My Mom Wants to Mate
81. Mommy's Punishment (part 1)

"To stimulate her to talk to you, talk to you continuously. Ask questions that need long answers. Ask her favorite. Oh yes, you can also use negativity to make him react."

"What kind of negativity?"

"The negative is like your closeness with other men but it will trigger conflict so look for a simpler one, for example admiring a handsome actor. In essence, jealousy is not always bad, sometimes it can also help. Then, show him that you're having trouble doing something, ask him to help."

Karen nodded.

Karen's memory goes back to her childhood with Kendrik. They are like dogs and cats if at home, every day noisily and never get along.

But if any other child dared to disturb Kendrik, he would be the most loyal guardian angel for his sister.

The disturbance from the other child that the doctor might have meant, was so in Karen's mind.

They ended the consultation that day.

Karen got out of there and took Daniel home.

~

On the way, Karen fell silent. His love for Daniel is beyond doubt. However, to lead the fight, Karen felt a little heavy.

Out there, there are many couples who have difficulty coming together. However, the two sides fought each other so that any weight would feel wonderful in the end.

As for Karen, she felt she had to fight on her own.

Arriving at home, the two of them were shocked by Mami Seli's car that was parked there. Karen and Daniel looked at each other.

Mami is still angry, has it gone away? Should it have changed the day already died, right angry? (Karen).

They entered the house. Papi Danu was watching TV when Karen and Daniel walked in.

"Oh, Niel, Ren." Papi Danu stood up and approached Karen and Daniel. "Mommy was angry last night. It was out of Karen's hospital and office, you guys weren't there so we came here. Now that Mami's in your room, she hasn't come out."

They both entered the room.

Mami Seli is holding a marriage contract between Karen and Daniel with a terrible look on her face. Daniel put that contract on the table the other day.

However, as the last day of the Karen expo leaves, Daniel's mind centers on Karen's search and forgets that the contract is still lying there.

"You guys!"

"Ma-mami, we can clear Mi."

"Not to be explained Mami can also read! You think marriage is a joke? You don't act like another husband and wife."

They were silent, not daring to speak looking towards Mami. Mami was completely furious, visible from her gestures that even shook while preparing her next sentence.

"Mami know you're being betrothed, but this matchmaking isn't forced! If you don't like each other, you can refuse. Why take such a difficult path?"

"Mommy ...." Karen tried to talk.

"In addition to the fake news of your pregnancy!"

"Th-that ...."

"Shut up!"

Mami Seli set her breath to ease the emotions and determine what punishment for the two of them was.

"From today on, Daniel is temporarily staying at Mami Papi's house" said Mami, still in a trembling voice.

"But I don't want to, Mi," Daniel said as he endured the pain in his chest. Even though he did not speak to Karen, he would still feel pain if he realized the existence of Karen around him.

"You have made a mistake of this magnitude, you can still argue! Anyway, Mami wants Daniel to come with Mami Papi home. Work from there and go home for a while. Mom wait in the car." Mom was about to get out of the room. "If you don't come with Mami, you can stop being Mami's son."

Mami went straight from there and waited in the car.

Daniel and Karen are in the room. They were silent, not a word came out of their mouths.

"Niel, you go with me. Mami was very angry," said Karen while looking down.

Daniel nodded and prepared the clothes.

Karen's silence after the psychiatrist indicates that she's not okay. Although he did not speak to each other, Daniel understood. More precisely, he again felt inferior to his circumstances and resigned.

The doctor came out of the closet carrying a suitcase of clothes. Karen was still sitting down on the bed. Daniel went from there.

On the way to Mami Papi's house

"Niel, last night Mami was really upset. Mami thought about it all night, maybe Karen really wanted to get pregnant to make the fake news. Mami becomes pity and this morning the plan is Mami wants to meet you for motivational love. It turned out that even Mami found something bigger. I don't know what else to say." Mami stroked his chest.

"That's a misunderstanding ...."

"Misunderstand how? Mommy read everything and you two sign!"

He said he didn't know what to say anymore, but he still talked more than that. (Danu Papi).

"Would you really get divorced if it's been a year of marriage?"

In fact, Daniel feels his marriage is not a contract marriage anymore. What else after expressing love with his wife.

However, after coming home from the psychiatrist, he hesitated again. He did not doubt himself because he clearly loved his wife.

She doubted Karen.

"I don't know either, Mi."

Mami sighed. "This is the third month. Three and a half in fact, soon the fourth month. If indeed you do not love each other, you do not need to torture each other. Don't wait a year. If you want to separate, just separate as soon as possible."

"We love each other, Mi, but it was originally ...."

"Udah, next time you will explain. Mami has received quite a lot of shocking news since last night. So long ago, Mami's brain was hot."

Haris accidentally does not go to the studio immediately, he waits for Karen to come to the office first.

Karen came to the office at 8 o'clock. He enters her room followed by Haris.

"Have you stopped being a diligent employee? Yesterday at this hour you were in the studio" Karen said.

"Fear of seeing someone else's liveshow kiss me to the office first mastiin you already here."

Karen looked at Haris and raised her 1 eyebrow.

"By the way, I've underestimated Daniel all along. Turns out the nerd guy is good at nothing so you can forgive his infidelity."

Daniel even had to take medicine to talk to me, maybe this guy said he was good at it. (Karen).

"That's all a misunderstanding, Ris, she's not cheating."

"Oh yeah? What did he say? Did he say it wasn't him and it just looked like a doang? You believe?"

"That's him. But he went into that hotel room to ...." Suddenly Karen stopped.

That's my husband's weakness, why am I a bulbar in front of him. (Karen).

"For?" Haris chase.

"To chat with his new friend from Surbaya. There's a video of him in that room, rame-rame."

Haris nodded with a look of his upset face.

She went into Karen's room. Haris left without saying goodbye.

"Where are you from, Cat?"

"From the minimarket next door, Boss Black, here's a cup noodle for breakfast. The boss did not? I bought 3."

"Can."

Inda turned on the dispenser in the room.

"Eh Boss, what's up here? How is the car invisible?"

"Nice bus."

"What's? Ren's Writer's boss is on public transport!"

"Why? A sin?"

"It's not a sin the Boss."

Inda only imagined how striking the appearance of his boss who is eccentric, red-haired, make up and sunglasses are among the passengers of other buses that are average students and office employees.

"My car is still being carried by Kendrik. At home there is a manual Daniel car. I can't drive a manual car."

"Oh. How not to take an online taxi, boss?"

"I don't know if I suddenly want to take the bus. Only 5,000 bus rides. If you take a cab 25,000 get here."

Buset is my boss, the owner of the company turnover millions, stingy for mercy. (Industry).

"You must be wondering if I'm stingy, huh?"

"No boss, you know what."

"It's not stingy, but money management. A long time ago when I was serious about business, capital was from frugality."

The LED lights in the dispenser were changed to green. Inda poured hot water into 2 cups of noodles.

"Eh Cat, you used to be just as Soni was full of struggle is not she finally able to marry gini?"

"Frankly not so heavy struggle, including smoothly." Inda gives cup noodles to her boss.

"Fortunate for you."

"You could say lucky. But not really. We were going to date secretly. We're pretty much the same, Boss Black, Boss, we're also dating Doctor Daniel secretly."

"Both of you, are you both fighting?"

Inda nodded while feeding her noodles. "Yes Boss. Especially when getting married, a lot of trials. Financial issues as well. We spent money together for the reception. It feels heavy, but nyenengin can finally look at each other."

Karen eats her noodles while looking at Chatsapp's contacts on her phone. He was about to send a message to Daniel, but he stopped.

Hi readers, have a great day.

This author wants to explain a little about selective mutism. Objects that make people with SM disease are different. For Daniel, he mute when dealing with loved ones. There are also mute when meeting people who are hated, or just random people.

This is an example in the series 'The Big Bang Theory' an astrophysicist named Rajesh Koothrappali has this disease. The cause of the mutation is women. So every time he meets a woman, he's quiet.
