A WIFE'S TEARS BEHIND A CLOWN COSTUME
Origin of cooperation

''This is case money, I love everything for you if you are willing to cooperate with me.'' said Shanum while putting a yellow envelope on the table, the envelope inside contained ten million rupiah in cash.

''Sorry, I still don't want to.'' reject the man firmly still maintaining the initial firmness.

''Alahhh .... Sell it even once. Look, you look really pathetic. Your body is so thin, hair is disheveled, face is dull, clothes are ugly. Duh, duh, duh ... I'm sure your life will be even worse if you continue to work as a clown. A job that really does not guarantee. And, your beautiful wife, I'm sure she'll slowly leave you. Which woman longs to live in poverty is married to a loser who can not be happy. While out there, I'm sure there are a lot of rich and better-looking men than you who like him. And ... Your sister, I'm sure everyone will stay away when you have nothing said Shanum again with a cynical smile. He looked at Setya. Trying to dive into what Setya feels and thinks right now. After Shanum said that, Setya looked agitated. His skinny hands twisted the seedy end of his clothes. After failing to incite Arumi, Shanum remains unyielding, seeking new prey with close ties to Hanifa and Malik. He orders his men to search for Setya and spy on Setya's current life. And now, Arumi has known everything about Setya, and now Arumi manages to meet and talk directly with Setya in the city park. They chatted at a street stall selling meatballs and sachets. Shanum had also ordered a bowl full of meatballs for Setya, Setya ate voraciously. But Shanum just looked. He really did not taste at all eating on the side of the road that he considered dirty.

''Em ... Do you miss your son with Hanifa?'' shanum asked again, still trying to persuade.

''Of course, I miss him a lot. He is my son, in his blood also flows my blood, Setya replied.

''But why have you never met her? Does he not want to meet a poor and ugly father like you? Ckckck ..'' Shanum said as he chuckled.

''Stop that shit! You just recognized me, but you acted like you knew everything about me, about my time! You strange woman!'' said Setya with a slightly hard tone, his face slightly reddened.

''I know, I know everything Setya! That's why I came here intending to help you. Take this money, love your wife, your sister and your mother. I'm sure they'll be happy to get this money and they'll definitely appreciate you more as a man. I'll increase the number if you're really willing to cooperate with me. And your son, I will make you meet him. You can even hug her if you want to cooperate with me.'' persuaded Shanum with sweet words. Setya looked agitated, according to him, every word that came out of Shanum's mouth had a point as well. He cannot continue to live in a squalor that knows no end. In fact, at home, Hellen and Siska always fuss over a little food. Until now Hellen still can not get a job. Because he likes to pick jobs. He would work if the job was in the office. But after several times he sent a cover letter to the company, he was always rejected.

''Can you give a job to my sister?'' setya asked expectantly. He had started to enter Shanum's trap with the lure of the treasure. Treasure, throne and women. These three things are a severe temptation for men.

''Oh ... Sure oes. Want to work as what? Shopkeeper, or what?'' shanum replied with a smile.

''I want my brother to work for the company. This is the job he has been craving all along. Because he had been in college, and he had also earned an S1.'' said Setya. 'if Hellen worked at the Company, surely he would be happy, not only he would be happy, he would be happy, Mother will certainly feel the same, said Setya in the heart.

''Waw, okay then. My papa has some big companies in Jakarta. Tomorrow you can get your sister to put her cover letter in my Papa's company. I will give a good position for him there, said Shanum, then he took a pen and a small paper from his bag, he wrote the address of the company Papa. ''Here's the address. Love your sister Shanum said as he stuck out the paper to Setya, as Setya was about to take the paper, Shanum spoke again, Eitss ... But, you already agreed 'right to cooperate with me?'' ask Shanum again.

''Mm ... Yes, I agree Setya replied a little hesitantly. But he approved all of it.

''OK, this is take.'' Setya picked up a paper that said that address.

''Dil!''

''Dil!''

Setya and Shanum shook hands. After that Shanum started talking about their initial plan to destroy the Hanifa household. When Shanum explained what Setya had to do, Setya shuddered with fear and heart. But when he remembered the money and position Shanum had promised, he was finally able to comply with the doubts that were lodged in his mind.

''alright.''

''Here's money. Take.''

''Thank you.''

''Yes.''

After that, Shanum got into the car. Then his car drove across the dimly lit road.

''If I can't get Malik. Then I won't let Hanifa live quietly with Malik. Until whenever Malik remains mine.'' muttered Shanum fiery.

While Setya smiled happily while holding a lot of money. Then walking home, he stopped by Joseph's parents' house first to return the clown costume. As soon as he arrived in front of Joseph's house, he saw Joseph talking to a beautiful woman on the porch.

''Is tumben home yet? Have you got a lot of money tonight?'' joseph asked kindly as soon as he saw Setya in front of him.

''Em ... Yes Yusuf. Alhamdulillah.'' Setya replied a little lying.

''Alhamdulillah. Yes, his clown costume is directly placed in an ordinary place, yes. Umi same Abi is not at home.''

''After saying that, Setya entered the house to put on a clown costume. While Joseph and Ameera looked at him with a little pity looking at Setya's appearance.

''How pitiful he is now, yes. His fate is completely inversely proportional to Hanifa.'' said Ameera in a soft voice.

''Yes. But he has now changed for the better, he has admitted all his mistakes first. Hopefully he does not act with his current household anymore.'' said Joseph. Ameera just nodded small. Then they continued their conversation earlier which had stopped due to the presence of Setya. Setya left shortly after, and he returned to Joseph and Ameera. He kept the envelope with his money under his shirt, so that Joseph and Ameera would not ask much questions. Her thought.

Seriate.

I know who that man is. It turns out that Setya has not been insyaf, yes. He is easily tempted.
