Rainbow Blanketed Clouds
Why is Brother Lying?
Zidan helped his friend bring Cloud to the car. The anger still seemed very obvious in the blasphemous gaze of the young man. He was eager to present a fist to the face of the man who had married his brother a few days ago.
On his way home, he saw Awan's car parked in front of the nightclub. Curiosity also arises, in the mind of asking, what would his brother-in-law want to go to a place of worship?
“Man, just bring the bike. I will take my sister-in-law home first,” Zidan told his friend.
“Alright, you be careful.” After the departure of his friend, Zidan sat in the steering chair.
His sharp gaze returned he pointed to his sister-in-law. A conclusion immediately rose in his mind. The clouds did show suspicious behavior since the first day of marriage. The man disappeared at the wedding reception which made Rainbow have to stand alone in the undercover. Not to mention last night's meeting at the supermarket, where the Clouds' attitude was very cold towards the Rainbow.
Zidan took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket. He must immediately contact Pelangi, because he did not know his brother's new address.

The rainbow had just finished the evening prayer when it heard its phone ring. Still in white, he grabbed a cell phone.
“Zidan? What's he phone night-night.”
Without waiting, Rainbow instantly shifted the green symbol on the phone screen.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Dek.” Gentle Rainbow sounds rang out, which made Zidan's heart seem slashed. Her tender and loving sister even got a husband like Clouds.
Zidan set his breath before answering, “Wa'alaikumsalam, Kak.”
“Tumben phone night-night. What was? Same mom dad healthy?” Rainbow's memory was directly addressed to both parents. What else is Ahmad's father who has a history of heart disease.
“Alhamdulillah, father healthy mother,” replied Zidan. “Kakak can share location Brother now?”
“Share location, indeed why?” Seen a thin wrinkle on the forehead of the Rainbow.
“Send me, Brother. I do not know yet where Kak Pelangi lives now,” he replied trying to relax, although inwardly shrouded in anger.
“Oh, yes. Sister send now, yes.”
The rainbow stared at the clock on his phone. The time has shown at one in the morning, but her husband did not come home. Want to call also do not know where to go, Rainbow does not have her husband's phone number.
Besides, he couldn't possibly ask his in-laws. Isn't it strange to ask for Awan's phone number, when they're home?
The rainbow was still awake when it heard the sound of a car horn several times. The woman peeked out of the window. A white car that he believes is the husband's car.
“Why do the Clouds honk the car horn? instead of the fence in this house use remote, yes?”
Though in the mind wondering, but Rainbow immediately came down to open the big gate. A cloud's car entered the courtyard.
Rainbow eyes widened when he saw that came down from the car was not her husband, but Zidan, her sister.
“Zidan? You?” The sound of the rainbow was shaking. How was the Awan car Zidan? But they are not so close.
Zidan was silent for a while looking at his brother who was still using his face. Rainbow eyes that look damp make the young man feel increasingly crowded.
“Suami Sister!” he said pointing to the car.
The rainbow felt his body bristling at that very instant. Her mind was able to guess that her husband was drunk. And now his sister has known what he's been trying to cover up since yesterday.

The sturdy body of Clouds lay on the bed after Zidan and Rainbow took her with great difficulty from the lower floor. The man was unconscious due to the influence of liquor.
Zidan raised a demanding look at his brother, Rainbow's head instantly bowed in shame.
Yesterday when he met in Self-service, Zidan asked if he was happy with Awan, considering they were married because of an arranged marriage. However, Rainbow asserted his sister's question with confidence.
“Why did you lie yesterday? What kind of happiness do you get from a husband like him? Nothing, Brother!”
