Discarded After Childbirth
Chapter 40 - A visit to the former in-laws' house

"You finally arrived. Auntie's afraid you're at home wrong. You are new in Jakarta. Moreover, the houses near here tuh, almost all the design of the building."

"No aunt, there will be maps, if the maps are less accurate, I can also ask people," Gea replied casually. In fact, he had been to this area often to spy on the David family. Maybe he had the wrong address. Even if it is right.

The time he was waiting to get into David's house. Fortunately, Tamara happily invited Gea to visit there because she said, she always felt lonely at home. The daughter-in-law he coveted would accompany him at home, instead busy working and never take care of his son.

"You accepted Aunt play to the house, really not busy?" ask Tamara.

"No Aunt. Besides, if it's still early this morning I usually don't do anything either. I usually get busy from late afternoon until tonight. I also took my cake to the store. So relax, there is no other activity. That's why I accepted Aunt to play. I also miss Alwin Aunt" replied Gea.

"Thank God then, Run. Auntie is happy to hear that. What do you want to drink? Let Aunty make it," Tamara bargained.

"Aunty's white water" replied Gea.

Tamara nodded and left Gea alone in the living room. Actually Gea was a bit surprised as well, why Tamara had to bother to visit him. In fact, surely in a house this big there must be a maid. But, yes, after all, he also asked for drinks that must be in every house there must be.

As Tamara prepared a drink for her, Gea looked around her. This house looks not much different from the house of Gaza. Lots of family photos and some paintings. But something strange there. The family photo only features Tamara, the old man who must be David's father, and David. There's no Selena there.

Gea began to wonder why it had happened? It was as if Selena was an unexpected daughter-in-law. Just as it seems to be an unexpected wife so she is thrown away when the husband gets what he wants.

Shortly thereafter, Tamara came with a tray containing some savory snacks and water, as well as a bottle of water that was yellow. It looks like it, orange syrup.

"Duh, Aunt. I feel bad this way" said Gea, who felt bad.

"What's so bad? It should be like this, right? Guests are kings, so we should treat them well with food and drink. Please eat and drink."

"Yes Auntie" replied Ge.

"By the way Alwin is there no aunt? Still sleeping?" asked the curious Gea.

Tamara nodded.

"Yes, he's still sleeping. Usually wake up a little. If you want to play with Alwin, go home in the afternoon. All Aunties want to know you to the son and daughter-in-law of Aunt."

Gea nodded in agreement. That's why the goal is to accept Tamara's invitation and come there. He wanted to see how David and Selena reacted when he came there without being evicted and even invited into the house. I'm really impatient again.

While waiting for Alwin to wake up, the two women of different ages were chatting with each other like they had known for a long time. Tamara who was a bit curious about Gea also began to ask about Gea who some time ago met accidentally with him at the restaurant.

"When at the restaurant at that time, you came with Hani and sat at a table with him and his son who was called Gaza. You knew her?" ask Tamara.

"Yes Aunt. Gaza is my best friend. The three of us went shopping, because the time was right for lunch. That's why we stopped by the restaurant" Gea replied.

Tamara only answered with a joke. He did not want to continue that conversation again. He was just curious.

"Gaza is also the one who helped me to find where my ex-husband, Auntie, lives. Maybe if it wasn't for him. I could be depressed because I could never find my son's whereabouts" Gea said.

"Thank God then, Run. Have you visited your ex-husband's house?"

"Why? How can? Then you can go into the house how if not for your ex-husband?" ask Tamara again who began to enthusiastically hear the story of Gea. Because basically, Tamara is a person who likes to tell stories and listen to stories. He can even respond with an exaggerated response than ordinary people in general.

"I'm approaching my ex-in-law Aunt. Because fortunately, he didn't know that I was the second ex-wife of his son" Gea replied.

"Then have you been honest with your ex-in-law that you are the second ex-wife of her child?"

Gea shakes.

"I was afraid that he would be in a deep shock after hearing all the facts. I'm still waiting until my ex-in-law trusts me completely, Auntie. So that he can no longer defend his son who has done wrong."

"But, waiting for the right time also definitely takes a long time, Run. Is it okay like that? You'll take longer to be with your son."

"Yes, Aunt's words are true. But, that's better, than I told you when my ex-mom-in-law didn't believe me. Maybe he'll tell me I'm a liar and a cheater."

"Yes, if that's your plan. Aunty can only support him. Hope you can quickly get together with your son. Hopefully your former mother-in-law can also accept the real facts with a roomy heart later."

"Thank You Aunt for her good prayer. I hope so too."

Tamara nodded.

Time is spinning so fast. Gea was very happy to spend a long time with her child from waking up until the baby went to sleep again.

The time is 16:30. David should have gone home from work, probably still on his way home. Gea could not wait for the man to come home and see him in his house.

The sound of a car has been heard entering the yard area of the house and is about to enter the garage. Shortly after, David went into the house.

"David, Ma's home" cried David and Tamara came out of the living room and greeted him. David kissed his mother's hand.

"Thank God you're home. Mama wants to introduce you to someone. She's the one who's been with you for a few weeks." Mama's days."

"Who Ma? Mama's socialite friend?" guess David.

"No, she's young, probably younger than Selena."

"Later to know him. I'll go to the room first" said David.

"No way, because he wants to go home."

As a result, David can only resign and follow the wishes of his mother. He walked to the family room to follow his mother. And when he was at the door, how surprised he was when he saw Gea in his house.
