Papah where?

Tomorrow comes. I couldn't close my eyes and fall asleep for a while. Papah, where are you? your phone number I can't call now. What is my fault pah? my phone suddenly sounded.

"Hello Son." I answered my son's phone.

"Well, I'm going to drop off my friend today, after I asked clearly it turns out that my friend has a problem big enough that requires him to stop college temporarily and go home to his hometown in East Java. Can I take him back to East Java Mah?" Ask son.

"By honey, on condition that you take good care of yourself there." My speech.

"Who is Mah, oh where is Mah Papah? I tried calling Papah's cell phone number but it wasn't connected." Saying Son.

"She's gone, baby, maybe Papah forgot to charge his phone." I had to lie again.

"Is that so? yasudah mah I left first yes, pray I survive to the destination." Said pamit.

Such is my Son, always asking for prayer wherever he will go, always informing him of his circumstances. He didn't let me worry about waiting for news from him.

Suddenly there was an incoming message from one of the company employees, he was my friend Lina who used to work together in my husband's company, we were equally placed in the packing department.

√ Aira, you vacation ko ga said tell me anyway?have you forgotten the same me?

√ Holiday? I'm not on vacation lin.

√ Loh, time? I think I saw Mr. Adryan in one of the shopping malls in my town. I happen to be taking my sister on the road. I did see him from a distance but it seems he was indeed Mr. Adryan.

√ Can you give me the full address?

√ Can, can.

I feel relief in me because if it's true that Lina sees my husband means he's fine. But, what is he doing there? looking for antiques? or are you bored of going home? could he have a secret mission? ah I'm so confused.

I prepared myself and told the driver to go to the place that Lina showed me in a short message.

We have traveled half way to our destination. I was finally able to sleep in the car for a while.

"Mom, we've reached Ma'am." My driver woke me up who was still asleep when the car engine was turned off, probably because I was sleep deprived earlier.

"Oh yes sir, wait here!" My orders are with my driver.

I entered the shopping center that Lina mentioned, I know it must be late but what's wrong I tried to find out its existence once again in the hope that I get a bright spot here.

After almost an hour I could not find any clues, I asked some people and I showed them portraits of my husband to some other visitors, but there was still no result.

My eyes began to blacken, my body felt very weak. But I can't just give up. Maybe I was like this because I forgot to eat, finally I filled my stomach with food before returning to continue the journey to find my husband who does not know where he is now.

I threw the finished rice packets into the trash cans that were available near me. Wait, what is that? the box reminds me of someone. Yes, my husband has a habit of folding tissue boxes after he uses them. It could have been someone else's, but my gut feeling was that it was my ex-husband. I regard this as a bright spot of the heart healer who is so curious about its existence.

I asked one of the officers at this place to eat.

"Have you ever seen this guy?" I said while showing a picture of my husband.

"Oh yes Ma'am, this morning I saw this father but only from a distance. I remember because his wife asked for some alpucet fruit without juicing for him." Maid. My husband does have a habit of eating alpuket before eating.

I'm happy to find traces of my husband, but my heart breaks when I hear the word "wife" means my husband is here with another woman?

It felt like being hit by this heavy chest object, asphyxiation.Either go where my mind, all feel drifting without direction. But I don't know where to go. I don't want to point the finger at my husband, whom I know is a loyal man.

"Mommy?" A young man who was looking at me.

"What are you doing here? Mama's here with Papah? where is Papah Mah? why does Mom look sad? what's up, Mah?" Further asked.

"Dad Son. Papah's having a business meeting in town. Mamah bored then come here, you yourself son? what are you doing here?" I asked my son.

"So I called Mamah this morning, didn't I tell you I was going to my friend's place? we stopped by here first, mah, I'm hungry. Uh yeah, meet this mah my friend Ardi." He said while introducing his friend to me.

We shake hands, I force the look of this face remains as cheerful as usual.

"Where is Papah meeting Mah? we go there yuk. I want a surprise. Mom don't tell me I'm here." Persuade him while smiling widely. Forgive Mamah Nak, Mamah confused to have to explain where to start.

"Why did you go home alone? I'll just take you here. You take good care of yourself. Keep thinking clearly whatever your problem is." My son said to his friends, they parted after eating.

I got my son in the car, he was hoping I'd take him on his papah. But throughout the journey we just turned around somewhere, pity the driver who looked confused.

"Well, it's still far?" Ask my son with curiosity and confusion. I could not answer, I just gently stroked her thick black hair and smiled.

Realizing something was strange, my son asked again, What really happened? I couldn't help but cry, I couldn't keep pretending in front of him, in front of the child I was taught to not lie.

"I'm sorry Mamah Nak, actually mamah here looking for Papah, where we met earlier papah eat with a woman. Mamah thought it was his business partner. It has been two days Mamah tried to contact papah's phone, but never lifted papah and now the number can not be contacted. You are confused, you are afraid, what should you do? Where else should you go?" I try to explain.

"Be calm, ma'am, calm down." He hugged and lifted me up. It felt more comfortable after I told my flower everything, a little burden had gone from my body.

"Well, what did Papah bring? clothes, stuff, perfume? Papah brought Mah's perfume?" Ask son.

"No son, Papah's perfume is at home." My speech.

"Will it never be comfortable to go out without perfume, right, Mah? Papah also does not carelessly buy perfume with other scents. Sir, our driver is going to the biggest perfume place in town. Let me search the internet first for the address." Saying son.

Easily all accessible. We went to some of the most famous perfume shops in the city, we asked about the perfume my husband always bought and showed him a portrait of whether he went to one of the perfume shops in the city or not.

At the 4th store we found the scent that my papah always looks for when the perfume runs out. Don't forget I asked and showed you a picture of papah.

"Yes, yesterday this father bought a perfume with the same aroma here." Answer the shop owner.

"really? is he here himself?" Ask son.

"No Dek, he's with Bu Ratna's niece, the owner of a clothing store across the street." Answer the shop owner.

I saw such deep disappointment in my son's eyes, his eyes began to condense and look at me.

"What's wrong, let's go to the store sebrang, we ask who knows there is information." My speech.

We rushed there immediately.

"Sorry Mom, just go ahead. I'd like to ask you if you have a niece?" My son tried to ask the store owner

"Niece of the daughter? who are you?" He asked who we were.

"I..." It's not over yet my son replied.

"Oh yes, until I forget. You're Rani's friend who's going to do chores together this afternoon, aren't you? Rani is away with her brother and husband, just waiting for ya." Said Ms. Ratna.

"Sister and husband?" Ask son.

"Yes, Riani's sister. Her husband just came from town." Definitely Ms. Ratna.

"Sorry Mom, do you have any nieces besides Riana and Rani?" I want to convince myself. I hope my guess is wrong, I hope it's not Riani who accompanies my husband to eat and buy perfume.

"No, I've only had them since we moved in. We're just three." Answer ms. Ratna.
