Married Three Breeding Widow
Have Lost
Juwita rarely worries about her children as other mothers worry about them. Maybe it was because all of Juwita's children were girls and they all grew up in perfect family affection. So it is precisely because of that, Juwita is more worried about her stepchildren.
Juwita has no plans for the future of Lila, who will soon enter SD, because it is all Adji's business. But Juwita has a plan for how Cetta's future will be, Banyu's future.
"What am I supposed to do, Ma'am?" Juwita stood looking at the photo of his old wife Adji, the woman who had brought Juwita to stand in this place to replace her position as the mother of their children. "What do I do about Abi?"
Precisely because this is the last chance Juwita can give, he really wants this to end well for all of them. So please tell me what exactly he should do?
"Mother." Nia reprimands Juwita and breaks a daydream balloon inside her head. "Mother, Nia laper."
Juwita struggled hard to neutralize her emotions in order to smile at Nia. "Laper, Son? But it's still two hours before the malem meal, you know. I love a snack want yah?"
"Ms."
"OK, here. Make alike. By the way, where's Brother Cetta with Brother Banyu?"
"Abang Cetta is with Yuni, she said she was feeding Mimi. Brother Banyu called his girlfriend."
"His boyfriend?" Juwita raised an eyebrow. "Whose girlfriend? Brother didn't say?"
"So. He said secret."
Juwita frowned confusedly, but she decided not to ask Nia. They made a snack together for everyone while waiting for dinner time to arrive. Adji said he wanted to bring home food from the restaurant only, so Juwita today did not cook.
After the children gather quietly in the playroom, Juwita leaves them in Cetta's custody. Go to Banyu who is again doing the task on the side terrace.
"Something was single but it turned out to have a diem-diem girlfriend, a secret."
Banyu snorting. "Boong doang I'm with Nia."
"Ohya?"
"Yes, Juwita. Lo check already HP if you don't believe."
Just before the lock screen opened, Juwita was faced with Banyu wallpaper in the form of photos of their families of eight.
Ah, nine because Juwita who was in the very middle, sat holding the frame Melisa.
"I can't believe it anymore" Juwita murmured as her eyes stared at the photo of Abhimanyu smiling sillyly at the photo and looking fine. "I can't keep Abi away. We're family."
"Juwita—"
"My son." Juwita returned the phone without even checking it. "I can't stand it if our family doesn't have Abi. I can't. And I'm your mother. My job is that our family does not break apart, not ngusir you guys one by one let me be happy alone."
"okay." Banyu turned his head, nodding at Juwita as if he said he perfectly understood Juwita's feelings now. "Lo everything for this house, Juwi. Everything. Because you exist, we can all gather. You can make the decision you want."
Juwita smiled gently. "I'm never grateful I'm grateful to have you."
"As long as you're happy."
Juwita convinced herself that she had to do something. Not only about he does not want to lose a friend who understands himself as well as a strong listener of his daily validity, but also because Juwita wants the family care Melisa and her own family intact because of love.
That's why Juwita decided to go back to see Abhimanyu the next day, this time alone. Juwita does not tell Adji not because he wants to rebel but because Juwita does not want to until another problem occurs.
Banyu and Cetta stay at home looking after their younger siblings while Juwita lies wanting to go to the minimarket for the kids to understand.
But ....
Arriving at Abhimanyu's boarding house, on the steps just before reaching the floor, Juwita stood empty to see Abhimanyu kissing a woman who was clearly not his future wife, nor was she a woman when Juwita caught him for the first time.
In that instant, deep in his heart, Juwita knew that he had lost his Abhimanyu and that he might not return.
