Married to Ex-Husband Boss
Chapter 2 Adam did not return

Adam usually comes home from work and arrives home at 7 p.m. Another case if he had overtime, would have told Elfira first through a message. But tonight, until 10 p.m., Adam still hasn't come home. No news of anything getting on his phone. Elfira tried to contact her husband's phone, but the only one who answered was the operator. Her husband's phone is inactive.

"Where are you, why is this hour still not home. Are you still with that woman" muttered Elfira anxiously as she paced in front of her house. Anindya had been sleeping in her room for an hour.

Because her husband did not come home too, Elfira finally decided to go into her house and rest. Because it is a drowsiness that has attacked since. "Maybe tomorrow morning I'll ask Adam why he came home late" Elfira locked the door and went into her room.

The next morning, Elfira woke up at 4:30 a.m. While glancing sideways, Elfira still did not see her husband. The next bed is empty, which means Adam didn't come home all night.

Elfira picks up the phone she put on the nightstand and tries to contact Adam again. But still the same, Adam's phone is off.

"Where are you really mas" Elfira was really worried about her husband not coming home and could not be contacted. His mind began to frown, Elfira also immediately went to the bathroom to clean up and perform dawn prayers.

After cleansing and ablution, Elfira took the face from the cupboard and put it on. Then he stretched the prayer mat facing the qibla. Elfira also performed the dawn prayer solemnly.

After the prayer and storing the mukena in the closet, Elfira rushed out of the room and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. For other homework, such as washing clothes, ironing and cleaning the house, there is already Bi Siti who works at her home. Only, he will come at 7 am and go home at 5 pm.

"Where to go, Bun. kok did not come to breakfast" asked the little Anindya. Even though he is only 4 years old, his speech is good.

"Emmm, I left for work this morning. I'm also sorry that I didn't have time to say goodbye to Anin." said Elfira lying. Elfira couldn't have told the truth if her father hadn't been home all night.

"Well, whereas Anin wanted to eat bribed with the father" Anin bowed lethargic because the father had gone to work, at least that was what the child had in mind.

"About bribe and mother well eat it. Later in the day, we go to my office and bring lunch for my father" Elfira tries to persuade Anin to deflect her disappointment.

"Really, Bun. Later in the afternoon we go to the father's office" asked Anin enthusiastically.

"yes sweetheart"

"yeee, asian. We go to dad's office" Anin was so happy to stand on a chair and jump.

"Anin, be careful son, will fall" said Elfira reminded Anindya. Anin sat down again, and Elfira fed him until the food ran out.

At exactly 12:00 Elfira and Anin arrived at Adam's office. After paying the taxi fare, Elfira took Anin by the hand and walked towards the office building where her husband worked.

"Sorry ma'am, what needs to come to this office" asked a security guard who stood guard in front of the building.

"I want to meet Adam Said, sir. I want to deliver lunch for her" replied Elfira.

"Mother, who was Adam's sir" the security guard asked again because he did not recognize Elfira.

"oh, I'm his wife sir. And this is our son"

The security guard looked at Elfira and Anindya from top to bottom.

"His uncle did not enter today, even from yesterday. Mr. Adam didn't say anything to mom"

Elfira is shocked to hear new facts about her husband. So, in addition to not coming home, Adam also did not go to work. Even yesterday he also did not enter, even though from the house of Adam he wanted to go to work.

"Oh, that's it, sir. If so, excuse me sir. Thanks for the information"

"Yes ma'am, you're welcome"

Elfira came home disappointed. Her husband had lied to her.

"Dad's not in the office baby, there's more work outside" lies Elfira.

"Well, I didn't see Dad"

"Sorry baby, we'll wait for Dad at home"

Anindya nodded with no spirit. Eventually Elfira and Anin returned home disappointed.

Meanwhile, in the office where Adam worked. Erlangga, who is the CEO of the company, saw Elfira talking to the security guard. After Elfira left, Erlangga went to the security guard and asked about Elfira.

"Sir Anton, who was that woman" Erlangga asked the security guard named Anton.

"That's Adam's wife, sir"

"Do you want him here"

"Said to meet with Mr. Adam, even though Mr. Adam did not enter work from yesterday"

Erlangga nodded in understanding while continuing to look at Elfira who walked on until finally the figure of Elfira disappeared inside the taxi he was riding.

POVs Elfira

At night when Anin and I were having dinner, I heard Adam's car enter the yard.

My heart is angry and disappointed, from yesterday Adam did not come home even with his braces he lied to me. There's no word from him. I want to vent my anger right now. But that's impossible for me to do, considering there's Anindya among us.

"Assalamualaikum" Adam said his greetings.

"Waalaikumsalam" I replied lazily.

"Dad" Anindya immediately ran as soon as she heard her father's voice. Mas Adam crouched down and carried Anin while walking towards the dining room.

Mas Adam sat Anin in his chair and asked Anin to continue his delayed meal. Then he came up to me and pecked at the top of my head. Usually I would greet him with a smile, but not tonight.

Regardless of Adam, I continued eating with a flat face.

"Darling, please bring food for mas dong" pinta mas Adam without guilt. Without answering I immediately took Adam's mas a plate of rice along with side dishes and vegetables. After that I put it in front of him. And don't forget I pour water from the kettle into the glass and then I put it in front of him, after that I go back to continue eating me.

As long as we spent dinner, not a word came out of my mouth. Only the voice of Anindya who had been chattering about what she did today, even Anin also told about our arrival to the office who wanted to meet her.

While continuing to listen to Anin's story, Adam also occasionally glanced at me, but still I did not mind.

After dinner, I cleaned the dinner table. Bringing dirty dishes and glasses to the sink for me to wash. Adam went straight into the room because he had to take a shower and change his clothes. I see the clothes he is wearing today are the same clothes that were worn by Adam yesterday.

After I finished washing the dishes, I invited Anin to go into her room. He looked sleepy, seen since he kept yawning.

As usual Anin always asked to be read a story book when going to sleep. I also read the story book that was chosen by Anin earlier. Just half of it I read, Anin was already fast asleep. I turn off the headlights and turn on the sleeping lights. I pulled the blanket to the chest, then I kissed her forehead and I whispered good-bye to her.

I came out of Anin's room and went straight to my room and Adam's. I was determined to ask Adam where he had been since yesterday not to go home even to the point of not going to work. I have to solve this problem tonight.
