Marrying My Ex-Husband's Boss

Wondel Women

Tracing this house is like a tour of a museum. My feet ached when I reached the backyard where my family lived. Like a house in a house. This place is no less beautiful than a big house. This place feels more like a real house, not like a big house.

“Do you like the place?” I was surprised to see Mr. Dirga. Out of nowhere, like an Apperate from somewhere. Are these father and son hobbies the same? Surprise people.

“No, ma-I mean, I don't like a big house” Want it feels like I just disappeared, this Master of Power is really depressing me in his every presence. His calm carry as if everything was under his control.

“Ah, what a pity, it looks like I have to be disappointed again, my two children do not like this house” What is it? Did he ever play a movie? At first, he looked happy, although he looked exhausted, but now the eyes withered, accompanied by his body's movements decreased.

“Maybe, I'm not used to it yet, sir. But this house is beautiful and cool, I like” I tried to cheer him up, and I did not lie, that's how I feel now. Everyone needs adaptation to the environment, let alone a new place, which in a dream, never crosses.

“True, Son. You just need to stay here longer, get to know each other. Getting used to it, it might cause a different feeling someday” Mr. Dirga looked far away, as if what he said was hanging among the clouds. I followed his view, even though I found nothing. Only the clouds and sky began to flick their original colors.

“Iya, Sir. I'll try” Maybe stay a few days here, will get me used to it. It's just that, being treated unusual, I find it hard to accept.

Mr. Dirga was still staring at the clouds in the sky. His hands were clinging to each other behind his body. Every now and then I see him smiling. I don't know what he was thinking. A trace of sadness could not be hidden in his face that refused the old. He doesn't look like an old man. In addition to his current appearance, he looked ten years younger.

For almost 10 minutes, I stood next to Mr. Dirga. Like a fool who is ignored. I stared many times between the sky and Mr. Dirga. There was nothing there, Mr. Dirga was just silent and the sky was getting brighter.

“Master, it's noon, I have to see my kids. You better get ready for breakfast” I remember what I came here for. However, I do not wish to offend Mr. Dirga. Right now, I'm standing next to the person talking to the clouds? Then I should talk to the grass that is not swaying?

“Please, sorry to bother you, we can talk again later” He returned to trace the earth. He seemed embarrassed to be caught daydreaming by me.

“Excuse me Tuan” I bow my head as a sign of respect. Then I walked down the path in the middle of the green grass that spread across the entire yard.

There are some cottages like in the city park, there is also a swing of wood. If you don't want to leave the house, it's like being in a city park. Some people were tidying up trees and grass. No wonder also, a large yard and enough trees certainly require workers who are not small.

Excel, Jen and Jeje, look out of the house. Actually I want to look into what it looks like, it looks like I have to put it off first. As soon as I saw him, the three of them slammed into my arms.

“Mama” Jen yells the most. Attracting the attention of some workers there.

I cupped the three of them at once, smelling their fragrant hair. Like a tonic that calms the nerves.

“Do you guys sleep well?” I ducked down so we could look at each other. Stroking his third cheek, which is soft and supple. Especially Jen's cheeks, I like to linger stroking her even pinching her.

“Iya Ma, we slept well once” Jeje looks excited until unconscious his head swayed. I laughed at him.

“Ma, did that Uncle hurt Mama?” Ask Excel which suddenly turns serious. I gasp, how can Excel ask like this? Did Nina teach you? Or is my face still less cheerful in front of them?

“Why Excel asks like that? Does Mama look okay?” I'm facing Excel so he's sure I'm okay. Let him judge my own situation.

“The uncle looked fierce Ma, even since driving us home back then, Excel was afraid that he would hurt Mama” Excel researching my face, once he's sure I'm okay he just believes.

“You're this” I pinched Excel's cheek with anxiety. “What Excel forgot, who's Mama? Mom Wondel Women”

“Don't reveal it again Ma" Excel pouts, each in remind about the difficulty of saying “R”. Around the age of 5 years can say it smoothly.

“Iya, sorry, sorry, Mama won't say so again” I hugged Excel which he immediately welcomed.

“Ma, earlier that Grandpa, told us to have breakfast together in that big house” Jen demonstrated “big house” with her hands so that it formed an abstract circle.

“Oh yes? Just you? Grandpa? A uti? Aunt Nina not invited?” many exaggeration.

“Uti same Grandpa breakfast in the room, there is also a sister Ma in” Celtuk Jeje.

“Really?” I can't believe it, sister? Wh-wh-what for?

“Kids, you wait for Mama on the swing yes, Mama want to see grandpa briefly” I pointed at the wooden swing not far from where I stand.

“Good Ma” All three nodded and headed immediately for the swing.

“Mother, Father” I called the two of them from the open doorway. Mother's voice sounded from the back of the house. I immediately stepped towards that place.

“Why Ra?” Ask Mom who's holding a tray full of breakfast and Dad's medicine.

“Where's Dad, Mom?” I looked left right. But Dad's not in this room.

“Daddy in Ra's room, want breakfast first, after this Daddy will go to the hospital again” replied Mother. I followed Mom to the room.

“Ke hospital again? Is Dad not healed yet Ma'am?” I'm getting curious, Dad looked healthy yesterday.

“Say Papa Mertuamu, Dad should be examined further, anyway will be checked in its entirety deh. I don't really understand, the doctor and nurse said to Mr. Dirga”

I nodded in understanding. If the Master of Power has a will, who would dare to argue?

I kissed Dad's hand, next to her stood a nurse. I can guess, this has all been arranged by Mr. Dirga.

“Daddy dutifully yes, anyway let me get well” I clasped Dad's hand. Encouraging Dad to recover soon.

“It is noon, later the children are late to school Ra” Mother reminded.

"Nina where's Mom?"

"Still shower"

“What time is Dad to the hospital?”

“After this Ra,”

“Oh, Dad, Mom, I take the kids first ya”

“Be careful Ra, don't speed” I kiss the hands of father and mother alternately. Then bring the kids breakfast before going to school. Maybe I forgot, we're not home alone. Usually, every time I drive to school, I always say that.

We arrived at the dinner table, Mr. Dirga was not there yet. Just Harris and Johan. They looked at us, not knowing what they had in mind.

“Why it's still standing, let's sit” Mr. Dirga walks towards the seat at the end of the table.

“Come, please, want breakfast what” Mr. Dirga open his hands to let us have breakfast.

Excel, Jeje and Jen were amazed by what they saw. The food is varied and looks tempting. But their choice fell on the sandwich. I chose fried rice myself.

"Sorry, I'm late" Nina walked in and joined us at the dinner table.

"Please, please. Come on, don't hesitate, take what you want" Mr. Dirga looks very enthusiastic. Maybe this breakfast gave her a different impression.

We had breakfast quietly. I am grateful that the children understand the situation here. They do not talk during meals. Until they finish breakfast quickly.

“I take the children to school first, Tuan” I stand packing the plates of former children. They looked at me in astonishment. Is there anything strange?. Santi immediately took the plates out of my hand.

“The children will be escorted by the driver, after this there are some things I want to talk about with you both” Mr. Dirga directed his gaze to me and Harris.

I feel bad for the kids, but they seem to understand. After bidding farewell to me, they were immediately forward in the delivery by a housekeeper.

“So, what are your plans after this?” Mr. Dirga started a family meeting in his study.

“I will return home, and work as usual” replied Harris very flat. I wanted to scream in front of him, the same, me too.

“I assume this represents you two. But, I hope, you guys stay here a few more days” Mr. Dirga stares at Harris and I take turns. He seems to want that.

“Overnight” replied Harris ketus. I don't know what kind of father and son this is. They are like enemies in my opinion.

“Alright, it's up to you. Oh yes, son, tomorrow your family will occupy a new house in housing B, not far from your school and old house. You don't have to worry about anything, everything has been set” Again Mr. Reign makes arrangements without asking for consideration from me. I choose silence, refusing is useless, isn't it?

“What's your activity after this?” Ask Mr. Dirga. He looked at me, waiting for my answer as if it was worth following.

“Nothing, Sir. I'll just meet my friend just” I'm confused to answer what, do I have to know myself or adjust? I'm afraid Mr. Dirga and Harris would be offended if they knew I was still going to work. But I also have a responsibility to Ivy.

“Just do everything as usual, son. Don't think of anything. If there is any difficulty do not hesitate to tell me or Harris” Mr. Dirga smiled, the best smile he ever showed. He seemed to know what was making me nervous.

“Thank you, Tuan” Understanding Mr. Dirga makes me feel relieved. I can still go back to the Ivy cafe.

“May I request one thing, Miss?” Mr. Dirga was back to being formal, as before, making me back on my guard. Harris looked astonished too.

“Call me Papa, like he”

I turned to Harris, asking for his approval. “Good, Pa” I replied after Harris nodded in agreement.

“Oke, you can go. Do not forget later still staying here” I see satisfaction emanated from the look of his face. It seems like he really got what he wanted.
