"Ma, pa, can we talk again about your plans?. Ay doesn't agree with all this, Ay doesn't want to be a cowardly husband. Ay has to find Rachel and fix our relationship".
The man opened his voice shortly after they entered the car. Anna glared spoiled then patted her child's thigh gently.
"Well, did you see how she likes you?. Marrying him won't cost you anything, baby. In fact, you'll be very lucky".
Kim who was sitting in the front seat also chimed in, he glanced at the young man from the rearview mirror of the car.
"Yes Ay, the family of Mr. Elijah is the owner of the second largest company after your grandfather. Papa can confirm that all their possessions will fall into our hands after you marry that girl".
Kim smiled, the middle-aged man's face looked extremely happy.
"That girl is crazy about you, papa and mama can see that. So try to be nice to her. It's all for the sake of our families, for the sake of your happiness as well".
Ayud turned his face away and looked at the desolate streets that night with pus. Her chest feels tight, though,
"You will never understand what my happiness really is. Until at any time, you will never understand what true love is, your mind is just filled with treasure".
Anna chuckled softly, the middle-aged woman gazed gently at her son.
"Honey, what does it mean to be happy without having a lot of money?. With money, everything can be bought. Including, the happiness you dreamt of so much. Money makes everything possible baby, keep it".
The man wanted to answer, but Kim interrupted.
"Don't be b*doh Ay because of your unrequited love. Never mind, don't think about that selfless girl. Just forget him, erase everything about him from your mind. Remove it to its roots".
The young man was speechless, he felt too tired to argue at this moment. From then on, his mind was filled with the shadow of the wife. He missed that girl very much.
However, the fact that the girl had left him further aggravated the sense of tightness that was now whacking the young man. He was unceasingly breathing heavily.
...Ayud...
I'm really lazy to argue about anything right now. I'm too tired to do such a pointless thing. Mama kept talking about the girl, I kept quiet until we got home.
Every time I open my mouth, I'm wrong again and again. So, I better just shut up and let my parents argue. Ah, again about the s*alan treasure. I sighed and took a deep breath.
God, I really miss Rachel. I miss everything about him, everything. Where is he now and what is he doing?.
To me, she's the only woman who's ever made me believe in love. I even desperately struggled to shake off my old habits, all for her sake.
Even now, our relationship cannot be said to be okay. At least, I still strongly believe all of this can still be fixed. I promise to forgive my mistakes, I promise.
I really don't have any thoughts of looking for a replacement. Never once did that cross my mind. Although I know for sure, my parents forced me to remarry, I can't do that.
I stare at our wedding pictures in my HP. That little girl looks so beautiful. Her smile is so sweet, I miss her so much.
I wanted to hug her body like I always do. But, that's impossible. He's not here right now, and that fact makes my tears fall. It hurts a lot, misses people you can't have.
I put my tired body on this cold bed, staring at my wife's picture. If only he knew, right now I miss him terribly. If only he had realized how much I loved him.
My daydream broke just after my phone rang. I immediately grabbed the tiny thing, and saw an unknown number there. Maybe this is my wife, my inner hope.
I put the tiny thing in my ear, hoping the voice across there was someone I knew.
"Hello, good night big brother. Resti misses once, can't Resti phone?".
I'm not worried, it's not my wife. This woman feels really self-destructive, I would love to scold her harshly. I don't know where he got my contact.
"What's up?",
I asked in a flat voice as possible. With this attitude of mine, I want him to realize that I am not interested in him at all.
"Sister, Resti has asked papa mama to speed up our marriage. Resti is really impatient, Resti wants to marry big brother".
What, married she said?. Well, I'm so sick of hearing this girl's empty babble. Is she really a woman?. How shameless he is. I sighed, very upset.
"Who said I wanted to marry you?. Didn't I tell you clearly, you're not my taste at all. Better yet, you're looking for someone who's your age. I'm really not interested in you".
The woman chuckled, her voice sounding very mischievous. If I hadn't changed, I'd be pretty sure this woman wouldn't have survived. Because according to my true nature, I rarely let a woman like this be unemployed.
"Ah sister, do not be smart to sell expensive that way. Papa Mama said, they will invest funds into the sister company in a big way, if you marry Resti".
The woman continued her words, her voice sighing. How fed up I am with this woman. Perhaps, he was not aware of playing with crocodiles. Only, this crocodile has been treated. Very lucky for him.
I rubbed my face violently, this conversation felt like a complete waste of my time. This woman, really looks like she's blatantly luring me. I was frustrated, though,
"Once you go, I'm going to bed. Good night and don't call me again. I'm not gonna be able to make sure you're gonna be okay if you keep doing things like this".
I hung up the phone and threw my HP onto the table. Really exhausting day.
...Ayud POV End's...
Resti snorted annoyed, he approached his parents who were watching television. The girl whined spoiled at the mother.
"Ma, Brother Ayud does not seem to like Resti. Resti was really upset by his attitude. Resti wants him to belong to Resti ma, anyway must".
Rini's mother gently stroked the girl's hair, she said,
"Dear, soon he'll be yours. They are also in trouble right now, right?. Jeng Anna is a double eye, she will definitely marry you soon".
The girl smiled, she spread her head on the middle-aged woman's thigh.
"Thank you ma'am, Resti dear mama".
Bu Rini hugged the child while continuing to focus on watching television.
Meanwhile..
Anna knocks on Ayud's door and calls out the man's name. Ayud who was daydreaming gasped in surprise, he walked over to open the door.
"Yes ma, what's wrong?.
Anna smiled, she looked gently at the son.
"May you come in Ay?, you have something to tell you".
The man nodded, and replied slowly.
"Yes ma, just come in".
Anna walked gracefully and sat down as she crossed her legs on the man's bed.
"Ay, sit here next to Mama".
The middle-aged woman patted the mattress softly beside her. The man sighed, then sat down next to his mother.
"What's up, Mama, Ay's gonna take a break".
Anna stroked Ayud's hand, slowly,
"Well, you love mom, right?. I want my mom to be happy, right?".
Ayud looked at the woman,
"Of course, ma, what's wrong?".
Anna nodded,
"Mama's very grateful you allowed mom and dad to stay here baby. I'm also grateful that you've forgiven all of our past mistakes".
The middle-aged woman made her face look sad.
"But baby, you know now we have nothing. All of Grandpa's treasures are in your name. What's more, now that your grandfather's company is in financial trouble right?. Marry me with my dear Resti".
Ayud sighed, he wanted to argue. However, Anna started crying sobbing.
"Ay, mama knows it's hard for Ay to do this. But, this is all for the sake of your late grandfather, for the sake of our survival dear. Please think again, baby".
Anna gently stroked her son's cheek, then left the man alone there. Ayud threw himself down violently and rubbed his face. The man looked very frustrated.
