The sky water fell so fast, occasionally accompanied by thunderous lightning. Hanges stopped his car in the yard. He came down and ran in with his body that had been soaked since.
Bi Jenah ran over to Hangga with an umbrella.
“Not working, Bi. I was wet too,” refused Hangga, then ran into the house in the rain.
“Where, Which?" nata asked as soon as Hangga entered the house.
“No meeting,” replied Hangga while shaking his head.
“Why don't you call him anyway" said Nata.
Hangga flinkered for a moment, then replied, “aku don't have his phone number.”
Hangga does not have a phone number. Once, Hangga got a WA message from Harum before he married Nata, but he did not think he wanted to save the number and instead immediately deleted the message while deleting the chat room. So the fragrant number just disappeared without a trace.
“Where the hell, you ‘kan her husband even do not know his number,” Nata's nag.
In fact, what Hangga did was a form of loyalty to the woman of his tribe.
“Indeed where did Mas Hangga go, until it rained so?” jenah asked who had listened to the conversation between Hanga and Nata, but did not understand what was happening.
“Aunt has phone number Fragrant?” Nata asked Bi Jenah a question, considering Harum seemed so familiar with his ART.
“Have, Neng,” replied Jenah. “Oya, Neng Harum tonight nginep in mes, already same permission Mas Hangga ‘kan?” lontarannya later.
“Harum nginep in mes?” Hanges asked back.
“Iya, Mas.”
Hanges took a deep breath while holding his head. Why was this unthinkable to him. It's nice to have no brothers in this town. He also knew, Harum only befriended the employees of the store.
There is no way Harum goes anywhere, except to the mes where his friends live. In fact, Hangga thought very far, had thought Harum went home to his parents.
That's what worries him. If Harum to go home to the parents of Hangga alone, it is certain that Hangga will be nagged by his mother.
“Why Aunty didn't say from earlier,” scolded Nata.
“I think Neng Harum has said the same Mas Hangga,” kilah Bi Jenah.
Bi Jenah got a call from Harum after that. The first wife of her employer reported that tonight she did not return home and will stay in Mes.
After getting a call from Harum, Bi Jenah immediately fell asleep. Then woke up a few minutes ago and found Nata still sitting in front of the television alone.
“Please later send the number Harum to my number yes, Bi,” said Hangga.
“Good, Mas.”
“Bi, get a towel for Hangga yes.”
“Iya, Neng,” Bi Jenah replied obediently, then immediately passed to pick up the towel.

The next day during office hours, Hangga came to the store to meet Harum. The first wife of Hangga had just finished performing the Zuhur prayer when the husband came to see her.
Harum was quite surprised by the arrival of Hanges. Tumben once Mas Hangga came here. Smelling Fragrant in the Heart.
This was the first time that Hangga came to the tavern after her status as Harum's husband.
“Why did you not come home last night?” asked Hangga as she stood in front of Harum. The voice of Hangga sounded astute in Fragrant ears.
“Sorry, it rained here last night,” sahut Harum. He did not lie, because last night the rain did come down from since magrib, so the store was closed earlier than usual.
“Other times if you want not to go home, let me know,” said Hangga kalem. The intonation is flat, not like a person who is angry.
Harum was quite astonished to hear the reaction of the Hanges. He thought the arrival of the Hanges was to nag him or to throw spats like the one that happened two nights ago.
“Iya, Mas,” sahut Harum while staring at the face of the pale-looking Hangga.
Is Mas Hanges sick? ask Harum in the heart.
“But you are not ...” Uncompleted Hangga spoke, the phone in her pocket rang and displayed a call from the office number. He immediately received a phone call from one of his co-workers.
“Iya, I was looking for lo. Want to ask for help, later out of rest please tell Mr. Boss if I let you go home, because again not feeling well,” said Hangga to a coworker who called him.
“Mas Hangga want me to make toast or drink?” fragrant after Hangga finished with her cell phone. For the Hanges look pale and lethargic like a sick person who has not eaten.
“No need, I just want to say it is the same as you,” said Hangga then turned around to get out of the room measuring 3m x 3m which serves as a store office space.
“Yes,” replied Hangga without looking back and without staring at Harum.
“I can come home with Mas Hangga?” Fragrant who worried about the condition of Hangga who seemed to be sick, took the initiative to go home.
The second question Harum made Hangga turn around the body. The man wearing the black shirt was staring at Fragrant some jokes.
“Bby,” answered and then resumed the steps.
After hearing Hangga's reply, Harum immediately tidied up his desk, returning some of the bookkeeping to its place. Then approached the Hangga who was standing waiting at the booking table.
“Come!” exclaims Hangga when Harum position almost nearby.
Fragrant moved obediently, walking tailed behind Hanges. When the two of them had reached outside the shop and were about to enter the car, Nina's cry called the name Harum from the door of the shop that was opened slightly.
“Rum, meatballs!” exclaimed Nina, her hand held up high a black swish pouch.
“Bakso?” Fragrant frowning. “I did not order meatballs,” sahut Harum who already stood next to the car.
Nina ran over to Harum. While Hangga chose to get in the car, sitting in the driver's seat with the car's door glass left open.
“From Mas Arya's. He came here with meatballs. He said it's the latest meatball menu, it's called a heart blanket meatball. We are trusted to taste before this meatball menu is released,” explained Nina.
Fragrant who was standing at the side car door near the driver's seat, glanced at Hangga. Coinciding with Hangga who was also glancing at him from the rearview mirror.
“Make you alone, Nin,” says Fragrant at last. He was afraid that Hangga misunderstood again if he knew the meatballs were given by Arya.
“Nina mah udah, earlier ‘kan Mas Arya bring two. Here, for you!” Nina handed Harum the bag of meatballs, without Harum being able to refuse. Afterwards, Nina ran into the tavern.
Harum glanced back at Hangga. Hangga who had noticed and eavesdropped on Harum and Nina's chat, immediately threw her gaze out of the rearview mirror.
“You sit in front aja,” said Hangga when Harum opened the side car door.
Harum nodded obediently, then walked towards the front of the car and sat down in the passenger seat next to Hangga.
The four-wheelers that Hangga was driving started working on grinding the asphalt. The first ten minutes, the car was silent, there was no chatter between the couple.
Fragrant and Hangga, both seemed heavy to start a conversation. Until the next minute, only Hangga spoke.
“I'm sorry about that night,” said Hangga glanced at Harum. “I should be able to keep my word,”.
Smelly silence did not answer. His gaze was straight ahead looking at the crowd of vehicles racing against each other. Not interested in responding to Hanges speech.
Anyway, what does he have to answer?
Yes, I forgive Mas Hangga. And now let's start a warm marriage relationship. It's impossible for Fragrant to answer like that, right? Fragrant mana dare say so.
“Pardon me?” Hangga turned her head for a moment towards Harum who was sitting beside her, because Harum never responded to her words.
“Eh, yes.” It was fragrant, not expecting that Hangga would ask such a question. “I also apologize, Mas,” he said later.
Mango mangut-mangut responded.
Back the silent atmosphere created in the white SUV car.
“Who loves meatballs?” After a moment of silence, Hangga asked without glancing at Harum.
I don't know why Hanges is so curious. If not misheard, Arya's name was mentioned in the Harum chat with Nina earlier.
It was fragrant to sit while squeezing fingers on his lap, worrying whether to answer or not.
“From Mas Arya,” replied Fragrant in doubt. He immediately prepared his heart, if if if if only Hangga was angry again and accused him of being like two nights ago.
“Oh.”
Unexpectedly only one word ‘oh’ comes out of the lips of Hangga.
The car drove back in the silence of its passengers. However, Hangga is still curious about the figure of Arya. The Hanges who do not know Arya open a meatball shop, thinking that the Arya in question might be another Arya.
“Arya who?” The question of Hangga again broke their silence.
Harum turned to Hangga, feeling strange about her husband's attitude. Coinciding with the Hangga who also turned towards Harum. “Arya who?” reset Hangga.
“Arya her friend Kak Nata,” replied Harum honestly.
Who else is Arya.
