What is my fault, sir?

Alfian's second birthday was just one week away, Neng was sitting in the dining room with Ani's mother. He wanted to celebrate his son's birthday but would be confused if later many asked why it had been two years since his father Al had not come home. Neng asked Ani's mother's opinion while eating dinner.

"Can I propose, son?"

"Yes ma'am, please!"

"I want to visit my daughter's village, as long as I work and get a salary from you I've saved up, how about you come with me there, just tell the employees if we're going to meet Papinya Alfian in the village?"

"Good idea ma'am, this is gonna make a lot of people not ask me anymore about Papinya Al, I bought a ticket huh Ma'am?"

"Yes, how many days are there?"

"Mom's only up to one Sunday, too,"

Neng bought a train ticket for three people, saying goodbye to employees and college friends if he would meet Papinya Al in the village. While Neng said goodbye to Doctor Harry and his wife wanted to visit the village of his daughter Mother Ani.

They left Saturday morning for the station by car online. This was Alfian and Neng's first long-distance trip. Alfian was very happy while riding the train for the first time.

After two years passed in the luxurious residence of Alfarizi now there is no peace there after one month ago Sinta again plunged into the world of modeling. His promise to focus on taking care of the household when the beginning of adopting Marta has evaporated over time. Sinta often leaves Marta with Baby Sister for days on photo shoot grounds.

Alfarizi's company is growing rapidly. He rarely returns home, often going out of town for days with his new assistant Surya Budiman. Making Sinta finally decided to jump back into the world that raised her name is to be a model.

Alfarizi grew tired of Sinta's spoiled behavior. Finally let her return to the world of modeling. During not plunging into the world of Sinta models also often do not go home with the excuse of gathering with her social friends. Alfarizi never knew if his wife had an affair out there.

Alfarizi is currently in Australia conducting a business meeting. Want to visit oma and opa in-laws. And want to meet with his only sister who attended the fifth semester named Alfarisya Zulkarnain.

In the evening after Alfarizi visited from the house of oma and opa in-laws. He went straight to Isya's sister's apartment. Without knocking on the door Al pressed the password of the apartment that had been sent by his sister via WA message.

"When is coming, where are you?"

"Bang, Isya in the kitchen, come here ready for your favorite dinner!"

"You are indeed the best, still remember the favorite chicken opor Abang."

Alfarizi immediately sat on the dining room chair.Open the dishes and took the rice, chicken opor and sambal terasi. Isya took mineral water and put it in front of Al.

"Where is Neng-?" Alfarizi did not continue his remarks as he spontaneously mentioned the name unintentionally.

Isya frowned when she heard Al calling her by the name of Neng. It had not been with him for a long time, there seemed to be a change in his attitude and language. Isya thought the call was slang in Jakarta.

Alfarizi immediately daydreamed and fell silent as he remembered Neng. It had been almost three years leaving Neng without knowing the news. Spoons and forks are only held, not immediately eaten.

"Well, why daydream, let's get eaten, it'll get cold!"

"Eee yes, thank you."

Al felt that there was something lacking and empty when he was with Sinta. Especially now that Sinta has returned to the world of Al models increasingly feel distant and unnoticed again as before.

"Abang, daydream again yes, is this because of Sinta?"

"No, you're just tired, your brother's fine."

"Can I be honest about Sinta's sister, Bang?"

"Of course you can, what is it?"

Isya took a deep breath and sat down beside Al. Doubtful to say the events of one month ago because there was no evidence that could be shown to Al. Afraid that Al would not believe his words again if the news he heard was a lie.

"One month ago I got news from my college friend, she said she once saw Sinta Kak walking in a mall in Sidney while holding hands with a man in a doctor's uniform."

Alfarizi's eyes widened to hear his sister's story. As if he could not believe if his wife would cheat because only two months ago Sinta became a model. Al recalled the last two months Sinta often went back and forth to Australia Jakarta for photo shoots.

"There's no way Isya, Sinta is only doing a photo shoot if she's here, who's your friend telling you that?"

"My college friend, Bang; he's from Bandung and one of Kak Sinta's fans."

"Does he have any proof?"

"No Bang, unfortunately I'm only in carakatan, but it's up to you to believe it or not."

Al was pensive again, still remembered three years ago despite hesitating to make a decision to stay with his wife. This was done because he was sure that his wife loved him the proof even though he could not give offspring but Sinta accepted sincerely.

Many times Al convinced his heart that Sinta loved him very much. Not believing his own story because there is no evidence. Al thought Sinta just felt saturated not having much activity while being a housewife.

There is an inner war right now in Alfarizi's heart.believe with his wife or his sister. Given when the doctor stated that he would not have offspring. Al again chose to believe in his wife that he accepted what he was,

"Bat's daydreaming again, have I rested, tomorrow I have morning lecture, you want to sleep here or go back to the hotel with Surya?"

"Bag sleep here alone, tomorrow must fly to Malaysia after leaving for Opa's house."

After Isya entered Al's room sitting in the living room of his sister's apartment. He was eager to contact his wife and ask her where she was. Sinta's phone was inactive when Al pressed the green tompol many times.

Then Alfarizi contacted the house to find out where Sinta was at the moment, "Hello, where is Madam now, Auntie?"

"Sorry Master, it has been two days that Madam has not come home, he said he was doing a photo shoot in Bali" replied Bibi who works at his home.

"Did Marta come to Bali?"

"No sir, Miss Marta is with Baby Sister."

Al just took a deep breath, now Sinta never paid attention to herself and Marta again. Always busy with the world of models and their social friends. They only spend time with them and rarely go home.
