Forced to endure

Chapter 56

It doesn't feel like your little one is almost five months old. During that time he had met his father no more than five times. Either it's my fault for not allowing Mas Adji to see the kids. Or maybe it was Mas Adji who had no intention of meeting them. Or maybe his household is now more fun than it used to be until he forgot his children.

He also did not send any more money to the children. It's not a problem for me, I can afford both of my children with my own money. It is only unethical if Mas Adji directly stops rations for children. But I won't fuss about it. I better live my life now.

"We're leaving right away?" ask Likha who is already standing next to me. I'm nodding.

I made an agreement with Likha to go to the salon together. It's time I took care of myself again.

"Where are we going?" ask Likha while watching me drive the car.

"Where's that? I want a spa, massage while sipping aromatherapy candles therapy might relax me."

"As far as you are ... I follow Ms. Boss," replied Likha with a wave.

"Bos what the hell ... "

Silent moment.

"Aren't you sure Win? The storm in your life could take you so far. You become a successful female entrepreneur. Can open a clothes stall, even a moment to buy a shop."

I was silent hearing Likha's words. I never imagined myself to be what I am today.

"Mah's car is now a lot. Can't be called a successful person if the benchmark can only buy a car."

"For me you are still the most successful person in our village."

I laughed at Likha's words.

"Why laugh ... ? Isn't that correct ... ? Take a look ... Can't anyone buy their own car without the frills of selling heritage? There is no Win, there is no sub-district! You're the only woman who can buy a car out of her own sweat."

"It ... It's .. it's getting worse."

"Have you thought about finding another partner?"

I'm back in silence. I was thinking about not looking for another partner. Still see Mas Adji seems to have forgotten us, I think I want to answer yes. I also deserve to be happy. I also want to move on immediately but the shadow of Mas Adji's betrayal continues to haunt me.

"Actually I want to, but I'm scared."

"Fear what?"

"Fear of my partner doing the same thing Mas Adji did."

Likha exhaled slowly.

"What are the criteria for men who are not likely to cheat? You've known Mas Adji since we were dating. Everything good is on him. I feel like I have found the perfect man. You even envy me."

"But you know for yourself at last. So ... If later I find a partner, I have to look for what? What kind of one?"

The silent turn of Likha.

"You how? Still gonna hold?"

"I will continue to endure until my husband gives up" replied Likha mantab.

"Crazy you."

"If it were likened it might be that my household is now just a status."

"Yes ... I understand that. I've felt it too."

And we kept chatting, talking about something that we never thought would happen in our lives, until it didn't feel like we had reached our destination.

"Sir Indra?" I heard Likha greeting someone.

"Hey ... Licha. You're here too. Same who?"

"Yes Sir. It's the same Winda."

"Mrs ...?"

I had actually pretended not to hear their conversation but Likha mentioned my name as if that person knew me.

"Win ... This is Mr. Indra. Here ... " Likha pulled my hand closer to the person she called Mr. Indra. I don't really remember who Mr. Indra was.

"Pak Indra still remembers the same Winda right?" likha said after I confronted the person she called Mr. Indra.

Mr. Indra looked at me and then his smile broke after that.

I stared inside the man in front of me while remembering who he was. Because after being with Mas Adji I don't know any other men anymore.

Oh I remember ... He was my supervisor when I was SPG.

"Sir Indra?"

He nodded then we shook hands.

"How are you, sir?" I am without shame anymore.

"I'm good. You how? You haven't changed Win," said Mr. Indra as he continued to look at me. I don't know why I think he admires me.

"I'm good sir."

"Now busy what?"

"Now at home continue, so Housewife,"

"Lying sir, Winda has become a successful businessman," said Likha.

"Darling ... " Suddenly a woman appeared from inside the salon and immediately grabbed the hand of Mr. Indra.

"Yuk ... I'm done" said the woman without saying hello or looking at me and Likha.

"I am first ... Likha tomorrow we meet at the office, right?"

Likha only gave her two thumbs up.

Lali Pak Indra went with the woman. Likha and I immediately entered the salon to do the treatment.

"Pak Indra's richness still likes you deh Win."

"Don't talk recklessly, you saw for yourself he had a partner."

"But as far as I know after the divorce she hasn't remarried Win. What was that boyfriend?"

"He's divorced too?" I can't believe it.

"Yes ... His wife cheated if not wrong. But they don't have any children."

"Can you? Mr. Indra handsome so still cheated too."

"He was rarely at Win's house. Now he serves as regional manager, his work out of town continues. Maybe his lonely wife keeps looking for entertainment, who knows?"

"Don't you know."

"It's just my analyst." Likha chuckles.

"If he asks for your phone number, don't you?"

"What did he do to ask for my number? He already has a partner. You think it's a distance ... "

"Win ... He had a crush on you once. Nothing is impossible. I'm sure he still has feelings for you. I saw how he looked at you."

Coming home from our salon straight back to the stall. I decided to bring lunch to the stall because I had left the stall too late.

I was enjoying my lunch at the kiosk, still with Likha. Today he is off work and wants to spend time with me.

Then I saw a pregnant woman approaching us.

"Hai Jeng Likha, Jeng Winda ... How are you?"

I stopped eating. My appetite disappeared immediately upon seeing this woman. As for Likha, she immediately stood up and her hand immediately came forward wanting to grab Eva's hair.

I pulled Likha's hand before she did her intention.

"Do you think this girl still has face coming here?"

"I came here to buy maternity clothes. Not to meet you guys. See if my stomach has gone out?" Eva stroked her stomach in front of me and Likha.

"Jeng Winda ... There are clothes that fit me, right? Mas Adji again can't deliver me shopping. I had to go alone."

Actually I was annoyed to hear Eva's words that seemed to want to show off to me. But when I saw Likha, she looked much more annoyed than I was.
