Let me Love Her Mother
Arriving at the Destination Place

Along the way Lidya told a lot of stories, Liam was just a good listener. Lidya turned out to be very friendly and supple. Her father could be comfortable with her. He is good at melting the atmosphere and making people comfortable when with him.

He told me about Renata and Rio's childhood. Lidya looks very enthusiastic about telling it.

Suddenly Liam was interested in something.

"How did you get to know Papa?" Ask Liam. Lidya looked at Liam. There was a smile on his face, after thinking for a while. He also began to tell her.

"At first I just wanted to run away. Renata's father and I got married because of an arranged marriage, there was no love between us. Even so, our marriage lasted for a dozen years. Throughout our captivity, I often tried to leave. But always forced to return. Because I have nowhere to go, I always come back. Renata's father's rude habits really made me unable to bear it. Many times I complained, but no one seemed to care. On the grounds that he was an established man that there was no way I could be able to do it again later. Although he was rude, Renata's father never betrayed me. He's loyal and if it's money matters, I get his over. It's just that his temperament is so bad, it's what makes me not bear to want to leave" Lidya said. Liam is still faithfully listening to her. "Until one day Renata's father's business is troubled. Every effort he makes, but I don't care. He tried hard to fight for his business and in the midst of our difficult economy, I still fiddled as usual. Everyone cornered me, I couldn't stand it and decided to leave. I haven't been able to leave yet. Suddenly he fell unconscious. I got a chance to go. I brought all the contents of the safe as well as my passport. I brought everything without caring for him who was dying in front of me. I was just thinking about myself at that moment. I just want to be free, that's all I think about. That's when I met your father. We are both 2 people who feel they do not appreciate a partner. We became very easy to get close to, because of the same background of our problems. As our relationship grew closer, your mother came back and she began to want to improve her relationship with your father. Of course I didn't accept it, she came and easily said I ruined her household. He himself ruined it. I just pick up what he's throwing away. Finally I thought, I can't possibly win against Anin, I asked to meet with your father. That's when I planned it all. I just wanted to teach your mother a lesson so she wouldn't want to. I just spread it to Anin, you and your brother, but it seems to spread when your mother tells it to someone else. It first spread from mouth to mouth. It all ended up being so messed up. It was the first time I lost my husband. At that moment, I realized that he was a good man to me. Although he was rude, but he never betrayed me, he also gave me a proper end. I was too busy thinking about myself at the time, until I was blind to her love. I began to regret and live on the run" Anin recalls. Liam just fell silent to hear the story while continuing to drive. "I'm also very sorry I did that to your family. After all, your father was the most gentle man I've ever met. That's why I like him so much. He looks like you, very good to anyone. Even with someone like me, you still want to accept it" Lidya said sincerely. Liam just smiled faintly. It didn't feel like it was getting any more daytime, and they started to feel hungry.

"We'll have lunch first!" bring Liam. Lidya agreed. They ate at one of the simple rice stalls on the side of the road.

Lidya looked at Liam who was sitting before her now. They are like a mother and child together. Liam who was conscious in the face was staring at the difference Lidya.

"Have you called, Renata?" ask Lidya.

"No, wait for me to call first" said Liam then moved from his position and immediately called Renata.

Lidya looked at Liam's back as he walked for distance to call.

"He's a good man. It's okay, I'll go. May God always take care of what you fight for, son. Thank you for taking care of my daughter so tenaciously even though she doesn't seem to understand that she's being fought by such a nice guy" Lidya murmured.

Not long after their order arrived. Liam's still calling. Looks like he's in the middle of a video call with his wife's son. The waiters had already started serving their food.

"Well that, buk?" asked one of the waiters who was busy serving in the middle of their busy busy serving food at Lidya's table.

"Yes, my son-in-law. Wh why? handsome, huh? yes, my son is lucky to get a man as good and handsome as him," Lidya said in a joking tone. It made them both chuckle.

"Is Aiden not fussy?" tanya Lidya melted the atmosphere.

"No. At home there is also Lusi. Lusi will probably stay with Renata. There was also Aunt Ana coming" Liam said with a smile. Lidya replied with a smile.

Furthermore they were busy with their food without much of a conversation.

Finish their meal and immediately continue their journey.

After a few hours of travel they finally reached a pretty beautiful village. The cold began to feel. Liam immediately put on his jacket.

"I was here a few years ago. I was worried about going home or going again. I finally decided to leave, because I was embarrassed to go home" Lidya explained. Liam looked at him, Liam felt that now Lidya was in deep regret. From all his stories he is heard not looking for his justification. It indicates that he wants to be forgiven.

"Sorry, yes!" muttered Liam suddenly.

"For what?" tanya Lidya did not understand.

"I feel like I'm going to kick you out" said Liam, feeling guilty.

"No, I should be thanking you. You've given me permission to meet my grandchildren and children, even now to take me to pay off my debts and pay them. You're a good person," The smile was etched beautifully on Lidya's face, as if the burden that had been on her shoulder had been slightly reduced.

On the other hand without Liam knowing, Anin is preparing for his surprise return. He was cleaning up all his belongings preparing to return to Indonesia.

"Grandmother is missing Aiden, baby," Anin muttered in her hotel room, staring at Aiden's portrait on her phone screen.

SERIATE...
