"Have you taken a shower?" not answering and asking back.

"Here you go, Dad."

"Father will make you breakfast" said Alka walking to the kitchen.

"Where are you going, Dad?" ask Varrel curiously.

"Mom's not coming back here anymore" she replied.

"meaning?"

"It's not time for you to know all this" Alka replied again.

"I'm confused by Dad's words, it's so dizzy, '" Varrel held his head.

Alka placed the egg on a warm rice and served it in front of her eldest son. "Don't think of anything else, other than school lessons!" rubbed his hair with a smile.

"I love my father and mother" Varrel stepped closer to Alka and hugged her.

"Dad too!" kissed his son's forehead. Alka tried to hold back her tears from falling.

Lilis came to look after her grandchildren, once she reached her son's house and saw him. He hugged Alka. "You're patient, son!"

Alka smiled faintly.

Lilis could not hold back her tears anymore.

"Mama, why are you crying?" loosening hugs.

"Why do you have to experience it too, son?" tanyanya.

"Ma, this is all his way."

"Mama couldn't bear to see your children asking where her mother is" Lilis sobbed.

"Sooner or later they'll know, Ma. I can't keep Rani if she's not happy with me" he said.

Lilis nodded.

Alka tried to smile. "I want to go to court. Varrel's gone to school, I'm leaving with the neighbors and going home with him."

"Mama hope after this, you find happiness!" touching his son's cheek.

"Thank you, Ma." Hugged it tightly.

Alka who was chatting with her children seemed shocked by the presence of her ex-wife.

"Mother!" varrel and Raline cried out and ran over to the woman and hugged her.

Rani pushes the bodies of her two children gently, "Mom came to pick up clothes."

"Where are you going?" ask Raline.

"Mom's leaving, Raline."

"I'm coming!" the girl hugged Rani.

"Can't," she gently refused as she let go of her daughter's embrace.

"Why, Mom?" ask Varrel.

Rani did not answer, she rushed to the room to pick up the clothes that Alka had packed.

Rani scoops her suitcase.

Varrel and Raline approached her mother, hugging tightly while whining pleading not to leave.

Rani ignored the sad faces of her children.

Sean was crying because he wanted to hug his mother.

"Mother, don't go!" Varrel pleaded with tears.

Rani just looked at her children and rushed to the door.

"Let your mother go, Varrel!" said Alka cold.

Rani turned her head for a while then walked quickly to her car that was waiting for her.

"Dad, go after mom!" Varrel pulls the shirt that Alka wears.

"Dad can't, son." Speak softly.

Raline sat on the porch, crying hysterically at her mother's death

Neighbors, hearing the cries of Alka's three children, rushed to the house.

Mother Goddess who knows the condition of Alka's household, carrying Raline who kept screaming called her mother.

Alka was persuading Varrel who was sitting on the floor with his legs bent and his head above the knees.

Varrel's shoulders were shaking, sobs were heard.

"Dad can't keep your mother from leaving!" lirih.

Raising his face then looked at Alka, "Bad evil!" his jolt.

Alka was silent.

"Mom's gone again all because of Dad!" Varrel charged in a loud voice.

"I'm sorry, Varrel!" Alka said softly.

Alka quickly hugged her son.

"I miss mom, Dad!" he said softly and the water still dripped.

Alka can't do anything.

-

At night Alka fell asleep next to her two children because Raline was staying at Mama Lilis' house.

Looking at his son's face with teary eyes. "There should be no separation," he said.

Alka stared at the ceiling of the room remembering the happy days they spent, before the third person in her household life.

Alka again got up and walked into her private room, circulating her around stepping into the closet and opening it.

The contents in the object are now empty of Rani's clothes, there is only one item that the woman did not bring, namely an album of their wedding photos.

Take a photo album, slowly open it. Rani looks so beautiful using a wedding dress with a face of sumringah as well as herself. Her tears escaped unbearably.

"Dad!" call Varrel.

Alka wiped her tears and rushed to close the photo album and put it back in the closet.

"Dad, where?" Varrel.

Alka walked to the door and opened it, her son appearing to be in front of her. "Why awake?"

"Dad, I dream of mother," she replied.

"Dreams?"

"I saw my mother leave but she was crying" Varrel explained.

Alka hugged her son, "It was just a dream, pray that your mother is okay. Let's go back to sleep!" bring him.

"I'm afraid Dad if you don't want to see us again" Varrel said.

"Father sure you still love me" Alka tried to please her son.

"But why did he leave us?"

Alka opened the room door, then closed it. "Don't ask anything more, you don't want your two sisters to wake up from hearing our voices, do you?" ask her slowly.

Varrel nodded.

The next morning, before going to court. Alka brought clothes to the laundry and ordered food catering for Shireen employees to be delivered home.

While Varrel has also been entrusted to neighbors to be escorted to school.

Alka comes to her uncle who is a cousin of her mother.

The two met various attempts the judge had made to reunite them but the results were nil. Rani is determined to divorce.

The trial went well, Rani and Alka for the last time shook hands.

"Yes, Pa." Alka tried to smile.

"So, look after yourself!" the middle-aged man walked over to his family waiting in the car.

Rani threw away her face, not looking at Alka at all.

Uncle Ali put his arm around Alka's shoulder, "You need to be strong, the kids need you!"

Alka nodded.

"Let's go home!" bring him.

Alka came home after dropping off Uncle Ali.

Raline ran up to him, "Dad, Varrel's sister is sick."

"Varrel was sick," Alka looked frantically rushed to meet her son and held onto his body.

"I've taken him to the doctor, he just has a fever and a cough" Shireen said without being asked to speak.

"Thank you," Alka smiled faintly at the woman. He looked back at his son, "Have you taken the medicine?" tanyakanya.

"Here you go, Dad." Varrel replied in a weak voice.

"Thank God you want to take the medicine usually you are very difficult" he said.

Alka circulated her gaze, "Where is my mother?"

"Aunt Lilis went home to get some clothes" Shireen replied.

Alka was silent.

A few minutes later Lilis came, "You're home?" staring son. "How's the hearing?" continued.

Alka looked at Shireen, then said, "Let me tell you, Ma."

Shireen, who felt her presence was no longer needed, said, "I'm going home, Bi."

"Thank you very much, Shireen. It's been helping Aunt take care of the grandchildren" Lilis said.

"It's okay, Bi. I'm happy to be able to help, then I say goodbye" Shireen said.

Raline hugged the woman, "Let's play again, yeah!"

"Sure, pretty!" Shireen smiled warmly, letting go of a goodbye hug to Alka and the man just nodded. He rushed out of the house.

Raline waved her hand at Shireen who was walking to the car.
