It's the seventh day Lolita is in the hospital accompanying Novan. He only went home twice to visit Aldo. Also gave word to mom and Cassandra. Take a change of clothes for him.
The state of Novan itself is much better and has been allowed to go home by a team of doctors. On one condition, must obey all the words of the doctor. Taking the drug according to the procedure is also enough rest. Not doing excessive activity.
All the clothes were packed in the bag. Novan was also tidy with his shirt, while Lolita was still talking to the doctor who had examined her husband.
''Okay, Doctor. Thanks for the help.'' Shake hands with the doctor who has been taking good care of Novan.
After the doctor disappears behind the closed door, Lolita approaches Novan who is sitting on the edge of the gurney. ''I'll take you home. After this don't disturb my life anymore.''
A week is not enough to melt the heart of a Lolita. The woman wanted to separate from her husband.
''I will not divorce you.'' Novan went down, and grabbed Lolita's hand. He took her to the door and opened it. Ask the driver to take all his clothes.
''Can't, Mom. We've agreed to divorce, and I don't want to cancel it.''
At that moment Novan looked. ''We never agreed to divorce, but you are now asking for it and I don't want to" Novan said.
''Still stubborn, when clearly he started first, ''' murmured Lolita.
It's free to argue, it'll only make him more upset. Moreover, Novan is not a person who easily succumbs to it. It would be very difficult to soften his heart.
Upon arrival in the car, Novan opened the side door. Tell Lolita to come in and put the seat belt on. Then, he talked to the driver to board another car. Then get in and sit behind the wheel. Engine starts. The car left the hospital.
''Why don't you divorce me?'' Lolita opened the conversation. Wanted to know the reason Novan did not want to part with him.
''Does it matter? I think you already know, '' replied Novan enigmatic.
Slow down the car. His hand stretched out, grabbed Lolita's hand and grasped it. Others are busy with the wheel. Split the road packed with vehicles.
''Important, Mas. Household is not a spectacle. If your reasons are only for mom and dad, I don't want to. You hurt me enough, now I want to live happily.'' Lolita's eyes are condensing.
Every time he remembered the attitude of Novan who had hurt him, his heart was crushed like a crumple. Let alone to come closer, say hello only reluctantly. Unfortunately, her instincts as a woman were very gentle and did not have the heart to retaliate.
''How many times do I have to apologize? I told you, I'm a khilaf. I promise I'll give you back all the money I used. But I beg you to stay with me, said Novan seriously.
However, it was ignored by Lolita. To him all that was said from the corner of Novan's lips was mere nonsense. The proof, the man is still in touch with Metha, his mistress.
''Whatever, I'll keep asking for divorce, period.''
Novan did not answer, he just smiled obliquely at the annoyance of his wife. For whatever sake, he should still maintain the marriage that was built for thirteen years rather than going to live a long time without property.
It did not feel like the car had stopped in the courtyard of the residence of Novan's parents. Novan went down first, and opened the door for Lolita as he had done earlier. His hands extended to welcome his wife to come down.
''For tonight accompany me to sleep here. I promise I will take you home tomorrow, Pinta Novan said.
For some reason, everything Novan said was like an order and could not be rejected by Lolita. His lips locked as if all the neatly arranged sentences were stuck in the throat. His tongue was too thick to argue.
''What?'' ask Novan lightly.
''Leave Metha, '' said Lolita straightforwardly. ''Or you will lose me and Aldo forever.
Novan's face suddenly creased. The smile that had appeared dim again. It seems that the man indeed strongly objected to taking off his affair.
''If you can't, I won't force you. But I also don't want to keep someone who obviously prefers other people over his child and wife.'' Down without receiving Novan's welcome. Walking first leaves the husband who is still struggling with his mind.
The arrival of Lolita was warmly welcomed by Ratri, the old woman smiled happily at the arrival of her beloved daughter-in-law.
Novan is an only child. Until they only have one son-in-law, his affection has only been poured out for the family of his son.
''Aldo is not coming?'' asked Ratri a little disappointed.
''So he went with his om and his tant, Mom. He said he wanted to choose the school that will be occupied later, Lolita replied honestly.
Novan followed and hugged his mother tightly as Lolita did. Asked the news of his mother who had time to drop after knowing about her household problems.
''Mom is fine. Especially after knowing that you guys are united again, mom is getting happier.''
Lolita and Novan exchanged lyrics and fake smiles to make Ratri happy. Because, behind that beautiful smile there was still fierce hostility between them. Moreover, Novan has not granted Lolita's request, and it makes the woman unacceptable.
''You slept here tonight, right?" ask Ratri seriously.
Novan nodded, while Lolita shook her head. Of course he refused to sleep in the room with Novan, while the man still kept in touch with other women.
''Lo, why, son?'' Swab the back of Lolita's hand. Staring at the bead of the son-in-law who had condensed and was ready to melt the clear crystal.
Novan lowered his head. He knew this would happen, but he would face it together anyway.
''I can't disappoint my mother. What if he gets sick again. I don't want to see him suffer.''
Finally, Lolita smiled for the sake of making someone happy who had given birth to her husband.
''I lied, Mom. Tonight I will sleep here with mas Novan, said Lolita reassured. At least at this time his lies were unknown to his in-laws.
Due to exhaustion, Lolita went straight into the room and lay down. Just about to close his eyes, the door opened from the outside giving rise to the figure of a handsome man.
''I'm doing this only for mom, so don't be big-headed. Had he not wanted me, I would have gone home.'' Tilting her back to Novan who was still standing behind the door.
For the sake of my family and mother, I must forget about Metha. She was only a foreign woman who stopped by for a moment, while my wife was the woman who attended and accompanied me.
Approaching Lolita and lying down. Waiting for the right moment to reveal his decision.
