LET ME CHOOSE MY OWN PATH
chapter 42
Mila's family is busy preparing for her second child's aqiqah event, for Mila this is the second child but for Dani this is the first child.
The aqiqah event will be held in a few days, all family members are busy decorating the room for the aqiqah event.
As Mila and her family were gathering in the living room suddenly Mila's former in-laws came in with heartfelt faces.
"Mil," he said from the outside who just went in without permission.
Mila who was holding her baby was shocked as she turned to the source of the voice.
"Mother!"
"What do you need to do when you come here, aren't you satisfied that you're interfering with my life?" Mila immediately shouted without allowing the old woman to sit down.
"You're so angry that Mil's with Mom!" Amar's mother seemed to be clear, making Mila sick of seeing her.
"Then what was the purpose of my mother coming to Mila's house? What do you want, Mom?" Tanya Mila was full of emphasis.
"Mother is here …."
"Mom wants you to retract the report on Amar Mil, leave her there Mil, don't you feel sorry for Tegar."
"If he knew his father was now behind bars what would happen?"
"Let's tell me if his father isn't a good man, who told him to interrupt my life."
"I guess, I still remember what happened a few years ago, where Mom's son left Mila and Mom's granddaughter for another woman."
"Now he's coming back to destroy Mila."
"Has not enough she to destroy Mila Bu" cried Mila as she tearfully.
"Mom remember Mila fought alone when Tegar was so small, now that she's grown up you want to take her from Mila."
"Remember the incident did Mila need to remind her again Mom! All this time Mila has always respected Mom, Mila has considered Mom like Mom Mila herself but why now Mom does not like to see Mila happy? Why Ma?" Mila asked her former mother-in-law who immediately bowed silently without a word,
Mila, who could not bear to see the treatment of her ex-husband and mother-in-law, cried bitterly, Dani who stroked her back trying to calm her wife.
Dani's mother seemed unwilling to interfere in her daughter-in-law's affairs with her former in-laws and left their debate while taking the granddaughter from Mila's lap.
"I'm sorry, Mom Mil, I'm really sorry, I just don't want you to leave Mom," lirih Amar's mother who shed tears while standing up because since he had no offer to sit.
"Mom just wants you and Amar to live together again like they used to, that's all."
"Mom knows that it's impossible especially now that Mila is living happily with the new Mila family."
"Now Mila has children."
"I should know how Mila feels, it's enough Mom, please let Mila live a quiet life and don't bother Mila anymore."
"The matter of Mother's son being detained at this time let it be a matter of duty and not of Mila's business."
"Sorry Mila must rest" Mila said as she passed away from her former in-laws.
As Mila moved from her seat, she chose to end the debate, however she still respected the old woman who had been her mother-in-law.
In the past when Mila became his daughter-in-law not even his mother-in-law was evil as people say, he was a dream in-law of all the daughters-in-law.

Amar's mother was still standing when Mila had left her, she was confused what else she had to do so that Mila would retract her report on Amar.
Difficult he acted memelasil but Mila did not melt, Ibu Amar seemed to want to be angry but he expressed his intention.
He left Mila's house and went straight to where his son was being held.
By using the ojek Ibu Amar visit Amar and bring a little food.

"How's Ma? Did you manage to persuade Mila to retract the report for me?" Ask Amar to his mother.
"No son, I can't persuade your ex-wife" replied Ms. Amar with a sad face.
Amar rubbed his face while taking a deep breath.
"Then what is the fate of Amar Bu? I don't pity Amar Bu!"
"Mom's going home first, I'm going to sell our house in the village, later after I have the money I come here again."
"Everything can be arranged if we have a lot of money, son."
"You're patient, until Mom comes back."
"Alright Mom, I'm quick to come back, because Amar doesn't like living here Mom!" Amar's Whine to his Mother.
"Yes, I'm leaving first, you take good care of yourself here."
Amar's mother came home with a sad face, she felt so sorry for her son, why his fate was so unfortunate, what is this karma that he must accept because he had wasted his wife and child first.
Hopefully his house can be sold quickly, although heavy but for the sake of freeing the son he is willing to lose the only treasure he has.

In Mila's room still crying accompanied by Dani the husband, Dani tried to calm his wife who was still sad.
"That's it, don't be sad anymore."
"But Mas, why can't they see I'm happy, why do they always disturb my happiness" said Mila.
"Had left Mila before but now when Mila was living happily she seemed unwilling, what was wrong Mila Mas," said Mila in a hoarse voice while leaning on her halal man's shoulder.
"Even so, it's not that now they won't bother us anymore, that man's been in the bars for a long time." Said Dani.
"After the business is done, we'll move out of this town and start a new life where no one we know."
"Now you rest first, Mas want to see Aldo was awake or still asleep."
"Good Mas."
"Thank you, you want to accompany me and accept me as I am, thank you for everything Mas," said Mila while holding her husband's hand.
"Dear, I'll do anything for the sake of your happiness and that of our little family."
"Yes, you're resting."
Dani left Mila in the room so she could be calmer.
***
Amar's mother left the contract and went back to her hometown to sell their house.
On the way home he thought about the son in custody.
The bus that Amar was riding on drove at high speed, but he did not realize that the bus that was riding drove quickly.
Because he was still thinking about Amar.
Instantly, the bus was riding Amar's mother because the driver was sleepy, all passengers screamed hysterically when the bus hit the road barrier.
Brak!
Brak!
Siittt!
The bus hit the road barrier and overturned, the accident was inevitable.
All passengers were taken to the nearest hospital, with the condition of all passengers not yet known. Including Amar's mother who was in the Bus, he sat in the middle of the Bus.
When the identification turned out that Amar's mother was seriously injured, she was in a coma and had not regained consciousness, the hospital officer was confused to contact her family.
Because when found there is no number that can be contacted, in the bag only found an identity card and some money.
Forced hospital officials who care for Amar's mother who is still in a coma and injured chased by her old body.
The party of the bus transport he was riding had tried to find the family of Amar but nil.
Officers from the hospital had come to the house according to the address listed on his identity card but did not produce results.
The officer asked the neighbors but no one could provide any information.
All they knew was that the old woman's son had gone into town and he was alone.
The neighbors did not know the address of the mother's child because Amar's mother never told her where her child went.
****
Amar felt uneasy because his mother did not come, while the trial will soon be held.
His mother's cell phone number could not be reached, Amar felt so worried, what happened to his mother, he if he did not know who to ask, so many questions in his mind.
Who can help him, if he asks Dani for help, Dani will help to find out the whereabouts of his mother.
Dani's the only hope, and hopefully Dani will help.
While Dani was on duty, Amar asked the help of officers who were on guard to convey to Dani if he wanted to talk for a while.
Dani also came to meet Amar who was behind bars.
"What do you need?" Dani asked Amar.
"I want to ask for your help, I'm sure you'll help me."
"Feel in on you, if I'm going to help you.
"You're a good man, I know that, you're gonna help me, right?"
