1. PROLOGUES



Erika took a breath and exhaled violently trying to expel all sorts of crammed flavors in her heart.


This was the umpteenth time Erika had tried to contact Hans. Again - again the voice of the operator replied


"The number you are going to cannot be reached..."


The more she tried to contact her husband, the more uncomfortable it became. There is a sense of uneasiness that is difficult to explain and continues to interfere with his feelings.


Brrrmmm....


Tap....


Erika walked quickly towards the door. Hope there's a sweet Hans car stop in front of the house. Erika wants to be able to greet the driver with a hug and kiss as usual.


"Not Brother Hans.." murmured Erika softly to herself.


Even though she knew it was not the sound of Hans' car, Erika reflexively ran whenever there was the sound of the car stopping in front of the house.


"Sister Hans, where are you?" Erika decides to send a message to Hans. As expected, Hans's WA chat tick one.


It's possible that Kak Hans' cell phone battery is running out.


Erika tried to calm herself down.


Erika finally decides to wait for Hans while sitting on the terrace hoping that her feelings will be better.


But it seems that today all compact makes him fret. In Erika's view, the grass in the garden is not as green as usual. The leaves - the leaves look withered. Colorful flowers also seem - if coming down. Even the garden lights felt dimmed along with Erika's restless heart.


Ck...this isn't what, OK? It must be because I want to come to the moon, my feelings become more sensitive, and erratic. (Erican)


Erika repeatedly glanced at the clock on her phone while continuing to try to contact Hans' number. The conditions are still the same. Hans's phone is off.


Despite knowing Hans' phone was off, Erika kept sending messages to Hans.


The outcome? Of course the message was not sent. But it's fine. At the very least, Hans will later know how restless the wife is waiting for him who does not come home. And without news.


While continuing to hope for a response from Hans, or at least the message turned into a two-tick. Erika kept sending messages to Hans. Starting from a sweet message, turning into a worried message, even ending with a typical nagging wife because the husband does not go home.


During the 15 years of marriage, Hans never let them lose contact for a long time.


(lost contact \= lost contact)


To Erika, Hans was a standby husband. With just a message or a miscall, Hans must have contacted his wife immediately. No matter how busy he is, he must have taken the time to call or just send a short message.

10 O'clock at night


The outrageous!! Erika cursed in her heart. He was very angry, although he did not know what made him angry. His chest feels tight.Wish to spill all of its contents. But to whom and where?


While holding all the flavors, the removal of make up and the release of a knee-length dress in salem color. Today Erika did deliberately dress up a little to welcome Hans home. The hope was that Hans would come home and be happy with his beautiful appearance. But often expectations are different from reality.


Anxiety, anger, disappointment, and anxiety all mixed into one. Don't know where to look for Hans. I don't know who he should complain to. Until finally Erika can only resign.


Desperation made him kneel near his bed. Unknowingly, his mind continues to pray in the hope that his prayer can reach the husband.


Oh my God, what is this? Please take care of him out there. I leave my husband, Hans Sanjaya to you. Don't let him fall into temptation, protect his safety. Always remember that your wife and children are waiting at home. I...worry about it...


Tired waiting.


Tired of prejudice.


Tired crying.


Erika finally fell asleep....


****


Midnight


Drrrrtt.....


The sound of the phone's vibration shocked Erika. Buru - rush grabbed mobile phone from the top of the nightstand.


BROTHER HANS CALLING


Without further ado, Erika immediately charged Hans with probing questions.


"Where?"


"Where from?"


"When are you home?"


"Why is there no news?"


"What's wrong with your phone?"


"Why is it once a night?"


..............................silences....................................


"Sister Hans....???" erika's tone of voice was a little high and unpleasant to hear because she did not get any answers.


"Please open your door.." finally a voice came from across it.


DEG!!


Why is Hans' voice weak? (Erican)


"Are you sick?" Erika who had been upset suddenly felt anxious.


NUuut......


There's no answer. Phone's turned off....


Erika rushed to run towards the main door with an erratic feeling. There was a bit of relief tucked away as Hans finally came home. Erika tried to forget for a moment the curiosity of not being able to contact Hans. The most important thing right now is that Hans is home.


Ohhh!!! Suddenly guilt caught up with him. Hans was sitting on the porch. Her face was dirty and her eyes were also beautiful. His shirt was crumpled and removed from his trousers, plus three buttons of an open top shirt. Hair is far from neat.


Brother Hans looks tired.... (Erican)


"Mommyyyy", he said with a tired smile. His hands stretched out ready to hug Erika.


Oh, Erika was embarrassed for being prejudiced. Hunt him into Hans' arms. Then kiss her like every time she comes home from work.


Hans held it tight as if he hadn't seen each other for a long time. There's a warm slurping in Erika's heart. And also. .there was a longing felt in Hans's arms.


Mood swing really made me crazy until I suspected Brother Hans. (Erican)


Before long Hans unraveled his embrace and steps straight towards their room.


"Lho... Why don't you eat brother? Sick later. Last afternoon, I was cooking. Wait, I heat for a second. Or just want some fruit?" Erika is in a hurry to the kitchen.


"Make it tomorrow. I'm so tired. Today was overtime in the office." Hans replied as he passed towards their room.


Without saying much, Erika hurriedly cleaned the dining table so that she could catch up with Hans soon. There were a lot of things he wanted to ask Hans.


***


Upon arriving at the room, Erika was stunned to find Hans had already slept and a snoring sound was heard. The shirt and trousers that Hans was wearing were just lying on the floor.


Slowly Erika sat down beside Hans, watching Hans' tired face. Guilt returned when he saw the fine strokes that began to appear on Hans' face. Some white hair appears on the head. All of this shows how hard he worked for the family all this time.


Erika's heart felt full and her affection was so swollen in the chest. He kissed Hans' forehead and cheeks feelingly. He pulled a blanket to cover Hans' body and did not forget to reset the room temperature so that Hans could sleep comfortably.


The last time Hans's dirty clothes were taken to the basket.


................................................................................


PLUCK IT!!!


A small piece of paper fell out of my pocket reading Me*tshop & G***met, the name of one of the city's famous steak restaurants.


The date is written today.....


Payment time at 20:19 ....


Holy hooch! Erika was just relieved that Hans had come home. I even felt guilty for being prejudiced. But the piece of paper again made Erika feel unsettled.


Yep. Erika knew something was hidden by her husband....
