The Choice of Mom
Let's Try It
Marital Narration Chapter 5
By Sept
Lia never knew, that she would be reunited with people from the past. As she tries to forget everything and gets used to receiving her past wounds. Suddenly the man came back, contacting Lia. The two promised to meet when Lia returned.
Until the promised day, at which time Lia was off work. In a city on the island of Borneo. The two promise to meet, Lia does not know that Andis, her former fiance is on the same island. They met on Sunday afternoon at one of the cafes.
The one who arrived first was Lia, and she looked very nervous. Long lost news, actually he was curious as well. Despite saving such great disappointment in the man.
Lia's eyes looked around, there was no sign of the existence of the man she was waiting for, until she finally glanced at the cellphone. He looked in the mirror, and saw the appearance of his face. Make up is still on, not yet worn off. In fact he looks a lot more glowing than he did a few years ago.
"Is he lying?" muttered Lia while restlessly staring at the watch in her hand.
He waited for a quarter of an hour, and his ex never came.
Almost giving up, maybe the guy is working on it. Lia finally resigned. He ordered another drink, he stirred with straws, to drive away the boredom.

"Fix ... she really hasn't changed!" lia's grumbling who was irritated from feeling cheated.
As he moved, suddenly from afar he saw a man who was missed. The figure of the man who had long been the source of his pain.
Lia sat back down, acting calm. Even though his heart was already dead. This is the first meeting after a long time apart.
"Stay calm, Lia!" he murmured when he saw the figure of the man who came closer.
A well-built man, a clean face and glasses hung in his pocket. From far away he walked with confidence. How did he not fall in love? Andis Hermansyah was indeed able to make him fascinated.
"Sorry, there was an accident on the road" Andis said, then sat down.
Lai nodded.
Andis then called the waiter, he ordered his own drinks, because Lia did not order a drink.
After the servant left, he then said his heart, but before the pleasantries first, asked for news.
"How are you?"
"Okay" Lia replied briefly.
"Thank God," Andis said and took out a paper from the bag.
The man then took out his pen, and began to speak seriously.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, since last year. I heard that you are still in Kalimantan, this is my leave to meet you," said Andis with a flat expression, not like a former lover who long friends and then grows the seeds of longing. He looks formal and a little bit clingy.
It makes Lia upset, it turns out that a lot of time changes everything, the love that once thrived as if lost, arid not remaining.
"What's this?"
"Please sign here, I need your signature."
Lia saw the file.
"This what?" ask Lia once again because suddenly ask for a signature. He's not an artist.
Andis took a deep breath, then started to explain.
"This is a power of attorney, do you remember when we were dating? It's about the house we'll live in if we're married, I did buy and pay, but I used to buy in your name. Now I want to sell, I hope you sign."
Lia's forehead immediately shrunk. He just found out about it. Lia was still stunned, she was chased up to Kalimantan just for these letters? Not for anything else?
"What the hell is this, Ndis?" ask Lia who protested. Not because I want the right to the house, no. He just wants to be appreciated. And ask for clarity, why is their marriage void?
"Nothing I meant, I just wanted to sell it, after my son was born. We'll move on" Andis said without a burden.
As for Lia's eyes, Andis's answer seemed to be a sword piercing straight into her heart.
Emotionally, Lia immediately signed. Then move.
Satisfied Andis got the signature, because all this time the certificate was not in his name, and it made his wife jealous. Until he looks for Lia everywhere.
Meanwhile, Lia was instantly driving with a furious feeling. The fact that Andis has forgotten everything, will even have children, enough to make him thrown out of reality.
A few days later.
Lia's world feels much more bleak, it's better she doesn't know the news of an already happy ex, than now back on slump and failed to move on.
Until one day, Lia's superior called. Because Lia's job is so bad. Professional Lia suddenly her workers messed up, until she was scolded by her superiors.
He went straight home to work, without taking a shower, without eating, straight into bed. Until 9 p.m., his phone rang. This time it was a phone call, not a video call as usual.
"Yes." Yeah."
"What meda?" ask the man across the phone. Who else if not the PNS.
"You're sleeping" Lia replied flatly.
"Oh .. okay sorry to bother."
"Hem."
The phone was disconnected by Lia, because now it is in turmoil.
That's how Lia's attitude so far, in PDKT in the same Arman always mental. Until the day he had to return home for his uncle's son's spell.
He prayed that he would be sick that day so that he could not go home. However, his body turned out to be healthy wal Afiat, inevitably, he came home that day.

He said Asih was the one who picked him up, but he was very surprised, because the one who came was even a male figure who liked caper to him all this time.
"Lia!" call that man. And Lia had to smile forcefully.
"Mom must have told you!" rutuk Lia in heart.
"Here, I bring it!" the man immediately snatched the suitcase from Lia's hand.
"No, Mom."
"Nothing, you must be tired" said the man wearing the brown uniform.
"Not work, Mom?"
"Jin for a moment" he said.
"Your genie?"
"Yes, work is done. Ask a friend for a moment. Kasian you no one picked up," he said friendly.
"Jeez ... This guy .. is good, handsome, but why not get into the heart at all?" gerutu Lia who still has no chemistry with the figure of the man who was betrothed by his mother.
Arriving at the trip, Arman nyerocos at length, and Lia only answered ham hem only.

Lia's parents' residence.
Miss Damri immediately excited himself, especially there just so happened to be a big family stopping by at home.
"Well, it's Lia coming home."
"Who's the guy?" chirps aunt Lia who has been to the po. I have a nephew not married.
"With his son Pak Lurah," said Bu Damri a little proud. Or a little cocky.
"Times?"
Everyone did not believe it, but after Arman went down and brought Lia's suitcase into the house, Arman immediately became the center of attention. Though their niece and just arrived was Lia, but the girl was ignored.
"Lia's date?" chirps tantenya Lia.
Lia immediately glared, while Arman just threw a friendly smile.
"Doain, Aunt" said Arman.
"Okay, definitely dong .. surely we pray. Do not delay. Just wait, what else. Later if too old, have children is also a risk," said Aunt Lia the most famous, and make Lia sour.
Meanwhile, Arman was smiling.
"Yes, Auntie .. please just pray."
Arman grew increasingly, making Lia grunt in annoyance.
Unwilling to listen to them talk a no-no, Lia excuse me to go back, inside Miss Damri followed. And Lia protested to her mother.
"Bu .. everything is misunderstood!"
Miss Damri mlengos, he pretended to prepare a drink.
"We're not related, ma'am."
"God! Everyone will hear."
"Bu ..." protest Lia.
"Alright, Lia. What less is Arman? You want to find a model husband how?"
Replace Lia who threw away face.
"Don't make Lia get married, Mom."
"Then you want to be a spinster forever?"
Lia was about to cry when her mother said that. Unwilling to argue, he immediately came out, and passed Armad.
The man realized something was wrong, then followed Lia to the front door of his room.
"Lia ..."
Inside her room Lia sighed deeply, then rubbed her face.
CLAMPS
He opened the door, then looked at Arman deeply.
"Like Lia? But Lia does not like the same Mas," said Lia rudely.
Arman gulped, then tried to smile, even though he looked bland.
"I know," said Arman calmly.
Lia was stunned, then looked up at the man who was much taller than her.
"But .. let's try!" said Arman again.
I don't know, when he looked at Lia for the first time, it seemed like he had already fallen in love at first sight.
