"Find another way if that doesn't work. And remember don't be careless, she's no ordinary girl!"
"Okay, madam. I'll do it again."
"Good, the sooner you eat everything the easier it will be," said someone behind the black chair.
The woman sat in a rocking chair. He was facing a large window that was not closed by the curtain. During the day, the Arunika still hasn't appeared. It was dark, but no heavy rain. Just a drizzle.
Bandung is often dubbed the city of rain, the city of longing, and the city of memories. In the past, Bandung was also known as Parijs Van Java because of its beauty that was able to hypnotize many pairs of eyes. Jalan Buah Batu, that's where Yudhana lives. A stately modern European-style house with chess patterns as the interior paint. The magnificent house was deserted, only inhabited by seven people, three of whom were Mrs. Ratih, Yudha, and Elisa.
Elisa is still faithfully sitting in the cafe chair. Earlier, a few hours ago he was still enjoying black coffee with Brother Galung. Whether it's still her lover or her ex, Elisa doesn't know for sure. The traces of Elisa's tears were still not dry either.
Every time Elisa rubbed it, the crystal grains would fall again along with the memory that was fixed on Galung. The watch he was wearing was already seven o'clock in the evening. However, Elisa hasn't come home yet. He remembers that he left his wallet and his cell phone low.

At the same time, two adults were happy, tens of millions of rupiah were spent in an instant just to fulfill Nessa's request. Yudha was standing in front of the cashier to pay bills.
"How much, ma'am?" asked Yudha.
"Fifty million rupiah, sir for everything."
"Okay."
After paying the bill, Yudha immediately approached Nessa. The adult woman continued to cling to her as if she was not satisfied with what Yudha had given her.
"Yudh, tomorrow I want to have a social gathering with my friends. But I didn't come," said Nessa with pouting lips. They were both ordering dinner.
Unlike Elisa, who is confused about how she can get home, especially when her stomach is starting to get hungry.
"Oh, why don't you come, honey?"
"It's a shame, Yudh. Every time there is an event I wear the same bag. My friends are also CEO husbands, every meeting what they wear must be new and it's all branded goods!" Nessa jokes.
Yudha already understood what the woman meant.
"Okay, let's buy a new bag. What do you want?"
"The goods are not here, Yudh. You just give me the money later so I can buy it myself."
"Sure, how much does the bag cost?"
"Four billion honey." Yudha was surprised by the nominal that his lover had just mentioned.
Lately, Nessa often asks for new items, but she is always reluctant to be brought to buy these items. Nessa prefers to be given a fantastic amount of money.
"Four billion?"
"Yes, Yudh. I'm sure that kind of money is nothing for you."
"But that's not a small amount, Nessa. Shouldn't you buy four billion for some things," he interrupted. Yudha was still surprised because every day the amount Nessa asked for increased in value.
"I don't want to, Yudh! It's okay if you mind."
Nessa stood up from the chair and walked away from Yudha. However, he was so in love with the woman whose origins were unclear, he finally followed suit.
"Whatever you want I will try my dear. Yes, we have dinner first and then go home."
"Right four billion?"
Yudha just nodded and smiled.
"It's the same as a new cell phone, yes, the Apple brand." The woman rolled her right eye at the Beloved. Without arguing or thinking twice, Yudha immediately showed proof of the transfer transaction to Nessa's account.
"Wow, thank you Yudha."

Elisa decided to go home immediately because it was already ten o'clock at night. Even though she is not considered a wife by Yudhana, she still has to place herself as a married woman.
"You can borrow the taxi first or not when he walks until he gets a stone!" Elisha complained. He immediately drank the remaining black coffee and walked out of the airport area.
His love journey with Galung had to end unclearly because of a marriage that was not supposed to happen to Elisa. She is not considered as a wife, but Galung also doesn't call her a lover, that's sad isn't it?
As long as the footsteps stepped, her tears would not stop. Bandung is still cold, the moonlight doesn't want to shine. Pagoda is still dark, as the woman's way of life.
"Honey, I want it if we move into your apartment. I can't live at home with Ibu Ratih. I already know she doesn't like me! Anyway, we're moving tomorrow!"
While driving the car, Yudhana occasionally turned to Nessa, "I can't now, honey. What about Elisa, I certainly can't leave her at home alone. Mother must be suspicious."
"We'll take him!"
"You're crazy, Ness. Is he ready?"
"I'll take care of it. The important thing is that you do or don't want to move into an apartment?"
"Yes, Ness."
Elisa stumbled like a tramp. Maybe his head hurts because he hasn't eaten since this afternoon. Her chest hurts, remembering that her husband is not looking for her either. Ah yes, Elisa often forgets that her marriage is just a play.
"Is Yudha that bad?" His monologue while wiping away tears.
Elisa fell limply on the black asphalt. He knelt with tears in his eyes. Not long after, far ahead a car light was getting closer and closer to him. Elisa used her right arm to cover her eyes from the glare of the light.
"Why stop, Yudh?" Nessa asked.
"Wait, it's like Elisa."
"Elisa," Nessa repeated. He followed the direction of his lover's gaze.
Ah right, it's Elisa. Yudha quickly rolled down the car window and I don't know what made him care about the woman who was his legal wife.
"El, what are you doing there? You're crying, did someone hurt you?" Yudha bombarded the question without realizing it. However, he was still in the car.
Elisa looked up at the source of the voice. He was trying to determine if his eardrum was damaged? Or is he dreaming? However, not. The car in front of him was boarded by Yudha.
"Yudha?"
"Yes, it's Yudha," Elisa said again, she quickly got up and approached her husband through the car door on the right.
"Yudha, Yudha help me. Give me a ride, I left my wallet at home and my cell phone is low."
Nessa groaned in annoyance, she immediately poisoned her lover's mind before being lost in the beauty of Elisa, his wife.
"Heh! You don't know yourself at all! This relationship of yours only happens when there is a Mother, tonight there is no mother. So, you shouldn't be this brave, Elisa."
Sarkar Nessa then pushed Elisa's body using her right hand until she staggered backward.
"Aww!" cried Elisha.
"Yudha, you should be firm! I don't want you to be tempted by him!"
"But, Ness. The streets are deserted, shouldn't we give her a ride."
"No! I can't. Are you not fasting enough to see me hurt and hurt? Just seeing you marry him my heart hurts, Yudh!"
Yudha was silent for a moment, looking at Elisa's face with pity and a strange wish that she had not felt before. Not long after, he raised the windshield. The white sports car rushed past Elisa who was in tears.
'I'm sorry, El!' Yudha thought in his heart
During the journey home, Nessa continued to grumble scolding her lover. Yudha was still silent, many times he saw Elisa through the rearview mirror. In his heart, he prayed that Elisa would be fine.

"Yudh, tomorrow I want to go home. I have urgent business." Nessa said. He was tying his sleeping kimono which Yudha had just bought him this afternoon.
"I'm coming, Ness. I also want to stay in touch with your parents."
"No! You can't come, Yudha."
"Why? Why every time I want to meet them but you forbid it. We've been dating for five years, Ness. But you never told me your address."
Yudha began to giddy, he decided to get out of bed and out of Nessa's room.
"It's bad if Yudha comes to my hometown. No, it's not time yet!"
