Dilemmas In Marriage

Chapters. 53 New lives

The events of that night really cannot be forgotten, she has become a woman who is ignorant and not too close to anyone. Even his own mother. Halimah also admitted wrong because she is more supportive of women who look like Almarhumah Evi than Lusi's own biological daughter. In fact, in the past Lusi was always silent and never checked with Ayesha. However, everyone has a limit of patience until finally Luci became an emotion.

It has been almost a month since he divorced from Aji, he never heard anything more about the family and never even met Aris. Honestly, he missed that adorable little boy. But what can I do? Distance that does not allow them to meet.

Lusi currently works at Ronald's branch. At that time he was looking for job vacancies and when he passed the company, he stopped by there just by bringing high school files. Fortunately, Lusi has a thin brain or called smart so he easily understands what to do.

Honestly Ronald looking for employees who have a minimum S1 graduation. However, she accepts Lusi directly because she still has special feelings for the woman. Moreover, now Ronald already knows if Lusi has been widowed.

"Lusty?" call Ronald to make the woman look.

"Yes, sir?"

"It's time for a break, don't you have lunch first?"

"Em, in a minute. I have to finish my job first. Mr. Ronald first, later I will follow." said Lusi without turning his eyes.

Ronald approached Lusi, he was standing right behind the woman's seat. Several employees whispered to each other and looked at the boss who was looking at Lusi.

"Sir, please don't be like this. Shame on many people, I don't want them to think badly of us."

"Leave it, you're single and I'm also single, so don't mind them" Ronald said lightly without burden.

Lusi finished his task very quickly, he closed the laptop and stood up from his seat.

"Is it done?"

Lusi nodded. "Come, I have to do another task again" he said, not turning down Ronald's offer to have lunch together, he just wanted to appreciate the man's goodwill.

Frankly, Lusi was embarrassed because he had scolded Ronald and in the end, he was the one who worked for the man. They were both quite close even though Lusi had just entered the company, and still worked for about two weeks there.

"Lusi, are you still upset with me?" ronald asked, looking at the face of Lusi, they were sitting in a cafe not far from the office.

"Forget what happened, sir."

"I've tried to forget it, but it's hard. I'm also confused as to why it's so hard."

"You may not have the intention, sir."

"Why call me father? If it's a break like this, just call me by name. And you, no need to use my language, you. Very formal, Lusi." Ronald objected.

"Alright, pak—, it means Ronald."

"That's better." the man sipped his coffee.

"Ronald, why can't you forget me?" Lusi finally asked because he was curious.

"Let's know, I always remember you. That's weird, isn't it? Maybe it's because I love you too much" Ronald said unfiltered.

Lusi just shook his head to hear the words of the man.

"I'm still traumatized about being in a relationship with someone. The destruction of my household became a sorrow in my heart, and I was afraid that it would repeat itself."

"It actually depends, Lusi. If our thinking is one goal and not deviating, then the relationship will surely run smoothly."

Lusi only smiled faintly, he was reluctant to reply to the words from Ronald. He was afraid that this slack would be long later.

*******

Time goes by so fast, it looks like several cars stopped in front of Aji's house. In fact, there are already many people who swarm like they want to demo. Yeah, they're a family of a girl named Della. The girl died from an accident and the time was almost the same as the accident of Aji and Evi at that time.

They all came to say that what Aji's family had buried was not Evi's body. Of course Aji and his family were shocked, he was completely shocked to hear all this. Della's family requested that the girl's body be retrieved and transferred to their home. However, Aji refuses because he feels that it is the body of his wife.

"Sir, the police did say they found my son's body near the wreckage of your car. And they think if it's your wife's body. But, a few weeks ago, we had just returned from abroad and this was the only time we had to come here."

"Because they had spoken to us first, they found my son's bracelet around his remains. I was confused how to explain it again, this was all unexpected. We're not thinking of doing an autopsy when the body is found" Della's father said.

Aji got confused, why does everything have to be this complicated? He glanced towards Ayesha who was silent while listening to the conversation. An idea flashed through Aji's mind, for some reason he thought if the woman who was nearby at this time was Evi. Although this intention of his was ridiculous, yet he would still try it.

"Ma, as Evi's parents, Mama must know what's inside Evi. Sorry, Ma. I used to not pay much attention to the mark on Evi's body. Perhaps there's one sign that could make us believe that the body isn't Evi."

Halimah nodded. "Yes, Mama remembers that Evi's head had stitches because she had fallen off her bike and had a slight tear on her head."

Aji glanced at Ayesha back, all following the direction of Aji's eyes.

"Ayesha, can you see your head?"

Ayesha was confused, she wanted to refuse but was not good with everything there.

"For what, Mom?"

"For us to prove, you are Evi or not" Aji said honestly.

"Mas, I told you that I'm not Evi. Why are you forcing?"

"I beg Ayesha, this is no small matter."

In the end, Ayesha wanted to and Halimah started looking for the stitching place. After a few seconds later, the middle-aged woman glared, she held onto her chest that felt claustrophobic mixed happily.

Aji realized the attitude of her mother-in-law, she gave a drink first to Halimah and then she began to ask.

"D—dia .... She is, Evi."

The deg!

As soon as everyone's heart seemed to stop beating, they looked towards Evi who was shocked and just silently stared. His mouth opened on its own as he felt shocked at the confession Halima had said.

Halimah held onto her chest which still felt tight, she smiled haru while looking at Ayesha.

"God is really full of miracles, my daughter is back, she is alive and well" said Halimah smiling but accompanied by happy cries.

"Ma, Mama calm down. Mama's not wrong, is she?"

Halimah. ''She is Evi, Mama is her mother who gave birth and raised her. How can you misidentify your own child?"

Susi who was present there was only able to be silent, her legs felt heavy to step and she just stared at Ayesha from a distance.

Aji turned her head towards Ayesha, she approached the woman while holding both her shoulders. Without saying anything more, Aji immediately hugged the woman's body and it made Lusi turn her face. After all, he was once part of Aji's life.

"Evi, you are my beloved wife Evi."

"Son Aji, if you still need accurate evidence. We can do a DNA test, it just so happens that Mama and Evi's blood type is the same as AB."

"Darling, how? Do you want to do a DNA test? We'll all be more sure if it proves the DNA test results are positive."

Ayesha continued to be silent, she really did not expect any of this. The world seemed to be playing tricks on him, he could not remember anything at all despite trying his hardest.

"Sir, you can all dismantle the tomb if it proves he is Evi." Aji holds Ayesha's shoulder.

"Okay, we'll wait for the news." Della's father gives her a mobile number so that Aji can easily tell her.

After that they left from there. While Aji, she was very happy as well as the two middle-aged women. While Lusi, he was only silent while occasionally glancing at Ayesha who was constantly hugged by Aji tightly.
