Not the Perfect Wife
302. S2 - Does it take decades?
After lunch, Khairi and Afrin returned home. Ms. Nur and Laily also need a break. They do not want to interfere with the activities of their mother and sister. The two went to the other apartment in the building to retrieve the car keys. Luckily there was still one car here so, they didn't have to take a taxi.
"Where are we going, Mom?" ask Afrin when he saw the direction of the car driven by the husband did not go home.
"You buy a cell phone for Laily, I saw from yesterday he didn't hold a cell phone. You'll make a choice for him, yeah! I don't know women's tastes. If you want to buy it, that's okay."
"I don't need to, we'll make Laily a choice. My phone's still good."
Khairi stopped at the biggest counter there. Various brands and models of mobile phones are available. The man followed his wife to choose the flat object, until the choice stopped right at a phone with the latest output. Afrin and Khairi are not that good.
"This is it, Mas" said Afrin.
Khairi observed the phone. It is very good, it deserves Afrin so interested without being confused about which one to choose. The man nodded with a smile.
"Your love is very smart to choose. This is the latest phone, sir. Very rarely can buy because the price is high," said the shopkeeper.
"Then I choose this one. One more thing, he is not my lover, but my wife," Khairi said as he gently pulled Afrin's waist making the woman smile.
"Oh, sorry, I don't know. I thought you weren't married. Master and Miss still look very young. Again I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Ma'am. Don't take my husband's heart too hard. He does like a prank" Afrin said.
"Darling, you don't want to buy a phone like that? That's the latest release, you know, honey," said Khairi.
"Every month there is also always the latest output, not just today so, no need. My phone is still good, too" Afrin said.
The shopkeeper just kept listening. At first he thought the woman in front of him was buying a cell phone for himself, apparently not. If for her husband also does not seem to be because Khairi was also able to play his phone and it was also a recent release.
Khairi swiped his credit card when the store clerk asked for payment. Not to forget also the man gave the first card for the phone he bought.
"This is the phone, sir, Madam. Thank you for the visit" said the employee, bowing his head.
"Thank you, Ma'am."
Khairi and Afrin leave the shop and drive towards the house. Their bodies are very tired. Two nights they didn't sleep well. Tonight they will pay for it by sleeping. Hopefully nothing will bother them both.

"Are you not going to forgive your father?" nur asked as they watched television.
Laily was silent. Nor does he know what to do later. Is it forever like this? The girl also did not want to. However, his heart was too sore when he saw the man who had already harmed him indirectly.
The shadows were always present, but Laily had tried to forget everything. For now it might be better that he doesn't meet his father until his heart is completely sincere.
"Every human being has made a mistake. I won't force you, but try to make peace with the situation. God willing, everything will be fine, even with your heart" continued Bu Nur.
"I'm trying, Mom, but it's not easy. Every time I want to forget everything, the shadows of the bad memories of the past are just present and it hurts so much" Laily said, bowing his head with the restraint of his tears from dripping.
"Slow down, don't force it. When the time comes, your heart will open by itself. Just so you try."
Laily nodded, hesitating whether or not he could forgive his father. Just looking at him was already wanting to get angry, let alone talk to the man.
"Yes, rest. Tomorrow your brother will take a walk," said Nur, who is embraced by Laily.
The girl passed into her room leaving her mother alone. His brain is not working well at the moment. Maybe tomorrow after the break everything will be fine.

Since his return from the apartment Nur and Laily occupied, Hamdan had done absolutely nothing. The man was always daydreaming. He has not even taken his medication. That certainly made Merry worried. Many times the woman asked her husband to eat and take her medicine. However, Hamdan always said later, later and later.
Merry sighed softly looking at the husband sitting on the balcony with a blank look. The woman was saddened by Hamdan's rejection. However, the woman understood how the girl felt.
Left father from since in the stomach. Experiencing various difficulties and he is sure, if Laily must also often insulted by his friends because of poor.
"Ma, don't you want to eat yet?" ask Afrin who just came home with her husband.
Merry sent a message to Khairi. He said his father would not eat or take medicine. Already various ways he did, but did not also make Hamdan move.
"Not yet, papa just sat around without eating anything," replied Merry by staring at her husband.
"Let me do the talking" said Khairi, who immediately approached his father.
Merry and Afrin just saw it. Their distance wasn't too far, but it was enough to hear the two men's talk.
"You want to torture yourself?" khairi asked while sitting on the chair beside her papa.
"You mean?" ask Hamdan.
"What's with this Laily going down? Instead he will increasingly hate the figure of papa. The person who abandoned him and now committed suicide" Khairi said, surprising everyone.
How could that man have such thoughts? He also spoke without making small talk. Papa Hamdan only sighed then looked at his son.
"How was Laily? He's fine, right?" ask Hamdan.
"Well, I know he's hurt, but he's trying to be okay."
"What should Papa do? He seems to be very angry with Papa."
"It's natural, he's been living in trouble if he just accepts Papa's apology, it would look strange. Given what happened to him all this time," said Khairi. "Papa had to try harder to get his forgiveness. Just like his life's struggle for decades."
"Does Papa have to wait for decades to get his forgiveness?"
"Why not if it's necessary."
