A WIFE'S TEARS BEHIND A CLOWN COSTUME
Chapter 45

''You shouldn't be here!'' Abdillah said softly but with great emphasis. His eyes stared at Setya's black bead fixed, emitting a very intense annoyance. He really did not expect Setya dare to come to the wedding of Hanifa. And now he's dirtying his clothes. Clothes made especially for parties.

''But ... I dared to come here for accompanying my Wife, My wife got the invitation, emm.'' Setya spoke nervously with a choked voice. Then he lowered his head back. This time he was really embarrassed and humiliated. In the past, he and Abdillah were so close friends, but now, even just to look at Abdillah's face he felt he had no courage, all the mistakes he had made were fatal, now he regretted many things. ''Suppose time can be turned back to the massalu, then I will take care of Hanifa and Arif with all my heart, I will reject the cheap appeal of Arumi.'' inner Setya while twisting the ends of her clothes. While Siska who saw from a distance far enough felt sorry to see the pale and tense face of Setya. Although he did not hear what Setya and Abdillah were talking about, he could have guessed that the husband was not okay. ''Who is that guy, that handsome guy? Duh ... Kasian Mas Setya, after all not very becus so people, can-can rice and side dishes spilled about the handsome Mas clothes.'' Inner Siska snorted annoyed.

''Oh ... Alright. Enjoy the food available here. Don't make a fuss at Hanifa's wedding. You just sit down and see for yourself the happiness that is being felt by Hanifa and Arif. Remember that! Don't act. I don't want the invited guests who are the company officials to know that you are Hanifa's ex-husband. Cihhhh, what a shame. Look at your appearance, it's sad Abdillah said again right in Setya's ear. It makes Setya more nervous. Abdillah scanned Setya's appearance from toe to head, an appearance far removed from the one Setya was familiar with. In the past, Setya always kept his appearance, kept clean and tidy. But now his appearance looks a little seedy, hair starts long, beard and mustache that began to grow, pants and shirts that look dull and also his body is getting thinner. There's no cool at all.

''Thank you Abdillah. Sorry ... Sorry for everything that happened then and now.'' said Setya with a hoarse voice accompanied by teary eyes.

''Forgive you too late, now there is no use.'' lontar Abdillah, then he passed from before Setya. Actually, he felt sorry for the situation Setya was in, but, considering what Setya had done to Hanifa and Arif first, he felt very angry, it felt like he wanted to beat Setya. Because Setya did not hear his mandate to take good care of Hanifa.

Setya took the rice again, once the rice and side dishes were united in the dish then he approached Siska. Siska smiled with relief at the husband who was not in any way by Abdillah. Abdillah went into the house to change her clothes.

''Do you need my help? Your clothes are so dirty Abdillah.'' asked Hamidah who walked following Abdillah into the house.

''No need for Hamidah, I can take my own change of clothes. Thanks.'' Abdillah turned to face Hamidah, then threw a knotty smile.

''Oh alright. Then I go out first, yeah.''

''Yes.''

Hamidah walked out to meet the invited guests who were his neighbors, then he chatted with them. Not long after that he saw Joseph coming with a woman he did not know.

''Finally Joseph came too.'' said his mother Yusuf smiling warmly. He sat next to Hamidah.

''Emm ... Who is that woman Ustadzah?'' ask Hamidah curiously.

''It was Ameera, his friend Yusuf Hamidah.'' replied Joseph's mother.

''Oh ...''

''Beautiful, yes.'' chirped the mothers who sat with them.

''Is it not long before Mr. Joseph will soon follow Hanifa?'' another mother said with a small laugh.

''meaning?'' ask Joseph's Mother.

''I mean, will Mr. Joseph and that woman also marry Ustadzah soon? They look harmonious.''

''Ac ... We pray that Joseph will soon find his soul mate. So we can throw a party in our alley.''

''Amin ..'' said them simultaneously.

Joseph and Ameera walked directly to Hanifa and Malik. Hanifa and Malik smiled at the arrival of Joseph and Ameera, they were warmly welcomed.

''Yes ... Come with you guys apparently. There seems to be progress nih.'' Malik's seduction while shaking hands with Joseph, Ameera and the two Ameera parents.

''Isn't.'' Ameera replied with a shy smile and a blushing face.

''Congratulations, yes, Hanifa, Malik. May your little family always be blessed with happiness and also may Samawa always.'' said Yusuf sincerely. He looked at Hanifa still with the same feeling, his chest lightly rustling. Moreover, Hanifa who looks very beautiful makes her feel privileged in the heart. He was happy to see Hanifa happy, although Hanifa's happiness did not come from him, but he was relieved.

''Yes. Thank you for coming to Mas Yusuf, Ameera and also Om, Aunt. It seems after this that Mas Malik and I will be invited guests.'' Hanifa replied with a fluffy smile.

''You pray, yes, '' said Mama Ameera with laughter. Ameera was misbehaving, while Joseph was being ordinary. Then after that they did a photo shoot. Finished taking pictures together, the Ameera group headed for the seats that had been available. ''Please enjoy the dishes available, yes.'' Hanifa told Yusuf's entourage.

Joseph, who saw his mother's whereabouts, walked straight to his mother and introduced Ameera to his mother and other neighbors.

''Hamidah.''

''Ameera.''

''Shit, yeah, honey?'' malik asked, he stroked Hanifa's back slowly. As soon as the guests were gone they sat for a while quietly.

''Yes, appreciable. But I'm happy. Thank you dear.'' replied Hanifa looking at Malik lovingly.

''Same-bye Honey. Later that night let the mas pijitin, yes, yangg.'' whispered Malik lirih who managed to make Hanifa's face warm.

''Yes.'' Hanifa replied.

As they were chatting, suddenly the invited guests came again.

''Dad.'' said Hanifa when she saw who came to her.

''Hanifa, you are so beautiful, Nak.'' the middle-aged man said in a hoarse voice.

''Dad ''Father. I didn't expect Dad to come. Thanks, yeah. And thank you also to Mother and Hellen.'' said Hanifa sincerely, there is no hatred in her heart for the Setya family. And he also forgave Setya. For him there was no point holding grudges and resentments. Because now he is happy with Malik, a man who loves himself and his son sincerely. Hellen and his mother put on a flat face. ''Ih .... Kok Hanifa was very lucky, now she even got a handsome and rich husband. Which husband-to-be, huh?'' inner Hellen while looking for Abdillah's whereabouts. Setya's mother looked at Mama Malik who was standing next to Hanifa, from earlier Mama Malik smiled kindly towards her, but she instead put on a hostile face. ''Uh ... When will I have a beautiful ring and bracelet like that, yes.''inner Mother Setya envied to see Mama Malik, from earlier the focus was fixed to the hands of Mama Malik. The fingers are circular beautiful diamond rings and the wrists are circular sparkling pearl bracelets.

''Congratulations, yes, Hanifa and Mr. Malik. Granddaughter Grandpa, how handsome you are.'' Setya's father took Arif into his carriage. He had a little trouble holding Arif's body which contained.

''Grandpa. Is Grandpa sick? Why does Grandpa's face look a little pale?'' said Arif saw his grandfather was clingy.

''Arif's healthy grandfather, Setya's father replied with a smile. He was pleased that Hanifa and Arif welcomed his arrival well.

''really?''

''Yes.''

''Grandfather, Arif saw Dad.'' said Arif who managed to make all shocked.

''Dad, where?'' ask Setya's father.

''In situ ..'' point Arif towards the guest chair. When he called Abdillah and Hamidah he saw his father eating with Siska.

''Setya might not have come here. Little children like to make things up.'' said Setya's mother does not believe.

''Really, Arif is not bo'ong. Arif saw Dad was so greedy to eat with a woman. Dad's turning ugly now, yeah. What Dad has got in return from God because Dad used to be evil as Mother and Arif.'' Oceh Arif with a typical voice of children. Hanifa believes in it because Arif is not good at lying.

''Dear, you can't say that.'' said Hanifa advising.

''Arif still hates Daddy! Now Arif only has a handsome Papa.'' Setya's father felt claustrophobic about Arif's words. Then he put Arif's body back. Because he was no longer strong carrying Arif's body.

''Dad.'' Abdillah suddenly approached.

''Abdillah''

''Who's here, Dad? Is it healthy?''

''We took a taxi in Mas Abdillah. Father's condition is gone. This was thanks to the help of Mas Abdillah at that time, said Hellen throwing a smile as sweet as possible towards Abdillah.

''Why don't you tell me if you want to come, I'll be able to send people to pick you up to the village.''

''We don't want to trouble you anymore. Uhukk .. uhukk ... Where's Setya, did you see him here Abdillah? if so, please call him.'' said Setya's father with a hoarse voice along with a cough. He looked claustrophobic with his face getting pale.

Abdillah looked at Hanifa and Malik alternately asked for an opinion, Malik and Hanifa gave small nods. Then Abdillah walked towards the guest chair. Setya's father's face grew pale with a cough that became more and more. ''Sally must apologize to you directly Hanifa, I would love to see her, that way Father can leave quietly. Uhukk .... Uhuukk, uhukk.'' said Setya's father. Hanifa, Malik and the others were worried to see Setya's father.

Seriate.
