After dinner Sophia went to Nada's room. Fortunately, the door to his room was not locked. Sophia went inside. As usual, when she was a child until she was a teenager Sophia always played to her sister's room. To just play together or vent anything. But since growing up, Nada began to restrict herself from Sophia. Starting to close, maybe because Nada is mature and has its own privacy. They get together only at the dinner table or while watching a movie at the theater hoom in their home.
Sophia walked over to Nada who was standing on the balcony of her room. He looks like he just cried. Sophia stood beside him.
"Sister, Sophia get a jacket, it's cold" Sophia said.
"Don't take Sophia's attention" replied Nada.
"When will Sophia make a warm drink?" ask Sophia.
"You know, I don't need any of that, I know you're happy, and I'm grieving" Nada said.
"Sister, I'm sorry, if my happiness hurts my sister's heart, I also want to see my sister happy, we can smile together again" Sophia said.
"You say like because you are not in my position, my heart breaks Sophia, where it can be happy like you, even though it is fixed like anything," said Nada.
"I know, but you're not alone, there's me" Sophia replied.
"Now that your husband is loyal, you can smile, but if your husband cheats, you'll cry like me too" Nada said.
Sophia was silent for a moment. Thinking how to talk to Nada so that he is not emotional and more sad. First Sophia let Nada take out her colleagues. Sophia was just listening. When people are sad, they just need to be heard. Do not patronize people who are emotional, he will be more overflowing and actually make it more down.
"I have believed in Mas Hanan for a long time, even though he was visiting out of town, I never suspected anything, because I knew my husband was kind and kind" Nada said.
"But it turns out, she was playing behind me, while I was pregnant with her child" Nada added.
"Why Mas Hanan, what am I lacking?" nada.
Sophia just kept listening. After it was felt Nada had issued his ego then Sophia spoke to her brother.
"Sir Nada, remember first yes, we often see the moon and stars, count the number of stars in the sky" said Sophia. When people are sad, advising or chasing it is not good. It won't be accepted either advice or anything. Impressive that we add to their burden. People who are in trouble they also know what is good and bad just that they are in bad emotions. That was why Sophia chose to talk about something else. Things that can make his mood go up again.
The tone looked up at the clear night sky without fog. The moon is not hiding behind the clouds. The stars twinkled with joy. Nada began to remember her childhood with Sophia.
"Sister, the stars are many, let's count."
"Indeed we can count, they're a lot of Sophia."
"At least we've tried, if counted together more fun."
"Come on!"
"One, two, three, ....."
"One hundred twenty, one hundred twenty-one, one hundred twenty-two, ...."
The memories come back. They were once that close. Do things together and spend time like a brother and sister.
"Sophia, I used to say, my husband is the best, a graduate of the pesantren, good and sholeh. I always insulted your husband who is a womanizer, with a myriad of bad qualities, but it turns out that it was my husband who actually cheated on you," said Nada.
"Sir Nada, nothing in this world is perfect. Everyone must have made a mistake. Anyone can change anytime and anything can happen" Sophia said.
"But there are things that cannot change. Our faith and sincerity go through it all" Sophia added.
Tone speechless. Her tears fell back on her cheeks. Sophia hugged him. The warmth of Sophia's embrace required Nada. She needs a place to lean in when she's sad.
"Sophia forgave her attitude" said Nada.
"Sir papa, I'm here, you can tell me anything, I'll hear it, I'll accompany you" Sophia said.
"Still Sophia" said Nada.
Sophia nodded.
That night Sophia accompanied Nada. They pray together and pray together. Sophia accompanied Nada to sleep. Then covers. Kissed forehead. Sophia returned to her room.
"Assalamu'alaikum," Sophia said into the room.
"Wa'alaikumsallam," said Alex who was playing games on his laptop.
"Mas hasn't slept?" sophia approached Alex who was sitting on the bed.
"So I slept, baby, woke up because my bidadar was not on the side" said Alex.
Sophia smiling. He sat next to Alex.
"Darling from Nada's room?" ask Alex.
Sophia nodded.
"Is there a problem?" ask Alex.
"Later I'll tell you, but can't we stay here again until Brother Nada please?" ask Sophia.
Alex is approaching Sophia. Kiss the pomegranate's red lips.
"By dong, Sophiakukan kind, it is impossible to let her brother face his own difficulties" said Alex after kissing Sophia.
"Good thanks" said Sophia.
Alex nodded as he stroked the owner of the emerald eye.
They wanted to go home tomorrow but because Nada was having problems, they decided to stay again. That night Sophia leaned on Alex's shoulder. He thought about the matter of Nada.
"Darling what really happened?" ask Alex.
Sophia finally told Alex everything. Maybe there is a solution for her brother.
"Don't first Mas, actually not sure whether Mas Hanan cheated or not" replied Sophia.
"That means we have to prove whether the news is true or not" Alex said.
"Yes, I think so too" Sophia said.
While talking, Alex stroked Sophia's stomach.
"It's a shame you've been prettier, fresher and fitter since you got pregnant" Alex said.
"Aiko also said that Mas" Sophia said.
"May Allah SWT always give you health and safety, so that Dede baby can be born with healthy walafi'at," said Alex.
"Amin" said Sophia.
Alex helps Sophia lie down. He covered his beloved wife. Kissing Sophia's forehead and stomach. Then he slept beside her.

That night Grandpa David was neatly dressed in a black suit with a striped tie. Grandpa David looked at himself in front of the mirror. It has been a long time since he has shied away from the lives of conglomerates even though he has now been successful with all his achievements. Suddenly Claudya walked into her room, she was already neatly dressed in a long peach-colored dress. Her hijab is also in line with the dress she wears. The dress is a little fluffy like a party dress in general but there is a touch of gamisnya.
"Grandfather ready?" ask Claudya.
Kaked David looked towards Claudya who was approaching him.
"Here you go" replied Grandpa David.
"Grandpa sure to go to the dance?" ask Grandpa David.
"Related," replied Grandpa David.
"Ashik, just this time Claudya went to the dance, must be a lot of handsome princes," said Claudya excited.
Grandpa David shook his head. His grandson was still single, he went to the dance only to find the prince of frogs who were unemployed and ready to hear his chattering and heat the eardrum.
"You're so beautiful Claudya" praised Grandpa David.
"Yes dong Kek, want to meet the handsome prince must be beautiful," replied Claudya.
"Light midnight you're turning to ash again" joked Grandpa David.
"Grandfather can, the middle of the mall later yes turned into a princess snoring Kek," said Claudya.
They laugh together. At least joking so as not to tense, seen from the look of Grandpa David's face that looks groggy.
"Yes, let's go!" bring Claudya.
Grandpa David nodded.
The two of them walked out of the room together. Gavin and the fat Dodo were in front of Grandpa David's room. They look neat and classy.
"Your Night" said Gavin and Dodo.
"Night, where are you going?" ask Grandpa David.
"Yes, ordinary classy tumbens are also nelangsa," Claudya quipped.
"We're going to go with Grandpa to the dance, aren't we?" Gavin.
"Yes dong Om, Dodo stomach is ready to accommodate food there that is not accommodated," replied Dodo.
"Whoever hides you, it's only for conglomerates, not for your rich destitute" Claudya said.
"Different thin conglomerate with bad color, both preceded by the letter K and ended with the letter T," answered Dodo.
"Betul, both eat rice and blood is also red," added Gavin.
Claudya shakes. It was free to argue with the big brother and the fat boy.
"Yes, you can come along" said Grandpa David.
"Hore" answered Gavin and Dodo.
"Kok so se-RT gini who come, feel want to buy cheap oil, pretend not to know just to get a lot" said Claudya.
Everybody laugh.
They finally left together. Ride in Claudya's black Alphard car. In the car they were joking.
"Ndut your clothes are slashed too," said Gavin who sat in the back with Dodo.
"Dodo brought a lot of Om plastic, make leftovers," replied Dodo.
"Shameful, he went to the celebration" said Claudya who sat in the middle.
"If the food celebration is ordinary, the dance must be amazing, quite a week," said Dodo.
"Gosh, what a shame. Don't whip me up, assume we don't know when at the party" Gavin said.
"Ready Om! Nih plastic for Om, let the maximum result if Om helps Dodo as well," said Dodo.
"I'm so fat and so are your plontos," murmured Gavin.
Dodo just laughed. The others laughed too.
