Adam until home when to is still quiet house. There's no one there. Rara hasn't come home from work, Ali hasn't gone to school yet, and the madam? I do not know where the house assistant is, because the matic motor used by middle-aged women also does not exist.
Maybe I was picking up Ali at school or not going shopping at the market. Because it is now Wednesday, the market day in the parent market that is near the sub-district office.
After parking his car in the garage, Adam went straight into the house. Luckily he had his own key, so he didn't have to wait for Adam to come home.
Adam goes straight into Rara's office, puts his briefcase on the table. Then he went up to the second floor, where the master bedroom was located.
Adam's house was large enough for his small family. The house consists of two floors and five bedrooms.
Rara and Ali's room is on the second floor. While Rara's living room and workspace, also the mbok's room is on the first floor.
Because Rara pity if the mbok put in the back room, where the maid room is located. So he asked mbok to occupy a guest room located next to Rara's work space next to the family room.
The reason is that Rara also has friends at home at night.
While the maid room behind Rara used to store household glassware.
Adam opened the dark brown door in front of his eyes, and the fragrance of Gardenia flowers immediately smelled in the 5x6-sized room. Typical fragrance of the wife.
Tucked his tired body on a bed of nude color, which from the aroma was changed this morning, because it still smelled fragrant clothes that Rara used to use.
Adam rested his body on a soft bed. He's very tired today, his head is dizzy, his body is hot, maybe he has a fever. Because a few nights lately Adam often soak in cold water for hours to relieve his desire that soar every night.
"Hm, apparently I'm old now" Adam muttered.
Commenting on him whose endurance has decreased, not like before.
And sad when sick like this he had to stay at home alone, there was no one to accompany or take care of him.
Unwilling to dissolve in the sadness of his heart that suddenly melted, Adam closed his eyes, forcing himself to sleep.

At three o'clock in the afternoon Rara just came home from work, and the arrival was greeted by mbok Atun who opened the door for his employer.
"Have you come home yet?" Ask Rara.
Because it was about a dozen hours Si mbok said call Rara and say that Adam went home, because his car was in the garage. But mbok himself did not know where Adam went after that, because his figure is not visible in the house.
"Maybe in the bedroom" Rara answered by phone.
Because usually her husband if he just went home to sleep immediately because tired of long-distance travel, drive himself again.
"Udah was looking in Rara's bedroom, but Adam's mas wasn't there."
"Oh, maybe go to your mom's house, or if you don't go together. Let Rara call later, ask where?"
"Yes mbak," replied mbok Atun who immediately ended their conversation after the two said greetings to each other.
And after that Rara called Adam several times, but none of her calls were answered by the husband, Rara sent WA also until now has not been read, especially in reply.
Mbok Atun followed Rara from behind.
"Lha mas Ali didn't come home with Rara?" Ask the woman again when she realizes that her employer is going home alone.
"Indeed who picked up Ali, mas Rangga?"
"Yes, he will" replied Rara.
The mbok nodded in understanding.
Indeed, since Rangga became the chairman of UPTD six months ago, now the task of picking up Ali home from school becomes Rangga's daily routine if his brother-in-law is not busy.
After picking up the new Ali will be delivered to the house, or to Rara's school, to Eka's house, and not infrequently also come to Rangga's office. It's up to her son to go.
But lately Ali is more happy to come to Rangga's office, because there is a Zulfa employee child in UPTD who is a classmate of Ali.
Rara put the leptop bag into the study, then she walked up to the second floor where her room was.
While the mbok, went straight to the kitchen, preparing their lunch menu that had passed the hour.

Rara who entered the room was shocked when the gaze found the sleeping body figure curled up on the mattress while hugging the bolster.
A line of thin smiles approached Rara's lips when she realized that her husband was at home not a savagery out there.
But why did the mbok say it wasn't home? Or maybe the mbok who does not know that mas sleep in the room kali, thought Rara.
After replacing her work uniform with an ordinary home dress Rara memorized Adam who was still asleep in a dream to build her husband for lunch. Because if Adam had been in the room this morning, the man would not have had lunch either.
Rara sat on the edge of the bed, near the body of Adam who was lying on his side, facing toward him.
"Mas!" Call Rara while gently patting Adam's arm, "Bagun! Let's have lunch first!" Rara.
"Engh.." -...."
Adam's arch as a sign if his sleep is disturbed.
"Mas!" Call Rara again.
The husband still did not respond.
Rara touches the husband's cheek, the main purpose of which is to stroke and pat him slowly so that the man opens his eyes, but Rara finds more than that.
Adam's body felt hot in his palms, making Rara widen her eyes at a glance, an expression she was surprised by.
Then Adam's forehead to measure the husband's body temperature.
"God, you have a fever" Rara's reflex when she finds Adam's body temperature above normal, even the lips and face of the man sleeping on the side is pale.
Quickly retrieved his thermometer from the nightstand drawer next to him, to confirm Adam's body temperature, which turned out to be 39.2 by then.
Maybe the effect is because Adam did not eat and take medicine so the fever can get that high.
Rara returns to her original purpose, building Adam to lunch first.
