In the middle of the dark night accompanied by thunder and heavy rain, the skinny body spurred the vehicle down the road. Hope to find the one who is loved and not too far away. The hungry body that had not been filled with food since noon he had ignored. The sense of responsibility to the in-laws and God is greater than the hunger.
Every time he found a crossroad he stopped for a moment. Tracing one by one the crossroads.
That patience and sacrifice bore fruit. He who is sought is ahead there walking in fear. The bag he carried was tightly hugged. Occasionally looking back afraid of the long-haired man who was following him.
There is regret in the chest. There are questions that are confused with reason. Why should women who struggle, why at that time he did not accept his invitation. Love is like that, a woman who has to fight. Such sentences continued to spin in Sofia's brain which caused her steps to swallow. As he looked behind the longish man who was following him grew closer.
"Where are you going, come here first brother." The man shouted a little.
Sofia was sure that the man was not a good man, so she took a thousand steps to escape. Slippery roads due to rain make feet slip several times. When the body is no longer balanced, he really slipped.
"Can't tell you not to run," said the gondrong man grinning. He deliberately slowed down the steps to make Sofia even more afraid. Moreover, the show does look very sad.
"Let's ride!" Wawan who had been watching from a distance immediately launched his motorbike and stopped right beside Sofia. "Ride up!" Wawan slightly snapped because Sofia looked at him instead. This is not a soap opera scene that must look at each other first to create a romantic scene. Wawan believes his thin and unfilled body will not be able to fight the big bodied gondrong man.
After Sofia boarded, Wawan immediately turned back towards home. There was no conversation, only the roar of the wind that hit the face accompanied them. Sofia was busy with her thoughts while Wawan was busy holding back hunger and dizziness due to the rain.
When they got home, they saw someone knocking on their house. When hearing the roar of the motor, the person turns around the body. "Where are you from?" turns out it was Sofia's Dani-sister.
"Take the package, a," Wawan lied. Not that a husband is a dress for his wife and vice versa. There's no way he'd say his wife was trying to escape to see her ex-lover. It's the same as stripping yourself. What would they say if this news were spread.
"This kind of rain?" Dani frowned. She seemed to be hesitating about her sister-in-law's answer. He looked at Sofia who did not dare to return his gaze.
"Yes, because the packman is a kemaleman. He said he couldn't get the package here." One lie has covered another lie. After this there will be many other lies.
"Can be tomorrow."
"Udahlah A' does not need to ask much. Look out cold." Sofia got off the bike, asking her sister not to block the road. "Where's the key?" he continued with a sharp tone asking for the key to Wawan who is still parking the motor on the terrace.
"If you talk to the husband, use a little manners, Fia. Wawan is your husband." Dani stared dislike of his sister's behavior.
"A lot of talk," Sofia replied. He took his body to the bathroom. While Wawan still has to face his brother-in-law who is still staring suspiciously.
"Go in first, A?" haggara Wawan's.
Seeing the body shivering Dani decided to refuse. It was not the right time for him to argue over a couple who looked strange in his eyes. "Tomorrow, Aa stopped by just to make sure you guys. Aa's coming home." Dani approached his motorbike then left after seeing Wawan nod.
"Non't cook?" ask Sofia who has changed clothes. He began to feel hungry but when he went to the kitchen only found raw food ingredients.
The woman asked did not answer. He felt his body start to feel bad. Let alone to cook, to open your eyes and answer questions from the wife alone really can not.
Because Wawan never answered finally Sofia cooked food for herself. Boil instant noodles with eggs. She ate alone and did not offer her husband.

Sunlight turns the cold of the morning due to the rain last night to warm. But Wawan was still with the situation as last night when Sofia came out of the room. Though usually the man woke up early, washed the clothes himself and his wife and prepared food. But this morning there is no such Wawan who there is only Wawan who still closed his eyes under the blanket.
"Women! Wan?" A man called Wawan from outside the house. But the so-called one still closed his eyes tightly.
Sofia who had just come from the bathroom turned to her husband.
"A, someone called," said Sofia standing beside the body of Wawan who was still loyal with closed eyes. "A! A Wawan! Ih basic kebo," grumbled Sofia left the husband who never woke up. He opened the door that had been knocked by someone outside.
"Eh," the hand that had knocked on the door hung as it opened without warning. "Anviruses exist?" ask a man almost the same age as his Dani-kak.
"There, but still sleeping. Who yeah?"
"Mang Aweng, Wawan's coworker." The man named Aweng thrust a hand that was immediately replied by Sofia but did not mention who she was and her status. "Woman want to work?" mang Aweng.
"I don't know, I didn't wake up either."
"meaning?" Mang Aweng looked at the puzzled. Not waking up here means what.
"Alright, people were awakened from earlier also did not wake up."
Bad thoughts immediately entered the mind of Mang Aweng. He immediately barged in to make sure the state of Wawan. "Wjp ... Wan?" Mang Aweng shook his body that never opened his eyes. "Whoa?" again he tried but it didn't work.
"Call Mr. RW now!" tell Mang Aweng who started panicking as well as Sofia. She followed in a panic because she did not know what happened to her husband so Mang Aweng told her to contact Mr. RW.
