Alin put the empty glass back on the table. He had just finished taking pain medication. Because, his stomach was increasingly painful after he came out of his papa room earlier.
Alin grabbed her phone, put it in her tote bag without turning on the power first. Then he stepped out of his room. The goal is now the house of the hero. The only place he could go now.
However, just as Alin was about to reach the door, suddenly there was someone who opened the door of his room violently. Until it makes a strong enough impact sound, making Alin jumped by surprise by him.
“Kak Hazar..”
Hazar approached Alin with his broad steps. His eyes stared hard at Alin. The look on his face was indecipherable making Alin slightly shrivel and retreat backwards, until his body hit the table.
“Where is your phone?” now Hazar was only one step away from them.
Alin breathed. Somehow his feelings are getting more and more awkward now, he can hear the tone of annoyance from Hazar's voice. After yesterday with the sweetness of her husband whispered a word of affection in her ear.
Alin raised his head so that he could stare at Hazar's face that was taller than him.
“Here...” replied Alin while lifting his tote bag.
Hazar exhaled violently, staring in disbelief at Alin. “Only as long as I'm gone... Can't you pick up my phone,” shrewd Hazar.
Alin was only silent with his flat face, his eyes looking straight at Hazar's eyes which were now emitting an aura of helplessness.
Hazar stepped closer to Alin, leaving only a slight gap between them, his hands clutching his wife's waist.
Alin could feel Hazar's breath being wasted quickly. The grip of Hazar's hand on her waist was not painful but it was able to make her entire joint feel paralyzed. She felt even more helpless as Hazar buried a kiss on her lips. Until both of his arms cover Hazar's neck to find support for his weakened body.
This is not the first time for both of them. But, this kiss felt very memorable, different from the previous one. This will be the last kiss between them. Everything about them is bound to change, when Hazar finds out about his current state.

Hazar releases her pagutan, but still reluctantly takes Alin's face away from her.
Both foreheads are still attached, with the eyes still closed. The breaths of both sounded hunting wasted short and fast. After his breathing began to be regular Hazar returned to give a lot of kisses on Alin's face. Then he rubbed his wife's lips that were still wet. “ Grandpa Tomi in hospital. I have to leave the country now.” Hazar gave it a pause. Then back to sound. “Wira has agreed to take care of Mama Diana's halfway house. This afternoon the house has begun to be occupied by children with cancer. You can stay there as long as I'm gone. ”. “Dan please pick up my phone.”
Hazar was forced to cancel her scheduled meeting with doctor Qori this afternoon. He has also told Papa Haris about the condition of Grandpa Tomi who returned to be hospitalized. He also entrusted his wife to his Father-in-law. Looks like he'll be abroad long enough.

“I'm busy now. This is the first day of the opening of this halfway house, and your husband bestows all the affairs of this house with me. You should know that..” Wira said regretfully. He had repeatedly said that he was busy, but Alin still insisted on asking him to come to the cafe at that time.
Wira was forced to ask permission from his fellow doctors who were also employed by Hazar at the halfway house.
Along the way, the hero continues to curse.
Alin seemed to wave his hand when he saw Wira appear on the door of the cafe. Still with his unfortunate face Wira walked up to Alin's desk.
“What's up?” ask the hero ketus.
“Eat first... I am hungry.” said Alin while waving to call the cafe waiter. “Lo want to eat what?” ask Alin when opening the menu. But the person asked was still staring at him. Alin sighed, asking the waiter to leave, because he would order his food later.
“What happened, why can you be hired by Kak Hazar?” alin asked, his eyes staring with prints at Wira.
“So... you asked me to come all the way here just to ask that?”
“ini not only... But this is very suspicious. What are you guys planning? Your former fights have not disappeared, how can you guys have established a cooperation agreement?” search Alin.
Hero fell silent. He was confused as to what to answer. What he has to say is all this is betting, who wins will get Alin. But he had no intention of making Alin a bet, I don't know about Hazar. If taking the conclusion from their conversation yesterday, Hazar seems to be clarifying their line of play. Hazar now has full power over Alin, and he is a stranger to Alin. Those who are equally curious about their position in the future. Can you say this a bet? Inner Hero.
“Quick order your food,” Wira said as she glanced at the clock on her wrist. “I need to quickly return to the halfway house.” Wira's eyes looked confused not daring to look into Alin's eyes which were still glaring at him.
“What do you pay dearly by Kak Hazar?”
“Ya..”
Alin looked smirking. “Ya... Now money is in power,” There is a tinge of disappointment implied in Alin's remarks just now. The hero can feel that.
“Do not misunderstand. The one your husband contracted to yesterday is my stewardship for Mama Diana's halfway house. Not everything else.” Bright Wira. This time he looked into Alin's eyes full of confidence.

Every day the dose of drugs mixed Angel always raised so that the effect is faster, and people will soon find out that Alin will not be able to have offspring.
Amel once met Qori's doctor to ask for the results of Alin's routine examination. But, he must be disappointed again because Alin's medical record is stored directly by Haris.
Amel and Angel are twisting their brains. Looking for a way for Alin's infertility to be known to the crowd. According to their estimates, with the large dose of drugs that Alin has taken it can be ascertained that Alin will not be able to have offspring.
“How about we make him crash. Mr. Hazar will definitely be worried and ask Alin for a thorough check.”.
“Good too.” Amel grinned. “We have to pay people to harm that damn woman.”
“No, do not involve others in our plans.”
“Then... Are you going to step in to harm him yourself?”
“Ya.. we have to make him wretched while inside the house. It would be dangerous if we harm him outside. Because, Mr. Hazar is very smart in investigating things, he has many detectives and bodyguards to look after his wife while outside the house.”.
“Our plan will be smoother if Mrs Rosa is here.” continued Angel. “But, Mrs Rosa very rarely goes home to this country.”
“It'll be easy. We just have to make evidence of Alin's infertility. Rosa's business we can tell her later.” Amel said lightly. Because what he needs now is to tell Papa Setyo that Alin will not be able to give him a great-grandchild. And his beloved son will be returned to his side.
Angel stared cynically at Amel. Feeling that Amel is only concerned about himself.
“Didn't you also want to see Alin suffer and get dumped?” ask Angel.
“Ya... indeed that's what I expected. Why?”
“You are stupid! Mr. Hazar will not cast Alin out just because of barrenness. Therefore, we really need the presence of Mrs Rosa here when Alin declared barren.” Angel looked at Amel.
***
Two weeks have passed since Hazar's departure. Like Hazar's message before he left, Alin always picks up the phone from him. Their conversation is nothing special just asking the news and activities of each of them.
Since Hazar's departure, Alin has never visited Mama Diana's halfway house. His attitude changed completely. He never acted again. Always follow all the rules Hazar makes. He left home just to go to work, and came home always on time.
Aunt Fatma felt something was wrong with her. Although he felt the change in tone was not something bad. But, he felt there was something strange about the change in Nonanya's attitude. The person who would normally talk a lot now only said as necessary.
One night when she slept in her room. He said a lot of strange things and it was hard for him to understand.
“Auntie, never leave this house. Even if Aunt wants to go later, stay around a place that is easy for me to find.” said Alin.
“Means, Miss?” ask Aunt Fatma.
Alin did not answer, he instead returned saying something strange.
“According to Aunty how long it took me to be able to live independently.”
“If I've made it later. I'll pick up Aunt.”
“Where is Miss going?” Aunt Fatma asked again.
“It looks like the watu I'm looking forward to will be here soon, Bibi.”
“What everything will be beautiful as I imagined all this time,”
“Definitely beautiful, and should be beautiful.” Alin kept raving to himself.
