AAI 34 - Hesti Threat
For two days Galih had always avoided Hesti. He chose to leave early in the morning and go home late at night so that he would be free from his mother.
Beautiful who does not know anything thought if Galih was busy with his work in the office. Galih did reason overtime so as not to arouse suspicion of the wife.
As it is today, time has shown that ten o'clock at night Galih just arrived home. Very slowly he opened the door of the house so as not to make other residents know.
But, baby, the estimate is off. Just as he stepped foot in, the main light of the living room suddenly lit up. Be surprised when you realize it.
"Just come home, Galih? Clock this?" Ask Hesti who turned out to have deliberately welcomed the return of the son. Since this afternoon, he had been planning this. And sure enough, right at ten o'clock in the evening Galih came home from the office.
"Y-mother?" Saying Galih. He was very surprised to see the figure of his mother who for two days he deliberately avoided. But today he had to face back to face with her, making Galih feel her heartbeat beating faster than usual.
"Why, Galih? You're surprised to see mom here, aren't you? Why do you see me like I'm seeing a ghost? Did you scare me?" The series of questions from Nesti further made Galih's esophagus feel like it was stuck. He quickly shook his head to hear the words of his mother. Moreover, the existence of the two who are currently in the living room. Galih was afraid, if their voices were heard reaching his room which was upstairs.
"N-no, Mom. I-I was just surprised to see my mother standing there" replied Galih, stepping up to the stairs.
"Where are you going, Galih? Mother has not finished talking," said Nesti who immediately made Galih stop his steps.
" It's night, Mom. Tomorrow only," said Galih as he continued his steps up the stairs.
"That means I'll ask her tomorrow morning in front of your wife" hesti said, folding his hands together. He was really furious at Galih who seemed to ignore him. Therefore, hesti chose an instant way to pull his son into his grasp.
Galih who was about to step up the stairs suddenly urung and turned to look at Nesti. His face turned red from hearing the threat from his mother. He quickly turned and looked at his mother.
"Mom threatened me?" hiss Galih.Thin grin is clearly visible on the lips of Hesti.he knows if Galih will definitely be provoked by his threat.
"Of course not, Galih.you refuse to talk to mom at this time.that means mom will ask you again tomorrow morning when we meet at the dinner table. Aren't we going to have breakfast together every morning?" sahut Hesti's.
"Enough? Of course not, Galih. If you don't want to divorce your wife, then you can make Melinda your second wife, after all, she's pregnant with your flesh and blood" he reminded.
Galih who heard can only shake his head in disbelief with the mother who is too easy to believe the words of the woman.
"It looks like she's been brainwashed by that woman. I never did that with him, Mom, you've been lied to" said Galih. as a man, of course he can judge someone by his appearance. let alone the woman is Melinda, he was very sure if the woman was not a good woman as known by his mother.
"Cannot be. Melinda is a good girl and comes from a respected family, just like our family." said Hesti who did not accept if Melinda insulted by others even though it was her own son. Galih could only quietly hear every word that his mother said.
"If you refuse this marriage, then I will tell your wife." hesti added with both eyes that have been staring intently at her son. Seeing the inertia of Galih, made Hesti go up. He looked up and shouted.
"BEAUTIFUL! IT'S BEAUTIFUL! GET OUT, LOVELY!" hesti's voice boomed in the silence of the night. Galih who did not expect his mother screamed calling his wife immediately shed his body in front of Hesti.
"I-mom, please Mom. Don't tell me Beautiful about all this. I didn't want him to know anything" with his trembling voice Galih pleaded with her mother.
He could do nothing but plead. All the evidence was in his mother's hands, denying that he could not. Melinda was so great when taking pictures of them.
Hesti smiled with satisfaction as he watched his son bend his knees before him. He is very satisfied to beat Galih who he has not been able to defeat. The cunning Hesti would not be able to give up on doing what he wanted. And now victory is in his hands.
Fortunately, the beautiful in the room did not come out even though the mother-in-law was screaming to call her name. But that's okay, seeing the helplessness of Galih able to make Hesti cheer.
"Good, this is my son. I'll never say anything to your wife. But you must follow all my orders without the slightest rebuttal. If you dare to refuse or find a loophole in order to run away from me, then mom will unload it all to her wife and family. You understand that, Galih?" hesti said with arrogance. His hands ruffled his waist while staring at the head of the son who was looking down below him.
Galih could not make a sound other than nodding his head. Upon seeing that response, Hesti went to his room with a smile imprinted on his lips. Leaving the now tearful Galih there.
''Is this the end of my life, Lord? Or is this the beginning of the destruction of my home? I want to give up, but what about my wife, God? I love her so much,''
