Sold My Husband and Bought My Ex-Boyfriend
The Hundred and Seventeen

Two dishes of fried rice made by Vanya presented in plain sight. Marco enjoyed the delicious food typical of the country +62 with a happy heart.

For Marco it was the most delicious meal, surpassing the twelve million steak he used to enjoy in a fancy restaurant with his family or business colleagues.

After finishing serving two dishes of fried rice and eating a piece of bread, Vanya said goodbye to the back, doing some homework that had not been stretched.

Vanya did deliberately avoid excessive interaction with Marco because it was still a little awkward. Moreover, he had just turned himself in after cursing the man all-out.

While putting the dirty clothes of the neighbors into the old washing machine behind the house, Vanya pensively thought about the words of the grandmother as she explained that she had made up with Marco.

'Good if you've forgiven, the sooner the better," said grandma relaxed.

Vanya interjected, 'Actually this is too fast, Grandma. Marco has made a lot of mistakes. If the women of this world knew I forgave her so soon, maybe they would blaspheme me the dumbest woman in the world!'

'Just leave! If they dare to do that to you, just as they are insulting themselves. Basically our hearts are designed gently to be loving and patient. They insult you, but grandma believes they did the same to her husband and loved ones. The woman could not be angry for long, let alone at her husband. As with any mistake husband, if he has regretted and apologized, surely we will forgive.'

'Yes Nek, when Adit apologized and admitted his regret, my heart was also immediately moved to forgive, but was reluctant to return with him.'

'That's how women are! It is not about stupid or ignorant logic, but about the conscience embedded in the deepest part of the heart. Although you have not forgiven Marco verbally, but grandma knows that the corner of your heart has forgiven him from far away. It's just that humans need a confession, that's why grandma told you to quickly forgive that guy. A strong feeling is not good if held back! Grandma knows you're waiting for her, grandma knows you miss her too.

'Where does Grandma know how I feel on that one? I just don't understand it myself, ' said Vanya.

'From the way you self-medicate every day, you feel already owned, willing to refuse other men into your life because there is a heart that you are guarding. Unknowingly all this time you did all that for Marco.'

And that's when Vanya started to ponder. What Grandma said is true. If selfishness and hate did not envelop human feelings, there might not be any arguments and quarrels going on today. Even so Vanya was happy because he and Marco were able to get through this problem.

'Marriage is not about finding happiness. If you think it's going to be like that, it's better not to get married for life. Marriage can be likened to a strap, so that we can stand shoulder to shoulder through the challenges and trials of God with our beloved partner.'

Grandma's last words sounded so beautiful. Vanya will apply that in his life to deal with a possibly much bigger problem. With Marco, he believes the problem will pass perfectly.

"Van!" Marco's baritone voice jolted the woman from the daydream. "What are you doing? Why so noisy?"

The man leaned his body near the wall. His eyes were on an old washing machine. Also a pile of clothes that filled many buckets and large tubs.

"Have you eaten?" ask Vanya while turning off the washing machine that is in drying mode.

Marco nodded. His eyes were still fixed on the pile of clothes that had just been washed. "Your laundry is so much, aren't you two just three?"

"It's a neighbor's shirt, besides working on the farm, I'm also a worker doing the neighbor's laundry."

"Neighbors?"

Hearing that Marco's eyebrows furrowed. A second later sadness began to appear adorning part of his face. He did not like and did not want Vanya to do such work.

"I'm sorry, Van! You've done anything for my son Ella. But I'll make sure this is the last time, from tomorrow you don't have to work anymore."
