LET ME CHOOSE MY OWN PATH

LET ME CHOOSE MY OWN PATH
chapter 11



This courier sir I absolutely must receive a package delivery that I have absolutely no idea what the contents inside are.


I explained to him that I could not have received a package that was not like this.


"Sorry sir, I can not accept this item and you should bring back thank you" I said and left him who was still standing outside the house.


Brak!


I closed the door without caring about the courier, not that I was cruel or did not feel sorry for him but how could I accept such an obscure item. 


I went back to the room to finish my assignment checking the Shop report rather than thinking the courier was unclear. 


Until dusk before my work was just finished, it felt very tired. I got up to the bathroom to clean myself up so I could rest.


After the shower, the stomach feels better rumbling out for dinner anyway than I have not seen the children, where they are that makes me even more confused.


Walking slowly towards the dining room but I saw a cardboard box on the living room table, what cardboard is that makes me turn to the living room.


I saw there was the name Mila, well for me but there was no sender's name, was this not the package I had just declined. My mind was floating everywhere.


****


I better find Bik Ijah and ask who sent the package.


While in the dining room there was no one, it was strange since noon there was no one in this house, where they were.


"Light, Lani, Auntie where you are" I shouted as I walked to find them.


"Fresh …."


Where they are, I'm still walking around the house looking for them. It turned out that they were asleep in Bik Ijah's room.


Yaudah, I let them all three fall asleep if they have to wake Tegar to move into the room.


****


After dinner, I took a package that said my name. I wonder who sent the package.


With fear of me opening the cardboard cover, when I wanted to open it suddenly my gaze shook, there was a notification from the nameless green app. 


[Have you opened the box?]


[I hope you're not surprised when you open it later]


[Sorry if I interrupt your time]


[No need to reply to this message]


[Your job is to just open and look at the contents in the cardboard only]


[Good night]


 


The contents of the message sent to me, made me even more confused. 


I press the call button but the number is off, it really makes me even more confused, it's better to see what it is.


I slowly opened it turns out that it contained a photo of Mas Amar's marriage with a woman, and also a photo of a baby that I do not know what gender. 


But in the photo the woman is without a head, who is the woman Mas Amar married, why her head in scissors.


What does all this mean, make me more dizzy, who is the child, what is the son of my ex-husband with the woman. 


My chest rumbled violently, the heart raced at high speed, making the Luka that I had covered for a long time now gaped back, why Robb, why should I.


Tears fell without excuse so hard I could not hold back.


It feels like I can no longer live this all, why.when I have forgotten everything and want to start a new life, he comes back and now I am terrorized with photos of their intimacy.


Although the woman's photo I can't recognize, what is the motive of all this. Did Mas Amar leave this woman so she sent the pictures.


I wanted to scream but was afraid that many would hear, it was very painful.


I will ask Mas Amar all this tomorrow, he must give an explanation about this incident.


My anger is in the air now, the emotions are unstoppable, 


***


I am ready to go to Mas Amar's house after delivering Tegar to school I will immediately ask him for an explanation.


Walking halfway like no one, I knock on the door and say hello but there is no word of mouth. 


I tried knocking once again who knows mom didn't hear my call.


Three times I called and knocked on the door there was no reply. Maybe I'm going to the market.


I'd better wait a minute who knows 


Not long because I was very impatient to immediately tell Mom and Mas Amar.


I've been sitting on the porch waiting for Mom but not coming back, it's a little bit Harder will go home from school, I better pick up Tegar first at school later back here.


****


Drove the car at speed while defending the highway while being haunted by curiosity by the photos I got yesterday, arriving at school I immediately picked up Tegar and drove him home.


I don't want Stiff to see if there's a fight between me and his father.


After driving him home. I drove the car back to my ex-in-law's mother's house.


On the way to Mother's house I accidentally saw Alvin who was standing in front of the minimarket, it seems he was alone. 


I stopped the car and approached her.


"Mas Alvin," I said.


"Mila, how are you?" Ask while extending a hand.


" Okay, what are you doing here?" I asked back.


"I'm trying to buy a little snack" he replied with a smile.


"Mas, where's Ayu? Why did he suddenly disappear? Where do you live now?" Tanyaku.


"Do you have children? How many kids are you now?" I asked back though Mas Alvin had not answered.


"I miss Ayu Mas so much? Why did he disappear and not get contacted? What's my fault, Mas?" I asked again and Mas Alvin was still silent without answering all the questions thrown at him.


I saw Mas Alvin take a deep breath, trying to calm down. 


"Why do you shut up, answer me dong Mas!" 


"Java."


"How I want to answer all your questions Mila, while you've been just talking non-stop, from now on" said Mas Alvin who made me feel ashamed.


"I'm sorry Mas, I just can't wait to know everything" I replied.


"We better sit there, Mas will explain everything" Mas Alvin asked.


My heart was pounding, impatient to hear the story.


We sat in the cafe next to the mini market and Mas Alvin ordered a drink for us.


"Come Mas, a piece of the story I'm impatient with" I said as I stirred up the drinks that had been ordered.


"You can't wait once" Mas Alvin chuckled. Could have taunted me.


"How are your news? How's your son getting older now?" Ask Mas Alvin.


Just make me upset.


"Kok even nanyain my son Mas, we will want to tell a story about Ayu," I said with a frown.


"But I can't ask you about your son Mil!" 


"It's not okay Mas, later it can now focus on Ayu's story first Mas," said I was a little annoyed.


"Well that's my best friend Mas, I deserve to know about the condition he is in now, said Mas," I said again.


"Ayu is actually …."


"Well why!"


"Just …."
