My Sorting Comes When He's Already Gone
Streets
“Are my words still unclear in your ears? If you don't want to follow my rules in this house. Please leave this house. The exit is at the end there, should I drop you off?” Suddenly his tears flowed down his cheeks. His face was very panicked, I smiled happily to see his face. This is what I love about his face. Faces of panic, fear, even disappointment.
“YOU'RE EVIL!” He left the dining table and ran to his room. I don't care about him anymore.
...
The next morning I left as usual. Ayu is still not out from last night. Maybe he was still angry with my attitude last night.
“This is your lunch, Nak.” I am happy to receive my mother's supplies. I grabbed the back of his hand and kissed it gently. I hugged my mother too. How lucky I am to have a mother.
“Be careful on the road, Nak.”
"Yes, Mom. When I get to the office, I'll tell you. And for the provision. Thank you, Mom." Before leaving for work, I took the time to kiss his forehead, "Gibran, go to work first yes, Mom."
"Don't forget to pray, son."
"Ready, Mom boss!"
1 Hour later, I arrived at the office.
“After, Brother Gibran has arrived. Tumben, his work shirt doesn't tangle anymore. Usually if the morning is tangled,” said my friend named Hans.
“It is, there will be my mother who rubs the work clothes. It's not tangled anymore.”
“Hah, so who rubs mother lo's work clothes?” he was also surprised by my confession. All this time, the one who took care of my needs was my mother. I can't count on Ayu to do homework.
“Crazy right, this is the result if you wish your ex-wife first. Now you can rasain the consequences of your own deeds.” I can only smile with Hans' words. Everyone in this office knows that I'm talking to Bella about my mistress. Moreover, the video of my affair was viral 3 years ago. As a result, many insulted me. Humiliating me, sneering at me, even someone insinuating me blatantly in front of me. They all called me the dumbest man in the world. Which is able to throw diamonds with gravel on the side of the road.
“Nasi has become porridge, what I did first. It is a valuable lesson to, to always be grateful to the Lord to give me.”
Then Hans patted me on the shoulder and said, "maybe this is a rebuke from the almighty. So this as a student for the future, do not descend your mistakes on your current wife. Treat him well." I only smiled with Hans' words, if he knew my wife's present nature. I'm sure he would never say that to me.
...
tomorrow, I plan to go out with my mom. It just so happened that today I took a leave of absence, I wanted to take him to the top. It's been a long time since I went for a walk with him
"Don't, I'd like to go for a walk with both of you. You're home, you clean up the house."
"No! I want to come, when I'm left at home anyway. I'm going for a walk too." He kept whining like a child.
"It's not that you've often traveled alone, almost every day you walk. Not even my mother you've been with." Suddenly his face pouted. I know he's disappointed.
"Mas, you're not thinking. I take a walk with my friends, they all look fashionable. When I brought your mother who appeared rich people camp-" Ayu said to a halt as my eyes glared at her, I knew what she wanted to say, " ... The point is I'm taking a walk to the top with you." Yes, Allah. Why is he so stubborn, I'm sure. I wouldn't agree if Ayu went for a walk.
"Where are you going? It's really neat." He looked astonished by Ayu's current appearance.
"You go to the same summit as Mas Gibran. Wh why? Any issues?" In an instant, my mother immediately looked at me cynically. I could only bow with my mother's gaze. I can no longer do anything but obey Ayu's will.
"Heh, listen yeah. I want to go to the top, but it's just the two of us. Me and Gibran, you're an outsider. Why come along."
"What, an outsider? Ma'am, I'm this, Mas Gibran's wife. How come you said it was rich."
"From you on, take a walk. You better be at home, anyway when I have come home from the top, the house must be neat. It's clean!" Ayu snickered her lips, whichever way she wanted to do homework. "You should be a good ghost. My daughter-in-law Bella, she was a diligent ghost, always helping me with homework. Help take care of me."
"What a maid Ma'am." Mom and I gasped in shock, "not the same as me with Bella, the former mother-in-law who had been thrown away. If the model of Bella's rich daughter-in-law, you can use her energy to take care of the house, if I, don't expect that. I don't want to be treated like Bella, my parents never told me to take care of the house. Why after marrying Mas Gibran I have to be babu." Can't stand Ayu's mouth, my mother immediately went forward and wanted to slap Ayu's mouth. But I kept my mother from getting emotional.
"Mom, don't get emotional." I shook my head, I don't want to make a fuss Ayu went home to his parents and I also picked him up. “Bu, hold emotions. We better go for a walk. For Ayu's business let me take care of.” You can just shut up and obey my words.
In the end, the three of us walked to the top. While my mother was still pouting because Ayu still forced to come to the top. It should be the moment of these streets to be the thing that makes me happy, in fact makes me more dizzy because of these two people.
It takes 2 hours to reach the top, as it is a holiday as well. It turns out that many tourists are present here with their extended families, here a lot of children play. Seeing the children playing, I remembered Arka, how my son was.
Even when he reached the top, Ayu immediately went out of nowhere. Lazy to think of Ayu, I decided to take a walk with my mother while looking at the beautiful scenery in the vast tea garden.
"Mom, let's take a picture first."
"Yuk." When I was busy taking pictures of my mother in the tea garden. Suddenly a little boy hit my leg and fell down, spontaneously I helped him get up. And soothe her not to cry anymore. When I saw his face, I was shocked.
