Ex's Regret

Ex's Regret
On The Peak Way


" Yes thanks Deck, Mas close first baby, Mas again in the hospital, and do not forget you also eat yes and take care of Dimas." Mas Andra ended his phone call.


After I hung up from my husband, I immediately followed Dimas to sleep on a thin mattress I bought yesterday.


Very happy of myself, I really have escaped from a rusty cage.


Even though his worship here sleeps in the newspaper, if I feel happy it doesn't matter, my ears don't hear anymore words from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.


All I will live with joy and no complaints, because this is the time to fight for the future.


" Patience, son, someday I will be able to make you happy, grow into a strong man someday, so that you will not be underestimated by people" I said softly to my son, while I wipe his head that has been sweating, because I forget to buy a fan, the temperature of this room is quite hot and stuffy, maybe I will go to the nearest market to buy a fan, maybe I will go to the nearest market, so that Dimas was not too hot, my body was tired when the transfer was, and even the eyes could not be invited to compromise again, I finally fell asleep to reach a dream with my son Dimas.


***


It was a beautiful morning, because this morning it was the day that I gained my freedom in life, and here I opened a new page of struggle, how not, no, now I am in a new place and a new atmosphere, and InshAllah a new life too, a new windfall, a new life,


all new, and which I pray after prayer may be in the same Ijabah Allah taala.


Today I wake up a little later than usual, if at home my mother-in-law before the morning prayers I have woken up, and struggled with endless housework, she said, this time the morning Adhan reverberated I just woke up, enjoying sleep this time, even without a soft mattress, only a thin mattress without a couch, but if this heart is happy it does not matter.


After performing the morning prayers I rushed to the kitchen, mumpung Dimas still asleep as usual, he was not fussy even though he was in a new place that might be less comfortable, but the little boy did not trouble me, instead becoming an encouragement of my life and my own fortune for me.


After praying I got up from my seat, and I folded the face I had finished praying earlier, then I put it on the side of the pillow, where Dimas was still sleeping there.


I opened the door slowly, so Dimas wouldn't wake up, and then I closed it slowly.


I walked towards the kitchen that is located next to this room, a small kitchen is enough for this small family, I happen to still have leftover spinach and carrots, I happen to have, as well as one tempe board that I cooked a part of yesterday, and this morning I will cook with the same menu, because unfortunately if he throws it away, because I don't have a refrigerator, I shop for a day.


I cooked rice no longer just vegetable spinach and frying tempeh alone is enough for me and Dimas, and for Dimas I added eggs so there are nutrients my son.


rice cooker just use magic com only plug is finished.


My savings are running low to pay for rent and buy laundry equipment and buy kitchen utensils, I don't think about buying a guest table and dining table, especially a couch, I'll buy it later if there's more windfall.


Nothing I hope my efforts will be able to walk and I do not need to ask for money with Mas Andra, let not be revealed again with mother-in-law.


The next thing is to sweep this whole house, not too troublesome if only to sweep and mop it, because the place is not as large as the house has a mother-in-law so I quickly do it, he said, washing is my last job, and again soon this job I do because only my clothes and Dimas only I wash.


The age of washing and bathing I rushed to the room because there was a knock on the door from out there, I don't know who came this early, because it was only fifty thirty, there was no greeting, no greeting, so I don't know who's coming.


" Yes a minute" I cried from inside.


I hurriedly put on my negligee and instant veil, then quickly walked towards the exit.


" Assalamu'alaikum" he cried just heard the sound of greetings from outside, like a stranger to the voice.


" Greetings waalaikum" then I opened the door and in front of me the familiar man, my husband Mas Andra.


" Mas Andra" I said as I opened the door wide, the handsome man stood with a disheveled face and carried the usual tote bag and backpack for work.


" Deck," he replied, and I shifted my body to give him a way to enter the house, after Mas Andra entered, I closed the door again and suddenly Mas Andra pulled my body and carried this thin body into his arms.


I paused for a moment to give him time to talk, it seemed like Mas Andra needed some calm, because I saw his disheveled face, and I saw that he was still wearing his work shirt, he said, like he hasn't come home yet.


I'm trying to break her arms, "Want me make some coffee?" I asked to break the silence.


" It's Deck, please ya." He said with a body and a voice that sounded limp, I nodded smiling at him.


" Bath first yes, then breakfast and coffee" I told him.


" Want to see Dimas first Deck." Her request.


" Well, come on" I pulled the hand toward the room next to the empty living room.


I opened the door slowly, then I entered slowly while pulling my husband's hand.


" Sleep, slow down, you just want to kiss, right?" ask her, then she nodded and smiled.


" Dimas dear, I'm sorry Dad, son, just got here, look in Dimas." He said softly by Dimas' ear, but the boy did not get disturbed even though Mas Andra kissed with anxiety.


Hearing my husband's words made this heart like sliced, I really feel sorry for my husband, he must have been wrong, but unfortunately I can not stand it anymore, if I had to lose him for his family I'd be sincere, because as far as I know a boy belongs to his mother, so I'm sorry Mas can't be a submissive wife as you and your family want.


" Dek, Mas took a short nap, later when it's half seven hours wakein Mas, Mas want to kelon in Dimas for a while and after all Mas last night slept also briefly Deck, because kangen same you guys." Honest speech.


" His Mas break I will prepare clothes and supplies for Mas Andra." I replied as I smiled at him and rushed out to the kitchen to make coffee and fry eggs for my husband's provisions, because only eggs were special food for us.
