Silence of a Son-in-law

Silence of a Son-in-law
DSM-30



"Damn me today." 


I threw the bag over the bed and threw my body in there. This whole day's been making me really badmood.


Falling on top of Mr. Danu's body as in the soap opera, meet with Mas Ashraf and Yuni. Not to mention, Mr. Danu who nagged me for serving customers less than the maximum. If Mr. Danu knew that the one I served was my ex-husband, there would be another order from Mr. Danu. 


Uh, but what does it matter to Mr. Danu? Isn't that not important. Who wants to come in contact with what I am, it is definitely a satisfying service that must be maximized. 


Don't be too pampered, Ira.


I digress in my own heart. For some reason, from the first time I saw Mr. Danu, it was like there was a strong magnet in my heart that made me always be imagined by the man. 


I don't want to get late in my bad thoughts. I better get a towel and clean myself up before dinner with my family. I even forgot that tonight we were going to eat out. The newly paid father deliberately invited us to eat at the Lesehan stall.

"I'd like to order you super spicy, ma'am." 


I ordered my favorite food a long time ago. Any food that is very spicy is always a medicine if my heart is not sure. That's why I feel lucky right now. When my mood was not okay, my family took me out to eat. Without a second thought, I just straight away.


"Don't be too spicy, Ira. Love your stomach" my mother advised. 


"If it's not spicy don't taste, Mom. Less nampol," I said of origin. Yes, but that was my honest answer. I am one of the spicy human lovers. 


They did not answer again, only when ordering, Mother asked for my order just spicy not super spicy. 


Ah, it's okay. At least someone can restore my good mood. 


Em, nothing's wrong, anyway. All are free to eat anywhere, but for the size of a young businessman like Mr. Danu, usually the place to eat is a fancy restaurant and the hangout is famous cafes. 


Ah, stupid time. Why if it is related to Mr. Danu, I always think so far. If likened to Sabang to Merauke. Yes, lebay too. 


I had to smile at Mr. Danu. It seems that the man was also shocked by my existence. Just look, his face looked surprised, but it forced his smile. Mr. Danu did not come alone, but with a middle-aged woman who I suspected was his mother. Their faces are very similar to mine. 


Just limited to throwing a smile at each other has made the atmosphere suddenly awkward especially if we eat at the same table. I can't imagine what I'm going to be. 


Uh, wait a minute. Why did that woman leave Mr. Danu and come to my desk. I also suddenly felt nervous. Suddenly feeling anxious to make me feel like I want to poop, but I hold back. 


"Sukini." 


I looked up when I heard the woman call my mother's name. Don't tell me that ....


"Oh my goodness, Anjani. Is this you? Oh, my God, how are you?" 


The two women hugged each other tightly, while I just threw a gaze towards Mr. Danu. It seems like we are both confused by the behavior of two middle-aged women who are currently still hugging friendly. 


"Oh my goodness, Sukini. I've been looking for you for a long time. Finally, we can meet again." 


"of course. Looks like we are destined to be friends until forever," said my mother is no less enthusiastic. 


Wait a minute, this is really hard for the brain to digest. How could my mother and her mother Mr. Danu turned out to be close friends. 


I really can't believe this.
