Icha and Daniel had dinner together, and Daniel had not talked to his wife for a week. Even rarely met, once they met they had a fight last night.
At nine in the evening Daniel was still sitting on the sofa, waiting for Rani to come out of her room. He wishes he could talk to her, but Rani hasn't come out yet.
Daniel PoVs.
A lot of problems came up this month.
I'm planning to build a new mall in town. My savings over the years were still not enough to pay off the land I bought. Inevitably, I reduced the capital, as a result of which the delivery of goods from PT faltered.
But the land I bought, the land of dispute. Though Deni and I, have been careful there are people who are not responsible for falsifying the Letter of Deed of Sale and Purchase (JB). For a week I was going to hold a coordination meeting with the police and prosecutors. But I'm in a weak position.
Destroyed was my hope, my ambition to make the second Mall run aground.
I went home to talk to Rani. All I know is that he always gives the best solution.
In the middle of the trip I remember still having jewelry savings belonging to Almira. I intend to borrow it first. To cover the capital I pulled out by almost 25 percent.
Arriving at the jewelry house was also raip. According to my story, only my wife is a strong suspect, plus the jewelry box I found under her bed.
No wonder, the fight last night happened. I realized I was being too rude to him. I don't want to be angry any longer, then I'd better get out of the house and sleep in an apartment I haven't been to in a long time.
In the morning I came home. I'd like to apologize, if she needs the jewelry, yeah, I don't mind. I decided not to go to the office today.
At home I saw him on the stairs. But he and I did not greet each other. In the room I was anxious how I could string words together so that he would forgive me. With a strong intention I came out of my room. Searching in his room but not finding my wife. Where's she? my thinking. I waited all day for him at home but didn't come home yet.
"Mbok see Rani no?" My toot.
"I don't know sir, try to call his cell phone, this morning Ms. Rani said she was not feeling well sir, I was told to take Icha to school by taxi" said Simbok.
"Return drive my Icha to the market" "Until home, Mbak Rani is not there, even though there is absolutely no breakfast" Simbok explained.
"Handphone can not be contacted Mbok" I said, I have contacted many times but not active.
I've been waiting for him to sleep on the couch all day. Call him once, but only the operator answers. I chat also tick one.
At last he came home, I noticed the way was very slow and his face was pale. But somehow after meeting wanted to apologize, but my guts shrieked.
He chatted with the symbols, asking Icha but did not see my face at all.
Until maghrib before he did not go down, continued dinner he did not want to go down. I'm getting more guilty.
At nine o'clock he didn't eat. How not to eat anyway..if the pain gemana? my thinking.
"Mbok please deliver dinner for Rani yes" I said because I was waiting for her to come out and not come out.
"Okay sir" I saw a symbol arranging food and drinks and then brought it up. Fifteen minutes later the back cymbok still carries a full tray.
"Kok was brought down again Mbok? My toot.
"Have Mbok persuaded still do not want mister, I am also worried if the pain is nervous?" Ask Simbok.
"Sir exactly what's the problem? sorry if I'm presumptuous, I shouldn't have interfered with your household affairs"
"But it would be nice if there is a problem quickly solved"
"Pending to solve the problem will end fatally"
"It's been a week Rani always moody, sometimes crying alone"
"Simbok has asked many times but Mbak Rani does not want to be frank. Simbok said at length.
I just let out a long sigh, unable to speak anything with the symbols.
"Mbok can I have a private conversation with the symbols?"
"Of course you can, what do you want to talk about?"
"Well, is there a wife who does not want to use her husband's money for her personal needs?
"It depends on the master, only the master can answer the question from the master himself"
"Sir wants to know why the symbok willing not to go home and choose to stay here?" Backtrack asked.
"Yes! why mbok?"
"That's because Simbok was already very disappointed with her husband, because what? because of Mbok's husband, can't be fair with me and my honey." Simbok.
"Master's right, Rani doesn't have honey, but you can't be fair to Rani and Almarhumah Non Almira."
"Kok so bring Almira Mbok? answer me with emotion.
"Master is not aware, the master often compares Mbak Rani and Almarhumah Non Almira"
"That really hurts sir"
"Master has always longed for a wife like Non Al" "Master wants to change Rani's attitude and nature like Non Almira"
"Sir is not aware what you have done is very hurtful Mbak Rani"
"It's only natural that Mbak Rani won't use money from Mister"
"Because Mister impressed stingy, with Mbak Rani"
"Bok!!" I snapped at the symb.
"Sorry sir, if I'm presumptuous! I've been working in this house for years"
"The former master indulged non Al, took him shopping for luxury goods, took him out of the country, bought him expensive bags, expensive shoes"
"But on the contrary, did you ever buy Mbak Rani something, even what Rani likes you don't know?" 😢😢😢
"Silent Mbok!!" I was so emotional hearing Simbok's words.
"No sir, I will not be silent, if you expel me, because I stand up for a fellow woman who is hurt, I am sincere"
"Do you know all this time! if Mbak Rani sells online, sell chicken penyet, gudeg, pastries and bread"
"Make pay for college by yourself, maybe because Mbak Rani has been very disappointed with the master"
"Because Mbok women, experience as Rani mbak feel, always in different - distinguish"
"it's only the difference that Mbok's honey is still alive, so mbok chose to divorce and no longer want to use my husband's gifts"
"I used to struggle hard with my husband, helping him make money so we could both make a home"
"With my honey my husband suddenly bought me a house, with ease my honey got what he wanted."
"I beg you to reflect on the Simbok words"
"I'm sorry, sir, I want to rest." The standoff was intent on leaving me.
"Mbok wait"
"What else is it, sir?" Tanya Simbok stopped and walked back towards me.
"So all this time Rani was selling?" Ask me.
"Yes, sir, I really shouldn't tell you about this, because Mbak Rani said it's better to stand on your own feet than to trouble others."
"But Simbok can not stand, honestly Simbok happy, after Mbak Rani sales, he rarely moody, even often smile, compared to the time he did not sell.
My mind was struck by the words of Simbok, the wife of a successful entrepreneur like me"
"True Simbok so far I have not been able to understand my own wife.
I just realized, indeed all this time I never gave anything to my Wife. So naturally, if Rani to take the jewelry.
"Yes, it's Mbok! Mbok can sleep now." I said.
I went up to see my wife, to her room, again I was confused.
I wanted to knock on the door, many times but undo my intentions. Somehow I have to behave, after all, it is 11 pm and he must have slept.
I finally went back to my own room.

Daniel's sleeping tonight.
The night passed, and the morning came, the sky clouded, representing the heart of the house of Daniel.
Breakfast today is still as usual, Rani is still on hunger strike and does not want to meet with Daniel.
