The Wife You Divorced
Missing Aluna


This afternoon, Ms. Retno was still pensive in front of the terrace of her house. Looks like there's something he's thinking about right now.


Maybe he was thinking about his granddaughter Aluna. It's been a week, Aluna's been living with Mila. And during that time, Miss Retno felt very lost.


Usually, Aluna always invites Miss Retno to chat and joke. Now without Aluna, Miss Retno is lonely.


His new son and daughter-in-law, too, seemed to care less about Ms. Retno. They are just busy with their respective affairs without wanting to pay attention and care for Retno who is getting older.


When there was still Mila at Adnan's house, Mila who was always a chattermate for Ms. Retno. Mila also always helps with homework. So that Bu Retno feels lighter work.


But since there was Monika in the house, it was just the opposite. Ms Retno felt like she was being made a baby by her new daughter-in-law.


Because since Monika moved to Bu Retno's house, she was completely unwilling to help Bu Retno's work such as sweeping, cooking, washing dishes, mopping and helping other work.


All of Miss Retno's working on it. Monika just washed her own clothes and her husband's clothes.


"Aluna, you don't miss Grandma. Grandma is very kangen with you Aluna," said Ms Retno on the sidelines of her daydream.


On the sidelines of Bu Retno daydreaming, Ms Retno was surprised by the sound of car horns from outside her home.


"Adnan, Monika, the clock is coming home this morning" said Ms. Retno.


Adnan got out of his car. After that, he opened the gate of his house. Adnan got back in the car and drove into the garage.


Monika and Adnan got out of the car and walked to the front porch of her house. They looked at Bu Retno who was currently sitting alone on the terrace.


"Why is mom here? use all daydreaming events," said Monika.


Miss Retno looked at Monika sharply.


"Mother again misses Aluna's mother's granddaughter. Ever since she joined Mila, I've been lonely" Ms Retno said.


Adnan was silent for a moment when Bu Retno mentioned Aluna's name.


"I also miss Miss Aluna" said Adnan.


Ms. Retno looked at Adnan. "Adnan, why don't you ask Aluna to stay here again with us?"


"Mom, just let Aluna be with Mila. Poor Aluna Bu, she might miss her mother again. He doesn't want me to come here yet. Milla will definitely contact us if Aluna wants to come back here" said Adnan.


"Adnan's. You are now changing. You used to forbid Mila to meet her son. But now why did you let Aluna stay with Mila?" ask Miss Retno.


"Because I realized, Aluna's not just my son. But Mila's son too. I am not selfish, Mom. From now on, I'll free Mila to meet her son."


"Thank God that you are aware of Adnan" said Ms. Retno.


Monika smiles. Monika is happier without Aluna. Because he did not want Adnan's affection to be divided for Aluna as well.


Monika wants Adnan to focus on her pregnancy program. Monika does not want Adnan to always think about Aluna, therefore Monika always brainwashes Adnan so that Adnan will let Aluna go from her life.


"Come on, we're in!" bring Monika.


"Yes dear."


Monika and Adnan then enter his house. Meanwhile, Ms. Retno was still amazed by the attitude of her son. Since marrying Monika, Adnan has changed a lot.


Adnan is more obedient to his new wife. He's spoiling Monika too much. What Monika wanted, Adnan always followed. And it seems that in a moment, Monika will succeed in making Adnan forget about Aluna.


"Why did Adnan get so weird. Ah, instead of thinking about them, I better call Mila. I want to hear Aluna's voice" said Ms. Retno.


Ms Retno then went inside her house to look for her phone. Ms. Retno picked up her phone that was on the middle room table. He then pressed Mila's number.


Moments later, Mila's voice was heard from behind the phone.


"Hello. Assalamualaikum."


"Wa'alakiumsalam Mil."


"Mothers. What's up, Mom?"


"How's Aluna Mil doing?"


"Aluna is good, Mom is like me. I don't have to worry about Aluna."


"Actually I called, because I miss Aluna. Ever since Aluna lived with you, I haven't had any friends to talk to."


"Lho Ma'am. There is Monika Ma'am. I'll let him talk."


"Ah, I don't like that woman. He's different from you Mil. Where would he talk to Mom. The guy he came home just to eat and sleep."


"Why are you talking like that?"


"The reality is like that Mil. Ever since she lived here, never once has she helped do mommy work at home. He only has his own. The rest of the mother likes to cook, sweep, mop..."


"Patience is Mom. His name is also he just lived there. It took him a lot of time to adjust. I used to be that too."


"But Monika is different from you Mil. He did not want to get along with his mother. He's so cute. Adnan is also now following along with mother.


"Where does one have a home?"


"Sacred is outside the city."


"Oh..."


"Mom want to talk to Aluna? this is Aluna near me."


"Yes. Please give the phone to Aluna."


Moments later, Aluna's voice came from behind the phone.


"Hello grandma."


"Hello Aluna's. Grandma misses you, Aluna."


"Luna misses grandma. But Luna hasn't come home yet. Luna still lives here."


"Yes. Its nothing. Grandma is just talking to you. Grandma doesn't have any friends."


"Yes Nek."

This afternoon, Aluna and Mila were still sitting in the living room. They still love watching Aluna's favorite cartoon movie.


"Assalamualaikum.." Zaki's voice was already heard from outside the house.


Mila, who had been relaxing with her son in the living room, went to the living room to welcome Zaki home.


"Wa'alakiumsalam Mas" said Mila.


"Mil, please bring me my bag. Put it in the room."


"Yes, it's."


Mila took the bag that was in Zaki's hand. He then walked away to Zaki's room to put the bag down.


Arriving in the living room, Zaki smiled as he looked at Aluna. Aluna at this time, still focused on staring at the screen tivi.


Zaki approached Aluna. He then slammed into his body and sat down by Aluna's side.


"Aluna is so serious, son, what are you watching?" ask Zaki.


Aluna looked towards Zaki. He smiled when he saw Zaki.


"Om Zaki's home?"


"Yes. See what else?"


"Cartoon film Om. It's really exciting Om. I want to watch it too."


"Om tired again. Later, if Om has a holiday, we play together. Go to the room first. Take a shower and change."


"Yes Om."


Zaki got up from his seat. After that he went to his room.


Arriving in front of the room door, Zaki passed Mila.


"Eh, Mas Zaki. Want me to make you drink? or do I have warm water for a bath?" ask Mila.


"Not to Mil. You accompany your child. He's alone watching tivi."


"Yes, that's it. But if Mas Zaki needs anything, call me right away."


"Yes Mil."


Zaki then went inside his room. While Mila, back to the living room to approach her son.


"Honey, we're going to yuk's room. I want maghrib. We get ready to pray first!" said Mila after arriving in the middle room.


"Turn off the fingers, baby."


Aluna turned to Mila.


"Well, again Ma. Why be killed."


"Honey. Watching live can be later. We get ready to pray first yuk!" bring Mila.


Aluna nodded. He took out a tivi remote and turned off that tivi channel. After that Aluna followed Mila to the room.


Since living with Mila, Aluna became diligent in worship, especially praying five times. Because Mila is a woman who is diligent in worship. He always taught his children and educated his children with good upbringing.


Different when Aluna was still in Adnan's house. Adnan and Bu Retno let Aluna play as she pleased. They actually pamper Aluna by obeying all Aluna's wishes without teaching Aluna to worship and invite her to pray.
