Adelia, pensive in the kitchen. Recalling about bi Jum, she felt the warmth from the figure of a mother. It has been 4 days of the departure of bi Jum, still the same as the days ago. He often daydreams and remembers his company.
"Are you named, Adelia?". Said a man behind her. Already several times to say hello, but never answered Adelia.
Adelia, immediately turned her body and faced a man with a large body. When there is someone, touch his arm and make his daydream. Skin color mature sapodilla, nose pointed, sharp eye highlight. "Y-yes". He answered slowly, lowering his head.
"You must have read Jum's last will, right?". Ask the man, firmly. The man, start distancing himself from Adelia.
"L-yes, I know". Adelia answered, squeezing her hand. Is he, bi Jum's nephew? Oh, my God, I just saw him yesterday at bi Jum's funeral.
"Call Bimo, finish your iddah. We're getting married soon,". Bimo said, loudly.
"Married! I can't,". Adelia, reject it. How could she marry an unknown man? What morning he had once failed, intertwined the household and shattered into pieces.
"Whatever you say, think about it again. There is still 2 months, remember bi Jum. He already considers himself, as his son. I put a brown envelope full of money, for your daily needs. Finish your iddah, I'll come again". Bimo said, before leaving Adelia.
Adelia, gazing at Bimo's departure and disappearing behind the door. Until this second, he did not know if bi Jum had a nephew. He expected him if the nephew of bi Jum, classified as a money person. He came here in a fancy car, there was no one with him.
He leaned against the wall, hugging both knees. The roar of his tears flowed profusely, he had completely lost bi Jum.
Adelia, she's shed her tears for a long time. He cannot be like this, trying to get up and live out his final mandate.
Adelia, to the back of the house and staring at the petai trees will soon bear fruit.
"Thank you very much,bi Jum. I promise I'll manage this petai garden". Adelia muttered, smiled and went back inside the house.
Thanks to Bi Jum's legacy, Adelia now has possessions. He is very grateful for the blessings given by God, preferably to be cared for and cared for.
"Assynolt,". Say someone on the doorstep.
Adelia, hurry out of bi Jum's room. He just slipped in the room, keeping the property of the deceased.
"Mas Alfan". Lirih Adelia, surprised at the arrival of her ex-husband. Why else, Alfan come here? It must be for his mother, I'm sure.
"I'm here for mom, she wants to see you. One more Del, I apologize profusely. I still can't believe it, losing you". Alfan, stare at his ex-wife's face. Is this as close as Adelia and bi Jum? He gave all his inheritance to Adelia, even the petai garden in the back. Luckily for Adelia, she was not tired of work and started from scratch. Duh...I suddenly feel sorry for losing him.
"Forget it, it's our destiny like this. Come on, we'll meet mom". Adelia locked the door and left with her ex-husband.
"Where are you going Del?". Ask a mother, her neighbor.
"My mom, you want to meet Adelia". Answer Alfan, directly. Huuffs...Neighbor oh neighbor, always kepo with people's business.
"Miss first ma'am,". Adelia,pamit's gone. Not willing to serve the words of his neighbors, fear Alfan knowing the last will of bi Jum.
Alfan, occasionally glanced at his ex-wife. He walked together, where they lived quite close.
"I miss the good times with you, so often we go for a walk like this". Alfan, open his voice. Did I just refer to it, then divorce Devi. Because Adelia is so much better than him. What's more now Adelia, has a petai garden. Once the harvest is quite a lot, the pleasure is not shared with me.
"Before marriage well, ma'am. After marriage, do not walk. Just take me to the deck, where is it. Because he was busy taking care of your mother, the reason for not having the heart to leave mother". Adelia, smile at him. Why are you bringing up the past? Don't tell me you, having a cunning plan has been set up by you. Remember, I'm not as stupid as you think. Wait a minute, is there no debt collector coming? Their home is still fine. Don't-don't Devi, cover everything.
Alfan, feeling guilty hearing Adelia's words, "my apology, may not be able to heal the wound in your heart".
Adelia, don't follow her ex-husband's words and go inside. He glanced at a woman that was, Yuni. Clearly, I will not forgive you and you. I've been disappointed and hurt, my sacrifice was in vain.Batin Adelia, smiling smrik.
"Del, she's Yuni. Take care of mom,". Alfan, introduce.
Yuni, stared intensely at Adelia. Showing a look of dislike to him, can be a barrier later
Adelia, smile and nod. Whaaat! He takes care of everything, then what about Devi's feelings? Masa mas Alfan, hiring young women like this. It's good that the household, they're a mess.Batin Adelia, get in the room, see Ms. Norma is leaning on the bed.
"Adelia, you're coming!". Ms. Norma, smile at the arrival of Adelia. "Uhukis... Uhukkc....Uhuk...".
"Astagfirullah, mommy!". Adelia, come straight to Norma's mom. Look, Norma's mom is sick again. Is she depressed staying here, or taking care of an irregular mom like me
"Lately, my sickly mother Del. Where kangen said it was you,". Said Alfan, approaching the two of them."Yuni, get Adelia a drink".
"Alright,mas". Yuni replied, he does not seem to like his ex-wife Alfan. Ck, one more bully to get Alfan's mas.
"Mother, have you taken the medicine?". Ask Adelia, holding Norma's hand. I don't know why, I feel bad? I should've had the heart, not to see Norma's mom.
"Alhamdulillah, it's son". Ms. Norma, still touched by Adelia's presence. I wish that Adelia would take care of me back.
"Good ma'am, hope it heals soon. Oh yeah,mas. Where's your wife, why isn't there?". Adelia asked, taking a quick glance towards Alfan.
"Oh, he's busy washing the back clothes. Surprisingly, you can marry a lazy woman. Still good with Yuni, deftly take care of everything". Alfan replied, scratching his non-itchy nape.
Hearing Alfan's words, Adelia just bearded."Tumben wants a mas, he's usually very ogah". Ask again, still astonished. Tumben once mas Alfan, changed and do not care about Devi? What is it that something happened, but what?.
"You don't want to, you have to. If you don't want a monthly ration, nothing". Alfan's snort, smile.
It was this voice that she missed, Adelia. Long enough not to hear the words of her ex-husband, like this. But Adelia, do not be affected by the changes of her ex-husband. Afraid this was a trap for her again, she didn't want it to happen a second time.
