"Hallo, Mum."
"Yes Lee. Wh why? you're going home?"
"I'm at the airport now. How's my wife doing."
Naura glanced cynically as Lee said that.
"He was going with Erlangga. Eyang asked Erlangga to persuade Siti that she would eat and talk. Now they're going out to eat."
"Erlangga?"
"Yes. Oh, yes Lee. Take the woman to the house that Mama rented. Don't take him to our house. Mama doesn't want Siti why-why anymore."
"Hm."
With an annoyed face, Lee hung up his conversation on the phone with Ma. Han.
His heart was filled with anger. His face was red. His hands clenched tightly.
Why did Eyang ask Erlangga to persuade Siti? that's what Erlangga wanted all along. Lee.
"Argh! shit!" Lee batted his phone to shreds. Naura smiled triumphantly. That's what he wanted. Siti was close to Erlangga, and Lee would be very angry about it.

"sorry. I couldn't protect you earlier."
"Te nanaon Aa's. It's not a fault, either. This is an accident of his name."//it's okay Aa ....//
"I feel guilty. The hair you've been protecting must be ...."
"Udah A. Nothing" said Siti, her hand gently rubbed the back of Erlangga's hand that was driving.
Erlangga. A moment in did not take his eyes off the hand that Siti had just touched. He'll wake up soon. Nervously he tried to focus back on the streets. However, she did not want Siti to know about her feelings. Besides being afraid Siti will stay away.
Almost an hour's drive. They finally arrived. Erlangga opened the door for Siti. Her hands protected Siti's head as the woman was about to descend.
How shocked the two of them were to see Lee already standing at the door. With a sour face, both hands are into the pocket of the pants.
Siti who has missed you so much her husband, took off her shopping bag paper. Run towards Lee. Scattered in Lee's arms. She tightly held her husband.
I don't feel her tears flowing. Take off the longing that is blowing. Same with Lee. The anger that almost made his chest explode, now gone.
"I miss you so much, dear ...."
"I'm also Lee. Don't leave again, my heart can't stay away from you for long."
"will not. I will never leave you for anything." Lee said with pressure, his eyes staring intently at Erlangga. It was as if he wanted to emphasize something to that sexy-lipped man.
Erlangga could only be silent. Trying to regulate his breath that feels tight and heavy. How not, he had to witness a scene that he never wanted to see.
Whether intentionally or indeed because of longing. Lee landed a kiss on Siti's red lips. Even he was impressed so lustfully.
Be aware of the presence of Erlangga. Siti immediately took off their kiss. Tidying his lips and hijab. Then turned around, looked at Erlangga and smiled at her.
"A, thank you for today. Let's go in first."
"no need. I have other business too. It's ...."
Erlangga approached and gave her groceries to Siti.
"Thank you A."
"Either. I'm home ...."
"Be careful on road A. Don't speed it."
Erlangga nodded and smiled. He walked away from Siti and Lee with a sense of disappointment in his heart.
