Forced to Marry a Rich Widow
Mixed Ice

"What about my ex-husband, has he responded to the letter we sent?"

Clara asked her late father's confidant.

"Not yet" replied the confidant of his late father.

"Why hasn't he responded until now, om?" ask Clara.

"Om doesn't know Clara. But soon I'll find out and let you know."

"Okay, um."

Clara stopped and hung up the phone. Indeed, she could have directly asked Nando, about why her ex-husband had not yet responded to the warning letter he sent.

But this is the business of the office, all the procedures he wants to do officially. To avoid things that are not desirable, beyond it all.

"Dert."

"Dert."

Suddenly Ferdi called, and the woman then raised the call.

"Hallo, Fer." said Clara.

"Cla, are you all right?" ask Ferdi.

"Yes is fine. You?" Clara asked back.

"I'm good, aren't you nauseous?" ask Ferdi again.

"So it's a little nauseous, but it's been drinking warm water. So it's been a bit reduced." replied Clara.

"Is it really okay?" Ferdi still seems to doubt.

"Yes dear."

"Later to pick ya up." said Ferdi again.

"Yes, there you work. The quiet work, do not worry much. I can take good care of our son koq."

"Yes, I believe in that. Just worried if you vomit or something. Poor you."

Clara smiled. Having a husband like Ferdi really is the dream of almost all women. But he never expected it to be this big.

"Dear, thank you for your attention. If there's anything, I'll tell you." said Clara.

"Okay, I continue to work." said Ferdi.

"Yes dear, whose morale is."

Ferdi was smiling this time.

"Yes, you are too." said the man.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Bye dear." said Ferdi.

"Bye dear." replied Clara.

Ferdi stopped the phone and continued work, as did Clara.

That afternoon after school, Arvel, Anzel, and Axel hang out in front of Axel's school while eating meatballs.

Since not too banned again by Clara for snacks, Axel so influenced his two brothers. They also eat with the driver. However, their drivers prefer to sit in the car.

"How's the food going, bang?"

Axel asks Arvel when her older sister tells him about a mysterious food she received from an unknown woman.

"Yes eaten by my friends" replied Arvel.

"I didn't tell you, I was afraid it was poisonous. We know people's intentions." he continued later.

"That koq is edible but?" ask Axel again.

"Yes, I'm trying. Tau-tau already comot and eaten. Finally others followed. Long time abis."

"Sampe now they're still fine, right?" again Axel asked.

"That's fine, don't know now. At most I chat in a class group." said Arvel.

Axel laughing. Anzel himself was silent, for some reason his mind was fixed on the two parents of Arvel's birth. Starting from the laptop at that time, up to the food that is now.

I don't know why his heart says that, but he doesn't want Arvel to be aware of that. She wants Arvel to stay at her home and be her brother and Clara's son forever.

"Lo koq in the middle, bang?" asked Axel who suddenly realized Anzel's silence. Arvel himself now looked at his sister.

"Fart you?"

Axel asked a question that made some students who were standing near them, turning to Anzel.

"You're smart, I'm." slurping Anzel.

"Lo mah, what a slob." Axel sewot, Arvel and Anzel laugh.

"Elo fishing. Turn in real antepin, sewot." Anzel said again.

"Hehe, relax bang. Let's not get tense." Axel replied.

They continued eating the meatballs while continuing to talk.

"Bang, I want ice mixed, but full if you want to finish yourself."

Axel said after the meatball dinner was over.

"Same, brother too." Arvel.

"But I want to, bang." Axel whining.

"Well, pack it up, take it home. Arvel gave me advice.

"His eyes are in shaved, bang. My house is not cold, not good."

"Yes ask for the usual ice cubes" said Anzel.

"It's different if you've brought it home."

Arvel and Anzel let out super upset breaths. It feels like they sent Axel to camp on another planet.

"Yes, order there!" tukas Arvel later.

"But help you gigabisin ya." said Axel again.

"Yes." answered Arvel.

"Don't you?" he asked for Anzel's reassurance.

"Yeah." Anzel replied annoyedly.

Axel grinned and ordered mixed ice from a place right next to the school. Before long the mixed ice arrived at the table and the portions were very large.

"Lo nge-WA brother yes, so that in order to multiply?" Anzel is suspicious of Axel.

"My phone's in the car" replied Axel.

"This is the portion of mixed ice is barbaric. That's why I'm getting both of you, bang." he said again.

Arvel and Anzel breathed. The two children did not like the ice. But for Axel's sake they also eat.

Suddenly, Arvel's eyes fell in a direction. In the same black car that was at his school. In the car there was the same person.

"Ngeliatin what the hell, bang?" anzel asked and followed the direction of her brother.

Axel also followed by looking in that direction.

"Well, that's Ferdi's boss." Axel.

Arvel and Anzel turned to look at their sister.

"Seriously lo, is that Ferdi's boss?" ask Arvel to Axel then.

"Yes, the guy she came to at my mom's wedding. Just check their wedding photos, there must be some of it." said Axel again.

Arvel was silent, again he noticed the person who Axel said as Ferdi's boss. The man looked out of the car.

"She's been watching me at school" Arvel said.

"Lo wants to be kidnapped, bang." slurping Axel.

"Hus, don't like prejudice." Anzel scolded Axel.

"Suspected bit, may dong." Axel defended himself.

While the boss of the stepfather is approaching.

"You're Ferdi's kids, right?" abugn.

"Om, um Nathan?" Axel.

"Yes." answered Nath.

"Tadi om ngeliatin from there. It's not Ferdi's kids, ' he thought."

"Oh."

The three of them smiled. It finally answered already why the man was looking in their direction. But there is something else that is now hurting the minds of the three children.

If Nath was just making sure they were Ferdi's three kids or not, then for what boss like him to be in the school environment at work hours like this.

"Why at this school?" axel's question represented what was on his two brothers' minds.

"Om looking for a school for your nephew. He and his family just moved here." said Nath.

"The only one is looking for Junior High School, the other is looking for High School. That's why we met, right?"

Nath takes aim at Arvel, now Arvel understands why Nath was looking at him. Maybe the same wants to make sure whether it's true he saw Ferdi's stepson or not.

"But you got the high school, the high school?" ask Arvel.

"Udah, who is near home at last. You see, in your school, although good, but quite far from their home." replied Nath.

Arvel nodded his head.

"You guys don't want to go home yet?" ask Nath.

"Not om, it's still eating." Anzel replied.

"But picked up right?" Nath.

"Yes, the car."

Axel pointed at their pickup car.

"Oh yes, that's it. Oh, um say goodbye, huh?" said Nath.

"Yes, um." answered the three simultaneously.

Nath turned around, the three children did not see the change in his face which was suddenly filled with sadness.
