LET ME CHOOSE MY OWN PATH
chapter 15
"Actually …."
"What exactly is Mar?" Alvin asked who could not wait to hear Amar's story.
"Look Vin, I was originally in a relationship with Lastri and then parted ways with Mila, I prefer Lastri because she was pregnant with my son, Ayu forced me to marry Lastri and leave Mila, after marriage we moved out of town turned out our lives were not as beautiful as expectations," said Amar.
"Ju promised to finance our lives, at first everything was fine but somehow Lastri and Ayu got into a fight on the phone, I think it's just a trivial matter it turns out that since the quarrel Ayu never contacted and sent money again. Since then our lives have been stuck where the stomach of Lastri is growing," said Amar while sobbing tell everything to Alvin.
I overheard their conversation, not expecting Ayu to play an important role in my negligent problems.
Friends who I have considered more than brothers would come to betray me, this heartache heard the words of Amar.
"Now where are they? Why did you suddenly want to marry again ha …."
"Since Ayu didn't send us the money our lives were getting harder on, we fought a lot. One day we had a big fight I'd rather go and leave Lastri alone in the contract. From that moment on I didn't know anything until now" Amar said in tears.
Suddenly I was wide-eyed to hear his words, so what Mas Amar said yesterday to me that Lastri was no mere lie.
"So you lied! You said Lastri was gone when you gave birth to your child," I snapped loudly.
They were shocked to see my sudden arrival without them noticing I had heard everything.
"You're a really mean man! Once you hurt a woman" I said, still holding back tears.
"Mila, since when are you here?" Mas Amar asked while looking at me.
"Since the beginning of you guys coming here I've been watching you guys" I said.
"You are indeed irresponsible men, it is not wrong for us to part because men like you do not deserve to be loved and respected."
"How many women won't be enough for you!"
"You're busy remarrying and your wife and son don't know, either, '" my story goes on to become emotional.
****
The atmosphere was getting heated hearing the narration from Mas Amar. Me and Alvin were surprised not a bitch turned out to be the disappearance of Ayu only mischief.
But where are they now? or maybe Lastri and Ayu who have sent the wedding photo package! But why are they terrorizing me. It is not my fault that they have hurt me.
So many questions in my mind, too many mysteries yet to be revealed. Where to look for them now.
"Today I got a package of photos of Lastri's wedding with Amar" I told Alvin.
"I don't know who sent it."
"Maybe it was Ayu and Lastri who sent him Mil" Alvin said.
"Come away, Mas, but why did they send it to me, they should be ashamed for betraying me, right!"
"We'd better find them how" Alvin suggested to us.
"All right, we're going to find them" I replied.
After berembuk and determine when we will leave for the city where the Amar mas first left Lastri, we decided if the day after we will go there.
The deal was decided they went home. We'll meet at the store just to make it easier.
Unknowingly it turned out that the commotion had attracted the attention of Shop visitors. I'm so embarrassed that they're watching the commotion in my shop.
****
The appointed day arrived, I was preparing to leave, the children I had entrusted to Bik Ijah.
There's no way I'm taking them to come with me because there's going to be a lot of drama going on there.
After saying goodbye to the children and also making Ijah, I immediately went to the store where we had agreed to meet there.
I got out of the car and greeted those who were standing in front of the store.
"How ready," I asked them.
"Ready." Answer them simultaneously.
"We're one car or what?" Ask Mas Alvin.
"I just drive my own car Mas, you take Mas Amar and his future wife, there is no way they ride a motorcycle, right? Let the bike park here," I told Mas Alvin.
"Well then, let's go let's quickly get to the location," said Mas Alvin.
****
We set out to find Lastri and Ayu and her son Mas Amar, hopefully they will soon be found.
I drove the car to accompany Mas Alvin's car, because there was Mas Amar who gave directions.
Two hours drive and finally arrived at the destination city. Cars drove around the simple, densely populated housing.
The car stopped in front of a small contract, the susan was so quiet as uninhabited.
We went down and knocked on the door but no one opened.
Mas Amar asked the neighbors around it turned out that Lastri had moved a few years ago, they did not know where Lastri moved.
The more noon search has not produced results, the stomach has begun to rumble in the contents. We decided to take a lunch break at a simple restaurant.
No talk at lunch maybe they are hungry so just focus on the rice served.
After lunch we continued the search, for fear of the night. All the places we have been to have produced no results.
"How is it Mas?" I asked Mas Alvin.
"Are we going home empty-handed with no results" I said.
"What if we stay overnight here, tomorrow morning we go home," said Mas alvin.
"We're looking for a nearby inn, while looking for who knows if there's a clue" he said.
"All right."
****
The search was still conducted all night, it felt very tired. We stopped at a cafe for coffee and took a break.
"Sir, we ordered coffee and brownies yes," I told the waiter.
While waiting for the order to come, I played my salary. I saw Mas Amar and Alvin talking to their respective partners.
There is a sense of sadness and also envy to see their happiness, since separating from the mas Amar not one bit I thought to marry again.
I only focus on my son rather than my own personal affairs, the wounds incised by Mas Amar so deep that it took me a long time to treat him.
Orders arrived, while sipping coffee and eating brownies suddenly someone patted my shoulder from behind, suddenly I turned to see who was patting my shoulder.
"You're Mila, right?"
"Yes, I'm Mila, who are you?" Ask pleasantries.
Who else is this, why does he know me when I feel like I don't know him.
"If I may know who you are …?"
