Price of a Daster

Chapter 24 Duda

Gilang was so happy to have Amanda talk at the cafe. Somehow his heart always flowered every time he saw the face of Amanda who seemed natural. The longer she knew Amanda, the more curious she was to get to know the widow of the two children.

"Manda, can I have something?" ask Gilang by looking closely at Amanda's face.

"What do you want to ask, A?" Amanda just kept eating the cookies in front of her.

"How long have you been divorced from your ex-husband?" ask Gilang.

Amanda stopped her meal shortly before she answered what Gilang asked. Although actually he was reluctant to discuss about the failure of his household. In the end he spoke honestly to Gilang.

"A little over a year, A." Amanda replied.

"Oh, it's been a while," muttered Gilang.

"Why really? A Gilang himself why not the same holiday wife?" ask Amanda later.

"I am a widower, my wife left when Heaven was one year old. He's more interested in blue-eyed men than I am" Silang's circus.

"Sorry A, I didn't mean to bring up your past." Amanda felt sorry for what she asked.

"It's okay, you should also know so that there are no misunderstandings later on." She smiled when she saw Amanda feeling guilty.

"Manda, may I know the cause of your divorce?" It's like detectives keep asking about Amanda's life.

"There's a third party in my marriage" Amanda said. The pain came back every time someone asked about her marriage.

"Sorry Manda, if my question offends you." Gilang can feel the pain that Amanda felt because she was also in Amanda's position at the beginning of the separation with her mother Sky.

"I don't really like to talk about my marriage failing, because it just reopens my old wounds." Amanda lowered her head.

Shortly thereafter, Tania comes along with Rama and the children. There are two large pockets on the left right of Rama's hand. He deliberately bought a lot of snacks so that the children were a henchman when he later took prewedding photos.

"Yes pardon! You guys want to sell, bring that much snacks?" ask Amanda to flirt with Rama.

"Yes selling! Later who bought Kia, Sky and Azka," replied Rama by pretending to be upset.

"Dede's fussy, Tan?" ask Amanda later.

"No kho! We took odong-odong!" Tania replied with a happy smile. How unhappy, she feels like a mother who is looking after her three children. Moreover, Rama looks so fond of children.

"Papa, the sky wants to play sand but does not want to invite the sister. He wants to be close to the Sky constantly," point the Sky at Kia.

"We want to be friends with Sky Brother" Defa Kia.

"I don't like being friends with women! Bothering," to the Sky.

Kia immediately rushed into the arms of her mother when she received rejection from the Sky.

Getting an unusual call from his papa, Heaven lowered his head. The seven-year-old was always scared when his father spoke coldly to him, because it meant his father was angry with him. It is certain that in the next few days, Sky will definitely not meet Gilang. The little boy misses his father all the time.

"Sorry, Pah!" say Sky.

"Quick apologize to Kia!" tell Gilang still with a flat tone.

The sky was simply obeying what his father had said. As long as he could always be with his father, the seven-year-old would definitely do whatever Gilang said. Even though he doesn't like it.

"Kia, I'm sorry! Let's be friends!" The sky immediately extended its hand inviting shaking hands to Kia. Which was immediately greeted with a sweet smile by the five-year-old girl.

"Sky, play sand tomorrow morning! It's getting dark, we better get in the room to clean up." Rama instantly melted the slightly tense atmosphere.

"Yes, come on, come on, Auntie! Azka asked to come down and want to be with her mother," Tania took her directly to lead Kia and brought her to the room.

Amanda and the others soon follow Tania to the room. Once there, Tania helps Amanda bathe Kia. Amanda bathed Azka herself. When everything is neat, it is now the turn of adults who clean themselves alternately.

At night, the children have fallen asleep, now the adults who are busy enjoying the night breeze on the balcony of the room. Amanda looked far ahead, her mind was drifting into her past while she was still in a period of courtship with Apandi. At that time a friend of the boarding house he took her on vacation to Pangandaran. Of course, Amanda invited Apandi to come along. So does Tania who invites her boyfriend to take a vacation. However, between the two friends is only Amanda whose relationship reaches the marriage stage. While Tania, had broken up since they were still together in college.

"Manda, I remember when we were on vacation in Pangandaran. Do you still remember?" ask Tania.

"of course! I never thought, Mas Pandi who used to be calm, kind and caring will change after he became a person." Remember Amanda.

"Male likes it so, when he already has a treasure and a throne then the temptation is women. Manda, why do I remember Sandy! I broke up with him because I got caught on Ivan's road. And you know me and Ivan are just friends." Tania also reminisces about their blue days.

"You're too welcome to be a guy, so they misunderstood us. Ivan thinks you like him" explained Amanda.

Amanda and Tania dissolve in chatter reminiscing about their youth. Until the voice of Tania's phone stopped the conversation of the two friends. Tania slightly moved away from Amanda to receive a phone call from Rama. When he had enough to talk, he also said goodbye to his best friend to meet Rama who was waiting for him in front of the door of the hotel room.

"Manda, I'm out first! A Rama is waiting outside" said Tania.

"Don't be too late, Tan! Remember, you can't unseal before halal!" Amanda immediately gave a warning to her best friend. He did not want Tania to be lulled and give something valuable in her life to Rama. Even though they're getting married soon.

"Yes Mother! You take it easy, A Rama is not strange kho. He has great respect for women. I want to kiss him for permission first," complained Tania.

"What the hell, Tan? It looks like that slebor, it turns out to be polite, too" said Amanda.

"It's Akh, I'm leaving! You're also careful that the Boss suddenly goes into the room."
