At 08 a.m., Adeela was still under the covers. His soul thrashed. Between going to the store or staying in this comfortable position. Lately, he doesn't recognize himself. Lazy shower, mageran, fall, and scroll social media applications. But for the success of the business he has pioneered, inevitably he must go to his store.
Adeela is done getting ready. He was ready to go to his shop. Before he left, he did not forget to eat breakfast first. This routine should not be abandoned, he said. Because it will affect morning activity and consistency if you miss this routine.
Adeela sat at the dinner table alone. At the table, Mbok Sumi has prepared his favorite chocolate milk and sandwitch. He eats quietly. Very calm even. To the extent that he did not realize that from earlier Mbok Sumi had noticed him. Because the mouth of Mbok Sum who had been thrashing, he finally opened his voice.
"Non Adeela seems to be getting happier, huh!" He said while showing his smile to his master. Continuing to continue his activities in the kitchen.
"Mbok is now switching professions to become a psychic, huh?" Candanya responded to Mbok Sumi's talk while continuing to eat.
"Not a psychic, Non. But if people say that, anyway, Non. The more contained a person's body, it means that the person's life is happy. Not much of a thought, Nope."
"Ah, Mbok Sum, you can. Where can a person's happiness be measured from the shape of his body that is increasingly contained. Mbok mah, there's-there's just."
Mbok Sumi smiled wrapping hearing the words of her employer. True too, said his master. A person's happiness is not measured by how developed and wide the shape of the body. But happiness is measured by how a person is able to enjoy and love his life and always thank the creator for what has been given to him.
"Indeed... My body is wider, yes, Mbok?" His question began to be affected by Mbok Sum's remarks.
"Yes, Non! Adeela's mother looks full. His face is getting brighter. There's happiness on his face, Non."
Adeela no longer listened to what Mbok Sumi said. It was now focused on his mind that had been creeping everywhere. But soon Adeela got rid of that thought.
Returning to his initial routine, after breakfast, 30 minutes later he had arrived at his cake shop. Mornings like this, the buyers are still lacking. Adeela also chose to sit in the cashier seat while accompanied by employees who served in the cashier section.
"Good morning and welcome to our cake shop!" Greet the employees when there is a buyer walking into their cake shop.
Adeela who was facing forward also took a glance at the middle-aged female visitor who had just entered her cake shop. But the appearance of a middle-aged woman whose age had passed half a century immediately made her round her eyes.
"Mama..." His words softly watched the middle-aged woman.
"Please, which cake would you like, ma'am?" Ask the employee to the woman
The middle-aged woman who carries the latest famous bag output also began to approach the rows of cakes that have been arranged beautifully in the display case. In the style of a socialite woman, the middle-aged woman was choosing some type of cake that she would order.
"I want this too..." The middle-aged woman's words stopped talking as her eyes caught the look of someone she was very familiar with.
"Adeela!" He said in a loud voice making sure someone was in front of the cashier's desk. It caught the attention of Adeela's employees. With questions in their heads.
Adeela's been found out. His intention to avoid, but already seen by his former in-laws. Oh, that's it, if it's like this. As much as he avoids, surely the people who used to be in his life circle will one day meet him. And forever avoiding is not the best way.
The middle-aged woman was his former in-law. The mother of a man named Farhan Fahruzi. Someone who has made his life a roller coaster.
Adeela wanted to show a little respect to her former in-laws by trying to extend her hand to shake her hand. But his hand was not accepted. Adeela pulled her hand back and put it beside her body.
"You asked me about my news? Not wrong, you? He said with his cynical face. Adeela could only pay attention to the words and gestures of her former father-in-law. "What you should be asking is that it's my son! How's he doing after you played with his life like that! Women don't know themselves!" Sarcasm said.
Playing with his life, he said. Adeela slightly disagreed with that sentence. The one toying with here is Farhan! Farhan has been toying with her life and all this time has made her a puppet behind her affair with Kyla.
"Sorry, aunt, we better talk while sitting at the table. Or if auntie wants, we can talk heart to heart in my room. How, auntie wants to?"
"Ck, I don't want to. Just let us be here, let the people all know about the mask you're wearing!"
Adeela sighed and closed her eyes for a few seconds. His head was suddenly dizzy from the situation. As much as possible Adeela held him.
"It's good if we just talk there, Auntie." Point it at the table in the corner of the room. After a long argument, Mama Rike finally agreed. Adeela did not want her private life to become public consumption. Even if it's the employees of the store themselves.
As they had sat silence occurred for a while. Until finally Adeela who started the chat first.
"Before, I want to apologize if in the past when he was a daughter-in-law of Aunt, Adeela had it wrong..." Not yet Adeela finished talking, Mama Rike has cut her.
"Your fault is a lot. Especially my son! Because of what you did, my son's life became messy, disorganized. His work became messy and spent more time looking for your whereabouts! Do you realize, you've ruined my son's life! You shouldn't have been in my son's life!"
"It should have been a long time ago, I resisted vehemently when Farhan wanted you to be his wife whose origins were unclear!"
Oh, okay. It was enough that Adeela heard those opposite words from earlier. Like a dagger that cuts his heart invisible. But he can feel the pain up to the bones. Why should he be this sad. Life is sometimes unfair. The status that he closed tightly so as not to look too pathetic was finally revealed. Adeela endured the turmoil inside her chest.
"Aunty should have said gini, 'I'm sorry my son, your life is a mess'. Not even attacking me with those words. Who's wrong here, Auntie? Me or Auntie's son?" No response from Aunt Rike. "I hope my aunt knows the real problem. So that Aunt can use logic to deduce who is wrong and who is the real victim. During my time as Farhan's wife, I was very obedient and took care of myself for my beloved husband. I gave my heart to Farhan. But unfortunately my heart turned out to be meaningless for Auntie's son. The loyalty I entrusted to Auntie's son turned out to be tainted by perverted lust. I was just a stupid clown. And the impact on my son, Auntie! My son...Nurhan.!"'s search...!" Huh, escaped already tears that he tried to hold. But all is not that easy to remember about his stupidity and the misfortune of his child.
"Auntie is also a woman. If Aunt is in my position, is Aunt able to endure the pain that will forever imprint it? Answer me, Auntie?" His tears were getting wet on his face. Why does it feel so sick. Why after so long it feels the same. It hurts so much, my God, this crybaby himself. The sad predicate he had buried, finally came to the surface. It was like a dagger piercing right in his heart. Forever his status would be pinned behind him.
Those tears of pain changed with a sudden sense of dizziness. His stomach was very dark and something wet felt flowing down there. Before it actually fell to the floor, it sensed someone who had first held its weight. Everything's dark. He heard screaming sounds from some people. And everything went dark.
