Dear The Ex
News Raid

After seeing the phone number Mario gave me, I put my phone in the closet, breaking down my body trying to sleep

Because the alarm has been set, so this morning I did not have any more misfortune like yesterday

After I finished my duties I immediately entered the kitchen, cooked for our breakfast and lunch

At six o'clock I woke up my two children and prepared breakfast for them

Do not forget their supplies have also been put in their respective bags

When the two shuttles arrived in front of the house, my two children immediately entered each car by waving their hands at me

And again I started my routine like yesterday, over and over again every day

But this afternoon was a little different, because many packages arrived, so I started sorting out the packages because I would deliver them to the order

Right at noon, I came out of the house carrying a large enough bag of crackles that I placed near my feet, today there are ten orders that I have to deliver, and I had to drive him fast because in an hour Bobi was coming home from school

On the way home I smiled happily because all the orders had been all I had delivered

I suddenly stopped my bike when in front of Mario's parents' house, Mario's mother waved and asked me to stop

I immediately got off the bike, reached out to the middle-aged woman and kissed the back of her hand

"Can I help you?"

"This is Ntan, he said you sell online huh?"

I nodded

"Yes, how can I help you?"

"It's not good to talk on the street, let's go in first"

I'm a little worried, because Bobi's homecoming is near

"I'm sorry if you can't do it now, because my second child is coming home from school soon"

A disappointed look from the face of his mother Mario

"Here you go, what do you want?, I'll help you"

"That mom wants to send food to Mario, maybe you can help her send it?"

My eyes immediately rounded and I gulped my saliva

"Mario is his service far away"

"Yes too"

"Somehow, later I help packing and I help send it through the delivery service"

"Can that be?"

I nodded

"My mom's simple phone number" I said, writing my phone number on paper, then I tore the paper and I gave it to Mario's mom

"Thank you for that"

I nodded my head and said goodbye to Mario's mother

I just got home, my phone rang and I was thinking about who called me via messenger

I had to swallow my saliva with great difficulty because back this is a call from Mario

With a deep breath I finally received his call

"Yes Mario?" my broom

"Finally you lift up as well" a relieved voice sounded from across

"Thank you because you were going to stop when mom stopped you"

I chuckled

"Oh, so I said?"

"Yes, you know my mom hasn't changed, if she misses the same I'll definitely send my favorite food"

I smiled

"How are you doing Ntan?"

"Well, how are you?"

"It's not good to chat via messenger, can you send the What app number?"

"Yes for a minute" I replied

Unsuspecting, I immediately typed my phone number and sent it to Mario

And it wasn't until two minutes that a new number came in, a video call

I immediately walked away confused when I realized my mistake why I easily gave my phone number to Mario

But I didn't stop that video call I received. And my heart feels like it's going to be dislodged when Mario's face appears

"Hi.." said sumringah.

I try to smile and act normal

"Why are you Ntan, how nervous are you?"

"Mama has contacted you?, said your mama gave your phone number to mama"

"Not yet, maybe later"

Then I again had to try to dampen my heartbeat that was beating unbecoming

"How many children do you have?"

"Two, you?"

"Name"

I smiled stiffly hearing it

"All school?"

"The first, first class SD. You?"

"Third grade and second grade" I replied again

Then we were both silent, and I was more confused about what to say, especially because Mario kept looking at me

"Mario, later again huh?, the car that picked my son up" I said because there was a horn in front

"Can I call you every day?"

I shook my head

"Our status is different Yo" I said, waving and quickly ending the call as Bobi shouted at the door

And it turns out that Mario hasn't changed, he's still running around like he used to, every day he calls me and texts me. Especially when I went to his mother's house, there he made a video call to the mother and like deliberately fished me so that I would join in their chat

When finished packing the package of side dishes that will be sent by Mario's mother I immediately asked for Mario's address so that I can write on the paper that I will paste

I stopped the movement of my hand when I heard the address that Mario's mother mentioned

"When has Mario moved on?"

Mama Mario smiled

"From five years ago"

I just nodded my head, because the address I wrote was only two hours away from here

"Then the package we tipped travel buk, do not need to go through the delivery service, if through travel even this afternoon can directly nyampe to Mario"

"Mother, how good is Ntan"

I nodded then called travel who used to take my order to an area not far from where Mario was stationed

"The trip will be here mom, I've called" I said when saying goodbye

Mario's mom stroked my shoulder

"Thank you for the help, thank you"

I smiled and immediately picked up the phone in the bag when it rang

"Yes pa?" I answered because it was my husband who called

"Ma, papa is still about three days here, there's still money, right?"

I closed my eyes for a moment

"How much do you want?"

"Two million ma"

"Yes, wait a minute" I replied slowly

I smiled back at Mario's mom and the phone call ended and I said goodbye

When I got home I was again wondering whether or not to send my husband money, because he was only gone for three days, when the three million money was over?"

Back my daydreams crumpled when my phone rang back

"Why not transfer yet?"

I took a deep breath

"Sorry pa, mama abis balance for shopping, sorry yes.." my excuse.

Because to be honest I was really suspicious this time. And right, I immediately got a curse from my husband

And I just closed my eyes to hear him cursing at me

"Money was gone yesterday?"

"It takes a lot, it's obviously finished, you just don't know"

I glared as I sneered to hear him who kept grumbling. Since I didn't want to hear her grumble, I immediately disconnected the call

And today is my husband's last day of outside service, according to predictions he'll be home tomorrow

But how shocked I was when I saw the news in tivi, the news about the raids of three civil servants who were caught doing perverted acts at the hotel with women who were not their partners

My heart thumped even more when I saw clearly the car that was parked in our garage was in the news

I quickly searched for an online news portal, and my heart was increasingly convinced that one of the raided individuals was my husband, especially with the mention of the agency where the three men served

"Mas Arif....?" I murmured with tears flowing straight away
