Alan slowly drove his vehicle at medium speed, the journey through which a little congestion to get home a little slow.
In Alan's heart a fear enveloped, a fear of the truth.
Though from the fear that Alan felt, it was precisely the beginning of his destruction. There is no honesty just for the fear of losing, whereas a lie can be the beginning of losing trust.
Dara did not ask further about Alan who became quiet, because Dara never found out anything after asking once there was no convincing answer then Dara would let her. He bided the time came when the man would tell the truth, even though he already knew something about the truth he was silent.
Today Dara is not unsuspecting of the changes, but rather gives Alan time and tells his own story.
"You want to go home or buy something for Farel? " ask Alan against Dara.
"Just go home, it's already afternoon and it's better to arrive quickly" replied Dara
"Alright" said Alan while stepping on his vehicle gas at medium speed.
On the trip is very time-consuming, because facing the weekend sometimes residents on to the vacation spot to cause traffic jams. After hours on the journey finally arrived at Dara's residence, the vehicle stopped perfectly in front of Dara's house.
"You want to stop by first or go straight home? " ask Dara against Alan.
"Come by, it's a little sleepy" Alan replied.
Dara and Alan got off the vehicle and headed straight for the entrance, after being in front of the door.
Dara opened the door and let Alan in.
"Sit down first, I'll grab a drink first" Dara invited Alan to sit on the sofa in the living room.
Alan immediately dropped his body on the sofa, then looked up at the ceiling.
Without Alan realizing it turns out Dara noticed him.
Dara immediately went to the kitchen to make a drink for Alan, after arriving at the kitchen there was Meli.
"Have you come home, ma'am...? " ask Meli against Dara.
"New until, this is going to make a drink first for Mas Alan" replied Dara while taking a glass and making a drink for Alan.
Drinks are ready to serve, Dara returned to the living room while carrying a cup containing coffee.
After arriving in the living room, Alan closed his eyes while sitting down. Dara does not dare to build Alan, after putting coffee on the table Dara let Alan to sleep.
He immediately went to wash himself of sweat after a long day of work.
Dara intends to take a shower first and change clothes, because she also has a promise with Winda that they will go outside and have dinner together.
Dara was busy with her rituals, so spent a long time until she forgot that there was Alan.
After Dara was done with the ritual, she came out of the room to go to Farel's room and told Meli to prepare that they would go outside.
After reaching the outside of the room he saw that Alan was still asleep on the sofa.
"Gosh my god, it turns out he's still here" Dara said with a surprised look.
Dara sat down next to Alan and shook Alan's body.
"Mas..wake up" Dara called in her soft voice, and her voice and touch had already managed to get Alan to wake up.
"Eh, sleep yes" Alan replied as he rubbed a rough face.
"The coffee is cold" said Dara.
"I'm drinking now! " answered Alan while taking a cup of coffee and drinking it.
After the coffee ran out, Alan paid to go to the bathroom first to wash his face before going home.
After a while Alan was out of the bathroom, and it looked fresher.
"I'm going home first, right? " alans' farewell to Dara.
"Yes be careful not to speed the car" Dara's message to Alan.
"Yes" replied Alan briefly, smiling and staring fixedly at Dara's face.
"I'm leaving now Dad"
Alan walked slowly out of the house to immediately head to the vehicle that would take him home.
After Alan left, he immediately went back inside the house and told Meli that they would go outside.
After preparing long enough, the time was also getting night and Vinda had already left for the place they set.
"Ma... Where are we going anyway? " asked Farel to his mother.
"We will eat out at Farel's favorite restaurant, we have not eaten there for a long time" replied Dara with a faint smile staring at Farel's happy face, because Farel is always excited if invited out of the house.
"Ok Ma. that taxi has arrived" pointed Farel towards the vehicle that had stopped in front of the house.
Finally the three of them walked towards the taxi and all were already in the vehicle.
With instructions from Dara, the driver drove the vehicle at medium speed.
The journey that in the past experienced to macetan, but during the trip Farel no stopping make Dara and also Meli laugh.
The journey that takes a long time, until finally they have arrived at the place they are headed.
Dara gets off the vehicle and Farel is followed by Meli.
The three of them went straight into the restaurant because Winda was waiting for him inside.
After arriving inside Dara searched for the whereabouts of Winda, and after a while Winda waved his hand.
"Sorry late" Dara said as she sat next to Farel and faced Vinda.
"It's okay, let's eat what? " asked the Winda to Farel.
"I want to eat my favorite meal, when the aunt forgot to keep drinking what is it? " said Farel while thinking of a good drink according to him.
"Yes aunty order now well" said Winda.
After the food in the message they wait for a while, until the time to eat is ready to serve and they are ready to eat.

"For no appetite, let alone eating like that" Alan replied with a hostile look.
"don't take it all out on the food is not good, many out there are starving" Novia said while preparing food to her mouth, for she was whatever her main eating problem was.
"You eat"
"Without asking me to finish this meal" replied Novia casually.
After a while the food had run out with no leftovers, so too did Giska she spent all the food without leftovers only Alan who had not eaten.
"It's done, right? what important things you want to say" Alan asked Novia.
Novia took a paper from her bag and gave it to Alan.
"What'sthis? " ask Alan against Novia.
"That's the divorce papers I've prepared for you to sign, on the same date as our marriage and on this date I'm releasing you. There's no point in us holding on to a bond where there's no certainty, and I'm tired" Novia said, speaking softly even though her voice was barely audible to Alan.
"Thank you for all your understanding" Alan said, holding Novia's hand and staring fixedly at her face, for the first time during their marriage Alan touched Novia's hand.
Without Alan realizing there are people who notice him not far from them.
"Mas, Alan." said the man, with a look of surprise.
Alan releases his hand which is holding Novia's.
