Billionaire Bride
CH-22 Request of Shezie's mother

Shezie headed to his mother's room being treated. He was shocked to find his mother had returned.

“Bu Vina is home,” said the nurse who happened to help her mother Shezie earlier.

“Home home? With whom?” ask Shezie.

“With a young man who likes to visit him,” replied the nurse.

“Young men?” Shezie guessed it must be Martin.

“Do I have to pay?” ask Shezie.

“It's been settled all,” replied the nurse.

“Alright then, I want to meet with Doctor Arfan,” Shezie said.

“Doctor Arfan is in his room,” replied the nurse.

“Thank you,” said Shezie, he also immediately went to see Doctor Arfan in his practice room.

“Sorry I came late Doc, I want to know the health development of my mother,” Shezie said, when he had met Doctor Arfan.

“For while yesterday's chemo results have been progress, only because it has been long delayed, to recover completely seems to be very difficult but there is still a possibility of recovery, no one knows. It's just that medically, your mother still has to control as usual, we don't know if there will be a chemo next. Only unfortunately for this type of cancer usually patients have to be in chemo several times. There are even those who do the last chemo with the risk if it fails it will die but it can survive even with the condition of the cancer cells are not dead, how the condition of each patient,” said Dr. Arfan.

“What does that mean mom can't be cured?” shezie asked, listlessly.

“We try to stop the spread first. Because here too the equipment is very limited,” replied Doctor Arfan.

“I heard there is a good hospital in Singapore Doc,” Shezie said.

“To treat outside, must be taken into account carefully, because it requires money that is not small. And must be mentally strong if it turns out not successfully cured,” said Dr. Arfan.

Shezie. For once she had to be Henry's bride, and it was just a coincidence, there was no way she could make so much money every day.

Shezie took a long breath. He will still strive for the recovery of his mother, he does not want to have to lose his mother.

After much talk with Dr. Arfan, Shezie leaves the hospital in a doldrums. He was confused about where to go for his mother's next treatment. After the hospital he came home.

Arriving at home he found his mother was resting alone in his room.

“Mother I'm sorry I came late, the road jammed,” Shezie said as he approached his mother. She will hug him but his mother dodges, leaving Shezie shocked.

“Bu, mother why? Mom angry? I'm sorry, said the nurse mother went home first was delivered by Martin?” ask Shezie.

His mother woke up from her sleep and looked at Shezie.

“Tell mom where have you been? Where do you live?” mother Shezi asked, making her daughter sharp.

“I. I...” Shezie stuttered, let alone seeing his angry mother.

“You lied to mom, you don't work at the cafe branch office where you work, you even permit 2 days not to go to work, actually where are you? What are you doing?” ask mother.

Getting that question made Shezie samakin shocked.

“Mother.mother calls cafe?” shezie asked, she did not expect her mother would check until she called the cafe.

“Iya,” replied His mother.

Hearing her mother's confession leaves Shezie confused, what should she say to her mother? She couldn't possibly say that if she had been married yesterday, her mother would have been getting angry again.

“I. I...” Shezie getting nervous and confused.

“Are you with the man who gave you money for your mother's treatment?” accuse Mrs Vina.

Shezi was shocked to hear it again. What his mother said was true, he was with the man who gave money for the treatment of his mother, Henry.

“I'm sorry, Mom!” shezie said, sitting at his mother's feet. Tears began to drip on his cheeks.

“Mom didn't think you could do that bad. I'd rather not seek treatment than see your life destroyed,” said his mother.

Shezie doesn't talk anymore, he just cries.

“I just want mom to live longer, I don't want to lose mom,” Shezie said.

Vina was silent, her eyes began to glaze over.

“Mother knows that maternal illness is difficult to treat and requires a lot of costs. I hope stop, stop looking for money for your treatment. I don't want your life ruined to make money for you. I don't want to live by seeing your future fall apart, I'd rather die,” her mother said, further making Shezie sad and cry.

“Don't be so Ma'am, I'll still make money for my mother's treatment, no matter how,” Shezie said.

“But not by humbling yourself in a striped nose guy!” shezie's mother said, hearing that made Shezie surprised.

“Then tell me why don't you go home not working?” ask mother.

“I..aku.” Sezie was confused as to what else to say, he couldn't possibly speak the truth.

“I became a guide in a travel, I happen to be my friend offering this job,” Shezie said, lying.

His mother looked at him.

“Why didn't you say it that time instead you said you worked at your cafe's branch office?” ask his mother, still not believing.

“Because I don't want you to worry because I have another job. Coincidentally the income is good so I want, only occasionally if it is crowded and need additional energy freelane,” replied Shezie, trying to convince his mother.

“Working in travel won't pay you so much, tell me honestly where did you get the money cost mom chemo?” asked his mother still staring at the look on the face of his daughter who is still resting on his feet.

“Indeed it wasn't that big, partly I borrowed it to my friend. I don't have to worry, I'll pay for it in installments. Because only on him can borrow without having to use any collateral,” replied Shezie.

Her mother looked at her daughter, trying to believe Shezie's words. His hands touching her shoulders Shezie lifted her up to sit next to him. He looked at his daughter's face.

“Mom don't want your condition to make you unhappy, I just want to see you happy. I will always feel guilty if something bad happens to you,” said her mother.

“Iya Ma'am, I get it, I'm sorry,” Shezie said, hugging his mother.

“Later if there is time to take your friend home, I want to say thank you,” said his mother.

Hearing him made Shezie surprised. A fella? Whose friend will he bring? Friends of the cafe? Salary in the cafe is not big, no rich friends can lend him money, his mother will not believe. Henry's? Did he have to take Henry to Mom pretending to be his friend? No, the business with Henry is done.

“Iya Ma'am, I'll bring it here,” Shezie replied.

“Mother also has a request for you,” said her mother.

“What's Bu?” ask Shezie.

“Mother is afraid that the age of the mother is soon, mother wants to see you get married, marry Martin, he is a good man,” her mother said.

Shezie was surprised to hear his mother's words. She let go of her embrace. How could he have married Martin while his status was Henry's wife? Henry has not divorced her.

“Bu, I don't like Marin,” Shezie said.

“You know, but you see, Martin is very kind to you, he is also kind to Mom, he likes you for a long time, open the door of your heart, marry him. I will feel calm if you are already with the man who loves you,” said his mother.

Shezie. What's he supposed to say? He can't be honest, he can't be honest with his marriage, his mother will be very angry let alone he married without asking for blessing, even he told Henry's parents that he was an orphan, he said, his mother knew this would hurt.

“Shezie! Has something happened?” ask mother.

“No Ma'am. I'm just tired,” Shezie replied

“Rest, message mom, try to accept Martin, he's a good man,” his mother said.

Shezie is silent again, he doesn't like Martin. I don't know why he hesitated about Martin. He felt that Martin was only looking for his mother.

Shezie looked at his mother and hugged her again, also kissed her cheek, she loved her mother so much, she did not want to disappoint her mother but to marry Martin? I don't know…

“I break Mom,” Shezie said, while getting up from her seat. Threw a backpack that was pounded on the floor earlier.

“Rest,” said his mother.

Shezie came out of his mother's room and headed for her room.

Inside her room she was just pondering, standing by the window of her open room. He was confused whether he really should accept Martin? While his status was still his wife Henry, even though their marriage was only limited to work.

Shezie glanced at his backpack again, he grabbed it and opened it, going to take out the dirty clothes that were worn yesterday. But when he opened it he was surprised to see the contents of his backpack. There's a wedding dress there. Who put that dress in?

Shezie did not bring the dress at all even though her in-laws had already given it, she just remembered wanting to quickly pick up her mother, and forgot about the dress.

She took out her wedding dress and touched it.

Did Henry put the dress in? It was fitting that he felt that his backpack felt so full but because of the thought of his mother he did not pay attention to it.

The touch of the beautiful dress, the pearl still stuck in the dress. If sold at a good price. But..is it true that he will sell it? This dress has a lot of memories, it seems it will be heavy to sell it, unless he has to take off his pearl and sell it, not with his dress.

Shezie again touched the dress, it felt like a dream if it had been a wedding yesterday. I don't know when he'll see the rich driver again.

Then he remembered his mother's words about Martin, for some reason even though his marriage was not his wish but because he had already said a promise with Henry, it felt so real and binding.

As she touched the dress, Shezie saw a ring on her ring finger, the ring was a sign of a wedding bond. I don't know how long he just played the ring, and then he took it off. It's all over, her marriage to Henry is over.

In his way a box he can keep to keep his ring. After it was found stored in the box between her wedding dress, the dress was rolled up with a long cloth and put into a closet in a hidden place.
