A WIFE'S TEARS BEHIND A CLOWN COSTUME
Message of Joseph

After watching the movie, Setya took Siska shopping at the Mall, and they had dinner together. Siska's face was endlessly beaming tonight, she felt very happy because Setya was so pampering her. Follow all his wishes. They were like a married couple, Siska continued to wrestle spoiled in Setya's hands.

''Where else are we going, Mom?'' siska asked as she and Setya were already sitting in the car. The clock has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening. He put his paper bag in the back seat. Paper bag containing clothes, sandals and bags bought by Setya.

''There's aja. You just sit sweet, yes.'' said Setya while poking Siska's chin. Siska nodded with a knotty smile. Then Setya drove a four-wheeled vehicle owned by Arumi to a five-star dwelling. He will take Siska to the hotel, to vent his lust.

''Mas's phone from earlier continues to vibrate and turn on Siska said while pointing at Setya's phone on the dashboard of the car.

''Leave it.''

''Ma'am Arumi's Pity. Mas's wife must be lonely again.''

''Mas doesn't care. Be happy with you, baby. Please get me Mas's phone and press the off button. So that Arumi doesn't bother us anymore.''

''It's really, really, really.'' Siska said spoiled while pinching Setya's small waist. He is happy to hear Setya who is more attentive to him and ignores Arumi. Siska obeyed Setya's command, he pressed the off button and then after that the phone screen turned dark. Setya smiled looking at Siska who was obeying his wishes. Arumi's business will be all I think about. Thought Setya.

Not long after that the car turned into a wide open gate. Setya then stepped on the brake pedal.

''Mas, this is a hotel. What are we doing here?'' said Siska while looking up to see the big writing contained in the tall building.

''Again, if .... Mas will invite you to feel the pleasure of paradise world Darling.'' Setya fiddled with her eyes looking at Siska with a mischievous smile.

''Ihhh what the hell.'' Siska's face blushed.

''Yukkk out.'' invite Setya, Siska followed Setya step into the hotel. He was wobbly looking at the magnificent multi-storey building. Setya ordered a room with a big smile.

In a different place.

The atmosphere was so quiet, silent. The wind blew greeting Arumi's body, He felt his body so cold. Arumi tightened up the sweater, her hands hugging her body. Several times Arumi felt his neck that was slightly goosebumps, how not, now in his big house it was only him who had not slept, the neighboring house seemed to be quiet as well. He walked back and forth on the balcony of the room. He was so nervous waiting for Setya to come home. The hour hand had been pointing at eleven past forty-five minutes, but Setya still hadn't come home either. Arumi felt very upset, after the call was not lifted, now Setya's number is no longer active. Arumi repeatedly grumbled in the heart.

''Duhh ... Where the hell is Setya going? Asikkk really like he gathered the same cement that the village until he forgot time. Didn't he think of me who couldn't sleep because he was worried about him.'' Arumi muttered still pacing back and forth by stroking his increasingly bulging stomach. Caca was sleeping in his room.

''What do not-don't Mas Setya secretly approached Hanifa, yes.'' Arumi tapped her lips with her index finger.

''But, ah ... No way! Mas Setya'kan had dropped three talaq to Hanifa. How could Mas Setya play with other women, while I was pregnant with his child.'' again Arumi muttered with various kinds of presumptions.

Then he went into the room, because he was tired of standing. He laid his body slowly on the bed by saying Setya's name repeatedly, hoping Setya would come home soon.

Meanwhile, in a hotel room. Setya and Siska make out a friendly gesture, so passionate Setya explored Siska's lips and neck with her lips. He also touched Siska's chest. Siska sighed softly enjoying every touch Setya gave her. Because before he had never felt such touching touches. However, on the sidelines of his fondling, Setya muttered to mention Hanifa's name with his eyes closed.

''Hanifa.''

''Hanifa.'' said Setya on the sidelines of his kiss. Which makes Siska's mood ugly. Setya grew stronger and stronger in Siska's breast, until Siska made a sound.

''Mas, pain ...''

''Sorry, I was too excited. Mas promise after this Mas will be careful.'' said Setya staring fixed Siska. Now he and Siska sat on the edge of the bed in revealing clothes.

''Yes, yes.''

''Yes Dear.''

''Hanifa who the hell is Mas? I don't like you saying her name when you peppered me.'' Siska protested pouting.

''Em ... Hanifa was Mas's first ex-wife. Sorry, Mas release earlier, suddenly Mas remembered him.'' said Setya. The shadows of Hanifa's face always appeared in her memories as she was peppering with Siska. He misses Hanifa so much that he fantasizes that Siska is Hanifa.

''Don't mention her name again, yeah.''

''Yes Dear.''

The next morning at six o'clock in the morning, Arumi woke up with a heavy and painful head. He sat quietly on the bed while yawning widely. He doesn't know when he's asleep. He looked to the side, his face was smiling and looking at Setya who was sleeping so soundly.

''It turns out you're home, Mom. Thank goodness.'' murmured Arumi. He approached Setya. She looked at Setya, then gently stroked her husband's face. Yes, as much as Arumi the same husband who was sleeping. As Arumi was stroking Setya's face and hair, suddenly the look shifted on Setya's neck. She saw a red dot on her husband's neck, right near the jakun.

''It's like a former ... ******. But, the feeling I have nothing to do.'' Arumi was suspicious to see a reddish mark on her husband's neck. He approached the body of the husband and slowly he sharpened his kiss.

''Mmw .... This, this smell, the smell of farpum who this is.'' muttered Arumi with a great beating chest. He would not accept if Setya dared to play behind him. His face that was so cheerful to see Setya who had come home immediately turned red. He got out of bed. He walked towards the jacket hanging on the clothes hanger. The jacket Setya wore last night. Then he picked it up, he tried to kiss the jacket.

''That's right, it's not the smell of my farpum or Mas Setya. And this, this is what?'' Arumi took out a penjang hair that was attached to the jacket, the hair was not just one, there were several strands of hair.

''This is a woman's hair. Huh ... What the fuck!'' Arumi said annoyedly, he threw the jacket at first. Then he came back to Setya. He would wake Setya up and ask Setya what he found this morning. Both of his hands clenched tightly.

In a different place.

Hanifa woke up with a cheerful face. After the morning prayers, he walked to the kitchen, he will help Mbak Marwah cook breakfast menu. This is a routine activity before going to the boutique. After being busy with kitchen utensils and various types of vegetables, meat and spices. Finally Hanifa breathed a sigh of relief.

''Ahaa ... Alhamdulillah has finished.'' said Hanifa once the food has been served at the dining table. Then not long after that Arif and Abdillah sat on the dining table chair. They had breakfast together with Mbak Marwah and Pak Agus also joined breakfast one table with them. Hanifa was indeed that simple, she even treated her workers very well.

''Mother, I leave first, yes.'' said Arif as he shook his hand and kissed. They were standing on the porch of the house.

''Yes Dear. Don't be naughty, said Hanifa by stroking the head of Arif. Arif will go to school with in between by Pak Agus. Arif got in the car.

''Dek, Mas will also leave soon.'' Abdillah said.

''Yes, Mas. Be careful on the road, yeah.'' Hanifa greeted and kissed the brother's hand.

''Alright. You too, are good at taking care of yourself, yes, wherever you are.'' Abdillah's message looked at Hanifa fixedly with a knotty smile.

''Yes, Mas.'' replied Hanifa.

Hanifa waved her hand to release the departure of two cars that walked slowly in tandem. After the car is no longer visible, he goes into the house to his room, he will get ready to go to the Boutique. Before changing his clothes, he picked up his phone lying on the nightstand.

[Alright, I'll pick you up at the Boutique]

[I will accept whatever answer you will give Hanifa.]

Hanifa read the message with a faint smile. The plan, today he will answer about Malik's proposal at that time. They will later go to the restaurant where Malik expressed his love, Hanifa will give his answer by the lake.

Although Yusuf. Hanifa read Joseph's reply with a little groggy.

[Honestly, my heart actually hurts so much. My expectations of you are too great. I thought you'd accept me Hanifa. I thought you were willing to knit a beautiful future with me.]

[But love cannot be forced, however. Slowly I will learn to forget you. Be happy after this, seeing that you and Arif are happy, I feel happy too. I know, the man from yesterday, must be the man who got your heart first. He seems like a good man.]

[Assynoltomodel. Take good care of yourself.]

Hanifa read the message sent by Joseph with a bit of sadness. He doesn't have to, but he has to be honest. After the dawn prayer, Hanifa sent a message to Joseph. Hanifa did not accept Joseph's proposal. Hanifa was sure that someday, Joseph would also meet the same woman who matched him. Definitely from a good woman. Whether it's Hamidah or who. For the soul mate, death, only God knows. We only plan, but God determines the future.

Seriate.

Like, comment, yeah.
