I Also Want to Be Happy (Double-line Warrior)
Zahra Change.

As soon as Zahra got home, the driver got down and opened the door for her. " Thank you, sir" said Zahra.

"Together, Mom. I hope you're happier in the future." 

"Just call Zahra, sir," said Zahra who felt bad.

"Good, Son. Good night, chase your happiness." The driver left the grounds of Arham's house. Zahra only saw the driver of the car until it disappeared and he went inside and all was seen by Wani from behind the curtain.

"Wah .. wah .. wah it turns out now besides you are useless to be a daughter-in-law You are also a cheap woman now. Is it because Arham didn't give you much more money so you're looking for a rich guy out there? Who drove you earlier? Are you cheating on your husband's back?" wani said that makes Zahra again remember her husband's affair. Zahra who wanted to go up to her room stopped her steps.

"Basically yes you, instead of thanking Arham still consider him a Wife you go with another man."

"Listen yes, Mom.  Keep your word, don't just accuse people without proof."

"You were driven home in a fancy car you said it wasn't proof? You think mom would believe it if you said you were just hitchhiking?"

"It's up to you to believe it or not." Zahra wanted to step back.

"Zahra, I warn you, if you still want to hitchhike in this house don't dare you tarnish Arham's good name by cheating."

"My mother didn't cheat on me and it's never hard on my heart to do what I said. If you want to accuse the one who cheated on you is your own son, don't point the charges at me."

Hearing Zahra's reply made Wani feel annoyed. However, he had only been quiet all this time he knew Arham's behavior out there, he knew his relationship with Nasya.

"They're just friends" replied Mom.

"So I know everything and pretend I don't know." Zahra just shook her head to see her father-in-law then continued her steps.

Arriving in Zahra's room sat on the floor, leaning against the door of her room. Even though he said he wanted to be strong and strong, all the words just came out of his lips. But his heart still hurt. The betrayal committed by her husband was very painful, broken all hope for them to return to improve their household. Zahra looked at the check in her hand and then she looked at the savings book she had collected little by little to do the baby tube program.

"I can't be like this. If Mas Arham himself doesn't care what I fight for."

Zahra called her employee in town x asking her to sell her boutique.

Zahra again looked at the check and the amount of his savings and added the range of boutique selling prices he had, "Hopefully this is enough to start everything. I'm tired of all this. I'll ask Reni's mother for advice, I'm sure Rani's mother is a woman who can understand other women's feelings, she can definitely help me," he said he still remembered the words of the employees who worked there if Ibu Reni even gave capital assistance and also directed some of their customers to some employees who had dared to open their own boutiques.

"I have customers too." Zahra recalled Arga's words that would return to order his suit.

Now Zahra's goal is to want to live independently despite all the pain and humiliation she has felt, no longer has her desire to program a baby tube in order to maintain and improve her domestic life. He just wants to be happy.

Zahra lay on the bed, waiting for her husband to come home. 

When the clock struck 02:30, Zahra could feel her husband coming home. She woke up and looked at her husband who was smiling happily.  

"New mom coming home?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, I do a lot of work and have to be overtime" he replied as he undressed.

"Would you take a shower or take a break?" tanyanya sat down and looked at her husband.

"I've taken a shower in the office. I'm gonna take a break."

"Bath in the office?" zahra asked looking at her husband with a suspicious look.

"Yes, I was so sultry that I took a shower before I came home. Let's go to sleep, I'm so tired" he said, then he lay down and pulled a blanket asking Zahra to sleep next to him.

"Mas sleep only. I want to pray tahajud," he said, then walked to the bathroom, as soon as Zahra closed her door. Negative thoughts had filled her head, she could see the happiness and closeness of her husband with Nasya and now her husband had taken a bath and came home at 03:00 Fajr.

"Well if that's what you want," he said then he wiped away the tears washing his face with ablution water and performed tahajud prayers asking for instructions to give clarity to his household, should he separate or continue to do so.

****

In the morning Zahra did not leave the room as usual, nor did she keep her husband's work clothes.

Zahra lengthened herself by soaking, while occasionally humming, unlike usual who was always in a hurry.

Arham, who also wants to take a bath, takes a shower, letting Zahra relax with the foam that fills her.

"Aren't you at the boutique?" tanyakanya.

"Of course I'm going to the boutique" she said, who went straight down and joined the shower where her husband was standing there. Washing away the fragrant foam that filled his plain body.

It was rare for Arham to touch her. She only realized that maybe it was not because she was exhausted, but because her husband no longer needed her warmth and already had someone to channel his desires.

Arham was a normal man, his body immediately reacted to see what Zahra was doing. When he wanted to touch her, Zahra refused and told him she was too late. Zahra came out first from the bathroom leaving Arham who kept looking at her with a disappointed look with passionate desire.

As soon as Arham came out Zahra was no longer in the room. He also did not see his clothes as usual that had been prepared on his bed.

"Why Zahra didn't prepare my clothes for me" his grunts headed to the closet to pick up his own clothes.

Saar exits Arhan's room and sees Zahra having breakfast first. He also joined Zahra, shortly after Wani also joined. He was usually the last to come to the table.

"Sorry, Mas. Can I take you today? I beg you."

"But" said Arham again wanted to refuse, but Zahra immediately cut the conversation.

"Mas, just this time! I was riding a taxi. I beg you, may it be today," he pleaded.

"All right, I'll take you" said Arham at last.

They had breakfast, Zahra glanced at her husband who was seen typing something on his phone. Zahra tightened her grip on both spoons.

'Did Arham send the message to Nasya? Did Arham prefer to take Nasya to the office instead of taking me to the boutique even though I was in a hurry?' inner Zahra.

All the changes and strange levels of her husband were not realized because of a closed sense of trust, but not for now. All that betrayal was clearly visible in his eyes.

"Zahra, it's not you anymore, is it?" ask Wani who knows how to distinguish Bibi's cooking from her daughter-in-law's cooking. He admitted that Zahra's cooking was far more delicious than the cooking that his house assistants often cooked for them.

"Yes, Mom. From today I can't cook anymore, I'm busy too. Customers in the boutique more and more.we until the mistake and if doing homework I fear will disappoint Ms. Reni, the owner of the boutique. If my work is slow. There is an aunt. Isn't that right, Bi?" said Zahra looking towards Bibi who happened to give extra food at the dinner table.

"Of course, it's aunt's job. All the work let Aunt do it." Aunt smiled at Zahra's attitude this morning.
