A WIFE'S TEARS BEHIND A CLOWN COSTUME
Dinner

At night, in a spacious room there are red rose petals scattered in white sprai, rooms that are still so distinctive as the newlyweds room, and the, Sarah always routinely asks the waiter to clean Hanifa and Malik's room every day. Not left behind he asked that the waiter regularly sow red rose petals sometimes white roses, so that a romantic atmosphere is always created in the room. All that he did so that the son-in-law could soon become pregnant, so that he immediately got a grandson, so that the luxurious and magnificent house they inhabited sounded crowded with the voices of children, so that the children could hear, so that Arif will soon have friends. Sarah's hopes are deep.

In that scented room, a stiff atmosphere was created between Malik and Hanifa. They prayed together, still doing the habit together, but the mouth of both seemed locked. Malik still looked at his wife lovingly while in the room, but Hanifa always tried to avoid whenever Malik wanted to touch and see her from a close distance. Hanifa's eyes look swollen, the scars of the crying this afternoon are still clearly written on her beautiful face. Malik was the same, his eyes were also puffy, but only a little. As long as he was in Hanifa's room, he kept thinking about finding a solution to the problem he was facing without having to marry Shanum. Then on the sidelines of his mind he also let out tears, he felt very guilty for making the wife cry because of disappointment, while his promise before marrying Hanifa, he said, he promises to always make the woman he loves feel happy. It was the first time Malik cried because of a woman. Now it was clear already, that the feeling of love, affection that he had was so great for Hanifa.

''Honey.'' call Malik softly. Hanifa lay on the bed with her body turned back to Malik. Malik sat on the bed. Hanifa remained silent unresponsive. Only his breathing sounded irregular roaring.

''Sorry yangg. You don't act like this the same, Mom. Mas is not strong that ..'' said Malik again sound vibrating, he is still trying to persuade Hanifa. But he did not dare to touch his wife, he was afraid that Hanifa was getting angry with him. A few minutes after Malik said that, Hanifa was still reluctant to make a sound. Then not long after that heard the door of the room on tap from outside.

''Mommy, Papa, get out of the room quickly. Oma has been waiting below, let's have dinner together.'' cried Arif. As soon as Hanifa heard the son's voice, she immediately got up from the bed and walked towards the door. Malik followed her from behind.

''Come, honey.'' said Hanifa as soon as she opened the door. He carried Arif's body. They're walking downstairs. Malik smiled faintly hearing his wife make a sound. Even though his voice was not for her.

When she reached the dining table, Sarah looked at the daughter-in-law so intensely, she saw something different on the face of the daughter-in-law, Hanifa was only able to lower her head when she realized that the in-laws were looking at her. Then Sarah looked towards Malik. Malik then gave a small snort. ''What a hell, Ma. Look at it is so very.'' said Malik trying to be relaxed. She did not want her mother to know the problem she was facing. Abdillah who sat beside Sarah also tried to act as relaxed as possible. After that Hanifa started to move her hands, she stuffed the rice into her husband's plate, stuffing the side dish as usual. He also did not want the in-laws to know their problems. Of course, if the in-laws knew the problem they were facing, it would be a burden on Sarah's mind. He was afraid that the in-law who was no longer young fell ill because he thought of the work of the son was just a wayang that was really embarrassing.

''Thank you yangg.'' said Malik when Hanifa had finished putting the rice, Malik smiled happily towards Hanifa. They act as usual to appreciate Sarah. Sarah still sees the newlyweds. It was like he was investigating something.

''Yes. Equally, Mas.'' replied Hanifa softly, the volume of her voice sounded so small.

After that they had dinner together. Throughout the dinner there was no sound, only the sound of the clanking of spoons clashing with plates occasionally sounded.

Hamidah has been staying at the boutique with several employees, because at night the boutique is still open. It'll be closed at ten in the evening.

''I'm done.'' exclaimed Arif cheerfully. The plate was empty, only a few grains of rice and chicken bones remained. He then continued to drink a glass of milk.

''Oma's granddaughter is very smart.'' praise Sarah while removing a little food scraps on Arif's lips using a handkerchief. Sarah then looked towards Hanifa's plate. Hanifa ate only a little. He grew suspicious that Hanifa was not doing well.

''Hanifa, why don't you eat, son?'' ask Sarah gently.

''Em ... I have no taste, Ma.'' Hanifa replied accordingly.

''Do you feel nauseous?''

''What?'' answer Hanifa replex while shaking her head. He was confused to hear the in-laws' question.

''Your face looks a little pale. Do you not ha. ..'' continued Sarah expectantly with a face sumringah. Hanifa suddenly cut off the speech of the in-laws.

''It seems not, Ma.'' Hanifa replied. Malik and Abdillah smiled at Sarah and Hanifa.

''Malik, you become a sensitive husband at a little why.'' he continued again.

''My wife is not pregnant yet, Ma. Not so fast. After we got married just entered two weeks later, said Malik he smiled warmly at Hanifa. While Hanifa suddenly blushed.

''Yes, it is, it is up to you. But Mama wants it, that, your eyes why are they so big, honey? Have you been crying? Did Malik hurt you?'' sarah asked in succession while looking at Hanifa fixedly. Hanifa suddenly misbehaved at the question of the in-laws. Malik's handsome face was also slightly stiffened.

''Yes, I just finished crying, Ma.'' replied Hanifa with a small nod. Abdillah and Malik grew increasingly tense at Hanifa's confession. They were afraid that Hanifa would tell Sarah everything.

''Why, Hanifa?'' ask Sarah. Then he glared at Malik. ''Malik, what are you doing to your wife?''

''Em ... Me, ak ...'' Malik stuttered a little. Hanifa then voiced.

''I'm not crying because of Mas Malik, Ma. I cry because I have read the novel, the novel is very sad. The novel tells the story of a woman and her husband who suddenly entered between a newly married couple. Then ..'' said Hanifa. Malik was a little relieved to hear the words of his wife. Then Abdillah cut off the words that Hanifa wanted to continue.

''Hanifa, you cannot read such a novel, Dek. Find a novel that will make you smile. Don't be so sad. Let your mood always be good.'' Abdillah's word helped straighten out Hanifa's words.

''Yes, but I'm also curious because I want to know the ending, I want to know how the couple went through the ordeal that suddenly came through.'' Hanifa replied. Malik smiled at his wife's words. He felt Hanifa had given him signs of forgiving him.

''Well, Mama thinks Malik has hurt you. Well, read the novel and continue, yes, dear. If you have finished reading to the end of the story will be the same again, Mama. Mom also wanted to know.''

''Ac ... Ready, Ma.'' replied Hanifa.

''Yes, the food was spent, yes. You'll be sick again Sarah's message. Then Sarah passed from the dining table with Arif in her trailer.

''It's nice to see you guys like this. Face the problem together. Remember, your marriage hasn't been around for a whole corn. Never think to separate the goods in the slightest.'' said Abdillah a little advice after the departure of Sarah. The three of them were still sitting at the dining table.

''Yes, Honey. Don't think weird anymore. And don't mind much. Shanum's problem let Mas and Mas Abdillah finish right.'' said Malik, he said while looking at Hanifa.

''But I feel sorry for Shanum. He must have been very hurt because of what you used to do.'' Hanifa replied. Then he just left the dining table. Every time he talked about Shanum, he didn't feel strong. Because he thinks there are currently only two options to solve the problem of Malik and Shanum, the first is that Malik does not want to account for his actions against Shanum, he said, it is certain that Shanum will spread friendly photos between Malik and Shanum to social media. And of course after that the consequences will be fatal and the business will be longer. The second, if Malik is willing to take responsibility, the only way is for Malik and Shanum to get married. And Hanifa? He does not want to be in honey.

''Let him be alone first. Hanifa was so her person, she was still too innocent and easily pitying someone. He did not know the outside world. I ordered our man to take Shanum's cell phone secretly at the hotel where he's staying now. I also ordered our Malaysian man to take Shanum's leptop secretly at his parents' house. I'm sure Shanum must have kept the photos in his leptop as a backup. Malik was listening to him.

''Thank you, Abdillah, for being willing to help. I'm not that asshole. I've been avoiding Shanum for a few years now and there's a reason I'm not a stupid guy that he's easy to cibulinize. I just don't want to say much, I'm sick of the crazy stuff Malik said solemnly. It's like he's looking at massalu.

Seriate.
