SUFFERING WITH IN-LAWS

Human Calculator

I met Mas Damar at Cafe X alone. But before arriving, I called Sinta first. Afraid that there was something I didn't want, Sinta I asked to catch up with me later.

I went into the cafe that I meant yesterday, because I was the one who recommended this cafe to meet with mas Damar.

I circled the view to the corners but did not see the trunk of his nose mas Damar.

In the parking lot, I didn't see his car or Bianca's.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Now they have no cars. Because Bianca's car has been seized by Handoko sir.

I took the phone in the bag, intending to contact Mas Damar to ask where it is now.

The call rang, but there was still no answer.

I sat down on the empty chair, and called out waiters. Because the throat feels dry, want to drink a fresh drink.

Drinks I ordered, I re-spread the view to all corners of the cafe. But still the result is nil. Mas Damar isn't here.

A few minutes later, the drink I ordered arrived. Mas Damar has not yet arrived.

I was lazy to call her again, as if I needed her. Donk's self-esteem!.

Though at all I was very lazy to see him again after the incident yesterday at my father's house.

"At last you came too, Sarah!," said Mas Damar in the back.

"Mas Damar!," I looked back to see the truth of the voice I heard. Sure enough, it turned out that Mas Damar had just come.

"Why are you so surprised, Sarah?" he asked as he walked toward the empty seat in front of me. And Mas Damar sat opposite me.

"I know from your surprised gaze that there is still my name in your heart." he continued.

"Come on, I've given you a chance to refer me. So you have to really use this opportunity well" he said again.

"Don't let the opportunity get scorched and you regret it later on, Sarah!." He spoke without pause, giving me no time to answer all his words.

"Didn't I say many times to you, if I don't want to go back to you at all, mas Damar!," I said firmly. Because talking to people like Mas Damar needs to be emphasized and straight to the point.

"So I hope this is the last time we'll talk about this. And the answer remains, I won't refer to you!! And if this is the last time you see me, mas!," I'll make my point again. So that mas Damar does not repeat this problem.

"You are indeed a proud woman, a rich pretentious!!, just having a bakery business like that is already doubtful!! I'll make sure you'll regret your decision." he said, staring at me cynically.

"You can't stop me from meeting you. Because until whenever you and I will definitely be met. Because among us there is Kean who also needs my affection." continued with a smile that I could not understand. Because the look in my eyes makes me very uncomfortable.

"If you look around, now you're getting more beautiful Sarah." her words made me uncomfortable.

"Why weren't you like this?, if you used to be like this. Maybe that khilaf will never happen" he said, staring at me. And I purposely turned my eyes away from looking into her eyes.

Because there is an amused and more ilfeel with the attitude of mas Damar.

"I really hope you'll come back with me. I promise you I'll make you queen of my house."

"Where have you been all this time, mom?. Why did you realize my existence? you said what you did was an error? If I think it's not a khilaf. But it's your hobby, man!!!,"

"How many times do I have to tell you, if in fact I am a khilaf!!!, I did that is also not entirely my fault. You also share with my former mistakes. Since you couldn't even get dressed at the time, it made me lazy to look at you!!."

"It's not because I can't dress up, mom!! Just so you know, good bad and beautiful ugly wife is in the hands of the husband. So if the husband allows and provides all the needs of the wife to take care of themselves, the wife will look beautiful" I said with great annoyance. He blames me for not being able to take care of himself.

"Don't take care of yourself, the money for shopping that is eaten every day for his family is rarely given. Not infrequently, but almost never!!!," I continued in a soft but stressed voice.

"You don't slander me for not making a living, Sarah!! Some of my salary I've given to my mom, not just some. Sometimes I give almost all of my salary to my mom for the family meal!!!, so don't talk about never giving you money!!!," this time Mas Damar was very emotional, can be seen from the way he talked and his eyes glared at me.

"Heh!!," my decak.

"I've never slandered you, mom! From your words it is clear that you duku never provide me at all. You only gave money to your mother, not to me who was still your wife. So the question is, at that time your wife was me or your mother, mas?!!" I'm no less upset with what Damar said. He is pretending to be bod*h what is really bod*h. So it can not distinguish where the living for his wife and money for his parents.

Mas Damar added the emotion of hearing my words, he stood up and raised his right hand. I know the meaning and purpose of Mas Damar, swiftly fending off his hand that almost landed on my left cheek.

"Once you do violence to me, I don't hesitate to drag you to the police station!!," I threatened.

"Why I used to give all the money the house needs to mama, it's because you can't handle the finances. The money you hold is gone. That's why I gave the money to my mom, because she's more experienced than you" she said in a soft voice.

"As much as you are, now you and I have no relationship. So I don't think we should talk about it in the past, because it's going to make me hurt you even more. Can divorce with you alone I am very happy." I said with a long sigh after the end of the sentence.

"Then I go home first. I don't think anything else has been discussed between us. For Kean's problems you can meet him, but never take him. If you want to meet Kean, you can call me. I'll have Uncle Udin drive Kean to meet you. This way, you and I don't have to see each other again."

I can't be selfish, I don't want to because my selfishness Kean didn't get the affection of his real father. With me allowing Mas Damar to meet with Kean, so that Kean can get his right to get affection from his biological father. And mas Damar can fulfill his obligations, giving affection to his biological children.

"So no need to refer, so that you can fulfill your responsibility to Kean." I continued.

I also stood by putting a hundred thousand dollars on the table. And after fixing the strap of the bag that hooked on my shoulder, I stepped out of this cafe.

"Wait...!!,"

Mas Damar stopped my steps,

And I stopped my steps, and looked back at Damar who was still sitting in his place.

"It's not that easy to get away from me, Sarah!!," said Mas Damar this time is very scary. He said with his face down without seeing me.

"Why am I so scared like this?" I said in my heart.

"Now sit back, let's finish everything!!," He's still not looking at me. And I was getting scared, afraid that he would do something to me.

Calming my heart, I sat back in my seat. I try to be calm and relaxed even though this heart has anxiety and fear.

Because if I point to my fear, I'm sure Damar will be easier to suppress.

"You mean not done yet, mas?!," I asked. Because I assume all my business is done when the judge's hammer beats declare I'm legally divorced from her.

If it's Kean's business, that's what won't be finished. Until death, he will be involved with the affairs of Kean his son.

"If you do not want to refer to me, for fear of your parents. I accept your decision. But everything has conditions" he said. Now I speak by looking at me.

"Terms?, you mean, mas?," I honestly don't understand what Damar said about the terms.

And again he thought that I would not refer to him because of the insistence of my parents. But I do not want to refer to it from my own heart.

"Yes, you'll let me go. Just so you qualify me."

"What condition, mas?," there is a sense of want to know, what would be asked by mas Damar to me. If I could I would do it, so I wouldn't be terrorized every day with a text message or a phone call. Because it makes me really uncomfortable.

"You have to reimburse all your living expenses when you were with me first" he said, raising his face and looking at me.

"Well?!,"

Right means what Lidya said to me yesterday. They are indeed a strange family, it could be that the living that was given first is now taken again.

Though he used to not fully support me, because lately I want to separate with him. I already have my own income by selling food online.

It is not me who is blessed, there is me who is determined to support her and all her family.

"You're asking for the compensation you've given me, mas? Which breath do you mean? Didn't the money you gave back to you and your family?! I should be the one who deserves compensation, because the money I make selling food online comes with you and your family eating."

"But I'm not that bad, to ask you for compensation. Because I thought we lived together so what I have is yours. But now I just realized that my mindset was wrong. Supposedly to deal with you and the family who have a calculator brain, I have to follow your calculated way of thinking!," I continued.

I wonder if there are men who have calculator brains like Mas Damar.

"I don't want to know!!! you must replace all my money that I have given you first!!!," snapped mas Damar loudly, so many pairs of eyes were staring at the two of us. Like him he is indeed a man who lost his mind, so do not be ashamed to ask for all of it in public.

"It's like a free spectacle" I said in my heart. Shame now covers me, because of the behavior of Damar.

"Alright, count all the money you spent to support me!, I will return everything cash. But on one condition!!," now I'm the one who gave the requirements to Mas Damar.

He thinks he's the only one with a calculator brain? I can too. He started it, so I followed the way he played.
