She's my Ex-husband
28 DMS

Almost early in the morning, Saga woke up. The first thing he remembers is Dad. It was only a day that he could regroup with his papa, so it was only natural that what he was thinking about right now was papa and papa. It feels longing for many years is not fully treated, he still wants more time with papa.

Getting out of bed, the first thing he saw was a big bag of new toys. But that's not what Saga wants, he wants his papa.

Saga exited the room, walked towards her mother's room and knocked.

Tok tok tok tok

"Moment."

Many times Saga did that until Mila woke up and opened her bedroom door.

"Saga, what's wrong?" Mila who was still very sleepy, leaned against the door frame. His eyes felt sticky, but he tried to open them.

"Why sleep in your mom's room?" Saga entered her mother's room. But what he found, his mother's bed was empty, nobody was there.

"Where's dad?" Saga turned around, looking at her mama who was currently standing behind her.

Mila smiled, pulled Saga's arm towards the bed and invited her to sit there. Mila thought, tomorrow morning Saga must ask where her papa is. But apparently, it was still at 2 pm that the boy had woken up and looked for his papa.

"Papa's home."

Saga's eyes immediately glazed with glass, not long after, clear liquid melted from the corner of his eye. He thought his father had come back to a faraway place and would never see him again like all this time.

"Hey, why cry?" Mila wiped Saga's tears. His sleepiness disappeared immediately.

"Will papa go back to a far place, never come to see Saga again?"

Mila shakes. "Saga can still see papa."

A ray of happiness instantly radiated from Saga's eyes.

"So papa didn't go back to a far place?"

Mila shook her head while making a smile. Although at this time, his heart was in a mess. Saga will definitely ask more questions after this.

"So, where'd papa go? Why don't you stay here with us?"

Although it is difficult to explain the separation to a child the age of Saga, but that does not mean it cannot.

"Like Saga who has a mother and grandmother, papa also has a family. So you have to go home to his family."

"Aren't we also papa's?"

"Another family you mean."

Saga flirted, trying to understand what her mother had said. The mother of the foundation owner, Saga immediately remembered Miss Dirga.

"What's that other family papa, the mother of the foundation owner?"

Mila nodded.

"The mother of the foundation's good people, she will definitely not allow papa to sleep here. Later that night, papa sleeps here huh mah, if not obtained, let Saga who talk to the mother of the foundation owner. Can you ma?" Whimper Saga. "Saga is still kangen papa, wants to sleep together papa. We'll sleep three nights, okay, huh?"

Mila sighed and then held Saga. True, it is not easy to explain about divorce to children. But suddenly Mila remembered Saga's story about her friend Mikail.

Mila let go of her arms and looked at Saga.

"Saga told me about Mikail who lived with her mom every week and weekend with her dad, right?"

Saga nodded. "Mikail said, mom and dad are already.ber..." Saga recalled that less familiar word.

"Divorce."

"Yes, that." Sahut Saga fast.

Mila looked up, trying to hold back the tears from falling. Her lips were too faint to convey this bad news. Just one day Saga was happy to meet his father, tonight, the boy's heart would be broken when he found out that his parents were separated.

"Are mom and dad divorced like Mikail's mom and dad?" Saga was able to conclude before Mila said it.

"Hiks hyks hyks." The crying saga broke. Although her mother had not said yes, but was silent with tears dripping, it was like an answer for Saga.

"Don't cry, Saga can still be with mom or dad. Even though we can't be with the three of us. Mama and papa love Saga." Mila quickly wiped her tears and held Saga.

Saga's shoulders go up and down with sobbing. The sound of her wrenching cry made Mila's heart feel tight. Often, children are the victims of parental separation. The child who should be able to get two loves together will only get half.

"Saga won't lack affection, Saga has papa has mama, even though we're not together, but all love Saga."

Saga breaks away from her mother's arms. "If mom and dad love Saga, why are you getting divorced? Saga would rather you guys be together. Saga wants to be with mom and dad every day, not split up by Mikail." Saga's crying was heavy. The shadow of spending time with mom and dad on different days makes him sad. While other children can spend time with both, but why can he only be with one.

Mila wiped Saga's tears and then kissed her forehead. Saga's question was too difficult for him to answer. It's not that it's not dear, it's just that the circumstances are forcing. And Saga is not yet the time to understand that.

Saga saw the little teddy bear she bought with her papa this afternoon.

"This is the doll that my father bought?"

Mila nodded.

"So papa said, want to give this doll to the most special woman papa hearted. What does that mean, papa's most special mama?"

"Maybe." Mila replied with a glare. Only Elgar knew his heart, so only the man knew who the most special woman was.

Mila lay beside Saga while hugging the child. Despite this, Saga continued to sob. He kept thinking about Mikail, even though the friend looked happy, but there was a certain moment, the child looked sad, especially if he saw his friend who was with both parents.

"Mah." Mah."

"Yes dear." Mila rubbed Saga's hair and kissed the top of her head.

"Why are mom and dad divorced?"

"Saga is still a child, she doesn't understand adult affairs. One day, Saga will understand why mom and dad separated."

Sorry baby, sorry mom and dad. If there were any other option, we wouldn't want to split up either.

...----------------...

In the morning, Elgar called Mila. He misses Saga, wants a video call saying good morning to his little whiz.

If only we could be together, I wouldn't be all this in the morning.

While waiting for his call to be connected, Elgar smiles smilingly imagining his life later with Mila and Saga. He could not wait to see the happy day with them.

When the phone is connected, immediately appeared Saga's face on the mobile phone screen.

"Father." Exclaim the boy.

"Morning my son."

"Morning papa."

Elgar frowned looking at Saga's puffy-looking eyes.

"Saga's crying?"

The little boy nodded. "Papa's saga."

Elgar's heart was sore. Poor Saga, she's the victim of her divorce from Mila.

"Bah."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Say mama, papa and mama are divorced."

Jleb, Elgar's heart is like a very sharp knife. The fact that he's divorced with Mila is something that hurts him a lot, maybe for Mila as well.

"What will be, every weekend Saga with mom and weekend with papa?" You think, all children whose parents divorced will live such a day.

Elgar shook. "Don't love, we'll always be together. Every day, Saga will be with mom and dad."

"Is that really Pah?" It looks very happy.

"Yes, but not now." Saga again bowed lethargic.

"But papa's promise won't be long. Saga just has to wait for the real thing again. Papa and Mama will be together again, same Saga too. The three of us will always be together."

Saga lifted his face to hear Elgar's words.

"What promise?" ask Saga.

"Yes, papa promised. Don't be sad anymore. Saga is ready to go to school, later go home from work, papa stop by Saga's house."

"Horay..."

After the video call with her papa, Saga goes to Mila to return the phone. Saga's gloomy face suddenly disappeared and changed cheerfully, making Mila astonished. Actually what he was talking about with Elgar, why can be immediately cheerful like this.

"Did you talk to me, papa?" Mila could not help her curiosity.

"Papa said, we'll be together, three. Saga doesn't have to be sad, it just has to wait, not long."

Mila sighed, Elgar should not have made such a promise to Saga. We never know what happens in the future. The divorce of Elgar and Salsa, not necessarily smooth and fast.
