After a series of things that happened in his household with Rika, Danu and his second wife were finally officially divorced.
Although Rika initially refuses and continues to beg him to defend their household, especially about Raffi. Danu remained firm on his decision.
The man was not even present during the first and second trial divorce trial, Danu was only present when the reading of the talaq pledge was carried out.
Rika is forced to leave the house and is not allowed to meet with Raffi despite his plea to Danu.
When he came back, the house looked so quiet even so with the residence of his in-laws.
In the end, Rika can only accept everything.

The news began to spread, even the mass media were involved. Company shares plummeted, although just over two months Danu was able to handle it. For two months, Danu was like a robot. Working day and night. Until lack of sleep. It looks like a living corpse. Dark circles under his eyes, his body getting thinner, the fine fur that adorned the jaw because the owner did not shave it.
Danu's personal assistant walked into the room.
“Sorry I entered without permission, sir. From earlier I knocked, but I did not answer, I think something happened.”
Danu straightened his back.
“Sorry, I didn't hear. No problem, Fen. You have long been my assistant, something like this will not make me angry.” Danu said trying to force a smile.
Fenny—his personal assistant– sighed.
“Until when will you be like this?”
“Means?”
“Pak, maybe I am a little presumptuous and disrespectful to say this, but I am concerned about your condition. Your body is not a robot, so please take a break. I brought food for you and I want, you eat it now.”
Danu chuckled at Fenny's facial expression as well as his firm manner of speaking. No wonder so much work is done quickly and accurately.
“It feels like a long time ago I didn't hear your nagging, it can even be said I missed this nagging.”
Danu turned her chair towards the large window behind her. He stared at the scene in front of him.
“Had been the same, always protest if I work until I forget the time.” Danu said in a soft voice.
“Mas, eat first.”
“Mas, be careful not to drink most coffee. Later stomach acid kumat.”
“Mas, do not work like a robot. You also need rest.”
Such is the nagging every time that Danu heard from Ayu.
Fenny knew who his superior meant. Even though Danu had her back, she knew very well that the boss was very sad.
The boss turned the chair facing back towards him. Looked at him with a shady look.
“Thank you, you've still survived this long. In my condition and the company that had experienced a decline.” Danu said sincerely.
“It has become my duty, so ... There is no reason to skip lunch, because if you hope to divert the conversation. Then it won't happen.”
Danu laughed at Fenny's last words.
“Alright, I'll eat.”
...***...
It's been a week that Danu hasn't been home. Only Bi Ijah and some workers are there, maybe soon he will sell the house because the whole corner of the house reminds Danu of the figure of Ayu. All the good memories with his wife.
Every time you return from the office, Ayu who first until will prepare all the needs of Danu. Welcomed her with a smile at the door. Kiss her hand and bring her bag. Without a hint of complaining tired, but Ayu herself was busy working.
Danu entered his house, the bag that was in his hand had already changed into Bi Ijah's hand.
“I have prepared hot water, Mr.”
Danu simply replied with a nod of his head. Removing the tie wrapped around his neck. Then dropped himself on the couch of the cushioned living room. He rubbed his face slowly, his eyes sweeping across the room.
This house used to be filled with laughter and happiness, but now it looks so quiet. He got up, with shaky steps leading to his room, the room he and Ayu used to occupy.
Since the marriage with Ayu failed, it had been a long time since she had entered this room. Slowly now his feet stepped in, his eyes watching every inch of the corner of the room that used to be a place to unwind, doing beautiful things with Ayu.
Spend a wonderful night with Ayu. Tell each other about the activities of the day they passed.
“Mas, water I've prepared. You shower first yes.”
“Mas, eat first.”
“Mas, you must be tired. Here I massage.”
All are memories, evaporating like morning dew in the sun.
Danu wiped the corners of her eyes that felt wet.
“Mas, Ayu kangen.”
His wife used to say that, but she only thought of it as a joke. I feel that a little excessive.
Imagining Ayu spending a cold night in this room alone makes Danu nervous.
His heart ached again when he remembered his wife's gaze, there was a disappointed and sad look when Danu accused him of cheating.
“But I didn't do it. I beg you to believe me.”
But an angry Danu doesn't want to know all that. Not believing his wife's words, only Rika's words he heard. But Ayu is the one who was actually hurt.
“Akh, stupid, stupid!”
Collapse is already his defense. Danu wept, and was wrathful over his folly that had misjudged the figure of his own wife first.
“I'm really stupid! I'm sorry, sorry ...” he said in a soft voice
