CHOOSE SILENCE
Chapters. 30. Fall in Love

The day passed as usual.

Today I fulfilled an invitation from the school because their students took part in a singing competition to celebrate the anniversary of the foundation. Coincidentally participated in enlivening the race. It's not hard for me to split my time because I'm still in night service.

"Mommy's son is very handsome" I said after putting the powder on Leon's face.

"Thank you Mom" Leon landed a kiss on my cheek.

I smiled and daydreamed about my marriage.

"If my household is like a couple in general, this house must be filled with baby cries" my mind while fantasizing. "It must be very fun, the baby is of course handsome or beautiful like his Father and Mother," I smiled to myself.

The kiss on my forehead resuscitated my daydream. I quickly shook my head over my silliness. How could the delusion have been achieved whereas we had never had a husband and wife relationship.

"Let's have breakfast first, baby" I held Leon.

"Mom loose Leon is not a child anymore," Leon's great-granddaughter felt already big.

"Don't love Leon is a kid, the proof is still PAUD" I said as I tickled Leon's waist.

"Geli Mom," Leon chuckled with a writhing body.

"Darling don't move can fall on us later" I said as we were going down the stairs.

"Mommy really makes Leon ticklish,"

At the top end of the stairs Alfred noticed our interaction without us noticing. Leon's laughter makes this house more colorful than ever.

Hearing Leon's new call left Alfred stunned. Only today did he know that Leon's call had changed.

We headed straight to the dining table. As usual I made the breakfast that Leon liked the most.

"It's a shame to have a lot to eat so that Leon's energy to sing will be collected," my line.

"Okay Mom,"

We started to enjoy breakfast, while Dea heated the car in the yard.

"Good morning sir" Leon said to Alfred. I was silent because I was unaware of Alfred's arrival.

Alfred did not respond to it, making the look of Leon's face change.

"Honey soon spent," I deliberately diverted the atmosphere so that Leon did not get carried away.

I looked at Alfred's back which passed towards the fridge.

"Is it so hard to return a child's greeting? you have no feelings" I said in my heart.

"Mommy why doesn't the handsome Master want to return Leon's greeting?" asked Leon innocently.

"Master again canker sores dear so can not answer," I explained as the same as cuss Alfred.

I got up from the dinner table with both hands holding dirty dishes and I immediately told Leon to wait in the car.

Hearing what I was accusing made Alfred block my arm. I was surprised that the plate almost fell.

"Mama says if you raise Leon as a foster child, is that true?"

"Yes,"

My hands are getting blocked so hard.

"I'm sorry I didn't talk about this with you first because of course it doesn't matter to you" I said with my head down.

"Do you think you're very happy with the boy's presence?"

"Yes I'm very happy" I said unconsciously expressing my feelings.

Hearing that confession made Alfred jerk my arm.

"Sir.... What do you mean?" I was nervous with my eyes round.

"From the beginning I won't give you a chance to be happy or happy Isabella. And now in Leon's presence you're having fun on top of people's suffering,"

I shook my head with tears in my eyes.

"So I'll stress you one more time, choose Leon or divorce?" snapped Alfred.

"I can't choose" I nodded my head. "I beg for those two things because I really can't choose" I said, pleading.

Alfred gave a mocking smile to see me pleading while crying.

"You dare to bargain? I'm the one who can't be offered, as long as you know it's Isabella" Alfred snapped as he gripped my face.

"I don't want to let go of Leon, you also know the boy is an orphan. And I don't want a divorce from you either" I want to plead.

"Why don't you want me to divorce?" alfred shouted, but he knew the reason behind it.

My face turned upwards to stare at Alfred so intensely that our eyes met.

"There are two reasons" I said as I gulped without letting go of that look.

Alfred squinted at me for two reasons.

"Is it because you don't want your family to get hurt and in the end both of your parents end up in the hospital?"

"That's the second reason" I said. "The first reason is because I love you Al," I said in a low tone, even these tears bear witness to my declaration of love.

Of course Alfred was silent with my honesty. Early on indeed the face was full of shock but not for long burst into laughter.

"Love? you love me Isabella hahaha." - mocked Alfred while shaking both my shoulders.

I looked down again with embarrassment, even my face was red. This feeling I can't hide. Alfred managed to trap me so I couldn't hide it.

"You fell into my trap Isabella, with that this sense of revenge gradually paid off," Alfred said still chuckling mockingly at me. "But my choice can't be offered, you have to choose one of them" he said with flushed eyes.

I choked, this chest is so tight, not to mention this heart. All become one, pain, pain that is what arises.

"I'm asking for 1 year. Let Leon be with me for the time I set," I bargained with Alfred for a change of heart. "As well as our relationship, give me time until I give up at that point" I bargained back with a pleading gaze.

Alfred fell silent after hearing me negotiate.

"One day I'll definitely give up Al and you're the winner. I must have granted your wish," I cried again as I shut my mouth. Feeling unable to do so I immediately ran away from Alfred to the room. I wasn't even waiting for Alfred to answer. All I have in mind is Leon because I don't want Leon to be late.

After I left Alfred sat himself in the dining table chair. My words ring in Alfred's memory.

Hearing my statement honestly from the bottom of my heart, Alfred felt something else. Even his heart had been pounding hearing the word love but unfortunately this man was unable to realize his own heart, which exceeded was a sense of vengeance.

"I can't eat her words, she's a cunning woman. Isabella, Isabella do you think I believe in your bullshit? you're wrong with Isabella, I'm not Bernat you can fool" Alfred said with a reddened face and eyes holding in anger.

Alfred misinterpreted, he thought it was just a ruse mouth just to deflect himself. But the tears were in Alfred's eyes.

In the car I was silent without a word. Leon deliberately told me to sit in front so that Leon did not realize this haphazard face and red eyes.

Along the way I cursed my stupidity, not run out of trouble even I added again. I still remember Alfred's face laughing or mocking me. Yes my pride has fallen before Alfred. But there was a sense of relief because of a sense that I knew when I had come, even though only in ridicule. It's true I had to do that so Alfred's choice didn't happen. Let's just hope that heartless, ruthless man changes his mind and agrees to my agreement.

Seriate...
