SERIOUS TALK

Herawati came home with mixed feelings. An old wound that had been closed for a long time suddenly reopened. Seeing his wife who came home with a tired-looking face, Hardiyata immediately followed her to the room.

"You look tired? The kids are fine?" asked Hardiyata.

"The children are healthy and happy with Zalina. They don't even seem to have lost a mother's love. Zalina is truly extraordinary. She devotes herself to our children, our grandchildren, Pa," answered Herawati happily.

"If the children are healthy and happy, why is my wife sad?"

Herawati brought her body back to the sofa in their room, taking a deep breath.

"Dad, do you remember what I told you about my late father?"

"Yes, of course, remember, at that time we were dating, right. When I wanted to hug you," said Hardiyata.

"Deswita..."

"What's with this ex-in-law Riris?"

Slowly, the story flowed from Herawati's mouth. Hardiyata listened carefully to his wife's story without interrupting.
