It has been a week father in Singapore, until now has not returned home. There were no contact at all these two days.
I held my phone while sitting in the back garden.
Drrrtt.
I saw the call from Sofwan. "Assalamualaikum.yes, hello mas..."
"Greetings waalaikum..How are you and the children, deck?"
"Thank God we're here well, ma'am."
"Dek...can we run out of Maghrib with the children? mas want to invite you to the newly inaugurated rides."
"Try Sofwan's phone again, I ask the kids first, do they want to go tonight?"
"Sir..."
"Hmmm..iya, why mas?"
"It's so bad for you and the kids..."
"Mas may miss the children, but not with me.because between us there is a longing."
"Mas Sofwan doesn't care, deck.no one can forbid you miss me."
"Bas stubborn.." I said!!
"Because it used to divorce you out of consciousness, mas.not out of your own will."
"When will you realize that we are separated? we can't be together anymore."
"Until the mas can take back the property of the mas that has been forcibly snatched from the side of Sofwan mas."
"Kids.bapak invites you to the newly inaugurated rides, you know..you want to not?"
And they compactly replied, "want to..."
"You guys wait 7pm yeah.then pick up the four of you."
All three of my children were like hot worms, cheering with joy. So their spirit when they heard wanted to be invited out by his father.

"Where does Anggita go? how come you can come out and take me and the kids?"
"Ayesha and Ayesha returned to Yogya...Angga's sister Anggita want fiancee.maybe on Saturday if there are no obstacles, mas will catch up with them."
"Sir, there's something I want to ask you.but don't take it personally, huh?"
"What's that about, mom?"
"Look this deck..." Sofwan looked at me before he started his conversation.
"You and Miko have a problem?" of course I was surprised to hear Sofwan say that.
"Why..What's the matter, mom?"
"Thank God if you're okay."
"But I'm not doing well, my nine years together, so I know that Sofwan is hiding something from me."
I understand very well the character of my ex-husband, if he starts hanging his words.
"It's no longer a matter of mas deck, you already have your own family and mas also so."
I was silent to hear it, weren't those words I used to say to her?
"Huffttt.. Actually I want to ask you something, dek...but you don't get angry, huh?
"Feelings from earlier words mas this muter-muter just like a comedy swivel, not met the end."
"Mas is just afraid you're angry and offended deck, that's all."
"But if you just shut up, I feel sorry for you and the kids."
He took a deep breath before starting his conversation.
"Sir, I want to invite you and the kids out this is actually not just a walk, but there are important things that you want to ask."
"It's related to Miko, deck!!!"
"Yesterday the mas came home from the airport to take Anggita and Aisyah!!! on the way home, the mas saw Miko with a woman is still young about less than 25 years."
"They both got off the airport taxi, stopped at a hotel on Sudirman Street."
"At first I thought Sofwan's eyes were agile and wrong."
"Because of curiosity finally stop to make sure..after they both chek-in and enter the room, the mas asked the same receptionist."
"Miko's name is Jatmiko Sarendra right?" i'm nodding.
"It turns out the eyes are still normal, the woman was named Alena said the receptionist was his wife Miko earlier."
"Because at the hotel it's like if not husband and wife can't menggamar deh.they do husband and wife and show their wedding photos."
Suddenly my knees felt weak to hear Sofwan's words. Indeed during these two days, father could not be contacted at all.
I leaned against the tree where we waited for the children to play.
I don't know why what Sofwan said just now, I think there's a point. Because what I know is that Sofwan never told a lie.
"You ain't nothing, deck? you have no need to take care of his words, mas.maybe someone else who happens to have a similar name with Miko."
"Yuk we come to the children.pity from earlier they own toys."
Mas Sofwan held my hand tightly, as if to give his protection to me.
"Mas...if tomorrow my husband has not come home and can not be called as well, will you take me to the hotel that was seen yesterday?"
"Do you want to go there, deck?"
"I just want to make sure."
"OK.besok afternoon after work bring you there."
I don't focus on the kids playing. I just sat looking at them and Sofwan laughed happily with the kids.

What Sofwan saw was not wrong. That's right Miko and Alena. Miko while staying there while he found a contract for Alena.
"Why I'm guilty of it, I deliberately turned off my phone so I can't be contacted. Because I don't know what to say!!!"
"Besok brother wants to go home yes Alena, pity brother's wife at home...You stay in this hotel for a while, until you can rent a house for you."
"Bang..not only brother Nia who is brother's wife, Alena now also has become brother's wife."
I choked and swallowed my saliva to hear Alena's words. Yes, I forgot...Alena is also my wife now, even from a marriage I don't want at all.
"Bang...why was Alena not invited to stay with her brother? tell me to be honest that Alena is Leon's uncle's son."
"This is Indonesia bang, Alena is afraid to live in a foreign place alone without a brother."
I was silent to Alena's words. Actually what he said has a point as well. He is now alone, I have brought him here which means I must be ready to take care of him.
But what am I supposed to tell my wife at home? there's no way I'm going to keep covering up this lie.
"What should I do, O Allah.." I rubbed my face harshly.
I saw Alena was asleep in bed. While me? I haven't been able to sleep well for a few nights.I've always been in a nightmare.
And I also have to go in to work again. There's no way I'm leaving Alena alone.Will I take her home?
