"How about, Mr Mark?! You've seen my wife, haven't you?" ask Sunny during the break. He is currently with Mr. Mark having lunch in the cafeteria.


"Not only see but I've also met and talked a lot with your wife, Sunny. You mabok and finally sleep asleep. At about six in the morning, I finally chose to go back. I'm afraid that if you fall asleep at home, you can wake up late" explained Mark.


"Hahaha, even I also pass my ritual every night with my wife because I mabok," said Sunny. Mark suddenly felt jealousy in his heart.


"You're so lucky to have a wife like your Ayana" Mark said.


"Sure Mark! Even I've sworn not to make her cry and be disappointed in me. I swear I won't betray her" Sunny said.


"You're really a dream husband, Sunny! I salute you" said Mark.

Meanwhile, at Ayana's coffee shop, there was a commotion. Where Adrian, Ayana's lover used to suddenly come to Ayana's stall and make a riot. Ayana cries as Adrian loudly tells her to call her a prostitute. Where the coffee shop is just a guise because the seller himself also sells other services as a comfort woman or tuna susila.


"Look at this beautiful woman! Where there is a coffee and noodle seller has beauty and body polish like him! This shop is just a cover to attract the interest of men. So all mothers, beware of your husbands if hanging out and buying coffee in this shop! This woman will definitely try to flirt, seduce your husbands! Because she's actually a high-class whore!" adrian said out loud. Ayana who heard Adrian's screams could only cry and try to stay away from the sharp gaze of the mothers who joined the crowd in her stall.


"I, I'm not like that! I just want to sell coffee and noodles to fill my time while waiting for my husband to return home from work. Everything the man said was just a slander!" sahut Ayana with her sobs.


"Lied!! Just look at him! If you all don't believe! I can prove that she's actually a whore!" adrian said again. The noise and rumors from the people in front of the Ayana stall were getting more and more excited. Until the RT sir came to make the situation there safely under control.


"How is this Mr Rt? You must drive this woman out of this village. Because he is a disease of society that we must eradicate. He's going to ruin the households of the people in this village. It might even have a bad influence on the surrounding population," said one resident speaking to Mr. Rt.


"Alright, calm down for all! Please all disperse! I'm going to talk to this coffee shop. Please disperse everything," said Mr. Rt in a loud voice.


Ayana was still crying sobbing. While Adrian can only smile widely to see the suffering of Ayana.


"Sister Adrian!? Why is my sister so happy with me. Brother used to sell me to Susi's mom. Until I was finally caught up in the night world. Now that I want to quit that job, big brother is back to making new trouble. It's as if you don't want me to be able to live in peace and quiet" Ayanas told Adrian.


"Who are you not serving me anymore. Under the pretext you are no longer a prostitute. Even I'm willing to pay you dearly, but you're a saintly pretender. He said you were married and had a husband. Where's the evidence, huh?" adrian sahut quietly.


Mr. Rt who saw between Adrian and Ayana was talking slowly finally approached the two.


"Sorry before, let's sit down together! I want to ask you something. I as Rt in this place do not want to let alone the unrest in the residents of this community. Moreover, maybe everything happened because of a misunderstanding," said Rt sir who invited Ayana and Adrian to sit on the bench in front of the house Ayana.


While it was late afternoon where Sunny, Ayana's husband had not returned. Ayana was impatient to spill everything that made her sad, ashamed and others. Moreover, Adrian tried to urge him to ask her for a date. Adrian does not believe that Ayana has quit her job to be a bed-warming woman for men who need her services.

Mr. Rt, Adrian and also Ayana look towards Sunny who came with Mark.


"Well, it's been proven, Mr. Rt. If in fact this coffee shop is just a guise. These two men must be customers of this woman who will bidding this woman to be invited nice. Because this woman is a prostitute!" adrian said.


Sunny who heard Adrian's words immediately turned red. Sunny of course is also embarrassed if it makes Mark know the background of Ayana who used to be a prostitute. Though actually Mark himself already knows that Ayana was once a prostitute. Even Mark had slept with Ayana.


"Hi, man! Watch mouth! Don't talk so recklessly! I'm Ayana's husband! So don't talk shit like that!" sunny.


The commotion occurred until Mark finally invited everyone into the house just to finish everything. Mr. RT also agreed with Mark's proposal which looks like a very authoritative leader. Mark is the president of his own company.

"Sir Sunny! I don't want to live in this house anymore, brother! They're so evil!" said Ayana who was still sobbing because she was humiliated by Adrian. What makes the heart hurt is all it is done by the man who was once very dear Ayana Adrian. Adrian, the man who became Ayana's lover.


Mark was still in the house watching the woman who had secretly kept him thinking day and night. Although now she has to dismiss all her desire to have and pursue Ayana because Ayana is already the wife of Sunny.


"Yes, baby! Don't cry anymore! We'll move out and go back downtown. We're gonna sell this house and find a house in town. Don't be sad dong! Let's smile darling," said Sunny while rubbing Ayana's shoulder.


"We better stay in my old house, brother! There people do not care about the personal affairs of others" said Ayana.


"You're okay living in that house, baby?! You're afraid to think about your past again" said Sunny.


"It's okay brother! It's better to stay there than here" Ayana said. Sunny embraces Ayana's body to provide comfort and peace to his wife.


While Mark pretended not to see the scene of the husband and wife hugging each other.

"Mark, whatever you hear today may not make you condescend to my wife, Mark! I already loved her. Even half of my life I've given to Ayana" Sunny said as she drove Mark home. Mark excuse me for coming home.


"What are you talking about, Sunny! I salute you. You are a great man and a great husband! You dare to defend your wife. And you need to remember, buddy! Everyone will have the opportunity to change. Including me, you and your wife" Mark said.


"Thank you very much, Mark! You are my best friend who knows me well" said Sunny, hugging her best friend.
