"Which way, Ka. About?" ask Amanda to Arka.
They are currently holding the twins, while sorting through examples of wedding invitations displayed on the website. This website is a wedding invitation service.
"It's like it's good." said Arka.
"Why isn't this one?" said Amanda.
"What you choose is too rame, Ka." he continued.
"What you choose is too simple, man."
"Yes, how gini than rame it." said Amanda again.
"But it's too plain Amanda, this bagusan."
"This for all I think."
"Yetoo."
Suddenly Azka and Afka both voiced, with a super-stiff tone. Making both of their parents suddenly fall silent and look at each other.
"His father can't make a fuss, Ka." said Amanda.
"You anyway."
"Ye, your man first."
"Yetoo."
As Azka and Afka grow more furious, Arka and Amanda are now grinning at each other.

Long before that day.
Ningsih seemed to be sneaking up on her husband's steps, things she had never done throughout their marriage.
Since finding the photo of Fiona last time, Ningsih so always suspicious of any motion of Arka's stepfather.
That day he deliberately pretended to go to the market to sell, he hid somewhere and followed the steps of Arka's stepfather. Arka's stepfather showed no suspicious signs. He went to the store as usual, he also arrived at the store and traded as usual.
Ningsih peeked at her husband's activities from a distance. Until lunchtime, Arka's stepfather suddenly said goodbye to his employees. He started to move out of the shop, and Arka's mother was always stalking from behind.
The man then visited a flower shop not far from where he was trading. Arka's stepfather bought a bouquet of red roses. Even during the marriage, Ningsih had never been bought flowers by her husband.
Ningsih thought, did Arka's stepfather want to surprise her. He also sumringah, imagining if the flower will be sent home.
So after her husband finished buying flowers, Ningsih waited for a notification on his phone. Waiting for stepfather Arka says,
"I sent something to you."
He also saw from a distance whether Arka's stepfather reached for a cell phone to contact her or not. Apparently not.
"Ah, maybe he wants to give that surprise later." thought Ningsih.
Then Arka's stepfather took a cell phone and he looked long enough. Ningsih looked at her phone just in case Arka's stepfather invited her to meet somewhere.
But apparently not, even a car is now approaching the man. It seems to be an online taxi. Yes, Arka's stepfather booked a taxi online. Not to contact Ningsih.
"Don't let him go straight to the house or to the market." thought Ningsih. While he is here.
"Okay, this is bad." said Ningsih when Arka's stepfather entered the taxi and the taxi drove.
"Where are you?"
Arka's mother pretended to ask Arka's stepfather on WhatsApp. If he answers on the way to the house, then Ningsih will move to the house. But if you answer on the way to the market, then Ningsih will rush to the market. So that they meet in the right place.
"In the shop."
Arka's stepfather sent a reply to a message, which made Ningsih instantly speechless.
"Oh, is it busy?" Ningsih still continues in pretense.
"Yes, the shop is rame." reply Arka's stepfather.
Ningsih's heart began to fret, how could her husband lie to her.

"We're invited, clothes already. Catering, you haven't." said Amanda.
"Udah." replied Arka.
"Seriously?" Amanda looked at her husband.
"Trusted right?" ask Amanda.
"Yes, I won't run away. If you run away already, we pesen food via online only. The invitation person is also not much koq." said Arka.
"Yes, anyway." Amanda laughs.
"Ehee."
"Are you, uh, in the discussion?" ask Amanda to Azka who is in her lap.
"Ehee."
"Why is it happening, son?" ask Amanda.
The baby rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"Drowsiness." said Arka later.
"Sleep, you. Main dong, don't keep bobbing." said Amanda.
"Yetoo." Afka riled, then yawned.
"Hoalah very big mangasapnya, son." said Arka while laughing.
Suddenly Arka's mother called, Arka turned on the load speaker on her phone and started talking.
"Yes mom, why?" ask Arka.
"Ka, when your papa bought flowers. I never bought flowers for my mom."
Arka laughed, Amanda listened.
"Yes good dong, ma'am. That means papa wants to show his love to mom."
"But not for mom, Ka."
Arka.
"I mean mother?"
"Yes, your papa suddenly bought flowers, I saw. I think she wants a surprise for mom, or she's gone somewhere. Mom asked her where she was, she said in the store. He wasn't in the store."
"Do you know where you're not at the store?"
"Mother followed your papa this morning."
"Mother nguntit, the story?" ask Arka.
"Yes, I suspect Ka. Same with Fiona-Fiona."
Arka sighed.
"I mean mom, you suspect you're cheating?" ask Arka again. He looked at Amanda before saying that.
"Yes, Ka. Mom's feeling bad. I know, you came to your papa not in a state of holiness. But we are married, husband and wife. How try it feels if our partner cheated, sad to know not."
"Mom, Arka doesn't believe that papa is like that. Papa is a good man. The proof is that he wants to hold us accountable all this time, without him asking for anything in return."
"Mom didn't want to believe it either, Ka. But look at your papa's behavior today. I'm afraid, afraid that your father has another woman besides you. Because he bought flowers, went somewhere. But tell mom in the chat, if she's still in the store."
Arka sighed, again he and Amanda were with each other.
"Positive thinking first, ma'am. Who knows papa again want to look at his friend who is sick, so buy flowers."
"Koq sick people, bring flowers. The sick man brought fruit." said Arka's mother.
"Not wrong, ma'am. There is a sick loh brought flowers, let the room seger and he cepet healed. Did you ever see it in soap operas?"
"Yes why your dad had to lie, about where he is now. If you really want to look at his friend who is sick, why not be honest with mom."
Again Arka sighed, his mother's words were true.
"This is it, mom. Instead of thinking about it, mending mom asked me directly to papa. When he gets home, ask him where he's from."
"Yes, if your papa is me, Ka. His name's bad if I say yes, prison is full."
Arka and Amanda are back in a face-to-face fight.
"Hopefully not, mom. Arka still believes papa koq. If Arka loves the solution yes it was, I asked her directly just as papa. Let's clear up the problem."
Ningsih was silent, he was now weighing.
