Let me Love Her Mother

Let me Love Her Mother
The Best is Not the Worst


Liam sleeps in the room alone because Renata is busy accompanying her sick mother in the next room. While Anin has gone home to her residence. Now lives Liam and Renata who seem to be involved in the cold war. They don't greet each other. Renata did not even greet Liam at all.


In the middle of the night Liam started to feel pain in his stomach. He forgot he hadn't eaten since noon. Maybe his stomach is starting to recur. He immediately took the liquid medicine in place of the medicine box in the closet that Liam always prepared for this situation.


Finished taking the medicine for a while. Liam still felt pain in his stomach. Liam started to urinate in his sleep, he was not at all comfortable with his condition. He soon went down to eat, even though there was no taste at all. Maybe because he was also stressed with the problems that made him lose his appetite.


When he came out of Renata's room to see Liam coming down to the kitchen, Renata was lazy to care about Liam. She is busy taking care of her mother and Aiden, she is also planning to go with her mother tomorrow.


'I don't want to lose my mother again, Liam. You want to keep your mother? Me either. I can't let my mom go throw herself away as you wish, ' Inner Renata while continuing to stack her and Aiden's belongings into a suitcase.


Liam is still unaware of Renata's plans


...***...


Anin did not go home, but she went to Ana's house. At Ana's house, Anin tells her everything. Ana smiled when she heard Anin's story.


"Mbak, I've already. Liam has married Renata and they have Aiden. If you're stubborn and all stubborn, Liam's household is a mess and Aiden is abandoned. Renata was very dependent on Liam. If Liam leaves him, Aiden will hang out with Renata. Renata's a lot of his dependents. His grandmother, his sister, now his mother. It's okay if indeed he had to Liam give up a little first," advice Ana wise.


Anin answered nothing. He was silent with his eyes blankly leaning against the sofa. Ana rubbed her sister's shoulder.


"Sir, come make peace with your past mbak," said Ana gently.


"So, An. I feel betrayed by Liam and Renata. I feel that Mauren is struggling with me now" said Anin, who unknowingly shed tears and immediately wiped her off.


Still ringing in his memory how Mauren grinned with a triumphant smile while at the police station at that time. Anin was so sick of seeing it back then.

In his room Liam began not to stand with his stomach. He even vomited a few times. He couldn't sleep because of that. But Renata doesn't realize that she's busy with her planned departure with her mother.


Liam started to limp. After a night of not being able to sleep, Liam finally fell asleep in the morning. Until Liam is unaware of Renata's departure, Aiden and his in-laws. He was already too tired from being unable to sleep all night.


Renata stared in annoyance at Liam who looked engrossed in sleep with a snuggled position inside the blanket. Renata does not realize that Liam is also in a state of pain. Liam was asleep in a bad state.


"I went to take Mama home to where grandma used to be," said Renata ala perfunctory. Renata looked at Liam who was still sleeping. There was no reaction from Liam. He was still engrossed in his sleep and dreams. It makes Renata become upset at feeling ignored by her mother Liam's sick state as if she doesn't care about her and her mother's circumstances. Renata bent her face in annoyance then violently slammed her suitcase and dragged it. He left immediately, pulling his suitcase.


Without Renata noticing, Liam awakens but is too weak to call Renata back. Until he just stared after Renata's departure. Because suddenly Liam again felt pain in his stomach.


"You told Liam that you wanted to go?" asked Lidya who was surprised to see Liam did not come down.


"Udah. But he was just. Go on, Mah. Let her be, " said Renata coldly.


Without Liam knowing last night Anin had cursed Renata with hurtful words. It was also what made Renata determined to leave Liam. He would have gone far away from Liam if indeed his presence and his mother made a mess in the Liam family.


'Thank you for all your sincere love, Li. You're the nicest man I've ever known. I won't burden you with hard choices. You'll get a better person than me, ' Inner Renata is heavy. Obviously he is not sincere with his decision at the moment. But staying here with Liam will also create debate and hostility for Liam and his mother. He didn't want to make things difficult for Liam with that.


Liam's mother's words to him were clear enough last night, if she didn't want Renata and Aiden to be part of her family again. Liam also seems to be getting tired of this drama. From earlier even until now Liam still did not wake up as if deliberately avoiding him.


Renata and her mother with Aiden leave. Renata closed the door. Once again gazing towards his room, it was as if his little heart was doubting his current decision but his mind was saying the opposite. Renata closed his eyes and walked away.


'I just want to protect everything, Li. I can't let my mom go. If you're calm, you know where to look for me, right?! Me and Aiden will be waiting for you, Inner Renata again. Then continue his journey.


"Anin is so, you should not be too careful. She just wants Mama gone, everything will be fine if Mama leaves. Liam's an only child, he won't want to lose Aiden. You go with Liam. My mom was satisfied with everything I got. Mama's really okay, Re," persuaded her mother again.


"It's okay, Ma. Mama who needs Rere more now," said Renata then stepped with a steady heart even though Lidya looks still heavy to see Renata go without saying goodbye like this.

On the other hand, Liam had only woken up after a whole night of being unable to sleep. He felt a pain in his throat. Maybe his condition is not good either. Nausea and pain in his stomach increasingly felt, Liam also ran to the bathroom. He vomited again and it made his throat more sore and his heart also felt sore. To reduce the bad taste in his mouth he brushed his teeth and gargled with a mouthwash, but it only helped him a little. The matter is still felt.


Liam comes out of the bathroom and is still unaware of Renata and Aiden's departure. He's back lying down. For a moment he realized. His house was too quiet. Very quiet and empty.


'empty?!' Liam seemed to wake up. He forced to get up and look around,


'Where are Aiden's things?' yells batin. He also opened the closet.


'Renata's clothes?!'


Liam came out and for a moment he forgot his pain.


'ooh ... No, you guys are leaving. You go ..., ' Inner Liam with a pushy look now he can no longer hold it. Liam felt his gaze getting blurry and ... BRUISES. He fell in the living room.
