Nero is recovering. He was busy with his routine. Midi has not returned from her job. The house is only inhabited by two people, Nero and Widi.
That morning as requested by Nero, they had breakfast with fried rice menu side dish of beef eyes. The man loved Fay's food.
"Today I'm home early, we're having dinner outside. Let's just say thank you for taking care of me," Nero said.
"Yes, Mum." Fay nodded happily. Since recovering from the illness, Nero's attitude was indeed more refined than before.
"I go first." Nero stood up. Fay deftly immediately give lunch. The man smiled in thanks and left.
*****
Nero kept his promise. Tonight the two are sitting down to enjoy dinner at a fine restaurant in the city.
"How are you doing?"
The question Nero had just asked clearly made Fay surprised. "Tumben," Fay's inner wonder is at once happy because it feels noticed.
"Fay," call Nero because Fay doesn't answer.
"Eh .. well, Mas. I mean all smoothly," replied Fay blushed in embarrassment, caught daydreaming.
After dinner Nero invited Fay to relax for a moment on the beach. They both enjoy the waves from the top of the hood of the car, sitting together.
"It's cold, huh, Mas," Fay's fishing rod opened the conversation.
Nero agreed. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket, not forgetting a match. He took a stick, the rest he put on the hood of the car. He used a lighter to burn a cigarette that had been moved in his hand.
"Cigarette, Fay." Nero offered the cigarette casually. Fay simply shook his head, refusing subtly.
"I don't smoke," Fay said, smiling calmly.
Nero put the cigarette and match in his pants pocket. Smoke drifted slowly from his nose and mouth.
"I wonder, what is your motivation for accepting our match?" Nero stared far ahead as he continued to enjoy his cigarette.
"Tumben was curious, what's wrong?" Fay asked back. He was reluctant to answer such questions because it would make him look fragile.
Nero silently looked at his drink. The expression was cold, but a little different. It was as if he was holding on to sadness.
"I don't like my questions to be answered with questions." Nero's gaze turned to Fay's eyes, sharp and piercing.
Fay swallowed his saliva, nervous. A second later, he took a long breath in order to be calmer.
"Your question is strange, my friend. We talked about this on our honeymoon. It shouldn't need to be discussed anymore" Fay protested in a more relaxed voice.
"I'm sure you've been obsessed with me" Nero commented confidently.
"Huh?" Fay gawking. He admitted, his feelings had indeed appeared since the first meeting. But not for obsession. The logic is still sane.
"I'm sure you're obsessed with wanting to have me" continued Nero still with his high self-confidence.
Fay looked at her husband's face with an astonished look. "The fever effect yesterday had an impact, huh?"
"In fact, you had so much jealousy with Widi that you found out about her."
Fay swallowed his saliva tense. Nero took out a photograph that should be in his bag.
"Where did you get that picture?" ask Fay tensely.
"I should ask. Where did you get this photo?" nero toilet.
Fay sighed, trying to calm himself down before he finally explained about his meeting with Widi until he accidentally found the photo.
"When did you meet?"
"The day before he left."
Nero breathed a heavy sigh. Slowly drink his drink. "Other than this picture ... what else do you know?"
Fay confused should be the story or pretend not to know. He chose silence, following the saying silence is gold.
"I hate it when you keep things a secret, Fay." Nero was silent for a moment. "Did Galen know?"
"Yes ..ups!" Fay spontaneously silenced her own mouth which seemed to justify her husband's question.
Drrt... Drrt... Drrt... The phone came in ringing. The eyes of both of them were immediately fixed on Fay's HP. Ance's name is on the screen.
"Ance?" Nero looked at Fay's face. "Where do you know him?"
Fay hurriedly flipped his HP screen. Smiling at Nero, trying not to be nervous.
"Don't Mas!" Late Fay read Nero's mind, as fast as lightning reached the HP.
π "Hello, Ma'am! Ance has the latest news about Mrs Widi. Can you meet me?"
"Talk to me!" answer Nero as soon as he presses the green button on the HP screen.
π "Mas ...."
Tut's. Ance immediately turned off the phone when she realized that the one who picked up the phone was Nero.
"I hope you stop finding out about Widi from untrustworthy sources." Nero returns Fay's HP.
"The evidence is valid, Mas" Fay said.
"What evidence?"
Fay took out a few more photos. All the pictures of Widi were sitting side by side with different foreign men. The background is in Widi's office, on the beach, and also in rooms either hotels or apartments.
"He cheated, Mom!"
"Ordinary photo edited, Fay!"
Fay hasn't given up. Widi's medical letter he took out and put it on the table. "Widi ever had an abortion."
Nero kept quiet, gulped again his drink. His breath sounds heavy.
"Is this a woman worth fighting for, Mom?" ask Fay.
"Please, Fay! Evidence like this could be fake!"
Drrt... Drrt... Drrt... Ance's name appears on Fay's HP screen.
"Hello," Fay replied as soon as he pressed the call button.
Ance asks Fay to press the loudspeaker because he wants his voice to be heard directly by Nero. Fay wanted to comply because both of them were dinner in the VVIP room, there were only two of them in that place.
π "Mas Nero already know that Mbak Widi hobby cheating. When Mas Nero asked to break up, the demonic woman threatened to spread their intimate relationship video on social media."
"He lied!" nero panicked.
π "Oath!"
"Mas, I know you hate lies" challenged Fay to demand Nero's honesty.
"We'll talk later" Fay closed before turning off the phone. His gaze focused on Nero who was increasingly wrong.
"Yes. He's right," Nero said honestly, his head just lowered. "I'm just following Widi's game."
"We have to take that video, Mas!"
Nero looked up at Fay's face. He admitted frustration looking for the existence of the video. Widi's too smart to hide it.
"I'm going to help you, Mom" said Fay touching her husband's shoulder.
"I can fix this problem myself" Nero said.
Fay threatened to tell the family he wasn't allowed to help. Nero growled.
"Come, Mas. Love me a chance to help you get out of this, "please ask Fay.
Nero shook his head, firm on his decision. Solving his own problems.
"I don't want you in danger, Fay. Widi is not a woman. He's reckless."
"I'm not afraid."
"What is your plan?"
Fay smiled in response to Nero's question. For him, the question was a green light to help.
"Let me tell you. Just wait for the result" replied Fay.
