Dear Om Rey
Chapter 50: Finally Meet Aunt Manda


"Danis, you've come. Here, Son." My mother-in-law said softly.


Aunt Manda turned to me. My blood boiled at the sight of him. I remember the photo I saw last night. I clenched my hand holding back my emotions. It felt like I wanted to go up to him and grab his curly brown hair at the end.


How dare he do it with a man who is now my husband?!


But of course I didn't. I began to walk closer to my mother-in-law. He stretched out his hand and I greeted him and kissed the back of his hand. He pulled me up and kissed my left and right cheeks, kept my hand and led me to sit next to him, very close.


"Are you done with college, son?" Ask my mother-in-law kindly.


"Mom, Mom." Answer's short.


"Why are you so pale? You must be getting less sleep now, right? It must be because Rey always asks you to serve her every night."


My eyes opened wide. Does he want Aunt Manda to hear it? I smiled too, not knowing what to answer.


My mother-in-law looked intently at Aunt Manda. "You see, Danisa is the woman I've been looking for Rey. Rey is my proud son. He's a very devoted son. He should be side by side with a woman like Danisa. But because of the influence of women like you! I don't know what you've done to her, Rey is blindfolded, her heart and her ears. He always defends you! He spent his time in vain for five years! Especially the reality when you use that contraception tool! I'm so inexhaustible! I know you're not a good girl, but you're worse than I know! But not anymore, Manda. Rey is conscious. In fact he has an excellent wife, a far different, 180 degree opposite of you! So now you're gone! Because I don't want to be in touch with you!"


Aunt Manda is still bowing lethargic. He even sounded sob from her. Sometimes his hands rubbed his wet cheeks.


"I'm sorry, Mom." His issue. "I'm trying to try to meet Mom, because there's something I want to say."


"Actually I'm so lazy to see you again! But because you keep terrorizing, so I give one last chance to say goodbye to each other. Live like you all this time, I don't care anymore. You are no longer my daughter-in-law! Don't bother Rey anymore. He's happy now. Understand you?!"


Aunt Manda sobbing. "No, Ma. I never divorced Rey! Mother made us separate. I can't let Rey go. I really love Rey. Forgive me for my attitude, ma'am. I'm so sorry. Please give me a chance to be a good wife to Rey, ma'am."


I'm broken in my heart. After he had wasted Mas Rey so many years, he was now begging to return. Can't stand to be quiet.


"Mom, Danis' permission to speak yes, ma'am." My permission to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law nodded for sure.


I immediately pulled out the bugs that I had been holding. "Tante, where's Aunt been all this time?! When Mas Rey is always loyal to Auntie, what does Auntie do?"


In the middle of his sobbing he smiled bitterly, "Mas Rey?"


"Yes! Rey is my husband now. Accept or not. Rey is my legal husband. She's divorced with Auntie. And now with his plin-plan Aunty says that Aunty is in love with Mas Rey? Aunt has a heart, right? If Aunty is Mas Rey, or Aunt is Mom, what is Auntie Rasain?" My atonement.


"You're diem, huh, Nis! Because of you, Rey is divorced-in Auntie! You called someone's husband! Little things you've become an actor!" The impact will not lose.


"Elekor? Me? Now I ask yes, who told me to stay at Mas Rey's house at the beginning I came to Jakarta? The aunt told me! While Aunt nelantarin even me that's it. Aunty's attitude never made Mas Rey uncomfortable! Play guys here and there, which husband will feel at home have a wife like that! Don't mistake Mas Rey or me if we're in love now! Because Auntie herself created that gap! If Aunty can take care of her heart, take good care of the Aunt's household, Mas Rey won't turn to me!"


"HOW DARE YOU TALK AUNTY!! YOU ARE WRONG! DON'T KNOW YOURSELF! DON'T KNOW THANKS!" Wrathful shouting. The two manics looked at me hatefully.


He even got up from his sitting position. From that attitude I knew Aunt Manda was starting to feel intimidated because all my words were true.


I also said the thing that has been in my heart. Everything that stuck in my heart and I wanted to tell him, I took it all out, didn't want to lose to him.


I also got up from my sitting position. "Don't know yourself? Don't know thanks? Aunty still thinks that Aunt who has been helping the medical expenses of my late father, grandfather, and school?! Aunty who doesn't know! I now know it wasn't Auntie who paid all those fees, but Mas Rey! Rey, who has done well, routinely gives us money to survive. While Auntie? Aunty lakain just foya-foya and play boy! I know everything, Auntie!"


Aunt Manda's hand shook so hard she clenched her hand. "Lied it, Mom! You really-you..." He prepares to get closer to me.


"ENOUGH!" My mother-in-law made a sound, making Aunt Manda speechless, undoing her intentions of approaching me. I don't know what he's gonna do. I'm sure I'm not afraid. He will fall with one kick or dings me.


Aunt Manda shook her head. "No, Ma. I can't leave here." He reached into his bag and pulled out a letter. "This is a certificate that I've released my IUD."


"Why do you show it to us?" Ask my mother-in-law not to care. "There's no point in you opening it now that you're no longer Rey's wife!"


"We met in Korea, Mom."


Instantly I felt the oxygen around me shrink, making me cramped.


"What do you mean?" Ask my mother-in-law, confused.


"When Danis and Rey went on honeymoon we met. We met and did it again as we used to when we were legal husband and wife. Rey still loves me, Mom! He still desires to touch me! Rey touched me when I had released the IUD!"


"What empty mouth are you talking about, Manda?!"


Aunt Manda did not answer. He grabbed his phone and fiddled with it. My mother-in-law's phone sounded soon.


"Please mom check. I sent a proof to mom." He said with a challenging tone.


Doubtfully, my mother-in-law looked at her cell phone and immediately sat down sluggishly on the sofa. "Oh my God..."


Instantly the water dripped. Without looking at it, the photo seemed to have been imprinted in my mind. Every time I remember it, it's like a gaping wound in my heart. It hurts so bad.


I felt warm, wrinkled hands grabbing my hands, "Danis..."


I looked up and sat back next to him. I smiled bitterly as my tears kept coming out.


"You..."


"Danis knew that picture last night, ma'am." Isakku.


"Oh my God, Rey...." Isak my mother-in-law. For a moment we were silent saying nothing. It feels so naughty.


I wish my relationship with Mas Rey was just dating. Until when something like this happens, I can immediately break up with him and live my life immediately by looking forward. But my relationship with Mas Rey is not like that, we are tied to the sacred promise of marriage. It makes me have to be more patient in situations like this.


Plus my race towards Mas Rey is so big, making the pain also many times more painful.


However, my little heart was a little hesitant about what happened. I doubt Mas Rey could have done this to me? Is Rey that dear to me? Mas Rey who always upholds loyalty to her partner?


"No way, this must be wrong. This must be an editan!" Shouted my mother-in-law. "Rey can't possibly do something like this!"


"If you don't believe me, I can call Rey here." Said Aunt Manda.


My mother-in-law contacted my son and asked him to come.


I secretly wish everything was wrong. I hope it's all just Aunt Manda's trap, like Mas said. Now I wait for him to come here and explain to us.


I'm more prepared. I wasn't as emotional yesterday. When Mas Rey comes later, I want to hear her explanation.
