Just as I parked my bike in the yard of my aunt's house, my son was already seen running towards me. Seeing the shady face of my son seemed to bring to life a new spirit of my life.
"Mama" my son immediately hugged me, without a single question about his father to me.
"Yes, son, did Farhan eat, son??." As usual when I met him when I left for a while, I immediately threw.
"Yes ma, Farhan had just finished eating." replied my son with a smile on his lips. Despite showing a smile in front of me, but I knew that my son felt hard parting with his father. that's my biggest reason why I always try to maintain the integrity of my household first, all for the sake of my son, but when my ex-husband has said that he no longer wants to live with me, he said, so I finally gave up on maintaining the integrity of our household.
"Widia, you better get some lunch and get some rest, Auntie, look you look so tired" said my aunt, who has been standing between me and my son.
"Good Aunt." I immediately went into my aunt's house, although I had no taste for food, but I still forced it to swallow some mouthfuls. I wanted to look good in front of everyone, including in front of my own aunt, even though I know that my aunt knows very well what I feel now.
After putting my son to sleep, I tried to contact my only close friend named Princess. Princess is my close friend, we have been friends since sitting in the first grade of Elementary School, even the house of our parents are neighbors.
I deliberately wanted to contact the princess to ask her help to find a rented house, which I would live with my only son.
"Tit,,,, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, "the first time I called the princess but it wasn't connected, until I called a couple of times just connected.
"Hello, tumben you call me Wid, what's the matter?" asked the Princess across the phone.
"Can't you meet this afternoon at the rose cafe??" asked my heart afraid my invitation will interfere with my best friend's busyness.
"In fact, your husband is not angry, if you meet outside, meet at home or sometimes your husband is berserk. let alone if you want to meet outside, if you want to meet outside, it can be legal not to leave the house for a year you Wid???." as usual the question will be asked Princess if I will invite her to meet.
"Don't worry about Hardi, I'm no longer his wife now!" I told the Princess.
"What, do not joke Wid, do not let me guarantee your jokes???" said the real Princess who had been advising me to separate from mas Hardi, how not, the real princess, as my best friend Princess could not bear to see mas Hardi acting as she pleased me, although it did not hurt me physically, but my ex-husband has hurt my heart too much, he said, and it is sometimes done mas Hardi in front of the princess, when the princess several times stopped by our house.
"I'm not joking put, I'm no longer his wife mas Hardi now, because we are legally divorced legally and religiously." hearing that the daughter so pity me, evident from the word he said.
"How can Wid, instead of all this time you always try to maintain the integrity of your household, even when mas Hardi cheated when you were pregnant you were still willing to survive. although you also know for yourself if it is not your husband's first and last affair." hearing the string of sentences that the Princess throws over the phone line makes me sigh long and then exhale slowly, so I can't help but, it's as if all of Hardi's infidelity is back dancing in my mind right now.
"Whenever you want a story I'm ready to listen to Wid, do not feel alone there are still many people who love you, including me Wid." continued Putri, who made me touched. maybe I was unlucky as a wife, but as a woman, I feel very lucky God presents a friend who is always in my joys and sorrows.
"The story is long put,,, I'll tell you everything later, don't forget this afternoon at the rose cafe at five o'clock!!" I said, after the Princess agreed to my invitation, I immediately turned off the phone connection.
Maybe because I was tired of riding a motorcycle from the religious court fifteen lilies away from where I lived, or because I was tired of living this life destiny, I finally fell asleep beside my son.
So that I just woke up at half-four in the afternoon, after the end of the prayer ashar I immediately went to a cafe where I had made an agreement with my best friend, daughter. I went to the cafe with my son.
"Who do we want to meet here??" when I just arrived at the cafe, my son asked me.
"You've made a pact with aunty princess here, son, we go in yuk!!!" I replied then holding my son's hand entering the cafe. while still standing in the doorway of the cafe, the voice of a stranger in the ear called my name.
"Sorry Put, it's been a lot of trouble for you" I said as I arrived at the Princess' table.
"Don't say that Wid, that's what friends are for." replied the Princess then my best friend immediately hugged me, like he was giving me spirit.
"Please sit down!!" he continued after a while we hugged.
"Thank you Put." I said before pulling out a chair for my son and also for myself.
"I'm concerned about what happened to your household Wid, but however much you have to keep the spirit of living life, there is Farhan who really needs you." hearing the advice of my best friend, my gaze went straight to my son who was sitting next to me. My face could always make me smile, even though my heart ached every time his father kept betraying me first.
"Thank you very much Put, for you are always there for me, and I'm sorry if I've been bothering you too much." Hearing my words the princess immediately grabbed my hands, saying.
"Never talk like that Wid, our friendship feels like a brother, so please never hesitate to ask me for help, as long as I can help for sure I will help you Widia." honestly, I was very moved by the words of my best friend, until I did not realize my tears were in the corner of my eyes.
But I immediately wiped the tears, so as not to be seen by my son. I do not want Farhan to think if I am sad because I separated from his father, he said, although I cannot deny I am also sad to be separated from the man who has been living together for ten years with me.
On the other hand I am sad, because now I have to start a new life only together with my son, but on the other hand my heart feels relieved, he said, being able to be free from a man who has absolutely no intention of making me happy.how not, after my father died my ex-husband did not even allow me to meet other members of my family, including my brother and my two siblings.
Even on the eid day my ex-husband did not allow my family members to visit our house, nor vice versa. honestly at that time I felt like a fool, whose life was controlled like a robot.
When I met silence with my family my heart even thumped like I was scared, afraid to be discovered by him if I met my family.
But now there is a bitter memory, which I will not remember for the rest of my life.
"What's Wid??" said the Princess to break my daydream about my bitter memories with my ex-husband.
"No papa kok Put, Princess I want to ask for your help to find me a rented house. I want to start a new life together with my son." hearing my words make the Princess wonder.
"Why do you have to find Wid's contract, instead of you having a house??" asked Widia.
"Mas Hardi asked me to choose, if I wanted Farhan's custody to fall into my hands, then I should be ready to get out of our house, then it means Farhan will come with him." My answer made Putra geleng, do not believe in the attitude of mas Hardi that is very outrageous according to him.
"I'm sure that mas Hardi deliberately gave you such a choice to rule over your house, because he himself knew that you couldn't separate from Farhan." Actually the daughter's guess was no different from my guess, but did not want Hardi mas make it more difficult for me again for the custody of our son, then I resigned to accept his offer.
"In the meantime, I'm calling the landlord like there's still one more unoccupied rented house." The princess then called the landlord to ask for an empty contract.
After a while talking with the owner of the contract through a telephone connection, the Princess also turned off the phone connection on her phone.
"You can start moving tomorrow Wid, but the contract can be said to be very simple Wid, but I think the contract is still worth living in" explained the princess about the condition of the contract to me, I don't mind either.
"No problem put, anyway I will just stay alone with Farhan in the contract." replied me with the face began to be serialized, because from tomorrow I can immediately move, I can move, so I don't have to bother my aunt, even though my father's biological sister doesn't mind at all, but still I do not want to make our existence there will trigger a quarrel between my aunt and her husband.
