Salwa went into her room. In Salwa's room, he went straight up to the bed leaning against the bed board, curled up while hugging a pillow and propped up with his chin. The eyes of the twenty-two-year-old girl clearly showed a sense of disappointment over Arga's words and treatment. How could he possibly lie just for the sake of another woman. Although Salwa realized that he did not have a place in Arga's heart. Salwa turned to a pink frame on the nightstand next to her. The frame and the rubbing of the picture of the brother inside the frame.
"Sister.I miss Salma's sister, very much" Salwa said as she stared at the photo with a sad look and glazed over.
"Did you know, today I am for the first time, feeling disappointed with this marriage. The marriage that I originally thought would be fine as long as we didn't use the heart. I was actually wrong. I think this marriage is getting harder." Salwa wiped away her tears that did not feel falling from her eyes. "I didn't expect anything from Arga at first, but somehow the more I lived my life on the same roof with him, the sense of wanting to have it seemed to appear suddenly. Like a spark that involuntarily grew when it was placed near the chaff."
Salwa took a breath and closed her eyes until her tears began to drip. Salwa's heart was turbulent with no direction or purpose. She does not know why her heart aches more and more when she finds out that her husband is with another woman besides her. "Once again, sorry. But I want to be honest with my sister, I'm starting to not like being horrified or seeing Arga with other women. In fact, I felt jealous when Arga compared my sister to me." Salwa's tears returned to stare at the photo of her late brother. "I'm sorry I'm starting to wish Arga more."
In his heart now, Salwa seemed to only be able to belirih spilling everything without a sound.
At first I didn't expect anything from this.
But in fact, right now I wish for more than I never thought before.
Expect more on a marriage that is not based on the love of both. I was like a traveler who had no place to live, but finally wanted to settle in one of the most comfortable places.
"What if, in the end, I want to have her heart?"
Salwa was stunned, she put the frame back to its original place and rubbed her wet tears against her cheeks.
The ringtone sound of Salwa's mobile phone suddenly rang. From the tail of his eye that glanced, Salwa could see the name of Irsyad's contact listed calling out to him. However, by Salwa was not raised, not himself evil, only at this time Salwa did not want to be disturbed.

The next day, in the hours approaching lunch break. In the office lobby Arga seen Mayang who was bent. It looks like the woman has business with Arga, either personal business or office affairs that make Mayang come to Arga's office this time.
Incidentally, when Mayang was waiting for the elevator door to open, he even passed by Irsyad who also wanted to ride the same elevator.
"May!" said Irsyad who looked like he was in a hurry.
"Hei Syad, where did you get your rush?"
Irsyad rubbed the sweat on his forehead. "Ah yes, I just had a hurry to chase the wrong courier anther package to me," explained Irsyad. "By the way, how come you're suddenly here? Oho! Let me guess, it's definitely not an office affair but rather an affair... This is...!" Irsyad formed a heart beat with both hands placed in front of his left chest.
"What the hell," said Mayang shyly but happy. And not long after the elevator door they were waiting for opened, both of them entered and pressed the floor number button they were headed. For Irsyad he headed up 9 floors, for Mayang he certainly climbed 12 floors to the room Arga.
Inside the elevator cabin the two of them were chatting. It seems that Mayang opened the conversation by asking about Salwa to Irsyad. "Oh yes, I want to ask you."
"What?"
"Gue wants it the same lo, actually Salwa who said Arga cousin he previously lived where the hell! And, even if he was out of town, but how do you think Arga never told you to have a cousin girl Salwa's age?" Mayang looked astonished.
Irsyad also chuckled and leaned his body on the side of the elevator cabin.
"Kok even laugh that's it?" Mayang said astonished by Irsyad's reaction.
"Oh, so you feel weird too? But honestly yes, I do not like Arga's cousin," said Mayang with a cynical tone.
Irsyad immediately replied to Mayang with his plunge. "Alah, you don't like Salwa because Salwa is prettier and younger than you, right? Ngaku!"
"Well, what the hell!" Mayang looked upset and did not accept Irsyad's words. "No need to take on Syad!"
"Cie. sewot, cie Mayang Bestari insecure with her cousin Arga cie.... "
Mayang had reached the stage of unstoppable annoyance, he seemed to want to rampage at Irsyad. Fortunately, the elevator button has shown the 9th floor so that when the door is opened Irsyad can immediately leave Mayang. "Bye Mayang," said Irsyad then exited the elevator.
"Huh fucking Irsyad, it's good that I'm in the same cold as that pretentious chick!" Mumbled Mayang with a tinge.

In the cafe, Salwa looks lethargic and crisp. Even when working on the report, he was less concerned. "Why did I think of Arga Mulu?" tukas Salwa while propping up the chin. Salwa looked at the screen of her laptop that was already showing lunch time. Unfortunately, Salwa did not feel hungry at all today. Suddenly the phone in Salwa's hand was named Irsyad calling. Seeing Irsyad's contact name, Salwa felt bad, because last night had ignored his call. Finally Salwa raised Irsyad's call at this time.
Salwa: Yes hello Irsyad?
Irsyad : Hello Salwa, you finally pick up my phone after a night you do not lift up.
Salwa: Hehe, sorry yes, while I overslept and my cell phone is silent so do not know with me. You phone. (The swamp lied)
Irsyad: That's okay, what matters is that you picked up my phone. I want to take you to lunch today, right?
Salwa: Eh you are (Honestly Salwa is not appetite at all to eat anything. However, Salwa who felt bad because last night had ignored Irsyad too, did not seem to have the heart to refuse Irsyad's invitation this time.)
Irsyad : Salwa...?
Salwa: Oh yes Syad, I would like to. Then we will make a pact
Irsyad: Uh don't make a deal, letting you get ready to go out of the cafe. Now I am in your cafe parking lot.
Salwa: Huh, seriously? Um if you do yaudah, I'm ready to keep me samperin you yes, okay!
Irsyad: Okay ready, I'm waiting...*
