FOREVER HATE YOU'S
61. Delay

"Come in!" take Brianna to Arthur.

The woman immediately walked away, apparently to the balcony followed by Arthur in confusion.

"This. I didn't throw it away" Brianna said showing Arthur a pot of baby breath flowers.

Seeing that was of course Arthur semringah. "So you just tricked me?" tanyanya while chuckling softly.

"Uhm-huum..." Brianna nodded her head with a smile.

Arthur approached and held the side of the woman's face. "Thank you, you're willing to accept my gift" he said.

"Well, but I don't know if I can take care of him or not. I've never grown this kind of plant before."

"Take care like you take care of your other plants." Arthur thins his lips. Though only this small thing but he felt very happy because Brianna wanted to appreciate the gift, he had thought that the plant was completely discarded and trampled by Brianna.

"Is there anything else you want to talk about besides this?"

"Why indeed?" brianna asked confusedly.

"There's something I'd like to ask you if you're done talking."

"What?" sergeant Brianna.

"This man ... who?"

"Whose man?" Brianna threw out a gaze, she sat on the rattan chair located on the balcony.

"If I don't remember wrongly, his name is David" said Arthur, he was actually lazy to mention the name of another man in the middle of his conversation with Brianna but he was quite curious who David was in the eyes of his wife.

"He's just my apartment neighbor" Brianna replied lightly.

"just that? Why I feel--"

"Don't infer things from something you're feeling" Brianna said quietly.

"I just don't like the way he looks at you" Arthur admitted frankly.

Brianna's sniffing her shoulders. "I can't manage other people's way of looking at me" he replied indifferently.

"OKAY. We close this discussion. But I'm sure whatever you're hiding, I'll find out later."

Hearing that, Brianna immediately glared at Arthur who responded to the man with a soft nudity.

"good. I'll be honest."

Arthur smiled slanted, he had already guessed that there was something Brianna was trying to hide.

"She almost married me 4 years ago."

Now it was Arthur's eyes that glared and glared at Brianna's confession.

Brianna laughing. "Have you? That's why I don't want to tell you," he said.

"No. No. how could it be like that?" Arthur wanted to know more. How could the man named David almost marry Brianna.

"I was pregnant, nobody could take my life and Zach because we weren't working. You know we just graduated from college back then, while Zach was still at Senior High School. David wants to be responsible for the fetus that I carry even if it's not for his actions" explained Brianna.

Arthur's massaging his temple now. "He's single?" tanyakanya.

"He never failed at the household."

"You're interested in him?"

Brianna smiled keki. "Can't ya don't."

"Why so ambiguous." Arthur screeches not to like. "But I don't think you might like it, if that's how sure you're married" she said later.

Brianna laughed."You jealous?" tanyakanya.

"Of course" Arthur replied without further ado.

"There's no need to be jealous of her, you're right, if I liked her I wouldn't have turned down our marriage, just yet."

"Then me?" ask Arthur. "Do you like me?" continued.

"Come on," Brianna said with a chuckle.

Brianna's face turned blushing and Arthur smiled at her.

"See? You're starting to like me" the man said with his bow.

Brianna was embarrassed, she lowered her face and occasionally next threw a sideways glance. He did not dare to return the look of Arthur's eyes that seemed to intimidate him.

"We're having dinner at mommy's tonight?" take Arthur.

Brianna seemed worried, she was confused to say yes or not. He feels not ready to see Jane again especially if he meets her as a daughter-in-law.

"Do you think it's right to see your mother at a time like now?"

"Why? You sung? I told you he'd bless us."

"If you think so, fine we'll meet him."

Arthur smiled and clasped Brianna's hand tightly. He seemed to want to channel strength to the woman and said that everything would be fine.

...***...

That night Brianna finally comes to Jane's residence with Arthur and Chico.

Brianna thought, Jane would welcome him stiffly, in fact the middle-aged woman accepted their arrival very kindly. She looks 180° different from her attitude in the office and it makes Brianna even more amazed with the woman who is already her in-laws.

"Come, eaten, Bri. Mom, it's so good that you guys took the time to come here."

Brianna smiled, she began to devour her food in silence. Chico occasionally takes the bribe Jane gives her and occasionally laughs giggles.

After dinner, Brianna is invited by Jane to talk alone, while Arthur takes the opportunity to get closer to Chico.

"Bri, I've accepted your marriage. If Arthur does love you, I can only bless him."

"Thank you, Madam."

Jane smiled faintly. "Effort to call me Mom, just like Arthur did. Ever since you married my son, you've been my daughter" she said.

Brianna was very moved, it turns out that Jane has a warm motherly attitude.

"Thank you, Mom."

Jane smiled because Brianna wanted to listen to her wish.

"I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, may I hug you?" ask Brianna later.

"Of course, honey." Jane welcomes Brianna's embrace which turns out to be very moved because of this situation. How not, Brianna had long wanted to hug her own mother but never could, maybe Jane could she consider her mother from now on.

"My mom's been dead since I was a kid so---"

"I see, from now on you can also think of me as your own mother."

"thank you. Thank you," Brianna said with tears suddenly falling.

Arthur and Chico arrive moments later and find the two women of different generations hugging each other. Arthur let it go until finally the hug was broken then he approached the two.

"What did I miss?" joking Arthur looked at the two people.

Jane laughs. "It's just the women's business that men can't know about" she lapsed.

Arthur snorted but he wasn't really angry. "Efforting to be close to each other, isn't mom really wanting to have a daughter and my wife maybe the answer to your desire is Mom" she said.

Jane nodded. "of course. Mom will think of Brianna as mom's own daughter. You have a better relationship, Mom will be more pleased if your marriage is soon published and inaugurated in the church" he asked.

Arthur and Brianna looked at each other and smiled at each other.

While Arthur felt the end of his shirt pulled at the same time. He looked down and it was Chico who did that to him.

"Dad, what's married?" tanyanya polo's.
