"Ck arrghhh! Why doesn't everything go the way I want? Poor husband, everything is exposed, Mami Papi is divorced!! Argh! Shit!" Dela sipped the cocktail bit by bit. He sat at the bar in front of the bartender at a nightclub he frequented while holding his head with one hand.
Many pairs of basket eyes stared at him. But he doesn't care. After all, wouldn't it be natural for her to wear an open dress to the night world like that? Being the center of attention has become commonplace for him.
"Ecci ... Beautiful, can I join you?" ask a man who came to him.
"Whatever," he answered tightly without even looking at the man. Dela had no intention of responding to it.
A creaking of the chair being pulled out sounded. The man sat there looking at Dela's beautiful body and face. A mischievous smile was etched on that face.
"Why are you beautiful?"
His voice sounded soft but still sounded annoying in Dela's ears. Piqued. It was so bad that he railed against the man in front of him.
"YOU CAN SHUT UP TI–dak anyway?" His voice weakened as he stared at the attractive face of the man. He even looks wrong by tucking his hair into his ears.
"Aawww why this man is as handsome as hehh .." his mind while condemning the stupidity he did.
"OK–oke sorry." The man raised and pointed his hands forward, trying to stop from interfering in Dela's affairs.
Suddenly the sound of sobbing began to sound. Dela lowered her head with her hands covering her face. He was crying behind his palm. The man looked at her pity. There was pity in his mind.
"Why you?" tanyanya gently. His hand touched Dela's shoulder slowly.
Dela was still dissolved in her sobs. Inwardly wishing more on the figure of the man beside her. "May this man too. Come on!!!" he said in his heart.
"Hey .." call him again. Dela then held her head up, then looked at the man's face in a dim light, but she could still see the man's face. His eyes were sad with tears in his eyes.
"You want a story?" asked the man by thrusting a glass of wine in front of Dela. A sweet smile was etched on that face. Dela also told what happened to him with flavoring spices to make it taste better.
"Dudududu"
In the middle of the atmosphere was a man whistling. For a long time he observed the movements of someone there. A slanted smile adorned his face.

Day by day has passed. Now Edi lives alone because Dela also did not return to the house. Dela still lives in Davin's apartment.
"Bi Roinah, help move the items in the warehouse to this room!" tell Edi to his house assistant. He looked around the empty room.
"Okay sir" said Roinah.
"Oh yes. Invite Mang Arman to help you."
After hearing the order from the master, Roinah came out of the room and called Arman to help him move things. The thing Edi was referring to was the property of his late wife, Annaya. Really, he missed the figure of his late wife. Anna's departure leaves an empty room in her heart that no one else can afford to stop by, not even Clara.
Clara.
Perhaps if the events of that day did not occur, Edi would still be loyal to Annaya until the end of his life. But destiny says something else. Without her accidentally, she impregnates Clara at the beginning of her marriage. He did not expect that from the results of it all, he had a child, namely Dela.
Wanted her to leave Annaya after Clara's womb grew and even gave birth. But without guessing, in Anna's stomach there is a tiny seed, making her unable to tell what happened. During that time, he tried hard to cover everything. Even he threatened Clara who even entered his life and was even good friends with Anna. His son often he brought when meeting with Anna made Anna so fond of Clara's child. As Annaya knows, Clara is a single mother.
Tired of worry in his mind, seeing his legitimate wife and his infidelity familiar. That night, Edi dismissed his concerns. He assured himself that everything would be fine.
Until something happens to Annaya, which makes Annaya have to give birth to the baby early. But destiny says something else. Annaya died a short time later when the baby was born in the world. In his death, he asks Clara to take care of his son just like Clara's own. She also wants Clara to marry her husband.
"I don't want to!" edi said, objecting to Clara's request. "I can take care of everything alone!" he said he was adamant about what he believed. Clara looked at Annaya and Edi with tearful faces.
Annaya looked at Clara for a moment. "Sir, please leave us alone for a moment." Clara nodded and followed what Anna wanted.
"Mas .." said Annaya when the door was shut. "I beg. You might be able to. But not with our children. Gea will lose her mother figure in her life." The pain Annaya felt made her voice so softly heard.
"I don't want Annaya!" edi said without looking at Annaya.
"Mas... I beg. I can't accompany you until the end. Do so. If you don't want to, I beg you to do it for me, for our son."
There was no movement that Edi made. Until a gentle pull on Edi's hand felt, enough to attract the attention of Edi. Ed looked at his wife's face.
"My time isn't much, Mommy." That sweet smile was etched mutely on that pale face. The tears could not be endured anymore.
"alright. I'll do it for you and for our son." Unbearable and have no choice, Edi agreed to Anna's request.
Anna smiled sincerely. "Thank you." Then the eyes slowly closed. His hand was also slackened.
Tiiiittttt
It's all over. Edi was crying in silence. The wife he loved was gone. The request was the wife's last request for her.
"Mr ... Mister"
"Eh ..."
Edi also realized from his daydreams. It turned out that the pair of eyes had glazed over with a mirror remembering what he had been through. The last bitter and sweet memories. Roinah's call disperse the world of his mind.
"Sorry Mister. Where's this stuff put, huh?" ask Roinah carefully. He condemned his mistake that disturbed Edi's daydreams.
"Put it there Bi. The rest let me arrange it myself."
"Good sir."
After the goods– that he had brought to the room, Roinah returned to his activities.
"Uncle ..."
"Male! Since when have you been here?
"Just now Uncle. This is for you, Uncle."
Bima sent a flash into Edi's hand. Edi looked at Bima questioningly.
"What's this?"
"Look at Uncle. I said goodbye to Uncle. There's still so much to do."
"Yes ..." Edi spun–mutar the flash with his finger. "thank you. Often– often play here," said Edi with a sincere smile that expands at both corners of his lips.
"It is with great pleasure Uncle" he said as he passed leaving Edi in the room alone.
Edi took his laptop and played the video in the file. How surprised he was to see what the video was about. The anger on his face explained how angry he was.
"Bad!!"
