"I want to dress Muslim, Mum."
Jun furrowed his brows.
"I want to change all my clothes because I want to dress covered, Mas. What can?"
The man is in a dilemma. If he doesn't agree to it, it will be a problem. He needs an apology from Khati, but if his wife is dressed in Muslim clothes, what will be the problem with Damar? Did Damar not suspect anything? "May but ...."
The woman's eyes were fleshy with a wide smile. "But ...." She repeated her husband's words out of curiosity.
"Can't wear a hijab."
"What's? How so," said the woman scowled.
"You or not? You can change all your clothes with covered clothes," said the man a little expensive selling.
"Yes already." Still with a frowning face, the woman agreed.
Jun glanced at his wife's face that was starting to brighten. Surely it does not matter if Khati veiled again, but the mission has not been completed. He felt that it was still not enough to torture Damar with his broken heart. He now wants to send the man to prison for taking the lives of both his wife and ex-wife. He was very sure, even if Damar wasn't the killer, he would know who killed his wife.
"Then, finish your dinner. You can start shopping tomorrow." Jun twisted his body to leave the room.
"Thank you, Mas" replied Khati timidly.
The man twisted his body back, with a hint of hesitation. "Didn't you want to give me a present?"
"Gift?"
"A kiss."
Khati. Back the man felt himself greedy. He turned his body and left.
"Mas." The woman was chasing her husband. When the man turned his head, a kiss landed on the man's cheek.
"Thank you."
Jun tried to control himself. There is a part of him that wants to take his wife away to a place far away from the people they know and start a new life, but part of him asks himself to be sane and solve problems. He himself was beginning to get caught off guard by all the falsehoods that surrounded them, just like Khati.
The man rubbed his wife's head gently and pulled it by pecking it on the forehead. "Night, dear."
"Night, Mas."
---------+++---------
That morning, Jun got out early. He finished breakfast when Khati came down.
"Will you leave quickly? Uh this, the car keys were yesterday." The woman tidied up the collar of her husband's shirt while handing over the keys to the car that her husband was carrying last night.
"No, Honey. I gave the car to you. Yes, I have a lot of work today. I'll finish the work that was delayed yesterday and there's another new job that I need to take care of."
Khati was forced to pocket the keys to the car. "Yes, already. Just be careful on the road."
"Mmhmd. Oya, don't go anywhere, honey. Wait for me to come home. I'll accompany you shopping."
"'Will I go to gymnastics?"
"You're off gymnastics first for a few days."
"Why?" Kati started to take her food.
"We're going to do a pull. You don't have to lure him anymore."
"meaning?" The wife did not understand.
"Let's tell me when I get back, okay?" said the man in a hurry.
---------+++--------
Jun kept his promise to go home. He came home just at lunch time. Therefore, he took the time to eat at home because it happened to be the cook Khati, with a menu of memories of their time in Singapore. Fried chicken, vegetable kale and fried sambal. The man ate a lot. That was when Jun told her the meaning.
"So, you don't have to lure him anymore. He's already 'biting' the bait. Right now you're not going anywhere because he's looking for you."
"ignored."
"Including sending messages?"
"If you want to write, then go ahead. Just tell me, you are forbidden to answer by your husband."
"If he's pressing?"
"ignored."
"But he hasn't called me before, Mas."
"Trust me, he must have called you. Maybe he's waiting for the right time."
The woman fell silent. He's not too sure. Because he doesn't remember what happened yesterday. All she remembers is that she was with Damar, but why did she end up in bed with her husband? He did not remember what happened but he remembered he had drunk alcoholic beverages that he should not have drank. She had tried to check the contents of yesterday's recording but it had been deleted by her husband.
"Mas, yesterday, what happened? I don't remember anything but drinking and waking up with a dizzy head."
From the movement of his eyes, the husband seemed reluctant to tell what happened. "Why do you drink, don't you know you can't drink that illicit drink?"
The woman bowed. "I was disappointed, I forgot what I was drinking."
Jun could not bear to see his wife sad anymore. "I told you who Damar is but you don't believe."
Khati glanced at her husband. Although there are many things that she does not like about her husband, but she can now see the purpose of the husband so that he is aware of who he really used to lean on. Damar only used his wealth from the beginning, but Khati knew that he did not love him wholeheartedly.
Another with Jun. The woman is still confused as to why this man risked his life to solve the case, even his own position at stake. Did Jun really help her sincerely? "Yes, Mom, but what exactly is going on?"
"The room takes you to his room."
Khati surprised. "really?"
"That's why I don't want you out first. It's a good thing that the bodyguard is following you, so I can save you."
"The one who saved me?" ask the woman not to believe. His eyes are perfectly round.
"Yes," muttered Jun. "Eh, this sambel is delicious too. I added the chicken, huh?"
I stared at the man. Jun definitely did not want to continue the conversation, because they ended up fighting when they had just made up. Therefore, the woman did not ask again about the incident last night.
---------+++--------
Khati is very happy. This time she was shopping for clothes with her husband and she enjoyed it. For the game, the man does not like the usual model gamis. He chose some gamis from the Indian sari material.
"Mas, this is too much decoration. Why not buy a regular model?" ask Khati when looking in the mirror.
"Many of the models are like parents, I don't like. If this one, you don't have to make up thick, it's beautiful as it is."
The woman blushed hearing it. This guy .. I don't know. From the beginning, there were many things that the man had hidden from him. Of course this woman can feel it.
But looking at the man's life he spent to solve this problem, it felt that Khati could not underestimate him. Therefore, the woman is determined to solve the case as soon as possible in order for the man to be free of her. Indeed, this man is the place to lean now, even though as a human being he is not perfect.
They moved to several shops. Once satisfied, they rest in a cafe.
"Yes, honey, buy it. Today until here first. We'll shop again tomorrow. It's already full of my hands carrying all these groceries," Jun lamented to his wife. He glanced at the neatly arranged pile of groceries on the side chair.
"Tomorrow, I can do my own shopping, too."
"No, you can't! We need to get Damar pinned down. We have to make him furious that he can't meet you" Jun said firmly.
He just kept quiet listening to the husband's ban. He cut the cake in front of him and bribed him. The man was also busy sipping warm tea.
From far away someone was lurking at them. The man fixed his glasses. He had been trailing the two since entering several clothing stores upstairs earlier.
