Chapter 68



Sinda


This afternoon Likha visited my shop. Only now could we meet after going to the salon that time. He's busy working, I'm busy taking care of the store move myself.


"Have you heard the latest from that woman?" As always, Likha always brings the latest news about anything. "Or maybe your ex-husband told you?"


"What?" I raised my eyebrows.


"She has given birth" she replied as she was engrossed in a snack in front of her.


I was stunned to hear that news.


"Where do you know?"


Likha snorted at my question. I forgot he had a lot of "reporters" reporting everything that happened to him. I'd rather say that he has a lot of gossip acquaintances, has transmitters everywhere so that even though he's busy working he still knows what's going on around him.


"Then?" ask again. "I have to how?"


"Yes ... I just want to tell you. Who knows if you want to visit or give me a gift maybe" he replied, laughing at me.


"Honestly, you're the one who wants to see him, right? You want to see if his son looks like your husband? There's a possibility, right?" my reply.


Me and Likha both laughed at my words. I don't know why we laugh when it actually hurts.


"Where might it look like my husband? They just did that once?!"


"Once that's what's been found out with you. The rest of the unaccounted for how many times?"


Likha.


"Do you think they're still in touch after that?"


"Where do I know?!" I shrugged my shoulders. "If now it's probably not because she's married to Mas Adji."


"You are Win ... Bodo. Obviously, his marriage is with your husband!" Again we laugh at the same time.


Suddenly my eyes caught a figure I knew very well but did not like entering the store.


"Why is your mom here again? What's up, Mom?" ask me after he walks closer.


"Oh ... Its nothing. I'm just playing, you want to ask your permission."


"What engine?" I don't understand what my ex-in-law meant.


"I want permission to take the kids to my house, like that time. When Adji brought them home." My in-laws were so incredibly friendly that it made me suspect there was some other intent behind them.


"But usually you don't like it when my kids come to your house? Afraid of ruining Vino's toys or eating her snacks" I said. It's like it's the truth.


"G .... Where possible? Your children are my grandchildren too. This I've also bought a lot of snacks for them." My in-laws showed me plastic bags filled with snacks and children's snacks.


"I miss them. So I want to take them home. Can you win?"


Likha and I looked at each other. How could my father-in-law who used to be so antipathetic towards my son suddenly become a kangen even to buy snacks?!


"Sorry Mom, I'm afraid you'll have problems. Mother often complains of fatigue from babysitting Vino. So I don't want you getting tired of babysitting my kids." I'm still trying to find an alternative answer so my son doesn't get taken away by my in-laws.


It's amazing that my in-laws aren't angry at my answer. He used to say I was a daughter-in-law who dared to fight parents, or a son-in-law did not know myself. Either he's not mad because I'm not his son-in-law or because I have money now.


"I used to rarely spend time with Keisha, so now I want to make up for it. I want to be closer to my grandchildren." My in-laws are still trying to hold back her patience, evident from her forced smile.


"Hasn't Mas Adji's wife given birth? Why don't you just go with them?"


"really?" My in-laws looked confused at my question. "Kok I don't know? Adji didn't tell me either."


My in-laws' faces are starting to look upset.


"Why are you blocking me from getting close to my grandchildren?!"


"Sorry Mom, not in the way. I just know myself, since long ago my son was not treated well by mother. My son is distinguished from other mother's grandchildren. Don't you remember that? I'm afraid Keisha's going to be as hurt as ever."


"That was Win ... Forget what was already. Now I want to be close to them."


"Sorry Mom ... Maybe next time. Now their father is busy taking care of his newborn son. I can't let go of my son in his mother's house without his father's supervision even though she's his grandmother."


"Yes already!!!" Answer my in-laws sewot. "People want to be close to their grandchildren to be blocked!"


Suddenly Likha nudged my hand and told me to look at the entrance.


"There is Indra Tuh." Likha pointed at the man standing in front of the entrance.


I saw Indra standing looking around like he was looking for someone. My in-laws turned their heads and looked at the man who was now stealing my and Likha's attention.


Indra looks very handsome and dignified. I've seen Mas Adji dressed in an office, almost every day. But the aura Indra displayed was very different from Mas Adji. Indra like having charisma that shows he is not an ordinary man, classy man.


"Excuse me ... " I passed my in-laws and walked over to Indra.


"Who is he?" I want to hear my in-laws ask Likha.


"Winda's future husband," Likha replied without hesitation.


"Hi ... You lookingforme?"


Indra answered me with a smile.


"Have you eaten? I brought you lunch." Indra showed two boxes of food from a famous restaurant in his hand.


"I also happen to not have eaten. Yuk ... Sign in. It's there Likha's there too." I invited Indra to join Likha and my in-laws behind.


"But I only brought two boxes of food. I'm sorry I didn't know there were a lot of people here. I'll order again." Indra has already issued his phone.


"No need to sir ... I want to go home" said Likha.


"Kok rush Likha?"


"I've been here this morning sir. Not good with Winda. I have often had lunch with Mr. Indra. That the Winda may never have. Isn't it Win?" I know Likha is teasing me.


"I'll go home first Win ... See you at the office, sir ... " Likha grabbed her bag and left.


Indra just laughed. While my in-laws looked at Indra from top to bottom and from bottom to top until I was uncomfortable seeing it.


Sorry Mom, your boys are different castes to this one! my inner.


"Mommy still has business here?"


My in-laws looked at me cynically and left without a word.


"Why do parents say that, Win? Who is he?"


I think Indra kind of didn't like seeing my attitude earlier.


"He's my former father-in-law" I replied quickly.


"Oh .." replied Indra briefly. Now Indra seems to understand and understand my attitude earlier.
