Karen opened the bag and took the medicine she bought at the pharmacy on the way home. He bought sleeping pills just in case because today he was afraid of being restless and unable to sleep after knowing some facts he had discovered.
One hour later Karen tried to sleep naturally but failed. He also took the medicine according to the recommended dose.
***
At 4 a.m., Karen opened her eyes. Although he had been helped with sleeping pills, he was still agitated in his sleep. Especially with nightmares that have just stopped by in the dream realm.
Seeing her husband sleeping next to her, she returned to tears. But he swiftly put away the clear circle with his hand. He must be strong.
His eyes caught the shadow of Daniel's cell phone lying unguarded. Karen's heart was curious. His mind churned between curiosity with fear of disappointment.
When he finds a photo or chat with another woman, his heart breaks.
He took a breath and braced his heart to open the phone. If it was true that Daniel was having an affair, would the man be a little careless leaving traces on the cell phone he used daily?
Or is he already at the expert level with a clean phone and a secret backup phone?
He took the phone. He pressed the power button once to unlock the screen lock. However, the phone was in a dead condition.
Shit, why die anyway? (Karen).
He pushed the power button for a while but was unable to turn the phone on. Turns out the power's out.
He plugged the phone into a charging cable. Don't forget he's plugging the other end into the power source.
A few minutes after it was slightly charged, he turned on the phone. Haven't seen anything on that phone, Daniel squirms.
Don't get up yet. (Karen).
Daniel seems to be moving more and more, causing Karen to panic. He put down Daniel's phone and closed his eyes again.
Shortly, Daniel awakens. Like the habits of millennials, the first thing to look for when you wake up is a cell phone. He remembers the last time he used an object that sometimes died because of an empty battery.
Oh, my phone has been charged? (Daniel).
Look at the wall clock. At 4 a.m. He went to the kitchen to get water because his throat was very dry.
When Daniel comes out of the room, Karen has a chance to see Daniel's cell phone. But he had lost his curiosity.
After all, he had no idea how long Daniel would be outside. He was afraid that Daniel would come in and find him investigating his cell phone.
Maybe it was that day he had not been outlined to know what was inside the phone. The opportunity that morning was missed because she did not want to open her husband's phone.

Ren's Writer's Office
Haris smiled very happily. "I just felt the universe again very good with me. I want someone and his condition is very supportive for me as he is." Haris suddenly raved while drinking tea with Anggoro at their respective desks that were close to each other.
The image that heard Haris's voice looked towards the source of the sound and rolled his eyeballs upwards.
What kind of tea does he drink, anyway? Early in the morning, it slid. Or maybe stale tea? Or pee kebo? (City).
"Yes, Mas Haris. If the condition is right and suitable, just apply!" saran Anggoro while sipping his warm tea.
"A little bit more, Ang! One more step directly cling. This is what the universe supports. I want her, uh her husband cheating. Pray for her divorce soon with her husband, yeah."
Anggoro glared until his eyes looked like a plump egg. "Lhoh, so from earlier we talked about married women? Don't do it, Haris! find a single one!"
"Yes, soon she's also single .. after the divorce."
"Don't find a soul mate from a divorcee's doain! One day if Mas Haris again ayem housekeeping continues there is a doain exactly like that, how about jal?"
"Hahaha, if I were her husband, I wouldn't cheat. The house is no longer adem ayem. It's not wrong with me, Mas Ang."
"But you better not get into his life now. Wait already ketok hammer, now directly want slurrrppp slrupat-sruput, it's okay with it."
"This I just nyicil anyway not directly nyerobot. I know ethics."
Karen walked into the office after lunch alone.
"Pppssttt, the Boss is loner. Eating alone does not rhyme the same image Inda kayak usually," said Anggoro.
Haris smiled triumphantly and followed Karen into her room.
"Eh, maybe the person in question was Boss Karen" whispered Anggoro.
"It could be. From the beginning he worked here, he was the new employee who was most familiar with the boss. But, cook anyway he wants to grab the boss from Doctor Daniel. They are still brothers."
"If that's the case, don't care about your brother or best friend. Ever heard the term 'temen eat temen'? Well if this is called 'brother eat brother'."
"Heheh, I'm following the celebrity development, Cit."
Inside the room Karen stiffness occurs. Karen sat in her chair, Haris sitting in front of her desk. They looked at each other but didn't talk to each other.
While Inda felt maybe the two people needed privacy like before.
"I'm out first, Boss Black," said Inda.
"Hm."
After Inda came out, Haris spoke up. "Yesterday I haven't been able to get any additional evidence, but I've got the woman's name in the photo and the video."
"Who?"
"That's very excited. But not a full name. Her name is Rose."
"Which person? You know the address?"
"You want to come? Unfortunately I don't know that far. I'll find out again. But if you already got the address, do not immediately hit. Intai first and if you can wait for Daniel's moment to come to his house."
Karen nodded then lowered her head. The world is dark for him right now. The spirit that had been burning yesterday was extinguished.
"So what's my offer?"
"What offer?"
"I told you I'd be a protector to you. You want to be the one I'm protecting?"
"Ris, my problem with Daniel is only a matter of days. And for example, we divorced, not so fast was looking for a change. I even want to be alone first. Like, my brain overwhelmed the same married life."
Karen leaned her back on the back of the chair while wriggling and sighing long.
"Hoahhhh, maybe I found myself traveling to Italy, enjoying good food there to like Eat, Pray, Love. Leaving from Italy, to Thailand eating the real tomyam, continue to Korea eating kimchi which is the original cuisine of the people there."
"I'm coming, hehe."
"No! I want to be alone."
"I'll be alone too, but the date and destination are the same as yours. We could meet there by accident."
"Gwffhttt." Karen was amused for a moment. But the laughter soon disappeared. "I was at the expo last night. Daniel wasn't there."
"Yes nothing, it is a non culinary stand only until 6 pm. If there is no night. Wait ... You don't know?"
Karen shakes.
Suddenly Haris remembered Karen who had asked about the expo. "You know all the booths are closing at 9 p.m?"
Karen nodded. "And he came home about 10 p.m."
Once again Haris felt the universe was very supportive. "So at least 2 to 3 hours Daniel is not known whereabouts, yes."
"I also went to the room in the video last night, and the occupants changed. Not a girl named Rose, not Daniel."
Haris nodded. "Maybe they don't feel safe at that hotel moving to another hotel?"
Karen was stunned to hear all Haris's conjectures that she felt were very reasonable.
