The Boy for the Widow

The Boy for the Widow
Child as a tool


The atmosphere was getting cooler, when the rain fell on the small town that became the most comfortable place for Lyra, to continue her life as a career woman as well as single parents for the sake of her favorite daughter, Kesy.


For more than two weeks Lyra has been living in her parents' house, accompanied by Mama and Papa who accidentally come from across to give strength to the princess in the face of a divorce with Dony.


Two weeks also Dony no longer search for Lyra's whereabouts or terrorize her.


Lyra came out of the room that was located opposite the family room, and a mini bar. He went to the dining room, saw his mother preparing their dinner.


Lince, the 60-year-old middle-aged retired State Civil Apparatus across from.


Meanwhile, Papa Lyra, who has the full name Boy Carles looks more assertive after ending his service as a BUMN Employee across after passing the service period for 32 years.


Yes, Boy's service period as an employee is quite long compared to the wife, who has a distance of age far enough between Lince and Boy.


Boy is busy playing guitar with Kesy, because since retirement music is the best world.


Kesy seems happier, as he gets more attention from Opa and Oma, who always pick him up at his new school, in order to ease Lyra's current burden.


Lyra sat down at the dinner table, with the towel still covering her head, having performed her ritual upon arriving home.


Lyra tasted lince's rica-rica shrimp dishes that she missed so much.


The hard character of both parents in educating their two daughters' sons who seemed more independent after choosing to marry by the choice of their hearts.


Lince took the white rice into a container, for their dinner, while telling his daughter, "There was a letter from the Religious Court stating for mediation. Have you and Dony mediated in repairing your relationship?" tanyakanya.


Lyra took a deep breath, "I don't want to continue the marriage with Dony. Whatever it is, I'm still getting divorced. No mediation or anything. I have also asked my friend for help to represent the mediation tomorrow!" said affirm.


Lince sat in front of Lyra, looking at her daughter's pretty face that looked very pale after deciding to part with Dony. It even looks old because it faces problems that have been very disturbing his mind all this time.


"Listen to Lyra, Mama's been talking to Kesy. He loves Dony as Papa. Poor him, he's suffered enough because of you. Giving up doesn't hurt. Don't be too selfish as a parent. Think of the child too, you can move from there. Staying here, it's important that Kesy has full parents!" lince said full of feeling and gentleness.


Lyra stared fixedly at Lince's eyes which also looked at her, again asking, "Mama yesterday always supported me to separate from Dony. Why do I have to go back to him?"


Lince let out a long sigh, he massaged the temple, shook his head slowly, "Mama look at Kesy, son! You grew up in a great family like us. While Dony, you have to pull Dony out of his family for the sake of Kesy! Look he's very happy to play with Papa. I'm sure you're both still selfish. Try it, come to court. Attend mediation, after that it's up to you. Think Kesy, Son! Kesy's future and your daughter's happiness. Dony loves his daughter too."


Lyra smiled faintly at Lince's face, "It's not that I don't care about Kesy or Dony, Ma. But in addition to his family, Dony also established relationships with neighbors next door. That's what makes me not want to be with him. If a man eats a carcass, he will always choose a carcass, and will never be faithful. That's hard for me to forgive. Maybe if it's for Kesy, I can think of him. But since Dony has betrayed me, I've been determined to part ways, honestly" he explained.


Lince closed his lips, he did not expect that the son-in-law of the curse, also had the heart to cheat on his daughter.


According to Rita's story, which was conveyed to the middle-aged woman via a phone call, the real problem was because of Lyra who never took care of Kesy, who was the one who never took care of her, and rarely come home on time because busy with a career that increasingly demands more time Lyra spent at the office but at home. So Lyra's attention is not focused on the family. And the Dony family, did not accept because Lyra never took care of eating and drinking her own husband.


Lyra fell silent as Lince conveyed everything Rita said to her. The beautiful face immediately heated up, even re-ignited emotions because it felt cornered.


Lyra took a deep breath, rubbing her face rough, as soon as the hunger she felt turned full instantly. Tears that have not felt warm in the eyelids for a long time, again feel flooded and will flow profusely.


Lyra stood up, "Hmm, Mama was too trusting of what the two-faced woman was saying. He can talk! I'm still getting divorced from Dony. I don't care about everything he talks to everyone. For me, Kesy is my breath. All I did for her, and Mama could see how I was taking care of my children and my home! I rarely cook, but I always think about what they will eat when they are home. If you believe Rita more, please....! I don't want to communicate with them either!"


Lyra passed away leaving Lince, due to her feeling of disappointment towards the room. The frustration is mounting because the mother tries to ask her to re-establish a relationship with Dony.


Dony is an evil husband, who has the heart to torment him in a born and inward manner. Lyra did not want to tell all what her husband lacked, because it was a disgrace that she had to cover from her own family and the family of her ex-husband.


However, why did they roar as if Lyra had never noticed Dony all this time? Why did they never hear her to speak, opened up who her husband was during his eight-year, inner marriage.


Lyra again cried in her heart, again lamenting the life after marriage that never felt happiness like some coworkers, who always seemed perfect, especially after the presence of a child.


As Lyra was still lingering in her grief, she heard the sound of the door opening wide.


Kesy brought a plate of rice, and a glass of water for the mother, "Ma, eat first. Kesy bribe ya? Like first, when Mama is sick Kesy who always complies," he asked with a smiling face.


Lyra sat on the edge of the bed, hugging Kesy's tiny body, peeping gently on her daughter's forehead, "Please well baby! Oya, how's your school today? Do you feel at home in a new school?" his question shifted the heartache that returned to grieving.


Kesy nodded, again asking, "Mama promise won't be angry with Kesy?"


Lyra looked at the beautiful face of the beloved princess, "Hmm, just tell me! We are soulmates" he said slowly.


Kesy again covered his face, "Papa met Kesy earlier at school. He wants to take Kesy to Mami Rita's house on Saturday. Because Rey, celebrating her birthday."


Lyra let out a long sigh, her face stiffened, even looking like a fierce-looking woman, "Damn....why does she always make my child a tool to hurt me!?"
