Widowing was not an option, but Hanum had to keep choosing. Moreover, this concerns his future as well as the child he is carrying at this time. For him, in-laws are not the most comfortable place to complain. However, he added to the burden of suffering in his life.
"Num, are you okay?" ask Wardani.
"Hemm, I'm good, War. It's even better now. Although our divorce is still in progress, but the burden on my brain is less and less."
"Goodoo. I hope it's always like that. Work well and don't forget to save. My niece will be born in a few months. Don't you want to go home, Num?"
"Not now, War. I want to take care of my son. I will also work harder. I'm used to being alone. It won't be hard for me to split my time."
Maybe Hanum forgot he was a widow without a child. Now different. She had to give birth and work. It's not very easy.
"Then ask Ismawan to always support your child while you are in recovery. No problem, right? Talk about it when you get divorced. Don't forget to make sure she's there when you give birth. The problem is you're here no relatives."
Over the following days, Hanum improved even more. He looks pretty full and well-groomed. She sometimes goes to court to handle her divorce.
"Num, don't you want to change your mind? We're just getting into the mediation process. I don't want a divorce, but you're still insistent."
"Mas, free we survive. Our marriage will not be able to be repaired if Mother continues to interfere. Coupled with your marriage to Ayu. It'll make it easier for me to sue you, Mas. I've been patient enough to survive. In the end, I gave up."
At the time of his divorce, Ismawan did not allow Ayu to join. The reason, not even make the situation calm, but will cause new problems again.
"Would I divorce Ayu, get you back, Num? Remember our son definitely needs his father figure. Think about it again!"
It was not easy, but Hanum's decision was no longer inviolable. Ismawan also not easy to let go of Ayu. Rather than going back to a time where the oppression of in-laws continued, it was better to choose independence with a new status.
"Can't do it, Mom. Did you forget that the glass has been cracked or even broken, as strong as glue to put it back together, it still looks like a trace, Mas. The solution is to buy new."
It's really hard. Even during mediation, Hanum wanted the divorce to happen. He thought of himself and his son later. Just let Ismawan beg to stay, but the fact is Ismawan's second marriage makes Hanum unwilling to continue the marriage.
While at the Kasmirah residence, Ayu looks very anxious. This mediation allowed her husband to refer.
"What's wrong with you, Yu?"
"Mommy, I'm just gonna catch up with Mas Is. I'm afraid they'll come back, Mom."
"Why? It's just that if Hanum comes back, I can have a grandson soon."
Ayu smiled cynically. "The problem is that Ms. Hanum does not want to be with Mom. He thought of himself and his son. I'm sure after this I'll be kept away from your granddaughter."
Ayu's words made Kasmirah think again. It's an incredible loss. Maybe he could negotiate with Ismawan to keep Hanum. Moreover, it was obvious Hanum had been pregnant. A few months later, his grandson was born. Which other opportunity to look forward to?
As planned, when Ismawan returned home with a chaotic face and erratic mood. Kasmirah had been waiting for him in the living room feeling extremely anxious. Actually he wanted to know the mediation development his son was currently undergoing.
"Is, how was your trial today?" ask Kasmirah.
"Mom, I just came. Should be treated to a drink first or let me rest for a moment. After that, you can ask me questions."
"Juice!" call Kasmirah. "Get your husband a drink!"
"Yes, Mom!" sahut Ayu from behind.
"Is, wait a minute. Ayu is coming soon. Oh, yeah, I want to talk to you."
"What's the matter, Mom?"
"After I think about it, you should just cancel your divorce plan. Moreover, Hanum is pregnant. Soon, my mother's grandson is born. Mother changed her mind" Kasmirah said in a whisper so that her words would not be heard by Ayu.
Ismawan is getting frustrated. His mother was very torturous. Before making the child's household a mess, Kasmirah should think very mature. If it is like this, let alone to maintain the household, to refer it is impossible.
Ismawan did not respond to his mother. If it had been like this, it felt like he wanted to go as far away from his mother and the marriage that bound him. Moreover, Ayu is not a woman who can understand Ismawan's position.
Amidst the onslaught of overwork and divorce proceedings, Ayu instead asks to go on vacation. It made no sense to the thought of his wife.
"Mas, here's the drink. Sorry, Ayu's still busy in the kitchen." Ayu offered a glass of water.
Truthfully upset, Ismawan instead brushed the glass to the point of falling to the floor and breaking. Of course it makes Ayu rampage.
"Mas! What the hell are you doing? Why did you drop the glass?" maki Ayu's. This will add to Ayu's job again, which is to clean the broken glass scattered on the floor.
"I'm sorry, Yu. I'm going to the room first. Please don't bother me!"
"Mas, can't do that, yeah! All this time I've been patient enough to face you and Mom. You are a family that does not appreciate others. It is fitting that Ms. Hanum chose to divorce. I'd better get out of this house!"
Ayu ignored the broken glass, then she went to the room to pack. Ismawan doesn't even care about Ayu. He really left that house.
"Yes, where are you going?" tanya Kasmirah who saw Ayu carrying a big bag.
"Ju wants to go. Please take care of your son who doesn't know himself!"
Without saying much, Ayu left immediately. Kasmirah followed Ismawan to his room. He saw broken glass on the floor.
"Is, you had a fight with Ayu. Why?"
"I want to live quietly, Mom. I don't want anyone else in this house. Better to just go into the room. I'm waiting for news of my divorce with Hanum and Ayu."
Kasmirah heard the news. Ismawan wanted to divorce the two. After this Kasmirah no longer knows what to look like.
"Is, think again to go back to Hanum. If it's about Ayu, it's up to you. I don't care anymore."
It's hard not to have such a wishful in-law. He who enters into the household life of his son who at once became the third person, but never realized his role there.
