Athena
A Secret

In a small yet beautiful and soothing town, there is a pair of children and mothers who are sunbathing. The city is far from the hustle and bustle of city life that is crowded with vehicles and noise. People will choose to walk or use a bicycle for daily activities, if they have to travel far, they use a bus whose schedule has been determined.

It was the second day that Athena and Anne arrived in the city. This place is the only secret that she hides from her mommy, her daddy, from her family and also of course from her husband. Husband. Remembering the word husband made her reflect back. Whether her choice was right to leave her husband for a while, at least they could think well and win each other over. He is certainly not gone forever, he will return when his heart is calm and ready to face his family.

The two-story house is minimalist in size, there are only 3 bedrooms.1 bedroom is on the lower floor, while the other two bedrooms are on the upper floor. The courtyard is also not as wide as the one in the Arunika complex, but this is already quite spacious, can accommodate up to 5 cars. The grass is green and well-groomed, there are black roses that grow adorning.

"Maa ma ma ma ma" Anne chattered.

Athena was feeding Anne a porridge that was given a piece of carrot then crushed using a spoon, so it was easy to swallow.

After he died at Luna Airport, he headed straight for the city. Her position as the sole daughter of the airport owner made her able to travel quietly. Even in this city, he only rested for a while and went to the store to buy the necessities of his life with Anne. The first thing he went to was of course the baby supply store, then the supermarket that provided food. Athena certainly did not leave a trace through her transaction, she was very clever. No device could tell his family if he was in this town. He certainly used his own money to support himself and Anne.

"Mama's son is a pinter, her food is spent" Athena rubbed her son's head with a funny chuckle without teeth.

Anne clapped her hands, as if conveying her joy at successfully finishing the porridge in her small bowl.

The little baby was yawning, a sign he was already sleepy. Baby work well it is so, if not eat, defecate, drink milk, well sleep.

Athena adorned her son in the lower room, yes, she chose to sleep in the lower room. After a while, the baby fell asleep. Athena then wakes up to tidy up the house, and cleans herself of course. When the child is asleep, it is the best time for a mother to do her job, it is a golden opportunity for mothers. It was as if the hand was designed so shrewdly holding a broom but it could also stir food in a frying pan. Sometimes I wash clothes.

As Athena was about to sit on the dining table chair, the shrill voice of Anne was heard, her son was awake. Athena sighed, then walked to her room and lifted her child, took her to the dining table and sat her in the baby chair, not forgetting to give her toys to her son to take care of her while waiting for her to finish eating.

"Anne, mama's son, play first. Mama wants to eat baby" said Athena.

Anne just nodded as if understanding her mother's words.

In town A, Raga must accept all the disappointments of his wife's family.

Renal breathed a rough sigh. He was of course surprised to learn the fact that his son went with his grandson. What worries him more is that he doesn't know where his son is going.

"Hello, pa. Please have Min return to A's city immediately"

"Athena's gone, pa. If you can't take Min home, at least ask where Athena went.

"All right, pa "

Alda turned off his phone, and he called Lathief who was on RelFath Island. He looked at his son-in-law who looked so tormented. The dark circles in his eyes were quite clear, as well as his body that was not as firm as usual.

"You've got enough rest. The would have liked it if her husband was sick. Mommy will help as much as possible" he said.

Raga felt guilty again. Instead of getting scorn from his wife's family, he instead got the attention he did not get from his own mother.

"Raga farewell dad, mom. Raga will look to country D first" he said.

"We will also search to country G. Daddy will call Okan first" Renal said.

"Don't forget to rest, son. We know Athena very well, she will return when her mood improves" Alda calmed her daughter-in-law.

With a gontai move, Raga entered her house. The house was very quiet, there was no Athena, nor was Anne going to chatter about her mother. He misses his wife, he misses his son too. Where his wife went, even Lathief did not know.

Raga's phone rang, there was a message from Lathief.

Opa can't help much. The day before opa's granddaughter got married, she asked that opa raise her hand about her life after marriage. Opa as a man certainly did what opa agreed. Min tells her that she and Athena are separated at the airport. Athena asks Min to return to RelFath, and Athena promises to contact Min when she returns. That's a sign that opa's granddaughter just went to calm herself down.

Raga let out her breath reading the message from Lathief. He certainly did not forget to reply with a thank you as well as an apology.
