Forgetting the Ex
Chapter 51

"What do you need to do you have to go all the way to see me?" Nora opened the conversation.

"I want to forget Sabrina" he replied.

"Father came to M town just to say he wanted to forget his ex-wife?" Nora laughed mockingly. He also nodded his head to see his former boss. "Sir, the solution is only one" he said.

"What?"

"Love my wife!"

"I can't" Judis sipped his coffee.

"Tried, Sir. Learn to accept him" said Nora.

"I will try" said Judis. "You're alone, why aren't you married?"

"I want to find a husband who is always dear and defends me and good-natured in-laws" she replied.

"You insinuate me" said Judis with a faint smile.

"No, Sir."

"You said you wanted to be betrothed" he said.

"She's married to her boyfriend" replied Nora.

"Pity" Judis opened his lips.

"Pity more, Father. Still overshadowed the guilt on the former," Nora quipped.

Judis smiled wryly. "Well, speaking of arranged marriages, do you know the man you were set up for yesterday?"

"We haven't met, she has decided to marry her lover" Nora replied.

"That means you were rejected at the beginning before you met?"

"It can be said that" he answered.

Judas laughed at hearing that.

"Sir, there's nothing funny about my story" he protested.

Judis breathed. "Why isn't the universe on our side?" tanyakanya.

"It looks like you are" replied the woman.

"Yes, I failed."

"Yes, how do I know," answered Nora.

"From the first Mama likes to force, at school I was forced to champion, told to follow the race until the job must also want him. We owe my wife's family a favor because of them, my job is like this" he said.

Nora listened to him carefully.

"But Mama always disliked the woman close to me, while my other two brothers. They are free to make friends and marry someone they love" he continued.

Nora gives tissue. "Remove, Sir. Her tears!"

Judis immediately wiped away the puddles in his eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm talking like this!"

"It's okay. How to know how to reduce the burden of problems in life, sir!"

"I'm so embarrassed, crying like this." Judis took another sip of his coffee to relieve the groggy feeling.

"From the story, lest you are not a biological child," Ceplos Nora.

Judis smiled faintly. "In KK, the names of my parents were listed," he said.

"But why is the treatment different?"

"I also don't know, Mama always put Kak Yana together. What my brother asks is always obeyed, my brother Rio only sometimes dicuekin let alone me," replied Judis.

"What are the work of both the father's siblings and his spouse?" lecar Nora, inexplicably she is so curious about the family life of her former boss.

"Kak Yana is just a housewife, her husband works in a building store before she had opened a small used car showroom business but closed," she replied.

"If Rio?"

"Rio works as a photographer, his wife a minimarket cashier," he replied. "Hmmm. please don't call 'Mr' my old age, just call me by name" she asked.

"All right," said Nora. "Both of your brothers, none of his work is as great as yours. Their partners are also the same from the bottom," continued Nora said.

"What's your Papa's job?"

"It used to work in a government office, now it's a rented house" replied Judis.

Nora nodded. "Now, how are you feeling? Is it relieved?" tanyakanya.

"A little bit" he answered.

"You better find out why your mother's treatment is different from her other children" Nora suggested.

I asked, but he always answered. "You're Mama's hope boy, you're the only one I've always been proud of, that's the compliment he always said."

"I can only say patient." Nora Yell.

Judis smiled. "Thank you."

After chatting for almost an hour, the man drove Nora home. Although he drove her just in front of the house alley.

Judis banged on the windshield of a motorist who nudged his vehicle.

The driver of the car got down. "Sorry, Mom!" said the young woman sitting next to the driver.

"How is this?" Judis pointed to the back of the badly scratched car.

"Sorry, Son!" said the driver who is already middle-aged.

"Father if you can't drive, don't drive" he protested.

"Yes, Mas. Again we apologize" said the young woman. "We will replace the damage to your car, I want to call my husband first" he continued.

They were waiting for the young woman's husband at a diner not far from the scene.

A call came in, to Judis's cell phone number. He answered immediately.

"Yes, Ma. Tomorrow morning I'm home" he hung up his phone call and put it on the table.

The old man saw a photo of Judis's cell phone screen. "They're your parents?"

"Yes, sir."

"I feel like I know him" he said.

"Pa," call the young woman who is known to be his daughter. "Maybe it's just similar" he said.

Judis just flinching.

"What's your mother's name, son?" ask the man again.

"Why are you asking my mother's name?" ketus tanyanya.

"Sorry, Mas. He thought your mother was his first wife" replied the young woman.

"Oh, so. Maybe you are wrong, mama only married once with my papa," said Judis.

"If you may know what his name is?"

Judis breathed out. "Linda!"

The old man held his chest.

"Isn't it okay?" ask her daughter to worry.

The old man simply raised his right palm.

"Why Papa are you so shocked to hear my mother's name?" judis asked a woman named Saskia.

"His ex-wife was, named Linda." The answer.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence" he said.

"Maybe, Mum."

"Still your husband?"

"A little while back" he answered.

Judis also chose to play his cellphone, he saw the activity of his ex-wife from the world of social media.

There were no activities posted by Sabrina or her husband, only their wedding photos were only one.

"That's it, Mas." Saskia pointed at a man who had just come down from the ojek.

"What's going on?" he asked with a breath of surprise.

"Papa hit people's cars, you bring money to replace the damage?" saskia asked her husband.

"Bring," he answered.

"You drink first," Saskia gave her husband a bottle of mineral water.

The man drank and then he spoke again. "How much loss do we have to pay?"

"Five million" answered Judis.

The man handed over the money as Judis asked. "Do you think you're not a citizen of this town?" tanyakanya.

"I came here to visit only friends" replied Judis, counting the sum of the bills.

"Where are you from?" ask the man again.

"City B, the money is enough I have to go to the workshop," said Yudis.

"Can I have your phone number?"

"For what?" Judis knitted his eyebrows.

"Where to know we are a family vacation to town B, so can contact you. Let's just say we're friends now" said the man.

"All right," Judis gave her card.

"Okay, thank you. My name is Radit" said Saskia's husband.

Judis smiled faintly. "I'm sorry" he said, leaving behind a husband and wife and a middle-aged man.
