"I'm sorry if my arrival bothers you" Rafka said as she entered Pras's room.
"No. Please sit down." Pras pointed at the sofa in the corner of his study. They sat on the sofa.
"What's the matter with you to see me?" tanya Pras formal.
"No need to be too formal, just plain. Let's just say I'm your friend too, like Ana." Rafka smile.
"alright. So, what do you need to see me for?" Pras repeated his question in a relaxed language.
Rafka still reflects on her smile. "I want to apologize for what happened a week ago. I, representing Yuna, apologize to you and Ana for my wife's behavior."
"Oh, it's over so forget it."
"But I don't feel good about you and Ana."
"Not to think too much."
Pras and Rafka also chatted casually accompanied by a cup of hot coffee and a snack brought by OB. Rafka had wanted to meet Pras since the incident, but he suddenly had a need in Pontianak. Even talking on the phone, he felt disrespectful.

Deby visits Ana's house with her son. Their children were running around in the front yard, so they chose to talk on the porch chair while watching the children. Bi Siti already serves cakes and drinks for her employer and guests.
Ana and Deby are startled by the sound of the gate being violently shaken and opened from the outside. A woman walked into Ana's courtyard with wide steps. His eyes were unfriendly.
Ana and Deby immediately stood up from their seats. They stared in wonder at the uninvited guest. The woman approached Ana and immediately gripped Ana's arm until Ana grimaced.
"Where's my husband? Don't pretend to be pious but it turns out to be hiding people's husbands!" it's full of emotion.
"Deliver! It hurts!" Ana muttered while grimacing as the woman gripped her arm very strongly. Fortunately Ana was able to escape from the woman's check.
"Yuna! Why are you looking for another storm? Yesterday you didn't apologize to Ana, now you're making a fuss again" Deby said.
"Because he's a bad actor! Why apologize to the actor!" yell that woman, Yuna.
Ana is angry when she is referred to as an actor by her own schoolmate. "Don't talk to you! I'm not an actor! I never teased your husband. I have my own husband if I want to flirt," Ana growled at Yuna.
"Since dinner here, he left the house that night as well. No news and hard to contact. You must have hidden her!" accuse Yuna.
"What am I hiding him for! Very little work!" sangkal Ana's.
"Yes because you still want Rafka!"
"Me and Rafka are just the past, I told you, right? I love Mas Pras!" i'm Ana. "God, Yuna. We can talk good."
Although with a sour face, Yuna also sat on the terrace chair with Ana and Deby. Ana asks Bi Siti to bring Yuna a drink. They then talked there.
"Are you being ignored by Rafka?" asked Ana in a soft tone.
"Not really, but always. Rafka was never romantic with me. He always put work, work and work together!" I Yuna was upset.
"Is it possible that you've done something wrong to him that he's behaving like that? Because the Rafka I know isn't like that" Deby asked.
"I never did anything wrong!" shangkal Yuna's.
"Maybe it's a mistake you don't realize, like I used to," Ana said.
"Have you ever done anything wrong?" yuna asked in disbelief.
"Yes, without me noticing. I used to think I did my job as a wife and a mother well. But it turned out that it was wrong in the eyes of Mas Pras. Being busy taking care of my children and home made me neglect my appearance. I was not taken care of and musty, making Mas Pras ignore me even once turned to other women," Ana told.
Ana smiled sincerely. "I began to pay attention to my appearance and also .. teasing Mas Pras," Ana replied, her voice shrinking at her last sentence.
"Tempting? Meanin?" yuna asked not understanding.
"Dress beautiful, dress sexy and seduce your husband to spend time with you" Deby replied.
Yuna gaping. "really?"
Ana nodded confidently. "I also did it on Deby's advice, even though it wasn't my usual self. But as a result, Mas Pras came back to me." Ana smiled proudly.
"Then, do I have to do it too?" yuna asked doubtfully.
"If you want to get your husband's attention, do it" Ana advises.
Yuna bit her lips, worried. Can he do it? All this time, he never teased Rafka. During this time, he held Rafka in custody with regard to his parents' debt of gratitude.
"Oh yeah, Yuna. Don't put pressure on Rafka with all the debt of gratitude to your family" Ana advised again.
"But it's true, isn't it? Rafka is indebted to my Papa and he has to pay for it by always being by my side!" press Yuna.
"Maybe that's what made Rafka walk away from you. You and your family are always pressuring him with all the past debts. It will make Rafka feel lost self-esteem, feel oppressed and suppressed," said Deby sage.
Yuna fell silent, trying to decipher Deby's words. Thinking whether his attitude towards Rafka was right? What if he turns Rafka still wants to forgive him?

"Take me again, hum?" pras asked when he came home from work until night because of overtime and found his wife welcoming him by wearing sexy lingerie.
Ana approached her husband. He played his finger on the husband's ash shirt, right on his chest. "If so, why?" asked Ana with a seductive smile.
Pras immediately grabbed Ana's waist and tightened it on her body. "It just so happens because I'm so hungry." Pras directly devoured his wife's lips greedily.
***
These days Yuna always wears sexy clothes, hoping that her beloved husband will come home. Yuna has decided to change her attitude towards Rafka because she does not want to lose the man. She was getting more agitated because until the fifth day, her husband did not come home.
Yuna contacted her husband many times, but her phone was never answered. Every time he sent a message, only the sign had been read without reply. Yuna grows suspicious, is it possible that her husband has another woman out there?
Yuna regretted what she had done to her husband. He always demeans Rafka. She always brought up her husband's debt to her family to hold the husband back from leaving her.
Her heart began to get more and more frightened if what she thought, that her husband had another woman, became real. It's the 11th day her husband doesn't come home. Did her husband really have another woman to not miss her?
Yuna shed tears, worried that what she was thinking was coming true. He immediately wiped his tears when he heard a knock on the door. Her eyes sparkled again expectantly, hoping for her husband to come home.
A little run to the front door so that you can quickly open the door and welcome the husband. He opened the door in a hurry. His eyes grew bigger to see the guests coming.
