The Sugar Mommy

Separation

The atmosphere of Rian and Elsa's household was still cold, no talk had happened between them. Elsa is still unwilling that Rian will go far away from her and Faqih, but her husband still stubbornly wants to work out of town. As a wife, Elsa was worried about her husband. Yes, if Rian will immediately get a decent job there, what if the job that Rian gets is the same when he is here? Whether consciously or not, Elsa's feelings become unpleasant every time she imagines that Rian will go far away from her. A wife has a strong instinct for what will happen to her husband, so when she has that instinct she will not let Rian go. Rian would never understand that, which the man knew was that Elsa was just being selfish by not letting him go because of her feelings.

“In a few days your father will leave us, Son, Mom is sad when imagining it happening.” Elsa who was in the room alone with Faqih began to tell her son who did not understand anything.

“You don't know who else to talk to but you, even if you don't understand what you're saying. But at least I feel a little relieved when telling someone,” said Elsa.

“If you were old enough and could talk, would you also forbid Dad from leaving? I'm pretty sure that you will definitely ban Dad ‘ right? Unfortunately at this time you are still small and do not understand anything.”

Without Elsa realizing that from earlier what she said was heard by Rian who won to enter the room after returning from work. The man stood in front of the door when he heard Elsa speaking to their little son. Rian was pensive to hear the outpouring of Elsa's heart on Faqih, honestly he felt sorry for his wife and child. Rian actually did not have the heart to leave them, but he had to because life needed money. If he is not trying, then who else is? There was no way he would let Elsa work so hard. He is like a useless husband if he allows his wife to be miserable with him.

“I'm sorry, Elsa, I did all this for us. To be honest I'm hard to leave you guys, but I have to. I can't just stay home, work odd jobs here and earn a small wage. Which even the wages are not enough for us, I must fight to give you and Faqih happiness,” muttered Rian while looking at Elsa who is now asleep beside Faqih.

Rian decided to leave from there, he got out of the house. The man sat in a chair in front of his house pensively. Rian thought about Elsa's feelings, what if the woman missed him? How will his wife and child live without him? Rian tried to shake off all that, he should not be weak from thinking that. He must have a strong determination if he wants to give his little family happiness.

Arrive on the day of Hakim and Rian's departure to Jakarta. Rian had woken up early in the morning, he immediately got ready and packed his things along with the clothes he would bring and put them in a bag. While Elsa, she was already busy in the kitchen. She was cooking breakfast for her husband before leaving for Jakarta. Although at first Elsa did not allow Rian to leave and even keukeh asked that Rian stay here, but on the day of Rian's departure, she had no intention of asking her husband to argue anymore.

“I've cooked fried rice and omelet, let's have breakfast together,” take Elsa to Rian who has finished packing his things.

Rian nodded his head, the man walked behind Elsa and they went to the dining table. Arriving there, Rian sat in one of the chairs while Elsa began to scoop the fried rice on an empty plate then gave it to her husband.

“I will definitely miss my fried rice when I am there,” muttered Rian in a voice so small that Elsa could not hear it.

“What did you say?” ask Elsa.

Elsa had no intention of asking further, the woman had breakfast with Rian. Every now and then Elsa glanced towards Rian who was eating, no one spoke between them. Rian who was focused on finishing his breakfast, while Elsa ate while occasionally glancing at Rian.

After breakfast, Rian carried his bag of clothes out of the house. He is currently intending to leave, Judge's car is already standing in front of his house and indeed intends to pick up Rian. Rian stuffed his belongings with the help of the Judge, then the man approached Elsa who was standing at the door of the house.

Elsa just stayed there, staring at her husband who was about to go far away from her. Although actually she was still not willing, but inevitably she had to let her husband go. Until when Rian approached her, Elsa tried not to care about Rian. A cold war still broke out between them even though today Rian was about to leave

“I go first, take good care of yourself here.”

The couple parted with a cold atmosphere, Rian just said so without intending to say a pretty heartwarming farewell. After saying a short goodbye to Elsa, now Rian approached Mak Ratih who was delivering them before actually going to Jakarta.

“Mak, I picked Elsa and Faqih yes. Please take good care of them,” said Rian asking that Mak Ratih take care of his wife and child.

“Yes, Mak will definitely take good care of them. You don't have to worry, Rian,” reply Mak Ratih.

Rian tried to strengthen his heart, after saying goodbye he and the Judge immediately boarded the man's car. In order not to think too much about his wife, Rian deliberately closed the windowpanes. Seeing Elsa and her son make Rian weak and not wanting to leave, she must not.

After Rian died, Elsa entered the house. The woman put Faqih on the bed, then she quietly cried because her husband was gone. Elsa looked at the quiet state of her home. From today on, he and Faqih are alone. No more her husband who often argued with her, no more the voice of her husband who often called her or invited Faqih to speak.

He hopes that Rian's departure will not be a wasted decision, he hopes Rian comes back with good news and success. Because he knew Rian's intention to go to Jakarta with that dream, he could only pray in his heart that Rian would be successful and always in the protection of God.
