The Mistaken Son-in-law

CHAPTER 65

Pov (Author)

Ryan stared sadly at the house he had spent nearly seven years in with his little family. When he first bought the house, he hoped that he and Bella would see their children grow up, get married and give them grandchildren. They both lived in this house until death, but now that beautiful dream has been lost.

After giving the house keys to the house owners, he and Maira left the housing complex using their motorbike. Not much stuff just his two suitcases and Maira tied in the seat, as well as the school backpack Maira wore, while Maira was piggybacked in the front.

During the trip Ryan could not hold back his tears, Maira was just silent. At the age of six, she was forced by circumstances to understand her parents. He understood that his father was bankrupt, his mother left them and now he and his father had to leave their house and live in his mother's house.

Not long after traveling for about an hour, they finally arrived at Bu May's house. Ryan parked his motorcycle in his mother's yard, after unloading the suitcase from the motorbike, he and Maira said their greetings and knocked on his mother's door.

"Assalamu'alaikum ma'am open the door, it's Ryan"

Not long after the door was opened by Ms. May, she was shocked to see her son coming with his granddaughter with a suitcase.

"What's this why you guys brought suitcases?" Mom May asked confused.

"Later you ask, Maira and I are tired. Let us rest first". Ryan answered and then took Maira to their usual room when they stayed at the house of Miss May, it was also Ryan's room when she was single. While Ryan walked into Arya and Aisyah's former room, it was so dusty. Ryan had to clean up first before putting him to rest.

So many questions he wanted to ask, what else did he not see Ryan's car and they came just using a motorbike butut. He wants to ask Ryan for money.

***

At nightfall, Ryan and Maira leave the room because Miss May calls them to dinner. There is no talk between the three of them, Maira is usually cheerful and chattering is just silent. Just the sound of eating utensils, but the mouth of Bu May was itching to ask a lot of things to Ryan.

After finishing Maira's meal back to her room, Ryan will take her to her new school tomorrow.

Ryan was sitting in the living room with Ms. May. There has been no conversation between the two of them.

"Rani where's Mom?" Ryan began the conversation.

"He now works as a car salesman, he also has to spend so that he can be close to his workplace". Lighted Miss May.

"If he works, how does he go to college, Mom?" Ask Ryan again.

"Where to go to college, he's working so he can live alone and mom. Arya is stingy because of the incitement of his wife, while you have never sent mother money. I don't know what your reason is". Miss May answered. Actually, if he is not wasteful, of course, money from Arya is more than enough, basically, Ms. May is not grateful.

Ryan simply did not respond to the babble of his mother, until he accidentally dropped a brown envelope on the table when he wanted to take the TV remote. He took the envelope and read the cover.

He was surprised to see the inscription on the envelope that came from the religious court. He immediately took out the contents and read it which made him no less surprised. It turns out it was a divorce from Bella, though, the date of the hearing was two days ago and this is the third call which means he has officially divorced with Bella just waiting for their divorce certificate out.

Ryan took a look at the letter and looked at his mother for an explanation as to why it was sent to his mother so that he did not know about it. Ms. May is just acting normal because she really wants Ryan to divorce Bella because the daughter-in-law never royal to her again. That's why Bella used this address because she knew from Rani that Miss May wanted this divorce.

"Mom explained to me why the letter was here and why didn't you tell me"? Ryan asked with a stern look.

"Why are you so responsive? You should be grateful to be separated from the damn woman, already poor do not know yourself. You're young and well-established, you can get a lot more everything from him". Miss May replied

Ryan squeezed his hair rough, he cursed his mother's stupidity. "Argggh.. Just so you know I'm broke, and why did Maira and I move here because our house was sold by Bella. While the money from the sale of the house was taken away by him, whether now where he was". Said Ryan.

Bu May glared and held her chest.

I heard Ryan's explanation. "It's a lie, isn't it? You're not broke, are you?" Ask Ms. May not to believe it.

"Keep what your next plan is, where you get the money to finance your life and Maira's, not to mention mommy's. You are now unemployed, there is no way the mother can finance you while the mother only wishes from Arya and Rani". Said Ms. May, it is not sincere that her money is used to support her son and grandson.

"Maybe I'll be an online motorcycle taxi like Arya once was". Answer Ryan

"WHATAAA!!!??? Do you want to be an online motorcycle?? I don't disagree, mom. What will the neighbors say if the children of mothers who have been proud mothers - proud of them are now bankrupt and so a taxi driver, not to mention with friends - socialite friends mother. Want taro where mom's face, surely they will insult mom. Anyway I don't want to know you can't be a motorcycle taxi driver, you're looking for a better job or open a cake business again". Screaming Bu May, her breathing seemed to go up and down with emotion.

"Fuck the people, ma'am, not those who feed us. Partly I at the age of me who is so difficult to find a good job, want to open a business and capital from where Mom?" Ryan was upset.

"You try cake to find capital again or you borrow with Arya he will help you, you always help him". Ms. May gave her advice.

"I don't want to spend time with him, my self-esteem drops. Later he knows that I'm broke, I don't want to lose to him. From the first I always excelled from him, yes I want to rest first tomorrow I want to take Maira to her new school". Reject Ryan and pass to his room leaving Bu May still irritated at him.

"Ryannn mom hasn't finished talking, anyway I have to find a job and don't be a motorcycle taxi". Shouts Miss May but Ryan doesn't care.

"Tumben lu ngajak cave to the mall where also treated, kesambet what you?". Said Mila while grinning.

"Bawel lu, the cave is still all over because of yesterday's problems. The cave is still suspicious of Wulan". Ratna said.

"Udah ntar we discuss again mending now we eat first, do not mendemburut mulu. The cave that you bought was already paid for watching caves and buying gua clothes". Persuade Mila, the two of them then entered into a place to eat in the Mall.

They chose a place near the window so they could see the scenery outside.

"Why is that face of fear so Wulan anyway?" Said a woman at a table not too far from Mila and Ratna's seat and happened to be not too crowded so they could clearly hear the woman's words, fortunately the woman and her interlocutor turned their back on them. Their whereabouts are unknown.

"Gua is afraid of being discovered, if the cave in the prison how?". Wulan said her voice sounded frightened.

Ratna and Mila were surprised to hear a name that was familiar to them, they were sure it was Wulan they knew from the same voice. Soon Ratna picked up her phone and turned on record mode and took a strategic seat in order to record them and not get caught by them

"Std.. You are too much, relax. Oya, where was I assigned to you yesterday?" Ask the woman.

Wulan then took something in her bag. "This has been written all what spices are used and how to cook". Answer Wulan.

"It is good that I am satisfied with your work, this is your payment that I promised. Soon their business will go bankrupt. Haha." The woman's laughter was unknown while giving Wulan a brown envelope

"Yes but they're already suspicious of the same cave, because that cave packs all that order. The cave doesn't want to be in jail". Wulan was worried.

""You don't have to worry, you don't have to work there anymore. Mending now you're hiding. Over time they will forget about the problem, believe me. They have no evidence that you did it, but now we celebrate our success". The mysterious woman's words calmed Wulan down.

   'Because of you, this is enough to ensnare you'. Ratna muttered and then turned off the recording.

"Let's go home, the cave has proof". Take Ratna to Mila.

"But we haven't eaten yet, and we've only been drinking". Mila Protest.

"We'll wrap it up, we'll have to get out of here before they get caught". Said Ratna while pulling Mila's hand out, fortunately their order new drinks made so they just ask for the food to be wrapped.

Ratna could not wait to show the evidence to Aisha.
