One Night With Your Wife
Right to be hated

 A week later, Aunt Tania came home with Aunt Siska. Seeing their presence, Mama Widya immediately exhaled a tired breath. It is clear that during the departure of Zavian, his two in-laws always pressured Mama Widya. 

But today Zavian won't let anyone harass his mother. The woman was too tired in living her heavy life story to lead to grief due to the departure of her eldest child. 

“ As long as you know, Vian. For the past two years we have always been looking for you everywhere,” said Aunt Tania who was followed by a nod to Aunt Siska. 

“ Oh, yes ?” Zavian responds with a face that pretends not to know. Though he knows everything.” What's Aunt looking for me for?”

“ We are looking for you to demand that you take responsibility for the mess Fabian has done to our company.” said Aunt Tania. 

Zavian breathed heavily. Since his return, he had always tried to avoid the topic of this conversation. But it seemed like this time Zavian could not dodge anymore. 

“ Why should I be in charge ?” asked Zavian with his flat face. 

“ Because this mess was caused by Fabian and the brengsek is your brother,” replied Aunt Tania with great emphasis at the end of her sentence. 

“ The stewardship of the company has been taken over for two years and my family has not interfered again. Means whatever happens during that time period is your responsibility,” explained Zavian. 

“ Obviously you still have to take responsibility !” sentak Aunt Tania with a face full of emotions.” I took over the company because it was on the verge of bankruptcy ! Nothing more is right there. And all because of Fabian !”

“ Right, all that wrong Fabian !” tymphal Aunt Siska.

“ Already dead he still leaves problems for others , especially if until long life,” said Aunt Tania increasingly cynical.” He really deserves to be thrown into hell !” 

“ Keep greeting Auntie ! “ reply Zavian with slightly high tone. Since then he has continued to hold back his emotions when the dead Fabian is still blasphemed so badly. But this time Zavian could not hold back any longer. 

“ The fact is so,’kan ? What do you want to deny from the bad behavior of your brother, Hah?” ask Aunt Tania. 

“ I am not defending the actions of Fabian who during his life was guilty, but now the situation is different . She's dead and shouldn't have prayed for her to go to hell. That's cruel,” Zavian said. 

“ Everything must be accounted for, Vian. That's why we came here,” said Aunt Siska. 

“ It is true, but do not bring Fabian again in the company's problems,” said Zavian. 

He looked at the two tantas one by one with disappointed eyes. Since long ago Papa Adrian always divided the company's profits to his two younger siblings fairly. While Aunt Tania and Aunt Siska do not want to know how hard his Papa's efforts to advance the company. But now, when things start to turn around, the two instead ask Zavian to take responsibility. As if they do not want to bother taking care of the company and just want the results. 

“ Vian, come on. Make repairs like you did before. Invest your money and make Rayyansyah company cooperate with your company. Only with that can things improve again,” said Tante Tania full of seduction. 

Zavian shook his head quickly. He had decided not to want to be tied to the family company that always made him dizzy long ago. Now she just wants to live a quiet life with Mama Widya and her little family. 

“ But Vian....” 

“ So far I have done various ways for the company to improve and you can accept the results . But I also have the right to make the decision to go back there or not, and you can't protest ” Zavian said firmly. 

“ We need your help,” said Aunt Tania in a softened voice. 

“ For now I don't want to help,” Zavian said. He then stood up and bowed by laying hands to the side of the table.” Auntie don't forget, that for two years I've been away, I've kept knowing what's going on here. Including how bad Auntie was in insulting my mom.”

Aunt Tania gasped and felt her hands suddenly shiver. Zavian's gaze looked so cold and piercing. All this time Zavian did not want to help but that does not mean he did not care about what happened to his mother. 

Zavian then went by and left the two. Then Zavian found Mama Widya waiting for him in another room with worried eyes. 

“ It's okay, Ma. Don't worry,” said Zavian to calm the woman.

“ Thank goodness,” says Mama Widya. He was worried that his two brothers-in-law would suppress and demean Zavian as he had always done all this time. 

“ Mama want to come with me?” zavian said later. 

Mama Widya nodded quickly. Her tears almost spilled. Now there's no place to hold on to other than Zavian, his only son. 

“ Take Mama wherever you go.” 

“ Come to think of it, it would not be wrong if now Aunt Tania and Aunt Siska are strict with us. You see, the problem has always come from Fabian and Mama who are too involved in company policy.” Mama Widya said with eyes filled with regret. 

Mama Widya herself could not deny that her outrageous attitude had first scratched the wound against her sister-in-law. He would not close his eyes to everything that had ever happened between them. About the arrogance that was on her as if her husband would live fine forever. About his ambition that forced his son to become the main heir to the Rayyansyah company. 

Mama Widya will never forget what her attitude was like. And now, after many failed and lost times, he felt that he had the right to be hated by his two in-laws. He is fully aware of his mistake. 

“ I know, Ma. And now I refuse to go back there also not because of revenge, but it does not want to bother anymore,” replied Zavian. 

“ One day, help them, Zavian. You must break the chain of grudges that have already appeared between us. Do not let this situation drag on or connect to your children and grandchildren later,” whispered Mama Widya. 

Zavian nodded in understanding. He understands what he has to do in the future. This is no longer about the profit and loss that can be achieved, but also about how life will be better in the future. Therefore he will be careful in acting so that no one else is hurt.
