Let go of me
Survive for Mom
CHAPTER 2
Survive For Mother
The day changed without me knowing, today even a month long marriage between us both. As long as nothing had changed between us, I was still the same as I was when I first stepped on my feet in this luxurious mansion a month ago.
We still sleep apart, every day I do my activities at home. After that I went to work. I always come back before office hours are over, and definitely before Mas Asrul gets home. All that I did so that I could still finish the housework again before Mas Asrul returned.
For a month I tried my best to be a good wife, even though everything I did was never once appreciated by her. One more stupid thing I do, I often wait for her to come home every day, just ask her how she is, she said, I knew for a fact that all my attention would never matter to him at all.
Just like tonight, I was very restless waiting for his arrival. He usually returns at 5 pm, but it is already 9 pm but Mas Asrul has not yet shown a sign of going home.
I still wait for it even though the drowsiness has started to attack. Not long after my wait bore sweet fruit, behind the door appeared the figure of a man who lately always makes me wait.
" Just came home ?. "I'm spontaneous, yeah maybe because I'm too worried about her.
" Want to take a shower or eat first. I made you a drink....!. "
I tried to give my full attention to him, but as usual I only get silence.
" Em, where have you been...?. " Task me again, who actually just wants to hear his voice.
" Stop.....!. " Snapp her to me
" I don't need fake attention from you, you don't have to pretend to be nice to me. " His words sounded cynical in my ears.
" But Mas, I've cooked for you and today the cuisine is special, it's possible that Mas is hungry, I prepared it first...! "
" I ate outside...! His answer sounded sniffy.
God, it hurts so much to hear his answer. Being a wife tired of cooking for her husband, hoping to be enjoyed by the husband. But if the answer is like that, it will hurt.
Although it hurts but I still try to look tough in front of him.
" Oh, that's it then ". I still say with a smile.
I looked at the back of the man who had made the sacred promise to me, until it was lost behind the door.
I did the same thing, went into the room. In my room I contemplated all the troubles that were running through my household, a household that was like a nightmare to me.
" O God Ma'am, is this really the soul mate that Mother gave me, who she said was kind, responsible. He doesn't want me Mom....! My mind whimpers.
After everything was done, I rushed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for my husband. She was so relieved that the end of my job this morning was done.
" Well....! " Call me who sees her coming down the stairs in neat clothes and tote a bag in her hand.
" We had breakfast together...! I made you some fried rice." I said kindly to him.
" No... ! " The answer is short.
" But Mas, Mas must have breakfast first, so as not to catch a cold and get sick from working on an empty stomach. " My words gave him understanding.
" No need...! Do you not understand Indonesian ? do I need to teach first. I've told you over and over again, you don't have to be so considerate of me. Since I don't need it, just take care of yourself and stop bothering me. "
joan....!
My heart slipped to hear his words, while he immediately left after finishing his words that were so painful to me.
" One more thing, you don't have to wait for me if I come home late. Because my mood gets bad every time I see that hypocritical face of yours. " Take a look without looking at me one bit.
My tears just flowed along with her departure. I took a deep breath to reduce the tightness in my heart, rather than the prolonged heartache I decided to go to work, because by working I could forget a little bit of the problems that befell my household.
The good news is that even though he seems cruel, Mas Asrul never forbade me to continue working, so I was a little entertained when I met my coworkers at the office
In the taxi, I thought about telling Mom everything about how my household is doing right now. About how the nature of the man that Mom betrothed me, but again I don't have the courage to do that, I don't want you to be sad to know that this new household of corn is in trouble.
" Mom, if only I knew that this man of my choice didn't treat me well. Ah....would you still force me to continue all this. But I'm sure you'll be sad and sorry for setting me up with the wrong person. " That's what I had in mind.
" No....! You can't know the problem that's happening to me right now. It's enough for me to burden her all this time by being the only parent for me, not to mention that this time Mother has also started to get sick. I must remain patient and maintain this household for the sake of Mother, hopefully with my patience this will bear sweet fruit in front of her "My inner hope.
My greatest hope right now is to just want my husband to see my sincerity, my attention and appreciate everything I do. Probably assuming my presence is in this house. If you hope love from her it may be very impossible, even though the heart also wants to be a legitimate wife in the eyes of religion and law.
