The Story Behind the Curtain
Episode 9

After breaking Erli's prejudice, Rafan passed away leaving his wife who was still glued to the side of the room. Erli felt very guilty towards her husband and when their pair of eyes met that awkward feeling was excruciating, Erli could not say a word whatsoever as well as Rafan.

At the same time they said an apology, but the words were not clearly heard by them. So they agreed to talk in turn and Erli asked her husband to express his heart first.

Not only Erli who felt his attitude this afternoon was not appropriate for him to do, Rafan also felt that way.

“I'm sorry! Not that I meant to do that and my words were too rude,” he said.

Erli lowered her head and replied to her husband's words, “I also apologize for all my behavior. I'm ... still not ready to do that. So forgive me, Mas!” he said with a hand that constantly twisted the sheets.

Sontak Rafan stared at the cute beautiful wife, “So you called me what?” Rafan put his ears close.

“Sorry if my remark makes you uncomfortable," Erli avoids eye contact with Rafan.

“Not be so formal with me! I am your husband, quickly repeat your words!” rafan commands with focused eye contact and does not blink.

Erli stroked his nape while glancing at the face of the husband.

“Come, quickly say again!” rafan Urge.

Erli let out a long sigh and prepared to speak, suddenly there was the sound of knocking on the door.

“Servis room ...” The villa staff out there.

“Astagfirullah .. just interrupt! After this you have to say it over and over again, okay!” rafan firmly moved from his place.

Erli nodded quickly, the girl never saw her husband's gentle demeanor. Every day he saw the man with a flat face and always serious, to the point that he thought he had no feelings or heart. However, in fact Rafan has another side that he never knew so far.

"I think you're hard-hearted, Mom. I'm sorry for being so bad." Erli laid his body on the bed.

Out there Rafan was chatting with Villa staff who were providing dinner, after finishing Rafan gave tips for the staff. Rushing he ran over to Erli, when he arrived in Rafan's room saw his wife had fallen asleep and it made him annoyed instead of playing.

“Yes Allah, my beautiful wife .. Why did you sleep at the wrong time, huh?” rafan's grumbling was full of annoyance.

Repeatedly he stared at his wife's natural face without make up, a very charming face. Rafan admired his wife's face like a moon of the night. Nose, lips, eyes and eyebrows all look perfect in Rafan's eyes, there is no blemish in Erli all look beautiful and charming.

“Lucky I have you. Remain a good woman, Say—” Rafan's speech stopped when he saw Erli's eyelids open.

“What do you do?" asked Erli with round eyes.

Rafan drowned avoiding Erli's sharp gaze and with his ragu he answered the wife's question.

"That's, I ...."

Erli's forehead shriveled and he repeated his question. However, this time Erli slightly raised his tone.

"What are you doing?"

“A-I just wanted to say that dinner is ready,” said Rafan nervously.

"Lantas, why are you so close to me?"

"You don't think anything! I saw mosquitoes on your cheeks and arms" said Rafan covering up the truth.

"Oh, you go first! I'll wash my face first." Erli walked slowly towards the bathroom.

Seeing his wife leave, Rafan hurriedly clasped Erli's wrist. Suddenly Erli was surprised and he looked at Rafan full of curiosity.

“What's up?” ask Erli lirih.

“Eh .. I want, you repeated the words I asked earlier!” rafan kalem.

“Which one?” Erli glanced in all directions.

Rafan takes Erli's hand off and he leaves his stupefied wife.

“Not even an hour, he had forgotten. So weak 'is his memory? It's hard to believe" Rafan grumbled.

Rafan's words were heard clearly by Erli who was standing right behind him.

Sorry, I'm, Mom! It's not that I don't remember. It's just ... I felt ashamed to repeat those words, Erli murmured in his heart.

Elsewhere and at other times. Marlita was sitting restlessly waiting for her foster sister at Sukarno Hatta airport.

"Where is lo? I'm tired of waiting here!" marlita protested with eyes that kept looking at the faces of passengers coming out of the airport.

All this time Marlita's arrival was always awaited and she never waited for anyone.

"The cave is soon. Just wait quietly, okay!" sahut Vina across the phone.

"Fifteen minutes. If in fifteen minutes you don't come, don't expect me to forgive you!" threaten Marlita with a blazing voice.

"Yes ... Uh, this I've seen lo. Try turning around nine o'clock!" vina's orders, the girl waved her hand.

Marlita put her cell phone in and ran over to her foster sister.

“Capek I really nunggin lo,” complained Marlita with a hand that patted the left shoulder Vina.

The girl stroked her hot, itchy shoulders.

“Sick, yes?” Marlita looked at Vina's face with a full look.

"Who, you think?" vina said with a shrunken nose.

"Gue hungry, treat cave dong ...." Vina raised both her eyebrows.

"From then until now, your hobby is still the same," hardik Marlita with his trademark voice.

Vina laughs while hugging Marlita's arm, their conversation going on while walking towards Marlita's car. The girl did not take Vina to her house, but rather she took her foster sister to the apartment she had not occupied for a long time.

“Hosts like this are not used? Very painful,” said Vina with eyes that glanced at Marlita.

“What lo? Don't pump me! You know, if I can't sleep alone.” Marlita defended herself.

Vina embraced the affection of her foster sister and let her cheek out of Marlita's affection.

"If you don't want to, just give it to me! I guarantee this apartment will be clean and well maintained" said Vina assured Marlita.

The two girls chatted until they were both sound asleep, the clockwork kept turning and Showing at exactly four o'clock.

The alarm clock rang so loud that it woke Vina up.

“Gosh ... already afternoon,” said Vina.

The 25-year-old girl walked into the kitchen, Vina opened the fridge and her left hand grabbed an apple and some strawberries. Her melodious voice filled the kitchen room, Vina always sang while doing her activities. After he finished making coffee and tea, he went back into the room where Marlita's body was shaken.

Seeing that her efforts were fruitless, Vina sat on the lip of the bed and placed her lips near Marlita's ears.

“Ta ... Rafan came here" whispered Vina.

Soon her sister got up and looked around, “ Where is she?” marlita asked in an indistinct voice.

“Still on the road!” vina said covering up her lie.

Vina offered the warm tea she had made earlier. The girl looked at Marlita from toe to head, looking at Marlita's panicked face.

"But, where does Rafan know my apartment?" Staring at Vina with a shriveled forehead.

Vina smiled wryly and she turned her face away.

"Can't you, Lo don't bother me?"

"At least," said Vina, "than you get so rich, you better tell the chronology of your separation with Rafan!"

Marlita looked at Vina with a sharp look in her eyes.

“Why lo? Want to kill me?” vina said with a waist.

Marlita thrust her phone and told her not to look at the others. Vina's eyes widened and her mouth agape when she saw the wedding photo of Rafan with Erli.

"This face .. is very familiar," said Vina kalem.
