Reaching Surgaku
Invitation of In-laws
Dr... Dr... Dr...
Alma's phone rang the sign of an incoming call from mama elma listed on her cellphone screen, hurriedly alma lifted her for fear that something was happening, understandably not usually her mother-in-law contacted her like that. Usually his mother-in-law will call through her son just talking to him but somehow this time is different from usual, the mother-in-law contacted her herself not through the son just wayangnya.
" Ma Assalamallaikum?" Say hello when the phone call is connected.
" Loved walaikumsalam." a reply from across.
" Dear tomorrow come to mama's house ya mama wait." Elma's orders are like indisputable.
" Yes ma, later alma convey to mas el?!" Alma could only accept her mother-in-law's invitation.
" Are you no longer the same as you?" Ask her mother to investigate.
" Emm... Mas el is out ma might be coming home soon?!" Alma can only cover her husband's behavior, however she does not want outsiders to know how the real household.
" Oh. jeez, if that's the heart at home, baby." Elma ended her phone call.
Alma felt lonely again when the phone was turned off by her mother-in-law, Today is the same as the day usually nothing special for her. Alma just spent her time to clean the rest of the apartment she used to back harden her mushaf.

While in other places it looks like el and sandra are no longer fighting, it seems like their relationship has returned well, sandra who looks like she can accept the explanation given by el.
Different from the two who look happy, Alma actually felt sadness and silence in her heart. Every day he always passed with tears, not a day he passed without tears streaming from his beautiful face. After she finished her mushaf, alma took her mobile phone intending to inform el prihal of her mother who asked the two of them to pay a visit to the main mansion.
Alma tries to send a short message to el hoping that her husband returns the favor.
" Mommy just called saying that tomorrow we're going to be sent to my mom's house." He wrote it in a short message he sent to El.

Time has shown ten o'clock at night but el has not yet gone home to whatever he did out there with sandra, without giving the slightest word to alma.
Although el told alma not to wait but in fact, alma still waited for him. Alma waited for the return of el in front of the television while watching the random show that was broadcast, he did not really pay attention to the television show he only used the television as a quiet repellent tool, he was not right to pay attention to the television show, she hopes her husband will be home soon. The clock kept spinning in wait not to go home either how many times alma yawned because tired until finally alma fell asleep on the long sofa in front of the television while hugging the remote in her arms.
The clock shows at one in the morning, when el came home and saw the television that was still on but Alma had fallen asleep in front of him.
El approached to see if Alma was really asleep. He saw the face of the woman on the one who was asleep in front of him. Absorbable guilt on him because however he had done evil to the woman in front of him but want how else, el did not expect the presence of alma in his life.
El patted alma's shoulder gently to wake her from her sleep, slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she was already in front of her eyes.
" Have you gone home? Sorry alma overslept mas." He said as he staggered trying to wake up when his life had not been fully collected.
" Hmm." el just hit back.
" Wait a minute Mas, Alma will heat the vegetables."
" No need, I've eaten."
" Go sleep in the room." El said this and went into his room.
Alma could only watch as el's back from behind slowly went away from her. Though alma held her stomach hungry because waiting for her husband to come home to eat together, but who would have thought el had eaten somewhere and with whom. El did not even care at all about alma who had eaten at that time or not.
