Bitter Tongue In-Law
40. Blurred

"You know him?"

The gaze that Bian and Arga momentarily threw seemed to show something in the eyes of the woman who was currently in a relationship with Arga.

I don't know, the man was like a fool with sins or mistakes he made in the past. As if there was no coffee and did not learn from what had happened, he still plays with women.

Yes, lately he was close to his office friend named Anita. He intends to make a beautiful single woman a place for the growth of the fetus. I don't know what Arga thinks, he seems to be blinded by the desire to have offspring. Coupled with his mother's constant support to take Nuna's child who did not even know her whereabouts, let alone the position of Nuna now, know the name of the child alone does not. How did he find the boy? What part of the world do you have to go to in order to meet people who have been in the past?

"No. Come on in, laper." Lunch time has not yet arrived, but the two employees who were outside the office covered first to a luxury restaurant that had not been built for long, but it is famous and used for some entrepreneurs who do meetings.

Arga and Anita step back, in that step Arga had crossed his head that Bian was very different from seven years ago. Remembering Bian who used to make Arga remembered with his passionate speech in terms of defending Nuna. He wondered if Bian knew where Nuna was? Well, at least his son's position now.

If Arga is still the same as before, the same is the case with Bu Ningsih. That woman hasn't changed much either. Still busy yourself by talking bad things to others. Just like Nuna, Lia also did not escape the fuel to ignite some people so looked at the woman one eye, just like Nuna.

His relationship with Lia was not as close as before, Ms. Ningsih has no longer helped with homework since Lia miscarried. Only occasionally did he go to his daughter-in-law's house.

"Mother if you come here just want to lecture me mending already, just go home. At any time, I will not adopt a child. I don't want to take care of people's children, throw away my money for people's children I don't want to."

"Well, how do you want? Want a lifetime without children? Who will take care of you when you are old? Yes at least if you do not want to adopt a child, let Arga not take his biological child with Nuna."

I don't know how many times Lia heard that phrase from her mother-in-law. He got bored and bored. What's wrong with living without children. Both until old. If Arga never fuss about children why does this old woman always talk about children every day? Lia was upset.

"I don't want to. I want it this way, yes you don't have to arrange me. Arga just did not dispute this, why Mother is so complicated. Later if I want to adopt a child, I will adopt without Mom asking. Very nice, very old too," grumbled Lia at the end of the sentence as it passed from before her mother-in-law.

Along with the sinking of the sun that afternoon, Bu Ningsih stepped away Lia's house with no less upset. Just turning her body to get out of the house, Ms. Ningsih had found her only child standing in the middle of the main door.

Arga left the middle of the door without hearing her mother's voice. He was very tired of his life. It occurred to her mind to run away from home and marry Anita. However, the status of being a mere child should think twice if you want to do that. His brain was still quite sane and could still be used to think how about his mother if he were to really leave.

But apparently, Arga's defense on that thought finally gave up a month later. Unbeknownst to his wife and mother, he left home. With Anita's consent, the man will marry her religiously. To do that, he had to run away first, right?

Arga actually does not want to be like this, if only Lia would follow one of her wishes to have children by adoption, Arga would not do this cruel thing.

Yes, her desire to have a child is actually as great as her mother's. But his mother who continues to undermine and seemed to not give understanding to him makes him also caught off guard. He had for years harbored a desire to appreciate Lia and perhaps someday his wife could change. However, for almost seven years together there was no change at all. Living with unfulfilled desires plus her mother who keeps pressing her makes Arga step back on the wrong path.

"Mom, I'll be home soon, right? I want to go to school later like the other friends between his mother to school. I miss my mother" Cashel said as he ate his morning meal.

Nuna's only child grows up well and becomes a smart child under the care of her family.

"Yes. Mom's coming home soon. So you have to take care of your health, eat a lot. Let me be happier seeing you get fat."

With the spirit of the boy who was new to the first grade of SD was eating his breakfast. He never lacked anything despite being raised without a mother and father figure that until now he did not know what his name was. Once Cashel asked about his father, but the answer from the Grandmother was enough to make him silent until now.

"Cashel doesn't need Dad, your life is perfect and happy without Dad. You don't have a father, son. Your father's been gone a long time. Not dead, but Dad left us all. Leaving Mom, leaving Cashel, so Cashel doesn't need to have the desire to see Dad, huh. Someday, if you grow up, you will understand the meaning of leaving. So now enjoy your life with us, yeah."

Since that day, Cashel no longer asked about his father. He will answer with an answer like his grandmother made when a friend asked about his father.

As usual, with his youngest son's motorbike, Nuna's father escorted his only grandson to the school gate.

Unwittingly, Bian's motorbike and car cross paths near Cashel's school.
