Abdullah, known to many as Dolah, is the narrator of this short story. He tells about his household problems. Dolah invites readers to see how the chronology of the divorce of a household that he considered happy. His most beloved wife sued Dolah for divorce. Through Gerard Genette's narratology approach, this short story will help see the form of narrative structure used. Rene Girard in his book Deceit, Desire, and The Novel asks researchers to expand the range of hermeneutical readings of influence, metaphysical desire, deviant transcendence, religious experience to reveal the truth value of the text. Through Girard's Triadic Desire, we will find the Narrator, the Naratte, and what the narrator himself desires (Mimetic Desire). After Girard's Triadic Desire is found, other possibilities will be sought as to why his happy household was torn apart, for which narrative involvement through story telling is needed to find the causes and consequences of Dolah's household divorce. Through descriptive qualitative research methods, data through short stories assisted by references that contain narratology theory will be classified, analyzed, and concluded. Repeated reading is done to find signs and signifiers to solve problems in short stories written by Haikal Riza.
