My name is Ayu
Chapter 17

I just kept quiet without saying anything. After all Dio also did not defend me for what I was against his family? My appetite seemed to disappear when my stomach was rumbling to be filled.

I just ruffled the food on my plate until Dio's family finished eating and I cleaned the dishes and the used glass. At first glance Dio glanced at me but I pretended not to see it.

Mama offered to help me wash the dishes, but I subtly refused. A little dishwashing I can still do on my own.

Papa looks to be looking at the state of the house. While Mama was engrossed in laughing reading the group on her HP. I took the initiative to peel the fruit for their snacks.

I was serving fruit in the living room when I heard Papa blaring from the backyard. Mama and I looked at each other and rushed there.

"Don't you say, don't make any more furniture! How many times did Papa say? Forget about your hobbies. Focus up! Run Papa's company!"

It turns out that Papa found the work of Dio's mini furniture which he has now thrown away and looks scattered on the floor. Dio lowered his head without refuting a bit. It seems he is holding back his anger.

"If you don't focus on working and just playing with this fucking furniture, Papa will destroy it all!"

Dio clenched his hands restraining emotions. I don't know what got into me so subconsciously I stepped closer to Dio and clasped his hand.

"Pa, what's wrong if Dio channels his favorite hobby? After all Dio did not forget his obligations at the office. Does Papa not know how happy Dio is when making something he likes? Dio has the right to determine his hobby and future, Pa." My words even challenged Papa's anger. I know it. But I'm sorry to see Dio treated like that.

"What do you know about Dio's future? It was that night with you that had ruined Dio's future! If it wasn't Papa who told Dio to take responsibility, it would have been abandoned by Dio! It's clear dating Sheila is even sleeping with a woman like you who is nothing compared to Sheila. Now that you even have a big head already married Dio really pretentious to use against my words. Whoareyou? Self-conscious!"

"I-" I cut Dio off.

"Sorry Ayu, Pa. Ayu had no intention of opposing Papa. Ayu only defended Dio. Sorry Dio hasn't been able to educate Ayu well as a wife. Don't be mad at Ayu, Pa. Just be angry with Dio." Dio resigned and apologized Papa for what I said. I feel guilty and make things even hotter.

"You!" Papa pointed at me. "I remember you yes. Sheila will be returning to Indonesia soon. After Sheila comes home, I will marry her. And I will make Sheila as Dio's first wife and you his second wife!"

Papa's threat made me limp and in disbelief. "How come? Pa, Dio's my husband. How can Papa tell him to be polygamous without my permission?" I'm still trying to defend myself.

"What can't Papa? Dio Papa's son. If he still wants his name listed on Papa's estate, Dio must obey Papa's request. After all you've ruined her relationship with Sheila. You have entered their relationship. Papa just turned things around the way they were." I didn't expect that my Papa-in-law's nature was that cruel. How could her son's household be arranged?

"Pa, that's enough. Ayu Dio's. Wife legitimate. Sheila's problem Dio will think again. Enough fighting. Dio's household, let Dio take care of it. Papa doesn't have to interfere. Don't force all Papa's will." Dio tried to defend me again.

"Papa doesn't want to know. Your marriage to Sheila must continue. You stay select, marry Sheila and your household with Ayu stay awake or you don't choose them both and divorce Ayu."

"Come, Ma we're home." Papa left me and Dio who was still silent could not believe the decision that Papa made.

"You guys calm down. Let Mama talk slowly with Papa later." Mama tried to calm us down and went to follow Papa.

I wiped a few drops of flowing tears. What is this, I'm going to be polygamous? Why should I have such a bad destiny?

"Explain, Dio. What did Papa mean? Why are you being told to do polygamy?" I asked Dio for an explanation.

Dio looked into my eyes, it was clear that he was dizzy to face the reality that was happening.

"When Papa caught us both sleeping together, Papa asked me to take responsibility for you. Papa does not want negative news about me to circulate widely and even make my name ugly in the eyes of shareholders. I'm finally marrying you. But Papa also asked me to marry Sheila because Sheila's parents are important business partners for Papa. Later Papa arranged that Sheila would be the first wife and you became the second wife. Because if we get divorced you won't get an inheritance like the first wife."

"Then you agreed to it?"

"I can what Yu? I've been living under Papa's armpits all this time. I can't go against Papa's will, Yu. I'm sorry...." Dio tried to hug me but I let go of his embrace.

"If you marry Sheila, you better divorce me first. Until whenever I don't want to be combined!"

I left Dio who was looking at me desperately. I slammed the room door until it was tight to vent my emotions. My crying broke in the room.

Lord...What happened to my life? why would Papa Putra do something like this to me. I remember, back when I caught Dio and me I was sure Papa Putra was planning something that the end result would definitely cost me. It is fitting that Papa Putra who took the initiative to register our marriage. What makes me suspicious is that until now I have not signed a marriage certificate which means my marriage and Dio is not yet official aka still married siri. Is this all part of Papa's plan?

I just have to count the days until Sheila finally comes and what will happen then happens. Am I ready to be a widow at a young age? Will Dio continue to follow his father's wishes?

The door to my room opened slowly. I pretended to be asleep. Dio walked over to me. Dio crouched down on the right side of sleep and looked at me for a long time. Dio's hands stretched out and gently stroked my hair. I held back my tears from spilling so Dio wouldn't know I was still awake.

"I'm sorry, Yu. I am not opinionated. I don't know what to do anymore either. Everything in my life depends on Papa. I haven't been able to choose any of you. You're my wife, and Sheila's my boyfriend. You're two people in my life right now. I'm sorry Yu...."

Dio then got up and walked out of the room continuing his work in the backyard.

I ended up in my room all day, not going out at all, even for lunch and dinner. I just want to sleep and calm my mind.

But my calm did not last long. A notification on my HP reads. There's a photo sent by my friend Dian. I opened the message and how broken my heart was when I saw the photo of God being under guarantee. It turns out that it was true Mama Dewa said that her son would marry. I lost all hope I had. The gods belong to others. And Dio, who is currently my husband, is about to remarry another woman.
