"Astaghfirullah Sorry, sorry my master I was in such a hurry. I didn't see you coming here." said a woman who just hit Danu without seeing who he hit and crouched to pick up the map scattered on the floor.
Danu stared intensely at the woman who had just hit him, like no stranger.
"You, you're Afifah right?" danu asked the woman who was still busy picking up the map on the floor.
The woman immediately raised her gaze to the man who knew her name, then stood looking fixedly at the man who was also familiar to her.
"And you are Danu right" said the woman pointed at Danu.
"You really are Afifah right" said Danu also pointed at the woman.
"Yes, geez Danu did not expect yes we can meet here" said Afifah with a big smile.
"I could hardly believe it was you" said Danu, noting the appearance and dress of the 100 percent gray Afifa.
"Look at me, you were the most tomboyish girl in school" she continued.
"Yes dong, life is what must change it yes we ourselves.including me, cook and tomboy continue later no more guys want to apply me because it is considered a guy" said Afifah while laughing softly.
"Yes, yeah, uh you haven't married Fah?" ask Danu
"Not Dan" replied Afifah
"Why?, no guy has a crush on ya" said Danu meledek.
"Not really, I haven't found a suitable one yet"
"Oh yeah, what are you doing here anyway?" ask Danu.
"Oh this, I happen to want a meeting at this hotel" replied Afifah
"You live here now" Danu asked again.
"No, once a year I go back to Indonesia, my parents are there" Afifah replied.
"Oh yes Dan, I left first yes definitely I've been waiting for now" continued Afifah.
"Oh yes please, sorry to waste your time" said Danu sungkan.
"It's okay and relax"
Afifah then left after previously having exchanged mobile numbers with Danu. on the sidelines of his steps Afifah turned to raise his hand hinting for Danu to call him.
Danu looked at Afifah who had gone away and waved his hand and smiled broadly, without him noticing that there were a pair of eyes watching him.

"Sa, how come you go home alone. Which friends?" mama asked Alisa to her daughter who had stepped in without saying hello with a pouting face.
"Don't know ah ma, I want to go back and get tired" Alisa replied and then stepped up again.
"Alisa.."Call her mama.
"why else ma?" alisa asked her to look at her mother.
"That was your husband calling mom, he said he called you but you didn't pick up" replied Alisa's mom.
"And he said you were told to call back" he continued.
"Yes yes ma, later in the room I call" said Alisa then stepped away from her mother to her room.
Arriving at the room, Alisa simply put her phone on her dressing table. She did not call her husband but laid her body on the bed staring at the ceiling of her room.she soon got up again to the drawer to take the medicine that her husband had prepared before leaving for Malaysia.
After she finished taking the medicine, Alisa stared at her cellphone at a glance on her dressing table and then threw her body back into her bed. "uh why it feels so strange" he murmured.
..........
"Which woman is pa?" danu said back to asking.
"The woman you just met in the lobby"
"Oh that's pa, he's my friend Afifah in high school first.What's the matter?"
"you look so familiar, are you just friends.there's nothing in the past?"
"Why?, like I'm suspecting me".
"No, papa's just making sure there's no other woman besides your wife"
Danu chuckled at the words of her papa." Yeah no pa, I'm just amazed to see her change now. Afifah was once the most tomboyish girl in school"
"And papa feels also inappropriate married men admire other women"
"Why be this possessive"
"Again, papa just reminded you of your mama's trust"
Danu silently remembered the trust, whether he could keep the trust.really Danu had indeed fallen in love with him, but whether he could survive if his love was unrequited.
"Oh yeah, you said there's something you want to tell papa. What's that?" asked Mr. Adi to throw his son's daydream.
"Pa....." Danu took a deep breath and let out slowly, this time she was sure to tell her papa everything.
"Pa, actually at that time I was only forced to marry Alisa as well as Alisa"
Pak Adi quietly waited for the next sentence his son would say, really he could not digest.
"When I heard my mom and dad's conversation about Mama's condition, I wanted to tell you guys to cancel the wedding, but I didn't because I I was afraid to make my mom's condition worse."
Until here, Mr. Adi is still silent.had not met his bright spot.
"Pa, husband and wife is just a title in our household. All this time all papa witnessed was a pretense.but, it's just me. Not with Alisa."
"And all this time I also did not have a disease that caused me difficulty to have offspring" Danu felt heavy saying that.
Then why to this day, your wife has not been pregnant" this time Mr. Adi voiced.
"That's because... Because we don't.."
"That's enough!, papa has understood now" said Pak Adi sighed with tightness then rose from his seat, stepped past Danu. he knew where to go now.
"Pa, but I've fallen in love with her pa I love my wife" Danu said but was ignored by her papa.
"Pa...!" yelled Danu, your papa has disappeared from behind the door.
Danu feels sorry to have told his papa, of course his papa now must have considered bad to his wife.what if papa told him to separate. would have felt heavy if it had to happen, would have been hard, because he loved his wife.
Danu sighed, floated one hand in the air. let him later explain to his papa so as not to consider bad the woman who had been chosen by his father to be his wife.
.........
"Ma, I'm sorry papa has plunged our son into a loveless marriage.it turns out that all this time our son is not happy ma" said Pak Adi sobbed before eating his late wife."
"But papa promised to fix everything so that our son could be happy" his tears escaped.
"Father promise ma, anything papa will do for the happiness of our son"
