My husband is in the room of my best friend
Dion's Assertiveness
Exactly eight, after dinner. Dion was sitting with Mami Ocha and Papi Dimas. While Luna, as usual, chose in the room. Ever since he came home, he didn't dare to meet Dion's parents. Well, how Luna wants to meet him, while the waiter just acts indifferent to him, let alone the in-laws. And it makes Luna afraid and embarrassed to meet them even just for pleasantries.
"Mommy, Papi. I want to say something," Dion said politely.
"What's up, Son?" ask Papi Dimas.
"I want to get out of this house" said Dion, looking down in fear
Hearing her son's words, made Mami Ocha inflamed
"Why? Is this what your wife wants?" ask Mami Ocha cynically.
"No, Mom. This is not Luna's will, but mine. On second thought, I want to live independently. After thirty-one years of age, it is only natural that I want to live my life with my wife. If it continues like this, when do I stand up. I also want to live alone with my wife, and live a simple life, just like I wanted it to be" she said.
"But, Son. Here, you are not considered to be your wife. Even all your needs, your assistant did. Especially if it's just the two, Papi is afraid that you even have nothing to take care of," he said expressing his concern.
"I can't possibly wiggle Mam. I have a lot of money, I can buy anything I want. How could I live his life hanging around while I myself am the CEO of the largest Tea company in Indonesia. The real thing," he said chuckling, trying to melt the atmosphere.
"Indeed, but as parents. Honestly, we're afraid, your life isn't good. Unlike if you live here, Mami can still monitor you directly," replied Mami Ocha, who is not willing to let her child out of this house. He does not like to be away from his son.
"Mam, please. Please let me out. Please don't hold me back like a child. It's time I wanted to learn to live independently with my wife. I'm not a teenage boy. I'm even more than three heads, even my friends have a lot of children. Some even have SD. I am not a child, who must obey. I want a freedom. I want to do whatever I want, without having to ask permission like a child. It should be without Mami's permission, Papi, I can go. But I still respect you guys, I still ask for permission well. So, please just this time, let me take a step, let me decide my own life in the future. I am a man, a husband, a head of the household. A leader in my little family, so please don't make me feel like I'm a failure to be a priest in my family. Please respect my decision, and just pray, that I can be a good leader and priest for my family" Dion said at length, making his parents instantly silent.
"Well, if that's what you want. Go awayl. Mami won't be holding you back from today. Live as you please and may you be happy with your marriage." And after that, Mami Ocha also went from the same with a face full of disappointment.
As for Papi Dimas, he only sighed. " To be honest, Papi and Mami are worried about you, because we love you Son. We don't want you to lack anything, maybe you can buy anything out there. But, can you guarantee, your wife can take good care of you. Whereas from marriage until this moment, Papi and Mami see for themselves, if your wife does not treat you well. Even impressed with abai. But yes, as you say. You are the leader in your own home. All decisions are in your hands. Papi, as a parent, can only pray that God will give you the best." After that, Papi Dimas also went to follow the wife who had been to their room.
Dion, it can only be frustrating. But he also could not refuse the wife's request. He hoped, Luna did not waste the opportunity he gave. She hopes that, by leaving this house, Luna will learn and want to serve herself well and no longer be a wife who is only selfish.
