Not a Widow

Not a Widow
Winged



Today Keenan is ready to return to the office. It has been two weeks since he took time off to not go to the office because he had just lost. Keenan wears his office suit while reflecting in front of the glass.


Keenan is looking for his collection of watches for him to wear today. After choosing a watch Keenan tidied up his appearance. Syafira who had just finished bathing Azka and Azkia looked at Keenan in surprise.


"Tumben wearing a suit? Where are you going, Mas?" Ask Syafira. Keenan looked over and looked at Syafira. "They want to go back to the office. The time of mourning is over so Mas will be back to work again. Lagian Mas cannot leave all the work to Bagas" he replied.


"Well, do you want me to bring breakfast?" Syafira asked Keenan. "No, I can have breakfast at the office. You have to take care of the kids first, right." Her speech.


Syafira nodded, then she tidied up Keenan's collar which was still not neat. "This is if wearing a tie is not the way Mas. I'll fix it first" Syafira tiptoes and justifies Keenan's Tie.


"You are very expert about Tie, Mas aja less like you even though Mas who use" said Keenan while chuckling. Keenan lowered his head while looking at Syafira who was again fixing her tie.


"Well, it's ready, now it's neat, it's handsome. And of course it is ready to go to the office" Syafira said while staring at Keenan. Keenan nodded then pinched Syafira's cheek lightly.


"Thank you for helping me put on the tie. What will he bring home?" Ask Syafira. " Meatballs, Sate, Soto, Chewing gum, oh yes the same winged pads yes Mas"


"A lot, if the food is okay. But what should be the pads too?" Ask Keenan. For the rest of his life he had never bought a woman's sanitary pad. Except baby diapers.


Syafira looked at Keenan with an adorable face. He knew Keenan would not be able to resist if he showed his Puppy Eyes face. "Now it doesn't work yes"


Keenan's words had Syafira's imagination shattered. He pursed his lips. "Let's go Mas, do you want our room to be filled with blood because I don't use pads?" Ask Syafira.


"Jaudah yaudah later Mas buyin. But what was the reward first?' Keenan said as he looked at Syafira. Syafira thought for a while then whispered something in Keenan's ear.


"How Mas, it's very profitable for both of us. Same delicious too. The same goes out and definitely makes a memory" Syafira said to Keenan while blinking one eye.


"That's fine, but promise ya." Syafira nodded her head quickly. "Judah there I went to the office. I want to take care of the children first" he said.


"Yes dear" before leaving Keenan kissed Syafira's forehead first and then began to leave for the office.


On the other hand, Alfon was being bathed by Riya in a special baby bathtub. Mahendra looked at him from a distance. She sees Riya patiently bathing her son.


Coincidentally at that time Riya was cutting pants that she was wearing to the extent of the thighs to make the calf mulushya visible to Mahendra. Mahendra turned his gaze. In his heart he is very special. Mahendra took his car keys to go to his late wife's meal


Not long after, Mahendra was already in front of his wife's grave. He brought the flowers he bought on the side of the road. Mahendra prayed first.


Only then did he put flowers on it. Mahendra's face turned sad. He still did not expect that Mela left him first.


"Hi Ma, Mama how are you there? Sorry papa bari is coming now. Papa wants to tell Mama, Papa has found a mother's milk for Alfon Ma, her name is Riya she is almost similar to mama."


"Riya takes good care of our son Ma, she feeds him wholeheartedly. If you were still here, this happiness would feel complete."


"Ma, Papa misses you so much. I still can't forget my mom until now. Papa has promised Mama not to move to another heart. Papa will do it. Papa will never turn away from mom even if there are other women"


Mahendra pondered for a while; he remembered his friendship with Mela from the first time he had met until now. He still loved Mela very much even though she was gone.


Mahendra's snort could be what it is today if there were no Mela. Mela has always supported Mahendra at Mahendra's lowest. Mahendra was arrested by police for misunderstanding. At that time Mahendra was not Mela's husband.


Mela with all her kindness helps Mahendra get out of jail by paying a ransom to the police. Mahendra was very helpless at the time but Mela was always by his side.


Mela was very instrumental in Mahendra's life. Mahendra is very grateful to be able to get to know Mela and make her his partner. That is why Mahendra does not intend to marry again. His heart was filled with only the name Mela.


Mahendra stared at the already overcast sky. He decided to go home from the rain here. Before returning home Mahendra kissed Mela's tombstone. "Calm down there, Ma, the kids love Mama so much"


Mahendra stood up from his squat and left the cemetery. Meanwhile Riya and Syafira are looking after the children at home.


Alfon was placed in the baby box that Mahendra had just bought yesterday to be placed in the family room. Azka and Azkiah looked at Alfon in it.


"What was your relationship with Mela when she was alive?" Riya asked arrived while watching the children.  Syafira turned her head and looked at Riya.


"Why does my aunt ask that?" Ask her. "Tante just wants to know" Riya replied. Syafira lowered her head staring at the floor below...


"Mama Mela is very good with me Tan, she is my second mother after my own" Syafira replied. He felt sad when he lost Mela. No more mother-in-law who always gives good advice.


"It seems, your father-in-law also loves him very much" said Riya arrived. Syafira raised her eyebrows together. "Why does aunty say that? Does aunt like papa?" Ask Syafira.


"Tante doesn't know, aunt just likes it when she sees Mahendra. But maybe this can not be called like as well. Maybe the aunt just feels amazed doang" said Riya


From the outside of the door Mahendra listened to everything. He doesn't know what to do after knowing that Riya likes him. Mahendra opened the door of the house while saying his greetings


Riya and Syafira who saw Mahendra's arrival were shocked. Riya was afraid that Mahendra would hear her conversation with Syafira. He acted as if there was no talk with Syafira.


"Where's the man from?" Tabya Syafira when she saw Mahendra. Mahendra closed the door again and approached Syafira and Ria and sat down on the sofa.


"Papa has just returned from your mother's grave" Mahendra replied. Syafira nodded in understanding while Riya just silently did not speak. "How's Alfon doing today?" Mahendra asked Riya.


"Ah she is good, today she has been drinking for three times" Riya replied with a stiff smile on Mahendra. Mahendra saw Riya's strange gurgle but remained silent.


"I'll take Alfon for a while" Mahendra picked Alfon up from the baby box and took him away. Riya breathed a sigh of relief after Mahendra left.


"Aunty; does aunty not feel that papa has heard everything?" Syafira asked Riya. Riya just shrugged her shoulders. He himself also did not know the answer to Syafura's question.

Keenan checked the proposal submitted by one of his employees, Keenan crossed out the parts that needed to be repaired and justified it. His round glasses perched on his nose firmly.


Keenan pinched the base of his nose. After a long time not in the office makes his work very piled up. If not helped by Bagas, maybe Keenan still has not finished it.


A few hours at the office makes Keenan feel tired especially soon he will also take care of his papa office. Keenan must have been busy.


The door of the room arrived on tap from the outside, Keenan told him to come in. Meanwhile, a woman who looked like a kumel came to see him.


The woman only smiled faintly and then she knelt before Keenan. "I'm sorry sir, please make up for my past mistakes. I'm sorry that I kidnapped and nearly harmed my father's son" she said.


Keenan smiled cynically. "Now are you sorry? How did you feel after you were in prison? Not delicious? Or to go again. Lumaulyan you get a free place to stay" said Keenan


The woman was Alesha, the one who had groomed him in the past. The woman is also obsessed with herself. "Also sir, I'm really sorry."


"Actually I can forgive you as long as you also have to apologize with my wife. Because he is the one you are wretched for your madness" Keenan said.


"I'll apologize sir, but please forgive me." Keenan stood up from his chair then looked at Alesha. "Go I forgive you and I hope you're really sorry and apologise to my wife or I'll add to your suffering again" Keenan said.


"Well sir" replied Alesha. Keenan told Alesha to leave her room immediately. Keenan needed a break; he decided to sleep on the sofa of his room.

A few hours later the office hours had arrived; keenan decided to go home soon. But before that he plans to go to the supermarket to buy Syafira pads.


Keenan runs his car and goes to the nearest supermarket from his office. After arriving there he went into the supermarket and looked for what Syafira had ordered.


"Search what?" Ask a male cashier to Keenan. The cashier looked at Keenan like he was confused. "I'm looking for Mas's bandage" he said. The male cashier was astonished to hear Keenan sowing the pads


"Buy the sanitary pad for yourself?" Ask curiously. Keenan looked at Mas and replied. "It's not for me Mas, but bust my wife" he replied.


Honestly, Keenan was a little embarrassed to say that. But he threw his shame far away. Gymnastics pregnant women just he is not shy, the purchase of pads for his wife Keenan embarrassed.


"What type are you looking for?" Said the cashier to Keenan. "I'm looking for a sanitary pad that can fly" Keenan replied. "Huh? Bandages where can fly Mas" said yes.


"My wife needs a winged Bandage, automatically if the winged it can certainly fly. Well please find me that sanitary pad. I don't know much about pads" Keenan replied.


"Follow me Mas" Keenan admired. Then the cashier brought the keenan to the shelf that contains various types of pads. Keenan touched one of them


"Softex, protex, if the kutex brand there is no Mas, this flat bandage using tex as long as I look for what I'm looking for Mas if there is?" Keenan.


"Where is Mas? Just take this one. What size do you want?"


"My wife's body is skinny Mas, which I aja deh size"


In the heart of the officer laughed at Keenan for his foolishness in looking for a sanitary pad. The cashier picked up a pad that was in accordance with Keenan's request.


"Let's just pay" he told Keenan. Keenan nodded then he followed the cashier to pay for his groceries. "How much is the total?".


"15 thousand only" he said. Keenan took his credit card out of his wallet because he had no cash. Then Keenan handed the card to the cashier.


After swiping it the officer returned it to Keenan and gave the dressing with a plastic bag.


"Other times available who can fly, do not have wings but can not fly. Kan free. If anyone can fly, tell me. I bought everything, ' Keenan said before leaving.


The cashier just scratched his head that didn't itch. Just this time he found a buyer like Keenan. He shook his head then opened the tiktok app and swayed in a young mama style.


After going to the supermarket, Keenan went around town to buy another order of Syafira. Although the clock still shows at 5 pm, but already many traders who sell various kinds of food on pinggie street.


Keenan saw Syafira's order note on his mobile phone, he did not want to miss a bit. Because the gift he will get from syafira is very tempting.


 meatballs, meatballs,


Satay, satay,


 Soto,


 Chewing gum, gum,


the winged bandage"


"So live meatballs, satay, sama soto doang nih.   Why did not you buy gum anyway" Keenan said when reading Syafira's order list.


Keenan chose to buy meatballs, soto and satay first. While waiting for the food to be made, Keenan went to a shop across the street to buy Syafira gum.


"Sir, is there gum?" Ask the shop owner. "How much do you want to buy?" The owner asked Keenan. "Buy three packs, sir" said Keenan again.


"Well Mas' the shop owner immediately took three packs of gum and wrapped it in a plastic bag. "This is Mas" he said, handing it over to Keenan. "How many sir?" Tanua Keenan's.


"Twenty-five thousand aja Mas" Keenan reached into his wallet but he forgot if Keenan had no cash. In his wallet there was only his credit card. "Why Mas?"


"Mother can accept credit cards? I do not bring cash sir" he said while staring at the owner of the store. "No Mas, I don't use that.  Keenan was confused as to what to pay him with while he had no cash.


'If you do not bring cash, you do not have to pay Mas. I sincerely give it to Mas" said the store owner. Keenan was surprised to hear it. "Really sir?" Ask. "Yes Mas"


"Then thank you very much sir" Keenan told the store owner" after which Keenan will take another order. "Bakso, satay and soto"


"This bag is meatballs, satay and sotonya are ready" said the seller. "I'm sorry sir but I don't have cash, how yes sir I only have a credit card" said Keenan.


"Oh no need Mas, I don't sell it to Mas. I gave. This Mas used to nolongin us, who paada sell at the red light of satpol pp who wants to destroy our goods"


"Oh so the father of this seller at that time?" Ask him "Iya Mas, as a thank you we want to give this only for Mas' said the seller satay.


"Thank you very much sir, I pray that the rizkj of the father of all will be more smoothly'


"Amiin" they all answered.


after that, Keenan came with all the orders of Syafira. He put all the food and sanitary pads in his car and then he went inside and rushed home.


upon arrival at home, the house in a state of loneliness. Mahendra and Riya are not home and Keenan does not even hear the voice of his children that he usually hears every day.
