Love On The Side

Love On The Side
'63


Rere followed what his mother-in-law said. He was built, then invited to sit on the sofa near them.


"If it's true what you say, then prove it all, Re. Don't just talk. But give evidence by deeds. Mama wants to see the evidence of all the words coming out of your mouth as soon as possible."


"Mama will forgive Rere if Rere can prove what Rere said?" Eagerly, Rere raised the question. His eyes now sparkled as he felt hope again.


"Yes. Mama will forgive you. But, Re. All decisions are in Alvin's hands. You can only forgive me as your daughter-in-law. But what you're really hurting is not your mom. Except, Alvin's mom's son."


Rere understood best the meaning of the words of the mother-in-law. Even so, the apology and opportunity that her mother-in-law gave her was the first best thing she had gotten back after the mistake she made.


After a while of chatting, Rere was allowed the mother-in-law to meet the husband who was currently in her room. Rere went to Alvin's room with a waiter.


"This is the young master's room, miss." The waiter spoke in a somewhat cold tone.


Of course it's a little cold. Bad news on the wedding day is spreading very quickly. They regret what Rere did on his wedding day. Therefore, they don't like Rere anymore now. Because Rere was already considered a selfish human being who deliberately offended their young master.


But Rere knew the servants were not wrong. After all, what was wrong was him. He did something with just a feeling. Not with the thought.


"Thank you very much."


The waiter immediately left Rere without answering the thank you that Rere said. Not yet Rere entered Alvin's room, he had heard the little talk of the two servants in the second floor aisle.


"I thought, the madam will instantly drive this shameless woman out of the house when she comes. Uh... the reality is different. The madam instead allowed him to enter the young master's room. It's beyond logic."


"The tape's been about madam tuh. Hence she was well received by the mistress in this house even after the great mistake she had made."


"Hush, what era is this? Is there really a pellet? If so, I'd like to use it too."


"Yes there. The proof is in front of us. If she doesn't use pellets, she might accept it after the big mistake she made."


It hurt Rere's heart when he heard the servants' words. They don't even hesitate to talk about Rere. Not in the back, but even in front of Rere's face.


However, Rere did not want to pay any heed to what the servants were saying. Because the most important thing now is, get sorry from Alvin. Because without that apology, how could Rere survive being Alvin's wife?


Rere's not in yet. He tried to knock on the door several times, but still there was no response from the owner of the room.


'Alvin what the hell is he doing? Is he on a break? Am I going in or not right now?"


After rounding out the resolve, Rere chose to go straight into Alvin's room. Slowly but surely, his hand opened the door of the room that was tightly closed.


In spite of the weight, Rere still stepped up. When he entered the room, he was immediately in earnest with a large photo on the left side of the room wall.


It was a photo in high school clothes that still looks old. Who else is the model of the photo if not her. Well, it's a picture of him looking upset at Alvin.


Right, that's a picture of both of them. The photo that somehow Alvin could have. Rere still remembers very well the incident in the photo. At that time, Alvin was giving him a snack. But Rere refused it outright.


But, Alvin paid no heed to Rere's refusal at all. He still forced Rere to accept it. Until it makes Rere so upset not a bitch.


Rere touched the photo gently. There was regret in Rere's heart as he recalled everything he had done a long time ago. If only he had accepted Alvin once, then learned to love Alvin with all his might. Maybe, at this time his life must have been very happy with people who love him wholeheartedly.


When turning the body to get away from the photo, Rere's hand accidentally touched the other wooden frame. As a result, the picture frame fell because of the accidental touch that Rere gave.


The fall of the picture frame immediately woke Alvin who was sleeping. Although the sound produced by the wooden picture frame was not strong, but Alvin who had been asleep for quite a long time was immediately aware of the sound that disturbed his hearing.


"reese"


"Al-t Alvin. Sorry, that's .. I didn't accidentally."


It wasn't the picture frame that dropped that made Rere feel so very nervous right now. Rather, his meeting with Alvin that makes him feel wrong for now.


"Why are you in this room now?"


Alvin's question was a bit of a stab at Rere. How not? Alvin looks very unwilling for him to be present in front of him for now.


"Vin. I ... I've permission with your mama. I want to talk to you, that's why I'm here."


Alvin immediately let out a rough breath.


"God! Oh, is your business helping people's lives over, Re? If not, maybe you can go again now. Let's talk next time. I want to rest."


Alvin immediately twisted his body after saying those words. Meanwhile, Rere, who knows what Alvin is currently feeling, will never give up before he tries to apologize sincerely to Alvin.


"Alvin I'm sorry. I know you must be very angry at what I've done. But, Vin. Please understand. I .... "


Rere's words immediately made Alvin look back. "What kind of understanding do you want from me, Re? I've been trying to understand you all this time. But unfortunately, the understanding I gave you was misunderstood, Rere."


"On our wedding day, you still have time to think of others. Tell me, I have to understand what it's like, Rere!" This time, Alvin began to wear a high tone when saying words. But, that high tone was still held up very well in his esophagus.
