Forced to endure

Chapter 61

Sinda

I sell at the Sunday market while the kids go with their papa. My mind is not calm. Between worrying not worrying, I try to think positively. Mas Adji is not a stranger, he is the father of my children, he deserves to be with them. I can't be selfish!

I called Kirana's nanny to check on the kids. He said the kids are fine. He also reported what the children were doing with his father, even sending him pictures. He also promised to continue reporting on the children's activities with his father. I was relieved to hear it and could focus on selling.

This morning the weather was clear, so the market visitors were quite crowded. Every now and then I look towards the shophouse that will soon be mine.

The soon! my inner.

"I'm going to go for a minute ... Please wait for the booth" I told my two employees.

I walked through the crowd towards the shophouse. I don't know why I want to look at him up close.

Until in front of the shophouse I stood sculpting, not not noticing there were others who also stood facing the shophouse just as I did.

Buying this shophouse is one way to not constantly think about Mas Adji, it is also a testament to my success without my husband. Just pay off the rest and this shophouse will be entirely mine.

After being satisfied to look at the shophouse I stepped to go back to where I was selling. But I saw a man standing up doing the same thing I did.

"Indra?!" muttered. Then I approached him.

"What is Ndra?"

I was shocked to hear him call me.

"Siris?"

The feet both smiled.

"What are you doing here?" Indra asked me back.

"I asked first, what are you doing? Daydreaming?"

Indra just laughed.

"Have you heard of ... If we meet someone up to three times accidentally it means they are a mate. We met three times unintentionally. Try if you are not married Win, it must mean you are my soul mate," said Indra in a sad tone.

I'm speechless. I myself do not understand the so-called soul mate.

If I look at Indra this is like a man who is very injured, holding a very deep wound.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Indra shakes. "I don't know any good food around here."

"I know the soto stalls are delicious. Want soto breakfast with me?"

I took Indra first, just breakfast. I need friends too.

With a face sumringah indra answered. "okay!"

Then we stepped together.

"We're walking?"

I'm nodding. "Near by." I pointed at the soto stall where I used to eat at the Sunday market.

"Wait for Win ... Wouldn't your husband get angry if we ate together? You better ask your husband's permission first."

Indra suddenly panicked.

"Why the hell?"

"Yes be afraid ... Go with someone's wife, someone will think weird."

"I have no husband" I replied casually as I walked ahead of Indra. He couldn't believe hearing my answer.

Indra walked up to me with a face full of question marks.

"What do you mean Win?"

"We've arrived."

Indra and I went straight into the shop and ordered two bowls of soto.

It does not take long soto has been presented in front of us.

"Win ... What do you mean earlier? You don't have a husband?" Indra repeated the question.

"I'm divorced."

"Are you serious?"

"Have eaten the soto. It will be cold so bad," I replied because I was lazy to talk about my divorce. He just needs to know I'm not married, that's all.

After eating, I pay for our food.

"I'm the Win ... " Indra prevented me after seeing me pull out my wallet.

"Not necessarily ... Let me just," I replied unwell.

"can't. I don't want to be called a shameless man for eating at the table by women."

"But I'm the one who brought you to eat?!"

Finally we had an argument over who would pay for breakfast.

"Yes, paper stone scissors are fair."

And like a child, we played paper stone scissors to decide who would pay. I am not ashamed, I enjoy it.

"You're losing! I will pay" I said triumphantly.

"More times I'll take you out to eat and I'll pay. You must want to!" Indra still does not accept.

"Yes ... Aye ... "

Out of the soto stall we parted. Indra had business and I went back to selling.

Tomorrow afternoon I'd like to take you to dinner. Gotta want! It was a promise!

Suddenly, Indra sent a message like that. Telling my status to him was like giving Indra a chance to approach me.

Adji POVs

Finally I took Eva to the mall to buy baby gear. It's the first time I've asked her out of the house, hopefully she won't embarrass me. Usually if he wants to buy something, I just have to give him money, whatever he wants to buy and where.

But as for my future son, I want the best for all my children, including the baby still in Eva's belly. I also wanted the best for her so I bought her nice clothes at the mall.

As usual, I borrowed Mas Arya's car for pity if I saw Eva had to piggyback the motor with her stomach condition that had been bulging.

Eva did not stop smiling during the car ride. He was like a first-time person in a car.

Arriving at the mall I immediately took her to the baby and children's supply store. I used to buy Keisha clothes at this store. Similarly, when yesterday I took the children, I also brought them to this store to buy toys and clothes for Keisha and Kirana.

I let Eva choose what she wants. As long as it's for my son, I let it. I noticed Eva had seen the price on the items she saw several times.

"Mas ... Shouldn't we buy somewhere else?"

"No ... You just choose. Like I have time. Next time maybe I don't have the time" I replied while choosing baby clothes for boys.

The other one that made me want to accept Eva, she was pregnant with a boy. I was so happy when I found out, that I forgot that maybe the boy wasn't my son.

I don't know why I see Eva as unhappy, but I don't care.

When we finished, we left the store. I still remember how Eva reacted when she heard our total groceries.

We walked down the hallway of the mall.

"Why don't you buy me expensive clothes like your children and your wife?"

I finally know why his face looks unhappy even though I have complied with his wishes.

I was lazy to answer Eva's question, because later on we would definitely fight let alone this in a public place.

"Do you want to eat first or not? Are we still here?"

Eva's face instantly changed as soon as I mentioned the word eat.

"We eat here?"

"Where do you want to eat?"

"Yes .. yes ... Just here."

Then I took Eva to the diner where I used to take Vinda and Keisha.
