Forgetting the Ex
Chapter 30
"What, Ma!" yudis was shocked to hear from Linda that Sabrina would marry her former boss.
"Mama said the truth, Judis. We both met her and her future husband" Linda said on the other end of the phone.
Judis hung up her phone and rubbed her face violently.
"Excuse me, Sir. I want to ask for signatures for these files" Nora said as she entered the Judis room.
"Put it down, I'll sign it" Judis said without seeing the secretary's face.
"Mr, sick?"
"No."
"Is there a problem?" ask Nora back.
"Leave me alone" Judis commanded.
"alright, Sir. Excuse me," said Nora.
"Wait, Nora!"
"There's something I can help you with, sir!"
"Later tonight can accompany me," asked Judis.
"Where to go, sir? I don't want to go to a strange place" Nora said.
"I need a friend to talk to me tonight" Yudis said.
"Just talk to a friend, right, sir?" ask Nora.
"Yes, you think I need a friend in bed!" sentak Judis's.
"I'm scared, sir. Gentlemen have long been widowed" said Nora.
"You think I'm a lonely man" protested Judis.
Nora laughed a little. "Sorry, Sir!"
"At my friend's work" asked Judis.
"Ready, Sir!"

"Usually when you're upset, what do you do?" judis asked while smoking a cigarette.
"If I, usually eat, gather with friends or family," Nora replied as she stirred the avocado juice with a straw.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, Sir. Before I cried but did not drag on and confide in a friend or with a trusted person," answered Nora.
"Do I have to cry to let out heartache?"
"If you want, go ahead. Crying, Sir. Although the corner of the room is important heart relieved," said Nora.
"Did you also cry in the corner?" ask Judis.
"So often 'clean, sir."
"Because what makes you cry?"
"It's not necessarily because of what, it feels like if you want to cry 'yes spill it so as not to be a burden," replied Nora.
"Are women so fragile?"
"If I'm so fragile, sir. Being scolded can cry" he replied. "But I don't know about other women. I think maybe they won't show it despite the heartache again" he said again.
"Did Sabrina cry a lot with me?" muttered.
"Sir, why daydream?"
"If your ex is married, how do you feel?"
"Difficult to interpret. You ask me like that, is my ex-wife getting married again?" asked Nora curiously.
"Yes, he's getting married."
"Well, that means your wife has moved on!"
"That means he has forgotten me" said Judis.
"I don't know, sir. Forget it or not" said Nora.
"Mama always told me to remarry but I refused" said Judis.
"Why refuse?"
"I don't want to be betrothed" replied Judis.
"Then, you have to find another woman so as not to be betrothed" said Nora.
"I was afraid that Mama would reject him and hate him" Yudis said.
"Have you tried again?"
"No, yet" he answered.
"Father should try to introduce him to the extended family" said Nora.
"Truely so, what if it's you I'm introducing?"
"Ohuuk... You're not wrong?" Nora looked suspiciously at her superior.
"No" answered Judis casually.
"No way, sir. Your mother will insult me" said Nora.
"Finding another woman takes process and time again, Mama must always be urgent. The solution is one, you!"
"Are there no other women?" ask Nora who wants to refuse.
"The matching criteria are in you!"
"How's 'yes, sir?" Nora is starting to worry.
"You're the only one who can help me, we've been pretending for two months. How, do you want to?" ask Judis.
"Hmm.I'll think, sir."
"I will pay off your motorcycle installments" Judis promised.
"Do I need to pay it off now?" challenge Yudis.
"alright, Sir. I want to" said Nora.
"Then I will make a video call with Mama" said Yudis raised his phone.
"Huh, now!" Nora was getting nervous.
"Yes, now!"
Judis also contacted Mama Linda did not wait long for her phone call to be answered.
"Hello, Son!"
"Hello, Ma!"
"Tumben you video call?"
"Ma, I want to introduce someone."
"A woman?"
"Yes, Mama's future daughter-in-law!"
"No, Judis. Your candidate is just Stella!"
"I love him, Ma." Judis turned her cell phone camera towards Nora.
"Mom doesn't like it, you should marry Stella".
"Ma, it's been a while. My lover's sulking!" Judis decided on the call.
"Look, Sir. Your mother did," said Nora.
Judis breathed.
"What kind of daughter-in-law does your mom want?" ask Nora.
"Beautiful, rich, and noble," answered Judis.
"Matre is also your Mama!" ceplos Nora's.
Judis narrowed her eyes dislike.
"Hehehe, sorry!"
"I'm confused!" Judis placed both hands on his cheeks.
"Mr just tell me I'm what your mother wants me to be" Nora suggested.
"Your idea later I think again, now we go home."

"Why is your face so?" hendi asked his wife.
"Yudis introduced her lover to Mama" replied Linda sewot.
Hendi laughed when he heard it.
"Papa, why laugh?" tanyanya doesn't like it.
"Mama's funny, her son was able to forget Sabrina didn't even like it."
"Mama just wants Judis to marry Stella" Linda said.
"Judis don't want to, why be forced?"
"Do you know who made Judis what he is today?" ask Linda.
"Know, Stella's parents."
"Well, Papa's right."
"But, Ma. If your child is not forced. It's a wedding don't play out" Hendi said.
"Pa, Stella's family is well-respected. They're rich people" Linda said.
"Mama never thought about Judis' feelings, she deserves to be happy and choose the path of her life" Hendi said.
"Papa never thought about Mama's feelings, my parents did too. We're being betrothed, I'm not rejecting it. When working every month is obliged to give them money no matter what I am in the city of people," said Linda poured out her heart with teary eyes.
Hendi hugged his wife whose eyes began to water.
"Don't throw our parents' mistakes to the kids, Ma!" Hendi.
"It doesn't feel fair, Pa." Linda wiped her tears.
"Try to forgive their mistakes that you think are unfair" said Hendi.
"Mama will try, Pa."

"Yes, Pa."
