HIS EX-LOVER MADE ME FRET
14. Feeling Lost

Elma's mother seemed agitated waiting for her husband because it was approximately two hours he went to take Dewi home to her house which could be reached within fifteen minutes by motor vehicle.

He was worried that something unwanted happened on the way especially at night, sometimes there are young people who like to take a prank and disturb passers-by.

Not long after the sound of the motor entering the yard of the house made Elma's mother's heart relieved. She opened the door for her husband.

"Why is it so slow to go home?" ask Elma's mom worried.

"Ehh, anu. was on the road again jammed," replied Mr. Hendrik nervous and trembling.

Mr. Hendrik hastily entered the house to avoid questions from his wife. Arriving in the room he immediately changed his clothes for fear that the smell of the perfume of the Goddess attached to the clothes was smelled by his wife.

After that he immediately lay down and pulled out a blanket to cover his entire body. The events he experienced were like dreams in broad daylight. Without realizing it he smiles and hopes in the heart, one day the meeting will be repeated again.

Elma's mother went into the room and understood her sleeping husband's attitude wrapped in a blanket because she thought he was cold after riding a motorbike through the cold night wind.

***

It has been a week Anna's departure to the city of B makes Eric feel very lost and today he is ready to visit his wife. Travel to B city takes about five to six hours by motor vehicle.

Eric arrives in town B ahead of magrib. His longing was instantly healed after hugging his son tightly. Then he went into the room to see his wife.

Anna's body grew thinner and her face was very pale. She forced herself to smile when she saw her husband appear at the door of the room and after that her gaze was straight in one direction with no expression. Eric hugged and kissed her with tears.

According to Nadia's mother, Anna never spoke again and after going to an internal medicine doctor, the doctor only said that Anna was severely depressed.

"Do you have any problems in your household?" nadia's mother asked while sitting in the living room together with her daughter-in-law.

Eric looked down and did not know what to answer to his in-laws' questions. He was convinced that the existence of Dewi as a neighbor and also the attitude of his mother that made Anna depressed.

"No, ma'am, we're fine" Eric said. He hides his home.

"If that is the case, let us stay here for a while, then if it is a bit better we will contact you!" said Nadia's mother.

"Yes, thank you!" eric Sahut.

After dinner, Eric went into the room to meet his wife and that night Nadia's mother let the three of them in her room with Felyn in the hope that Anna would open up and open her voice.

"Tell me dear, what must I do so that you can heal and be like before, live happily with me!" eric said as he stroked Anna's hair affectionately.

Anna remained silent and her gaze straight ahead without reaction.

"If you love and still care about me and our children then leave your job and we move here!" anna said slowly but firmly.

Eric was shocked to hear his wife's request because there was no way he would leave his job. If he later quit the job then automatically they can no longer pay the installment of the house and if later moved to town B, what can he do? All this came to his mind.

"My guess turned out to be true that mas would not be willing to leave all that and I am sure soon your mother will marry you to the Goddess. At that time my mother said that Dewi was ready to be a second wife for Mas but before that happens, please divorce me first. Don't worry, I won't demand any possessions!" anna said again with tears.

"Don't say that, honey, I'm not going to do that, trust me!" eric said while wiping away his wife's tears that kept flowing down his cheeks using a tishu.

"As long as Mas stays there, I'm sure your mother will do everything she can to make her wish come true even if Mas refuses, but I can't force you either. Do it according to your heart and remember, as long as the woman is still living as our neighbor then I will never go back there!"

Eric was really confused to make a decision. He held the hand of his skinny wife.

"Rest Mas, because tomorrow must take another long journey and do not have to be burdened with my words earlier. Don't worry about me and Felyn because we'll be fine. My parents were not as rich as the Goddess's family but at least they were still able to accommodate and feed us both. After all, also later if I have recovered then I will find a job!" anna made Eric uncomfortable.

Without a word he lay beside his wife with a troubled mind.

A myriad of words he wanted to convey to his wife but was detained because he thought it would not be useful. It is better to stay quiet first so that the problem does not get cloudy.

I don't know what time of the night Eric's eyes could be locked. Likewise with Anna, even during her illness she was very difficult to sleep.

The next day Eric woke up even though his eyes were still heavy. Today he will return to the city of A due to the demands of work.

Anna's attitude is back to the way it was. She was silent a thousand languages with a blank look even when her husband wanted to go home, she did not respond at all. It made Eric feel hard to leave.

Before leaving, Eric gave some money to his mother-in-law to buy their needs and also the cost of treatment for his wife.

"You patient son, hopefully your wife will get well soon!" said Mr. Nico as he patted his ex-child on the shoulder.

"Thank you, sir, for taking care of Anna and Felyn, if there's anything, just call me!" said Eric.

"Yes son, don't worry, we will always take care of and take care of them!" said mr. Nico.

Eric hugged and kissed his son many times before boarding his vehicle.

"You don't be naughty, baby. Papa will buy a lot of toys if Papa comes here again!"

"Yes Pa, and.da... Papa!" flyn said in an adorable voice.

"In a smart boy!" eric said, then drove his vehicle.
