The Beginning of the Catastrophe
THE BEGINNING OF THE LIPSTICK PATCH OF BAB7

Aji bought to see Kirana unconscious. He hurried to pick his wife up and put her in bed. The man gently rubbed Kirana's head, then clasped his fingers while saying an apology.

Aji took off her grip and opened the nightstand drawer to look for wind oil. However, he did not find that thing either. She immediately went to the dresser and went back to look for wind oil. Hearing Kirana's moaning, Aji turned his head and rushed over.

“Honey, you're okay? Sorry, Ma'am, huh? Mas didn't mean to make you like gini.”

Kirana is sitting. However, when her husband helped, she brushed him off. Then, the woman looked at the man sitting in front of her with eyes that had already condensed. His heart was squeezed strongly in light of the incident that had just happened in the restaurant. The sentence that was about to be spit out, was swallowed back into the stomach. Kirana clutches herself and then shakes. He sank his head between his chest and bent knees.

Aji panicked to see his wife crying. He got up from his seat and grabbed his hair. Then, scooping his face rough with a heavy sigh before returning to sit in front of Kirana. Slowly, his hands stretched out rubbing the wife's head. However, Kirana brushed it off rudely.

With eyes full of tears, Kirana tried to stare fixedly at the man in front of her. He braced himself to ask after all the evidence was in sight. However, the ringing sound of Aji's phone made him swallow again disappointed.

Aji hurriedly answered the call as soon as he saw the name on the screen. He walked over to the side of the window and stared into the backyard.

“What's up? Must now? Okay, I'm ready now. Book a plane ticket immediately.”

Aji closed the call and sighed heavily before turning her heels and approaching Kirana. He sat down in front of his wife and looked at her. His outstretched hand wiped the tears that had soaked Kirana's cheek, despite being rejected.

“Mas must go to the branch office in Surabaya, Yang. Suddenly there is a problem that must be dealt with immediately. Later we talk about this problem after Mas go home, yes?”

Seeing Kirana not answering, Aji again sighed heavily before moving to the closet and lowering the suitcase. Put one shirt at a time into the suitcase. However, her movements came to a halt for a moment when she saw Kirana eroding the distance and helping her. Aji smiled and was about to grab the wife's body in a hug, but Kirana avoided.

“I'll wait for an explanation from Mas.”

“Iya, The. Mas promise will explain everything after coming from the branch office later.”

Aji was about to pin a kiss on Kirana's forehead, but was again rejected. Kirana dodged and stared from a distance until the husband got into the car. She leaned against the doorway while holding her back as the car she was riding in slowly moved away.

Kirana turned her heels and returned to the room. He stared blankly at the wedding photos that were on the nightstand. Then, bowed deeply and cried in silence. Not wanting to get too late in the grief, Kirana grabbed her wedding photo and put it on the nightstand.

“What reason do you want to say, Mas?”

Kirana wiped her tears before moving to the bathroom. He filled the bathtub with warm water, poured sea salt, and lit the therapeutic scent candle. Afterwards, the woman soaked while closing her eyes. Forgetting for a moment the problems that come and pamper yourself is the right choice.

“Mama now only has you, Honey. We have to be strong to face everything. Mama will fight for you.”

Thirty minutes later, Kirana ends her soaking. He rinsed the body before putting on a kimono towel and stepped into the room. Then, open the phone and read all the short messages that came in. She smiled as she read the message Amelia had sent.

Kirana immediately pressed the number of the friend, but until the last ring, her call had not yet been lifted. The woman frowned and flicked her shoulders before putting the phone back into the nightstand. Kirana immediately changed clothes and stepped towards the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and shook for a moment.

“It turns out the food also runs out.” Kirana monologued, then lowered her head and rubbed her stomach. “Should we shop now, Honey?”

Kirana nodded at a glance before closing the refrigerator and returning to the room. He snatched the car keys and sling bag before moving to the garage. Slowly, he drove the car towards one of the shopping centers. After parking the car, Kirana headed to the booth all the needs of the house.

For two hours, Kirana went around buying all the kitchen necessities. He chose some vegetables, fruit, and animal protein to fill the refrigerator at home. While passing through the shelf displaying pregnant milk, she flinched for a moment.

Kirana smiled faintly before taking one of the milk with chocolate flavor.

Tired of spinning around looking for home necessities, Kirana decides to sit in front of a fast food booth. He circulated a glance before reaching into the phone and checking it. One long breath escaped the woman's mouth at the sight of a cell phone. His heart throbbed because since the departure of the husband, not a single message from him had entered.

Usually Aji will faithfully send a short message that makes Kirana feel there. Although a simple sentence, but he felt noticed. Stupidly Kirana just realized that. Kirana looked down deeply, trying to neutralize the ripples in her heart by taking a deep breath and exhaling them slowly. Then, look back and smile. Afterwards, Kirana got up and took her groceries to the parking lot.

After putting in all the groceries, Kirana drove her car slowly. The tightness of the streets makes the woman have to endure patience. He circulated his gaze and was surprised to see the car Amelia usually wore. Kirana smiled and wanted to follow her best friend.

Twenty minutes away from the crowded streets, Kirana tailed Amelia's car. A smile still rose in the woman's mouth. However, upon seeing Amelia stop in front of a toy store, Kirana frowned. His head was already filled with questions, but he decided to wait in the car. After seeing Amelia get out of the toy store while reviewing her smile and getting back in her car, Kirana followed her again.

The curiosity grew when Amelia entered the Astana housing complex. Kirana frowned in surprise, but continued to drive her car following her best friend. When she saw Amelia stop and get out of the car in front of one of the houses, Kirana's feelings raged. Suddenly the woman's head throbbed pain. He closed his eyes for a moment to reduce the tension.

Kirana opened her eyes and let out a long sigh before deciding to get out of the car. Curiosity filled the cranium, making him slowly step closer to the house. The number of cars parked, hinting that there was an ongoing event in the house.

Kirana stepped in and flinched for a moment reading the writing attached to the entrance. His heart was back in pain. He closed his eyes for a moment before stepping back inside. A carefree laugh was immediately heard as Kirana stepped more and more into the house. His heart was pounding as the steps got closer to the source of the sound. Then, he was shocked when he saw what was going on in front of him.

“So this is your behavior behind me?”
