Forced to endure

Chapter 53

Sinda

The court's verdict has been set. Me and Mas Adji are officially divorced. Mas Adji insisted on not wanting a divorce, but the evidence I had was very strong and the court granted my claim. Mas Adji does not demand money or custody. He accepted all court rulings without protest.

But there is one person who does not accept me, my in-laws. Or maybe more precisely my ex-in-law. He insisted on asking for compensation for the cost of building our house first, which he called a gono-gini treasure.

In addition he also asked for the top of the stall earnings because he thought it was Mas Adji who gave me the capital.

"So every month you have to give Adji his allotment for the income from the kiosk," said my in-laws lightly. "If not yes .. let Maya take care of the stall so we also know the income of this stall."

"This is me renting it and I'm opening it. Everyone uses my money, my own hard work. Nothing to do with Mas Adji!" My annoyance has reached the crown.

"You do not deny Win, the mind has separated all the property you want to master yourself. You can't be like this without Adji!"

"If you don't believe me please ask Mas Adji yourself!"

I'm so pissed off. I've separated from Mas Adji, but I can't be at peace completely. My in-laws are still trying to disrupt my life.

Every time I meet my in-laws, all he talks about is money. There was no time to ask how my baby was doing. It wasn't in his mind.

"Adji where do I want to! He always covers up because he's been defending you more than me. Now where is the evidence if this kiosk is the result of your own efforts? None! You don't have any proof, do you?!"

"Although Mas Adji still has the treasure that is on me it must be for his son. His children are entitled. But unfortunately Mas Adji did not have anything!"

"I'm his mother. I also have a right to what Adji has. Especially now that he lives in my house!"

"Yes already! I asked for myself the same Mas Adji. Don't ask me!" ketus. I can't be polite to this guy anymore.

"Heh ...!!! Don't be rude, you're Vinda!"

"I don't mean to be rude. Mother alone has gone too far!"

"Your pride now, your efforts are successful!"

I wanted to avenge my in-laws but I heard the sound of my baby crying.

"Didn't mom think about my son's condition? How much does the hospital cost me? Did I ask from Mas Adji? No Ma! I never asked for a dime from Mas Adji! Then why are you having trouble with Mas Adji's money which is not how much?"

"As long as we were married what did you ever give us? Now the mother comes asking for a treasure that does not exist. Mom forced me to give something that wasn't there for me. It's as if I owe you something and now I have to pay for it!"

My in-laws are speechless. Now I dare to fight because there is no heart to guard.

"No ma'am ...!!! I won't give anything to mom!!!"

I left my in-laws and ran to reach for me. Mas Adji never talked about treasure with me. I'm sure these gono-gini treasures are just the wishes of my in-laws, my former in-laws.

I looked at my baby who stopped crying in my cradle. The situation has been much better after a long time hospitalized because of lung abnormalities and less weight. Now she's grown up as normal as babies her age.

"Unfortunately Mama ... Uh ... Yes ...?" I talk to my baby but it's more like talking to myself.

And again my tears dripped just by looking at her face. My baby, who is almost two months old, met his father once, while still in the hospital.

I myself cannot understand my way of thinking. I didn't want Mas Adji to meet my children, but I also wondered why he didn't come to see them. Is Mas Adji happy with his new home?

Adji POVs

I immediately married Eva once officially divorced from Vinda. Eva is very different from Vinda, or maybe because I don't love her. Often tired of coming home from work I actually heard his complaints about mother. Not to mention he whines to buy this.

"Your mom nagged on the same way I did Mas ... I was told this, that was all I was told to do. Why not your sister? Don't know if I'm pregnant?!" his gerrick.

I just kept quiet because I was lazy to serve him.

"Mas ... Buy me a new shirt. My clothes are starting to not fit. Look at my stomach's not getting bigger." Start him with his whining.

I'm still quiet. Remembering the large body of Winda and intermittently his clothes narrowed, but I was happy to buy him. He didn't even ask me to give him more money to buy clothes.

"Mas ... Why are you keeping quiet? I want to buy new clothes."

The noble Eva is slovenly in my arms. It felt so different when I was Winda's husband. It used to be very tempting, but now that Eva is my wife I'm sick of her behavior.

I wonder if she is like this to the man who came to her house? Why would I be tempted by a woman like her? I'm throwing smart, loyal women out for women like Eva.

In the past, even though Winda was fat, I wasn't shy about taking him to office events. I am proud to introduce him to my friends. Winda is beautiful and said like a learned person even though he only graduated from High School.

In stark contrast to Eva, I was embarrassed to take her to an office event, let alone introduce her to my friends. Eva really looks like a cheap woman both from her attitude and appearance.

Why do I compare like this? Obviously Winda had already dumped me, but I kept thinking about him.

I better fix myself. Living a better home life, learning to accept Eva's shortcomings. Don't let my house come back to an end like before.

"Yes ... We'll buy it when I get off work" I replied just to make him relieved and not noisy anymore.

"Now we should sleep."

"Mas ... But I want to eat meatballs," he whined again.

I just convinced myself to accept Eva's shortcomings, now that she's tested my patience.

"It's Eva's night, where's the one selling meatballs these nights?"

"It doesn't know ... I obviously want to eat meatballs."

"Tomorrow at noon, I give you money. It's up to you to buy meatballs where." I am lazy to obey. I immediately turn off the lights and I pull the blanket. Whatever he wants.
