Ema has now held a thanksgiving to give her grandchild a name. Not long after the ceremony was finally finished and Alika returned to her room and locked the door of her room so that no one disturbed her because she wanted to be alone. Ema who felt bad with the group because of her behavior just smiled wryly. I don't know what the fault is until it makes alika like that.
***
Alika has become accustomed to her solitude and has been a mother for two months. Ema still met her entourage and how surprised when someone came to her house. Ema stared at him meticulously did she really come?
"Assalamualaikum ma'am!" Said the man who came carrying a backpack containing clothes coming in to ema and sat in front of ema.
"Girlwindsalam! Who are you coming with?" Ask Ema who still does not believe in her arrival.
"I came by myself mom! Sorry if I got it wrong. I want to fix everything!" The man who came was none other than his son-in-law, Tajudin.
"Yes, everything is forgiven! But please don't repeat what you've done!" Answer ema with glassy eyes.
"Thank you ma'am! Where's the alika ma'am?" Ask Tajudin who didn't see his wife.
"There's in her room! Let's take Mama to her room!" Tell ema to take the tajudin to alika's room.
Ema walked in following the tajudin behind her towards alika's room. When he arrived in front of the room alika ema knocked on the door of his room and opened it without being approved by alika.
"Alika! See who's coming?" Say it and tell tajudin to come in.
Alika turned her head and was surprised to see the tajudin coming but alika did not show her surprise. Alika again held her baby without looking at her husband who had entered her room while putting his backpack on the side of the door.
"Yes, you live first, Tajudin?" Say it and close the door again.
"Yes mom!" Answer the tajudin and turn back to alika and approach her.
"Alika!" Tajudin's words touched alika's shoulder.
"What are you coming for?" Tanya Alika was still focusing on her son without seeing her husband.
"I'm sorry for all my mistakes! I want to fix everything! Will you give me another chance?" Tajudin said touching both shoulders behind alika who put her child to sleep.
"As far as you! I don't care how you want it!" Sahut alika with his cold tone.
Tajudin simply closed his eyes and dropped his face on the nape of the neck feeling guilty with his harsh attitude towards alika.
"Are you disabled? Can you stand without touching me?" Said alika flat and released himself from tajudin.
"Sorry! I just missed you!" Sahut tajudin continued to try to persuade alika.
Alika does not respond to tajudin who tells a long story. Alika is still focused on her son. Tajudin was amazed to see his son carried by alika.
"May I hold her for a minute?" Tajudin asked with a smile.
"He's asleep don't be disturbed!" Answer alika and put her to bed with him.
"Our son is beautiful like his mother." Say again tajudin seduced alika to blush.
"I'm sleepy! Don't bother." Sahut alika flat and cold then turned back tajudin without feeling awkward.
Tajudin just resigned with the attitude of alika jutek. Tajudin finally threw himself on the floor and Alika saw him just silently not caring about her husband. Alika was tired of the attitude of the people around her who always act arbitrarily without thinking about alika's feelings. Alika always tried not to respond to the attitude of people around alika so as not to feel hurt.

"Alika! I want!" Tajudin's speech made alika roll her eyes lazy.
"Just do it with another woman!" Alika replied that it was still cold with her husband.
"I beg you not to be like this, Alika! You can slap me tormenting me but don't silence me like this! Please give me another chance!" Tajudin hugged alika from behind because alika would go out of his room.
"I've given you a chance. Otherwise I've kicked you out of here! Just do what you want. Don't force me to do it again with you! My womb is no longer willing to have children from you!" Say alika with a tone full of emphasis.
Tajudin got such an answer from alika dropping herself and kneeling on the floor letting alika out of her room. Tajudin did not expect to get this kind of attitude from alika. Tajudin cried withstanding his pain after getting such an answer from alika. After alika finished bathing, she returned to her room without helping the tajudin to stand up from her knees still crying. As if alika did not see the existence of tajudin in her room. Alika opened her closet and changed clothes regardless of the tajudin who saw her. Alika is like a desperate and frustrated person with her circumstances that are not on her side.
The next day Alika was in the guest room alone and ordered Yong tofu for breakfast because of his already hungry stomach. Tajudin held his son to see alika who ate alone without offering him a meal. Tajudin smiled wryly because alika did not care if she was hungry or not. Alika ate voraciously without rest and without turning her head to look at her husband.
"Do you have the heart to let me starve like this?" Tajudin asked while holding his son
"I don't care if you're hungry or not. It's not my duty to feed you!" Sahut alika makes tajudin silent.
Tajudin did not say much after getting a painful answer from alika. After changing nights tajudin joined the ema troupe in the guest room and left alika alone in her room. Tajudin talks with ema's guests.
"Are you not working tajudin?" Ask the curious rodiyah.
"I don't know the location here!" Answer tajudin with a simple smile.
"Job with my husband alone in the square! My husband works to keep a child's toy car and his salary is also good. So you can give money to alika! Kasian she's been sitting in her room since giving birth!" Rodiyah said at length.
"Yes, I'll think about it again." Sahut tajudin feel awkward.
After talking, Tajudin went back to Alika's room and wanted to rest. But tajudin has not also got his inner ration from alika because alika is still jutek to him and does not invite him to talk if tajudin does not invite him to talk first.
It did not feel almost 3 weeks tajudin was at home alika and anindia came to see the condition of parents as well as alika as her brother. Since alika gave birth, Nindia has only come back to her house because of the busyness she has to live with her husband. Fajri sees tajudin and immediately experiences him and invites him to chat about men. And Anindia was inside chatting with her family as well alika.
"When are you here?" Ask Fajri while lighting his cigarette.
"Yes, about three weeks! Where's your house?" Ask tajudin basa stale.
"It's still a city area but on the main pantura road!" Fajri obviously smoked his cigarette. "Do you work here?" Ask fajri basa stale.
"No! I'm here to take my wife's heart and bring her back to my village!" Tajudin explained his wish.
"For a while rather than working with me first! I have an ice cappucino stand but nobody's guarding it. If you want to keep busy at my stand! I'll pay you according to your abilities!" Said fajri who was influenced by tajudin.
"Can! Rather than me staying home without any hustle!" Sahut tajudin vigorously.
The two of them chatted and joked around until they forgot about time. Alika also talked a lot and joked with her sister in the room because alika still did not want to come out of her room because many people who would invite her to talk made alika so lazy to respond to them. They all talked until they forgot the time until the night of Fajri and Nindia had just returned from alika's house and said goodbye to ema by treating her with courtesy.
