This afternoon Elfira plans to surprise her husband by delivering lunch to his office. However, because the stock of food at home has run out. Elfira also shop first to the supermarket in one of the malls not far from her home.


Elfira put her groceries into the trolley. After buying all the necessary materials, Elfira pushed her trolley and took it to the cashier, then paid for it.


Out of the supermarket, Elfira walks past a shoe store with a famous brand. Elfira saw a pair of shoes on display in the window that caught her attention. When Elfira wants to enter the store, Elfira accidentally sees a man who is very similar to her husband. The man was with a woman who looked beautiful and sexy according to Elfira.


"Mas Adam" whispered Elfira. "Why Adam could be here, shouldn't he be in the office now"


With a quick step Elfira walked slightly away from the shoe store. Elfira stood in front of a children's clothing store across from the shoe store.


Elfira was convinced that what she saw was Adam, her husband. Elfira reached into her handbag and grabbed the phone stored in the bag. Elfira unlocks her screen and looks for her husband's contact. As soon as he got his contact, Elfira immediately pressed the green button to make a call.


It did not take long, it turns out that Adam immediately answered his call.


"Hello, dear assalamualaikum. Tumben called me at this hour, what's wrong" Adam replied across the street.


Elfira did not immediately answer, she was still fixated on noticing the figure opposite her who turned out to be her husband. Elfira shut her mouth in disbelief at what she saw. Adam with another woman who is currently engaged with her husband.


Adam cheated, Adam betrayed him. I don't feel her tears just flowing.


"Hello, honey. You're all right" Adam's voice came calling him back and made Elfira sober. Elfira quickly wiped away her tears and controlled the turmoil she felt inside her chest.


"Ah, yes, yes. Sorry, did you say what" replied Elfira after managing her feelings.


"Why dear, your tumben called mas jam this time. Is there something going on at home"


"Ah, not a mas. Nothing, I just want it, where it is now"


"Mas again in the office dong dear, where else. Time yes mas roam in working hours like this, which there mas can be fired dong. You are nothing" said Adam lying. He did not know that Elfira had seen everything, Elfira saw with her own eyes that Adam was with another woman whom Elfira did not know. Not at the office like Adam just said.


'You even lied to me mas' whispered Elfira inwardly.


"Oh, yes that's it. Sorry if Fira bothered, suddenly Fira misses the same mas, so Fira telephones mas"


"You miss the same mas, tumben. Do you want to go home now"


"Eh, don't do it. I will be scolded again, it's okay. It's a long time ago, Fira wants to continue cooking again. See you later at home. Assalamualaikum" without waiting for an answer from Adam, Elfira immediately disconnected her phone.


Elfira could not stand it anymore, with a thousand steps Elfira immediately went from the mall before Adam saw her there.


Meanwhile, Adam was confused by Elfira's slightly strange attitude.


"Who is calling, ma'am" asked the woman who was with Adam, known as Agnes.


"My wife called, but I think something was weird" Adam replied confusedly.


"Surprisingly why" asked Agnes.


"Ah is nothing, you don't need to think. You're done shopping, right"


"Already mas. Thank you for buying me new shoes" said Agnes.


"No problem baby, what the hell is not for you" Adam replied while poking Agnes' chin and make the woman increasingly tighten her body in Adam's arm.


"Well, Adam. So, more dear"


"Yuk, mas" Adam and Agnes left the mall after paying for their groceries.

Elfira, who felt hurt after seeing her husband cheating on her, wept for the fate of her marriage. After the mall, Elfira did not go home. He stopped at a park, he just needed time to calm himself down.


"Hiks..hiks..." Elfira cried as she pleased, her heart really hurt. Adam, whom he had known all this time, who loved him so much, had betrayed him. Elfira didn't want to believe it, but what she saw was real.


"Why are you cheating mas, what's my fault until you betray me like that. Hicks.hiks.."


"Are you not thinking about my feelings, are you not thinking about the feelings of our son Anindya. What if he knew that his father was making out with a woman who was not his mother" now Elfira only needed time to vent her feelings. Elfira doesn't know who to tell. He had no one, his parents had died long ago. He was an orphan, no relatives. Adam and Anindya are all he has right now.


Elfira was crying. There was a sense of tightness running through his heart. The betrayal committed by the husband is so deep. Because the Adam he had known all along was a perfect man. Even though Adam never hurt him, Adam always loved himself. Adam always did everything for himself. But now everything has been destroyed, just for a betrayal. Elfira's trust for Adam is now fading.


After spilling all the tightness through her cries, Elfira decided to go home. Because he's been leaving his house too long. Elfira was afraid, Anindya would cry if she did not see herself. Before leaving for the supermarket, Elfira left her son to Ms. Halimah, her next door neighbor.

"Assalamualaikum" Elfira said her greetings in front of Ms. Halimah's house.


"Waalaikumsalam" replied mbok Ratmi, a domestic assistant who works at the home of Bu Halimah "Eh, mbak Elfira. Enter mbak, mother again in the back garden. Play with non Anindya"


"Thank you, mbok. If so, Fira to the back first yes"


"Yes, non. Please"


Elfira entered the house of Ms. Halimah after being invited. "Assynogaic"


"Mother" Anindya shouted as she ran when she heard her mother's voice. Elfira had to crouch down so that Anindya could enter her arms.


"What a mother, sorry Mom. Elfira later bought" asked Elfira while holding Anindya and walking closer to Bu Halimah.


"It's okay, Fir. Precisely happy mother if you leave Anindya long here. She is a cheerful child, so the mother does not feel lonely if there is her here" said Bu Halimah while staring fondly at Anindya.


Ma'am Halimah is a very good neighbor. His house was three houses away from Elfira's house. Ms. Halimah only lives alone with Ms. Ratmi at home, her husband has long died. His son is currently studying out of town. The workers at Bu Halimah's house only mbok Ratmi who stay overnight, while the others come in the morning and go home in the afternoon. Ms. Halimah owns a bakery owned by her late husband. Bu Halimah bakery already has several branches, some are in the city and some are outside the city. From that store, Ms. Halimah can support herself and fund her child's school.


Although Ms. Halimah has a successful business, but she is not arrogant. Even he wanted to be entrusted to look after Anindya when Elfira was about to leave and could not bring her child.


After a while chatting with Ms. Halimah, Elfira decided to go home because she had to cook for her lunch later.


"Elfira said yes, Mom. Thank you for wanting to take care of Anindya, and sorry that Elfira often troubles mother" said Elfira sungkan.


"You are, Fir. Always feeling bad, like anyone. Let's just say I'm your mother, your presence here is also a cure for mother's longing for Keisya who is far away" said Ms. Halimah with a warm smile.


Ms. Halimah is very good with Elfira, even though she has no parents anymore. But the presence of Bu Halimah can treat his longing for the mother who has long since returned to the khalik.


"Fira said yes, Mom. Anin, salim used to be the same eye" said Elfira and told her son to salim with Bu Halimah.


"Anin go home first huh, eyang. Assalamualaikum eyang" said Anindya with a typical voice of a 4-year-old boy.


"Waalaikumsalam" replied Ms. Halimah.


After saying goodbye, Elfira and Anindya returned to their home.


Now Elfira must try to bear her own pain. He would not ask the husband who the woman was with him. Elfira had to find out first who the woman was, and what the husband was doing behind her back. Is there only one woman other than her, or maybe there are many other women who are cheating on her husband. Elfira has to find out first.
