The atmosphere was silent, only the sound of crickets could be heard. The moon shines perfectly tonight, giving it its beautiful light. The flashing stars do not want to lose to the moon, tonight their light is the light tonight for the crickets.
At Rio home everyone was asleep in his sleep, Rio face was very tired after a day of selling at red lights. So did Surya, he was also very tired after a day of pedaling his bicycle carrying passengers. Ningsih who also fell asleep, his face looks lethargic and his lips pale. Maybe because he was always coughing made his face go limp.

The chicken rang because it was 3 am, Surya woke up to see his wife was no longer in his bed. Surya blinked his eyes and looked for his wife.
