Araga had just arrived at her parents' house, with quick steps the man entered calling Alda's name.
"Alda's... Alda's..." The sound of Araga's screams filled the house.
Mami Evelin who was in the middle room immediately approached her son.
"Why are you yelling ?" Asked Mami Evelin ketus, the middle-aged woman was still upset with her son for defending Febby during the incident last night.
"Where's Alda Mi ?" Ask Araga.
"Alda ? Alda is not in this house" replied Mami Evelin confused.
"Why are you looking for your wife here ?" Mami Evelin asked.
"Don't lie Mi ! Araga knew Alda was here" instead of answering, Araga accused Mami of lying.
"Mommy doesn't lie, Alda's not here. Didn't you take Mami's daughter-in-law away last night ?" Mami Evelin.
Araga looked at Mami Evelin who seemed to be speaking honestly. If Alda is not here then why is the position point of the phone is here?, Ask Inner Araga.
"Why is it dumb ?" Tanya Mami Evelin resuscitated Araga from her daydream.
"It's okay, Araga said she wanted to leave her parents' house immediately" he said.
"Wait a minute ! You take home your missed wife's bag !"
Mami Evelin immediately took her son-in-law's bag and gave it to Araga. Araga was sculpting when she saw Alda's bag, that means Alda didn't bring anything with him when he ran away from her ?
'Why does it feel like dejavu ?' his mind that remembered when Febby also ran away without bringing anything.
"Thank you Mi" Araga said before leaving her parents' house.
Araga hit the driver of her car hard. He didn't know that Alda could escape from her.
"What should I do ?" Ask frustrations.
He did not know why he felt so angry and lost after knowing Alda had run away from him. Moreover, the shadow of his romance last night always crossed his mind.
"Damn it, I'll give him punishment if I find him" he shouted.
Araga has lost Febby and the woman has been very difficult to return to him because she has been pregnant with a son who is none other than her brother-in-law. This time he wanted to lose Alda, he would find the woman even in the pit of ants.
...****************...
Brian came home with food for his lunch with Alda. The man prepared all the food on the table, after which he called out to Alda.
"Are you awake ?" Brian asked when he found Alda sitting while staring out the window with a blank look.
"Have you come back ?" Instead of answering Alda just asked back.
"Hm, we'd better have lunch first !" Take Brian.
Alda followed the man's footsteps towards the dining table. Actually Alda has no appetite but he forced to appreciate the kindness of Brian.
"Eat a lot ! Pretending to be happy also needs energy" Brian put some more side dishes into Alda's plate.
After the meal, Brian cleaned the dinner table and washed the dirty dishes. Alda told him to sit in front of the television. A few minutes later Brian sat down next to Alda.
"What really happened to you ?" Ask Brian curiously.
Alda looked at Brian and looked down, "actually me..."
Alda began to explain what he had experienced last night, about the brother impregnating Febby, about Araga forcing himself to serve him, about Araga's attitude the last three months that always tormented him. The woman's tears never stopped flowing, but Brian let her.
After hearing all of Alda's stories, Brian clenched his hand. Araga has gone too far and crossed the line. Bria won't let the man go back to tormenting Alda.
"Brian, can you take me away ? I don't want to be here and see Araga again. I'm afraid the man is back to torture me" in his cries Alda begged Brian for help to take him to hide in a distant place.
"Are you sure ?" Brian asked a nod of his head by Alda, "then what about your family ? Your parents and Adnan will definitely worry about you"
Alda seemed to think for a moment, He justifies Brian's words, his parents will certainly worry about him, while the older brother Alda does not know because Adnan has changed since Febby was pregnant.
"Let it be for some time, I will meet them if I feel better" Alda replied in doubt.
"You want to go abroad ?"
"If you can ? That's what I want"
Brian seemed to be weighing Alda's request. If he obeys Alda's request automatically he will deal with Araga, Adnan even his parents someday for hiding Alda. But he also did not want Alda to constantly feel hurt because of Araga's treatment.
"Let's talk again ! I want to go back to the hospital, there are still some patients waiting for me" said Brian trying to measure the time to think what steps he would take to help Alda.
"Hm, alright" replied Alda.
...****************...
Araga entered his house with heavy steps. Today he chose not to enter the office with a mind that was chaotic like this.
Araga's footsteps led him into the room that Alda occupied, He did not know why He wanted to enter the room.
His eyes swept across the spacious room, with some of their wedding photos on the wall. Suddenly Araga's heart throbbed a little when she saw the photo of her wedding with Alda, where the woman smiled full of happiness but Araga seemed flat expression.
Araga then dropped her gaze towards the small table beside the bed. Again the man's footsteps brought him closer to a picture frame with a picture of Alda and himself in a different school uniform.
"He still keeps this photo ?"
Araga's hand stretched out to take the photo. He looked at Alda's face that still looked adorable because his cheeks were so chubby. Araga remembered if the woman was upset or was blushing embarrassed then both her cheeks would be flushed like a ripe tomato.
Araga returned the photo to its original place and tried to walk to the balcony. This place is usually a place where Alda pensive and sometimes smoking. Araga is actually quite surprised by the habit of the woman who likes to smoke cigarettes when it is clear that the item is not healthy, let alone Alda a woman. Araga had also seen Alda crying silently in the cold night air.
Araga's eyes looked blankly at the blue sky that looked so bright but could not brighten his vision. He had only lost Alda a few hours but he could feel a deep loss.
Araga herself was confused by his feelings. All this time he always wanted Febby back and hated Alda's presence. But when the woman left, Araga felt the void.
"What's wrong with me ?" He asked how he understood himself.
