Let's Go Home

Arimbi is getting sick of being in Nanggulan. Not because it was a small village, but there was nothing he could do there. She leaves her job and her husband who is somehow reportedly just to hide, Arimbi blows his breath in annoyance.

Without saying much Arimbi packed all his things.

“Ma..,” Reprimand Regata. Eyes glazed.

“We can't keep going like this, mama will leave first. Soon mama will notify you and Mia,” said Arimbi.

Mia sat on the bed. His eyes watched Arimbi who was busy arranging his clothes. Regata hugged her daughter tightly. Again his tears spilled. Regata doesn't understand why she's been crying so much lately. Like losing his identity, his weak figure was clearly visible. 

That night Regata looked at the ceiling of the room until finally asleep. 

*****

Arimbi arrives in Jakarta picked up by Bobby. The sturdy man was the same as he seemed, not saying much. Arimbi asks Bobby to pass in front of his house, not many police are on guard. The house is unkempt, the plants are yellowing a lot. The wild grass began to grow. 

Arimbi and Bobby head to a pavilion that Arimbi has rented. After calculating the expenditure, it is more efficient to stay in the pavilion than the cost especially cheap hotels. Fortunately, his assets were not confiscated because they were personal assets. Again in addition to the signature on the document, there is no evidence anything that can incriminate her husband such as the flow of funds, fat accounts or money laundry as alleged by his political opponents.

Arimbi is grateful that they only have one child and have been financially independent, supported by their family background and Danuh's family who are entrepreneurs.

Arimbi remembered him and Danuh had a big fight when he knew Danuh joined a political party and ran for DPR RI. Even though his income as an entrepreneur is much more, than as a member of the House of Representatives. At that time Arimbi had accused her husband of being the most selfish man on earth. 

“For what to be a member of DPR all, huh? There is still a lot of work to be developed. What good are you taking care of other people's lives” shouted Arimbi at that time.

His emotions are ignited while Danu insists on staying on his stance.

Their relationship had deteriorated plus Danu always reasoned about his work when there was a family event. Danu who used to be passionate about working in his housing complex is now rarely seen. His social life might be thriving out there, but not with their old social life, which they used to run. 

Arimbi who got out of control always complained to his extended family. Although everyone tried to make him happy, Arimbi remained in his argument. If the goal is to contribute to the state, we are never late to pay taxes, often for charity, have a foundation in the field of health. 

When they arrived, Bobby immediately placed Arimbi's luggage inside the pavilion. They headed to the police station, of course there must be a lot of media less work that will be pitted with his life.

Arimbi prepares the mind to face whatever happens at the police station later. Sure enough, many reporters were milling around in front of the police station. Arimbi only wears a shirt, satin pants, kets, and a mask. Her black hair was tied carelessly, she was not wearing accessories, but somehow some eyes looked questioningly at her.

Arimbi opened her mask, as her husband sat in front of her. Nothing is different, Danu is still a male drizzle without sideburns. Although the prisoner clothes given look shabby, like it has been washed often but Arimbi admitted the handsome face of her husband did not change.

Arimbi's emotions exploded again. An expletive swearing came out of his mouth, which further irritated Danu just smiling. That smile has not been seen for a long time, Throw all the rage.

“Then Regata and Mia can already be down here,” asked Arimbi.

Danu nodded. 

Arimbi sneered, knowing that was why they had to hide when there were no journalists covering them or what was like on tv-tv. Arimbi wiggled at the surroundings.

“DPR member infidelity case is better,”

bobby said, reminding Arimbi of the mob of journalists who crowded in front of the Police station. It may be the case that is being investigated.

“Time runs out,” Bobby said slowly, as one of the officers walked in.

Danu nodded slowly towards his wife and Bobby.

“Let's go home,” take Arimbi.
