He stepped out of the elevator while unbuttoning two buttons over his shirt. Sultry and tired. That was how he felt tonight after watching the unexpected event last day. And he was only able to come home from Hendro's father's house after the magrib.
Nyepi.
His heart seemed to be watered by ice water, cold soothing, as soon as he entered his apartment was greeted with a sweet smile of the wife, Rahma.
Since getting married, Rahma comes home from the shop every 5 p.m. There are employees who can be trusted and stay at the shophouse. Usually he who picked up the wife because of the direction of coming home from the office. But he told me he was going home late and told me to go home first.
"Bluff huh?" Rahma took over her briefcase after kissing her hand.
He shook.
"I'm in the office half a day." He threw his body on the sofa while opening all the buttons of the shirt and took it off. There was a white T-shirt he was wearing.
"Continue to where?" Rahma looked at him curiously while giving him a glass of water.
And he also told the chronology that happened at Hendro's father's house this afternoon.
"Oh God, Holy....." Rahma covered her mouth with both hands as long as she recounted the incident. Shocked and shaken in disbelief.
"Tomorrow I want to see the Saints, Bang?"
He nodded.
"I'm ready for dinner. Want now?" Rahma picked up her shirt lying on the sofa and looked at her.
"Mandi first ah. Let seger."
Since her marriage, she has been living in her apartment. Always want to go home after work. In the past, if not at 11 pm, he is still outside just hangout or club with his friends.
But since having a wife he loved so much, the opposite. Home sweet home/jannati beach (Rumahku Surgaku). He is comfortable and comfortable living at home.
Morning has arrived. He not only deliver Rahma to Umi's house but also will take a flash because Nico told her not to go into the office.
He held Rahma's arm before opening the car door. "Darling, don't show a face of pity in front of the Saints."
Rahma frowned, astonished. "Why, Bang?"
"Nico says Saints are still traumatized. His sleep was restless last night and Jimmy's dream was pursued. So don't talk about what happened yesterday. Let's not feel the fear continue, you should give motivation with a cheerful face."
Rahma nodded in understanding.
It can't last long. After chatting for a while with Nico, he rushed away with a flash because he had to finish the report for meeting materials later in the afternoon.
His phone rang while he was focusing on finishing typing on his laptop. He glanced for a moment just to see the name on the screen. His men.
"What's wrong?" Ask without a stale base.
"Boss, the boss' mom came to the store."
"Who?" He straightened his back as soon as he heard the news that made him have to be vigilant.
"Both are young women. Beautiful and fashionable as a model, boss."
"Watch it! My wife hasn't come to the store."
He ends his phone and directly accesses the cctv shop via his smartphone.
"Mama.why must force the will. It won't work." Sluggishly.
10 Minutes to meet with Hendro's dad. He shook his head to let go of the personal affairs that were suddenly present filling his head.

Mother Devi
After last night's family trial, he couldn't sleep. His two children are having problems related to each other. Anita got the stone because she kept her choice. But now is not the time to make mistakes. The eldest child needed support because he was down.
This morning he felt the aura of a different home, feeling desolate and hollow. Sure oes. Because 3 people left the house. Nico, Suci, and Amanda. He's massaging his temples.
"Mother if sick at home. Don't take Anita to the airport, same as the driver." Hendro's father looked at him when he was caught trying to massage the temple. Her husband was ready to go to the office.
"Mother's not sick, Dad. Thinking about the kids again..." He breathed slowly.
"Mother between Anita to the airport continued to look at Suci," he reported.
Dad nodded.
The family room became the place of separation of Father and Anita. "Dad called a lawyer to take care of your divorce. You just need to sign. Yesterday's incident could be evidence of speeding up the hammerhead."
"I'm sorry, Dad." Anita bowed lethargicly in front of Hendro's father.
"It has. Now is the time to be happy without a charade. There's Naura, there's Daddy and Mommy who genuinely love you." Dad hugged Anita and rubbed her hair affectionately.
He was also excited to see the interaction of the two.
"No papa, Dad." Anita rubbed the corner of her watery eyes because of haru.
"Opa, there's a frown." He poked Dad's elbows to see his grumpy grandson.
"Beautiful Opa's granddaughter why hmm?" Father sat down by Naura's side and rubbed his two-pointed hair.
"Naura won't come home..." And the little girl rubbed her watery eyes with her arms.
He sat on Naura's right side and rubbed her first grandchild's back.
"Listen to Opa, baby....Naura to Bali just for a little while. There at most schools one week ago Naura said to the teacher's mother wants to change schools in Jakarta."
"Really, Opa?" naura's eyes immediately sparkled.
Hendro's father nodded while commenting on the smile so that Naura hugged him with a happy shriek.
"Yah--" Anita looked at Father by linking her eyebrows together.
"Yes Nita. Your place home is this house not the one in Bali. You take care of Naura's school transfer. Business hotel you can take care of from here, appoint a manager who can be trusted to standby there!" Firm Dad.
Anita turned to look at him as if asking for consideration.
"Mother agrees with Father's decision."
He let go of his son and grandson in the waiting room of Soekarno Hatta airport with a warm embrace and encouraging advice. He does not usually drive to the airport. But this time it was another situation. Anita is a woman. Although he looked tough on the outside, he was sure that his heart was fragile. Need attention and support.
"Assynoltom..."
He entered Umi's house accompanied by the driver who brought two large bags of hands for the entire house.
Umi welcomes him by answering greetings and the two embrace warmly, asking each other for news.
"Holy, Nico." Shouted Umi towards the room whose door was open.
"We're here..." Nico who answered from the direction of the back porch and rushed in by summarizing Holy shoulder.
"Eh, kirain in the room," said Umi.
"Holy..." He hugged his daughter-in-law tightly. Rubbed his back without a word because his tongue was too faint to speak. Only the gesture said that he loved his daughter-in-law so much.
"Sorry Mother yes..don't hate the same Mother.sama Father..." He broke his arms to kiss the daughter-in-law's forehead with teary eyes.
Sacred shakes.
"Mother don't talk like that. I don't hate Mom and Dad...."
"Thank God..." He grasped the Holy hand with a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing now, son? Want to see a psychiatrist to avoid trauma? Mother will be anther." He looked straight, attentive.
"It's not necessary, Bun. I've had better, there's a Nico mas that's keeping me calm." Saints glanced at Nico who re-encapsulated his shoulder.
"Yes yes, Bun. For a while Mas Nico's work from home may be until tomorrow."
"Liet down. If you need a vacation first. Let the new atmosphere. Yea? He looked at Suci and Nico.
"You, honey?" It was Nico's turn to look for the Holy's opinion.
Sacred shakes. "Manda's a kid, Bun. I'm here to calm down."
Amanda's whining was heard from the direction of the room.
"Ah, my grandson is awake...." He first entered the room. I miss hearing the cries of her second granddaughter.
He took the granddaughter to the living room and Nico followed him.
"Bun, I need permission to move house."
"The events of yesterday are still imprinted in the Holy mind."
"He doesn't want to go back there. The trauma."
"I hope you understand."
"Yesterday's events had a silver lining. It's time I lived independently with my little family, Bun."
"I've been investing in property for a long time. The sale continues for others. I'm gonna wear one for my little family."
He who was holding baby Manda, stopped for a moment to look at Nico who explained at length. While Suci was in the kitchen helping Umi prepare lunch.
"Where to go?" Although not willing, he must be legowo with the decision of his son.
"Hand."
