Forgetting the Ex
Chapter 69

"Did you yesterday go meet with the Saskia Family?" Linda asked when Judis had just left the room.

"Yes, Ma!"

"Mama warned you, don't go there!"

"Why Ma?" Judis looked suspiciously. "Oh, don't-don't you know them and have a past!" the accusation.

Linda's face suddenly turned pale.

"Why silence, Ma?"

Linda clucked in annoyance and chose to leave without answering any questions.

"Freak mom!" his inner.

The whole family gathered at the dinner table. Linda is just silent usually she will babble indistinctly, some will be scolded.

"Mama, why don't the tumbens nag today?" Rio was always looking for a way for his mother to be grumpy.

Linda just kept quiet and looked sniffy.

"Oh, Mama's got a toothache 'yes, '" she said.

"Rio!" his hand was grabbed by his wife.

"I was full" Judis got up from the chair, and went to work, not forgetting to say goodbye to her parents.

"Sir Judis too, what's wrong with them this morning?" Rio muttered.

Hendi also looked at the behavior of his wife and child in surprise. Ever since her divorce from Sabrina, her son has appeared to be cold and gluttonous, rarely smiling. But today he saw his wife differently, tending to be more silent. "I should be grateful that she can be quiet too" she said.

"Pa, is there time?" Judis asked Hendi in the afternoon after work.

"There," Hendi answered.

"We'll just talk outside!" Judis opened the car door. "Come, Pa!" bring him.

Hendi also followed the steps of the child into the car.

"Where are they going?" Linda saw from a distance the conversation.

*

"What do you want to say until we get here?" ask Hendi.

"What year are you married?"

"Eh, hmm. Why ask like that?"

"Papa just answer me."

"Yes, we were married before your brother was born" Hendi replied lying.

"Do you know your past?"

"Well!"

"Papa must know."

"Ehmm, Son. For what 'sih you asked Mama's past?"

"Someone knows Mama's past" he deliberately spoke.

"Who is this?"

"Previous not to know?"

Hendi breathed. "We should go home, maybe they're jealous of your Mama's life."He was trying to cover something.

"Pa, Mama's attitude towards me is different. I'm not sure if I'm not his real son" Judis spoke without looking at Hendi.

"You're his biological son and I'm your father, we've lived this life without looking back" Hendi stroked his son's shoulder.

Judis finally returns home, this time failing to get information about Linda's past.

"I'm thinking of Mr Arman's words about Mama's past?" his inner.

"Where were you going this afternoon?" Linda wondered what the two were talking about.

"We went to the lakeside town" he replied.

"Tumbens. Judis asked Papa what?"

"Why are you so curious about our conversation?" Hendi looked suspiciously.

"Pa, what did Judis say?" Linda showed a pleading face.

"He asked about your past!"

"It must be that jerk that made my son curious!" inner Linda growled.

"Ma, are we just telling you the truth?"

"Don't, Pa!"

"Ma, Judis deserves to know. He is also an adult" Hendi said.

"I don't want to, Judis away from me!"

"Papa was sure Judis wasn't like that!"

"The man will take it!" linda said unconsciously.

"Yet, Pa. I'm just scared!" Linda stammered.

"You have nothing to fear, Judis knows. Which one of you is wrong" said Hendi.

Linda hugged her husband's body and cried. "Why did he come again?"

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Today the welcome of baby Arion, the whole family was so enthusiastic waiting for him at home because he had not had time to visit the hospital.

Sabrina and Arvan's extended family gathered, except Aldi who could not attend because he had to continue his education and he did not want too much vacation.

"Mas, I'm so happy!" Sabrina wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers. "They all love me" she clutched her husband's body.

"This is what you deserve," Arvan kissed her forehead.

The whole family is scrambling to hold baby Arion. However, because he was crying eventually they had to give up.

Arion only calms down when the mother holds him and feeds him.

"He just wants to be with you!" said one of the disappointed families baby Arion cried in his cradle.

Everyone laughed at the complaints of one of them. "Arion, voter. So he doesn't want just anyone to carry him" said another.

"Michael!"

"What's wrong?" ketus tanyanya.

"I want to take Kara for a walk" she replied.

"You ask Mama Tissa for permission."

"Why go with Aunt Tissa?"

"Because all this time she's been taking care of Kara."

"But you're the papa?"

"All Kara's business I leave to Mama Tissa."

Finally Karin ventured to meet Tissa to ask permission to invite Kara out.

"Tante, can I take my daughter for a walk?" her door.

"May, but as long as you are. Kara had to be with her nanny and our family driver" Tissa was afraid her granddaughter might be taken away by her former daughter-in-law.

"If you're with Michael, can you?" Karin deliberately so that she was close to returning to her ex-husband.

"I didn't have time" Michael answered quickly.

"How's Karin?" ask Tissa.

"It's okay, Karin follow the conditions from Auntie give!"

*

Forced this time Karin took the streets of her daughter without Michael.

"Mom, where are you going?" the nanny stepped up quickly as Karin carrying Kara walked in a hurry while glancing right and left.

"You take my son to play" he replied.

"But why did you walk in such a hurry?"

"Oh, that. I'm looking for a toilet again," Karin twitched.

"We've passed the toilet."

"Oh, yeah. I didn't see it, I've been there!" Karin gives Kara to her nanny and pretends to go to the toilet.

"Oh!"

Kara's babysitter was still standing in front of the toilet, before long Karin came out. "I want to go to the toilet too. Miss Karin don't go anywhere?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Kara's nanny goes into the toilet. Karin glanced at the family driver Michael, the man was picking up someone's phone.

Karin walked slowly occasionally glancing at the man, after drifting away. He stepped up quickly, avoiding the nanny and the driver.

He pulled up a taxi and ran with his daughter. Karin deliberately did not bring a car, so that later he could be escorted Michael home. It turns out that in reality, her ex-husband refused to go with her, she eventually changed her tactics.

Kara's nanny comes out of the toilet and searches for the mother and child. "Where are they?" his face looked frightened and panicked.

"Where's Mrs Karin?" ask driver.

"I want to ask you too!"

"Great, we're gonna get scolded by Miss Tissa!" reveal driver.

"Quickly search before they're far away!" kara's nanny goes down the stairs, showing a photo of the mother and child to a mall visitor. He deliberately took both of them while engrossed in playing ball bath, it was to keep in case it turns out that the unwanted thing happened.

"How did you meet?" The driver asked when they met at the car park.

"No, I think he's taken little miss!"

"I'll call Mr. Michael.

Michael, who is in a meeting, has to pause the conversation. Because his phone rings so many times.

Michael tightens his jaw when the driver says Kara was taken away by Karin.

"You go home, let me meet him!" edict Michael.

Michael rejoined some of his office staff. "I'm sorry everyone, meeting for a while we're postponing!" he left the room and stepped in a hurry.
