Forgetting the Ex
Chapter 76 - Jewelry

"Son, you said you wanted to buy your mama a piece of jewelry?" Arman entered the room of Judithira.

"Yes, Dad. But there was no time to look for him" replied Yudhishthira.

"You can see this, if it is suitable to stay the message of goods will come the next day," explained Arman thrusting a magazine.

Judis grabbed it and flipped through the magazine. Her eyes fell on a piece of jewelry and made her fall silent.

"You want that necklace?" ask Arman.

"No, Dad."

"Why look at that photo ?"

"I remember just someone."

"Who? Your ex-wife first?" guess Arman.

"Surely you know from Papa," he said.

"Dad knows of him, you can't forget him."

"Yes, Dad. I miss him so much," he said. "I once promised to buy him a necklace and earrings but at that time I could not make it happen" he said. "Now I can't have him, because he's owned by someone else" he continued.

"Why is your story exactly the story of Dad, expecting your Mama back but he married again" Arman said.

"Why is it so hard to forget?" muttered.

"Take him with someone else and you open your heart to the woman who loves you" Arman advises.

"I'm trying, Dad."

"You don't want to give him a necklace or earrings?"

"For whom?"

"Your ex-wife!"

"No, Dad. He could not accept it" said Judis cf. Iir.

"You choose your Mama!"

"Yes, Dad."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Since the aftermath of the robbery, Karin has never met Michael or his daughter. He promised not to meet them and disturb them.

This was actually a breath of fresh air for Michael, but the reality turned around. Tucked away longing for her. Usually, his ex-wife will send a message asking Kara or pretending to call so he can chat with her.

Three months passed, he still glanced at his phone to just get a notification from Karin. He also sent someone to monitor the activities of his ex-wife from the start of the hospital until now.

He got a report of his wife's return from the hospital to be led Papa Roy down from the car and still grimacing in pain, encouraged Mama Miss using a wheelchair enjoying the morning sun, until he sold his favorite car.

"Hello, Sir!"

"Yes, what's the woman's report?"

"It looks like he no longer works at the company you mean, because during my monitoring Bu Karin only went there 2 times. That was before selling the car" he replied.

"What's today's report?"

"Bu Karin boarded an online motorcycle taxi as if she was going to apply for a job" he replied.

"Still follow him" Michael ordered.

"Good, Sir!"

Tissa overheard her son's phone conversation with his man. "It's like you can't forget him?"

"Ma!"

"Do you still love her?"

"It's not so, Ma." He was confused to give an excuse, he should not have done that spying on his ex-wife if not still in love.

"Michael we'll be proposing to Nora for you soon. So, I hope you can forget her" said Tissa.

Doubtful and doubtful was what Michael felt at this moment, Nora who was now so close to his daughter. Part of his heart could not forget his ex-wife.

"Hey, we'll see you again!" greeting Judis surprised the woman in front of him.

Karin turned her body and smiled faintly.

"What are you doing here?" Judis saw a map held by Karin.

Karin immediately hid it behind her body. "Oh, that. Hmmm, look around!" he stammered.

"I see you can talk to the manager of this store?"

"Oh, that's just me asking!" karin answered nervously.

"Oh, so."

"If you want to invite me to ruin your ex-wife's household, I still refuse it" Karin said.

Judis laughed thinly. "I won't bother him anymore, maybe he's not my soul mate."

"Yes, that's great. Hm, I have to go, excuse me!"

"Wait, Karin!" call him.

"What else is it?" ketus tanyanya.

"I know you need a job" answered Judis.

Karin smiled faintly. "Where do you know I need a job?"

"From the manager of this store," he replied.

"Oh."

"This shop belongs to my sister, you can work here" he said.

"It looks like I have to go find another job," Karin refused to turn her body around.

"Get your hands off!" He narrowed his eyes.

"Sorry!"

"I don't want to owe you any kindness" Karin said.

"You don't have to owe me anything" he promised.

"I can't believe your words!"

"Well, if you don't believe. Here's my card if you need a job, call me!"

"Thank you" he said. He left Judis, and the man only smiled.

Karin continued to fan her body with her palm, today it was quite hot. He had to save the cost, so he intended to take the angkot. The second time he had to get on the vehicle.

A luxurious black car stopped right in front of him. The window opened a man smiled at her. "Need a ride?" his yell.

"No" answered Karin.

The man came down and approached him. "Would you like to go home?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Let me take you!" bargained for.

"Thank you," he refused.

The man sighed. "I'm not going to mess around" he said.

"I told you I don't want to owe you any kindness," Karin made a point.

"Try to get rid of the negative thoughts in your brain!"

Karin held his head.

"I no longer intend to damage other people's households" he explained.

"So why are you still after me?"

"Hey, who's after you?"

"This is the proof, now you're here!"

"I just happened to pass by and watch you stand up, you're not afraid if anyone's robbing your bag again?" He saw Karin's bag.

Karin immediately clutched her bag, she had already experienced twice that. "I'm not afraid" he said.

"Oh, yeah. This street is pretty quiet!"

Karin looked to the right and left, indeed the road she passed was quite quiet.

"Well, if you don't want me to take you home!" He turned his body and walked towards the steering door.

Karin chased after his steps, "I want to!"

"You what?"

"I want to be escorted home," replied Karin still haughtily.

"Please enter!"

Karin sits beside the wheel.

"Where's your home address?"

"Rose Street."

"Do you have children?" ask her on the way to Karin's house.

"Yes, one princess."

"Yourselves?"

"No, he's with my ex-husband."

"Oh."

"You?"

"I don't have any children when I've been married twice" she smiled.

"Oh" said Karin. "Why are you so eager to chase after him?" tanyakanya.

"Oh, maybe because we've known him for a long time and it's so hard to forget" he replied.

"Why separated?"

"Our relationship was not sanctioned by my mother" he replied.

"Well, it's hard to get close to you. Then the second one?"

"We were forced to get married because my mom liked it" she replied. "She eventually gave up and we parted ways" he continued.

"It's so sad your story!"

He laughed thinly. "It's very sad" he said.

"Eat, yuk!" bring him.

"You want to buy me?"

"Yes, take it easy I'm willing to take you out to eat."

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Yes, already. I want!"

The car rolled into a restaurant, and they enjoyed lunch together.
