Iis ran to leave Juan and then got into his car, in the car Iis crying so much. Jeez his mouth really can't be cooperated with. Why he answers maybe, answer no. Iis doesn't want a divorce, gosh why she's answering maybe.
Iis cries broke, Iis crazy in the car, pounded the steering wheel many times like crazy. Iis screams and cries completely filled the car. Her crying was completely unstoppable. Many times Iis called out Juan's name, until his voice was hoarse. Crying has really been her best friend for a month.
“MAAF MAS... SORRY...!!!” yelled repeatedly.
Iis completely lost control, her crying really-sounds bitterly. I'm lamenting why he foolishly said maybe.
Zrtt.... Zrttzzz....
Iis took a deep breath then took a tissue on the dashboard of the car, draped in tears that inexplicably like never barren for a month.
“Halo,” Iis struggled to stabilize her voice intonation, she didn't want anyone to know she was hysterical.
“Bu Lizbet, sorry Mom so to my place?” ask for a sweet voice on the phone.
“Ah, Bu Windu,” Iis directly see the clock in his hand, “so, Mom. But, I am late?”
“Ah... it's okay, this is Chiko just as graceful as it is also not bathing,” said Windu.
“Ah... yes later I went there, all I met with Chikonya, this is the first time we met well, Bu.” said Iis.
“Iya, I wait well,” said Bu Windu.
“Mari Bu,” said Iis hung up her phone and took her make up pouch, her make up had to be allowed, Iis struggling to cover her puffy eyes.

It's been two hours in Windu's house, the mother has a child with special ADHD and cerebal palsy. Iis really gave a thumbs up to Windu. Iis himself may not be able to be given a child like Chiko and Anggun, but Bu Windu really enjoy the time together Anggun and Chiko.
“Next week Bu Lizbet is here again ‘kan?” asked Windu while hugging Chiko, her son who has Palsy.
“It is, would like to meet Chiko same Anggun also ‘kan,” said Iis while patting the feet of Anggun who was fiddling with rubik cube which is all black.
“Ah, only now do I see Chiko going silent. Maybe muter, although at first I thought that Bu Lizbet was scolding Chiko, but not. Sorry well at first I thought Bu Lizbet was fierce,”, Windu said with an apologetic smile.
“Hahahaa... it's okay, it's normal,” said Iis while drinking his tea.
“Bu Iis already married? Kayana if Bu Iis has children, her child will be cool,” said Windu.
“Ohok... ohok..how is Bu?” ask Iis.
“Aduh Bu, slow down,” said Windu panicked, “what question I was like Mom?”
“Ah no, I'm married, Mom. But I don't have a child yet. I'm sick, I can't have children,” Iis lies, better now everyone in the world knows her barren self is not Juan.
“Ah... sorry, my husband is also barren,” Windu said suddenly.
“Eh... continue..” Iis pointed at Anggun and Chiko involuntarily.
“This? They are children from the orphanage, I took from the orphanage from them babies, thankfully I got their rich great children,” Windu said with a sweet smile.
“Mother...take care?” ask Iis.
“Iya, I took from the parlor,” replied Windu.
Iis was completely speechless already, what was Windu's heart made of? How did she accept the fact that her husband could not have children, how could she put up with the ravings of society?
“Bu, sorry how do you feel when you know that your husband is barren?”
“First time tau, destroyed. Feeling, may never be a perfect woman, will not feel pregnant, giving birth, and breastfeeding.”
“....”
“Even my first month with my husband fighting continuously, the house is already like hell. Hell of the world, all the harsh words came out of both of our mouths. Ego, Ego really makes us defend each other's arguments. Until one point I want to divorce my husband,” said Windu while rubbing Anggun.
“Mother divorced?” ask Iis.
“Ngak, fortunately. Fortunately I am not divorced, luckily I am aware.”.
“What's the realization?”
“Because I love my husband, wherever I go, wherever I run. My husband is going after me and I realize that I have to forgive my husband, he is all I have, he is always there and he is the one who always embraces me when I am in any condition, Yes Bu Lizbet, I love my Husband. My husband is home,” Windu said as he touched Iis' hand.
“Bu...”.
“Bu Lizbet try I want to ask, who is always there beside Mom when sad?”
“Mas Juan,” replied Iis spontaneously, Iis really does not care if this client knows her husband's name.
“Who is always there beside Mom when Mom is having trouble?”
“Mas Juan.”
“Mas Juan,” isak Iis suddenly.
“Who has always wanted to spend his life with Mom?”
“Mas Juan.”
“Who always defends Mom, when no one in your neighborhood wants to defend Mom?”
“Mas Juan.”
“Who always comes back looking for a Mom as strong as anything you hide and run?” windu asked, Windu really felt Iis needed something to make her realize that she loved her husband.
“Mas Juan.”
“Last, who did you love until Mom was willing to spend your life together with herself?” asked Windu while looking at Iis.
Iis looked at Windu with teary eyes, her whole new life now she was this sad.
“Bu Lizbet, Who?”
“Mas Juan, my God Bu Windu, I have to go home, I have to go home to my husband. I have to go home to my husband,” isak Iis while cleaning the equipment quickly.
“Come home Mom, Mas Juan waiting,” replied Bu Windu with a smile.
“Iya..”

Iis got into his car and then looked for his phone to call Juan, he had to meet Juan. He needs Juan.
“Mas...”.
“Iis, this is Mamih, Nak.”
“Mas Juan where is Mih? Mas Juan at Mamih's house?” ask Iis quickly.
“Ngak, Son. Juan was willing to go to the apartment, his cellphone was left at Mamih's house. Where are you going?”
“I want to go home Mih, I want to go home to Juan's apartment, I want to go home,” Iis said with a happy smile.
“Ah... Iis love you want..”.
“Juan Iis husband with all his shortcomings and advantages Mih,” replied Iis.
“Ah, yes already cepet you to Juan, cepet Iis,” said Mamih happy.
“Iya, Mih..”
Iis instantly turned off the screen of her phone, her eyes were rounded when she saw the remimder on her phone. Day is a special day for him and Juan. Why could he forget, it seemed like he had to buy something first, before going to Juan's place.
Iis smiled as she drove her car through the Jakarta traffic jam. Suddenly the radio in his car played a song that made Iis increasingly want to quickly meet with Juan. Meet with his house.
I wish I knew where I was
'Cause I don't have a clue
I just need to work out some way of getting me to you
'Cause I will never find love like our out here
In a million years
A million years
My location unknown
Tryna find a way back home
To you again
I gota get back to you
Gotta, gotta get back to you
(Location Unknown-Honne)
“Mas, I'm home..”
