A WIFE'S TEARS BEHIND A CLOWN COSTUME
Wedding Day 1

In a different place on the same day. Arumi who just arrived at his restaurant greeted the friendly employees, the employees were happy to see the boss who turned nice and gentle. After arriving in the room, he immediately sat in a chair. Then he checked his phone which was constantly ringing.

''Aissshhhh just bother.'' Rukukum Arumi while observing a flat object screen with a face snatch. From last night Mama and Setya's sister kept on contacting, asking Setya whereabouts and asking Arumi to transfer some money for them.

[I told you, Setya and I are divorced. Don't bother me anymore and I won't send you the money you asked for!] Arumi sent a message to Hellen.

[Yes. Okay if Arumi's sister is divorced from Mas Setya. But please help me, send me Mas Setya's new number. You see from yesterday I called his number is not active. It's at mom's request. Because Dad is sick. We need money now to treat Dad.] Reply Hellen.

[I don't know Setya's number. Don't ask me again. Try to meet him at his old house, maybe he's there, I just give you a little advice.] Send. Then Arumi blocked Hellen's number. He no longer wants to deal with Setya's family. Actually there is a little pity and care Arumi towards Setya's father, he felt sad to hear Setya's father was sick, because however as long as Setya's father lived with him first, he felt sad to hear Setya's father was sick, because anyway as long as Setya's father lived with him first, Setya's father was a good father-in-law and not much behavior.

In the village, in a one-story house that can be said to be the best house among other houses.

''You can act by cheating behind Arumi. Actually what he was looking for, even though his life was happy and guaranteed with Arumi. Now where is he? Where is Setya? What kind of woman is his affair!'' racau Setya's mother sat on the edge of the mattress with emotion. While on the bed Setya's father lay weakly helpless, the blanket covered half his body, his eyes closed.

''Yes. Setya is so good! How is this, Mom? What about Dad? Because it got news from Kak Arumi about Mas Setya who cheated on him to make Dad's situation worse. Now where do we have to go to get Dad treated in the hospital? Inpatient costs are not cheap, said Hellen. He sat at the end of the bed next to her and held her head.

''Mom will be looking for a loan to a nearby sibling. You go to Jakarta in the morning, follow your Mas. Find him in his old house with Hanifa first. If you have met your Mas, invite him and his affair back here, I want to see what the woman looks like.'' advice Setya Mother. After returning from Jakarta, Setya's father never worked again, because his health was gradually declining. To eat and meet the daily living costs they use the money that Setya and Arumi love. Actually they also have a lot of savings but it runs out quickly, because Mother Setya and Hellen are so extravagant like poya-poya.

As they were chatting suddenly heard the sound of the door on the knock and sallam speech. Hellen walked towards the main door.

''Yes.'' said Hellen ketus once the door was open. When he saw who was standing in front of him, he immediately put on a big smile, his chest suddenly pounding. ''OMG, handsome is very my first love.'' Hellen's inner misbehavior.

''Where's Father?''

''I-There's inside, Dad's sick. Mas Abdillah when to go home?''

''Sick, what pain? Can I see it?''

''Bo-can, can be really.'' Hellen gave way so that Abdillah could enter the house. Hellen followed Abdillah's footsteps from behind with a feeling of uncertainty. Actually Abdillah returned home to give Hanifa wedding invitations to close relatives and neighbors in the village. He also wanted to give it to his father Setya. Because even though Hanifa and Setya's relationship was over, it was not with Setya's father. Setya's father has a kind and sincere heart, Hanifa and Abdillah still respect and care for Arif's grandfather.

''Heh, why are you here?'' setya's mother asked cynically as soon as she saw Abdillah coming into the room. He was shocked to see Abdillah's arrival.

''Dad.'' Abdillah did not comment on Setya's mother's words, he immediately walked towards the bed. He already knew how the original character of the woman who was no longer young.

''Son Abdillah.'' said Setya's father when he opened his eyes, in fact he did not sleep, he closed his eyes to endure the pain in his head and in his chest.

''What's the sick father?'' abdillah asked softly, looking at the man who had been considered like his own father was clingy.

''Maybe Dad will not be living in this world for long, Dad will catch up with both of your parents.'' said Setya's father with a knotty smile.

''Why do you talk like that?''

''I am tired of living in the world. Setya, uhuk ... Uhukk ... The child is getting older the more his behavior becomes.'' Setya's father said weakly in despair.

''Why else with Setya?'' ask Abdillah.

Then Setya's mother started telling her about Setya who had cheated on her again and divorced again. Abdillah did not think that Setya would cross the line, Setya who was known to him well has now changed a lot, lost because of property and women. Abdillah pinned a prayer for the recovery of Setya's father, After that he gave an invitation to Setya's parents, he also slipped some red money into the hands of Setya's father. He passed and will return to Jakarta.

''Oh, how can you, yes, Hanifa can be a handsome and rich husband. What pellets she was wearing.'' Setya's mother said as soon as Abdillah had left.

In front of the main door Hellen stared at Abdillah's departure with a languid feeling. Hellen's age was identical to Hanifa, but he never married. During this time he only dated many men, never the relationship he took seriously because his feelings were still attached to Abdillah, the man he called first love. Which made him hate Hanifa first, because for him it was Hanifa who made him unable to unite with Abdillah.

A few days passed.

Mothers, Fathers, and children who were old neighbors of Hanifa had prepared with their best clothes. Today they will attend Hanifa's wedding.

A large bus had been waiting for them on the highway, in front of the intersection the direction of entry into the narrow alleyway. The bus is sent by Hanifa to pick them up. Because the distance of their house to the party location was quite far, so Hanifa took the initiative to send a large Bus, so, so that all his old neighbors can be present at the wedding without burdened with transportation costs and so that they can also taste a variety of dishes available.

''Come fast ... The bus is waiting for us in front.''

''Yes, let's go with the second way.''

Said the enthusiastic mothers with sumringah faces. In stark contrast to the faces of Setya and Siska, inside the house they were beset with doubts with limp, lethargic faces.

''Go, Sis. Let Mas take care of the house.''

''Come along, yes. Come.''

''Mas is not invited. Shame too.'' said Setya with a tight chest.

''I was invited by Mas, you are my husband. It's okay dong. Not bad Mas, there later we can eat as much as possible without having an envelope, because the word neighbors around us do not need to bring an envelope, but there is no need to be, Hanifa and her husband had a party that invited guests could come for free, eat for free.'' after saying that Siska and Setya's stomach rang. Setya and Siska held their bellies.

prok, prok, prok!

''No, pity the worms in our stomach, for a few days we eat only twice a day in small portions. I'm a very laper Mas, I know you too.'' said Siska sadly.

''Be-good. Then let's get ready, we'll miss the bus.'' Setya said with a bitter smile. Actually, he felt embarrassed if he had to come to Hanifa's wedding, but there was no other choice he thought. Besides being able to eat for free he could also see Hanifa and Arif, although later he had to see two very meaningful people in his life from a distance, but he was already happy, the feeling of longing can be a little treated. In addition, he will also feel happy if Siska can eat at the Hanifa party.

''Yes, come on Mas.'' said Siska pleased.
