On foot towards his house, Anjani held back tears.
The umbrella he used, as if it did not give him a sense of comfort. Because of the sadness that was in her heart, so much, with what she heard earlier, when her husband gave her the news that he was in an accident. Things he shouldn't listen to anymore.
Anjani is like traumatized by past events. Abhimanyu had a terrible accident, which left her husband paralyzed, even losing his memory as well.
In the past, Anjani also had an accident, which made him have to lose his father.
His father died at the time of the accident. As for him alone, he had to lie in a coma, not knowing anything.
So aware of the coma, Anjani has become a wife, from a man who already has a wife as well.
His heart was broken, as broken as his face back then.
Recalling the bitter times he experienced, Anjani could not help but hold back the tears, which flowed so.
Tin tin!
The sound of a car horn, which shocked Anjani. He did not walk in the middle of the road. He was on the sidelines, even his walking was slow as well.
Tin tin!
Because Anjani did not turn to the car that sounded his horn, the driver of the car again honked.
And of course, it makes Anjani curious about the driver of the car.
But when Anjani turned her head, she was really surprised. The driver of the car was Wawan. His father Nanda, the ex-husband of his sister-in-law, Yasmin.
Wawan got down from the car and approached to where Jani was standing. He also asked Anjani. "Mr. Why does Jani daydream? uh, I don't mean why is Jani crying?"
Anjani felt bad, if there were people passing by who saw the existence of Wawan. Moreover, he was currently talking to her as well.
"How are you, Wan?" anjani asked, after wiping away her tears.
He pretended not to understand, with the words spoken by Wawan earlier. So, she was just trying to calm her heart down, and spoke kindly, with her ex-sister-in-law.
"Yahhh, this is how you are now. There's a business venture, which could make me back to having a lot of friends. Because of course I have money. And Ma'am Jani certainly knows that, if we have a lot of money, people will approach and become our friends, without us asking."
The answer given by Wawan, made Anjani frown in wonder. Now, the attention of Anjani who was originally in the direction of Wawan, now turned to the car, which was driven by Wawan earlier.
A pick-up car, full of stuff behind it. However, these items did not seem to be new items, but second all. I don't know what the business was meant by Wawan.
It could be, right now, Wawan already has a business collecting used goods, or it could be that he interprets or repairs the second goods, to be sold again at a cheap price. Or, he's a bully for junk goods.
But Anjani did not ask anything, to his former sister-in-law. He just looked back at Wawan, after knowing what he was carrying on the pick up.
Confidently and shamelessly, Wawan asked Anjani. "Bak Jani didn't want to know, what was the effort I meant earlier? I'm the boss now."
Anjani just smiled faintly, hearing a question from Wawan. He was understood, because it had become a habit of Wawan, who always wanted to be the center of attention.
"Now, I'm the boss of Ma'am Jani. Wellhh, even though it's just the boss of used goods. But I also choose the item, if it is still worth using, yes I serve. There are men who do all that. I just have to give them orders. So, in addition to collecting used items, I also sell these second items, at a very cheap price. It turns out that it is a big sell. Sometimes I get overwhelmed I take people's orders. Great right?"
Wawan told Anjani at length, with all the efforts he is currently doing.
"Thank God. You can find your way to the current effort. So you don't become the trash of society anymore" replied Anjani, who received a smiling response from Wawan.
"Yes dong Ma'am. I don't want to, if by the time Nanda gets big it will be a shame, because I have nothing. This is all I'm doing for Nanda Ma'am." Wawan said enthusiastically. Telling Anjani, what she really did is because one of the reasons was her son, Nanda.
"Oh yes Ma'am. Has Nanda returned to Indonesia?" ask Wawan quickly, before Anjani pampit to continue his journey home.
"I'm sorry Wan. I'll go home first. This is the heat of the sun already scorching. And you know for yourself, I can't be exposed to the sun for too long."
Without waiting for an answer from Wawan, Anjani stepped foot. He also did not answer questions from his former sister-in-law.
Wawan did not force Anjani to stay and answer questions from him. But she screams loudly, telling Anjani that she can give her son, Nanda, anything now.
Maybe think Wawan to say that is, his son, Nanda, will be easy to persuade, so that he will be invited to be able to live with him, with the lure of wealth that he currently has.
But Anjani just passed by. He did not answer or just nodded in agreement with the words spoken by Wawan to him.
"The clouds are starting to appear. I have to tell Mas Abi later. I don't know if it's true, what he said. He's good at talking."
Anjani muttered alone while still walking. Shortly after, he arrived home. Following the arrival of her husband, who she said would be among the same people, who had grazed her husband's motorbike.
"Hopefully, Mas Abi is okay. I feel afraid, if the events of the past repeat themselves."

Dika's mobile phone vibrates. There's an incoming call for him.
"Mama?" dika asked herself, looking at her phone screen, which displayed her mother's name.
Pressing the green button, to connect a phone call from his mother.
..."Yes hello Ma. What's up?"...
..."Dic. Mom will not be able to pick up. You take a cab or ask your friend, Awan, to drive you home!"...
..."Where is Mama going?"...
..."Mama has important business. But delayed this, because papa you grazed people's bikes. We're still in the clinic. Take that guy home."...
..."Kan has been treated, given money only Ma, for the cost of his motorcycle repair shop, and compensation let him be happy. It's done, right? why did Mama and Papa take you home too?"...
..."Hush! You don't know shit. Just shut up."...
..."Uhmm..."...
..."Anyway you take a taxi home or ask to interracial Clouds only!"...
Click!
Dika's mother, disconnected her phone, without waiting for a response from Dika.
"Huh! Mama is just there."
Dika grumbled to himself, after the phone call was decided by his own mother.
"Women. Anterin I'm going home!" Dika shouted from his seat, at the Clouds, who was also still sitting in his own seat.
"Where's Baby sitter Loe going?" ask the Clouds back.
"Ck. There is important business he said," replied Dika, while walking closer to his seat Awan.
"Ojek is fine! I am lazy again."
"Ah, not best Loe!" Dika patted Cloud's shoulder, because the answer given by Cloud, did not match what he wanted.
