The Wife You Divorced
Explanation of Aluna

"Yes, if you are full. Now you drink ya."

"Yes Nek."

Ms. Retno took a glass filled with water and thrust it at her granddaughter. After that, Aluna drank.

"A little drink dear?" said Ms. Retno while putting the glass back on the nightstand.

"Udah full of Nek."

Ms. Retno looked at her grandson. I don't know why Miss Retno felt Aluna was hiding something

"Aluna, what exactly are you doing? you will soon be coming with Mama Mila. Why are you sad. You should be happy, dong."

"I'm not sad because I want to come with Mama Nek. But I'm sad, if you remember Mama Monika."

"What happened to Mama Monika?" ask Ms. Retno curiously.

"She was so mean to me, Grandma. Every day I was scolded. And if Grandma and Papa aren't around, she won't let me eat either. I was locked up in my room until the afternoon. At that time I was also in brackets in the bathroom," Aluna explained.

Ms. Retno was surprised when she heard the explanation from her granddaughter.

"What! continue, Miss Sulis knows about this?" ask Ms. Retno to Aluna.

"Yes. Sulis knows about this. All this time that always nolongin I'm Mulak Sulis Nek."

Ms. Retno was completely unexpected with Monika. Behind his pretentious attitude, it turns out Monika has been evil to Aluna.

It turned out that my distressed granddaughter had been living with her stepmother. Monika can be up to Aluna everything in the bathroom. And Sulis, why he never said this to me or Adnan. He has worked long in my house. I need to talk to Sulis. He knows all this is even silent, inner Bu Retno.

This afternoon, Adnan arrived in front of the hospital. Zaki and Mila, too. They also arrived in front of the hospital. They happened to come simultaneously.

Mila and Zaki come to the hospital to pick up Aluna. Meanwhile, Adnan, came to the hospital, to pay off the hospital administration fee.

Adnan went to the hospital first. After that Mila and Zaki followed Adnan behind him. Arriving at Aluna's room, they all entered the room.

"Father, Mama, Om Zaki." said Aluna.

Retno smiled as she saw the arrival of Mila and Zaki.

"Mila, Aluna has been waiting for you since, you know," said Ms. Retno.

Mila smiled as she approached Aluna.

"Have you done anything, son?" ask Mila to Aluna.

"Already Ma. My clothes were also in my bag. It was grandma who helped me pack."

"Yes, let's go home now" said Zaki.

Adnan approached Aluna.

"Honey, if you miss Papa, you call Papa. If you want to stay at Papa's house again, you say yes. Don't be quiet."

"Yes Papa."

Adnan looked at Zaki.

"Sir Zaki, I have my son."

Zaki nodded.

"You take it easy, Adnan, Aluna will be safe with me and Mila."

After Aluna says goodbye to her grandmother and father, Aluna leaves with Mila and Zaki.

They got out of the hospital and headed to the car park. After getting into the car, they drove away from the hospital.

Adnan could only sigh deeply when he saw his daughter taken Mila away.

A drop of Adnan's tears fell from his eye. Adnan rubbed it rough.

"Adnan, have you paid for Aluna's hospital fees?" ask Miss Retno.

"Already Mom. I'm just here to pick up mom. I'm afraid mom is sick again. Because last night I took care of Aluna in the hospital."

"Mom's okay Adnan."

"Yes Mom, let's go home."

"Yes." Yeah."

Ms Retno and Adnan then stepped away from the hospital.

This morning, Mrs Sulis was in the kitchen. Ms. Retno suddenly approached Ms. Sulis in the kitchen.

Sulis looked back.

"Eh, Mommy. What's up, Mom?" ask Mama Sulis.

"I just want to ask you something."

Sulis' mother furrowed her brows.

"Ask what Mom?"

"Do you know anything?"

Sister Sulis was confused by the words of Ms. Retno.

"Know what Mom?"

"Write, I want you to be honest with me. What has Monika done to Aluna? Is it true that Monika has always treated Aluna badly?"

Sulis was shocked when she heard Mrs Retno's words. He could only shut up, confused as to what to say to Miss Retno.

"Sulis, let's answer! don't be quiet. Do you know anything?" asked Ms. Retno by raising her tone.

"Yes Mom. I often see Monika Anurin Aluna. Ms. Monika also often locked Aluna in her room and did not allow her to leave the house. And one more Mom, if Aluna is naughty and makes Ms. Monika angry, Ms. Monika will also not give Aluna a meal. And maybe that, which made Aluna sick because she was often late to eat. Ms. Monika does not hesitate to punish Aluna if Aluna is naughty," explained Sulis at length.

Ms. Retno sighed deeply. He clenched his hands furiously when he heard Sister Sulis' explanation.

"Truly brash turned out to be Monika huh. It turns out that he had been making Aluna depressed and did not feel at home living in this house. Now he's more willing to follow his mother than to follow his father. It's all because of that woman" exasperated Ms. Retno.

Ms Retno then looked at Mrs Sulis sharply. He was also angry with Mba Sulis because all this time Mba Sulis was silent. He never told Ms Retno about Monika's mistreatment.

"Write. How the hell are you. Why don't you tell me about this."

"Sorry Mom, I dare not report this to my mother or Mr. Adnan. I'm afraid I'm fired, ma'am. Because Ms. Monika has also threatened me often. He wanted to fire me if I reported the incident to my mother and Mr. Adnan. And I'm also afraid Mr. Adnan won't believe my words."

"Why should you be afraid of Monika! it's Adnan who's been paying you, not Monika. Monika is now just hitchhiking here. she's not working."

"I'm sorry Mom. All this time I was wrong. Please forgive me, ma'am. But every time Miss Monika locked up Aluna, I always helped Aluna. Sometimes I quietly went into Aluna's room to deliver food. Aluna didn't starve to mother's."

On the sidelines of Bu Retno chatting with Sulis, Monika's voice suddenly sounded.

"Write...! Sulisa...!" exciting Monika.

"Tuh, called. Maybe Monika needs something."

"Yes Mom. I'd like to see Monika first, ma'am."

"Yes. please."

Sulis hurriedly stepped up to approach Monika.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" sulis asked after he got in front of Monika.

"Write. I want to go with Mas Adnan check the contents. You don't have to cook a lot today. Because Mas Adnan and I want to eat out. And it looks like we're going to make it to night. Because you want to go for recreation."

"Oh. Yes, ma'am."

"Please take care of the house and take care of the mother."

"Yes, Mom."

"Well, you can go back to work."

Sulis then stepped back into the kitchen to meet Ms. Retno.

"Why Sulis?" ask Miss Retno.

"Mom Monika wants to go with Mr. Adnan" Sulis replied.

"Where to go?"

"He said, check the content of all recreation."

Ah, recreation continues. The feeling of yesterday's week had also gone recreational. After the money, the streets continued. Poor Aluna, never taken a walk. Adnan more often took the path of Monika than in the path of his son, Inner Bu Retno.

Actually, Miss Retno has not liked Monika for a long time. Monica with Mila is very different. Monika often invites Adnan out for a walk and eat outside. According to Ms. Retno, eating out would cost too much money.

After tidying up, Adnan and Monika stepped down. They then walked to the kitchen to say goodbye to Ms. Retno.

"Mom, I'll go first, yes" said Adnan. He then kissed the back of Ms Retno's hand.

And Monica too. He also kissed the back of Ms Retno's hand before leaving.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Adnan then invited Monika to go out of the house. They got into the car and drove away from his house.
