Silence of a Son-in-law

DSM-21

Upon arriving at home, I immediately entered the room because I still felt annoyed at Mother Sumarni. More precisely, for what Mother Sumarni did to me. It made me feel embarrassed in public even though I was sure that some people would judge Sumarni badly. But still my heart was upset by it. 

I really don't want to do anything but lie down. I played my phone, but suddenly my heart felt like it was going to look at Mas Ashraf's social account. 

My coco-soul thrashed. 

Soon I opened my social media account and checked Mas Ashraf's sosmed account. Just like we used to be, we are still friends. I know, Mas Ashraf doesn't really like to play social media. Just limited to having so as not to be out of date. 

When I just opened the account homepage, I immediately fell silent when I saw the photo of Mas Ashraf—ah, more precisely the photo of the man's wedding with Yuni. It wasn't Mas Ashraf's account that uploaded it, but Yuni's and marked my ex-husband's account. 

The smiles of the two brides were sparkling happily. 

Kudes*hkan my breathing roughly into the air. It turned out that it was true that Mas Ashraf was already married to Yuni. That's fast. We separated not long ago. 

"Gee!" I turned my head to expel my own thoughts. I cursed myself who was thinking about Mas Ashraf when I should not care about him anymore. I would love to write a comment there, but I don't want to look flashy. Finally, I deleted my account friendship with Mas Ashraf. I even blocked it. 

It was enough that everything had to completely end without rest even though there was still a remnant of love between us. I'm sure it's because it's not easy to erase the love that once grew.

"Yeah." 

"Who?" I asked from inside the house when I heard someone calling. Immediately I put the dishwasher in the sink, then rushed to the front room. 

How shocked I was to see Elmira standing at the door. The girl's lips smiled as well as mine. We also hugged each other tightly. 

"That, Ra. There, they're all denouncing you. He said you were very stubborn and brave to Sumarni's mother. That's why you're divorced, "against Elmira. 

I breathed my breath in. "Leave it, El. I'm sure one day they'll get their payback. If one could think using reason, one would blame Mas Ashraf. Look, we've only been divorced for two months, but Mas Ashraf is married again." 

"Yes, anyway. Tuh, what a weird guy." 

I chuckled at Elmira who kept grumbling. Especially if he gets to my position, it will definitely nag relentlessly.

"yeah, El. Don't grumble mulu. I'm sincere now. I better organize my life again and focus on pleasing myself. At least now I'm free, El." I smiled happily.

"Yes, Ra. How about you come with me to work in the city. Rather than here," asked Elmira. 

My lips were immediately shut tight. There's a worry I feel. If I had to ask Mas Ashraf for permission, but not anymore. I am free to travel anywhere.  

"Ra, indeed, heck. In our city will only be a maid, at least there is not like in the village. We're free to do anything without any lambe nyinyir like your Mother-in-law." 

"I no longer have a Mother-in-Law" I said annoyed. 

Elmira laughed out loud. "Ah, yes. I forgot that you're no longer the queen's daughter-in-law."

Oh my God, Elmira just mentioned Sumarni's mother. 

Afterwards, I asked Elmira for time to think things through. I had to ask my parents for a solution first. Elmira agrees and gives until next week because the girl will return to the city. If I can, then I will leave with Elmira.
