The Wife You Divorced

The Wife You Divorced
Go home disappointed.


"Aluna, borrow here first. Oma wants to talk to your mom" said Ms. Retno.


"Yes Nek."


Aluna then gave the phone to her grandmother.


"Hello Mila's. Where are you now?"


"I'm in Maluku, Mom."


"In Maluku? it's a long way from a mile."


"Yes Mom. I've been here three days, Mom. Waiting for the Holy Mother."


"What pain did the Holy Mother have?"


"Holy Mother in a car accident. And now he's not conscious."


"Inalillahi wa innailaihi. How's the condition?"


"The condition is still critical ma'am."


"Oh my God, so sorry. I pray that Holy Mother can be saved and can be healed again."


"Yes Mom. Please accompany Aluna first, ma'am."


"Yes Mil. Aluna just misses you. He wants to call you, he said."


"Yes it's okay. But it's night time. Tell Aluna to sleep. Mom also rested. I don't have to think about anything either."


"You want to talk to Aluna again."


"No Ma'am. I'll call you back tomorrow. Tell Aluna she'll be home soon."


"Yes Mil."


"I'll hang up first, ma'am. Assalamualaikum."


"Wa'alakiumsalam."


After disconnecting her phone line, Ms. Retno looked at Aluna fixedly.


"You heard what your mom said. He told you to sleep. Aluna's night, call her tomorrow."


"Grandma, what did Mom say? and when did Mama come home?"


"He told you to sleep. And your mother said, she'll be home soon."


"Oh. That's it."


The roar of the car suddenly sounded from outside the house of Ms. Retno.


Retno and Aluna stared at each other.


"Who's this car, Grandma?" said Aluna.


Miss Retno pressed her shoulder.


"Grandmother doesn't know either. You wait here huh. Grandma wants to look ahead."


Aluna nodded. "Yes Nek."


Retno got up from her seat. After that he stepped into the living room to see who was coming. Miss Retno peeked out from behind the window. He was shocked when he saw Adnan's car in front.


"Lho, they're home. Three days later, why did I go home. He said they want a week there," said Ms Retno.


Ms. Retno hurriedly opened the door to welcome the arrival of her son and daughter-in-law. After that he approached Monika and Adnan who had gotten out of his car.


Adnan dragged the suitcase and carried it all the way to the terrace.


"Adnan, you've come home. Really quick?" ask Miss Retno.


"Yes Mom. My mind is not good. I kept thinking of Aluna" explained Adnan.


"Aluna is fine with Adnan. She's also the same mother."


Monika who was still upset with her husband hurriedly entered her house, without greeting and kissing her mother-in-law's hand.


"Why your wife? he's like a pissed-off guy."


"Emang he again upset with me, because I brought him home before his time to go home."


"Huh, you are this. Comein! it's night. I want to lock the door again."


"Yes, Mom."


"Where's Aluna, ma'am? must be sleeping, huh?" ask Adnan.


"Aluna is in the middle room. He hasn't slept Adnan."


"Tumben clock hasn't slept yet."


Arriving in the living room, Adnan and Bu Retno stopped their steps.


"Lord...!" Aluna, who saw Adnan coming, ran around and hugged her father.


Adnan let go of his embrace and looked at his son.


"Papa very quickly Pa came home. I thought, Papa wants to go home the day after tomorrow" said Aluna.


Adnan smile.


"No dear. Papa kangen is with you. Next time Papa goes for another walk, Papa wants to take you. Papa feels unfair, the streets are just the same mama Monika doang without ngajakin you."


"Papa, I'm lonely at home just like Grandma doang. I called Mama, and she's out of town now" Aluna said.


Adnan looked at Bu Retno fixedly.


"Right Mom, Mila's out of town?" ask Adnan.


"Yes." Yeah."


"Why is Mila out of town?"


"Say, Holy Mother was in a time accident outside the city."


"Where is he?"


"In my Maluku if it's not wrong."


"Away too far."


"I don't know how the story got that way. Mila is now there accompanying Holy Mother."


"Keep, how's Holy Ma'am doing?"


"Sacred critical."


"O Allah has great pity, Holy Mother. Hopefully he will be healed quickly, ma'am."


"Yes Adnan. I will always pray for Holy Mother. He's a good man. She's also willing to accept Mila's work at her house."


"Yes, Mom. I go to the room first yes," said Adnan.


After that Adnan looked at Aluna.


"Aluna, Papa go to the room first. Papa's tired, want to rest. You're the same grandma you used to be."


"Yes Pa."


Adnan then stepped into his room with his suitcase. Arriving at the room, he stared at Monika sharply.


Monika is currently sitting on the side of the bed. She was still upset and disappointed in her husband. Adnan took Monika home, in times when she was still at home on vacation. The leave is still four days away.


"Why are you Mon?" ask Adnan while sitting on Monika's side.


"Why the hell, why do we have to go home. Even though our vacation is still four days away, you know."


"Capek Mon continue walking. A lot of money is wasted too. At a hotel or at home the same. We take advantage of our time to gather with family at home. If you are not satisfied with the streets, tomorrow we take Aluna for a walk. To the mall, to the zoo, to the park, to the night market, or where the cake is."


"Hah, again Aluna, it's up to you Mas. I'm tired!"


Monika got up from her seat. After that, he left his room. He did not want to linger with Adnan, because he was still angry with Adnan.


Adnan could only shake his head when he saw Monika.


"Monika is so different it turns out to be the same Mila. When I was with Mila, it seemed like Mila never demanded much. He is following me. Monika, even gini. Still mending Aluna, can still be given understanding, so I married Monika. Why yes, I had to leave Mila. Though Mila is not wrong," said Adnan in his solitude.


Adnan got up from his seat. He took a towel and stepped into the bathroom. As usual, before going to bed Adnan always wash his face, wash his hands and wash his feet.


After all that was done, Adnan came out of the bathroom and changed his clothes with a nightgown.


"As far as you are Mon. If you don't want to sleep with me in this room, that's fine with me. I am also tired of having to obey all your wishes. Better, I focus on my job and Aluna's, than I should think of you."


Adnan got on his bed. After that, he lay down to sleep. While Monika went nowhere. Until Adnan went to sleep, he had not yet entered the room.
