Give me back my husband's smile
CHAPTER 90: The Defense of a Mother

Laura took a special box of milk for pregnant women in the pantry closet, she opened the package and made a glass of warm milk chocolate flavor for her favorite daughter. It's been three days that the moon has been in this house with her. His mental health gradually improved even though his trauma still loomed over him. Laura sighed, at least the Moon would feel safe beside her.

He won't let a single person hurt the Moon again. Laura put the finished glass of milk on the tray and she also prepared the chicken soto in the bowl for her daughter's breakfast. Laura walked with a tray to the Moon's room. On top of the Moon mattress sat selonjoran daydreaming while gently rubbing his large stomach. I don't know what's on her daughter's mind at the moment because Laura lately often caught Moon daydreaming alone makes Laura worried.

The woman's soft hand rubbing the mane of her daughter's hair made the screeching Moon startled from her daydream. "Ma, mama." The moon smiled at her sweet smile as she saw Laura sitting in front of her.

"Bring you breakfast, eat a quick cold hunt." Said Laura thrusting a bowl of soto chicken in front of her daughter. The fragrant smell of fried bring greet the Moon's sense of smell makes his stomach instantly churn hungry.

The moon looks happy. "Mama's photo?" Ask enthusiastically.

Laura smiled at me. "Yes dear." The reply looked at the princess just her wayang.

"It sure tastes good." He said while devouring soto chicken that is still warm. True soto chicken made by his mother is always delicious, the Moon really likes it.

Laura looked at her daughter. "Darling to eat slowly." Said Laura, her daughter's body looks frail makes Laura feel sad. Let alone looking at how to eat the Moon like a person who has never eaten for a year.

Laura suspects that Alvaro may not be providing good nutritional needs for the Moon, even though her daughter is pregnant. Just because he suspected that the fetus in the Moon womb was the illegitimate child of another man made Alvaro abandon his daughter.

It's true, the Moon in Alvaro's apartment rarely eats because when the young man is busy working sometimes Alvaro forgets to provide food. The moon is held captive in her room, so that the Moon can not go out to just go to the kitchen to cook. Alvaro did not visit his apartment every day, even the Moon all day even up to 2 days did not eat because the young man forgot. The Moon is sadistic, Alvaro treats it sadistically.

Ting.tung.

The bell of the house rang making the Moon look up at his mother. Laura stood up immediately. "You'll open the door, you'll finish your food." His words were reciprocated obedient nod by the Moon.

Laura walked out of the Moon's room, she headed to the main room wondering who the person she was visiting was. Laura opened the door, surprised as a tall young man loomed in the doorway of her house. Laura's right hand was clenched tightly, her chest rumbling to the face of her daughter-in-law who dared to appear before her after the young man had done such a heinous thing to her daughter.

Alvaro rolled his gaze into the house as if looking for someone, he believed that the Moon was here. His father Moon is currently overseas, Alvaro is increasingly convinced that Moon is taking advantage of this situation to escape home to his parents. The wound he had incised on his stomach had not dried up, but Alvaro took the time to hope to meet his first wife. I hope the moon doesn't tell her mama.

Laura looked at her daughter-in-law, she held back her emotions trying to be calm in front of Alvaro. "What are you coming to my house for?" Laura asked with the point, she did not want to make any pleasantries to her daughter-in-law. Even Laura refused to allow Alvaro to enter her house, even if just sitting in a chair.

The young man could feel a cold aura emanating from his in-laws. "I want to pick up Moon ma."

PLAQUES

The hard slap Laura lay on Alvaro's right cheek made the young man a little surprised by his in-laws response. Alvaro was silent, for him this slap was not much pain for him. Until here Alvaro understood that the Moon had revealed its ugliness to Laura. The young man did not feel the slightest guilt, for him his actions were correct. Although in the view of others his behavior to the Moon was cruel, but for him it was the right punishment for women who like to cheat like the Moon.

"Pick up my daughter?" Laura smiled looking down on Alvaro in front of her. "You want to pick up my daughter to torture herself again huh?!" Said Laura growling furiously, visible on her wrinkled face that stiffened carried away with emotion.

"I won't let you take my daughter away." Absolutely Laura.

"The moon must have complained to Mom. Believe me, all the bad things about me that the Moon told me are not true." Kilah Alvaro defended himself, trying to convince his in-laws to keep siding with him. Laura is not a fool, Alvaro is good at tongue-licking and manipulative.

"How can I trust you Al, after I saw my daughter's condition that night she came home in a state of fear. His cheeks were blue, his entire body was covered with bruises and even he was traumatized by the violence he was experiencing. Is it after I see it all, I'll still trust you?" Laura asked as if she showed evidence that Alvaro's abusive behavior had gone too far. "If I keep believing in you, I'm a blind and stupid man."

"Ma, I'm just giving him a punishment because mama's beloved daughter has secretly been as close as any other man." Alvaro said. If Moon complained about her bad actions to Laura, Alvaro would also open the Moon's disgrace in front of her mother.

"Why would he cheat?" Laura asked staring fiercely at Alvaro. "You should be reflecting on yourself. You impregnated his sister Bulan and you even married that cunning actor. Where's my daughter's fault? If he is looking for a man who can make him comfortable while your marital status is still going on it is the right action. Fair right?"

Alvaro's jaw was churning, his ears were hot to hear the ravings of Laura who had deliberately cornered him. Although he did wish for the Moon but he was not willing if the Moon was together with other men.

"Say Al, do you love the Moon?" Laura asked again demanding an answer from her daughter-in-law. Alvaro was only silent reluctant to answer questions from his mother-in-law. "You never loved my daughter, you just wanted her body not her heart." Laura said as if understanding with the contents of Alvaro's mind.

"In your heart there is only anger for my daughter because of the completely unproven allegations. You defamed him for cheating and even insulted my grandson who was in the Moon instead of your flesh and blood. Where's proof? If you have proof show me." Challenge Laura while warming her chin high so Alvaro knows that she cannot be underestimated.

"Listen Al, it is not you who have the power to punish the Moon, but I myself as his birth mother who has the right to punish the Moon if my daughter is proven to have done something wrong." Firmly Laura stared hard at Alvaro, she said like this so that Alvaro understood where his position was. Although Alvaro was her husband, the Moon's full rights remained with Laura.

"If you hate the Moon, you should have sent her back to her parents' house. Don't torture my daughter like this Al, your mother's heart aches knowing the Moon suffers life with you." Laura's tears fell in her cheeks, she immediately wiped them.

"The moon is my wife ma, as a husband I am more entitled to the Moon. I'll keep taking him with me." Alvaro doesn't want to lose to Laura. Lest he go home empty-handed, Alvaro expects the Moon to return.

Laura was astonished by Alvaro's stubbornness, as if the young man wanted to rule his daughter's life. "Just because you're best as my daughter's husband so you want to control the Moon." He crossed his arms in front of his chest while smiling cynically. "You have no power over my daughter because soon you'll be apart."

Alvaro glared, Laura instead supported their separation. The young man felt threatened his marriage with the Moon would run aground. No, Alvaro still wants to keep him.

"No need to wait for my granddaughter to be born, your divorce trial will take place as soon as possible. Your divorce papers are awaiting your signature."

Deg

Alvaro was momentarily stunned by her in-laws, she did not stop to think about the intervention from Laura so far. "Go home, your young wife is waiting for you at home. No need to worry, Moon will be fine together with her mother."

Brakes

Laura closed the door of her house, she clenched her hands tightly. From earlier he held back his emotions really felt he could not stand. Laura used to be proud of her daughter-in-law. Alvaro is a successful young man and the Bramasta family knows the Mahendra family for a long time, even Moon and Alvaro were friends since childhood. Laura thought that marrying Moon to the young man would make her daughter happy, but that was not the case.

Huh, Laura sighed. Their separation is the only way to solve this problem. Laura walked towards the Moon's room but her steps came to a halt as she saw the Moon standing behind the living room wall. "Dear you're here?" Laura was surprised that the Moon came out of her room. Must have been Moon peeking at his conversation together with Alvaro.

The moon looked down, Laura could see the look of her daughter's unease. "Al-Alvaro, that was Alvaro?" Tweet asked.

Laura walked up to her daughter, she gently rubbed the mane of the Moon's hair. "You see, your husband is alive. He's not hurt at all, so you don't have to worry." Laura said in a nod by the Moon.

On the other hand, Alvaro was in his car. She repeatedly cursed upset, her in-laws kicked her out and even Laura did not let her into her house. How did he take the Moon back? Laura currently hates him, but her in-laws have always supported her and even Laura helped her to maintain their marriage relationship. Damnit damnit! Alvaro does not want to divorce from the Moon.

Seriate...
