The Part 76

After work, Novia saw no sign of her husband coming home. The woman was sitting on the edge of the bed contemplating but, yet, had not found an answer to where her husband was.

Novia got up and walked to the closet to take clean clothes from the closet, Novia changed her work clothes with home clothes to make it more comfortable.

When Novia came out of the room to see her mother who had just come out of their room, "Come, lunch with papa is waiting in the dining room."

They walked hand in hand into the room, it seemed that Mr. Revelation was already there with his two grandchildren.

Madam Ratih threw a smile and walked over to her grandson Adiba who was sitting next to her grandfather.

"This granddaughter has been waiting for a long time, hasn't she?" ask Mrs Ratih.

"Yes" he answered briefly.

Novia just smiled faintly at her son's answer, then she pulled the chair and sat down and took a plate filling the food and thrusting at her son.

Mrs Ratih observed every movement of Novia, it seemed she was just busy picking up food for her children and it was seen that she was not in the mood to eat.

"You didn't eat Vi?" ask Mrs Ratih.

"Still full mah, earlier Ms Ratna brought food to school there is a celebration in her house," replied Novia.

Mrs Ratih rounded her lips without making a sound, then she took food for her husband.

After eating and cleaning the dining table, Novia invited her children into the room. The routine he did every day used his son to take a nap.

In the afternoon Novia and her children woke up, but they were still at home in the room and did not want to go out. Camillah suddenly jumped when she heard the roar of the car engine outside.

"Well, that's the sound of papa's car" he said excitedly and then ran out to greet his father.

Novia stayed in the room, reluctant and lazy to go out to see her husband she chose to go into the bathroom to bathe her two children.

From inside the bathroom, Novia faintly heard the sound of the door opening and also the laughter of Camillah.

Novia continued her activity inside, bathing her son then she herself also took a bath.

A few minutes later, Novia came out wearing a bathrobe and walked to the closet.

Novia glanced at her husband who continued to observe the busyness of Novia taking care of her two children.

"It's fragrant, Diba invited the Emir deck to play the same tata outside," said Novia while opening the room door, the two boys ran out to meet their grandparents.

Camillah came out after her siblings left her parents in the room.

Novia turned her head towards her husband, looking Irwan sitting and leaning leisurely Novia approached but still standing in place facing her husband.

"Where from?" ask Novia.

"Sit down, Vi, let me explain" asked Irwan with a clear face.

"Just explain, don't ask me to sit I'm lazy to be close to you" replied Novia cynically

"Ehemm .., yesterday I drove passengers out of town and didn't have time to tell you" Irwan replied.

Highlights Novia's eyes peeked at her husband's face, it looks like Irwan's face is less convincing.

"I doubt your explanation, your face cannot deceive" said Novia.

Novia turned around, not answering or responding to her husband's remarks however, opting out of the room leaving Irwan inside.

Novia was already on the terrace, sitting looking straight ahead at the passing vehicle while making a plan.

"Don't think I'm Wan's fool, you just don't know me very well and I'll make sure to find your lies" he murmured softly.

Novia got up from her seat, went inside to prepare for the Maghrib prayer.

When entering the room, Novia found Irwan lying on the bed. Novia approached and patted hard on her husband's back, Irwan soared in shock and sat down lethargic.

"Heeyy .., it's good that you're sleeping this maghrib while the others are getting ready for prayer" growled Novia further upset by her husband's behavior.

"Yes, don't get angry I sleep with Vi" said Irwan as he got up and walked toward the bathroom.

Novia sighed violently, then took her prayer tools and immediately performed the worship.

Ten minutes later, Irwan finished with his bath and Novia was also finished praying.

Novia thrust the prayer mat and holster at her husband without saying a word, Irwan took it from Novia's hand and she prayed.

Novia sat behind her praying husband while observing in silence, somehow Novia lost faith in her husband.

Novia got up and went out of the room, walking towards the kitchen preparing dishes for dinner. As Adiba and Emir came to him, Novia turned and smiled.

"Mom's son, here kiss first" said Novia as she stroked the cheeks of her two children.

After getting a kiss from his mother, the two boys smiled and then ran back into the living room to meet his grandparents.

The dish was ready on the table, Novia called out to all the family members including Irwan.

After their dinner, Camillah went to bed with her grandparents.

Tonight Novia refused to sleep with her husband, Irwan dared not protest and let his wife sleep in the living room.

Before dawn Novia woke up, went into her room and cleaned up waiting for prayer. This morning she's gonna run her plan to find out about her husband.

After dawn prayers, Novia prepares her breakfast and the needs of her children as she only takes Camillah and picks her up later after her affairs are over.

Novia accidentally did not wake her husband, will take time she thought because she traveled quite a distance.

"Let's go, kid, let's go," he asked as he walked out.

On the porch Pak Wahyu and his wife were talking, Novia approached her parents and said goodbye and experienced it.

"We go first, let's salim Millah tata and ina." Camillah greeted her grandparents and followed her mother who was ready on the motorcycle.

Camillah got on the motorbike, then Novia drove her motorbike away from her parents' residence.

Arriving in front of the school Novia asked her son to go down, Camillah's face looked confused because she was not usually asked to go down in front of the gate.

"Millah go in first, mama has a business for a while" Novia said and answered Camillah's nod.

Camillah turns around and steps into the schoolyard, after her son disappears from Novia's sight and drives his motorcycle through the streets to where he's headed.

Forty-five minutes into Novia's journey, though tired she remains eagerly searching for someone to ask for information.

Novia stopped her bike, looking for the right position to lurk and look from a distance. Before long the person he was looking for appeared Novia rushed on the motorbike and approached the person.

Novia stopped right in front of Fahrul, the man scrunched his forehead when he saw Novia.

Novia got off her bike and stepped over to Fahrul, casually greeting Fahrul who still looked confused.

"Hi, how are you?" sofia Novia

"Well," Fahrul said with a cautious attitude.

"Can I talk to you for a second? there's something important I want to ask you.

Fahrul invites Novia to walk away from the place, both of them sitting under shady trees. Fahrul is still waiting for Novia to start a conversation.
