It's time to get home from work, but Danu's still not home. Several times Mia opened her phone but there was no call or just a short message from Danu. Her heart ached, because her head imagined that her husband was currently with another woman. What hurts is that Mia already has more feelings for Danu.
"Mia, where's Danu?" asked Mr. Ferdinan when he saw Mia coming out of her room alone.
Where's Danu? What kind of question is that? Isn't Danu the son of Mr Ferdinan? Why did Mr. Ferdinan ask about the whereabouts of his son, while his son said that he would meet. That's right, her husband was meeting with another woman. Danu, given that name, her heart aches like a sayat sembilu.
"Mas Danu has a little business pi" said Mia covering everything from her in-laws.
Although her marriage was just a pretense, Mia did not want her father to know Danu's rottenness. Putrid? Ah maybe not either. It's just that right now Mia is thinking badly about her husband.
"What time does he come home?" ask Mr. Ferdinan.
"Maybe till Pi's night" replied Mia.
"Maybe?" asked Mr. Ferdinan a little suspiciously.
"Yes because the name is also the same business pi friends. Usually if you have met so discuss the others," said Mia with a smile.
Mia had to hide her pain. Enough of him to know all his feelings.
"Yes, let's go home, papi" asked Mr. Ferdinan.
Mia nodded and followed her in-laws to go home. On the way, Mia asked a lot about the company to her in-laws. Not only was he interested in the company, but right now Mia was just shifting her mind.
Mia thought, instead of thinking about her husband who was cool with his girlfriend, she better look for a lot of useful things from him.
Mia began to prepare herself again to become a widow. Mia often heard that her husband said he would never divorce her. But seeing this reality, Mia will not be strong if she has to be cheated.
Mia felt that her status was useless at all. His presence means nothing at all. While with Haji Hamid, Mia still feels like a wife because she serves the birth needs of Haji Hamid. Although he never got the inner needs at all, but Mia was comfortable with his position. And with Danu? Mia doesn't even serve her husband's birth needs at all. Not a week before her marriage to Danu, Mia already felt very tormented with jealousy.
It's only been a week, what about a month? A year? Mia is not sure that her marriage will last long with Danu. Holy hooch! What did Mia think? Mia immediately went to cleanse her body.
Even in the bathroom, Mia still could not get rid of her bad thoughts. Inside the bathtub, Mia soaked her body with warm water. Mia closed her eyes to calm her mind. But the pain did not go away. After finishing the bath Mia sat in front of the dressing table. He looked at his face in the mirror. She pulled her hair slightly wet and rubbed her cheeks.
Mia looked down languidly lamenting her fate. It feels like Mia just went to go to see her mother so that she was released from the burden of life that never ended.
Marrying Danu was no better. Mia dropped her body on the bed. He felt very tired. Not because of work, but his mind that felt very tired. Mia looked at the clock that was coiled around her wrist. It was six in the afternoon. Danu hasn't come home yet either. He saw his phone, there was no word from Danu.
Maybe Mia should get used to not being with Danu. Mia must accept the fact that they are not real husband and wife. Their marriage was just a covenant.
Time passed but Danu still did not come home. Mia's sadness is deep. His longing for Danu was very painful for Mia.
The sound of knocking on her bedroom door, made Mia aghast. His heart is a little bit of a flower. Could Danu have gone home? But the flower in her heart had to wither instantly because it turned out that the one who knocked on the door was Madam Nathalie who invited her to dinner.
Mia tried to always smile and hide the burden in her heart. Until finally Madam Nathalie's question made her feel tight again.
"And what business is it? Why haven't you come home?" ask Mrs Nathalie.
Mia shakes. Mia can't lie anymore. She did not know why her husband had not returned.
"Mia, what's wrong with you?" ask Mrs Nathalie.
Mia tried to strengthen herself so as not to look weak in front of her in-laws.
"I'm not feeling well" said Mia.
"Let me call a doctor for a moment" said Mrs Nathalie.
"Don't!" mia panicked.
"Why? You must heal" said Mrs Nathalie.
"I-i'm scared. I drank enough mixagrif," said Mia nervously.
"Mixagrif?" ask Mr. Ferdinan.
"Yes Pi. Doesn't exist here?" ask Mia.
"What medicine is that?" ask Mr. Ferdinan.
"Flu medicine" replied Mia.
"Where's the recipe?" ask Mr. Ferdinan.
"From the late mother," answered Mia.
Mr. Ferdinan and Mrs Nathalie stared at each other with shrunken foreheads. Mia caught that signal and immediately explained about Mixagrif's recipe.
"Mom always gives Mia mixagrif that Mia has this flu. Mother said, mixagrif is a powerful medicine and Mia has proven all that. Mia usually drinks twice a day. Tomorrow, Mia's gonna be cured." Mia at length explained about mixagrif.
Mia's explanation did not enter the heads of her two in-laws. They do not seem to know the drug that has always been Mia's mainstay.
"Call the doctor!" pinta Mr. Ferdinan.
"Don't pi. Mia has a stock in the room" said Mia. Mia did not want to until the doctor examined her and there was no problem with her.
Finally Madame Nathalie and Mr. Ferdinan relented and let Mia take her flagship drug because she did not want to argue with Mia.
Until dinner is over, Danu still hasn't come home. Both of his parents were worried. Since getting to know Mia, Danu has rarely come home tonight like this. But why exactly after marrying Mia, now Danu comes home the other night. Is it possible that Danu is back at the club?
"Did Danu say which friend she wanted?" ask Mrs Nathalie.
Which friend? Mia doesn't even know for sure. Could it be that he met with Dr Arumi? Danu himself did not tell him who he would meet.
"Mia forgot Mi. Never mind, anyway mas Danu may not have met his friend for a long time. Mia understood, mas Danu is saturated with work. There are times when friends can make the burden of Danu mas so lost and back the spirit of work again.
Mrs Nathalie gave the code so that Mr. Ferdinan would not refute Mia's words. The more refuted, Mia will get sadder and become bad-minded about Danu.
Madame Nathalie is very happy when she sees Mia so trusting and not curbing Danu. He realized that Danu could not be restrained. The more restrained, Danu will be more and more.
Mia came into her room to rest.
"Mi, if tonight mas Danu does not come home, do not be scolded!" mia Pinta.
Nonya Nathalie nodded. After Mia returned to her room, the couple went back to discussing Danu. Mr. Ferdinan was really disappointed with Dnau's attitude. The two thought after marriage, Danu would get better. But in fact Danu actually returned to his bad habits.
Time passed but Danu's figure did not go home and his phone was not active. Some of Danu's friends have already been contacted and do not know about Danu's whereabouts. They get more anxious when the clock shows at one o'clock in the night.
"Pi, how's this?" ask Mrs Nathalie.
There was a rumbling sound outside her room, Madam Nathalie ran away and saw what was happening. Mr. Ferdinan followed his wife to check out the commotion of what was happening outside.
"Andu?" shouted Madame Nathalie.
The danu? Hearing her mother-in-law's screams, Mia immediately went out to meet her husband. But his steps stopped when he saw a female figure who drove Danu.
"Arumi, what happened to Danu?" shouted Madame Nathalie.
"And you're drunk, aunt. I forced her to go home even though Danu forced me to drive her to the hotel" replied Arumi.
The arumi? Drunken up? The hotel? Mom lost her body balance. Mia held onto her chest and collapsed. His chest felt tight and very painful. Mia was sick when Danu was with another woman. Mia was crying and regretting her feelings. Why should Mia care about Danu? Why should I be jealous? Does Mia love Danu? I don't know for sure Mia feels happy and sick if it's related to Danu.
"Miaaaa," cried Lady Nathalie.
Mia rubbed both of her cheeks and braced herself to meet Danu.
"Mas," called Mia in a soft voice.
Seeing that Danu was drunk, Mia could not hold back her tears.
"Miaaa," called Danu with eyes closed and a mouthful of alcohol.
"Yes mas. This is Mia" said Mia holding Danu's hand who moved to look for her.
"Mia, Mia," Danu kept calling Mia.
"Give him to his room!" pinta Tuan Ferdinan on the security that helped Danu to get into the house. Because at the time of getting off the car, Danu was already running staggered until he had to be helped by security.
Danu was lying in her room. Both of his parents returned to rest. Only the woman named Arumi was standing still standing in the doorway watching how much Mia worried Danu.
"Mia," call Arumi.
"Yes" answered Mia.
Mia stopped her hand massaging Danu's hand and turned her back to look at the caller.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" ask Arumi.
"Can. Please sit!" mia invited Arumi to sit on the sofa.
"Do you love Danu?" ask Arumi.
"What does that mean?" ask Mia.
"I know all about Danu. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Be honest with me about how you feel!" said Arumi.
"Are you her lover?" ask Mia.
"Yes" answered Arumi.
Mia's eyes were perfectly rounded. He could not believe that Arumi was saying something beyond his expectations.
"But that was before. Ten years ago," continued Arumi when she saw Mia was very sick to hear her answer.
"Then?" asked Mia who did not understand the meaning of Arumi's question.
Arumi looked at the circular clock on her smooth white wrist. It's two o'clock in the night. It's better tomorrow, tonight let Mia spend some time with Danu.
"Tomorrow, when you have time I want you to see me. Don't let Danu know about our meeting. Can you?" ask Arumi.
Mia stared at her husband who had fallen asleep under the influence of alcohol. Then he looked towards Arumi who was still waiting for his answer.
"Can" answered Mia.
"This is my business card. Call me if you have time" Arumi said, handing over a business card.
While going home, Mia arrests Arumi. Mia who always thought well of anyone, was worried when Arumi would come home. Though Arumi is a woman who has delivered her husband in a drunk state.
"Just sleep here!" said Mia.
"No, there's someone waiting for me in the car." Arumi smiled in response to Mia's kindness.
"Oh yeah? Who?" ask Mia.
"My husband" replied Arumi.
"Husband?" mia asked in disbelief.
"Tomorrow I tell you everything, so you don't misunderstand my relationship with Danu" Arumi said.
Mia nodded. "Be careful" said Mia.
Arumi did not expect that Danu's wife was very beautiful and friendly. When compared to Arumi, Mia style does look kampung. But Arumi admitted that Mia deserves to be with Danu.
After Arumi's departure, Mia approached Danu and lay down next to her husband. Mia faced her body looking at Danu's face. Her face calmed Mia's heart. The existence of her husband makes Mia feel that the jealousy has disappeared. Especially when hearing information from Arumi about her status who already has a husband. At least Mia can calm down, let alone Arumi will explain everything tomorrow. Mia looks at the cards given by Arumi. He put it in his pocket and closed his eyes to sleep.
Sleeping too late makes Mia wake up late. When he woke up, Danu was no longer in his room. Mia looked for him and asked Auntie. It turned out that Danu and Mr. Ferdinan had already left for work, while Mrs Nathalie was going out of town for her new venture project.
Mia thinks this is a good opportunity for her to go out to meet Arumi. Mia called her husband to apologize for not being able to enter the office not even preparing her work clothes. Then Mia also asked permission to go to the mall for a while. With the reason of buying new work clothes, Mia is easier to get out of the house.
Shopping is what Danu always suggests to Mia. Because according to Danu, Mia's lifestyle is too irritating. Danu doesn't like that. Danu doesn't teach Mia to be extravagant, but Mia also has to adjust herself to be more stylish in her class.
Now Mia is no longer a village person, but the wife of an only child owner of a large company in Indonesia. Danu said all that several times, but Mia never responded. Until when Mia said she would shop, of course welcomed by Danu.
After getting permission, Mia immediately contacted Arumi. Arumi gives an address for them to meet, but Mia refuses and asks to meet at the mall only. Not without reason, Mia will be out escorted by her personal driver. If somewhere else, Danu could be suspicious. Mia must get all the information about Danu without her husband's knowledge.
