Silence of a Son-in-law

DSM-32

"Du-Two? So, Mr Danu is a two-child widower? Uh!" 

My mother patted my lips slowly. 

"Don't worry about you, Ira." My mom started to snort. I can only grunt too. 

I see Mr. Danu who still has a flat face, while Mama Pak Danu smiles knot. 

"My son is a widower, but has no children yet" said Aunt Anjani. 

I exhaled a sigh of relief. It turns out we both have no children. I also chuckled to myself in my heart. Using the method of fitlogi, between widows and widows who both do not have children. Fits right? Haha. I want to laugh with my own thoughts. 

"I don't think your son is married, Anjani. If your son is a widower, very fitting with my daughter who is a widow," said my mother opened my card. 

Pestilent. 

Look at Mr. Danu and Aunty Anjani seen rounding their eyes fully. They were just as surprised as I was. Immediately I lowered my head when I realized Mr. Danu's gaze was pointing at me.

I was wrong, right. 

In between the two women chat about the status of their widowed and widowed children. The embarrassed me could only bow while eating my food. Pretending not to hear their conversation. 

After half an hour of that shitty scene, we finally got home. I can breathe a sigh of relief. At least, I stopped being a topic of conversation besides that I did not look wrong in front of Mr. Danu.

"Yras. So, you work at Danu's? Geez, it's a coincidence" my mother said as we entered the house. 

Kuhela took a long breath. "Why, Mom? Don't tell me you want to fool us. Ira does not want to. Ira still wants to be free and doesn't want to be tied to anything."

My mother looked at me when she heard me. I'm sure that woman will definitely nag. Before the woman got angry, I preferred to go into the room and sleep. Tomorrow is still working as usual and I also have to strengthen my mentality to meet Mr. Danu after the incident. 

My God, I can't imagine how I'll behave tomorrow when I come face to face with Mr. Danu.

"Yeah." 

I was nervous, while arranging the goods in the storefront, the voice of Mr. Danu called. I got up and looked at the man. I don't know why, I feel like his eyes look different. 

"Follow into my room" he ordered. 

"U-for what?" many fear.

Instead of answering, Mr. Danu just stepped away. By force, I also tailed behind. When entering the room of Mr. Danu, the atmosphere suddenly tense. My body suddenly got cold and sweaty. I don't know why, I'm afraid Mr. Danu will say a no-no. 

"Ira," he called her down. "Have you been a widow for a long time?" 

I'm confused how to answer Mr. Danu's question. 

"Em, sorry. Looks like my question is too presumptuous. Don't answer if you don't like it" he said.

I looked at her face that looked nervous. Funny too. His face usually looks bad. 

"No papa, sir. I'm still a flower widow, sir. Just a few months ago divorced." 

Why do I feel like a flirtatious woman. Immediately I closed my mouth because of leaches, but look, Mr. Danu actually smiled widely.

"That means widow of anget, yes." 

Uh, wait a minute. What did Danu say, widow angel? 

"Abget like round tofu, yes, sir." I joked back so the atmosphere would not be tense. 

"You like to joke too." Mr. Danu started smiling again and the atmosphere was relaxed. "Why are you getting divorced? I thought you were a good woman." 

I'm really upset by Mr. Danu's question that could have made a misunderstanding. 

"I'm a good woman, sir. What's not good is my husband, uh my ex-husband," I said in the end. 

Mr. Danu's forehead looks shriveled deep. "Why is that?" ask Mr. Danu. 

"Yes, it's okay. How can a good husband if he has the heart to play behind and cheat. In fact, now my ex-husband is enjoying a period of cravings with his new wife. That's what yesterday bought a baby mattress here, which Mr. Danu said I was not friendly to customers. That's my ex-husband and his new wife." 

I chatted all that time unconsciously.
