Ninu knocked on Mona's door, “Assalamualaikum” said his greetings.
Not long after, the door was opened by someone, Mona appeared.
“Ninu!” shouting smile. They cuddle, cipika-cipiki, “Ihh.. kangen really, it's been a long time yes we did not meet.”
“Iya Mon, I also miss,” Ninu smiled thinly, “You don't work Mon?”
“Come in Nin!” Mona held Ninu's hand into the living room. “It just so happens today I'm again off.”
“You why Nin? I thought I was crying, huh?” Mona took a look at Ninu's face which was indeed a bit puffy.
Ninu did not reply, confused as to what to say.
“Ah come, I take a drink first yes,” Mona understands the state of this friend, she passed to the kitchen.
“Let's drink Nin,” said Mona while putting a glass filled with warm sweet tea.
“Thank you,” Ninu took the glass and gulped the contents. It felt warm creeping across his claustrophobic chest.
“Mon, I want to stay here for a few days, can you?”
“Boleh, it's okay. I'll be alone at home so it doesn't matter if you want to stay here,” Mona is still staring at Ninu with a curious look. He felt that something must have happened.
“Mon, please don't ask me anything just yet,” Ninu understood Mona's view on him.
“Iya take it easy Nin, we have a lot of time kok” replied Mona smiling, “Let's drink some more tea. Have you eaten yet?”
“Already, I ate earlier.”
“If so, nih eat cake aja yes, yesterday I happened to buy pia beans ijo, tried Nin, delicious you know!” Mona thrusts a jar of ceper and opens the lid.
“Iya later I eat,” Ninu is not tasteful.

Before the Maghrib Ninu prayer permission on Mona that she will stay in the room while waiting for Isya time. He spent his time sitting on the prayer mat.
How painful it turns out that his name is heartbroken, forced to have to go in time again his love.
Maybe now Haris is at home with Tyara, her lover. Unable to imagine how happy they were while now falling into the abyss of deep and dark heartbreak.
I have to be strong. It's a consequence that I must accept, not to be whiny. I have to remember there is still an Ima who depends on it.
Ima. Did Ima call me? But I dare not turn on HP, afraid in case bang Haris or mas Budi call. Leave it alone first.
After the Isya prayer, Ninu went out to meet Mona. They sat on the carpet facing the lighted tv.
“So you why Nin? Again fight yes same mister Haris?” mona asked unable to hold back her curiosity.
“I again reluctant to tell you Mon. but I certainly beg one thing with you, if later bang Haris meet you and ask me, you answer do not know yes.”
“Eh... I have to lie dong?”
“Only for a while Mon, I will clear up my problem with bang Haris, but not now, I need time to reflect and win the mind.”
“It looks like you guys had a big fight huh, you got the whole thing,” said Mona, “Eh Nin, you know that in religion we should not you wife go aka run away that, sin knows!”
Ninu shut up, you have no idea what really happened Mon, whispered his heart.
“Yes, it's okay if you don't want a story. I will not make a meaning. We sleep yuk, you also need rest like. Her eyes are swollen that way,” Mona smiled seductively.
Because Mona's not working today so she doesn't know that Haris and Budi came to the store to ask for Ninu's whereabouts.
Flashback off
⚘
Back to Haris who was in the hospital dropping off the accident victim.
Suddenly the hospital reminded her of Mona. Yes Mona, the girl who was accompanying Ninu when sakau. And Haris did not meet Mona when he came to Sandra's store to ask her where Ninu was 5 days ago.
“Halo, assalamualaikum bang,” Budi's voice on the phone.
“Oh okay bang!”
Budi immediately went to Sandra's store, he asked permission to meet Mona.
“Nona Mona?” ask Budi.
“Eh.. yes,” Mona replied shortly after she was in Sandra's office.
“Let's come with me, there's a little thing I want to talk about.”
“Where?” Mona's confused.
“We drink for a while to chat more comfortable” replied Budi, “Tante I borrowed his Mona for a while yes,” Budi turned his eyes on Sandra.
“Iya please Bud, anyways soon the working hours run out,” replied Sandra while staring at Mona.
They stopped in front of a cafe. Budi invited Mona in and met someone who was waiting for her there.
“Good afternoon Mona,” said Haris looking at Mona who was slightly shaking.
I'm like being kidnapped by the mafia in action movies, Inner Mona.
“Please sit miss,” Budi pull up chair for Mona.
“Eh.. yes thank you,” hesitantly Mona sat down, stared at Haris who was still staring at her.
He was a mess, Mona thought, not as usual.
“Sorry I interrupted your working time,” said Haris flatly, “I'm anxious at the moment. And I want to share this anxiety with you. Hopefully you can help.”
Mona was still staring at Haris. He could already guess which direction this conversation was headed.
Needless to say stale, Haris recounted her relationship with Ninu from the beginning how she could marry him.
As the story goes to her aunt and uncle, as well as to her mom and dad, Haris tells her who Tyara is and why she met Tyara.
Haris says that she met Tyara only to convince herself that there was no more love in her heart and now Tyara is no one else to her. That the real woman loved with all her heart was just Ninu.
Haris explains that Ninu had been misunderstood by what he heard from the servants' chatter and from Budi's phone with him. Haris says how he almost went crazy for losing his beloved wife.
“So please help me to meet my wife. I want to explain everything so that there is no misunderstanding.”
So as soon as it seems that the problem is going on, Ninu has not told me anything. It's very sorry, Mr. Haris. From the look and look in his eyes I knew that he was really suffering.
But who does she know that Ninu is in my house?
“Can you Mona?” ask Haris again.
Mona nodded her head, “Ninu is indeed in my house sir. He has been with me for 5 days. He was very sad, even I often saw him crying in his prayers. To this day, he tells me nothing. I just found out the true events of mr.”
“If you want to meet him please, I also do not want a protracted Ninu to be in trouble.”
The heart of Haris and Budi heard Mona's answer. They breathe in simultaneously.
Finally, baby, I found you.
“Thank you for your help. Tomorrow I'll come to your house. Can you ask for the address?”
“Ya, of course,” replied Mona.
“But please keep my planned arrival secret to my wife. Let me explain everything myself.”
“Ya sir, well.”
⚘⚘⚘⚘
Wait for me, baby
I'll come get you
My love
😍😍😍😍
