Discarded After Childbirth
Chapter 21 - Visiting Gea's parents


David has arrived at Gea's parents' house. Before meeting them, David investigates first whether Gea has been back there or not after he divorced or whether the news of his divorce has been known by Gea's parents or not. However, it turns out that Gea's parents don't know and Gea never comes home. This made David feel relieved.


David greets his former in-laws and is kind to him. While Gea's father was still working in the garden.


"Geez son of David, why don't you come over here and call first. You will be shocked, continue at home also there is nothing to entertain," said the mother who was happy David visited his home.


"I'm sorry Mom, I came here all of a sudden. There's work around here. So I went to visit my parents and my parents" he said.


"Come in, sit down first. Have a chat first," take Gea's mother.


David happily obeyed the orders of his former mother-in-law.


At the table, only water and soy peyek are served to David.


"Not to bother Mom. I'm not here long either."


"It's okay. Oh, yeah, mom's been calling Gea for months but not connected at all. Why is it, son?" asked Gea's mother with a sad look on her face.


"Ah, that. Sorry mom. Gea's phone was lost somewhere. Therefore, the mother's phone was never appointed because Gea had changed the number. We were confused about how to contact mom and dad in the village."


"Geez, son. Just deserve. Mom thinks your house isn't okay. Thank goodness, if it turns out that way."


David nodded.


"Mom, I'm peeing. I'll go back first."


Mother nodded.


Without Gea's mother knowing it, David went into the room of his former father-in-law. He looks for a photo album in which there are photos of his wedding and Gea. Fortunately, the photos are not much. Only 5 photos. David took it all and then sailed out of the room. He kept the pictures in his pocket and in his pants pocket.


After that, David was still chatting for a long time there, so that Gea's mother did not suspect. Until the afternoon, then David decided to go home.


"Wouldn't you stay here, son? Or wait until your father comes home and you leave? Surely the father would have been happy to see you coming."


"Sorry mom, but I'll go straight back home. Greetings from me to my father. Also say sorry I haven't met. I'll take Gea home here sometime."


"Good son, greetings also to Gea from mother. When you get home, don't forget to tell mom."


David nodded. She had asked for the number of her former mother-in-law instead of giving Gea a number she did not know. Better to be alibi.


The car that David was driving had already moved away from the village. David had arrived at one of the hotels in the city. She and Selena laughed together.


"Gea is stupid or what? Divorced with you but didn't tell her parents just told her best friend. Well, if this is luck, then be on our side. He has no proof that he married you. Ah, it feels really good mas," said Selena while burning one by one the photo.


"Yes you're right, baby. Gea was plain, stupid anyway. It's so easy to be lied to."


"Thankfully, you didn't choose the wrong one."


David nodded. The two also rest at the hotel before the next morning will return to Jakarta.

"Ma, if it's time for me to get married. I'm getting married too. But now is not the time for you."


That is the answer that Gaza always relies on to answer the words of its mother. After that the mother will certainly be silent and not much babbling anymore.


"Don't you like people's wives, huh?" suspicious of mama.


"Yes, but now she is a widow" Gaza replied honestly.


It made Mama Hani shocked in disbelief.


"Divorce isn't because of you, is it?" Mama Hani asked because she was afraid that her son would make the divorce.


"Not mama. Yes, I was third. I've been waiting for her for a widow secretly" argued Gaza.


"Include my mother, I'd like to select her first. Is she worthy or not to be with you?"


Gaza grunts annoyed.


"He doesn't love me ma. He just thinks I'm a friend. I'm still struggling, I'll introduce to my mother if there's a reason" replied Gaza again.


Mama Hani sighed softly. He did not expect the only child he was proud of even loved the wife of people. But she was also grateful that her son was not a third person. But still her name is a mother, she is very curious what kind of woman that can make her child can not open the heart to other women. There have even been many women introduced by her husband, but all of them were rejected by Gaza.


"Just introduce her to my mom, if she doesn't love you, just introduce her."


"Yes, ma, sometime I introduce," replied Gaza then went from his mother's presence to go into the room.


When going to the bathroom, Gaza gets a call from Gea's parents.


"Hello nak Gaza, I'm sorry mom interfered. I now know why Gea never picks up the phone from me. Apparently Gea's cell phone was lost before Gea's husband came to visit mother to the house."


Hearing this shocked Gaza. I want to tell you the truth, but this is not his right. He had promised Gea not to tell the Gea household and the woman's grief. But it didn't feel good for Gea's mother either. As a result, Gaza could only listen to what Gea's mother had to say on the phone.


"Unfortunately, he didn't stay at my mother's house. Mom's a little sad. Mother misses the same Gea. I want to talk to Gea on the phone. But, because David's son is busy. Yeah, well, how else."


"Yes mother. Surely one day Gea will call mom too."


"Yes son. Then mom shut up. Thank you for Gaza for wanting to hear the mother's curse about Gea all this time. Because mom already considers Gaza son mother's own son."


"Yes, Gaza knows that. Be healthy there, Mom."


"Yes, son, you too."


The phone connection ended. Gaza then sat on the edge of his bed.


"You should have told me that your parents were. If this were the case, David would have had other plans. He even dared to come to your parents' house when you were divorced. Surely if your parents knew, David wouldn't be welcome there."


Gaza could only sigh, then go to the bathroom.
