After a few days of treatment, Liam was allowed to go home. But since his return Liam seems more silent. He may also be tired of his condition. Physically, he is also weak.
That night Anin and Liam had dinner together. They ate, the food Anin ordered from the restaurant. Because Anin rarely cooks, the only one who usually cooks at home is Renata. But now he was no longer among them. Making Liam's life back like it was without Renata just yet. Eat at a restaurant or cafe. Clothes in loundry. And other needs will be taken care of with money without any attentive service like Renata did to him. It was what made Liam feel empty without Renata.
Throughout the dinner, there was no communication between them that night. Only the sound of cutlery and plates could be heard. While the mother and child were constantly busy enjoying their dinner and dissolved in their respective minds.
The atmosphere became even more silent as they actually passed by without a word until their dinner was over.
Anin looked at Liam who still seemed to care nothing, as if she thought her mother was not in the room. So did Anin, she didn't want to pique Liam's frustration. He prefers to keep it. He did not want to provoke Liam's annoyance anymore.
...***...
After eating, Liam went straight to the room. There he remained silent in his dark room. Liam just turned on his sleep lamp. He just wanted to be alone in the dark.
The quiet atmosphere made him more soluble with his longing for his son and wife. The cry of little Aiden who always ringed in his ears and Renata's warm greeting to him. Remembering that made Liam feel a tightness in his heart.
Liam immediately sat leaning on his headboard. He could not sleep, probably because he had spent the day sleeping, so that at night he could not sleep anymore. Liam turned his head to the side of the bed, there was a small table there. Liam took something in that desk drawer.
There was an object that made Liam stifled to look at him, his arm took the object and held it into his arms with a feeling of sadness and destruction. It was Aiden's shirt left in the apartment and Liam deliberately brought it home as a treatment miss to his son.
He smelled the tiny shirt, Aiden's smell still lingering on the tiny outfit. Liam permeated his longing in the dimness of his room lights. He was getting homesick with that spoiled little figure. Liam looked at the tiny clothes with a smile, as if Aiden was the one he was holding at the moment.
Suddenly someone opened the door to Liam's room. Liam turned his head quickly to the source of the voice. The figure stepped into the room with a step. It was Anin. Anin slowly walked over to Liam and sat down on the edge of Liam's bed. He saw Aiden's shirt in Liam's hands.
Anin bowed and tried to take a deep breath before she spoke. He was sad because it was deep in his heart. He missed Aiden too. But as he remembered Lidya, it made Anin immediately hide her true feelings.
"3 days later Mama will be gone. Mama's got an event in Australi. Mama made an appointment a long time ago, so Mama can't cancel it again. Otherwise Mama will get into trouble" Anin explained asking Liam for understanding. At once tell his departure to Liam.
Even his mother was still thinking about her work in her slump like this.
"You're okay, right? If Mama leaves for a while. Mama's gonna be home when it's all over,"
Liam still did not budge from his position. Anin stared at Liam's back for a moment, she felt a little choked up by Liam's cold reaction. Then he smiled smirkily.
"Yes already if you really want to sleep," said Anin while gently rubbing his son's shoulder before moving to prepare to leave.
He felt that Liam really already thought of him as an enemy for what had happened. He stepped towards Liam's room door. Suddenly his steps stopped. When Liam called him.
"Ma ...," called Liam to make Anin turn her head. "I used to find my happiness. When I entered the house that smelled the smell of cooking that made me hungry and longed to go home quickly, there was Aiden who was crying, his voice was noisy but I really liked it. When I came home someone welcomed me when I wanted to eat already served. But ... Now it's gone. I'm back in this life again, in a boring life. Pretending to be okay in my loneliness, at number two right, even when I was down like now I had no family to lean on. And spilling my fatigue. I just got a real family, which I can put on my back and have to break now," Liam said suddenly, Anin fell silent and took a deep breath and let go violently. Now he really can't be patient anymore. He could not bear to continue being cornered like this.
"If you were really important to him, you wouldn't be in his stay would you? He even left without permission. Do you deserve to keep and cry like this? And he obviously got what he wanted. The debt you have paid is paid, his sister is done with her school. Then he left, right? Now you judge for yourself what it means," said Anin began to corner Renata.
"What did Mama say after I left that night?!" look at Liam questioningly.
"I just want a family, a whole family. Which are always there for each other. That's all I want. I've never demanded anything in this whole time. I just asked for Mama's understanding. He even apologized repeatedly. Is that not enough? What else does Mama want? what confession again?" liam shouted who began to look defiant.
"No. It will never be enough to accept them in our lives. He's apologizing?! Good. I'm sorry, but not to make them a part of our family. Mama would do anything so she wouldn't be a part of our family again. He will never be accepted in this house. Never will," said Anin who now looks can not hold back his feelings anymore. Liam looked at his mother inside.
He showed his sharp face to Liam emotionally. A powerful look in his eyes showed a grudge that would not be easy to heal.
"Mama slapped that shameless woman that night, and Mama also asked her to divorce you. He wants his mother, and he forgets you Liam. He just chose his mother. Realize Liam, you are only used and used by them," said Anin loudly. "Will you keep a woman like that? Wake up, Liam, and see the truth. The reality is that you are not important to him at all" Anin said, starting to provoke Liam.
Liam choked to hear Anin say, he swallowed his bitter-tasting salivary. Looking at the speechless Liam Anin smiled wryly. Anin's words hurt Liam a lot. But Liam couldn't argue with him either. Renata is the first woman to give Liam the meaning of a real family. The family life she had missed since childhood. Found the fact that it was all pseudo makes Liam hurt.
Even though he had fought for everything, so that he could still be with Renata. Eventually Renata chose to leave her for her mother.
"I'm tired, I want to rest" said Liam coldly, he could no longer argue with his mother, expressing everything to her even made him more tormented instead of relieved. He lay back to his mother.
Anin got up and left Liam. He closed Liam's room door.
While Liam was lying with a chest that felt rumbling not because of. He squeezed Aiden's clothes. I don't know what Liam is thinking, starting to hate Renata or just being shaken by the circumstances. He tried to close his eyes, precisely forcing him to shut.
SERIATE...
