Adji POVs
Eva and I went back to the rented house, took my son with us. It seems like my life will be happy after this. I've been able to accept Eva because of the presence of this child. And maybe I will forget my desire to refer to Vinda. I'll start all over again.
Eva may not be a good wife, but if I guide her she may change over time. I'm not done thinking about my future with Eva and my son's mother has appeared in front of me.
"So your wife gave birth?" ask mom without further ado.
"Mother? I didn't hear my mom coming. Whose mother is here?"
"Jawab my question! Did the woman really give birth?" Mother confirmed the question.
"Sit down first Ms ... Don't you want to know how grandchildren are doing?" I tried to be patient with my mother.
"Just answer, don't talk!
"Yes ... Do you know where it's coming from?"
"Kok you ask where do you know from? I should have asked, why didn't you tell me? I'm your mother!" Mother's voice is rising.
"What's the difference if I tell mom or not? Don't you like Eva?"
"But that's the name you don't appreciate your mother!"
"Slow down the sound of my mother, Eva and my son sleeping. They'll wake up because of mom's voice."
"So she's home from the hospital?" I'm nodding.
Mom fell silent, then she sat quietly in the chair opposite me.
"Why did you come so angry? If it's because I didn't tell mom I'm sorry. I panicked at that time so I didn't think to tell anyone" I said slowly. I was still trying to calm down despite knowing my mother had come to bring trouble.
"Do you want to see my son? I can bring her here so as not to wake Eva up," I asked excitedly. It seems like most fathers in general, I am also very proud of my son even though he is still a baby.
"No, that's not what I'm here for, '" replied the flat mother.
"Then? Don't you like you having grandchildren anymore?"
"Mom just wants to remind you. Since the woman has given birth, you better immediately take care of your divorce with her and then refer to Vinda."
Apparently mom still wants me back with Winda. It seems like the problems in my life will never end. When I think about starting a new life, there are things that don't go my way.
"Forgot that, ma'am, maybe it'll never happen."
"What??? Whatchu mean???" Mother's voice went up again.
I didn't answer because I obviously heard what I just said.
"Are you crazy? What did you get from that woman? Think again! Now you can get everything from Vinda. She's successful, rich, has it all and she's even more beautiful now! Are you sure your wife is now better than Vinda?!" Mom excited to talk about the advantages of Vinda, do not remember how she used to hate him so much.
"I have a son Mom, and I don't want my son to suffer if I'm separated from Eva."
"You think your children with Vinda didn't suffer? Don't you think about them too? Why are you only thinking about your son and that woman?"
"Mother ... Please respect my decision just this once! My mother never supported me in anything. Can you just support me for once, accept my decision?"
Mother was silent again.
"Mother regretted all this time having misjudged Vinda. Now I think he's the best for you. Come back to him while you still have a chance." Mom is still trying to persuade me.
"Are you sure that Winda would take me back?"
"Of course I'm sure! Just look at him not leaving you when you're sick. That's a sign that he loves you Adji! If you want to try, he'll come back to you." Mom tried her hardest to convince me.
"There was a man approaching him. Don't let you regret it later when she's married to someone else."
It was my turn to be silent. I remember the man I met at the mall that day. Is he the man you mean? Appears unwillingness. I remember how I was so burned with jealousy when I saw Vinda with that man. But I stick to my original decision, I will defend Eva.
"If there's nothing you've ever wanted to say, you better go home."
I asked my mother to leave so as not to talk more about Vinda. Later I can be affected by mother's talk. He will definitely try hard to get me back with Vinda. I'm sure you'll keep trying.
...****************...
It was almost two months after Eva gave birth. But until now he still asked for anything. She also does not want to breastfeed Kenzie, afraid of changing her body shape. As a result, my son was given formula milk.
Every night I wake up to make Kenzie milk when he cries. I also changed her diaper while Eva was fast asleep. I did all that and the next morning I left for work as usual.
I tried to understand Eva's condition even though she was sometimes tired as well.
"Mas ... I didn't have time to cook and clean up. Kenzie cried when I stayed. You buy food all over the house, right?"
That's what Eva says every time I go home from work. Actually I was tired myself but I still did what Eva asked. I buy food also clean the house, sweep, wash and so on. Only then can I carry Kenzie.
"god ... I want to talk." I approached Eva who was sitting while playing her phone.
"If Kenzie sleeps ....You can wash or at least sweep. You can do something light."
Eva is not so attentive because she focuses on her phone.
"I don't want to help with homework, but I'm tired too. I've been working all night, I've been keeping Kenzie up all night." I'm trying to tell Eva with subtle language.
"How about we find a maid? Then aren't we both tired?"
I thought about Eva's wish, it seems impossible to hire a maid. I didn't tell Eva that I was raising money to buy a house. It's impossible that I'll contract forever.
"Can't .... We have more needs. Buy Kenzie diapers, milk too. We have to skimp. If you want us to hire a maid means your monthly ration I cut to pay the maid. Hows it? You want?"
Eva shook her head flirtatiously. "Is that what Mas is?"
"If so you should start taking care of the house. Or I'll cut your monthly money."
"You can be like me?" said spoiled Eva. His hands are starting to act. This way I can't do anything anymore.
