“My sister is a midwife Tuan” replied Reza calmly.

Fajr frowned, his eyes slightly raised upwards in his mind thinking since when did Reza, having a younger sister, whom Dawn knew Reza was an orphan living in an orphanage.

Their meeting started since the Dirgantara family, became the main donor of one of the orphanage foundations in the Surabaya area. At that time Dawn and Reza were both small, they played each other every time Pak Angga visited there and established friendship. Until when the Dirgantara family adults decided to finance all Reza's education which led to his dedication to date.

“Sus, why did Mas Dawn not return home for a long time? It has been more than ten days since his departure. Somehow I feel my home and soul become quiet without sound, when there is no presence”

“Padahat before I never had a problem that Mas Fajar did not come home until late at night, but lately everything feels different. I miss him so much”

Orange pursed his lips, he sat on the floor with a thick carpet. Shedding all the grievances that grieved his heart. Her lentiknya fingers are holding a strand of yarn. I don't know what the woman did, like she was about to embroider but never found the initial pattern. He just broke the thread in his hand.

“But I've tried not to fuss. I don't want to be a possessive wife to my husband, I'm afraid he'll be caught off guard and choose to leave me”

The orange was still bowed with a hand busy unraveling a few strands of thread. Within a few seconds his hand moved to hold the empty cloth that will be made media to embroider it.

“Sus, you think I'm overreacting to all this. This is just part of my way of expressing my love for her. What am I supposed to do? Shouldn't a wife miss and worry about her husband? Am I wrong?” Orange looked at Susi, who was sitting next to him. His eyes were as if he were being merciful as a cat pleading for mercy and asking to be collected.

While Susi, she looked at Nonanya with a careless look. His eyes rolled upwards, when he heard the screams of the wife's heart that seemed to be most hurt at that time.

“Sus, do you think I'm overdone?” He looked back at the waiter. Shake Susi's body with the same look in her eyes. Making Susi inevitably have to answer her employer's questions.

“Hem, in my personal opinion Non, does not seem excessive if a wife is missing her husband. But non-orange, must know the level of busyness of the couple. Since the beginning of Non-orange has understood, no, if Mr. Fajar is a very busy person. He is a hard worker, not infrequently will spend all his time just to work” Susi replied slowly, he did not want to make the mood of Orange to be up and down like a swing that was in the air of a teenager.

“But it was Sus, before we got married. Before we loved each other. I know mas Dawn, spilling all his time to work it was just as escape”

Again Susi, must accept the opinion of her employer who she thinks is excessive in facing her husband.

“Non Orange, better rest first, it's very late. Do I want to make a warm drink so that the body is more relaxed?” Susi, who is no longer able to withstand sleepiness. Since this morning he had to accompany Orange with all his extraordinary fuss. Many times his hands evaporated and closed his mouth.

“Why should I sleep? Even my husband hasn't called me today?” again Orange became a person who forced some time.

“See Non, it's ten at night. Non-Orangic Rest first. Later if Mr. Fajar contact Non Orange, Non can wake up and look more fresh”, he persuaded back by intentionally telling the current time. As if you want to realize if the waiter's working hours are no more than nine o'clock at night.

“Huft” Orange let out a long sigh, his eyes staring at the existing wall clock lazily.

“I want hot chocolate, just take it to my room and bring me some fresh bread and peanut butter” Orange Pinta, who suddenly wants some fresh bread with a sprinkling of peanut butter on it.

Orange began to move to kemar with laziness. He didn't know what to do that night. His eyes never found drowsiness, his heart fretted as if he wanted to cry.

Moments later, Susi comes with a cup of hot chocolate with some fresh bread on a plate. In accordance with the order of the master, he also brought peanut butter.

“Please non this hot chocolate and its bread. Excuse me first. If you need anything Non Orange can directly call me” Susi nodded herself to leave and rest that night. His eyes were only a few watts of energy.

“Baik” reply Orange with weight. Honestly, she still wants a friend tonight. But seeing Susi's condition that can not resist sleepiness makes it unbearable to hold her.

The orange starts to turn on the TV screen in front of it. Korean drama series became the choice tonight to accompany spending the night. The drama that ended with the struggle of two people love each other but can not unite, blocked blessing and caste success made his tears poured out that night. At least he found a reason to cry tonight. Although the sense of crying that is present is not only because of the series that he just saw.

Orange was still crying as he pleased in the room, he finished several tens of pieces of tissue and scattered on his bed. His eyes are red and puffy. He was carried away even to the point of not realizing if anyone had come that night.

“Hay why cry?” a sweet sound that is so familiar in the ear of Orange.

He still did not answer even though he realized that there was a voice that he missed. “Only hallucinations” heavy breath back heard.

Dawn remained silent, standing before the entrance with his hands shortened in the chest looking at his wife's reaction.

“Hay sweep back”

The orange looked up and stared at the source of the sound.

“Mas Dawn? Did ya? Or just my hallucinations?” he was still sitting on his bed. But their eyes looked at each other in a distance not too far away.

“Came on” Dawn hands outstretched waiting for the presence of his wife.

“Mas is this really you?” Orange ran towards her husband. He was still pensive right in front of Dawn, with glaring eyes.

“Iya this I” Dawn smilingly raised the corner of her lips to form a very beautiful arch. He grabbed his wife's chin to look at her face at that moment.

“I miss you”
