It's been almost 1 month since I last saw my ex-husband. I think he's either disappeared or he's been caught because he never heard from her again. But tonight seeing him here made me realize he wasn't that simple. He was still able to move around freely and even coming home to see the children showed that he was a very relaxed person and underestimated the warnings from the police.
"Mas Adit, why did he come here?" Ask wonder.
Mas Adit had already said before if he had asked his subordinates to keep watch in my house. My ex-husband should not be able to come here because Adit's subordinate can definitely handle it. Moreover, my ex-husband is only 1 person and easily resolved.
Adit's expression looks pretty bad.
"This is the negligence of my co-workers. They say your ex-husband suddenly came to your parents when they went for a walk this morning. My parents couldn't stop him because your ex-husband threatened to tell Mom and Dad about everything that happened to you. He threatened them so they could do nothing but wait for a decision from me. Hah. If not, then this matter will not drag on until tonight."
Ah, the past. My ex-husband was really good at using this opportunity to corner my position even though I was just a victim here. Mom and Dad didn't know anything about the incident, nor did I have the courage to tell them anything. I'm afraid my parents will be sad and sick when they find out about this disgusting problem. It's nothing, but my parents' bodies are already vulnerable to disease and weak. So if they are stimulated by bad news or an incident, I fear that their bodies cannot contain it and fall ill.
I never really expected this result. In addition, I also have a fear in my heart that I am afraid that my parents know my dirty side. I was afraid that my parents would look at me with expressions of pity or melancholy. I don't want this result that's why I'm trying to bury this matter deep inside of me. It's been this far and I think everything will be forgotten slowly. But the arrival of my ex-husband immediately pushed my wishful thinking as far as possible. There is no solution to this problem. Both Mom and Dad probably already know this problem from my ex-husband, if not then sooner or later my ex-husband will talk about it.
"It's okay, ma'am. It's nobody's fault, it's just my ex-husband's fault. And regarding the past will eventually follow the path of destiny. No matter how hard I tried to cover up the incident in the end God always had his own way to revive it. I might have to face it head-on and talk things through with my parents so that I wouldn't be pressured into thinking about this anymore. Although there are bad consequences that I might receive and maybe because of this problem both my parents will give a reaction-"
"Pick." Call Mas Adit while saving my hand.
I looked at him in shock. My breath has been hunting for me since when it started. Panic and panic, this is what my heart feels even though I try to look strong and fine. I can't fool my frightened reaction at all.
"Mas Adit..." I said start sobbing.
Be ill. My heart feels pain. Time and again I tried to bury the past, acting as if everything had never happened, and I was still the same as my untainted self - yet all my efforts were in vain. I can't get rid of that dark past. I can't change that bitter past because I'm still a dirty woman, a woman who was once possessed by another man and bought by my ex-husband. I won't be able to remove this stain my whole life.
"Don't cry." Adit's hand rubbed my wet cheeks, wiping away the melted tears from my eyes.
His actions are so gentle. Inside her sharp eyes I could feel there was warmth and affection in them. He's always been like this. She has a warm heart that I have never seen in my life except when I was with my Mom and Dad. He's this sincere.Oh my God.
"I will always be with you and accompany you. I'm not gonna let him touch you again, okay?" Whispers entertained me.
I nodded my head in understanding but the worry in my heart was still not gone. I was obviously very afraid of the reaction of my parents. Could it be that they would look at me disdainfully like the people out there?
"But what about my parents, Mom? Do they still want to accept me as their daughter?" Ask doubt.
He smiled broadly, his hand no longer holding my cheek but holding the top of my head. I felt that big hand start rubbing the top of my head, moving regularly over the top of my head so that I could feel how sincere the touch of his hand was tonight.
"Figures, they're both your parents and no one else. They know you better than me or anyone else. Because they know you, they understand you. They are the best house in the world for you. In this world they are the most sincere and loving people to you. If you feel pain then the first person who will be in pain is the two of them. If you are hurt by someone else then the first person to get angry is the two of them. They feel everything you feel, worry about you, worry about you, and are happy for you, because what is Anggi? Because they are both your parents. They are your parents, Anggi. The people closest to you in the world. The first person who is always there and trying to fulfill your wishes. They are the people who have great merit in raising you to grow into the Anggi I know. It is a place that will never disappoint you. So why should you worry that they cannot accept you back when they themselves are the best home for you in the world? Right, Anggi. They will always extend their hands to you, being the top and the best place for you to lean. So, don't be afraid. Never be afraid of their reaction. Rather than them rejecting you, I'd rather believe that they would reject your ex-husband. After all, no one wants if his child is hurt by other men and even traded, no Anggi. Because they are your parents. So calm your mind now and rest assured, everyone will always be with you. I promise you, no matter what happens, I will always be with you. I will never leave you. Did you hear what I said?" Whisper to me.
Mas Adit, everything he said, everything he said from his lips, and every word he said made my tight heart feel better. It was like there were thousands of butterflies flying in my stomach. Moving wildly spread the spring breeze to drive away the fear in my heart.
Oh my God, look at this man I love. He was so good, so good, and so warm. He was created with a million good things in him that I could not afford. I was so fascinated by the charm of kindness and the touch of warmth from within him. God, I often think that this man is too amazing for me. He's too good for me, and he's too unreachable. But I still want to be selfish, God. I don't want to let go because I want to have him completely. I want to be the only woman with whom I have ever been in my life, even though I was too dirty for her.
I. I just don't want to lose him and I don't want him to be owned by another woman. Pair me with him, O Lord. Don't let him go because my heart has fallen too much for him. I really can't imagine this man falling into another woman's arms.
"Hey, don't cry. Everything must be fine. I will always be with you." Adit held my face back. His large hand moved lightly wiping away the traces of tears melting from within my eyes.
"Mas Adit's.." Call me while taking her hand off my cheek.
I clasped his hand as tightly as possible. My chest is tight from crying too much.
"What's wrong?" I looked confused.
I tried not to cry anymore but my tears would not listen to my orders. So I was helpless and just let it go.
I smiled faintly, shifted my body to get closer to him and slowly grabbed his shoulder for me to hug as tightly as possible. And I was even more relieved when I felt a reciprocal hug from Mas Adit. She wrapped around my waist and back then hugged her tightly.
In his arms I was made to cry again. I cried as much as I could and Adit's mas this time didn't ask me to stop again. Mas Adit did not say anything but one of his hands continuously stroked my back to spread a sense of security and comfort. Strange, this little act made me stop crying. My tears miraculously stopped coming out again. Maybe because of the calmness and security that Adit gives or maybe because I am relieved to be able to hug the person I love as much as I can.
It's such a relief.

The glass door of Adit's car was knocked from the outside. I rubbed my face on Adit's wet clothes in embarrassment - I was instantly shocked as soon as I realized my actions. Adit's clothes got wet from my tears and stupidly again I wiped my face there!
"Ah.I'm sorry, mas." I said in a panic as I let go of our embrace.
I took the tissue from my bag and used it to wipe my face. Suddenly Adit laughed next to me. I don't know what Adit's laughing at, but it might have something to do with me. Uh, is the makeup on my face messy?!
This is so embarrassing!
How could my makeup be broken!

The glass door of Adit's car was knocked back. I looked out curiously and saw the excited eyes of my son Aldo.
Oh my God, because it was too cool to cry I forgot that we were both still in front of my house.
"That's Aldo. He seemed to have been impatient to meet his father." Mas said Adit with a strange smile on his lips.
"His father?" I'm confused.
It's not like the kids are outside
"I. Who else is his father other than me?" He said it surprised me.
Mas Adit looked a bit pouted as he said this. I laughed out. Adit looks too funny, God. Is he jealous? Oh, it's cute. But I'm really grateful that Adit cares so much about kids. Unlike the cases out there where stepfathers don't like party kids uh, just talk stepdad. Duh Anggi, Anggi! Not even married yet, he thought far away!
"Let's get off. The kids are standing in front of the car." Mas Adit said.
I saw my face in the mirror. Safe. After fixing my makeup, we immediately got out of the car and were immediately greeted by the warm embrace of the children.
"Father, Mommy!" Shouted the children while throwing himself into my arms and mas Adit.
Mas Adit immediately caught Aldo and raised him as high as possible. Aldo immediately shouted loudly suddenly raised high by the Adit mas. He looked frightened but at the same time also enjoyed a warm welcome.
"Mam, I want to be like Aldo's brother!" Shouted Aldi to me wanting to be lifted high.
I stared blankly at the body of my son who was no longer considered small. Actually I can lift it but it can't be as high as Adit's mas. I was afraid that when I forced myself to do it, Aldi would fall or apesnya, we both would fall.
"Mama-"
He immediately lowered Aldo to the ground and took over Aldi. Aldi was very happy because he was raised high by the Adit mas. He screamed so frenziedly followed by his crisp laughter.
"Aldi and Aldo can't scream, son. Our neighbors will be disturbed and angry." I said reminding them both.
It's already 10 p.m., the neighbors must be resting right now in their homes. Um, the children's voices are disturbing but I'm glad to hear them. If the neighbors are angry later I can compensate or apologize for disturbing them. So, let's just say I don't want to stop. I love to see my children happy and I also love to hear the laughter of my children so it doesn't matter what it feels like to face the anger of others.
I think every mother has this affection, although well, to be honest I'm a bit brutal.
"Higher still, Papa!" Shouted Aldi still not tired of floating.
While Aldo was clamoring for a change of position,"Papa Aldo's turn! I want to go up and fly!"
I stroked the top of Aldo's head to feel the joy of the children.
"More tomorrow, yeah. It's late now, I know Papa's still tired of coming home from work." I said to persuade Aldo.
Mas Adit was exhausted and coaxed a break, I could not forget this important matter and had to immediately bring him inside.
"Papa?" That annoying sound went into my ear again.
I glanced at him lightly without any hint of friendly attitude.
He walked a few steps closer to us and stopped a few meters away from me after getting a sharp glare from the Adit mas.
"Come, did you forget? I'm a child's father and not him." He said it made me sick.
"What are you doing here? Are you afraid of being caught by the police?" Ask irritated.
He wandered everywhere and even dared to come to my house, wasn't he afraid of being caught by the police? Or is he not afraid of me or of Adit's mas reporting it to the police?
He was strangely not angry at my words. His dull face smiling widely looked very relaxed.
"With you here, why should I be afraid?" Said lightly.
I'm so mad. My hand unconsciously raised wanted to grab something on the ground to throw it, but Mas Adit pulled my hand. He pulled my hand and took me to his side.
"Aldo, Aldi. Go inside and sleep. Tomorrow you go to school so you have to get up early. Understood?" Adit said to the children.
***
The children look reluctant to leave them but under Adit's flat expression, they end up obediently leaving.
The submissive reactions of the children in front of Adit made Doni unhappy. He's upset because here he's the biological father of the children and not Adit. Then the children should listen more to his commands than Adit.
"Aldo and Aldi, don't go in. I still want to play with you guys. Don't you miss Dad? We haven't seen each other in a long time." Doni said to both of them.
Aldo and Aldi saw Doni longing but they did not walk closer. They have the understanding that in this house Adit is the head of the family and their Papa. As long as the father disappeared, he was always there for them, teaching them to learn to read and count, buying them gifts, and making grandmothers and grandfathers laugh often. If papa is not there they will not be able to feel how sweet it is to have a Papa. And if Papa is not there, then his mother will be lonely. So naturally they listen to Adit more than Doni.
They do not want Adit to be angry because, once Adit is angry, they will not be able to play or receive gifts again. But the most important thing is that Adit will not want to accompany them anymore.
"Sorry dad. Papa says we have to go to school tomorrow and get up early, so we can't sleep late." Said Aldo, the most mature of the two.
Doni's mouth twitched.
"Well, you know you're going to school tomorrow. But I still want to play with you guys. Come here, don't you want to see dad and mom back together again? If mom and dad get back together, you won't be lonely at home." Persuade Doni to children.
Children are the most powerful weapon to pull Anggi back with him. If the boys insist they are back together, then there is at least a chance for Doni to reclaim Anggi's heart. This plan he had been thinking about since the last time they met so he would not waste it after getting the chance.
Aldi and Aldo were confused. Mama and Dad used to live together, but I left my mom alone and cried so easily. Now Mama lives with Papa and never cries again. In fact they have a nice house and lots of toys that their classmates love.
Seeing from these little thoughts Mama should be happy with Papa and they should not be separated. Otherwise, you'll cry a lot, and they won't have any more toys.
"But.but mama likes to cry if the same father first." Said Aldi with his special childish voice.
"Yes, Mama likes to laugh with Papa." Said Aldo plain.
They stared at Doni with their big eyeballs, looking pure and innocent at the same time. The children's answers practically make Anggi touched and embarrassed. Embarrassed because his secret was known to Adit.
The most surprising thing was that he never expected that children would notice these details at that time. He thought children only knew about play and did not care much about adult affairs. The fact is that the kids are very attentive to him. Her fault was too busy working for money and ignored the attention of her two children.
"Kids are always honest." Adit said with a big smile on his handsome face.
She was very satisfied because the children knew which was best for them and their mama. And how proud Adit is because kids have the right choice for the future. After a long time with children, they finally understand that not all happiness is solved by desire but rather through a way that happiness is formed.
"Now go in and sleep. Tomorrow morning when you two wake up, Papa has a present for both of you." Adit said in a good mood.
"Gift, really, Pa?!" Aldo was very excited.
Adit nodded generously.
"Sleep and get it in the morning. If you don't go to sleep then sorry, that gift you'll never get." Adit said seriously.
"Ye, presents! Okay, Pa. Now we're going to sleep. Bye Papa, Mama! Dad too!" After that Aldi and Aldo ran into the house.
They scrambled to get into the room and shouted who first touched the mattress.
Their voices are very lively and crisp. Anggi's eyes suddenly reddened from being moved.
"Thank you." Whisper Gentle Anggi to Adit's ears.
"Hem?" Adit further lowered his head for Adit to touch his ears.
Shame on me, "Thank you for being such a great Dad to kids." Discovered sincerely.
Anggi admitted it honestly if the children are much more cheerful and colorful since knowing Adit. Under Adit's care, the children grew up to be organized and controlled. They play at playtime and they learn at a time when they learn.
Without Adit, maybe Anggi will have trouble organizing children even though she is the mother of Aldi and Aldo.
"We know.." Adit laughed loosely, pulling Anggi into his arms while whispering, "This is a task that only a Papa can do." Whisper Adit with his domineering hoarse voice.
Anggi's heart is beating fast. Adit's charm is too dangerous. They are just like this the effect is already amazing for his health especially when more than this. Anggi could not imagine it.
"Good, huh. Strike children with gifts. Do you think my kids are that cheap?!" Said Doni wrathfully for being ignored by the two of them.
Seriate...
It's gonna be over, huh!
