Tough Widow

Remembering the past

Ikram's heavy heart wearing Angga's gifting uniform. Staring at his reflection from the mirror in the room. There's nothing wrong with him. The accident wound was completely healed. His face remained handsome despite his age of four. However, who would have thought that behind it his heart was broken into pieces. 

The hope of wanting to return with Ayu is dashed already. There is no more way to unite. Soon he will only see his ex-wife happy with another man. 

His hand slid open the drawer. Taking wedding photos sixteen years ago. Her fingers rubbed a beautiful face that was filled with a sweet smile. 

Awesome, and what it is. The girl who had filled her heart space now only lives unforgettable memories all the time.

''Maybe the happiness I give you is not worth the pain you receive. But I'm grateful you got a good man like Mr. Angga. I'll let you go as sincerely as you let me go. At least I'm lucky to have been a part of your life.''

Glazed Ice cream eyes. He could not contain the deep sadness if he remembered his past. His heart was squeezed to the ulu.

There is no wish-meaning because until anytime it will not be realized. 

''May you be happy, Ayu Lestari the mother of my children.'' 

Ikram. Clear circles flowing profusely soaked his sturdy cheeks. Until anytime will always remember the ten years that have passed together. 

Harini came in and stood beside her sister. Swiping both cheeks of the man. 

''I don't know how you feel, but this is life. Regrets always come in the back. But remember, God will surely give happiness from another direction. Don't worry, now Ayu has fallen in the hands of the right person. Your children will not be abandoned. They will have abundant affection and a better life.'' I stroked the two arms of Ikram that were still swept away in tears. 

Ikram. Strengthen his heart and try to smile when he saw Ayu and Angga later. 

''Everyone has their own way of life. So just calm down. I'm sure you'll get a good wife and love you for who you are. Not because of your wealth.'' Hugged the sister tightly. 

Pouring his affection as a brother as well as a parent. 

Now I understand why there is karma in the world. Because crime deserves revenge, and that's how I feel right now. May you and Angga be happy. 

Ikram took off his embrace. Keep a photo of the bride with Ayu and ask the housekeeper to clean all the items that are still related to the ex. Take the gift box over the nightstand and get out.

Various neatly lined bouquets decorate the road route up to several meters. All sorts of cars had crowded the party location. Several guards were deployed to secure the event. 

''I guess we parked here.'' Harini opened the car glass. Seeing the crowded outside.  

''But it's still a long way, Ma. Hot anyway.'' Joseph disagreed and stayed in line to find a closer parking space. 

Ikram smiled seeing his brother and sister-in-law arguing. The smallest thing they will certainly have different opinions, but that's why Joseph always misses the figure of Harini, he said. 

''You are a man but a woman, afraid of the heat" Harini said. 

Joseph clucked in annoyance. Shifted body. Align her smooth white hand with the wife's hand that looks darker. 

''My skin's clear. Unfortunately if it gets hot, it will be black.''

Ikram shut his mouth holding a laugh whenever he heard Harini being insinuated by her husband. As for their children, just silence because they are used to hearing the babble of both parents.

''Already, we're here to come to the party, not argue.'' Harini opened the car door and got off. Heedless of Joseph's fussiness. Ikram also followed the brother to walk to be able to quickly enter the building. 

Accidentally, Ikram's hand nudged the old woman who was also walking. 

''Ma-sorry, Mom. I was not intentionally.'' Ikram cupped both his hands. 

However, the old woman actually grabbed Ikram's hand and grasped it. 

''Please help Mom to find Melati, '' her door with a typical old voice.

Harini came to a stop and approached the old woman who still looked elegant. 

''He said he wanted to park the car. But how long do not go back and forth, '' he answered with fear.  

''How is this, Ma'am?'' tanya Ikram was confused. 

''We invite you in, later let the waiter who is looking for his family, '' Harini's suggestion took the woman. 

Forced Ikram had to keep the woman in a place that was a little quiet, while Harini immediately met with security officers. 

The eyes of the Ikram are not diverted from the old man. It reminds me of his mother. 

''Mom calm down, sure to meet again Mother's child, '' said Ikram calming. 

The woman stroked her stomach then shifted her seat even closer. 

''Mom is hungry, can you get food?'' 

The kram is getting pity. He calls Harini by phone and asks her to pick up food as the woman asks. 

''You've been here since when?'' ask me gently. 

''It was just this morning, but it had been two days that I had not eaten, '' he said.

Sounds slicing. However, Ikram did not fully believe when he saw some circular jewelry on the woman's ring finger.  

Why can't his son feed him. Don't you think this mother was deliberately thrown away?

I don't know, Ikram can only wait for certainty later. 

Not long ago a beautiful woman came with her panicked face. 

Without warning the woman hugged the woman Ikram found and apologized. 

''So I looked at Mom outside, but nothing. I think Mom's out of here.'' The woman took off her embrace. 

The old woman smiled as she patted her eel. Then a little laugh. 

''No papa, I was also wrong not to wait for you, '' he said. 

Harini came to bring the food Ikram request and put it on the table. 

''Thank you, Mas. Ma'am.'' Staring at Ikram and Harini alternately. ''I'm sorry my mother bothers you. My name is Melati, he said he felt guilty. 

''Undoubtedly. We are happy to help you, Harini said. 

Ikram stared cynically at Melati. ''Your mother said she was hungry. He said he didn't eat two days. Is that true?'' said ketus. 

Melati smiled sweetly. ''My mother was like that, Mom. He was senile, before he came here he had eaten. If it wasn't for Aunt Winda I wouldn't have invited her either. He was often confused while in a crowded place like this, said Melati straightforwardly. 

''Okay, then we'll excuse me.'' Harini moved from her seat. Followed by the recorder from behind.

''Once again thank you, Ma'am, '' said Melati repeated.
