"Well, how come you go home again, son? Does Desi still not change huh?"
His mother was very surprised to see him come back. He was just silent, his tongue felt silly to just answer him. It was still clearly illustrated in his mind how his new wife had betrayed him to such an extent. The greatest temptation in a relationship is the third person. Any trivial matter inshaallah can still be resolved except treason.
"Lif?" bu Nani looked at him full of question marks.
"I want to get a divorce with Desi, Mom," said Alif Lirih.
"What's? Astagfirullah, call it Nak. Your marriage is still not long, the time has come to separate. This matter can still be resolved carefully, please consider it again,"
Ms. Nani was very surprised her son wanted to get divorced again. He has spent a lot of money for his marriage, it is not funny that they have not been divorced for 2 months. Though he thinks their problems are not that heavy until they have to choose to separate.
"My decision is already unanimous, ma'am. My heart hurts too much to take it back" Alif replied.
Alif bowed sadly, he held his head which began to recur in pain.
"You why else, your headaches are coming back? Hurry up and take the medicine,"
Ms. Nani panicked to see her son in pain. He immediately took a glass of water for her to take medicine.
"You don't think too much. You better make peace with your wife soon, you won't get sick like this" said Bu Nani.
"I'm sick because of him, akh..."
Alif grimaced in pain holding his head, he laid his body on the sofa and tried to restrain his emotions from getting worse.
"Have not spoken again, you rest" said Ms. Nani.
Alif according to, he began to close his eyes to reduce the pain he felt.

Rania was waiting for Nelly's arrival, she just called if she was going to visit her house. Possibility to talk about the issue of his offer yesterday about making a venture.
"Assynolt,"
"Waalaikum greetings, let's go to Nel," asked Rania.
"Yes, thank you,"
They sat together in the living room, Rania had prepared drinks and snacks as their friends chatted.
"So how's Nelly? What's your plan?" ask Rania.
"That's it I'm still confused, too. Please give me dong's input" replied Nelly.
"What do you like? it can make it easier for yourself to sell if it suits your wishes,"
"I like beauty-related, mbak women's stuff. My friends are many, followers on social media are also quite good so I can use it for promos,"
"If my advice as a first step you can promo-promo first, you can be a reseller of skincare products that I also sell. Take it easy you do not need to transfer first, you can pay after your customer pays. But if you can do not owe so that the business is not long. You can also sell clothes, bags and other items. I'm willing to give you a capital loan,"
Rania explained patiently to Nelly until the woman understood. He gave a package of skincare products that he sold to him for free to use. He also gave an initial capital injection of 10 million to his former sister-in-law.
Rania believes in her because she sees herself in need and has previously proven that she is indeed the person responsible for money matters.
"Thank you Ma'am, I hope my business goes well. I can succeed like Mbk Nia" Nelly said.
"Amin, later if there is an order you directly chat me yes,"
After almost 2 hours they chat Nelly finally said goodbye to go home because Rania also had to pick up Alisa at school.

"Assynolt,"
"Greetings waalaikum,"
"What's the matter, sir, ma'am, why do your faces look so anxious and sad?" ask Nelly.
"Hus, not many. You're resting,"
Her mother placed her index finger on her lips while glancing at Alif who was asleep on the sofa.
"Mas Alif why else?" ask Nelly lirih.
Bu Nani invites her daughter and husband to sit on the porch of the house.
"Hurt in his head came back until he screamed. He said he was going to divorce Desi" explained Ms. Nani.
Both of them breathed roughly. They pity the fate of Alif who seemed to have endless trials.
"It's not possible just because of yesterday's problems that Alif will be suing for divorce, ma'am" her husband said.
"That's why sir, I told him to consider again. Eh he even more headaches," said Ms. Nani.
"Pity is Mas Alif, even though for many years with Mbak Nia he was never like this" said Nelly.
"There is no need to discuss the past, the name of marriage must always be a trial," replied Ms. Nani.
"I'm going to go in first,"
Nelly is lazy to continue the conversation because her words have never been heard in her family. Nelly's voice opens the door to her room and Alif wakes up.
"Nelly, uh,"
Nelly turned her head, she closed the door of her room back and approached Alif.
"Yes, why else? Said Mom got a headache again, huh?" he asked softly.
"Yes, your words about Desi turned out to be true. I'm sorry Mas didn't listen to your opinion back then, now I'm so sorry,"
Alif bowed sadly, his eyes reddened and began to tear up.
"Propay me. But if there is no other way, I think yesterday's problems can still be fixed" comforted Nelly.
"If it was only yesterday's problem I'm still familiar with it. He betrayed me, my heart hurt. He lowered my self-esteem as a husband" Alif said.
"I mean how? Did Desi make any more of it?"
"So I followed my mother's advice to reconcile with her, I went back to boarding. But it turns out..."
Alif can no longer stem his tears, he does not care anymore if considered a crybaby by his family. His sister rubbed his back to calm him down.
"She was perverted with her ex-husband in the room we were in, I saw her with my own eyes,"
Alif managed to finish the story in between her tears. While Nelly's mouth was wide open, her eyes were perfectly rounded. His parents who had been listening had come in.
"Is that right, Lif?" ask father.
"Well is Desi like that, Lif?" ask mother.
"I didn't expect it to be that bad" Nelly said.
Alif could only nod weakly.
"I'm going to get a divorce right away, I don't care what people say about me. I can't live with an unfaithful woman, can't keep her pride" Alif said.
Silent mood. Bu Nani who was still defending Desi looks silent, only a sad expression that appears from his face.
"I agree, betrayal is the biggest mistake in marriage. Being a widower or a widow is better than living a life of suffering" Nelly said.
