My father-in-law Kang Setur

MKA 45'S

I've been tidy with my hijab even though I haven't had a shower but I still smell good, believe me! Not to forget also I put lipstick on my lips, not I mean for pretentious but I don't want to look pale in front of many people. My grief over this divorce can only be me knowing, not them.

Chequek!

"Surprise!" Mas Danu sprinkled the petals of the flower right in front of me. After her petals on ran out, I suddenly saw my son walking towards me while carrying flowers.

"New life to be happy!" Zavier said to my astonishment, My little baby is already fluent in speech.

"Thank you, son." I can't stop kissing my son's forehead, the only reason I'm staying in this town.

Ma'am Hanum approached me, "Don't miss me again, we're here for you."

"Thank you, Num. Without you I don't know how my life is now."

"My best friend is just you, don't thank me because my best friend never knows thank you and sorry."

I smiled at him, my best friend knows how to make me smile.

"Dhira, I believe you are strong" said Mr. Zaydan, handing me a paper bag.

"Thank you, sir. But what is this?"

"Just take a gift, don't open it now."

I nodded, maybe she was embarrassed, I thought. "Have you eaten yet?"

"We're here to ask for food."

"Good, Hanum! Seriously? I didn't cook, did I order you to eat? What do you want to eat?"

'Pft, Haha!

He laughed at me when I was panicking right now. It sucks!

"Seriously? Oh, my God, Mr. Zaydan doesn't have to bother with this. I'm getting bad, or just cut my pay, sir, not pa-pa really."

"No hassle, Dhira. It is I who want to," said Mr. Zaydan.

Good morning to the world!

I greet the sun that has shone, the birds chirping welcome my broom, even the chickens also crowed enlivening the situation at that time. Why are they happy? Ah, they're teasing me. Who is happy with the status of being a widow?

Me! Yeah, I should be happy. It's my choice, my happiness is only me deciding, not them!

I started this morning with Bismillah, I hope my day and Zavier are fun. Holy hooch! So busy with the day, I forgot about the time.

I lyrics the clock on the wall has entered at 7 am, this is not bad luck anymore but it is already noon. How'this?

Duck bath! Yeah, that's the only way to get to the office. Fifteen minutes I was tidy even though my bath was not clean. STT'S! don't tell anyone, only I know.

Chequek!

"Good morning, Mother." The one who greeted me was the Ma'am, really taking me by surprise.

"August, Ma'am. Oh my goodness I woke up, why didn't I wake up?"

"Sorry, Mother. Dina thought Mommy did not work first," said Dina, it looks like she feels guilty at this time.

"Yes already, I go first yes, Ma'am. Please take care of Zavier," I said, saying goodbye to Ms. Dina.

Dina was actually twenty years old, but she dropped out of school since Junior High due to her lack of economy in her family. I got it from the next-door neighbor who happened to be his assistant also one village with Mbak Dina. For a year now, Ms. Dina has been fine working at my house. I had also offered her a school but she was reluctant to feel bad, she said.
