The Wife You Divorced
Compared

Mila is still in her room tonight. He looked at Aluna who was currently asleep.

Suddenly Mila remembered Adnan and Bu Retno. For a long time, they lost their news. The call from Bu Retno has never been active.

"Why Mas Adnan and Bu Retno never called ya to ask Aluna. Have they forgotten Aluna" said Mila in her solitude.

"Bu Retno too. Do they not miss Aluna anymore," continued Mila.

Mila looked confused. It's been a few weeks since Ms. Retno's number has been inactive. Mila doesn't know what happened to them. With an instant, Adnan's life changed drastically due to PHK.

Mila came out of her room to grab a drink in the kitchen. Finished drinking, he stepped away to meet Holy Mother who was currently in the living room.Mila vaguely heard Holy Mother and a man were conversing in the living room..

"There are guests in front, who are you," said Mila curious.

Mila then stepped into the living room to take a peek at who the guests were.

Mila was surprised to see Mr. RT already in the living room.

"Why did Mr. Danu come here?" said Mila.

Mr. Danu looked at Holy Ma'am fixedly.

"Is it true that Mila and Zaki are getting married?" ask Mr. Danu the head of RT at the Bu Suci housing complex.

"It's right Mr. RT."

"Why do they still live in one house. They should not have stayed in one house. Because it can cause slander Holy Mother."

"But they never said anything about Mr. Rt. They can keep their distance. And here they do not live alone. There's me, Bik Inah, and Aluna."

"Yes my Holy Mother knows. But what about the response of the people around. A man and a woman with a special relationship live under one roof. It can be a slander of citizens. I suggest, for Mila don't stay here. Just move Mila in the apartment or where."

"Yes Mr. RT. I'll tell Zaki and Mila about this."

Mila was surprised when she heard Mr. RT chat with her future mother-in-law.

What other trouble is this. Why just one roof should be in trouble. Mas Zaki and I don't have a roof. All this time I lived in the back house with Bik Ijah, the inner Mila.

After Mr. RT left, Holy Mother left the living room and went inside. The Holy Mother was surprised when she saw Mila.

"Lho, Mila. You've been here since?" ask Holy Ma.

"Yes Mom. I heard everything, Mom. Mr. RT told me not to stay here. Then where should I stay, ma'am?"

"Yes Mil. That's why I want to tell Zaki, let him stay in the apartment for a while. And you're the one who lives with mom here with Aluna. Let's not get slander. Especially if you're getting married soon."

"Yes Mom. I'm up to Mom and Mas Zaki."

"Yes, now we go in yuk! we'll wait for Zaki to come home. Looks like he's overtime again at the office."

"Yes, Mom."

Uhuk uhuk...

The sound of coughing Bu Retno was heard up to Adnan and Monika's room. Monika felt disturbed by the coughing sound of her mother-in-law.

"Ih. It was so noisy for this mother. Why keep coughing. I don't know if his coughing upsets my sleep" muttered Monika.

Monika looked to her side lying down. Adnan seemed to have fallen asleep by his side. Looks like Adnan is exhausted because he has to work all day.

"Mas Adnan again, really fast sleep," grumbled Monika.

Monika got off her bed. After that he came out of his room and stepped into the next room where Bu Retno was.

Monika opens the door to Miss Retno's unlocked room.

"Mom, why the hell are you coughing?"

"Not knowing Mon. Mom's chest is also tight."

"Drink dong Bu medicine, let it mengingan. Don't let it go. It could get worse."

"Everything, the mother doesn't have to be sick. Let me and Mas Adnan. Adnan is not like before, Mom. Now he is poor. So mom also don't bother her too much."

"Mon, Mon. Who wants to be sick. I don't want to get sick either. Mother even kept healthy. But how else, the condition of the mother's lungs is also getting worse. The doctor asked the mother for surgery. But the operation cost a lot of money. I know Adnan's condition now. Hence, I just endure the mother's illness."

Adnan who faintly heard the sound of Monika chattering with his mother, blinked his eyes.

Uhuk uhuk...

The sound of Bu Retno's cough had been heard all the way to the side room. Adnan who heard his mother's coughs immediately came out of his room to see his mother.

"Mother why Mon?" adnan asked after he got to his mother's room.

"I don't know your mother. He was coughing constantly."

Uhuk uhuk...

Adnan and Monika are shocked when they see Bu Retno coughing up blood.

"Mom, mom's okay, right? what's sick, ma'am?" adnan asked as he approached his mother. Adnan looked panicked when he saw his mother coughing up blood.

"Mom's okay Adnan."

"Mother don't lie. I must have another complaint, right?"

"Actually from yesterday the chest of Adnan's sick mother. Mom's breath tight. The medicine you bought is also over."

Adnan breathed deeply. Adnan felt guilty for his mother. Due to economic difficulties, Adnan forgot to take his mother's control to an internal medicine specialist.

"Mom, I haven't seen a doctor in a long time. We will check tomorrow. Let's get some more medicine."

Miss Retno just nodded. While Monika seems to dislike Adnan more attention to her mother than to her.

Without much further ado, Monika then leaves Ms. Retno's room.

"Yes, Mom, just rest first. It's night Mom, tomorrow I'll take you to see the doctor."

"Yes." Yeah."

Retno lay back down. While Adnan pulled Bu Retno's blanket and covered Bu Retno's body with that blanket. After Ms. Retno fell asleep, Adnan left her mother's room.

"Pity mother. Oh, my God, I still need mom. Extend the age of mother. Treat the mother and lift her illness" Adnan prayed before leaving her mother's room.

Adnan stepped back to his room. After that he climbed onto the bed and sat down by Monika's side. While Monika has been sitting on the bed playing her cell phone.

"Mon" said Adnan.

"Yes, it's." Monika looked towards her husband.

"Tomorrow I'll take my mother to Mon's treatment. Pity him, sick but not medicated."

Monika was shocked when she heard her husband's words. Monika instantly settled Adnan sharply.

"What! on medication? do you have money? to eat hard, you want to bring the mother?"

"It's not so Mon. I just want to see my mom go to the doctor. I don't want to take my mom to the hospital. Because the hospital is expensive. I have money to take my mom to the hospital. The mother complained of shortness of breath and her chest hurt. So I'm gonna go check on him for a general practitioner."

"It's up to you. It's all because of you. I keep getting sick because of you."

"Kok because of me? why are you so guilty of me!"

"Yes that. Because you are poor. Try if you're like Mr. Zaki. Have a lot of money, surely now mom has surgery and mom must have recovered from her illness."

Adnan breathed deeply. He seemed to dislike Monika comparing him to others.

"Don't compare me to Mr. Zaki. He's a businessman's son. He has been rich since birth. While I was, I was just a normal kid. I can succeed like yesterday because of my hard work Mon."

Monika does not want to serve Adnan anymore. He prefers to put his phone on the nightstand and lie down to sleep. Meanwhile, Adnan, since then still held back his annoyance at his wife.

Why the hell, I have a wife does not want to appreciate me as a husband at all. Though I willingly hot-hot work in the market just to find money to support Monika. But Monika had no gratitude in the slightest. Still blaming me, inner Adnan.
