My wife Canduku
children's jewelry?

"What's up, Pa?’ Mario asked in a soft voice.

Now the two of them, alone, in the silence of the night and the breeze.

“You really love Inka?’ Ask raka who is now facing Mario with a close distance.

“Iya, Pa. Very.” Reply Mario with confidence.

“Then, who is the woman you saw in Yogya?’ The moment surprised Mario.

“you've divorced her?’ raka asked again.

Mario shakes.’ It's not what papa saw.

And yes, I have long divorced her.”

“Papa knows why you married her. Papa knows everything, papa knows how it feels, because papa was once in your position.”

Mario drew closer, listening carefully to his father-in-law's words.

“Papa and his mother Inka, we were in a match, originally there was no love between us. Papa has had another love before, the first love of papa is Desi, papa's wife at this time. The more days, papa became more affectionate to his mother Inca, even more so when she conceived and gave birth to the Inca. Her gentle and submissive figure made papa comfortable and happy beside her. However, when Desi came back, papa could not take it off. Papa married Desi just after two years of marriage papa and his mother Inca. Beautiful, her mother's name is Inka. We named the Inca because of the fusion between In-dah and Ra-ka. Desi never demanded anything, she realized that she was second. But gradually everything was revealed. Beautiful knowing everything, he decided to work abroad, in order to avoid tension between us. Until finally there he found a man who promised love and full affection. Papa was told to choose between Desi or him. Papa could not answer because he already had a child from Desi, papa could not leave him. Then it's beautiful to go not back. There was a void in papa's heart when Indah left. The face of the Inca was very similar to his mother, making papa have to avoid that face. Because when papa saw the Inca, papa's longing for Indah was more and more.” Raka said with teary eyes.

Mario held firmly the iron fence he was holding, his gaze straight ahead. He convinced himself that he was not like that. He doesn't love Sasha like Raka loves Desi.

“Never repeat papa's mistake, Yo. Never!” Raka uttered in a soft voice, there were so many regrets within him.

“No, Pa. Mario has finished it all because Mario chose Inca.”

“Bu..kan nothing, papa just ask why we choose this place for romantic dinner?” Mario reasoned, accompanied by a nod from Raka.

“Ooo..” Inka rounded her lips.

On the way, Mario still remembered Raka's words. Previously, he had heard from the mouth of the Inca, the reason his parents divorced. The Inca simply said both of his parents had no match. It turns out that there is a big reason that the Inca did not know. In fact, Raka loved the Inca more, compared to Adhis who was also her biological daughter.

Inka saw a paper fall out of Mario's pocket, while he was cleaning his dirty clothes to put it in place. The Inca picked up the paper that was already on the floor. Seen there are two receipts of jewelry payments. He realized that one receipt belonged to him, because the type and image mentioned there, was the same as the one he had. But for another receipt, whether it belongs to whom.

“Kids bracelet?” Inka furrowed her forehead while muttering in question.

Chequek..

The bathroom door opened, Mario looking handsome with wet hair and a towel coiled around his waist.

“What are you doing, baby?” Mario asked who saw the Inca standing on his back.

“Oh, this. There's a paper falling out of your pocket.” Inka immediately approached Mario to hand over the two papers he held.

Mario grabs the paper slowly, thinking about the right answer, when the Inca asks. But the Inca did not ask. He continued his activities after handing over the two papers.

“This, I bought child jewelry for my employee's child. He was very dedicated in the office, I was confused about what to give, so I gave him his birthday.” Mario said without asking.

The Inca looked and smiled.
