Not so late, just stepping in the afternoon, Damar and Nadia were already sweating by their bed games. In the arms of her husband, Nadia still opened her eyes. Glanced at the small face of Damar who was seen closing his eyes from below,
"Mas."
"Heeem?"
"Mas hasn't slept?"
"I can't sleep Nad, ntar kebablasan. I have to go home."
"It's also a house."
"You know what home you mean."
Nadia was speechless, she also wanted to be called home. The real house, wanted to be loved by the in-laws and live in the big house. Although he was no less abundant in love and material from Damar. But he still felt less. Every time Damar went to Rinjani's house, Nadia never felt willing, she would cry afterwards. What else if you imagine Damar and Rinjani sleeping in the same bed. It was no longer Nadia's heart.
Clear thread slid from his eye patch. The feeling of tightness rippled again and continued to squeeze his chest. Be ill. So hurt. This pain that makes Nadia more greedy, want to have full Damar. And get rid of Rinjani. But how?
###
In a different location a few hours later.
Rinjani opened her eyes, as her bladder felt full. He rushed to the bathroom. After that he returned the basket. He smiled when he saw Damar sleeping there.
"Did Damar bring me here?" Rinjani muttered with a very sweet smile. She remembers falling asleep on the guest couch waiting for her husband to come home.
Rinjani got on the bed and lay down on her husband's side. Looking at the calm face of Damar who was sleeping. Rinjani hugged the body of the man in front of her. Damar turned around to hug her tightly even though his eyes were still closed.
The next morning, Rinjani opened her eyes, groping the side where she was lying, but there was only a vacuum. Rinjani frowned, she believed Damar slept there last night. There's no way it's all just a dream. Sayup Rinjani heard a voice from the balcony. Slowly Rinjani approached.
Damar stood facing out, his voice so that he could not be heard when he was receiving a call from Nadia.
"Nad...."
("Mas, Nathan's sick.") Nadia's raucous voice on the other end instantly made Damar widen his pupils.
("Nathan hot mas, it had a seizure. What should I do?") Again Nadia voiced with raucous in interspersed with sobbing.
"Silent. You don't cry. I'm there."
("Yes, Nadia wait a minute. Cepet mas.") Isak Nadia was there.
Gegas Damar entered the room through the balcony door in panic and riled, he was stunned to see Rinjani standing in pajamas on his body, looking at Damar's face with questioning eyes. Damar's heart was filled with anxiety, restless with Nathan's illness and Nadia's panic all alone away from him, weeping for his arrival at his side. With the woman in front of him, could he have heard what he said? Had he been found out if Nadia contacted him now.
"Rinjani's..."
"Who's calling this early in the morning?"
There was a slight feeling of relief, Rinjani was ignorant and unsuspecting. Damar racked his brain to go see Nadia.
"MMM... It's Rin, there's a problem on the project."
"What?"
"I have to go now."
"What are the field problems should also be a mas who intervenes alone?" rinjani asked a little astonished.
"It urges Rin. I really have to go there." Damar moved his steps closer to Rinjani.
"But it's still too early, it's still five in the morning. It's Sunday again."
"It urges Rin. I did say. Urgent."
Damar's face looked very pleading. Also excessive worry, makes Rinjani forced to understand and try to be prejudiced.
"Take care of it."
Rinjani tries to understand, this is the first Sunday Damar is at home. He thought he might spend some time together. It really isn't. Work is more important for Damar. That was what Rinjani had in mind.
Damar who felt he got the green light immediately ran out of the room after he swept his car keys and wallet. Drive the vehicle fast.

On the way to the hospital, Nadia continued to cry hugging Nathan and kissed the five-year-old's face. Damar was driving with a worried and anxious face. He could not bear to see Nadia who kept crying since she came earlier. Damar's hand stretched out across Nadia's head. Not a word came out of his mouth. Damar just wants to get to the hospital so Nathan can be treated immediately.
A few hours passed, Nathan had received treatment and could return home, indeed not only hospitalization handled in IGD alone. After going through the treatment process and taking medicine, Damar brought Nadia and Nathan back home. Damar laid Nathan carefully on the room bed in the shape of a Lightning McQueen car.
Damar stroking with his only child's hair dear. He then kissed Nathan. Nadia sat on the lips of the bed, her face still looked so sad. She looked at her husband with hope.
"Mas."
Damar looked, though,
"Are you going back to that house?" Nadia asked in a loud voice.
"Nad."
"I'm afraid mas, that Nathan...." Nadia could no longer continue her sentence, she was sobbing with her shoulders shaking slowly.
"He's...." Call Damar gently touching his wife's upper arm. Damar took his wife's body into his arms. He rubbed his head with love. Damar's eyes dewy, he looked up so that his tears blurted from his eye fertilizers.
"Mas won't go Nad. This is where you're supposed to be." Damar tried to calm his wife."With you, you, and Nathan."
Nadia looked up at her husband's face from under her chin.
"Mas Damar isn't going back there?"
"Today is not Nad."
"What about the next days?"
"He's...." Dessah Damar patiently."Mommy....."
Nadia quickly let go of Damar's embrace, moved away from the man and turned her face away.
"I know it's selfish, but we need you. Need your presence, need your reassurance, want to see when me and Nathan keep waiting. Keep in the shadow of that woman?"
"Nad, I just love you. Same with you guys."
"Show me that."
"Mas has given you everything you want. Is this still not enough?"
"Not all of us, not yet."
"He's..." Lirih Damar tried to be patient and looked at his wife with a plea.
"Tinggalin Rinjani. Or stay with us."
Of course the sentence that came out of Nadia's mouth made Damar surprised. A difficult choice, on the one hand the little family he loved so much, and on the other for his career and life survival.
