Married Three Breeding Widow
30. Splitting Heart
Adji sits down, not feeling the need to talk despite knowing Banyu sees him interacting with Juwita.
"Why did you forget Mama?" ask the sensitive child.
Adji's eyes were staring at the television, but his mind was somewhere else. "Nobody's gonna change Mama for Papa."
"What is that?"
"Juwita and your mama are different people, Banyu."
"The name of the heart cannot be divided, Pa. If Papa likes him, then Papa doesn't like Mama anymore!"
"For there is no heart to be divided."
Adji.
"Papa's got your Mama, Papa's heart split in two? One for Papa, one for your Mama? Have you, have Abhimanyu, have Cetta, Papa's heart is divided by five? Now have Juwita in six? Not the concept."
"Yes but—"
"Nobody's gonna change Mama for Papa."
Adji felt he had to repeat it.
"And it doesn't mean there's no place to anyone anymore. Papa's heart has only one, and that's enough for all of you. So if you are satisfied because you do not want your Mama forgotten, do not worry. Papa loves your mama far more than you. So here's the thing. Do you understand what I mean, Boy?"
That repressive speech silenced Banyu.
He leaves, leaving Cetta with Adji in front of the television.
Actually Adji didn't mean to press him too hard. But if Adji had a good conversational talent, maybe Adji would be a diplomat, not a back-of-the-scenes businessman.

Juwita thought it would be like this.
Father's family even criticized the behavior of Adji married a girl but did not make a wedding party.
"It's a once in a lifetime wedding, brother! How could there be no show?"
Juwita who heard the grumble in her heart.
Of course Mom and Dad knew Juwita was upset.
The relationship of Father and his family is also not good—not in a hostile sense, but arguably different groups.
Dad shook his head, gesturing for Juwita to be patient and not to retaliate.
"What happened to you, Juwita? Melisa's kids bother you?"
So inconvenient! Juwita replied inwardly again. So difficult it wants me to contribute to you, who knows you lack of work because my business continues.
"Well, Auntie." Sure, it's a brawl in front of the screen.
"Ah, are you sure? Aunty with her big son Melisa is very naughty. He once hit his own teacher at Junior High. And so, his second son, when he was telling people just because his book was set. On the goons all follow Melisa."
Ah, yes, yes. Your son will also follow you if your congorm bac*t continues.
Juwita smiled, hoping he kept sane.
Family for Juwita is bullshit. All he could really call family was his parents. That'sallthatis.
The rest is just nonsense, and Juwita is tired of their unfinished problems.
Why is it so chatty?
Want Juwita to allude to her sister who was pregnant first, married quickly but on the wedding day even her husband went abroad aka left only the same wedding book doang?
Or what if his niece who said he was a street hobby was the same om-om at the bar?
Kayak has no disgrace.
Juwita bete is amazing, but she has to be patient because of her husband.
"You're patient, Dad." Juwita was even told as soon as they came home.
Until it feels like Juwita wants to bite the wall so dongkolnya.
