My wife's lover

chapter 20

This morning I will start working at Mr. Imron's house. As usual I woke up early and prayed at dawn in the mosque and washed my clothes and the children. After I finished washing clothes, me and the others then had breakfast along with the menu that my mother had prepared at the dinner table. Although my life and the children are still very changeable, but I try not to grieve my two children and try to make them comfortable living in their grandmother's house without a mother figure beside them.

After breakfast, I drove the kids to school. After that, I immediately went to Mr. Imron's house so as not to be late. Up there I began working following the direction of the long-time worker. Thank God because I worked as a builder a few years ago so I've been a little bit able though not too expert. At least I no longer need to be taught.

I work passionately for the sake of my two children. My workmates are fine too. We work with compact. I remember Budi. Me and Budi always compact if working. Thank God during the day, I got lunch rations from Mr. Imron so I no longer need to buy food outside and of course it can make me a little frugal. Five o'clock in the afternoon I just came home.

Thank God I worked for a few days at Mr. Imron's house. My work is going well. And I am very comfortable working there because in addition to the good Mr. Imron, the workers there are also friendly and willing to help each other fellow workers. Really working with a compact team is also a sustenance. Imagine if our coworkers are not fun, of course we will not feel at home working.

One week later after returning from Mr. Imron's house, I rushed to the workshop Mr. Sugi to take my order money last week.

"Alhamdulillah. Thank you, sir," I said gratefully as I received the envelope from Mr. Sugi.

"Sama-sama, Mr. Anto. Hope the recovery is much. Order love continues in my workshop," said Mr. Sugi warmly.

I smiled, "Aamiin. Excuse me first, sir," I said.

Excitedly I went home. Before I go home, I buy food for the children at home. They must want to eat something. The name of the kids would love to snack.

Thank God I have a little bit of savings. I intend to host myself so as not to continue to bother my mother and also not feel good with the right left neighbor because I have been hitchhiking long enough to live in the mother's house.

"Mom, I'm going to take the kids to stay at the boarding house" I told my mother as we were watching television after dinner.

"You sure you want to live in your own boarding house with your kids, To?" ask mother.

"Yes mom, I'm sure. I have to study independently" I explained so that my mother could understand.

"Hmm, fine if it wants you but you better look for a hostel near the mother's house just so that if you work your children can play at home mom and mom can watch over them," mom says.

I nodded my head, "All right, Mom. I'll just find a hostel near here."

What I said was right. I'll calmly leave the kids at mom's house while I work. I don't want anything against my two children without adult supervision.

On Sunday morning, I was with my two children cycling sports all looking for a boarding house. Thank God, both my children have understood that their parents can no longer be together. And they're getting used to living with my mom because when I was with Lisa, my two kids used to stay at her grandmother's house.

After walking around the back alley of my mother's house, I saw the hostels. I took my son there to look around.

"We'll see that hostel, yuk!" take me to the kids.

We went to the hostel and wondered at the owner. The hostel room was clean with a bathroom inside that was spacious enough for us to occupy the three of them just that the room was empty.

My daughter Alya seemed to like her boarding room, "Good yeah, well. Alya likes it."

I then turned to my son, "Mas Andre likes it?" my many.

Andre nodded his head slowly, "Yes, yeah. If Adek Alya likes, mas Andre also likes," replied Andre.

I finally decided to go there. The monthly price is indeed more expensive than in my old boarding house but nothing for the comfort of my baby.

I chose room number 3 because that's all that's left. After giving me the down payment, I went back around, who knew I could get some sustenance, a order for the workshop. After an hour of touring, I did not find any newly built houses.

Because it's Sunday so I decided to move straight away today to the boarding house because tomorrow I can't because I work.

I then took my son to the nearest market to buy equipment at the boarding house. I bought two small mattresses, a stove, dinnerware and cooking utensils. After getting what we were looking for we immediately took our groceries to the boarding house.

After boarding we went home to my mother's house.

"Mom, I've got a hostel close by" I explained to my mother. "So the plan today is also we will move to the boarding house because if tomorrow I can not because I work.

"Hmm, where do you get the hostel?" ask mother.

"Ohh, thank goodness it's close from here. So I can while watching Alya and Andre.

"Yes, ma'am." I said.

I took my two children to transport our belongings. My son's clothes and school equipment.

I was very excited with the help of my mother and sister, we went to the boarding house to clean up. Don't forget I bought food for our lunch because I told my mom not to cook today. After finishing the room, we had lunch together.

***

It doesn't feel like I've been working at Mr. Imron's house for a month, this afternoon I got my first paycheck. Thank God it was more than my salary when I worked at Mr. Toni's shop.

That night I took my children out to eat not to forget I also brought my mother, sister and niece. I rented a taxi online. Andre and Alya are so happy so are my nieces. We ate barfing at a tent stall on the side of the road.

While being engrossed in enjoying a meal, suddenly Alya shouted.

"Mother?" exclaim Alya.

All of us who were eating turned their heads and how shocked we were that my ex-wife and her affair had gone into the tent.

Since the visitor was quite crowded and only the table next to us was empty, Lisa and her mistress ended up sitting there.

Alya looked towards her mother who was showing off her affection with her affair. He really didn't think about how his son felt.

We stopped eating when Lisa came back, and continued our dinner.

Alya was still busy looking at her mother but her mother seemed to not care about Alya's whereabouts. My heart aches to see my daughter who is not cared for by her mother. Maybe my daughter misses her mother. However, there are no former mothers and former children.

I saw my daughter starting to have no taste for food in front of her. I know she must be sad because her mother doesn't care about her.

Unexpectedly, Alya suddenly stood up and approached his mother who was busy eating with her affair.

"Mom?" alya quietly.

Lisa turned towards Alya, "What's the matter?" tanyanya letus's.

"Who is that, mom?" ask Alya.

"Mom's husband!" lisa answered haughtily.

For a moment Alya was silent. He then covered his face with both hands then he ran out of the tent.

I chased him outside the tent. Alya was crying and I immediately hugged my daughter. Has Lisa's maternal sense of Alya just disappeared? I really don't understand.

I asked my sister to pay for our food. After that we immediately went home.all the way Alya still continued to cry even though he had forgotten a little. On the way home, we were all silent and busy with our own thoughts.

I know my two children still need a mother figure. But how else could the marriage of his parents no longer be maintained. I hope I can replace Lisa. I will try to play father and mother for both my children.
