ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 91: NO CHANCE

That night Cevin just got home after driving Balqis home. After entering the car into the garage, he walked to the front door of his house.

He opened the door, and then he walked in.

When he entered the house, in the living room his mother was sitting alone. Her face was out of nowhere, and her sister Queena was nowhere to be seen at the time. After closing the door, Cevin continued his footsteps.

"Good night. Mah..?" greet Cevin as he passed the sofa where his mama sat with eyes looking at him. It was as if there was something that was of concern to his mama at that time over him.

Maybe his mom was surprised, too, because he came home from college late at night. Because at that time the clock on the wall already showed the number ten.

"Kok mama hasn't slept yet...?" cevin asked then followed by stopping his steps.

As a child, Cevin deserved to worry about his mother. He was worried that there was a problem he was facing. As a boy, I already

cevin should be worried about his mom. As a second child and man, currently after his older brother Irfan died, he is the family defender if there is any problem in his family.

"Night..," replied his mother Cevin in a cold voice. His eyes were still looking at his son.

Curiously, Cevin's mother asked again.

"Your mother was deliberately waiting for you, Vin. Where have you been, Vin...?" reproofing.

The middle-aged woman's eyes were still fixed on her son. Look at his son's body carefully. It's like worrying if there's a part of his son's body missing.

"Lecture, Mah." replied Cevin.

"What college is up to this night...?" tanya mamah satirize with lips smiling wryly and eyes still fixed looking fixed to the face of his son. Cevin doesn't.

"Here sit.." orders his mother. Cevin was sitting next to his mother.

"Cevin..." Mama.

"Yes, Mah..."

Reply Cevin.

"Your mom wants to ask you. Did you ever teach you to lie...?" asked his mother Cevin in a firm and sharp tone. His eyes were fixed on his son's face, as if he were investigating.

"No, Ma."

Cevin.

"Have you ever taught yourself to be brave and defiant towards your parents...?" again, Cevin asked with eyes still looking at his son's face, like a prosecutor who was questioning the accused.

Cevin fell silent...!!!

"Jawab, Cevin...?"

Speak a little with a loud tone.

"No. Ma...!"

Reply Cevin.

"Then why do you dare to lie and dare to oppose mama...?" asked the middle-aged woman with a deep breath. His eyes remained fixed on the face of his son who was now bowing his head.

"Cevin doesn't feel like he's lying and dares to defy mamah" Cevin replied softly, trying to defend himself.

"Truly you don't feel like lying and dare to oppose your mother...?" his mother asked Cevin to ask for a firm answer from his son, who,

"Yes, Ma." Reply Cevin.

"Well, apparently now you're not paying attention anymore" the middle-aged woman murmured, making.

Cevin grew clueless about his true mama's intentions. Already she was confused because Balqis was pregnant and she was just about to say it to her mother, it turned out that her mother had been more ahead of her interrogation. So Cevin was not able to express what he brought after bringing Balqis to his home.

"Mamah means...?" cevin asked, because he did not understand the real meaning of his mother's words. He felt, all this time he had never underestimated or opposed his mother. During this time, he always complied and tried to show his devotion to both parents.

But why did his mother suddenly accuse him of ignoring his words?

Isn't that a strange thing?

And it's unacceptable?

"You're a student and you're an undergraduate candidate, Cevin. You should have understood what you meant" said Cevin in a still firm voice.

"Really, Mah. Cevin did not understand the meaning of mamah speech," replied Cevin lirih. Then after taking a deep breath, Cevin continued his words.

"For so long, Cevin felt he had obeyed what mamah said. And all this time, Cevin felt he never once dared to oppose mamah. How does Cevin understand the meaning of mamah, if in reality Cevin never did a stunt that opposes or belittles mamah..?"

The young and handsome man's face instantly turned sad. It even seemed almost crying. His heart was upset because he felt all this time his mother always pressured him. He doesn't want to understand if he's not a child anymore. If he is an adult. Already a student, an undergraduate candidate who has high intellectuality. Which should determine your own future.

Sally, Celvin's mommy is a manatee.

"Well, if you don't understand what mama means. Now mom wants to ask you. And mamah wishes you would answer honestly," said his mother Herman, still looking into his son's face.

"About what, Mah?" Ask Cevin.

The middle-aged woman did not immediately reveal her question. But for a moment he seemed to take a deep breath with his eyes still looking fixed to his son's face. The sharp look in his eyes, made Cevin not dare to raise his face to look at each other. Let alone him as a child.

His father who became a husband, sometimes did not dare to argue with his mother if his mother Cevin was in a state of anger. And it's been going on since Cevin was a kid. And that fact also makes Irfan his dead brother, Cevin and his sister, Queena also afraid to meet with his mother if their mother is angry.

"Cevin..."

Sally said, Mom.

"Yes, Ma..."

Reply Cevin.

"Are you still dating a girl named Balqis?" asked his mother Cevin with eyes fixed on his son's face.

"Where do you know...?"

Ask Cevin.

"From whom do you know, it doesn't matter. Mamah only asks you to answer what you ask honestly," said Selly.

Cevin looked down deeper.

"Are you still in a relationship with that girl?" Ask Selly, Cevin's mom.

"What's the matter, Mah?"

Cevin asked in curiosity.

"Eh, asked back to ask. Answer the question Mamah. Is it true that you're still dating a girl named Balqis...?" repeated the middle-aged woman with eyes still looking fixed at her son's face.

It was as if the middle-aged woman was asking for an answer that was also the certainty of her child

"Why is it, Mah?"

Ask Cevin.

His eyes grew increasingly fixed, staring at the face of his son who weakly nodded his head.

"Yes, Mah."

Reply Cevin.

"Don't you tell me from the first time you talked about Balqis, if you don't like it. If Mom doesn't want you to have a relationship with her? Why are you still in a relationship with him? Isn't that a defiant act...?!" snarled Selly angrily, as she felt she had been trivialized by her son.

"You heard Cevin. Mama doesn't agree with you with that girl! You still remember what happened to your brother Irfan with that girl, right? Mamah doesn't want what your sister's going through to happen to you, too, you don't embarrass the parents, Vin. Papah and your mother have agreed that you be Nabila's husband. After all, you can see Nabila is much prettier than that girl. Nabila also has everything. His parents were rich and famous. Educating Nabila was very proud. He now bears the title of S2."

Selly.

"But, Mah..." Cevin was about to argue, but Selly quickly cut in.

"Your mother doesn't want to hear any excuses from you. Don't embarrass Mama."

Selly.

"Well, give Cevin a chance to make an effort..."

Cevin said without finishing his words have been cut by Selly.

"Once you say you disagree, no... Never argue, if you still want to consider as a mamah child you have to obey what mamah said. But if you stay with your stance, want to marry the girl, please you can leave this house and no longer step on this house! Let me lose another child. Mamah prefers missing one child, rather than having to be fought by children who do not want to understand the true good intentions of mama. You got it, though,

Cevin...!" his mother was half threatening.

Cevin was silent with his head still down.

"You've chosen a wife for you, Cevin. Mom doesn't want you to argue. And you need to remember, though,

your wife will not put our family to shame." said her mother later with a face describing the belief, if the choice was truly perfect and trustworthy.

Herman remained silent without saying. It felt useless that he tried to ask for his understanding, because his mother remained hard on his stance. But on the other hand, he also loves Balqis.

Balqis is now pregnant. It seemed impossible, he left Balqis and married Nabila, his mother's choice girl.

"When it's a child people are. He's a graduate abroad. Her future's bright. What are you proud of Balqis? Anyway, if the matter is pretty? Nabila is no less than Balqis, you can prove it tomorrow...!" his mother again tried to convince her son, to accept his offer. In order to accept Nabila, the girl of his choice to accompany Cevin's life later.

"But, Mamah..." Cevin's words stopped.

Cevin tried to refute, but he had not finished talking, his mother had already cut off his speech. Made Cevin stop his words immediately.

"Everything else to say...?" asked his mother Cevin with eyes fixed on his son's face.

His sharp gaze, made Cevin back down. He did not dare to look at his mother. Let alone him, his papa also always did not dare to collide with his sharp eyes and felt sitting.

"Cevin loves Balqis more, Mah.." replied Cevin in a soft voice, trying to ask for understanding from his mother if love could not be forced. "How can Cevin build a household with someone Cevin doesn't love, Mah...?" the word Cevin then tries to remind his mother and give understanding to her mother the true meaning of love.

"Omong empty...! Love is easy to say and get after you build a household later, Cevin..," said his mother Cevin still remain in his position. "You haven't seen Nabila, so you can talk like that. But later, if you have met, mamah is sure your stance will change," said his mama with smiling lips, imagining the beauty of the face of his future daughter-in-law. He is sure, of course, will be able to forget Balqis when he meets Nabila later.

Cevin was silent.

"Mamah is sure, if you have met Nabila and have known him for a long time, surely you will be able to accept it..," said his mother Cevin with smiling lips, said, still imagining how his son will live side by side with Nabila. And more than that, he will be proud to have a person of honor and honor and rich.

"No, Ma... Cevin can't..."

Answer Cevin.

"Do you want to argue with Mom?" Selly.

"Sorry...! Mom...! Not that Cevin wants to argue and dare to mamah. But Cevin just asked, understanding from mama. Cevin is an adult, already a student and a graduate candidate. Give Cevin a chance to make a choice of Cevin's own heart, Mah..."

Cevin.

"Well, if that's what you want. But remember, if it is your will, do not expect mamah to admit you as a child again. And please you can leave this house. Don't set foot in this house again!" Selly said firmly.

After saying so, Selly got up from her seat. Then in a fit of annoyance, the middle-aged woman passed away leaving her son who was still sitting silent alone with a mind that was still raging erratically.

His words are a decision, not a joke. If his mother had said that she would not recognize herself as a child again, of course, it would happen. And that's what makes Cevin's heart worried. Should he stick to his stance, which means he will no longer be recognized by his mama? Or follow his mama's will, which means he has to leave Balqis and the baby in Balqis' womb to suffer? After a moment of silence with the mind raging erratically, Cevin finally woke up from his seat. Head to the attic stairs. Go up to the attic and go into his room to sleep. But I don't know why that night Cevin couldn't sleep well. His mind was agitated, thinking about the event he had just experienced with his mamah.

When he had just returned home to take Balqis, there was a heated debate between him and his mother. The debate is solely because Cevin wants to get the right to determine his own future. You do not have to obey his will. But he eventually lost.

Although Papah and his sister, Queena had tried to help him, still his mother was the Queen in the house. All decisions taken by his mother, is a law that must be implemented by the occupants of the house. No exception to his papa.

Sometimes Cevin also asked, why the hell papa should yield with mamahnya? Isn't the papa at home, it's the head of the household? It should be the father who has the right to decide all the decisions in the house.

But in his family it was very different. It is precisely his mother who has the right to decide on the decision in the household. Which makes Cevin sometimes irritated, mamahnya every decision not first ask for consideration from his family. He still remembered his resolute mama's words and did not want to know any reason. Her mother still disapproves of her love affair with Balqis.

Cevin's memory again floated on the debate between him and his new mama.

"Once you say you disagree, no... Never argue, if you still want to consider as a mamah child you have to obey what mamah said. But if you stick to your stance, please you can leave this house. Don't come back. And mamah won't want to acknowledge you as a son of mama anymore. Let mamah lose one child, as long as mamah is not opposed by the child. You understand that, Cevin...!"

Selly said, Cevin's mom at the time.

That is how his mother always said, whenever Cevin invited to talk about the Balqis problem.

Cevin squirms his body. From the beginning of the stomach with both hands supporting the chin, now stretched with both hands under the head. His eyes looked at the ceiling. As if he wanted to ask for help on the ceiling of the room, so that he could find a way out to solve the problem he was facing.

"You've chosen a wife for you, Cevin. Mom doesn't want you to argue. And you need to remember, your wife will not make our family ashamed.." said his mother then with a face describing the belief, if the choice is really perfect and can be trusted.

"When it's a child people are. He's a graduate abroad. Her future's bright. What are you proud of Balqis? Anyway, if the matter is pretty? Nabila is no less than Balqis. You can prove it tomorrow...!" his mother again tried to convince her son, to accept his offer. In order to accept Nabila, the girl of his choice to accompany Cevin's life later.

"But, Mamah..." Cevin tried to refute, but he had not finished talking, his mother had already cut off his speech. Made Cevin stop his words immediately.

"Everything else to say...?"

Selly.

"Cevin loves Balqis more, Mah.." replied Cevin in a soft voice, trying to ask for an understanding from his mother that love could not be forced.

"How can Cevin build a household with someone Cevin doesn't love, Mah...?" the word Cevin then tries to remind his mother and give understanding to her mother the true meaning of love.

"Love is easy to say and get after you build the household later, Cevin..," said his mother Herman still, in his stance. "You haven't seen Nabila, so you can talk like that. But later, if you have met, mamah is sure your stance will change," said his mama with smiling lips, imagining the beauty of the face of his future daughter-in-law. He was sure, if Cevin would be able to forget Balqis if he had met Nabila.

Cevin was silent.

"Mamah is sure, if you have met Nabila and have known him for a long time, surely you will be able to accept it..," said his mother Cevin with smiling lips, said, still imagining how his son will live side by side with Nabila. And more than that, he will be proud to have a person of honor and honor and rich. Cevin keeps drifting with his thoughts. His heart ached, every time he remembered his great dictatorship. He also did not understand, why can't his papa do anything?

Why is it that she is the head of the household in that house?

Not papah?

Cevin was still thinking about the problem he was having. His love affair with Balqis, which continues to be about by his mama. Also the matter of his girlfriend's speech this afternoon, while on campus. The statement of her lover, who told her that now her lover is pregnant with a fetus the result of their love relationship. And the fetus, now three months old. Cevin took another deep breath, each remembering the words of his lover.

Then he recalled the words of Balqis this afternoon, when they were on campus. Even he had promised Balqis that she would be responsible for marrying the woman.

Cevin was blown away when he remembered his promise to Balqis which he had just said some time ago. Why didn't she tell her mom that Balqis was pregnant? So that he will not be forced to continue to marry Nabila.

Why does he not have courage? Cevin thought to himself, regretting his cowardice. The night continues to spread in rhythm with the rotation of time. The clock on the wall of the room has shown the number one in the morning past thirty-five minutes. But Cevin still could not close his eyes. His mind continued to drift erratically. Thinking about all the problems he was facing. Tired of thinking about all the problems he faced, Cevin finally unconsciously fell asleep.
