Dear Husband
Contacting Alex

"I'm sorry my husband prof." Sofia showed a face full of regret when they lived alone there. The luxury car that took Nando and Alex was already gone from there.

"That's it. Comein! let's continue the journey." take Shandy with gentle words and a face filled with sympathy.

Sofia who is depressed may not notice the change in intonation in Shandy's sentence, but not with the man. He was fully aware that he was truly sympathetic to the student. Why a gentle, tough and kind woman like Sofia should have a husband like Fernando who is cold and arrogant. Twice he had caught if the beautiful doctor in front of him was even willing to help others without thinking about his interests. It would not be wrong if he proposed Sofia to join his program even in the first semester of his studies.

They didn't feel like they were in a big hospital. Sofia immediately walked into the director's room after making small talk and thanked him and apologized once again. There's something he needs to take care of there. Several doctors and nurses who greeted him responded politely and kindly.

The sky turned orange as Sofia exited the hospital area. Several times he tried to call Nando's phone even though he knew it had been smashed on the asphalt this afternoon. The call to his office was also free because after many times in check, her husband's name was not in the financial section. Where has Nando been working all this time?

Alex.yep...Alex knows everything. His fingers moved to scroll through the rows of numbers on his phone until Alex's name appeared there. The phone is connected, but it is always not picked up. Considering the day is getting darker, Sofia immediately stops the angkot who happened to be passing by to go home soon. Not that he also had to feel the ride of public transportation? as long as he's here he's never been in that vehicle. It feels like reminiscing about the past college, where angkot is the idol transportation of students below the poverty line like it.

Walking 100 meters to his house is not a heavy thing for a Sofia. In the village, he used to walk a few kilometers to the market when accompanying his mother to shop or sell crops. His physique has been forged since participating in cross-country organizations in his area. Maybe that's why he doesn't like to wear high heels. Too troublesome and make his legs swollen. Not to mention the way the road will look strange because it becomes as slow as a walking snail.

"Hi Snow..You just came home?" greet a friendly voice beside the fence. Sofia turned her head, pausing for a moment her intention of opening the fence. It seems that the man who greeted him also just came home because he was going to lock the fence.

"hmmm yeah. Sorry, I went in first Mr. Andre." and Andre just smiled bitterly. She knows Sofia purposely avoided him because of his different body gestures. The arrival of a car stopped both. A pair of human children descended from there and looked at the two of them before the woman approached Sofia and the man approached Andre.

"hmmm good afternoon brother, I am Susan.the inhabitant of the house in front." the sweet woman with a slim tall body stretched out her hand. Sofia welcomed him. It's good to have new neighbors because at least now you no longer feel alone. Andre may be friendly, but it doesn't feel good to be alone on this block with him.

The couple became acquainted in turn until Reza her husband invited Suzan to say goodbye because they had to clean and organize their house because the items that came this afternoon had not been arranged. Sofia quickly entered her house and locked the door. Again he tries to contact Alex because the man is his only hope of knowing Nando's whereabouts. His heart raced a little when his call was connected.

"Yes" said Alex briefly. With a bite of her lips Sofia tried to strengthen her heart to ask.

"Finally you asked about your husband too." Ketus and cold. What kind of person Alex can't talk a little friendly or soft. Maybe this Alex is the legacy of the authors of the novel that always portrays an ice-cold man to him ya😂

"taught right? he's my husband."

"Feeling to have a husband but can not take care of yourself and the dignity of the husband." satire that if listened to feels burning heart and ears at once. But Sofia still accepted it. He realized, he wouldn't have any other informants besides Alex and Bella right now.

"He's with you, isn't he?" guess it.

"No. Mr...ohh sorry brother Nando is on his way to London."

"London's? why didn't you tell me?" sorry Sofia with a weak tone. Something felt tight in his chest.

"Ask yourself, brother." The answer is no less narrow than the one before. Suddenly Sofia felt a heavy offense. His patience limit is over. Enough has been given up since.

"So you blame me for this misunderstanding?"

"That's your household business. I can't interfere." he replied. Sofia could only stroke her chest, trying to be patient against that strange sister-in-law.

"Then thank you and sorry for interrupting your time. Good afternoon." Sofia immediately closes her call without waiting for Alex to answer. It's free to ask questions or just argue with him. Not the answer he would get, but the blood rise that would happen next.

Sofia still clasped her phone tightly as her body rumbled to the floor. He had planned to explain everything to Nando when he got home. Not only that, she wanted to apologize to her husband. But Nando had already left without saying goodbye to her. At a faraway place, which he could not reach because of the cost. What he who is just an ordinary civil servant who can have his own house and vehicle is already an extraordinary gift.
