Happy Reading's...
Alvin and Haifa had been quieting each other for more than three days. Even after getting an explanation from Ainapun it was not enough to convince Alvin. The anger this time was purely due to the jealousy factor but there were two different jealousy. The first may be because of Rayhan's visit and the second may be because Haifa is more focused and prioritizing her two children these days.
Working day as usual, they were having breakfast at one table. Cold, no chatter like before.
"Papa mama tumben not ngoblol?" aina asked while looking at her parents alternately.
"Morning a meal can't say much" Haifa said.
"But usually likes to ngoblol. Papa also does not like jail the mother" said Aina. Their daughter turned out to be quite sensitive to the surrounding conditions that could be said to be abnormal.
"Udah. Brother eat, let's get bad luck soon. Spend it, sister." said Haifa.
Alvin Daritadi actually stole a look at Haifa. But unfortunately never responded by Haifa. Even Haifa never wanted to see and seemed to avoid seeing the face and look at Alvin.

After taking Aina to school. Alvin didn't go straight to the office. Alvin had already spoken to his brother-in-law if Alvin would meet him at the office today. Yes, Alvin wanted to ask Keanu about the events of that time.
Already satisfied with Keanu's explanation, Alvin was increasingly convinced to immediately end his cold war with Haifa. But not right now, Alvin still has the responsibility to go to the office and get the job done today.
Alvin wants to finish his job and go home soon. But unfortunately his schedule today is very solid until exactly at 21:30 he just arrived home.
Arriving at home the condition of the house is already deserted. Haifa and her two children slept in one bed. Indeed these few days to avoid interaction with Alvin, Haifa often sleeps faster.
Alvin's plan to end his cold war today seems to have to be delayed.

Back to this place, the place that Alvin wanted to avoid the most. The building that reads the religious court of the city of Bandung is a place that Alvin must go to to take care of the same business as a few years ago. As hard as Alvin avoids but still the reality leads him to return to deal in this office.
Whether Alvin should go back to trying to get child custody or let his son be with Haifa on a note does not make it difficult for Alvin to meet his son. I don't know if I haven't thought of getting there. The reason for the separation with Haifa was never Alvin imagined before. You could say the house is currently on the verge of destruction. For the second time with a different problem. Alvin's back must fail. I don't know what Alvin's mistake to have to fail twice.
With a heavy heart Alvin stepped foot into the building to attend today's agenda which is planned to be held mediation process. Alvin is very hopeful if in the mediation process Alvin succeeds in bringing Haifa back home. Nearly an hour of mediation.
One slap landed perfectly on Alvin's cheek. Making Alvin open his eyes perfectly, his breathing gasps with emotion. Alvin looked aside and was very grateful when Haifa was still fast asleep. Apparently the slap from Haifa in the mediation room was just a dream. Because in fact, the one who slapped his cheek was not Haifa but Aina's leg which is now on Alvin's body.
Alvin soon woke up from his sleep. Rubbing your face while reading your do'a during a nightmare. His eyes looked at the wall clock that had shown 01:45.Alvin does not intend to sleep anymore because he is afraid that the events in his dream will repeat. He went to take ablution. But before that he took the time to kiss one by one his loved ones.
"I love you." she whispered in Haifa's ear.

At 05:00 Alvin just returned from the mosque after performing dawn prayers. His determination was unanimous to end his cold war with Haifa. I don't know who's wrong. But Alvin thinks to fix it there must be one ego that is lowered, there must be one who wants to give up without continuing to discuss who is wrong.
Alvin restarted the routine that he had left a few days ago, approaching Haifa in the kitchen when he came home from the mosque.
"Assalamualaikum." said Alvin while hugging Haifa from behind.
It was quite a surprise for Haifa. Because before they were still the same as each other.
"If anyone says the greeting, dearly" said Alvin in Haifa's ear when his greeting was not answered by Haifa.
"Wa'alaikumussalam" Haifa replied as she tried to remove the winding of Alvin's hand on her waist.
"What cooking?" alvin asked as he continued to sniff around Haifa's neck.
"Martabak." replied Haifa of origin.
"Since when did martabak water?" ask Alvin.
Alvin's question was not addressed by Haifa.
"Detach" said Haifa.
This time Haifa's orders were not ignored by Alvin. Alvin was even more mussling around Haifa's neck.
"Darling to cook it for so long?" ask Alvin.
Haifa did not answer.
"Mas wants to have a chat before the kids wake up" Alvin said.
Haifa was silent.
"Sit down and cook it again. I'm not going to the office today for breakfast Aina can make cereal first" said Alvin while turning off the stove and pulling Haifa.
Alvin pulls Haifa to sit at the dining table.
Haifa did not answer.
"Yesterday I met bang Ken. Bang Ken explained the incident at that time."
"I'm sorry if you're overdoing it. But honestly, I was jealous when I came home from work to see his wife was chatting with another man. Another case if you previously told the same when he visited. Maybe if you ask permission at least mas will not think negative. At that time I also felt neglected because you were too focused on the child. It feels neglected by you."
Haifa glanced at Alvin. In Haifa's mind it's okay if Alvin is jealous of Rayhan. But being jealous of a child is very strange to Haifa.
"But you don't want to find out who's wrong and who should apologize."
"Mas is sorry. It's quite a cold war" said Alvin, staring at Haifa with a hopeful gaze. The shadow of his dream last night strengthened Alvin to immediately end his cold war with Haifa.
Haifa just shut up.
"Darling." call Alvin.
Haifa looked back at Alvin.
"Yeah of diem. Yes, we lost. I'm sorry." said Alvin.
Haifa was silent.
"Dear."
"Sweet yes. Same brother believe. But the wife herself does not believe. Brother's explanation is heard but wife's explanation doesn't want to be heard."
Now Alvin's tight-lipped.
"Try if from yesterday mas want to hear Haifa's explanation and do not draw conclusions themselves certainly will not be late start? If yesterday I wanted to hear Haifa's explanation. Of course Haifa will not be disappointed because I do not believe in Haifa."
"What did that mean? Do you feel neglected because Haifa focuses on children? So what should Haifa be? Haifa's agency is only this way Haifa's capabilities are also limited. Aina must be considered plus now there is Aidan. Can't it be Aina or Aidan who has to understand the situation?"
Alvin silence. Haifa also saw Alvin was really sorry. I don't know what happened to Alvin but Haifa clearly saw there was fear also seen on Alvin's face.
The sound of Aidan's cry was quite shocking for the two adults who were arguably talking seriously.
"Haifa to the top." said Haifa.
Alvin followed Haifa.
"The mother of dedenya was crying" Aina said as she rubbed Aidan's head.
"Yes, the dedenya is thirsty" said Haifa as she lifted Aidan.
"Mother ****** dede. Aina's sister is now ready for school and is equally papa." said Alvin.
Aina according to him stretched out his hand to be carried by Alvin.
Alvin's in Aina's room.
"Son't you want a story?" alvin asked the princess.
"Celita what?"
"Wouldn't you help me to be forgiven my mother?"
"Cock I'm sorry? Papa is naughty? Papa naughty same mother?"
"Yes yesterday papa was not deliberately naughty with mom. Brother help papa apologize to mother yes. Wanna?"
Aina tapped her forehead like she was thinking.
"Why would you help papa?"
"No ah. Papa's naughty anyway. Aina wants to be the same mother" Aina said as she ran back to her parents' room.
Alvin's efforts didn't work. Alvin really has to try himself now.
