Three months have passed since Mila's decision to become a housewife. There was no regret in the least. He enjoys his days with enthusiasm, wakes up early and prepares Akbar's equipment to the office, takes care of Maxwell and teaches him to be independent, ranging from bathing himself, wearing his own clothes, eating alone, and so on, Mila leads him and gives him direction but keeps an eye on him.
After quitting work, she spent more time at home with Maxwell, learned to cook with Bi Lina, and now for dinner Mila took over the cooking duties that Bi Lina used to do. Bi Lina was happy because her work had been reduced since there was Mila. The more days they become more compact.
That day coincided with the monthly shopping schedule, Mila invited Maxwell to come with her. They took a taxi to the supermarket they used to visit. Arriving there, Nayra was seen standing in front of the supermarket, they had already made a previous agreement.
Nayra waved her hand as soon as she saw Mila and Maxwell get off the taxi. Nayra greeted them with a big smile, then pinched Maxwell's cheek as soon as the boy arrived before her.
"Hi handsome". He spoke kindly to Maxwell, and as usual Maxwell rubbed his cheek from Nayra's hand.
"Long time?". Ask Mila.
"Lumayan, come". He enters the supermarket, followed by Mila and Maxwell.
They started to go around while pushing their respective trolleys. While Maxwell followed them while touching all the things he passed.
"I'm upset with Nando". Nayra started to confide in him.
"Why else?". Mila said while putting several bottles of soy sauce into her trolley. Maxwell followed him, took what he could reach and put it in a trolley. Mila smiled as she shook her head and took back the item that Maxwell had put in. "This one can't be". He said to Maxwell and put it back where it was.
Nayra who was in front turned back and approached Mila and Maxwell.
"Mila! you hear I don't ?". Annoyed that he had only been talking to himself.
"Yes, why?". Follow Nayra's steps.
"I was upset with Nando, he was busy in his cafe, it's been two weeks we never walk together, even though our marriage is only a few weeks away".
"Yes good dong, means the effort is smooth, not that you want". Answering potluck.
"Yes, but now he has absolutely no time for me".
"Then go to the cafe, accompany him to work". Mila's proposal while again grabbing some detergent packs and putting them into the trolley.
"Already, I've come to him, but there is always a visitor's rame, he only cares about his customers, I'm dicuekin". Speak with emotion.
"Then you have a lot of love he spirit, after all it is not good to often meet for people who want to get married".
"That you're talking to me is pointless". Getting upset and walking quickly left Mila.
"Yes". Cetus Mila's.
"Yes". Maxwell followed Mila's words.
Mila looked at him, then they laughed together. They went back around the supermarket and went to the fruit shelf, picked some fruits and put them in the basket, Maxwell eagerly took all the fruit he liked, and this time Mila let him.
After everything was complete, Mila pushed her trolley towards the cashier, and there she met Nayra again.
"All that?". Ask Nayra while looking at Mila's groceries. Though earlier he was very upset with Mila who he felt continued to defend Nando, but only briefly the annoyance was gone just like that. Even just now while walking around by herself, she started to digest Mila's words.
"It's like that". Mila replied while taking out her groceries to count the cashier.
After paying for everything, they came out of the supermarket. Nayra invites Mila to come to her shop and promises to drive her home later, but Mila refuses and chooses to go home straight away, as she will cook for their dinner at home. After they get home, Nayra drives her car and goes back to her cake shop. Meanwhile, Mila and Maxwell take a taxi back home.
Not until fifteen minutes, the taxi they were riding had arrived in front of the house. Mila helps Maxwell to get out of the taxi, and soon Bi Lina comes to them and helps the taxi driver drop off Mila's groceries.
"Miss". Bi Lina walked over to the direction of Mila who was walking in front of her.
"What's Bi?". Turning to look at Bi Lina.
"That's Miss, eemm". Said slowly.
"Guests?".
"Yes Miss, she's in the guest room, she's.... ". Doubt to say guests are coming.
"Kok didn't tell you about Bi, it's been a while?". Return to continue his steps.
Mila sped up her steps towards the living room, and there she saw a girl sitting on the sofa. Mila was speechless looking at her guest, she was unfamiliar with this guest, but her face was unfamiliar, she was trying to remember this girl. Mila was still standing looking at the girl, while Maxwell immediately removed his hand from Mila's grasp and ran towards the girl.
"Mommy.... ". Maxwell shouted and scattered the girl's embrace. They hugged, she kissed Maxwell's cheeks repeatedly. The girl is none other than Rania, Maxwell's biological mother, and Akbar's ex-wife.
"Sorry Miss, I think Miss already knows her, it's Miss Rania, she.... ".
"Yes Bi, I know, she's Maxwell's mother". Mila said cutting off Bi Lina's conversation.
"Well Miss, then I'll take a step back". Bi Lina took over the pouch that Mila was holding and brought it to the kitchen.
Mila walked over to Rania and Maxwell. Smiling kindly as Rania looked at him and sat down on the sofa.
"I don't think we need any more acquaintances, haven't we met before". Rania told him.
"Well, I forgot you a little bit, but now I remember, you're Rania". Reply Mila.
"It's good that you remember, I came here to take Maxwell with me".
"Then I call Akbar first". Taking her phone out of the bag.
"No need, I told Akbar that I'm going to pick Maxwell up today". Stand up and hold Maxwell's hand. "As long as I'm here, Maxwell will stay with me". He then pulled Maxwell's hand in his footsteps. Mila stood up, and could only watch as Rania was carrying Maxwell. There was a sense of unwillingness in her heart, but she tried to control it and remind herself that Rania was Maxwell's birth mother, and it was only natural that she wanted to meet her son and want to spend time together.
"Mommy, why aren't you invited?". Maxwell said after being in Rania's car. Rania only smiled faintly in response, not giving an answer, she started the car engine and drove away from her ex-husband's house.
Mila was still standing in her place, staring at the door that was still wide open. The sound of a cell phone in her hand made Mila fall. There's a message coming in from Akbar.
Honey, Rania's back from America, she's going home and taking Maxwell to live with her for a while.
Mila closed her phone again without giving a reply to Akbar. Although it was only temporary but his heart was completely unwilling to part with Maxwell.
