The Curse of Love
Part 40 I'm Upset But Still in Love
Hours 16.00. The office staff went home. On the 1st floor there are only a few who have not come home, I don't know who is on the 2nd floor. I started cleaning employee desks littered with garbage and food scraps. Assisted by Fina's mother for a while before she climbed to the 2nd floor.
I glanced towards the small alley leading to the back of Miko's room. I wish he had come home.
I had to hurry.Tadi Dina called that Juned and Syifa had started to fuss because they were left to work all day.
My work was almost done when I looked out of the corner of my eye the door of Miko's room opened.
I pretended not to see it, engrossed in cleaning the remaining tables.
"Later please clean my room yes.after the room is locked, the key is entrusted security."
Without saying any more, he left me. The sharpness of his face was flat and cold inversely proportional to the Miko I knew. But thank God he had forgotten about his talk this afternoon to take me home.
an hour later, my job was all over. I called Fina's mom to ask her permission to go home.
I quickly cleaned my bag and left. Fucked my mind hearing Dina say her sisters fuss all over.
"Noah.nih angkot on where yes this afternoon very quiet passing."
"Where is this..." I took the initiative to walk first while waiting for the angkot.
The feeling of the black car from earlier was behind me continuously. I speed up my steps so that I quickly get to the big road that many angkot and then tares.
A little away from the office, the car stopped right next to me. The window opened with a face I knew very well. He opened the sunglasses perched on his nose.
"Now...." He opened the door.
"But I want to go home Miko. My children are already fussy all waiting for my return."
"Come on Nia's sister.let me drive you home..."
With a heavy heart I got into his car. I don't know why a dozen years did not meet and be with him again, making me feel afraid.
"We go home first.Pity your son at home..." He drove his car at a moderate speed.
We were both silent and did not talk.I also did not know where to start talking and about what.
"Where is your husband and where do you work? Why would he let you work by leaving your children from early morning to late afternoon."
I who did not expect to get such a question stammered. Confused to answer what..masa I want to say mas Sofwan crazy and taken away his family and after recovering he filed for divorce to remarry with another woman of his family choice? What will Miko say hearing it all.
"Why are you silent? Is there a secret you're hiding from me?"
He stopped his car in front of the supermarket.
"Kok we get down here Ko?" I looked at him.
"Come down.we'll shop for your needs and your children."
I dare not argue with him. In the past, if I saw a bit of his annoying behavior, I immediately scolded him and as usual he would put a sullen look and then wrestle spoiled on my shoulder or arm.
We went inside with the gaze of many eyes that looked at us with various kinds of judgments about us.
I walked behind him, but..."Why walk behind me, brother..." He then grabbed my hand and held it tightly."
"Silver Ko...?" I clenched my grip on his hand while looking at my left right.
I'm like an ash-upik who walks with a handsome prince. Fortunately, before I went home, I had changed my work uniform with ordinary clothes.
"No need to look left right.cueki..." He smiled faintly looking at my hand that was tightly grasping his fingers.
Though he was always so exactly like a child who was afraid of losing his mother.
He picked up the grocery cart and pushed her towards the children's snack section.
"Aren't you ashamed of the same way Nia's sister Ko is?" I whispered softly.
"Sir...wasn't Nia ever asked the same thing..Of course you still remember Miko's answer at that time?"
"Sister..is there rice in your house and other kitchen needs?" Without further ado, he immediately spoke to the point.
I kept quiet and again remembered that the morning cooking was indeed rice at home only a kilo, the eggs were only 3 eggs that I set for my lunch as well as to eat children at home.
He looked at me who didn't answer his question.
"Ck.ck..you eventually think dear...." He pushed the train towards the kitchen's needs.
I flinch at the name he just said..."
"Darling....? I used to call him that if I got upset with him again, now he called me that."
Take rice, sugar, cooking oil, eggs and instant noodles. Then after feeling quite driven by the cashier shopping cart.
"lucky mom has a husband who wants to shop for her own kitchen needs." Said the cashier smilingly looking at us.
"Well..." I stammered.but Miko quickly responded.
"Yes mbak...My wife is pregnant young so please do your own shopping."
I glanced at him.What the heck Miko is playing.
"The total is 300 thousand rupiah sir..." He took out three hundred pieces of money from inside his wallet and immediately paid.
"Mas can get you to my car, right?" Then my groceries were picked up by the male shopkeeper to Miko's car.
"What the hell are you Ko..say my husband all, use say I'm pregnant young again!!"
"And I've been saying for a long time.I'm your husband's candidate.not him.he only came for a moment to make a false happiness and then went away again and disappeared."
"How did you know my husband left?" I turned my body to face him.
"Lho... It was Nia's own sister who just said that your husband left."
"Now we talk using logic and reality alone, brother, a wife whose job is to take care of children, take care of her husband.intinya take care of the household."
"If there is a woman who has had children, but is willing to leave her children outside the house to make a living...according to my judgment there are only two possibilities..divorce or die....yes, right?"
I shut up and threw my eyes out the window. I could not see my eyes dewy at his words.
"I cannot see you cry most, much less because of that person.there is also hatred in every word."
Then we kept quiet and didn't speak to each other again, after I told you the address.
"Sister.we have arrived...Miko parked the car next to the house."
All three of my children ran out of the house to meet me. Juned and Syifa seemed to be crying.
"Mamak.why so long ago came home.the sisters were already on fuss and crying."
"Now you don't have to cry...See what you brought?" Miko held up the snack bag and the only filling bag for the kitchen."
Syifa and Juned suddenly stopped crying.they looked at Miko first..."Who is this?"Juned asked directly.
"Your father-to-be..." Miko answered lightly.
"Miko come in first yuk..later I'll make you drink." I immediately cut off Miko's conversation so as not to add ngawur."
"Come here the same om!!! He entered while holding Juned and Syifa."
"Om who's mom?" Dina whispered to me...
"My mom's friend was at school..." My answer!!! There's no way I'd say Miko was my ex-boyfriend."
