Meet my ex-mother-in-law

Amira breathed fresh air in her hometown that she had not felt for a long time. The pregnant woman occasionally took a deep breath when she remembered the first time she left her beloved hometown. The village order is still the same as before only a few houses have been renovated and some vacant land on the side of the road already has a building.

Amira did not feel the hot sun because the air there was still very cool in contrast to where she had been living for the past six months.

“Kaka Amira!” shouted a child who used to be Amira's student at the study.

Several children ran towards him after one child named Nilam called out to him. They hugged Amira. Clearly, the children missed Amira who had not taught naji. In fact, they do not know where their favorite teacher went because no one discussed Amira's departure from the village.

“Kak Amira anywhere? To what just come home now?” tanya Nilam represents all her friends. They just nodded confirming Nilam's statement.

“Kakak isn't going anywhere. Kak Amira just went to work in the city.” Amira replied lying. There was no way he could explain in detail what had happened to him.

“Now brother Amira want to teach us to njai again, right?” ask Wulan.

“Kakak should get back to work again. You guys pay the same as brother Aisyah first, yes.”

“Yeah, whereas we want to study with brother Amira again.” Complaining kids.

“Sama brother or same sister Aisyah is the same. Importantly, Nilam, Wulan, Gendis and her real Raja. Brother will give you a gift if you are proficient at teaching.” Amira said reassuring the children who had been taught to teach it.

Inevitably, the children had to accept that Amira no longer taught naji to them.

“Eh, Amira's sister just got a baby Dede, yeah?” ask Nilam to Amira. She realized that her teacher was pregnant.

“Doain they are fine yes.” Amira said with a warm smile. Either after this he will still smile warmly at the people he will meet or not.

Thinking of that, Amira took a deep breath again. The children who greeted Amira had returned to play, leaving Amira with all her grief. Step by step Amira towards the electonic sound of her friend's house.

Some people who use motorcycles pass Amira who walk slowly towards the source of the village today. After arriving in front of the blue tent that looked so crowded, there was a little doubt in the heart of the pregnant woman.

“Hahs. You are strong, Ra.” Amira assures herself.

After saying encouraging words to herself, Amira pulled a step towards the blue tent. He greeted some of the elders who received guests up ahead. They greeted the friendly Amira and some even asked her where she was. However, Amira just smiled at them.

Until in the end he met eyes with both of his parents who happened to look towards him. Amira's eyes had begun to blur because of the tears that began to bathe the round eyes. Amira immediately turned her head up to hold back the tears from spilling.

She did not want to make her brother's happy show damaged just because of him. Heavy steps Amira to get above the daydream where her parents and brother are. Once there, Amira raised her hand to greet her parents but was ignored. The moment did not disappear from the view of Amira's ex-husband who was sitting with a girl.

A single tear Amira managed to escape in losing her hand was ignored by both her parents. Amira walked towards her brother, lucky her brother still wanted to shake his guts even though not for a second. Only Devina welcomed Amira warmly. The girl who is now her sister-in-law even hugged her friend who is now pregnant.

After that, Amira greeted Devina's parents and got off the lawn. She looks at her ex-husband sitting with a girl that Amira knows is Devan's friend who was Devan's ex-girlfriend before marrying him.

Devan and Amira's eyes hit it off but Amira hurriedly turned her eyes away. She was about to get out of the show and cross paths with her two former in-laws.

“You're pregnant?” ask her ex-mother-in-law without further ado.

Amira just nodded.

“Whose son?”

The deg!

Her former in-laws question successfully tested Amira's mental strength again. He ignored it and left the show. He did not want his former in-laws to further corner him. It was enough that he dealt with the snake woman like her ex-in-law.

“Wait first. Very rushed, do not want to meet his future wife Devan? Devan is already a better candidate than his ex-wife who doesn't know herself.” The words of her former mother-in-law deliberately provoked the calmness of Amira.

Amira smiled, “thankur if Devan has a replacement, so he no longer needs to think about his ex-wife and son. Uh, his ex-wife's son.” Amira then left her former mother-in-law who had started the emotion. Though, she herself is bothering Amira but she is also an emotional one.

Amira's departure did not escape the sight of both her parents and brother. Amira did not see the whereabouts of her other brother and sister. Maybe they are still preparing the needs for the event at her brother's house after Devina's house.

Amira looked back before leaving her hometown full of memories. He decided to go to the grave of his grandparents first. For a long time he did not make the pilgrimage to the tomb of the man who had always been good to his grandchildren.

“Nek, grandpa, Amira coming. Amira comes same great-grandmother and grandfather.” Amira said cleaning the leaves that litter the graves of her grandparents.

“Amira just met mom and dad. But, mom and dad don't want to accept Amira anymore. Amira is so mean, huh, Grandma? A cake? So that the father and mother do not want to consider Amira children and children in the womb Amira as their grandchildren? Amira is sad, cake, but Amira realizes that Amira has put the family to shame. Sorry grandma, cake, after this, maybe Amira will be a long time to the grave of grandparents. Grandpa and Grandma were fine there, yeah. Amira pampit.”

Amira left the grave of her grandmother and grandfather. Now, the time has shown at three in the afternoon, it means that the ship that will take Amira back in an hour will depart.

Amira decided to take a motorcycle taxi to the port. Before he was completely lost from the area of the village that many memories, Amira again turned to look with a long breath.

Amira's tears can't stand it. He cried silently on the bike. Tiredness does not feel that there is only pain because it is not considered by his father and mother anymore. In fact, before that he was a favorite and proud child. Just because of parting ways with Devan, he was dumped by his parents.
