Just take him for you
New step

"Are you sure you're looking for the right one, Mand?" ask her mother not to believe.

"Already, Mom. I asked the right and left neighbors, they said the Bimo's house has been empty for a week." Armand puffed his cigarette smoke into the ceiling of the house.

I don't know how many cigarettes he spent this day. Looking for the whereabouts of his ex-wife and her two twins, making his head more dizzy. He doesn't care much about the twins, he just wants Salma within his reach. He just felt his new wife could not replace Salma in his life.

"Where are you?" Armand's mother was also riled up by Salma's disappearance.

Although sometimes upset with Salma, but his son's ex-wife is still much better than Tania. Salma's friend who became the wife of her son was very arrogant, because he felt he held financial resources. He felt like begging just to ask for money and daily expenses. Different from Salma who always obeyed what he said. Giving money without asking much for what needs.

"Mom became suspicious of the man who came the other day, try asking him."

"Sir Iwan? Already, he said he didn't know. Maybe they're on vacation?" Armand asked himself.

"It could be anyway, Mand. Well, then, Salma must be making a lot of money. If you rely on his brother Bimo and his wife, there will be no way they can vacation all this time." Armand's mother poked her lips. Armand nodded his head, agreeing with what his mother said.

"Mas, smoke outside. It's a clean area to prepare food. Anyway I'm pregnant, it's not good to breathe cigarette smoke" Tania said, emerging from behind the kitchen door.

"What a whisper you are! did you do what I told you last night?"

"Ga can! Salma has blocked all my numbers" Tania sewot said. Last night Armand asked him to call Salma and ask her where her best friend is now.

"Women are useless." Armand grumbled in annoyance.

"What did you say, Mom? I'm no use? Who makes money in this house, me or you? What do you do besides sleep, eat, smoke and play games?" Tania walked up to Armand with her already bloated stomach.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, honey. You since pregnant why so like to snack, make Mas more anxious." Armand stood up from his seat and hugged and tried to persuade his wife.

Armand realizes that the survival of himself and his mother is in the hands of his new wife. What Tania said was all true, so don't let her be angry and claim divorce as Salma did.

Armand's mother sneered as his only son led his wife into the room. It's clear what they're going to do. Tania who put her heart on her son since she was Salma's husband, as if she was blind if Armand only used her wallet and body.

As soon as her son and Tania entered the room, Armand's mother rushed into the kitchen. Deftly his old hand took a bushel and put some kind of side dish into it.

"Mom, it wants to be sent," said Siti, one of the employees who helped Tania for her catering business.

"Sstt, just shut up. I just take a little, anyways what the trouble is you cook again," said Armand's mother sewot.

Not only this once his boss' mother-in-law scooped up the side dishes he was preparing to send to customers. If only a little might not be a problem, but Tania's mother-in-law was taking for rations of more than five people. Armand's mother likes to invite her friends to eat at home and show off her daughter-in-law who has a catering business.

"I went home first, remember as usual you don't have to say I took a lot of food. There is still a lot of time you cook again, do not be lazy if you do not want to be fired," said Ms. Armand while arranging box by box into her big bag.

Meanwhile in a very modest rented house, Salma with her family was enjoying a busy morning in the capital.

"When do you work, Salma?" bimo asked suspiciously. It had been more than three days in Jakarta, but his sister had no signs of any activity other than inside the house.

"I'm still studying public transport routes, Bang. I also submitted the application before we leave here so just wait for a call," explained Salma. Actually what happened he was arranging the word to ask his friend who is in Jakarta, if there is anything he can do in this big city.

"If you are too long unemployed, you can run out of your savings," continued Bimo.

"Don't worry, I'm sure there will soon be an answer" Salma said, pretending to be busy with her phone.

"If you want to go back first, it's also nothing, Mas. We will be fine here, the environment is also friendly" Tia said.

"You want to kick me out?"

"Gosh, why do you like to cuddle gini the Father?" Tia pinched her husband's waist. Salma smiled watching Bimo and his wife joking. He took a deep breath as the sweet memories with Armand flashed through his mind.

Can't linger like this, Mba Tia and Abang have their own lives. I have to be independent. Inner Salma. He immediately sent a short message to Bian and Jeni.

"I'm in Jakarta, I want to see you. Kangen." A sentence he sent to his two new friends.

Actually he felt embarrassed, besides not being too familiar he also did not want to trouble others. But it is true what Bimo said, if he does not quickly find a job his savings will soon run out for expenses in this metropolitan city.

Unexpectedly the two new friends Salma immediately gave a good response from the message he sent. Even Bian immediately called her right then and there.

"Hello?"

"Salmaaa, where are you now? Disappear like a ghost, do not give any news. You're arrogant!" Bian raised his eyes as soon as Salma answered his video call.

"I'm sorry" said Salma, smiling. He was confused what else to say. The lifestyle and manner of speaking of his friend who lived in a big city was very different.

"Eh, who is that?" Bian suffocated happily as Cakra's small head gushed wanting to merge.

"This is Cakra, that's Candra. Say hello to aunt Bian." Salma waves Cakra's small hand at the camera.

"Oh, auntie anyway. Fix, we have to see you tomorrow!"
