LET ME CHOOSE MY OWN PATH

chapter 21

Pov Mila

My name is Mila a housewife, I married Amar.

While I was pregnant with the fruit of our love my husband played crazy with a woman in the office where he worked.

I know that because someone sent me a picture of them in the room. Tub struck by lightning saw a painful sight. 

Especially when Amar expressed his desire to get married again, it really hurt, like being hit by a big stone. 

Rather than being combined, I prefer to separate. Surely Mas Amar would rather live with that woman than me and his son.

Five years went by without my husband. I am trying to be independent and open up a business for our survival.

Suddenly when I was visiting my former mother-in-law Mas Amar came and rested at her mother's feet as if regretting her actions. But I don't believe that one bit.

My hatred for him is so great. Especially when Tegar refused to call him Dad, there I felt winning.

Mas Amar tried to go back and fix everything but it was too late. I don't care about him anymore.

At a time when my life had felt better I was met with a girl of the same age as Tegar.

I took care of the child like my own child but it turns out that the child I have taken care of like my own son turned out to be Amar's child with Lastri.

Lastri was my husband's mistress all this time, in disbelief but this is the reality I have to accept.

Lastri and Mas Amar are office friends. That's when they knit forbidden love. They admit to all the mistakes they made but my heart is already hurting.

****

Since knowing all their deeds I decided to breastfeed and forgive them. Let it all be a part of the past. 

Lani is a child that I consider to be my own child by being forced to return to Lastri because Lani had long wanted to meet her biological mother.

Regrets always come too late. Perhaps this is a reward for husbands who have abandoned their children and wives. 

Since then I've been building a life with Tegar. I leave everything that concerns the past. Including houses that have been occupied for many years. 

I sold the house and the shop. I left that town. A city where all the past will be buried forever.

Me and Tegar have agreed to start a new life with Dani, the man who has been with me for the past year.

We decided to get married. I hope my second marriage is okay.

The house and shop have buyers. I packed the necessary things to take out of town. 

It's sad to leave the house I've lived in for almost ten years. So much love in this house.

I say goodbye to the local RT chairman if the house I occupy already has a new owner and not me anymore. 

Bik ijah and Tegar had packed the items they were under. We'll leave at night. 

Intentionally choosing the night so that not so many people see if we will go far. I also do not say goodbye to my former in-laws and also to Amar

Let them know for themselves if we don't live in that house anymore. I changed my phone number because I wanted to start a new life.

Dani's come to pick me up. We're going to drive Dani because I sold my car. Let it all be a new atmosphere with no shadow of the past.

Dani and I have decided to get married next month. Dani also bought us a beautiful house.

No need for a luxurious house like a palace. Simple enough as long as happiness is enough for me.

Goodbye home and the past welcome the future.
