Dear The Ex
Guests Not Invited

I immediately walked away from the cash register when I saw Mas Arif coming in along with Mirna.

As buyers they are kings, and it is fitting that we serve them well.

"How are you?" My greeting to Mirna who immediately turned tense when she saw me.

Mas Arif turned his head immediately and spontaneously reached out to me.

"If you want to shop, please. Welcome to our store" I said again in a friendly tone.

And Mirna who seemed to have no idea if this was my shop, turned her head towards Mas Arif. And the look in his eyes implied that he did not like it.

Not wanting to make Mirna more wrong-minded and misbehaving, I chose to retreat from their presence and return to my place.

The two cashiers who were currently with me only turned their heads towards me and I replied with a head shake.

"That's an ex-mom, right?" ask them timidly.

"Not much to ask, keep working!" I replied quickly which made the two nod quickly and smiled uneasyly.

I never noticed how Mas Arif and Mirna were now. Because I've refocused on work.

And shortly after that I saw Mas Arif and Mirna walking towards the cashier.

Back I put a smile towards Mirna who still did not have a friendly face to me.

And after the Cashier next to me calculated the total amount of Mas Arif's groceries, it was seen that Mas Arif spent money to pay the total amount available in the receipt.

"Thank you for shopping. And yes Mirna, you don't have to be so like me. I gave Mas Arif to you. So I can't possibly take it back" I said with a smile that left Mirna's face gasping.

And I saw Mas Arif's face also gasp. And I keep smiling towards them.

Then after that Mirna quickly pulled Mas Arif's hand, taking him out of the store which made me and my two cashiers chuckle.

"Mother was friendly with my father. Try if you do not miss, it is the actor will not be like the mother" said my cashier who I answered still with a chuckle.

"That was the intention of the mother. Because I haven't seen the two of them in a long time. Yes, the intention is sincereim so, eh not yangya who is a jutek woman" I replied.

Two of my cashiers laughed again at my answer.

I'm back in focus working a little distracted, when I heard Bobby scream.

Shortly after Mas Arif entered as well while being seen running.

Seeing the two of them go in and run around, made me immediately get out from the front of the cash register.

"Bobby....!!" call me while chasing him who's up the stairs.

Mas Arif running behind Bobby didn't touch my screams. But he also continues to climb the stairs chasing Bobby.

I who had now reached the second floor could only see how Mas Arif calmed Bobby who was now shouting.

"Why you, baby?" I asked while releasing the hand of Arif who was holding Bobby's hand.

"I hate Daddy Buk. I saw you holding a child and you said it was your child and I hated it" Bobby replied innocently as his chest climbed up.

I took a deep breath hearing Bobby's innocent reply, then I knelt in front of him.

"Darling with mom. I've told you before that mom and dad are separated. And Dad is married again. So of course you have a new family, and you have children too. I hope Bobby understands, huh?".

Bobby shook his head and his eyes stared intently at Mas Arif.

"So since there's that kid, that's why Dad left us?".

Arif was silent to Bobby's question. And I went back to trying to persuade Bobby, explain to him in a language that was easy to understand.

"Now, Bobby has a mother and also a father. We can't be like before. But my mom and I still love Bobby".

Arif nodded quickly at my words.

Then I stood up and gave Mas Arif a chance to explain to Bobby.

Although still with an angry and disappointed face, Bobby only kept quiet when Mas Arif explained to him.

"Now Bobby hugged me. Because you want to go home" talk me back.

And after Bobby calmed down, the three of us went down and I didn't deliver Mas Arif outside at all. I immediately brought Bobby into my place of work and immediately busied him with the game on my phone.

And Arif who came back out, now stood in front of Mirna who had her face bent back.

"Obviously. You knew from the beginning that I had a wife and children. So you don't have to face so sour" said Arif coldly towards Mirna.

Mirna who was yelled at by Arif further bent her face and followed Arif into the car.

Along the way to Arif's parents' house, Mirna made no sound at all.

And so is Arif. He kept quiet because he was upset by the behavior Mirna showed when she met Intan.

Half an hour later, the car driven by Arif broke into his parents' yard.

And Arif's parents, especially his mother, were just acting normal when they saw Mirna get out of the car.

Mirna, who knew that from the beginning her mother-in-law had never liked her, could only swallow her saliva and stare timidly.

Arif immediately extended his hand shaking warmly the hands of his parents followed by Mirna who did the same.

His father Arif, smiling happily and immediately took his grandson who was in Mirna's sling.

While the face of his mother Arif is still like before if met with Mirna, sour and unfriendly.

Arif immediately entered the house without inviting Mirna who returned to make Mirna feel foreign and neglected

"Where are you boys from?" asked Arif's father when he saw Mirna sitting not far from him.

"From his shop Mbak Intan Pah. I also met his second son, Mas Arif. And there was also a chase between Mas Arif and his second child" replied Mirna slowly.

His mother Mas Arif heard Mirna's voice say that from his shop Intan immediately turned his head.

"You shop there?, where are your groceries?".

Mirna again gulped her saliva hearing a ketus question from her mother-in-law.

"There's in the car. We deliberately did not lower it, because we just stopped by" replied Mirna who made her mother's face Mas Arif back bent.

While the Papanya Mas Arif immediately asked, Why is there a chase between Mas Arif and Bobby. But Mirna shook her head, because she didn't know what was really going on.

"We haven't seen our two grandchildren in a long time. And papa feels like kangen with Bobby and Meka" said Papanya Mas Arif lirih.

Mas Arif's mother only heard her husband's words. For not one bit in his heart if he misses his two grandchildren.

"Bobby knew I already had a daughter from another woman" replied Arif who suddenly appeared and sat next to his mother.

His mother Mas Arif and also Mirna immediately reflexively turned to look at Arif and the faces of both immediately gasped.

"

But Luckily Intan wisely explained to Bobby, What really happened between us"

"If I admit, ever since I split up with Intan, I've had a hard time meeting them. And they were far away from me too, but even so I still loved them".

It was seen Arif taking a deep breath and his face suddenly turned moody.

"And this again is Mirna. Instead of being friendly to Intan he was even childish. Though Intan has tried to be friendly to him" Arif murmured.

Mirna did not struggle to hear Arif scolding her in front of her parents.

He could only swallow his saliva while looking down deeply and trying desperately to hold back his tears.

"Part of why the hell you invite your wife to shop at Intan's place?" ask Arif's mother with anger.

"Yes my goal is good. I went there because I wanted to meet Intan, wanted to be with him. Because the last time we got there was an incident. So my intention is to apologize to Intan. The second, I miss both my children. But it turns out both of my kids are still in school. But I was lucky to meet Bobby. Although there was a small incident".

While I was still in the store, Meka calmed down because she also looked angry when Bobby told her that his father had come with another woman.

"Dear, you know that my mother and father are separated. And your father is married again. So why are you angry?" persuade me.

Meka's face remained in her bend. And it made me immediately rub his head. Trying to calm him down.

"Whenever you marry me, automatically if God wants us to have children. Is Meka the same Bobby also angry with mom?" my many.
