Adam walked quietly as soon as he got home, he spread his gaze across the room. Not finding his wife downstairs, the girl probably sleeping in his room, Adam started climbing the stairs.
He took a deep breath again before opening the door, shaking his head, the shadow of punishment for his delay home, haunting him. Horrified to imagine that currently Ajeng is waiting for him with a face bent in anger, and prepared with punishment that is sometimes unnatural according to him.
Checklots.
The door is open.
" Good." Ajeng had been standing right in front of the door by folding both hands on his chest. " One hour twenty-three minutes eleven seconds."
Adam was aghast, was it true that his wife calculated the time of his delay in such detail. Is it possible that Ajeng only thought about it, how can it be so detailed.
" You're one hour and twenty-three minutes and eleven seconds late, you hear that?" ajeng's voice sounded so intimidating.
" Dear, sorry" he said, touching his wife's shoulder.
" I'm sorry."
" really? thank you dear." said Adam, glad.
" But you must remain in the law."
Whahuh? haduh ... I hope the punishment is not strange.
" I'm sorry, do I need to stay grounded?"
" Rules remain rules, you must remain in law."
" Yes, what's the punishment?" Adam resigned.
" It's better to take a bath first, your body smells of the sun. They also leave at noon, come home almost this evening."
" Hehe." Adam smiled silly while sniffing his own body odor. " I took a shower first."
He rushed into the bathroom, praying, and hopefully his wife changed her mind after she finished her bath. So that he does not need to serve a punishment that he does not know what the punishment will be like.
Adam was stunned to see the change of clothes his wife had prepared, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty. Ajeng forced her husband out of the bathroom and gave her a special change of clothes.
" Dear, is this not wrong? how can you tell me to wear a shirt like this." asked Adam, from the moment he saw it.
Ajeng gave her a pink negligee with a hello Kitty motif.
Sure enough, he kept grumbling in his heart.
" Hurry up, or I'll have you sleep outside!" hardik Ajeng's.
" Can't the punishment be changed, can it be?" door's welding.
" No." she replied briefly.
" Dear .." whining Adam.
Where would he wear a female dress, especially with striking colors and girly motifs so.
" Whatever, the choice is in your hands."
" Hh ..." Adam just breathed a rough sigh. " Yes already then."
Ten minutes later, Ajeng and her husband were watching TV in the living room. Every now and then Ajeng laughs when he sees funny scenes in the card movies he watches.
While Adam who is upset continues to grumble while squeezing the negligee he wears. There was no other choice but that, even though he felt very silly whenever he saw his funny self. Currently he wears a short negligee that is only limited to the knee, the negligee makes him feel tight because it does not fit in his body, too narrow. In addition, the black bando is a polkadot motif with a large band decoration Mickey mouse on it, which is currently perched on its head. According to his wife's orders make him like a mad man, but if not followed, what will happen later if Ajeng will give a punishment that is much crazier than this.

" Why haven't you eaten yet?" sultan said as soon as he saw his wife's dinner rations were intact, lying on the nightstand.
In his eyes was Hanum who shook his head, facing the wall.
" You must take medicine to get well soon, and to take medicine you need to eat first. Want me a bribe?"
Again Hanum just shook his head.
" If you continue like this, there will be more pain. You want to stay in the hospital?"
Hanum started to move, slowly he woke up from his sleep.
The Sultan took the food and prepared to feed his wife, not until the spoon that was thrust by the Sultan touched Hanum's lips. The girl had grabbed a spoon and tray held by the Sultan, she tried to eat by herself even though her condition was still weak. His hands even shook when he lifted the spoon, powerless.
Sultan could what if it was so, it was better to let Hanum do that, than the girl would not eat at all.
.
The day has changed to morning, then noon and more running so fast that it does not feel like the day has returned at night.
Mbok Darmi closed the window curtain, turned on the light and then returned to the sofa, sitting quietly with her husband.
While the Sultan who was peeling an apple, was sitting in front of his wife's bed.
" Eat" he said, handing a plate with peeled apples to Hanum.
Hanum grabbed it, took it a piece and put it in his mouth.
Everyone in the room turned towards the door as soon as a knock came from outside.
Before long a girl with a shrill voice boomed in, accompanied by several people behind her.
Seen Ginar, mother Lili, and also Disha with her husband entered, Disha then put a parcel of fruit that she carried on the nightstand.
They scattered around Hanum after shaking hands with each other, mbok Darmi and her husband chose to come out. While the Sultan chose to talk to Raka at the cafe across the street from the hospital.
" I've heard everything." exclaimed Ginar. " That droper's really crazy huh? already know his friend was married but still be impolite so. That's enough to prove that he actually has a taste for your husband."
Mother Lili and Disha also looked at each other, not expecting Ginar to be so frontal. Hadn't Hanum just recovered, he hadn't even fully recovered yet. Ginar shouldn't have said that, something that could trigger the pain felt by Hanum.
Disha nudged his friend's arm, giving the code so that the girl would shut up. And Ginar grimaced, he only realized that he had let go of talking earlier.
" How are you doing Num?" ask mother Lili. " What did the doctor say?"
" It's getting better bund, there are no significant complaints other than headaches that are still felt. The doctor has also let me go home tomorrow, after seeing my condition."
" Thankfully then, don't think too much, just go through everything, until you're completely healed. After that, just solve the problem one by one."
" Yes bund, oh yeah bund .. there's something Hanum wants to say to you."
" What? just talk to me."
" Most likely Hanum will resign from the bundle boutique, Hanum apologized yes bund, Hanum taste ... Hanum is no longer able to work after being discharged from the hospital."
" Yes, it's up to you because you're going to do it."
" Hanum hope you don't misunderstand Hanum's intention to resign."
" No dear, you know you chose to resign because you have a good reason for it. Mother believes in you, Mother accepts every decision, no matter what. Mommy wants you to know, that we'll all accept you anytime if you come or want to go back to the boutique."
They then hugged, Hanum started sobbing, letting go of his cries there, it felt comfortable to be in the middle-aged woman's arms. The warm embrace of a mother felt by Hanum made her a little calm.
They let go of her arms as Hanum's cries began to subside.
" Solve carefully the problems that occur with your husband, do not let it drag on too long. Talk to her, make a decision once you're cured. Mother supports you, whatever your decision will be. One mother's message, there are no bad people in the world, your husband is just lost, and your job is to get him back on the right path. She just doesn't know that she's doing anything wrong, and again, it's a wife's job to remind her what her husband's fault is. Pursue her, make her bend to you, never let there be a gap between you that makes her fall into the arms of another woman." lili's mother looked at Hanum, her eyes so soft. " One more thing, you have to fight the woman, don't let her win, pay back all her actions, instead of just being quiet. He'll be bigger and more proud if you don't do anything."
.
While in a cafe.
Adam, who was waiting for someone to come, was sitting at a table, his drink had been reduced by half of its contents, but the waiting one had not yet shown the trunk of his nose.
The thought of a cell phone that had been neatly stored in his pants pocket, was about to contact someone. But suddenly someone patted her shoulder from behind.
" I didn't expect, a competent diplomat like you, to not be able to appreciate time like this." Adam snorted.
" There's something I need to finish before I get here." the man pulled a bench, then sat on it.
" Cih! busy." Adam's lips.
" Sorry." sizzled the man. " What do you want to talk about? why didn't you talk on the phone?"
" it's rude to talk on the phone! you're how."
" Why, every time you talk to me, you always get angry? as if I'd ever done you wrong." The man cut you down.
" Once, there's more to it than arguing with you." Adam drank his drink. " There's something I want to ask you."
" Hm." she answered briefly.
" When exactly did you come back to Indonesia?" ask Adam frankly.
" A week after Mauryn's return, why did you ask that question?"
" I'm just surprised by your relationship. You said you were going to split up, but in fact, you haven't officially divorced until today either."
" It's none of your business." he replied indifferently.
" At least you met your son, he gave birth a few days ago. Your baby is so pretty, don't you want to see your son? your flesh-blood?"
" Hah .." there was a long sigh from the man who was in front of Adam at this moment. " I'll see him at the right time, but not now."
" Why?"
" Have it, just discuss something else, I'm lazy."
The right time to target the target.
" Oh yeah, by the way where's your wedding ring? why don't you wear it? are you really going to part with Mauryn? so you don't want to wear it anymore?" adam asked very carefully.
The man glimpsed into the fingers of his left hand, a year ago still emblazoned with a white gold ring as a sign of binding himself with a woman in a sacred bond of marriage. And after that, he did not know why the ring seemed to mean nothing to him anymore.
" Where's your ring?" repeated Adam.
" My relationship with Mauryn has indeed been destroyed, but I will also not act recklessly by throwing away the ring. After all, the ring once tied us up as a couple, which might just throw it away."
" Why don't you wear it?"
Come on, don't turn around, just answer my question.Inner Adam.
" The ring is gone."
Deg.
It felt like Adam's heart was racing faster, his breathing was starting to go irregular.
" How can a wedding ring be lost, you're here."
" I also don't know how the ring got lost."
" Perhaps you forgot to put it, or you missed it in your home in America." lured Adam.
" No way, because I never took it off. I also don't know why I got out of my finger and just disappeared. I've been looking for him everywhere, but I haven't found him yet."
On target. Well then, so the conclusion is that he did. Run from the deadlines of the night with his return to Indonesia, the ring as evidence, enough to convince me that he was indeed the intruder.
" Dam" called the man because he saw Adam daydreaming. " Even daydream."
" Eh, sorry. Suddenly my head is dizzy."
" Yes, then, we go home, I think you want to have an important conversation with me, that's just a chat with no quality."
Your headless chatter is light, you realize that you just said something important that I wanted to know all along.
" Yes, I'm gone."
The man had left before Adam could speak.
So far I still don't understand, if he's really the culprit, what's the motive? why would he want to be rude to Hanum. While Hanum was unfamiliar and also had nothing to do with him at all. Even if he had a grudge against the Sultan, what was the problem? they are not related to each other. Their relationship wasn't too close all this time either, I don't think that revenge motive fits in this matter. Then what's the motive?
" Fuck!" Adam is sneering at his temple, why when he knows the culprit, it is still not clear everything.
There is still a secret behind this incident, he still cannot uncover the motive of the man infiltrating secretly into the Sultan's apartment and trying to harass Hanum.
He returns his device, opens his screen and looks for someone's contact.
" Hello Tan."
" Yes Dam, what's wrong?" sahut Sultan who was in the toilet of his wife's nursery.
" Ck, it turns out that it's true that he did it."
" Apaaa .." cried the Sultan, he was not even aware that his screams could have disturbed his sleeping wife.
" Good god." Adam who was surprised to hear the Sultan's scream almost dropped his phone. " Damn it!" objurgation. " Can't you just not scream like that? my ears are still normal, I'm not deaf, or are you going to make me deaf, huh?"
" Have you confirmed that he did it?" ask the Sultan without any sin.
" Have I come to any conclusions before I really knew anything?" it feels like never, Adam is a typical calculating person, it takes a lot of reason to support every decision. Including when he was sure that Mauryn's husband was the person they had been looking for. " I asked the person directly. And from the answer, I'm sure he's indeed the man we've been looking for all this time."
" Huh." Sultan touched his jaw. " If he did it, what would be the motive? why would he want to harass my wife. He had nothing to do with Hanum at all."
" That's what we need to find out again, at least we're relieved to know who it is. We just need to dig up more information to find out about his motive for committing crimes against your wife."
" Then, how was it, you didn't hit him, did you?"
" It's good, I'm still sane."
" You always play at each time you know the person is wrong." The sultan smiled wryly, his memory going back some time when Adam beat him like a doormat in front of the IGD.
" That problem, because you're more entitled to do it to that jerk guy. I also don't want to dirty my hands by touching them. You forget, I'm a father-to-be, I don't want to set a bad example for my son." Adam joking.
While the Sultan chuckled, he immediately disconnected the phone, and rushed out of the bathroom.
Adam put his phone back in his pants pocket.
Let's see, what the Sultan would do to the man. How manly they are to solve this problem later, I have not seen the Sultan fight for a long time. Is his karate skill still as good as it used to be, or has gotten worse as time goes on. Ah, it feels impatient to see the next exciting spectacle, there is nothing more exciting than seeing a calm man like the Sultan fighting. He was always the king who won the game whenever he got into fights with others.
Adam grabbed his car keys and left the cafe.
