A WIFE'S TEARS BEHIND A CLOWN COSTUME
Arif is not

I looked at Arumi fixedly, waiting for her to speak. I wonder just what he was going to say, roughly where he met and was able to get acquainted with Shanum? Thought wondering.

''Yesterday, yes, the Shanum was eating at my restaurant. I don't recognize him, but he knows me. He said he could recognize me because he saw our vidio as we pushed each other through time in the city park. Time we fight over Setya. Hehehe ..'' said Arumi smiling wily. If according to my judgment, Arumi is quite good and funny, but he seems to have to be guided and directed a lot in behaving and stepping.

''Then?'' ask me again for a more detailed explanation.

''He asked me to talk, I did. Then as we chatted he asked that I help him.'' Arumi again explained while taking a deep breath.

''Help what?'' my many.

''Helping her to ... Ruining your household and your husband.'' Arumi paused, I was shocked to hear her narration. Then Arumi continued on.

''Uh, you don't misunderstand me first, yes, Hanifa. I have no interest at all in his offer and request. I refuse to be raw. Believe me! I am a fool. I don't want to deal with people's husbands anymore. I want to find a single and single one, he explained with a serious face.

''You didn't lie, did you?'' I ask again to make sure.

''We are now friends with Hanifa, where I might lie. The mass events with Setya were enough to be the worst lesson and experience for me.''

''Alhamdullillah, thank you, yes, Arumi.'' I said. It turns out that Arumi has really changed for the better. He seems to have considered me his friend.

''Yes, equally. You and your husband should be careful, yes. I see Shanum is so ambitious. She seems to want your handsome husband very much. I'm sure he will definitely do various ways to destroy your household. I'm nodding. And say thanks again to him.

''Once again thank you very much, yes, Arumi.''

''Yes. Sometimes you play to my restaurant near the corner. I'll give you a free meal, a full meal. Bring your husband and children. Uh, you guys take Abdillah too.'' Arumi offered me with her knotty smile.

''OKAY. Next time I'll be there with my family.''

''Yes already then I say goodbye, yes.'' Arumi stuck out her hand, I greeted her quickly.

''Yes, be careful in the mesh, yes.'' reply me, our hands shake each other.

''Alright. Don't forget tomorrow take Abdillah too if you want to stop by my restaurant.''

''OK, siipp.'' I replied. After saying that I drove Arumi to the front door. Let go of his departure.

I'm up to Mas Abdillah to find a wife who. I won't force her to marry Teh Hamidah or Shanum, not even Hellen. I know the three women liked Mas Abdillah. Let's look ahead, how the story of Mas Abdillah's love journey in reaching his halal soul mate, Mas Abdillah must be the best for him.

I saw the clock on the phone, it turns out Arif will be going home from school soon. I got ready, grabbed my bag, and walked out of the room.

''Teh, I say goodbye first, yes.'' my saying. Hamidah tea is no longer busy, the visitors are just starting to arrive.

''Kok really fast Hanifa?'' ask her.

''Yes, I would like to pick Arif up at school.''

''Yes, be careful, yes.''

''Yes. Bye then.''

''See you all.'' I waved at the employees. They waved their hands back with a big smile.

''Thank you, sir.'' I said as I sat in the car.

''Yes, Non.'' replied Mr. Agus. He sat at the wheel quickly.

The car drove through the streets, the heat had started to heat up. Don't let me pick up Arif. My son will be restless waiting for my arrival. Pak Agus is driving our four-wheeled vehicles at high speed.

''Sir, how is speeding? We're late, huh, get Arif?'' my spoken. I held my stomach, so that the child in my womb would not feel the shock.

''Seems like yes, Non. A little late, now it's ten past fifty-five minutes. Den Arif came home at eleven pas, while our time to Arif school was still about fifteen minutes away.'' explained Mr. Agus. His view focused forward. The distance between the boutique and the Arif school is quite far.

''Yes, if so, sir. Pity Arif if you have to wait for us long.'' my dream.

''Well, Non.''

Then the car drove at a faster speed than before. I sat quietly in the back. My mouth read sholawat.

After a journey of about fifteen minutes, we finally arrived in front of Arif's school. In front of the school, it looks lonely. I got out of the car. Then walking into the gate that was still open, I walked back and forth looking for the whereabouts of Arif and the other children. After a few minutes I still did not see my son and the others. I walked to the teacher's room. As soon as I got to the teacher's room I saw a pasmina veiled woman coming out.

''Sorry, Madam. Did Mom see my son?'' many enthusiast. I was really panicking because I didn't see Arif.

''Mom, Arif's mom, huh?'' ask the teacher. We were standing near the entrance.

''Yes. I'm late to pick up Arif. I've been looking for his presence around the school but there's no.'' I'm quick.

''The kids came home about twenty minutes ago, Mom. School today is a little accelerated schedule home, because some teachers there are going to meetings to the office. It was just me and a few other teachers living in the school. Another teacher had just returned home.'' explained the teacher. I got more agitated after hearing his explanation. Then he spoke again, If Arif, um .... Let me remember first. Oh, yes, I saw Arif riding in a black Lamborghini, he got into a car guided by a man. I thought it was his uncle or the driver who used to pick him up. Try to call your Uncle first, or the other mother's family. Who knows if one of them picked up Arif. We do not panic first.'' explained the teacher still looks relaxed. While I have been hit by a lot of anxiety.

''I've already, then I'll try to contact my brother first.''

''Yes, call quickly.''

I searched Mas Abdillah's number and made a call. Only with one call Mas Abdillah immediately raised him.

''Yes, Hanifa.''

''Mas, did Arif Mas take you to school? Em .... I mean is Arif together, Mas now?'' I fast, my breath hunting.

''Mas again in Hanifa's office. Mas and your husband will be meeting soon. Arif is not with Mas and Mas does not pick him up. Why emang?'' mas Abdillah's reply instantly made my legs feel weak, tears suddenly flooded the eyes. It made my vision unclear. Mama couldn't have picked up Arif, because my Martu was at the funeral with his friends. Then who? Various preconceptions are lodged in my mind.

''Arif wasn't in school, Mas. I looked for him around the school. Said his teacher Arif was picked up the same man who used the car owned by Mas.'' explained again. I shut my mouth and walked back and forth in the school hallway. The teacher was still standing near me.

''Oh my! You calm down Hanifa. Mas will tell your husband and we will help find Arif soon. Do not be too anxious and do not be too tired as well.'' said Mas Abdillah sounded panicked, then the call was decided.

''There's no Arif, Mom? Oh Allah, may Arif not why, yes, ma'am, said the teacher, his face looks panicked.

I just ran straight to the gate, I will tell Mr. Agus and I will find my son soon.

.....

Seriate.
