Almira was watering flowers in her front yard. While waiting for the results of her interview, Almira busied herself with caring for flower plants in her front yard. A group of neighbors came home from Arisan to invite Almira to speak.
"Almira is very diligent, has not been able to work? often seen at home directly," said Nining's mother.
"Oya Ma'am, was waiting for the interview call yesterday" said Almira.
"Almira is still alone, did not want to marry again was old, you know" said Ike's mother.
"Yes, my son has three children" added Ani's mother.
"There's no soul mate yet, ma'am" Almira said. He just casually replied to the words of the complex mothers. Thankfully, Alma got used to it.
"Well, if it's not wrong, you've been married three times?" ask Ike's mother.
"Yes, ma'am" replied Almira. Widow labels are three times always someone else's talk. They often tease him as a joke and laugh.
"Wah already very experienced dong nyari prospective husband," said Sari's mother.
Almira fell silent. The words of his neighbors hurt his heart. But he was lazy to defend himself or argue. Silence is the best way. Does not add to sins or even make the problem longer.
"It is precisely the mothers because Almira has failed three times married so be more careful, is not Almira?" said Nining's mother.
Almira only replied with a faint smile on her lips.
"It's not good for mothers if they fail again, it's better to dance to death" said Ayu's mother.
"Almira's love of being a widow four times, better looking for a good husband, isn't Adelia?" ask Ike's mother.
"Yes, thank you for your attention," replied Almira smiling faintly in response to the speech that was heating her ears.
"Yah yuk yuk mothers already noon, we go home," asked Ayu's mother.
The neighbor finally left in front of Almira. Not only once twice has Almira been the talk of his neighbors but often. Sometimes even make the ears of Almira hot. Almira's mother often cried because of the neighbor's words that hurt her heart. They think Almira is the one with the problem.
"Allah gives the servant patience" said Almira after his neighbor left.
Almira walked into her house after finishing watering the flowers in her yard. Almira's mother was preparing food to cook. Almira goes into the kitchen to help her mother.
"Mom don't be tired lest Almira cook." Almira always forbids working mothers. He wants his mother to rest. But Nawang wanted to help Almira even though it was a small thing.
"It's okay, just cook it light, but some ingredients, vegetables and chicken are all gone."
"Yes let Almira go to the shopping mall."
"Yes." Yeah."
Almira went to the shopping mall to buy the necessary groceries. Almira walks by the highway in search of public transport. Almira stood at the bus stop, the voice of an 8-year-old calling her name.
"Mama Almira! Mama Almira!"
Almira watched the child coming towards her. He tried to remember the boy's face. Almira felt familiar with the child's face but a little different. Queenza Amelia is the daughter of Devan Prayoga, Almira's third husband.
"Mama Almira!"
"Queenza huh?"
"Yes, Mama Almira is Queenza."
"Geez, baby, you've grown up." Almira was stunned to see Queenza was already big. He hugged her right away. Long time no see, Almira misses him. It was with Devan that Almirah took care of Queenza. His love is like his real mother.
"I miss Almira's mother, I haven't seen her in a long time."
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for 3 years. Mama also miss Queenza."
Almira has been divorced from Devan for 3 years. Queenza was only 5 years old. Since the divorce, Devan has moved into the home of his deceased wife's mother. Since then Almira has never met Devan and Queenza.
"Queenza, where are you going?"
"I just got home from school, but Papa hasn't picked me up yet. So I'm taking public transport."
"Let's take Mama home, the danger of taking public transport by yourself to Queenza."
"Assyc! I was delivered by Mama Almira."
Almira drove Queenza home on public transport. Almira could not bear Queenza to go home alone on public transport. However, Almira loves Queenza even though Almira has separated from her father. Almira takes Queenza to her grandmother's house.
"Queenza, is that your grandmother's house?"
"Yes Mama Almira."
Almira and Queenza head for the house that Queenza showed to Almira. Arriving in front of the house, it turns out Devan is fixing his car. Queenza walked over to Devan. While Almira just stood in front of the fence.
"Papa."
"Papa."
"Queenza! you're home."
"Yes, Papa long ago."
Almira's still outside the fence. A little distance from Devan and Queenza. Devan has not noticed Almira in front of the fence.
"Yes papa's car broke down, maybe there is a part that must be repaired so papa is late to pick him up.Oya what were you riding earlier?"
"I got on the bus with Mama Almira."
"What's? Mama Almira?" Devan is surprised the name Almira is called Queenza.
Almira saw Irfan standing in front of Queenza looking at her. They stared at each other and threw away. Instantly crossed the past as if replayed. Devan and Almira were both silent. Momentary silence. There was an awkward feeling of having to meet again after such a long time.
"God, you have reunited me with my third ex-husband" said Almira.
"Almira, long time no see" Devan greets Almira even though she herself is a bit awkward. I haven't seen Almira in a long time.
Almira who was still silent, began to awaken from her daydream. He does not have to remember the past, now everything has passed even though the pain sometimes still haunts him.
"Had not met for a long time."
"How are you?"
"Good God."
"Papa, why was mama Almira not invited in first? even stand here." Queenza spoke while patting her Papa's arm. Whining asks Devan to invite Almira into the house.
"Oya forgot, let's go in first Almira let me make you a drink!"
"No, I'm in a hurry. My mom asked me to go shopping in the shopping mall."
Almira tries to avoid Devan, she doesn't want to go any further than that. Not do not want to re-establish silaturrahmi, but Almira does not want to be trapped nostalgia that will hurt her heart. When Devan invites him into his house, Almira immediately looks for reasons to be able to reject him properly.
"Let me drive you to the shopping mall, it just so happens that the car is fixed." Devan invited Almira. He wants to repay Almira's kindness for delivering his son.
"It's okay, get on the bus." Almira tries to reject Devan's invitation subtly. He doesn't want to trouble Devan.
"I'll say goodbye, assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsallam."
Almira leaves Devan and Queenza, she walks out of the courtyard of the house but Devan and Queenza walk up to her.
"I must leave immediately," Inner Almira.
"Almira! Almira!" call Devan to Almira who is walking in front of him.
"Why is Mas Devan after me?" inner Almira.
"Almira! wait!" Devan pulls Almira's arm.
"Sorry Mas Devan, I'm in a hurry."
"Can we talk for a second?"
Almira stopped her steps turning her head towards Devan. Her ex-husband was standing right next to her.
"Almira I know you're still hurt by the past that's going on between us, but can we just stay in touch as friends."
"Sorry Mas Devan I have to leave immediately."
"Almira please let me take you, as my thanks to you."
Almira fell silent. He doesn't know how else to refuse Devan's invitation. Queenza suddenly approached him.
"Mama Almira let Papa deliver ya, make Mama Almira has delivered me so let us deliver Mama."
Almira thought carefully for Devan's invitation. It would be bad to refuse again. This is also the request of Queenza.
"All right."
Devan and Queenza drive Almira to a shopping mall in Devan's car. While in the car, Almira chooses silence but Queenza keeps telling Almira. Queenza loves and loves Almira. Although Almira only 2 years with Queenza but their relationship is so close like mother and child.
\*\*\*
Almira sat on her bedroom bed, thinking about the incident earlier this afternoon with Devan and Queenza. Almira did not expect to be reunited with them again. Sakira goes into her brother's room to invite him to a chat. Activities that Sakira routinely does if her brother is at home.
"Son, I want to tell you something."
"What?"
"Sir Devan Lecturer in my class."
Almira was silent for a moment, the shadow of the incident this afternoon met Devan flashed across her mind. She did not expect fate to bring her to meet her third ex-husband and now she is a Lecturer in Accounting Sakira class.
"God, why is this coincidence?" inner Almira.
"Why brother? surprised to hear the name of Kak Devan again." Sakira seduces Almira.
"Now, you also met Mas Devan and Queenza."
"What's? pantesan brother is normal just when I talk about brother Devan." Sakira's surprised. It turns out that it was not only him who met Devan but his brother as well.
Almira was silent. She was uncomfortable meeting her ex-husband again. The wounds he had forgotten were now being re-expressed.
"Don't you later brother will also meet Kak Sultan as well."
"Surely I will also meet Kak Sultan again," Inner Almira. He immediately recalled his past with the Sultan.
"What are you talking about?"
"Life is unpredictable. Sister reunited with her three ex-husband. Rich movie title Return of My Ex Husband."
"Start again."
As usual Sakira always teases her sister so she can laugh. Although Sakira knows her brother is sad when it comes to reuniting with her ex-husband. Sakira is indeed a jolly girl, she always tries to make her brother laugh and forget about his problems.
