I'm Yours, Not His
Chapter 26

Marsel takes Nadira to his house. And when the two got there, Rudian and Darita were looking at the two of them with eyes that Nadira could not understand. But what makes Nadira more surprised, when he saw a man who was so familiar standing right in front of them both.

"Oh my God, what other trials are these. Why is this guy here?".

PLLLAAKKKP...

Without Nadira noticing, one slap landed on his right cheek and the slap came from his mother Marsel's Darita. Then Nadira touched her cheeks while looking at the two people with teary eyes.

"Basar women don't know themselves! Now what do you mean come to this house haahh? What do you mean? Don't you realize you're just a maid?".

"Stop mah" replied Marsel holding his mother's wrist as Darita was about to slap the cheek back. "I wouldn't care if my mom was angry with him. She will still be my wife, so I beg you to please respect my decision and accept her as your daughter-in-law".

"What?"Darita laughed mockingly. "You said you accepted her as your mother's daughter-in-law? You think mama's gone mad, Marsel? You think mama's not sane anymore?".

"Please... Please mah... Please don't be childish like this. Why the hell did you have to insist on rejecting him as your daughter-in-law? What was the job of being a maid in Herlambang's house?".

"Yes, mama doesn't like him because she has dared to seize your favorite son. And now she's hoping that mom will accept her as mom's daughter-in-law? Haasha.. Haha... Until the apocalypse even mama Marsel will not be able to accept him. Remember that!" Darita then left them until only the three of them were left there. After that Rudian followed his wife.

"Are you okay?" Marsel asked pulling Nadira's shoulder towards him. "I'm sorry, if my mom's being rude like that. But I'm sure that someday he'll be able to accept you. Now you just need to be patient and try to get closer to him. Youunderstand?".

Nadira wiped away her tears, "No! I can't live like this and live in this house until your mother can accept me. Sorry, I really can't".

"No, you can. You can definitely do things like I told you to" Marsel tried to calm Nadira down. "Now wipe away your tears, don't cry like that. If you're still crying, it means you're a weak woman".

Nadira stared at both beads of Marsel's eyes.

"What is the purpose of marrying me? I've apologized to you for the mistake I made with Miss Keysa and you also know that Miss Keysa is now feeling for you. Butwhy? But why should you torture me like this.. Is this a punishment for me? Aren't you satisfied to see me hurt like this? Please tell me the truth".

"Color I love you".

Dengs!

Nadira did not believe, "No way! No way! I must have misheard and you must have spoken those words".

"No Dira, I'm telling you the truth that I love you. And I don't know since when that feeling came up, but I'm here to really love you Nadira".

Then Nadira shed those tears back, because somehow, he is not worthy of Marsel, he said, she really doesn't deserve him because she knows that she's not a good woman like the woman out there that Marsel knows.

Marsel then took Nadira into his arms, "Don't say that, I promise to make you...

Nadira suddenly pushed Marsel's body apart from his embrace.

"Stop all this! Please stop this from now on. I can't, I can't do this, plus both of your parents don't like my presence at home. So please stop this from now on before you regret it".

"I know what you're feeling right now. I can feel it too, but didn't I tell you that everything would be fine as time went on? And now that I ask you for help, please don't cry and hang on for a while".

"Can't hix.. I can't".

"What can't be done? Why cheat me you can while holding on for a while you can't?".

Nadira was silent, but the tears were constantly flowing from both of Nadira's eyeballs.

"Stop crying, it will make you weaker. Come on, I'll take you to the room".

And without both of them knowing it, from there, Rudian was watching them with a chest tightened by the presence of Nadira in the house suddenly which made Rudian could not say anything else but angry with himself.

Then Marsel helped Nadira lay her body on the bed.

"Now go to sleep, tomorrow morning everything will pass" Nadira closed her eyes, after which Marsel left her in the room. Until a few minutes later, Nadira heard someone open the door of the room, and he immediately guessed that the person who had just opened the door was Darita Marsel's mother. But when he opened the door, the person he saw was not Marsel's mother, but Rudian who entered his room with tears streaming down his cheeks.

"What are you doing in my house, Dira? W-why do you know my son? And...

Nadira nodded his head.

"Why can you do this to me Dira? Why should you punish me like this? Why do you have to do this to me Dira?".

"I'm sorry" replied Nadira apologizing to him. "I also don't know why this should all happen to me? I wouldn't have thought that my life's journey would be like this? I don't want any of this either, I don't want any of this" Nadira cried again.

"And just so you know, I've done everything in my power and effort to disappear from you. Butwhat? I met you again and now... And now your own son wants to marry me. Aarrkkhhh, my God, why do you have to torture me like this? What suffering is this God? When are you going to torture me again?".

Rudian then walked over to her and tried to touch her hand. But Nadira instead stayed away and it made Rudian feel even more crowded.

"Don't leave me Dira, I can't live without you".
