Marrying an Abuser's Ex-Husband

Chapter 17

Ridho looked around. Something was missing from his heart. Although only a little, there is a sense of unwillingness if Tia leaves.

"Mas, how? can't you?" ask Wulan again.

"Ah, of course I can." Ridho. He then entered the bathroom. By flushing his body with water, surely his mind will calm down again.

"Thank you, Mommy. I'll take all my stuff first," tough Wulan while leaving Tia's room to pick up her stuff.

In the bathroom, Ridho was pensive. There's a sense of pity for Tia. He who every day serves Ridho from eating, bathing and all Ridho needs.

"Tia, I hope you're okay out there," Ridho's inner monologue. There is little concern in Ridho about the state of Tia.

With a radiant face, Wulan tidied up all her things. He felt satisfied, all his efforts showed results. She is now the only queen in this house.

"Tia, thank you, sister. Now I am the ruling queen of this house," grinned Wulan. Wulan was satisfied to have mastered what Tia had.

Meanwhile in a mini market, Tia buys the need to eat and shower. Tia with a happy heart was shopping for some vegetables, fruits, and toiletries.

"From today on, I will begin to learn to live independently. Tia's spirit!" Tia cheered herself up. Thanks to the help of the taxi driver, Tia got rented at a cheap price but comfortable to live in.

Bruk ...

Inadvertently Tia's grocery stroller hit a man. Tia raised her face, looking at the owner of the body.

"Sister Hans?"

"Tia?"

"Eh, why are you here Tia? Is it Ridho's job?" cecar Hans-former sister-in-law of Tia, Wulan's husband.

"Eh, I am, brother. But I'm here by myself" Tia replied nervously.

"Why Tia?" hans asked curiously.

"Long, sister," replied Tia hiding her heartache.

"I have plenty of time to listen to your story" Hans said. Hans forced his smile, because he was so disappointed, Tia refused to tell a story.

"You're contracting? Whereabouts? Brother among ya?" hans's Tawar to Tia.

"Eh, no need, brother. I still want to be alone first" replied Tia.

Hans understood, surely Tia needed privacy to calm her heart.

"All right, then I'll see you later. If you need anything, you can call my sister. Brother's apartment is around here" Hans said. He gave Tia time to calm herself down.

"Thank you, sister," replied Tia.

Tia immediately went to the cashier to pay for all her groceries.

"Sir, all three hundred thousand in total. Go ahead," said the cashier.

"Yes, Ma'am, here's the money" replied Tia. Tia gave several pieces of money hundreds of thousands of rupiah.

"Oh sorry, Ma'am. It turns out Mbak's groceries have been paid by the owner of this mini market," said the cashier.

"How can you, Mother? Who's owner?" said Tia dizzyukan looking for owners of mini markets. Tia was surprised that her groceries had been paid.

"That's Mommy." Appoint the cashier's guard.

Tia turned to the direction the cashier pointed out. Tia found Hans figure talking to someone.

"Thank you Ma'am, give my thanks to the master" said Tia. Actually he wanted to say it directly, but seeing Hans was busy talking then he paused his intention.

Tia walked out of that mini market. While waiting for a taxi, he walked down the outskirts of the shophouse not far from the mini market. Suddenly it rained, and the old man took shelter in the store.

"Don't move!"
