MY MOM'S BEST FRIEND'S BED
Chapter 23. Yudha Story.

Manda went into her room and called her lawyer. The woman wants her and Jefri's divorce taken care of and decided as soon as possible. There is no point in maintaining something that the person does not want to defend.

Bathing so doubtful with his love Jefri all this time. Is he really sincere in love with her or as the family says if Jefri simply loves his property.

Any man would definitely want to marry Manda, because of his abundant wealth. That's what the Manda family often said. So as to avoid family talk, Manda asked Jefri to move to another city. Coincidentally he also just opened a business in the new city.

The lives of the Manda and Jefri households were normal for decades. Until the storm comes. Jefri learns of a lie that Manda has been covering for decades.

Manda realized that if this rift also started from him, then from that Manda never turned on Jefri. Repeatedly he forgave Jefri's behavior, who was caught playing women and cheating with some women.

If this time Manda asks for separation, because it feels useless to maintain this already unhealthy marriage again. Manda knows that this time Jefri is not just playing women but has fallen in love with other women.

Manda chose to let go of all, so that no one else would feel hurt. Jefri and himself can be free to seek happiness each.

There is a phase in which a person lifts foot because his patience, care, and loyalty are no longer valued. I'm not asking you to appreciate me the way I respect you, but I'm just asking you to keep my feelings in check. Maintain it if your strength is still worth fighting for, but let it go if your strength is not cared for.If he cannot accept your shortcomings, it is proof that there is no love in his heart. Because if love, it will certainly accept whatever the circumstances.

There are times when we give. There are times when we accept. And that's what it's supposed to be. It is not only me who gives, without anything in return. If patience isn't enough, maybe losing will be waking. I gave up and chose to leave.

Manda looked at the streets drenched in rainwater. The cool atmosphere seemed to want to show if they were currently also feeling the same thing that Manda was feeling.

While engrossed in daydreaming, Manda was shocked by the sound of knocking on the door. Manda walked slowly closer to the door and opened it. Smiling looking at his son who was standing in the doorway.

"Mi, I have something to ask you. Can I come in?"ask Yudha.

"Of course. Comein, boy!"

Manda opened the door wider so that Yudha could enter. The young man sat on the sofa in the room.

Manda could already guess what her son was going to ask. It must be a matter of who his real father is. Why he was never honest.

Manda sat down beside her son and took a deep breath. His eyes glared somewhere. Manda is actually not ready for the situation as it is today.

Not that Manda felt the most hurt, but the heart of the woman who was ready to accept the separation. What else did they part with feelings that were both hurt.

"Mi, why is all this Mami keeping secret with me?" yudha asked in a soft voice.

"Mommy was forced to keep all this a secret so you wouldn't be sad. Mami doesn't want you to feel dumped by your father. And all of this was also on Papi's will. He loves you like his own son. Papi doesn't want your feelings to change for him after knowing he's just dad."

"If Papi loves me, why would he choose another woman right now?" ask Yudha again.

Manda took a deep breath again. Maybe it's time he had to be honest and say it all. Yudha is not growing up. He could definitely accept whatever it was that was Papi and his Mama's decision.

"All Mami's fault for lying to Papi. Maybe because of his disappointment Papi vented by hurting Mami. All this must be accepted Mami sincerely and airy chest. Maybe this is the end of our meeting."

Manda said everything that happened. About his lies and also the disappointment that Papi felt. Manda has also been trying to receive Papi's treatment for three years.

But I am not an angel who is always right. I am not the devil who is always wrong. I'm just a normal human being who's wrong but not always wrong. I have also done good even though you never appreciated it.

I chose to retreat at this moment not because I felt defeated. All for the good. For the health of my soul and heart. If in your eyes I'm always wrong and only you are right, maybe parting ways is best for us.

"Mami think Papi must still love you. If he changed at the moment, maybe because of his disappointment in Mami. For Papi you are still his favorite son. Mami was sure of that," said Manda.

Manda did not want his son to hate Jefri, because no matter what the circumstances and attitudes of Jefri were, he was still the best Papi for Yudha.

Evidently until Yudha was 17 years old, she always accompanied her son in all circumstances and situations. Manda tried to convince Yudha to respect Jefri.

"Come, Mi. I don't know what I'm feeling right now. I'm sad, definitely. However, I also realize as a father continued Papi has given his best. What disappointed me was Papi's current attitude. If indeed he was disappointed and did not love Mami, why did he maintain this marriage. Why not divorce Mami first. Why wait for Mami to make a decision?"

Many questions raged in the young man's mind. Why has Papi hung his mami status for the past three years? Whether Papi deliberately did that was only to avenge his heartache for having lied to Mami. If that's Papi's excuse, he's a loser. If he is a real man, it should end the relationship immediately if it feels uncomfortable instead of replying to him.

Elsewhere, it appears Jefri was driving his car slowly. He just met his lawyer. Jefri asked for his chance to get the gono gini treasure.

Jefri's lawyer said he might only get one company standing after they get married, houses and villas. It should also be split in two. Another treasure in Manda's name, could not be prosecuted. Because it was all established before they got married.

Their treasures are also numerous in the name of Manda and Yudha. Jefri remembers, after they got married, Jefri and Manda tried to both develop a business owned by Manda. All of these are called Yudha. Jefri never expected that they would eventually split up.

Jefri hit the steering wheel. He won't get half the treasure, only a small part. Though he wants to marry Lani with a massive party to show Manda, if he can find a young woman who is much more everything than that woman.
