Now nineteen years ago Reyhan never once saw the nose of an ex-wife who is none other than Yumna. Many times the middle-aged man went down the street to the house he used to live in with a woman he had easily divorced just for not giving him a progeny.
He misses the atmosphere in the house he used to live in with his ex-wife. Not that now he's unhappy living with his new wife. It's just that the comfortable shadow while living in the house made Reyhan increasingly stirred up a longing in his chest.
Reyhan last went to the house he used to live with his ex-wife two months ago. Since then he has missed that house. Reyhan prefers his free time at home with his daughter Reni and also with his wife. Reyhan's only daughter with Lani. Since Lani gave birth to Reni, Lani has not been pregnant until now. Though from the beginning he never wore any kind of KB.
Reyhan wants many children from Lani, but because fate does not realize his dream, Reyhan finally resigned to having one child who is none other than Reni.
This afternoon after teaching Reyhan stopped by the minimarket first. Earlier this morning before leaving to teach, Lani left milk for her daughter. Although Reni is 17 years old, her daughter still drinks milk. Maybe because he was used to it, he would drink milk every day.
Reyhan parked his motorbike in the parking lot in front of the minimarket. Enter the mini market and go directly to the shelf where the milk is usually drunk by the girls.

Yumna this afternoon plans to go to the mini market to buy her kitchen equipment. Like cooking and so on. Because only until yesterday so Yumna has not had time to shop for kitchen needs. Even for lunch, she ordered food through the app.
"Al, mother go for a while, yes" said when he saw his bachelor was sitting casually in the living room.
"Where are you going Bun?" tanya Ali was confused to see her Mother who looked very neat.
"Mother wants to buy cooking ingredients Honey, everything in the kitchen is still empty. Lagian kemarena mother has not had time to buy the tree. You know we're busy yesterday" Yumna explained to her single son.
"Oh yeah Bun, do you need Ali's help later?" ask the man to the mother.
"Don't be a pity, after all the mother did not buy too much kok, you are here just keep the house yes," door Yumna nagged Ali.
"Jaudah Mommy be careful on the way yes," Ali kissed Yumna's hand with reverence. Then set the mother to the front of the taxi that Yumna ordered a few minutes ago through her car.
"Yes dear," replied the middle-aged woman who looked still very beautiful.
Yumna took the taxi she ordered. Then the driver drove his car to the place Yumna had described earlier. Along the way to the minimarket which is quite far from his home, Yumna stared at the crowded streets of motorists and cars, many of the traffic that looks from the beautiful senses.
Near Yumna house there is also a minimarket, but the place is being renovated by the owner. Within a quarter of an hour Yumna finally reached the place where she was headed. Pay the fare to the driver, then step his foot out of the taxi.
Yumna entered the minimarket with a smile when she saw people passing by. He also greeted kindly the person who met him. No matter what he knew or not, the most important thing was that he was friendly to everyone.
It feels enough, Yumna chose to buy spices on the other shelf. Take pepper powder, garlic onion, celery, galangal milled, and many more selected Yumna there including cooking oil that is not in the house he took.
Now the foot is stepping towards the snack rack. He wanted to buy his son's favorite banana chips and macaroni. Yumna looked around her basket whether there was anything lacking or not. It felt enough Yumna stepped towards the cashier to pay for all her shopping.
The queue is quite a lot to make Yumna a little long waiting for her turn. Yumna was right behind the tegab man. But Yumna did not mind that it was important that he quickly arrived in front of the cashier and went home where his son must have been waiting for his return.
Finally it was Yumna's turn to pay her shopping bill, after a long wait. After that Yumna stepped out of the minimarket which is quite enough to provide everything, ranging from kitchen cooking, various foods to toiletries. The point is that it's in it very much. The name minimarket but the store is very large, it can be said not suitable if it is called minimarket. But maybe the person does not want to show his wealth, so he is a little humble. That's Yumna's thinking.
Reyhan who was waiting in line finally got his turn. But when he finished his eyes bulged when he saw the woman behind him. The woman he divorced nineteen years ago. A woman who is no longer young but whose face does not want to age. The woman Reyhan thought remained beautiful, even everyone probably thought Yumna was still in her thirties.
Although somewhat shocked, Reyhan quickly walked out of the line afraid of interrupting the next queue. Step his long legs out of the minimarket and then sit outside on his parked motorcycle.
Those stern eyes saw the woman he had once divorced coming out of the minimarket. His feet immediately led Reyhan to the woman.
"Yumna," called Reyhan to the woman who was bowing her head due to looking at HP, she might just order another taxi to go home.
Yumna straightened her head when she heard a slightly familiar voice in her ears. "Yes," Yumna replied as her head was perfectly upright. "Mas Reyha," he continued.
"How are you?" reyhan asked when the woman in front of him was really his ex-wife.
"Alhamdulillah I am healthy Mas, oh yes Mas I first yes because I am in a hurry," replied Yumna who was lazy to speak. Moreover, his mind is already at home, where the child is just waiting for his presence.
"Wait a minute Yum, I'll talk to you for a second," prevent Reyhan from holding Yumna back from leaving.
"I'm sorry, maybe next time. I really was in a hurry. Excuse me!" firmly Yumna left Reyhan who just silently stared at Yumna's words.
Yumna stepped in a hurry towards the taxi she ordered. Taxis are already on the highway in front of the minimarket.
Reyhan stared at the back of the woman he once so flattered away from his sight. Disappointed at Yumna's rejection made the man go silent for quite a while. What the man was thinking at the moment. What is clear is that his heart is not broken after seeing his ex-wife who returned after a long time. A dozen years ago, they met. There may still be a speck of longing in Reyhan for his ex-wife. It felt like Reyhan was hard to express what he was currently feeling.
The taxi that Yumna was riding left the minimarket. The place where he buys the needs of himself and the baby. Reyhan stared at the car moving away. After a long time the man rode his motorcycle to the residence where there was his wife, son and mother.
