The next day Hardi and Wulan met at a cafe near Hardi's office, where Hardi tried to hold back his anger so as not to be suspected by Wulan. Hardi wanted to know how much more Wulan would fool him with all the lies he said that seemed real. Wulan is very good at acting as if she is a victim of a divorce that occurred in the past, as if she wants to grab Hardi's attention and sympathy back by using Cilla as her bait.
" Have you waited a long time? sorry the streets were quite crowded" said Wulan then sat in the front seat Hardi.
" It's okay "reply Hardi briefly.
" How about Cilla? can I meet him as I please and tell him the truth that I am his biological mother? I miss Cilla so much, I love Cilla so much, she's my only daughter. For that I ask you to let me be with him even if not every day." said Wulan with a soft look, while Hardi just listened with his hands clenched tightly holding back emotions.
" I'm so sad when Cilla doesn't recognize me, you know how the kids themselves don't recognize us! This heart hurts, the child I bear and I was born with does not consider me. All this because of your parents and it's my fault that they followed your parents' wishes." said Wulan as if he was a victim.
" That's Enough, "Hardi's words surprised Wulan.
" I knew everything, I asked my parents, I knew the truth. Never mind you do not continue acting in front of me, your tears are just fake tears, I will no longer be eaten by your rotten babble." said Hardi firmly.
" What do you mean? I was a victim of the selfishness of your parents, I loved Cilla very much and no one could deny that" Wulan stressed.
" Alright, I don't care if you're a victim or anything. I still allow you with Cilla because I still have a conscience but I only allow you to meet once a month under my supervision" Hardi said.
" But that time is not***...." said Wulan cut off by Hardi's words.
" Again or not meet at all! " strictly Hardi.
" Well, I accept the most important thing is that I can see Cilla" Wulan agreed.
" Yesudah, because there is nothing else we are talking about, I'm sorry." said Hardi then passed from before Wulan.
Wulan stared intently at Hardi who kept away, wiping away the remaining tears that soaked her cheeks. Then he smiled cynically and then looked annoyed because the plan he had neatly arranged did not succeed in making Hardi sympathize and melt.
" Fuckin' parents, it always made me fail to conquer Hardi. Glad to interfere in people's affairs, even though Hardi was a little more in my grasp but again.... Damn it. "wulan growled while throwing a lap at the table in front of him.

Hardi came home sooner than usual, he felt very relieved because the burden of his mind was now gone. Sudden longing comes to him to immediately meet his beloved wife and there is no important appointment until he can go home soon.
When he got home, Hardi saw Sarah sitting in the garden chair, looking blankly ahead as if something was being thought of by his wife. Hardi immediately approached his wife sneaking around to give her a surprise. Hardi closed Sarah's eyes with both palms, Sarah who was treated like that suddenly looked surprised.
" Who is yah?" ssrah asked but Hardi just kept quiet by holding back his smile.
" This who? answer dong." Sarah asked again and again Hardi was silent. Sarah fumbled the burly hand that closed her eyes and felt she felt the ring on the ring finger of the hand and the perfume that was very familiar to her even though she could not see it.
" Ah mas Hardi, I know it's you" said Sarah who managed to guess who closed her eyes.
" It's smart, baby, you guessed it " said Hardi then let go of his hand and turned to sit next to Sarah.
" Your money has been attached so I can guess from the fragrance of your perfume as well as the presence of our wedding rings, which clearly your hands are very stocky." Sarah replied.
" Well, my body could be crushed if the way to embrace it like this" said Sarah who felt hardi hugged her too tightly.
" The end of the mas misses you so much, it's been a long time since I hugged you like this" said Hardi still hugging his wife tightly.
" But unlike this also mas, later our baby can not breathe "sarah's speech finally makes Hardi release his embrace.
" Oh baby, I'm sorry Dad. Dad accidentally, because I miss your mother very much." said Hardi while stroking his wife's stomach as if she was talking to a baby in Sarah's womb.
Sarah just smiled at Hardi's behavior and at the same time happy because Hardi was very concerned about her pregnancy. Hardi asks if Sarah wants something to eat, maybe there's something Sarah wants as a sign of cravings. But Sarah replied that when she wanted nothing, Sarah just needed the attention of her husband was enough for her. Hardi joked a little that Sarah could always be around him, touch him or touch him anywhere Sarah liked, Hardi would gladly accept. But it instead made Sarah pinch her husband's waist because maybe it was not her wish but the desire of her husband. Hardi moaned in pain because Sarah pinched him not once but many times, Sarah stopped when Hardi pulled her waist and grabbed her face and kissed her cheek gently.
Because the day grew twilight, Hardi invited Sarah to enter the house, had not been able to go further heard the sound of broken glass. Hardi and Sarah were surprised, then they turned to the back which turned out to be a broken glass bottle and there was a piece of paper rolled inside. Hardi tells Sarah not to come closer so that Sarah is not injured and Hardi approaches the broken glass and takes the piece of paper. Hardi opened it and read the inscription written in red capital letters 'I WILL NOT LET YOU BE HAPPY '. Hardi immediately squeezed the paper and threw it into the trash can with anger.
" Mr. Maman, Mr. Maman." cried Hardi.
" Yes sir, what's wrong?" reply Maman sir who was running.
" Mr. Maman, the duty of Mr. Maman is to guard this house, where was it?" ask Hardi firmly.
" I'm sorry, sir, I went to the toilet" replied Maman.
" Next time don't leave your place again, clean this up lest there be a piece of glass left" Hardi said.
" Good sir "reply Mr. Maman.
Then Hardi came back to Sarah and invited Ssrah to immediately enter the house.
" What was mas? I saw you read something and threw it away "asked Sarah.
" It's okay baby, maybe it's the work of a prankster, don't think mending we immediately enter, mas also already sultry want to take a shower immediately" said Hardi switched the conversation.
Sarah believes Hardi's words, they finally enter the house.

Later that night, Sarah accompanies Cilla until she falls asleep. Now Cilla dared herself to sleep no longer accompanied by Lia because Cilla said she was grown so there was no need for anyone to accompany her. Sarah returned to her room and saw Hardi already lying on the bed looking at her phone.
" Are you busy?" ask Sarah.
" Dear no, I just checked the incoming email from a few clients. Come here we sleep, it's night too, you'll need a lot of rest." said Hardi as he patted the mattress on his side.
Sarah immediately got into bed with Hardi's burly hands and Sarah's hands hugged her husband's waist. Sarah was so comfortable being near Hardi and Hardipun felt the same way, Hardi kissed Sarah's forehead and said good-bye and then they began to close their eyes until they fell asleep into the dream realm.
Seriate....
