Aditya woke up that morning feeling refreshed. He felt that he had lived for years in peace, but only two nights passed with Frita.
“This is the life I want. This is what I've been looking for all this time. And instead of being constantly involved with death and distress!” inner relieved.
Aditya did not wake Frita that morning, because his wife was busy preparing their luggage to go to Bali tomorrow.
Aditya says, “You helped nih?”
“Hmm, if you want,” Frita replied with a smile.
“If I want to? Clearly wanted. Who wouldn't want to help his good and beautiful wife?” aditya then walked to Frita's back and just hugged her.
“Ih, Mas. Gini smell. Shower first!” reply Frita while pretending to be angry.
Aditya who did not dress, smelled his own armpits and grimaced. He also went to the bathroom. The bathroom is at the back. He walked there to pass the room first. Aditya's phone suddenly rang.
“Who is this? When it's quiet again there is a phone,” inner Aditya upset, then go into the room and check his phone. There's no name. An unknown number.
Aditya felt an unpleasant feeling.
“Ya, hello?” answer Aditya.
There was no sound on that phone.
“This who?” aditya said again.
A few seconds passed, still no sound. Aditya keeps the phone away from his ear, and looks at the screen. The second time it was still running there, meaning the phone was still connected.
“Hey, who's loe? Don't try it, yes!” snapped the already impatient Aditya.
Frita was shocked and checked her husband in the room.
“What's up, Mas?”
“This, there's a phone. I don't know who I am from either. He answered that there was no sound. Fad maybe,” replied Aditya then throw the smartphone on the mattress.
Frita shrugged her shoulders in no problem. Aditya also ignored who had just called. Maybe it's just a prankster. Aditya imagines it could be Teo or Charlie who is deliberately nosy to him. Aren't they the most hilarious members of the Night Squad?
Or, maybe it's from someone who knows who, who just wants to tease Aditya. He didn't care and went into the bathroom. It flushed its body just below the warm shower.

The breakfast again tasted delicious. This marriage, to Aditya, was not as bad as he had thought before. He feels he is in heaven. He felt his life was saved.
So, he thanked the confused Frita.
“Why thank you all, Mom? My cooking is good, no?” ask the astonished Frita.
“Enak. Yes, anyway I want to thank you just the same as you, dear,” Aditya replied while unceasingly looking at Frita.
This morning Frita cooked fried noodles, a simple menu that Aditya had asked for this morning as soon as he finished his bath. After breakfast they continue to pack for preparation to Bali tomorrow.
Suddenly Frita seemed to be remembering something. “Oh, yes, Darling. Grandpa Darma has not talked much with Uncle Salim and also with you?”
“Iya. Why indeed?” said Aditya who then looked seriously enjoying his fried noodles.
“Eth why my Grandpa was on the phone yesterday afternoon. Well, when you are again in the toilet and I happen to be sitting alone in the room,” said Frita.
Aditya remembered, that was when he and Frita agreed to have children, so that he and Frita would also be happy to struggle more often as a couple.
“Not really. Grandpa Darma is fine. He was just a short phone call. Not a minute too, Mas,” replied Frita.
Frita also explained that at that time Grandpa Darma said this: “I still wonder who Aditya really is, Frita? His good Uncle Salim was like the person I knew in the past.”
Aditya was confused hearing that. But, maybe Grandpa Darma is not aware when the wedding party takes place, that he and Uncle Salim have known each other for a long time. And it's very likely to happen. He finally remembered how he came home.
“Maybe they are friends or know since young. Uncle Salim once said that when he was young, he worked in Jakarta. I don't know what year it was. Had your grandfather also been in Jakarta,” said Aditya.
“Enter as well sih.”
“Well, that's it.”
Frita says, “Iya. It's probable. But my grandfather's voice sounded strange, Mas. He's not like he used to be. Am I overdoing it, huh?”
“Have not thought too much. We're not going to Bali too long, are we? Two days is enough. After that we immediately slide to Grandpa Darma's house in Bogor. That's a good idea, right?” bargain Aditya while trying to make Frita's sweet smile back.
“I agree, My dear. We went to Grandpa Darma's house after Bali. Maybe you can stay there. My grandfather lived with one of Papa's brothers. Besides I also have no activities until next week,” said Frita who finally smiled back.
They also pack things into suitcases as necessary. Then Frita called the hotel, saying they had canceled the room for seven days, but only two days and nights.
That afternoon, because it was saturated at home continued, Aditya invited Frita to eat outside the house. His wife also strongly agreed.
“Where is it good?” ask Frita.
“Now, you decide. We eat, then we watch a movie. Exciting for sure,” said Aditya.
They drive to a shopping center while talking about simple things, something that Aditya has rarely noticed in recent years, because it is too busy with missions and missions only.
They parked the car in the basement of the shopping mall. At that time Frita suddenly got a call from his office, for short signature purposes that he could do via online.
So, Frita walked a bit ahead while trying to record something in her notebook.
Aditya locked the car and walked a few meters behind him.
That's when Aditya was surprised by the figure of a beautiful woman who seemed to have not met for a long time, but not long ago slept with him.
Yeah, it's Sherly Embunsari. A woman who helped him after that time had almost died at the hands of The Green Devil and his men. The figure that helped her escape and treated her. The figure that somehow sedated her and just obeyed her sexual desires.
“Sherly? You here?” aditya said spontaneously.
“Yes, we need to talk,” replied Sherly coldly.
“I'm going with my wife,” replied Aditya, pointing forward.
Sherly looked shocked, but for a moment it was a shock. He even looks very indifferent to anyone, except Aditya who is now standing in front of him.
Then Aditya realizes Sherly looks a lot different. It looks a bit .. ah, no. That's not fat. His stomach is big, but not fat.
Sherly looks like she's carrying a baby! Aditya suddenly felt unwell for some reason.
Frita had been walking in front for too long, about to enter the elevator door there. And, now he's actually intercepted by Sherly.
“This is your son, Dit,” whispered the woman, still with a cold expression.
Seriate...
