Forgetting the Ex
Chapter 5

"Thank you" Sabrina said as Arvan thrust a tissue at her.

Arvan continued eating and asked, "Does he love you?"

"What a stupid question I said just now" Arvan said.

Sabrina turned her head towards Arvan, "Surely sir, she loves me. Otherwise we might get married" he replied.

Arvan smiled faintly, he looked stupid. It seems to indicate jealousy.

"I'm done eating" Sabrina said."I want permission to continue the work" he continued.

He got up and then returned to the warehouse to finish the work that piled up.

In the afternoon, Sabrina prepared to go home. Because his schedule is finished. He sat in the shop parking lot waiting for Judis to pick him up.

"Not been picked up yet?" ask Arvan.

"The husband is coming soon" replied Sabrina.

"I go first" said Arvan.

"Yes, Sir!"

Shortly afterwards Judis came to pick him up.

"Sorry for a long time" he said.

"It's okay, Mom!"

"Are we going home or looking for food?"

"As far as you are, my mother!"

"All right, let's go get some food. Surely you're tired?"

"That's a shame, Mas. The work during my time off that I have to do," replied Sabrina.

"Patience, dear. Soon will be at home, too" said Yudis smiling.

"Yes, Mom!"

Arriving home after buying food. Mama Linda's waiting on the porch.

"You guys are so long!" said ketus.

"So we stopped by to buy food," Judis showed me a plastic bag.

"Where's Mama made?" ask Linda.

"Nothing, we didn't know Mama was coming" replied Judis.

"One for Mama, you can buy again!" said it.

"Give it, Mom. We can split 2 or buy again" Sabrina said.

Finally Judis relented and gave Linda a packet of chicken noodles.

"You don't be extravagant" Linda advised."You can eat it both," point it at the chicken noodles.

"Patience, patience must be patient," Sabrina's mind continued to say.

"Then Mama will go home." Speech passed.

Sabrina and Judis looked at each other as Mama Linda left.

"Sorry dear" said Judis.

"It's okay, Mom!" Sabrina tried not to show her frustration.

They also enjoy a bowl of chicken noodles both added with the remaining white rice this morning in the rice cooker.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In the morning, before they left for work. Linda just showed up.

"Mama's here?" ask Judis astonished.

"You don't like Mama coming here every day?" linda was not happy.

"It's not so, Ma. But it's still morning, Papa also needs Mama as well as Rio" Yudis said.

"There's Bik Ratih, and Rio's all grown up." Linda.

Judis sighed, not wanting to continue the question. It is free to invite the debate of the mother who is there she will be blamed. Sabrina could only remain silent.

"What are you cooking?" ask Linda to look at the food on the table.

"White rice with omelet and kale stir-fry, Ma." Answer Sabrina.

"This is all? You're how 'clean, my son gave him money shopping cuisine he's a nutritious meal. Don't be like this" Linda protested.

"He who told me to be frugal, he also protested," Sabrina grumbled.

"Sabrina hasn't had time to shop" said Yudis.

"Haven't had time? What are you doing as a wife?" ask Linda again.

"Sabrina works too, Ma. So there is no time" answered Judis.

"You, just keep defending him!" said Linda.

"Later after work we will shop" said Sabrina.

"Don't shop at the supermarket, it's expensive there." Say Linda.

"Pick up the plate, Mama wants to eat, too" she told her daughter-in-law.

Sabrina took a plate and brought rice to her father-in-law. They also enjoyed breakfast together.

"What's this early in the morning?" ask Judis.

"Mama asked you to drive her to Lisa's house" Linda replied.

"Lisa's? What's wrong with him?" ask Judis.

"She wanted to get married, so Mama was invited there" she replied.

"Lisa who?" ask Sabrina.

"Lisa's the woman who wants to be betrothed to Judis but your husband rejected her and chose you" Linda replied.

Sabrina looked at her husband with her eyes beginning to glaze over.

"I don't think I can, Ma!" reject Judis.

"Why?" ask Linda.

"I have to take Sabrina to work again, I'll be late if I have to take Mama. The road is not in the same direction" said Judis.

"Let Sabrina ride an angkot or motorcycle taxi, she usually goes to work riding it" Linda said.

"Let me take a ride, Mas. You just take Mama," said Sabrina relented.

"Mama can actually be escorted by Papa or Rio. Why should I too?" judis Protest.

"So you don't like Mama asking for help?" ask Linda.

"Already, Mas. You just take Mama with you" Sabrina told her husband.

Finally Sabrina to the store where she works using the services of an online motorcycle taxi.

Meanwhile, along the way Linda always praised Lisa. He said Lisa was pretty good at the company she worked for. The woman owned a car and a private house from her work.

"Ma, it's here!" said Judis when the car stopped right at Lisa's parents' house.

"You're not coming down."

"I'm too late" said Judis lying.

"All right, you be careful. Don't speed," Linda said.

"Yes, Ma."

Sabrina's ojek stopped at the shop's parking lot and Arvan's car showed up. The woman went down and paid the price.

Arvan who passed by his employee greeted him, "You got on the motorcycle, where's your husband?"

"Suami's dropping off her mother, sir!" answer Sabrina.

Arvan only retorted by rounding his lips.

Sabrina came in and started working as usual, serving the buyers.

Two women entered the store. Tika, one of Sabrina's friends, serves the buyer.

"Hey, where's Sabrina?" ask the taller woman.

"He's there," Tika replied politely.

"I want to be served by him" said the woman again.

"He's resting again" said Tika.

"I don't want to know, tell him to serve us" said the other woman.

Tika also left the two prospective buyers and called Sabrina.

Sabrina approached the buyer who asked her to serve him."Excuse me,Sister. Can I help you?"

The two women turned towards Sabrina and smiled cynically.

"Sir Yana" said Sabrina.

"Oh, so this is Judis' wife." Say friends Yana.

Sabrina tried to smile kindly.

"What's this special about women?" ask the woman again.

"Okay, I don't know either. Maybe he's wearing a pellet" Yana recalls.

Sabrina tried to be patient, she took a deep breath.

"Which brother and friend would choose?" sabrina averted the vague chatter of the two women.

"Which one did you choose?" ask the woman to Yana.

"It's up to you" he said.

"I chose the most expensive one, for sure he never bought Kak Yana expensive clothes," the woman said.

"His salary for a month is not enough to buy these clothes," replied Yana glanced at her sister-in-law.

Arvan who heard their chatter immediately approached him."You two, if you don't buy better out of this store," he said.

"Who are you?" ask Yana.

"I'm the owner of this shop" he replied.
