Sembab, as Laras saw when he looked at the eyes of the child and his daughter-in-law when they gathered for breakfast, but the woman had no intention of asking what the problem was either to Rea or to her firstborn.
Still as usual, Rea painstakingly took breakfast for the husband who seemed to be holding the son of Bening, while Dew tangah was comfortable playing in Andi's lap. Rea almost took Bening from Arkan's lap intending for her husband to have breakfast. However, Arkan refuses, asking Rea to enjoy his breakfast first. Indeed, every Sunday the babysitter of the two babies was off, then they both had to take care of Bening and Dew itself, including eating they also had to alternate.
At the dinner table, Andi was seen teasing the Dew, tickling the baby's stomach with her head until the baby laughed out loud, "where's your papa? why haven't you seen your papi in a long time?" andi said while still teasing her granddaughter.
Rea stopped her hand, scooping her breakfast, glancing at each other with the husband sitting next to her.
"Ax is sick, today I plan to visit him" Arkan said casually. Rea could only silently stare at her breakfast, in fact she was completely devoid of appetite.
"Oh yes, later that night Dew and Bening again, Ma, me and Rea have to go to the launch of a friend's educational digital application," Arkan continued.
Laras nodded his head, "Just calm down, mom is equally papa no problem to keep Bening and Dew, they are both sweet and never fussy." Laras held the shoulder of the son-in-law, as if to say that if there is a problem tell him.

"Do you really want to go to the hospital to see Axel?" hesitating, Rea asked the husband who was changing his clothes.
"Do you want to come?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Let's calm I can't hit a sick man, I'm not that crazy, let alone hit a man my wife loves" Arkan said.
He then smiled bitterly as he stroked Rea's cheek, passed away leaving his wife who was still silent pecking, Rea could only look at the husband's back until it disappeared from behind the door of his room without being able to do anything.
Arkan looks disappointed upon arrival at the hospital because he found the person he was looking for was out of there, the man then contacted Axel's phone, asking where he is now.
Doubtful, Arkan came to the house of the in-laws. Lydia felt that something was wrong when she found her daughter-in-law coming alone and again looking for the whereabouts of the stepson.
Lydia asked what she needed until the queen came. However, Arkan remained in his stance, he would not disclose his household problems to others even though it was his parents and in-laws.
"Do you know a man named Adam? did you ask him to deliberately come to me and hand over the evidence of your affair with my wife?"
Axel, who was in poor health, looked increasingly pale with question shots from Arkan who suddenly entered his room.
"Do you know, don't you want to divorce Rea?" answer Ax lightly.
"You...." Arkan approached and gripped the collar of the male shirt before him.
"I'd be grateful if you could let go of Rea for me." Axe stared intently at his interlocutor.
"Ax, it seems like all this time I've been too kind to you, even though you've raped my wife and made her have to conceive your child I have been so heartily forgiving of you, that I even consider your child to be my own child, but it seems like you have been mean to me from the beginning." Furious, Arkan clenched his hand still trying not to hit Axel.
"Divorce with Rea? is that what you want? was that your intention all along? dream on! because I won't let you get what you want." Arkan released his grip by pushing Axel's body roughly backwards.
After only being quiet for a moment, Axel began to open his voice to find Arkan turning around to leave his room.
"We slept together" Axel said.
"No, I'm not lying we've slept together, even though Rea and I don't have sex, I hope you misunderstand" Axe murmured in his heart.
"Would you manage to sleep with a married woman?" cynical Arkan "Ax, I will punish my wife in my own way, I will also make calculations with you" Arkan threatened as he passed away from his sister-in-law's room.
Laras knocks on the door of the child's room and his son-in-law, Arkan only opens the door so that his mother does not know that his wife is crying again in the room.
"Your mom and dad want to jump Bening and Dew away, maybe till night, enjoy your party and not have to worry."
Arkan just nodded, Laras who smelled a strange gurgle from his son's behavior since morning seemed to wrinkle his forehead. "Everything's okay, right?" ask him to the child.
"Yes ma, what's wrong?"
Laras looked at his son, clearly there were lies and fury that he could read in Arkan's eyes. The woman patted her child's shoulder and said softly, "Mommy doesn't know what's going on with you, nor does she want to ask if you don't want to tell me, but don't be rude or make any decisions when you're angry!"
After ordering the child Laras then went from there, leaving Arkan who was silent digesting the words of the mother. However, late. She had said a very painful sentence until Rea shed her tears again.
"Now you choose, defend our household or go into Axel's arms."
Arkan's speech was like a bolt of lightning in broad daylight in Rea's ear, his eyes staring at the husband's face.
"You should realize that we are no longer children or teenagers, decide! since I can't share my heart with other men at all, just say if you really want to part, but before you decide I'll give you time to think about it first" Arkan continued.
"I don't have to think, I don't want us...." Not yet Rea continued his sentence Arkan had cut it first.
"Don't interrupt! just think about it! I don't want to be too hard on you because I know very well how you are, I might even understand your character better than yourself."
Rea looked down silently at the edge of the bed, the clear krytal circles increasingly flooded his sense of sight, while Arkan was still standing looking at him who was wallowing in heartache, there was no intention in Arkan's heart to embrace or soothe his idol, which Arkan now thinks only gives his wife a lesson.
"Not crying anymore! unless you want everyone to know that we're having trouble seeing your puffy eyes."
Rea was even sobbing, there was no more warm Arkan, Arkan who usually immediately embraced himself as he was sad, realizing the change in attitude of the husband his heart really hurt, she realized that all this time she had underestimated her husband's warm attitude.
Arkan comes out of his room leaving Rea alone, opting to go downstairs and slam his body to sit as comfortably as possible on the family room couch.
The man pulled the phone out of his pants pocket, opened the browser page he used to use, his fingers started typing a keyword in the search field, and then, arkan's eyes began to sweep every text on his phone screen that turned out to be dominated by the word talaq and divorce.
He lived every sentence he read while weighing everything well, because however Rea was a rib to him, it was painful to find his ribs bent, now only two options were unthinkable for Arkan, forcefully straightening his ribs or letting them straighten by itself.Arkan slammed his phone on the sofa, raising his head to stare blankly at the ceiling of the living room.
