LET ME CHOOSE MY OWN PATH
chapter 22
Amar is still busy looking for Mila, in his heart there is a haunting guilt. When he wants to knit back his love for Mila, Mila is gone.
There was a sense of regret in his heart, his tears fell without excuse. He repeatedly hit his chest and pulled his hair.
I wanted to scream but I was afraid that many people would hear.
Amar was sitting helplessly by the side of the road. He rested under a banyan tree from the scorching sun that burned his skin.
Now he is completely alone, Mila the wife he had been in vain had gone far away somewhere. Lastri the woman who once made him crazy left him.
Amar felt this was the punishment he had to accept for abandoning his wife and children.
But Amar did not despair he continued to search for Mila's whereabouts.
****
How's Mar! Any word on Mila?" Ask the mother who saw Amar who just came home.
"Not yet Ma'am" Amar replied as he sat on the sofa. He just came home to find Mila. It feels desperate, either have to go to find the whereabouts of Mila and Tegar.
I seemed resigned to hear Amar had not found Mila who went without saying goodbye to him.
Mila is a good daughter-in-law for Amar's mother, although her son has separated but not in the least she thinks that Mila is her ex-daughter-in-law.
To him Mila remains a daughter-in-law.
"Where should Amar look for Mila ma'am?" Mila didn't leave a trace.
"Mother doesn't know either."
"If from the beginning you did not leave them, maybe you have lived happily," said Amar's mother was full of regrets and passed leaving Amar alone in the living room.
A look of disappointment was seen on his wrinkled face, his eyes were glazed with tears.

"The house is very good Mom," said Tegar who had just arrived at their new home.
"Yes, this house is about Dani who bought it and we will all live here" Mila told Tegar.
"Yes Mother, thank you oom," said Tegar while hugging Dani, Tegar has begun to get used to the presence of Dani.
We all cleaned up the items that had been brought, Bik Ijah looked busy cooking for dinner. All the kitchen equipment is complete including all the groceries have been purchased by Dani.
I am so happy to be his wife. Hope this is the best option.
Bik Ijah has finished cooking we also eat food in the new house, a new atmosphere was created. Hardcore looks very happy with his fried chicken.
We ate in silence, all enjoying Bik Ijah's cooking.
After dinner Dani said goodbye, because we were not legitimate so there was no way he could stay at this house.
"I go home first, yes" Dani said to Mila while commenting on a smile.
"Yes, you are careful and thank you for everything" Mila replied as she drove Dani to the front of the house.
"Thank you for what? In a moment we will get married and you will welcome my return later," said Dani who made Mila blush.
Dani came home from that house. Mila was still standing in front of the door watching Dani's car drive out the housing.
****
Early in the morning they were busy with some of the things they brought and tidied up the house.
Mila and Bik Ijah share the task as well as Tegar participate. They laugh when they clean the house.
Today Dani did not come to visit their new home, Dani had to do the job for the next few weeks. His work as a state servant made him have to be separated from his family
While Mila was busy making new home improvements, there was a message coming in from Dani.
[We again what dear?]
[Don't be tired of my future wife]
[Kok you know that I'm a little bit different]
[You look at me, hahaha]
[Tau dong, I'm your future husband]
[Yes you are well at home well, I work first]
Mila only read a reply from Dani, because she did not want to interfere with her work. He was busy trying to make a home.
A day of cleaning the house makes them tired, tired but fun for them.
Mila so enjoyed her days, plus soon their wedding will be held.
The next month will be a family meeting and decide on their wedding date.
Mila's parents will come from the village next month, since giving birth to Tegar, both of Mila's parents have never visited because they are old so it is difficult to travel far.
****
I can't wait for that happy day to come. While upgrading Mila's new home register a new school freshman at the end of the residential street.
Intentionally choose a school near their home so that it is not too far to deliver Rigar school.
All letters are complete. Next week Tegar can get into a new school.
Hardcore is so happy to be able to go to school. It's been a few days since we moved he's always been quiet at home because he doesn't have any friends.
****
Dani felt sad because he was far from his future wife, it turned out that longing was heavy murmured his own smiles while looking at the photo of the idol.
He did not expect to soon marry Mila, Dani has long liked Mila but has not been delivered. But whose soul knows.
The marriage is getting closer to make her more excited to work, Dani has promised not to hurt Mila, does not want Mila hurt like Amar did.
****
The day that awaited arrived, today all the family will meet in a luxurious restaurant.
Dani's mother has prepared everything. Meeting two families in a title.
Mila who has never met Dani's family since they knit love is nervous. In the past when Mila was in school had met but not so familiar, they used to be small.
It is only natural to feel nervous now. His heart was racing like it was about to fall.
Mila took a deep breath.
****
All the families have gathered.
Mila just brought Tegar and her parents. Dani only brought her parents along. Because all his brothers are on the island so they can not come.
"All right, let's eat all the menus that have been provided" said Mr. Hadi Dani's father.
We all just nodded our heads in agreement. While eating the dinner that has been provided.
After eating we talked. They asked about Mila's life.
"Do you really want to get married?" Ask Mr. Hasan Dani's father.
"True, we want to get married please bless us," Dani said as she clasped Mila's hand sitting next to her.
"Mother's Om Dani wants to get married," suddenly Tegar voiced cheerfully while clapping. Sontak made Mr. Hasan shocked.
"Mother you said! Whose child are you?" Ask Mr. Hasan while sipping coffee.
"Who is this little boy Dan?" Ask Mr. Hasan to Dani.
"He …."
