FOR HER SAKE
S2 - Insecure

Daddy Alvin opened the door to Tiara's room slowly. Inside the Tiara had already fallen asleep after being tired of crying all day. Crying her husband's changing attitude. Feeling guilty and losing.

The girl knew she was guilty. It is only natural that Alvaro gets angry and chooses to avoid it. But his selfish side wants Alvaro to stay by his side. Loving her as always without thinking about the mistakes she made. Expecting her husband to forgive her without a grudge. Received himself back in the warm embrace of his husband.

Mommy Shevi who had tried to calm her eldest daughter, kept her index finger in front of her mouth. Coded her husband not to make a sound. Their son just fell asleep. He hugged Alvaro's shirt from the apartment.

Daddy Alvin looked at his daughter. The little princess who grew up without his embrace just yet. And now daddy Alvin feels guilty about the sadness his son is going through. I feel responsible for what my son is going through.

If only he hadn't told them to get married. His son will not experience sadness as he is today.

The three-child man who still looked dashing walked over, kissing his daughter's forehead. Removing the remaining tears that still wet the face of his third love in this world after his mother and wife.

"Sorry daddy" he said.

Mommy Shevi has shed her tears. His heart ached to see his son cry like that. Never had the woman who was a little four-headed saw her son as weak and sad as that.

Daddy Alvin turned around and grabbed his wife. "Let's get out. Let our daughter rest."

The two of them came out, leaving their son who was already in the dreamland. Hopefully tomorrow after waking up, his condition will improve. Again there was a spirit and a smile on their child's face.

"Well, where did you know?" ask mommy Shevi.

Without further explanation, the husband knew the purpose of the wife was about the condition of their child. "Rafa called me earlier. Said you guys want your brother back to the hospital all want to look?"

Mommy Shevi nodded. Earlier this morning the woman was shocked by the return of her son who she said wanted to rest. And when Tiara was about to return to the hospital in the afternoon, she offered to drop off and visit her daughter-in-law. The two twins also asked to come along, so they both went to the hospital.

No one knows if Alvaro was allowed to go home that afternoon. Even more shocked when his son-in-law chose to go home to his parents rather than go home with his wife.

Feeling grateful that he was driving Tiara. If the child left alone, it must now be unknown where their child was crying over her husband.

"What do we do?"

"Where's what? even though our son may not be an adult, he is married. We can't interfere in their domestic affairs."

"But I'm sad to see our son." said mommy Shevi leaning her head against her husband's chest after they sat in the living room.

"It's not just you who's sad, I'm the same. But I do believe that if our son-in-law is not the one who will take responsibility for granted. You don't have to worry too much."

Mommy Shevi just nodded. Which mother isn't worried about seeing her son sad like that. Even seeing his children crying because of fighting with his friend as a child his heart felt unacceptable. What's more now his son cries for the future of his household. Not just crying but falling.

***

The person who was being cried by Tiara, was now sitting in the living room in front of his entire family.

"Father is not warm in the family. For my father, work is everything. So that I can support you properly. Unlike the father when young who had to slam bones first to get something that you want." said the father firmly. Look at each member of his family.

"But dad never taught you to hurt a sister! would you be willing if this mother, brother and sister that you care about were to hurt you with words as hurtful as you did to your wife?!"

Alvaro who was sitting in a wheelchair just lowered his head and shook his head.

"You are not willing, but you are not the one who gave birth to them! what about Tiara's mother when she finds her son you hurt?"

Alvaro. Without question he knew how to feel mommy Shevi would feel.

Even after he left the treatment room and when the mother called the doctor for a therapy schedule, the young man returned to the treatment room only to see the state of his wife.

His wife was still on the floor hugging Mommy Shevi. Beside them were Raka and Reina who also looked sad.

Alvaro's heart was also sliced to hear his wife's heartbreaking cry. But right now the young man was feeling insecure. I feel at the bottom of my life. I no longer felt worthy to stand next to my wife. Feeling that you will not be able to make the girl you love. Feeling will only be a burden and a hindrance for Tiara to reach her goals.

Alvaro was already quite angry when he found out Tiara was taking time off. Why does his wife take time off? to accompany him? care for her? was he so helpless in the eyes of his wife that he thought he would not be able to do anything while Tiara was in college.

For this reason, Alvaro decided to stay in his family home. Hoping for Tiara to return to college because there was no need to bother taking care of her.

Unfortunately there was no other way to get Tiara to leave his side if not by being hurt. Alvaro also berated himself earlier after uttering a curse for his wife. His heart felt much more pain than Tiara felt. Trying to kill his wife's feelings is like killing herself.

"Sorry yeah." That's all Alvaro can say.

"Why are you apologizing to Dad? did you do anything wrong to me?" asked the middle-aged man firmly.

"Kalo brother is not married. None of this is gonna happen. Everything will go the way you want." he said back.

"Dad never bothered what you wanted it not to happen. Dad arranges everything in your life including the future wife it's just dad wants the best for your son. Wish you could be happy for getting all the best you can give me!" mom rubbed dad's arm so as not to get more emotional. Their children are still sick, however.

Dad took a breath. "But if you're happy with Tiara as your wife, I don't mind. I'm happy for you too. What I don't like is the way you treat your wife."

Alvaro did not answer. No one would know his feelings at this moment. No one has ever been in his position now. So they won't be able to understand his feelings.

Feeling useless, feeling helpless, feeling the need to give up all the future he has and choose to stay at home to accompany his mother until old age. Being a burden and will always trouble the mother until she dies. There was no hope in his life. The dream he had seemed to disappear instantly. Even for nothing can walk Alvaro feel afraid. Fear of disappointment if in the end his legs can no longer be in motion like they used to be. He just didn't want to give Tiara more hope.
