"When did you come to Indonesia? Why don't you tell me?" Rara asked as she looked at Elisha sitting next to her.
"Not long ago, just two months ago. I'm not telling you because I'm still confused about where to stay? In Jakarta or in Riau."
"Continue now? Are you sure you want to stay in Riau?"
"Hem, at least in Riau you are my best friend. There's grandma and grandpa too. After all for me who just started hijab is not Riau a good choice. Because of the Malay village, so as a large population veiled, so it can motivate me not to let go. I see everywhere the women of Riau hijab."
Rara nodded, "Indeed hijab became a culture in Riau. Even so, may our hijab not because of culture alone but because of trust and sincere worship from the heart."
"Amen."
"When did you start wearing a headscarf?"
"Just two months ago. Actually the desire to veil has been a long time, but when in Rome I feel not free if living there and wearing a hijab. So when I conveyed my intentions to bang Anders he agreed, very supportive if I hijab. That's why we go back to Indonesia" Lisa explained.
"I'm not pretty with a hijab?" Lisa asked while tidying up her neat hijab.
Rara gave two thumbs up her hands, "did. So more beautiful and graceful. I'm just up to pangling with you, I think model stars," Rara said.
"Excessively," Elisha struck his best friend's arm, though his cheek was red, blushing mauously.
"I veiled because of you, Elisha" honestly.
"Ah time?" Rara did not believe it.
"Hem, because I saw pictures of you looking pretty in the hijab rather than back in High School so I wanted to follow in your footsteps."
Rara laughed at Elisha's words that were hijab because of him. While Elisha who did not receive a laugh back tickled around Rara's waist to laugh out loud.
Their conversation continues to the husband, children and their respective households which leads to the problems of Rara's household and her quarrel with Adam.
"It's very selfish of your husband Ra" Eli commented, "when you stay here, you don't have to go home. Let's see how he reacts when he sees you're not home. Dizziness isn't she?"
"How will my son go? I've never been apart from him for long?" Rara asked with a sad face.
"If she cares about you and your child, she will definitely look for you and persuade you to go home no matter what. But if he really doesn't care about Ali, especially with you we take Ali, we kidnap him let Ali be with you. For now let's just wait how your husband reacts."
Rara agrees with Elisha's proposal. Maybe she had to disappear for a while to find out if her husband cared or not.
Their chatter came to a halt as the housekeeper reported that lunch had been prepared.
"We'll eat first Yok Ra! Are you trying to cook Dina, my head chef, good or not?"
Pinta Elisa while grabbing her best friend's hand helps her to stand up.
"Your husband? Did he not eat together? Aren't we waiting for him?" Rara asked as she stood up from her seat.
"She called me and said she couldn't have lunch at home. So we eat both."
The two walked to the dining room.
Rara pulls the chair right in front of Lisa. On the table has presented various kinds of Indonesian Nemu. Maybe the host misses the Nusantara cuisine that is rich in spices. The two were busy taking rice and side dishes changed, even so their mouths did not stop talking, even teasing each other.
When the two were about to put a spoon into each other's mouths, there was the sound of someone saying greetings from the front door which was not how long followed by a man entering the dining room.
Elisha stopped so that, put the spoon back, then stood up, walked over to the husband. Taking the bag and work coat from Andres' hand and kissing the man's hand, in return Andres kissed his forehead and kissed his wife's lips.
Rara who saw feeling embarrassed also wanted to see the intimacy of a married couple in front of her. Shame at having to see a perverted scene, wanting to because Adam never treated like that.
Both of them returned to the dining table. Anderson pulled up the chair next to his wife, while Elisha put her husband's briefcase and work coat in the other seat that would be kept in the room later after eating.
While his hands began to busy taking rice and side dishes for the husband, before thrusting a plate full of food on Andres.
"Well, this is Rara, my best friend." Lisa points out Rara's introduction to Andres.
"Hallo, greetings. I'm Anderson Paulsen, Elisha's husband." Andres extended his hand to Rara, crossing the dining table.
"Rara, Safira Zahra Princess. But it's called Rara." Rara shook that big, warm hand, "greetings know too."
Then the three sit back to their respective chairs and continue eating.
"Bang, Rara wants to stay here as long as you're going to Rome. It's okay, right? Let me be my friend as long as you're gone?"
Eli then explains Rara's problem with Adam to Anders, as well as their intention to teach Adam a lesson.
"Actually I do not agree with the woman who when fighting husband and wife he went from home. The breed of women stay in home as long as the quarrel is not KDRT, let the men who leave the house. Because women must be embarrassed if she after going and returning to her husband's house by herself, without being sought or picked up first.
That if her husband is understanding, what if her husband is indifferent and insensitive, may tend to be a jerk. When he found out his wife left the house, he was not looking for marriage anymore. When that happens, of course, the woman can not demand or blame the husband, because it is all her own fault that she left the house, children and husband, and so on, so that the husband thinks the wife does not want to be with him anymore" said Anders.
"Also if you live here without the permission of the husband, I can be prosecuted, accused of hiding the wife of people. I could be in jail" Anders continued.
Hearing Anderson's completely correct advice, Rara fell silent, bowed in shame, feeling that what she did was wrong, she should not have left home. Even Ratna herself also often advises him like that, angry and coveted whatever Rara and Adam do not let him leave the house because it will become tuman, the habit of every fight always stops and it's not good.
As long as Adam does not play hands then Rara should not run away, solve the problem well not by leaving the house.
Rara again closed her mouth that likes to open when she heard the voice of Elisha, her intention to tell her best friend that she did not so stay put.
"Then how's bang? Rara can't stay here?" Elisha put on a sullen face, making Anders shake his head slowly, looking at the behavior of his wife who is a forcible if there is a want. Moreover, Lisa and Rara did not meet for a long time, of course, both of them want to spend time together to remember the good times of both of them.
"Can. Brother couldn't possibly forbid you two from having fun," Anders looked at Elisha and Rara alternately, "more brother would also leave." The man stroked his wife's head full of affection.
Elisha smiled broadly, "lovely, dear" said Rara's best friend as she kissed her husband's cheek. Then grinned, looking at Rara, making Rara cluck annoyed at Elisha.
Basic Eli, showing off the intimacy in front of others, Rara's nagging in heart.
Even so Rara is grateful that her best friend's household life is happy and fine. Rara is grateful that Eli has a good husband and loves her as sincerely, unlike the husband and wife in the novels Rara used to read, husbands who remarry at the time of their marriage to the first wife have not obtained offspring. Elisha and Anderson had been almost ten years, because Eli married two years earlier than Rara, and until this moment they did not have a baby. Several times Eli suffered to his death due to his weak content. And twice the baby tube program also failed. Now they come home to Indonesia, in addition to the hijab, they both also want a baby program by combining alternative and medicine, who knows how to succeed.
After lunch, Elisha drove Rara to the guest room prepared by Elisha PRT so that Rara could take a nap, while Elisa and her husband went up to the second floor where their room was.
Since Rara does not usually take a nap, then she chose to walk in the backyard of a house full of trees and various friends, looking for the wind there.
Unexpectedly, Rara was sitting in the gazebo visible from Elisha's room, making her best friend back down and following Rara behind the house.
"Not sleeping?" Ask the hijab-wearing woman of peace while carrying a tray of iced tea and small setoples of snacks.
"I don't usually take a nap. So not sleepy. You're not sleeping?" Rara asked back.
"I also don't usually take naps. Understand hard work. So the rest is short, "Elisha answered, with laughter at the end of the sentence.
Rara nodded in agreement with Elisha. They are both career women. Rara came home from work at 3 until home was late in the afternoon, no longer had time to take a nap. While Elisha worked in the hospital, from morning to afternoon, did not have time to take a nap.
"Yes, let's talk. Discuss where we are going a week tomorrow," said Elisha.
"What if you two take a vacation? Haven't you two been on vacation?" Said a man walking leisurely towards them. Both of his hands are stored in a bag of pants, making his appearance look more charming in Rara's eyes. Astaghfirullah why are you amazed by Ra's husband, if there is a man at home.
"I agree" answered Elisha quickly.
Rara looked at Anders and Elisha changed.
"Where's Ra? You agree that we're on vacation."
"But I have to work."
"Izin is the same as the principal. Can't time? Come on, Ra?" Elisha whines on Rara's shoulder while shaking her best friend's arm in order to agree.
"If for a week we walk here alone can be caught with your husband, mending us to walk outside, let it be free."
Rara was silent, she hesitated.
Seeing the doubts of Dimata Rara, Elisha was more eager to convince his best friend with a variety of sweet words as well as cunning so that his wife would leave. One of them is a way that Adam is not easy to find Rara.
"Where are we going on vacation?" Rara's question finally collapsed as well.
"To Bali," answered Elisa steadily, "my husband's family has a villa in Bali, so we can stay there for the holidays."
According to Elisa's plan, Rara keeps her car at Eli's house while they're away. Elisha also ordered all the housekeepers, gardeners, drivers and security guards at his house for a week off, without having to worry about cutting salaries even the host gave envelopes containing transport money and for pocket to the workers, so that when Adam comes home to find people and assume if their house is empty uninhabited.
After preparing all Anderson's needs to go to Italy. The three of them went to the airport together with a taxi, because their flight from Pekanbaru to Jakarta was still one plane, they separated later when they had transit in Jakarta. Rara and Elisa continue to Bali, while Anderson heads for an international flight to Italy.
