LET ME BE HAPPY
chapter 37

Intan got off the car he was driving. He stepped in with a big smile with a paper bag in his hand. He must have gone to his son's apartment.

"Surely Adinda will be very happy with the gift I will give her. I should have given this gift from yesterday, but because it has become a habit every year to always give a greeting and a late gift, so now I forget that Mila is gone. Mila, I miss you," Intan said as she continued to move on.

Intan presses the bell at Devin's apartment, but no one opens the door for him. Again he pressed it back, but nil, still no response from the apartment residents.

Drrtt...

Intan's phone rang in her bag. Immediately he reached into a rectangular flat object that constantly sounded nonstop.

"Papa was very upset with Mama. Not an hour later, Papa's been nelfonin Mama," Intan said confidently when the call was connected.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma," cried Bima.

"Vaalaikumsalam, Pa. Sorry to forget," replied Intan.

"What's up in Devin's apartment?" ask Bima.

"It's only up to Pa, but Mama has been picking the bell repeatedly still no one wants to open the door Mama," Intan told her husband.

"Mama went straight in. Papa's feeling was not calm from earlier. Papa thinks of our son and daughter-in-law. Hopefully they are okay," Bima hoped.

"Yes, Pa," replied Intan.

Intan ended the phone call. Then he began to press the numbers that he had memorized outside his head. The apartment door was open. Gegas Intan went inside.

"Astagfirullah, Devin!" scream Intan from the doorway of the open room.

He came to the son who was sitting leaning on the edge of the bed with an empty look. His appearance is so disheveled. He carried Devin into his arms, making Devin again shed tears that had subsided.

"Ma, she went to leave Devin Ma," raced Devin between her sobs.

Intan can only be silent because he does not know what happened. On his swipe the steadfast back of the son shook. At his scan the son's room looked very messy. Instantly the net was fixed on a dried-up red trail on the bed. The woman's dress that was torn on the floor also did not escape his attention.

"Oh my God, what's really going on here? Who does Devin mean to have left him?" inner Intan.

Intan broke her embrace after feeling that Devin's crying had begun to subside. He immediately interrogated the son. He doesn't want to just keep guessing.

"Honey, try to tell me what is going on with Mama," persuaded Intan.

"What do you mean Dev? Try to say it clearly so your mama understands," said Intan.

"Adinda Ma, Adinda goes ninggalin Devin, hyks hyks." The tears spilled back by themselves.

"Oh my God, Dev. What really happened between you?" ask Intan.

"Devin has already confirmed*s*Adinda, Ma," replied Devin.

"What do you mean? Isn't she your wife?" tanya Intan did not understand.

"Maafin Devin Ma's. Actually Devin and Adinda are not really serious about this marriage. There was black on top of white tying between us. Yesterday Devin treated Adinda vilely as a result of the drug per*ngs*ng which Liona put in Devin drink. Even this hand has hurt him, Ma." explains Devin.

"Oh my God, Dev. What have you done? Didn't Mama forbid you to no longer be in contact with them? So what do you mean by black on white? Did you guys marry a contract? Mama knows very well Dev that Adinda loves you so much. You have disappointed Mama Dev," Intan growled.

Devin put his head in the lap of the mother. He was crying again. He cursed his stupidity that belatedly realized that he also loved his wife. He also regretted his actions that ended up making his mother disappointed.

"Sorry Devin Ma." Devin incessantly apologized to Intan, he felt very guilty.

"Find your wife see you. He's just got us, honey." Intan stroked the head of the son who was in his lap.

"He went with his father, Ma. Turns out Fathan's father is alive. Yesterday, Devin had seen Adinda smiling happily with another man. The man said**m the back of Adinda's hand many times. Even the man dared to hug Adinda in public. Devin is jealous of Ma, not knowing that the man is Devin's father-in-law. Devin treats Adinda harshly, Ma. Even the necklace given by Fathan's father, Devin, pulled by force so that it was scattered on the floor. Under the influence of the drug, Devin forces Adinda to serve Devin without caring about the pain Devin's wife is experiencing" Devin said.

Intan smothered his mouth in disbelief. Intan was not able to hold back her cries. Hearing what the son had done to his wife, made him feel guilty as well. As a woman, Intan could feel how deep the wounds her son had inflicted.

"Do you want to know, what is the reason that makes Mama and also papa forbid you not to connect with their families?" tanya Intan who was only nodded by Devin.

"Actually, mother Mila used to be almost married to Danu, but the marriage was canceled before the ijab qobul event was held. The arrival of Mirna who claimed to be two-bodied at that time and very clearly said that the father of the baby she contained was the son of Danu, making Mother Mila hysterical and unconscious."

"Mama was devastated to learn the fact that her best friend had canceled marriage because of a betrayal. Mama had a contraction at the time and had to give birth to you by caesarean. Mama can't have any more children because Mama's womb is too weak."

"Mama fought very hard to defend you even though Mama's womb was very weak. Mama almost lost you because of that. Luckily, God was still kind to Mom and Dad, so we had a chance to be parents. That is why we forbid you to no longer have any relationship with them" Intan explained at length.

Devin's cry broke even more. It turned out that deep he made his mother disappointed. If he had known from the start, maybe none of that would have happened. His obsession to make Liona his makes him have to lose a lot of things.

If the mother finds out that Liona is nothing more than a woman j*l*ng, maybe now Intan will lecture him at length. Devin regretted, truly sorry to have thrown away the gem after the pebble.

"I'm sorry, Din. Where am I supposed to look for you? I just realized that I'm so fragile without you. Please, come back to me. I'm gonna fix everything. Forgive all my filth and my fault for making you go."
