The cloud is frozen. For the first time, the rainbow revealed the pain that had been buried. There is not a word that can be said from the mouth of the cloud. Even to look into the eyes of the rainbow, he felt ashamed.
“Roist, I—”
“So morning I also found a lipstick stain and the fragrance of a woman's perfume on your clothes.”
The clouds were surprised. Turns out his lie last night was known to the rainbow. The intention of lying so as not to hurt the rainbow more. But it only adds to the array of wounds he has ever created.
The rainbow dropped its body on the edge of the bed, making the Clouds choose to crouch before him. “Then I can explain. It's not what you think.”
“What do you need to explain, Mom? That you left your wife at night to be with another woman?”
“I just drove Priska home to her apartment because she was drunk. After that I went straight home.”
“Priska? The woman whose picture you posted at home? Didn't you ever say that she is the only woman you love?” A question that made the Clouds feel ashamed to answer. “And last night you were with him?”
The Cloud's heart melted. Should he explain that he almost fell into a deep pit of sin last night because of Prisca's seduction? The clouds lowered while sighing long.
“I once said so. But I swear, last night nothing happened between me and Priska.”
The rainbow smile looks bitter. “It's okay. Anyway nothing happened or not, won't you still leave me in the end?”
The clouds are getting embarrassed.
“What can I do to fix it?”
“Ask yourself, Mom. People who are completely aware of their own mistakes know what to do to fix them.”
..........
The clouds thumped as they laid their bodies beside the Rainbow. Since marriage, this is the first time they have slept in bed.
Actually, Awan wanted to sleep on the floor with a carpet, but Rainbow forbade because of fear that her husband would be sick if sleeping on the floor. As a result, they also sleep in the same bed, even though there is a bolster pillow that becomes a mediator.
The clouds stared at the plain face that had been deep in his sleep. It's like being washed away. Rainbow's face looked very peaceful without any burden even though the Clouds knew he was hurt very deeply. Which wife will stand with a husband who loves another woman?
“I'm sorry, Rainbow. I'll try to fix everything and make amends. So that I can be worthy of you.”
The clouds stared at the ceiling. Thinking of the rainbow. There was no more worry in his heart.
..........
"Mas, wake!"
The clouds can hear a soft sound that wakes them up. The man wriggled softly in a blanket, then slowly opened his eyes. The figure wrapped in all-white clothes in dim room lighting managed to surprise him.
"Yeah!" the clouds immediately got up and leaned against the bed. He stared at the figure standing before him who turned out to be a rainbow. The clouds breathe a sigh of relief, he just remembered being staying at the house of the in-laws.
"Sorry, I'm surprised. I think ...."
"ghosts? It's time for dawn prayer. Dad asked Mas," said Rainbow.
"Yes, I'll wake up."
Like last night, for the second time the Cloud prayed together with Zidan as priest. Again the sister-in-law saved her pride in front of the in-laws. Because Ahmad's father had asked him to become an imam.

"Eating a Lot of Clouds. Sorry, the food is simple" said Ms. Humairah.
The clouds devoured the breakfast menu with pleasure. The warm atmosphere in the house made his appetite increase.
"Enak, Mum."
"That's a ripe rainbow."
The clouds glanced at the rainbow with a faint smile. Rainbow Cuisine is always delicious.
After breakfast, the clouds returned to the room. He had to shower and go to the office. Fortunately, there is no need to return home to change clothes, because he always provides change of clothes in the car.
"Roofers!" call the clouds from the bathroom.
The rainbow that was sweeping in the living room immediately entered upon hearing her husband's call.
"What's up, Mom?" tanyanya while standing holding a broom in front of the bathroom door.
"I forgot to bring a towel! Can you please get it?"
One thing that bothers him, the bathroom in the Rainbow house there is only one, which is near the kitchen. And it is a habit of the clouds who always forget to bring a towel to the bathroom.
"Yes, I'll get it for a second."
The rainbow went back to the room to get a towel for her husband. When the clouds came out, Rainbow looked down embarrassed when he saw the body shape of her husband who was only wrapped in a towel.
The clouds rushed back to the rainbow room at the very end. Passing through the living room, where Ahmad's father was enjoying a cup of coffee with a newspaper in his hand.
The middle-aged man was surprised to see the son-in-law's back filled with tattoos.
"Astaghfirullahaladzim," he murmured inwardly. He only glanced at Zidan, but did not make any comment.
Unlike Zidan who is no longer surprised. The young man also tried to be relaxed in front of his father.
"Don't think, Dad! Remember, I have a history of heart."
Zidan who had wanted to complain about the condition of his brother's household undoes his intention to remember the father who has a history of heart.
Ahmad's father looked at Zidan. "Do you know something you don't?"
