Bandung, 2023


"Ah, why is my life this sad? my children, forgive the mother for not being so careful to look after you, that you must go with me to starve to death like this." Siska said with tears in her eyes.


Beside him, there were his two children who had been stiffened, had already first left himself alone in this lonely world.


Siska, could only cry in regret, lamenting the fate that did not side with her until the end. She also blames herself for never listening to what her parents and siblings said about her husband.


Until the end, he felt very embarrassed to just go home and ask for a bite of rice. Stupid, Siska was indeed too stupid to be blinded by a love that could only make herself suffer to the end.


Also, because of her husband's high attitude, every neighbor who was equally poor also hated Siska and her family. To excommunicate him, and make Siska no longer dare to ask for help to his neighbors around this garbage disposal.


Yes, Siska can only live around the dump, setting up a second-hand cardboard-based house.


Her husband? Somewhere he went, having made the neighbors excommunicate him, and taking all the money Siska made himself from scavenging, he fled leaving him without a penny. To the end, he did not care about himself and his two children.


Siska cried again, this time with a stern voice, so weak, her groaning was even hard to hear. "Mother, sister, sister, forgive the stubborn Siska. I hope you can forgive me, yes." Sluggishly.


Then, Siska turned her head back, looking at her two children with lips that were already deathly pale. Raising his hands and rubbing one by one his children with tears and a guilty look.


"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if only I could have started everything from scratch." whispered Siska who then fell, and died on the spot.


Leave silence in the house.

Bandung, 2010


"Mom, Mum, Uqi is hungry, I'm up, let's go get some food." Said a 6-year-old little boy, shaking Siska, who was still sleeping on a folding mattress that was already very thin.


"Mom, Mom, Mom...." Uni, Uqi's 1-year-old sister, also developed Siska who was still reluctant to wake up.


Siska, troubled, opened her eyes slowly and found her two smiling children shaking both arms.


Siska.


Feeling confused by the circumstances that are in front of him at this time.


'Didn't I starve to death with my two children?' Siska asked in her heart.


"Mother?" "mom?" Uqi asked, and Uni simultaneously felt strange with the attitude of her mother who instead looked at the two.


Siska raised both hands, stroking the heads of her two children slowly, without making a sound. Making his two children more confused, but Uni who still did not understand anything, laughed a little feel it. Unlike the confused Uqi himself.


Siska suddenly burst into tears, making Uqi and Uni look at her in panic. Both knew her mother was crying.


Siska quickly hugged her two children, crying as she pleased. He realized, he was alive again. When sculpting earlier, actually Siska stared at the calendar attached to the wall of his small house, which was behind Uqi and Uni. A calendar depicting an official from one of the parties is yellow. Plastered clearly there, there's a 2010 word on it.


He returned to life in 2010. That means he lived 13 years ago. Samar, Siska remembers that this is the moment when her husband speaks will give himself up to his parents, send him home.


"Mother? You okay?" Ask Uqi, ask again.


Siska finally let go of her embrace, then wiped away her tears. He smiled warmly. "It's okay, let's get up, I'll bathe you two, after we eat, okay?" Siska's words made Uqi and Uni nod their heads happily.


Uqi and Uni then went towards the bathroom first. Leaving behind Siska who was currently breathing deeply. "Thank you, Lord, for the second chance." He muttered softly, feeling very grateful for being given the opportunity to fix everything.


"Mother! Uqi and Uni have already undressed!" Shouting Uqi called out to Siska, making Siska regain consciousness to the surface.


"Yes! Mommy's coming!" Reply Siska while moving, approached her two children who had played water in the bathroom.

After finishing feeding her two children, Siska rushed away with her two children, to her mother's house which was next door.


The simple house that Siska currently lives in, is a house given by her parents. Siska's mother felt sorry to see her middle child contracting in her husband's hometown. Siska had even walked far away from there when there was already Uqi by her side. He went back to his mother's house to ask for salt.


In her first life, Siska who had been well given a house and enough to eat, when her husband returned to talk to her mother to return Siska for the third time, she was told by her mother to separate, but Siska still did not want to, to make her mother angry. Until his mother still succumbed to Siska but on condition not to live in the house next door again.


Siska's mother behaved so, because she could not bear to see her son being treated arbitrarily. Her husband does not even work, even everyday money Siska is looking for by selling fried foods. Moreover, when scolded by her husband, Siska until said ****** by her husband.


Which mother isn't hurt to hear that happen to her child? But Siska let him down. Siska chose the second option.


Siska agrees to the terms and moves in with her useless husband. With 10 million dollars given by his mother. Until finally, her husband instead used the 10 million to buy a motorbike, and the rest was only enough to rent a small contract that was even smaller than the simple house his mother made.


In the first life, it was as foolish as Siska according to her husband.


But in this second life, Siska emphasized her intention, never again would she do anything stupid in the past for the survival of herself and her two children.


Siska is back to life, and she's going to start from scratch. Without the presence of a bastard man who has no responsibilities


her husband in his first life.


And the first time Siska will do this is, visit her mother, to ask for help and talk about her separation with her husband.


Geck! Geck!


"Ma! This is Siska, Mama's home?" Ask Siska, who did not go straight into the house.


"There, there, at home. The siska? Here, in. What's going on this early in the morning?" Her mother asked confusedly, but implied a little worry in her eyes too, afraid if her husband again oppressed her son.


"Ma, Siska wants to part with Siska's husband." Siska Steady.
