Sincerity Love Aluna
Chapter 8

In the morning, it was breakfast. Aluna and Iskhandar did not greet each other, because the man would be silent if his wife did not invite him to speak. Every now and then, Aluna steals a glance, hesitating to ask permission. He was going to see his sister, but he was confused as to what kind of reason. He could not have said that he would borrow money from his family.

For a moment, Aluna took a deep breath. Prepare to ask permission. What's more, her husband used to say that he did not want his wife's family to interfere in his household affairs, if until her husband knew his purpose could Iskhandar angry what else about the issue of money. From the beginning she knew that her husband was very sensitive about her who did not have it, why he did it because he did not want to discuss the financial problems of his household.

Iskhandar glanced at his wife, like there was something the girl wanted to say to him. Without further ado, he immediately asked. "What's wrong? Why do you look so nervous?"

Aluna looked up and answered. "Can I go for a minute?"

"Where?"

"To the house, there are some items left behind. I have to take it" replied Aluna.

"Go away, does anyone forbid? Just one you shouldn't say, I don't like it when you discuss our problems in this house." Iskhandar just wants to live a quiet life, married to Aluna makes him feel he has problems, what else with a marriage that is not at all wanted by him. If it were not for helping the citizens who lived in the flats he would not have married the girl who had met from the beginning had made trouble with him.

Aluna's face sparkled, she smiled sumringah. "Thank you, I promise I'll be home before you get home."

Aluna met her sister at work, a boutique run by her sister. Actually, the boutique was originally owned by Aluna, because often sickly made her father not allow her to work anymore. All the employees greeted him when he arrived. And an employee there shouted to Bella.

"Bella ... Your brother's coming." The employee was Bella's assistant, why yell because they were close enough.

"Sister," call Bella. The sister approached and scattered her body to hug. Bella saw her sister from the tip of her foot to the tip of her head. "Son, how are you? Why do we rarely contact? Brother's fine, isn't he? Brother's happy, isn't he?" the question made Aluna smile bitterly.

"Of course you're happy, so you forgot to call you. Forgive me, brother" he replied.

"Look, we're talking inside," he asked his sister. "Lussia, you handle all the customers first" he shouted at the assistant. It just so happens that the boutique is crowded.

Bella led her sister into the room, how much she missed her brother. "Really, I miss you so much" said Bella who is now sitting opposite Aluna. "Is there anything I can help you with?" tanynya.

"You must be busy sorry to disturb me, my arrival here actually wants help" said Aluna.

"What's? What am I supposed to do?"

"There's nothing you have to do, I just want to borrow money." Aluna felt ashamed, when she had a family still troublesome family.

For a moment, Bella fell silent and looked at the face of the older sister. "Is there a problem?"

Aluna shook her head in response.

"My medicine's gone, and my husband hasn't paid. I just borrowed it, once my husband has the money I'll replace it immediately." Aluna could not say that her husband only gave money for the kitchen, she did not want to make her sister worried.

"Son't lie to me, is he? There's nothing you're hiding from me?" Bella is unsure of her brother's happy household.

Bella took an envelope from the drawer and gave the envelope with the money to her sister. "Stock the medicine if necessary, I don't want you to be late for the medicine. Brother must stay healthy, you're my only brother." Bella hugged Aluna very tightly, she held back her tears that would come out.

"Thank you, I promise I'll replace it."

"That's your money, it doesn't need replacing."

"Thank you, don't tell this to me. I don't want him to worry."

Bella nodded. And Aluna was saying goodbye because she had to go to the pharmacy to make up for the medicine.

***

On the street facing the pharmacy. Aluna saw her husband there. Again her husband with the girl yesterday, they look very close even Iskhandar looks attentive. Being in the pharmacy of course they are buying drugs. Aluna thought the medicine was definitely for her lover.

Her chest feels so tight. Without excuse her tears just fell, for the first time she shed tears. In a few moments, Iskhandar and the girl had already left the pharmacy. He immediately went to the pharmacy. He gave an empty bottle to the employees there. Without employees asking what medicine it is they already know.

"Thank you" Aluna said after receiving the medicine.

Now he went home on foot, because the location of the pharmacy is not too far from the bunk house occupied by him. It's almost an hour on its way.

"Where is my house? Why can't I find my house?" Suddenly Aluna forgot her way home, she kept going back and forth on the same road. His eyes kept turning around looking around the road. He had just walked down that road, but why was he there again?

"What right is left?" Aluna pointed to the T-junction, confused as to which way to go? Both have been tried but the results are nil, still he returned at the intersection point. Aluna touched her head which felt heavy, she hoped that it would still be strong to continue the journey.

Even when it was getting dark, she could not be late she had to quickly return home before her husband. And finally, he found a bright spot. He recognized one of the road users, and he followed the man. Sometimes, his memory is partially erased. Luckily he was able to recognize one of the occupants of the flats that he often saw in the morning.

Aluna breathed a sigh of relief, finally reaching her husband's house. He quickly entered, but the dear Iskhandar first arrived and he was holding his hands in his chest.

"If you do not want to stay in this house just go and do not return" said Iskhandar. "This house is not as comfortable as your house, if it is still at home in your luxurious house why should you go home?"

"Sorry, I'm late. I didn't mean to."

"How many times have I heard your apologies? You make mistakes often!"

"I promise I won't do it again."

"Keep promising until that promise you deny yourself." Iskhandar left his wife who was still in the doorway.

Aluna echo* the crackle bag she was holding, then walked in slowly.
