"Seriously Adek just came to our room?" ask me again, making sure that Mely does not hear my grief crying over Rili.
"Eehhmmm.. " He paused his words, stopped his steps and stared fixedly at my eyes. She seemed to want to ask something but she just kept quiet and hugged me tightly.
"I love you so much. Don't leave me, will you?!" he said he hugged me tightly.
His words made me even more confused. Who wants to leave him.
"Why do you look like this. Wherever I might leave you. There's our son here. I love you too." I said softly in her ear. He's getting his arms tight. It was as if there would be no chance to hug me again. And I returned that hug. Even though I'm still thinking about Rili, that doesn't mean I don't love my wife.
Arriving at the event, Dad asked us to take a picture together again. After I finished taking pictures, I went back to look for Yasir's whereabouts. But, it turns out that he has left that place.

Three days had passed, but why did the figure of Rili never disappear from my memory. I really wanted to meet him. I want to apologize in person. It's obviously my fault. I'm a stupid husband, who abandoned him first.
I didn't think he was waiting for me all this time. I was so mean to him, in his waiting I divorced him. How foolish I am, to waste such a good woman. I was so mean, I made him suffer. Looks like I have to meet her, so that this heart can calm down.
Should I call him? the provider card I found is still stored in my wallet. Does he still wear his old number?
I took my wallet lying on the dresser. I sat my body in the dresser chair. With a thumping feeling I began to insert Rili's SIM card into my phone whose card I first removed.
With slightly trembling hands, and a rumbling chest, I turned on my phone. Hoping that his provider card Rili is still active and save the contact number. I glared at my phone, impatiently waiting for it to be ready for use.
"What's the other?" I was surprised to find Mely standing in front of me wearing a towel that wrapped her body from chest to knee. He just finished taking a shower this afternoon, because this afternoon he whined for company at the Mall. The smell of the shampoo he was wearing pierced into my sense of smell. A moment of tension I felt ransacked for smelling her shampoo that I liked so much.
"Nothing anymore." I answered casually, put down my phone and stood there clutching her body to my arms.
"Such a fragrance anyway?" I began to stroke his stomach. I glanced at him, He smiled.
"When I take a shower, it smells like dong..!" he answered holding my hand which was stroking his stomach.
"Daddy doesn't even keep the bath fragrant, beautiful anymore." I commended. Yeah lately I've been very good at seducing her. I don't know, those words of praise often just popped out of my mouth. In the past, I had the prestige of saying those compliments.
"Mas could have been, the better at combating." He said, as if removing his body from my arms.
'Wear clothes first, baby." Smiling words.
"Don't help you?!" I said to persuade her, I don't know lately I've been happy to help her get dressed. I was delighted and amused to see his body containing it. Of course when helping her dress, this hand always nudges a certain part of hers that I like.
"No, we have to be quick. Night hunt. Later if Abang helpin Adek wear his clothes. It's been a long time, it could be Adek so shower again." He said and walked quickly, avoiding the safety of my hand that was about to pull the towel that wrapped around his white and smooth body.
We both laughed. I got back to my phone. Start looking for the settings app. Find contacts in his SIMcard. For a moment my chest trembled, as this hand scrolled my phone screen. I'm so scared I didn't find anything on his simcard.
I smiled, my heart was so relieved. When the contact number is stored on the SIMcard.
I saw the clock on my phone, it was already at 03.50 PM, it means that in Indonesia it is already at 08.50 Am. Australia's time difference with Indonesia is seven hours. In Australia it is seven hours faster than in Indonesia.
This means he must be working in his office. I'll try to reach him. The first call is directly connected, but not picked up. For a moment my blood rippled violently, out of fear. I was not ready to hear his voice on the phone.
I tried to calm myself down, taking a deep breath, then I reassembled my courage. And I called Rili's phone again. But not lifted either. Sighing in annoyance, I repeated the call for the third time, but still did not get picked up either.
I've started to not calm down, why my call has not been lifted, but it has been three times. Because I use a private number. I don't know, maybe Rili's busy.
"Why haven't you had a shower?" mely's voice broke my daydream. I looked at him with a smile. Putting that phone on her dresser. Then go into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, I quickly walked into the dressing room. It turned out that Mely, my beautiful wife, was already in that room as well. He wanted to help me choose the clothes I was going to wear.
"Wear a short-sleeved shirt, huh? or wear a t-shirt and from the outside wear a jacket?" said Mely picked up some short-sleeved shirts and plain shirts.
"It's up to Adek, the important thing is to get out wearing clothes." I laughed, He pinched my waist with a clamor.
We are ready to go shopping at the Mall. I took my phone she's Mely's dresser bag. Mely went back into the dressing room, taking the bag she was carrying
Right then, I called Rili's number again. But still not lifted. I exhaled a rough breath. I was upset and a little disappointed, and it turned out that he didn't want to pick up the phone from me.

It feels tired to accompany Mely shopping, but because He is so and happy when I accompany shopping. The fatigue is a little less.
I threw my body on the bed. Want to straighten my spine that feels tense. Mely went into the bathroom.
I again decided to call Rili's phone. Long time sound of incoming call sign. Until my call is connected. At that moment I sat my body on the bed. I took a deep breath. I was nervous to say hello, even in the air. I don't know, I don't know what the name of the feeling is right now. I always think about it.
"Assynolay. !" I said, and the phone connection was cut off. I tried to contact him again. But this time the phone number is out of reach. I kept trying to call Rili's phone number. But always the operator's answer I listen to. I'm really upset. I was so curious about him.
"Mas not showering?" Mely crawled up to the bed. He lay down next to me with a yawn.
"Mandy." I said, get out of bed, put my phone on the nightstand by the bed.
Last night I couldn't sleep, Rili's shadow haunted me. I feel this feeling I feel. Why can't I calm down, after knowing that Rili didn't return to Yasir. Did Rili love me and wait for me all this time? Aaaarrggh... It feels so shitty.
I saw the clock perched on the wall of our room, it was already 04.12 Am. That means in Indonesia it is still nine o'clock more nights.
I got up from where I lay. Walk slowly to the balcony. And I called Rili's phone back. But again not lifted.
This can't be silenced, I have to see him. Thank goodness she's not married. I'll persuade him, so that we can reunite. Yes, tomorrow I will return to Indonesia.
