Married Three Breeding Widow
Lo Mainin I
Cetta looks up to Banyu while Juwita and the kids fight over money. The child who used to do the same thing, running to hug Juwita and ask for toys, can now think of everything.
"Kalo Kak Juwita with Papa here, means Abang Abi left, right?" ask him slowly.
Banyu who was asked immediately turned his head. "Sad?"
"Emang Abang not?"
No. gabe. Very actually. Until Banyu's chest throbbed and it felt gaping. Maybe it's called brother. Or maybe because Abhimanyu is always good, except for his crazy love for Juwita.
She's a good sister, Banyu has to suppress her. Even if someone says no, he wants to punch the guy to death because really, he's good.
He just... lost direction.
"It doesn't mean Juwita is more important than the Pig." Banyu ruffled Cetta's hair. "But there's something called priority."
For the sake of Lila, Nia, Yunia, and of course Juwita as well, Abhimanyu had to leave. The two of them, as his younger brother Abhimanyu, were deeply wounded but tried willingly.
They're all ready.
Lunch at her mother Juwita's house, then go to the mall to shop for toys as promised by Adji, then go home by night. Banyu contacts Abhimanyu to get him home today, listening to Adji and Juwita's decision.
Juwita cooks himself, prepares food for everyone, and then they eat together again.
"Nobody left" said Adji suddenly. "Nothing is."
Banyu and Cetta were stunned. They were both very ready to hear that Abhimanyu was transferred abroad but ... what did Adji say earlier?
"Pa—"
"not discussion. There's your adek."
Lila looked at the faces of the adults before saying, "Yes, Brother. Why go-go? All are equally happy."
Nia nodded. "Should both continue," he said advising as if he were the wisest.
"Bi." Juwita looked at the distorted face of her stepson.
All for his son. For Lila, Nia and Yunia. Otherwise, he would have asked Abhimanyu to leave.
"We can start, right? Again. I'll just say."
Let's take the positivity. Let's start again as before and forget the silly things between them. Didn't he also get it? She was fond of Juwita but later she accepted her as a stepmother.
It was the meaning of Juwita's gaze but Abhimanyu was different.
There aren't. No one can be the same anymore. Then and now it's different.
Abhimanyu's hands clenched very firmly on the table, shaking as if he wanted his bones to smash by themselves. Sakura beside him looked. But as if not knowing anything, Sakura just kept quiet, eating quietly like Yunia.

"Lo playin me!" Abhimanyu took three days to find a gap to talk to Juwita, venting the emotions he held. "Lo playin me again! AGAIN, Juwita! You always play me!"
Juwita who had just finished singing a nap song for her son was clearly shocked. Moreover, it made him wary since there was now ART in their home.
"Mainin' you what?" Juwita spoke softly so that no one besides them could be heard but was also full of emphasis.
"What's this not playing?" Abhimanyu pushed him against the wall, locking Juwita between his arms. "This what?! You want me to go, you want to go, but no one leaves!"
Juwita clenched her mouth. If he says it was because Sakura threatened, Abhimanyu might kill his wife and survive, Juwita becomes a mother who makes her son a murderer.
"Lo said start it all over again? You said kayak first again? How was it?!" abhimanyu shouted in frustration.
Juwita tried to push Abhimanyu. "Surge. I don't want to talk to you."
