anton
"Yes baby! When I'm done talking to Sarmi, I'll be right back." Anton said as he poked his wife's nose with his index finger. Then he stroked his wife's face and kissed her soft forehead.

Today Halim is so busy serving the buyers who come together. Fortunately the buyers, have a patient nature, and wait after the first buyer is finished.
They serve the buyers very kindly. One by one, the buyers are reduced. He wanted a moment to fill his hungry stomach. All he wanted to perform his Dzuhur prayer.
He closed his shop using a tarp, then he went to perform his prayers first, after the prayer then he went to eat at the usual stall he ate.
Halim did not realize that a woman had followed her from behind since she left the mosque. After Halim finished eating he wanted to reopen the sale.
As he passed through the small hallway, Halim was surprised that his hand was pulled by someone firmly. Because there is no self-awareness, Halim was attracted and crashed into the body of the person who pulled him.
And even more surprised, now Halim was on the body of the woman who pulled him. Since the woman could not support Halim's body when Halim hit her, they ended up falling together.
Halim immediately rose from Halima's body. "You, what are you doing?" halim.
"Ma-ma-sorry, I-I want to talk to you." Halima spoke stammeringly for fear of seeing the anger on Halim's face.
"I don't have time to talk to you!" Halim turned her body wanting to leave. Halima held back Halim's hand.
"Please! Listen to me. Give me a little time, talk to me. Please!" Halima pleaded sadly.
Halim's heart softened instantly. "Speak!" he said with a flat face.
Halima does not want to waste the opportunity now, she tells about her life to Halim without any lies.
"So, I was there because I was trapped." Halima told her life story while crying. "In the beginning of meeting you, I did want to seduce you and make you interested in me." Halima stopped telling stories, she wiped some of her tears that were still running down her cheeks. "I'm very sure, you'll be captivated by the beauty and beauty of my body. But I was wrong." Halima smiled bitterly. "And your attitude like that makes me even more interested in you. But I realized, you can't be seduced, so I gave up on seducing you."
"If you've given up on seducing me, why do you always bother me? I'm concerned about your life story. But whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me. So stop bothering me!" Halim said quietly but very firmly. Awaken Halima if she doesn't want to be disturbed.
Halima. "I want to ask for your help." He dared to look at Halim. "That's all I want from you, help me!"
"I don't want to get involved with your life. Don't bother me!" halim said as he stepped.
"I want to get out of there! Please get me out!"
Halim stopped his steps. He turned to look at Halima. He could not bear to see Halima kneeling down and pleading for her help still crying.
Halim approached him and helped Halima to stand up. At that time Halima immediately hugged Halim's body tightly. Halim wants to let go but Halima's words prevent her.
"Please! Let me hold you for a second!"
Halim lets Halima hug her, but she does not return Halima's embrace. Halima was crying out shedding her sadness.
"Please! Help me get out of there well. If I run away on my own, they'll keep chasing me. And force me back there with my sister's threat. I don't want my sister to be the same fate as me." Halima asked for Halim's help. "I'll return your favor later if you get me out of there."
Halim released Halima's body from her body. "I didn't promise you that!" the answer. "You've told me a lot. And already said your wish. Now I'm leaving!" Halim immediately stepped away leaving Halima there.
"I'm sure you'll help me Halim." murmured little Halima when she didn't see Halim's back. He wiped the rest of his tears. Then he went back to his bodyguard. He was very sure they were looking for him now.
"Where are you from? Why are your eyes soaked? You're crying?" one of his bodyguards asked full of probes.
"I'm from the food stall over there. There was an animal that entered my eyes, it was so painful that I cried because I couldn't stand the pain." Halima lied to secure herself.
"Then, now your eyes are not sore?"
"Yes, it's not hurt. I helped them get the animal out of my eyes and they put eye drops in my eyes." again Halima lied to convince another lie.
"Now, let's go home! You've been hanging around outside for too long" the bodyguard asked. "Have you bought your needs?" The bodyguard asked suspiciously because he did not see a single item held by Halima.
Halima realized, she did not have time to buy things to cover her lies.
Die me! What do I have to answer now?
inner Halima.
"That's what I'm looking for my sister's needs, so I've delivered it to my sister. After that, I just went to eat at the stall." again Halima spoke lies to secure herself.
But the bodyguards believed Halima's lies.
"Let's go home!" bring again. Halima nodded. They finally came home.
I'm sorry Mulfa, I made you an excuse to cover up my lies. May they not seek the truth behind my back.
