The Choice of Mom
Traumatizing
Marital Chapter 3
That afternoon, Lia Hapsari was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear. The chatter between her mother and Arman, makes Lia have to endure embarrassment. What is ready to be born? Just met once, why were the two of them in such a hurry? Wanted to protest at his mother, but in front of him was someone else. As a result, Lia could only endure that discomfort. While grumbling in the heart of course.
‘What dream did I have last night, why be ashamed of this?’ inner Lia while glancing at Arman who was even smiling towards her. Make Lia immediately turn her face permanently, so as not to be obvious. It's not good, it's afraid of being arrogant.
They continued the conversation, now Arman asked about Lia's work on the island of Borneo. And Damri intentionally left both. Alsannya sultry, not bathing, he wants to take a shower first because it is already afternoon.
“I heard you've been in Kalimantan for a long time?” Arman began lancing Lia who tended to be quiet and irritable talk. Though the original cherry, cheerful and super duper chatty as well.
Lia simply nodded, then explained how long she had been on the island by the nickname of the thousand river island.
“For quite a while, after the lecture finished working directly there, yes until now,” said Lia explained briefly.
“Great yes you, Lia.” Arman stared in admiration at the figure of the girl sitting in front of him.
Lia shook her head, “Regularly.”
“I think it's great, oh yeah .. plan when to come back?” asked Arman again, who clearly suspected that Lia would return to Kalimantan again.
“Weekly possible.”
“Tetep communication yes, when it's back. Can I call or call you? No one is angry, right?”
‘Agressive is also this guy!’ inner Lia.
“Can only, but maybe in certain hours. Because if you're working, just call mom sometimes not had time to lift Lia,” said Lia as if to give a sign, does not mean he would be happy to pick up the phone from the man. The handsome, distinguished family, established work, but the more here Lia feels less sreg alone with the man.
“One more time thank you, seneng can know women like you.” Arman again began to pull out the style of dreadlocks. He may not be aware, there are some women who are actually tired if combed, if given a lot of sweetness, but there are also those who like when given a combalan, just a sweetener.
“Sama-sama,” said Lia while staring at her phone. It was late in the afternoon, the day was getting darker, the guests did not come home. Want him to drive out later his mother can talk again.
“It does not feel like it is late afternoon,” said Lia later while staring at the cloudy and dark sky, actually he again sneered at his guests to go home soon.
“Oh, yes!” Arman spontaneously stared at the watch on his wrist. It's five o'clock in the afternoon more, soon want magrib. The man was about to leave, but wanted to find Damri's mom first. Prospective ghosts must be polite, in order to get additional value plus from camer. Before the party wants to leave first.
“Bu Damri where, huh? Want to say goodbye.” Arman looked inside the house as if looking for the mother figure of Lia.
‘Well, good if he feels,’ Inner Lia.
“Before, Lia went inside, did not pangilin ibuk first,” said Lia then entered looking for her mother.
A moment later, Miss Damri appeared with a big box, from the fragrance must have been a donut. Oh, apparently the doughnut was for Arman, thought Lia.
“Already, just take it. Make mom at home.” Miss Damri looks sincere to give her gifts that she made herself all day with Asih.
“Yes Allah, Mom. Even ngerepotin, Arman did not bring anything earlier.” Arman looks not good, because it had come hurry home from work so it was not easy to stop by the fruit figures.
“Nothing, wong mom did deliberately make this. Greetings yes, same father ibuk.”
“Still a lot, Bu.” Arman is still hanging out.
Both of them took too long a pleasantry, making Lia saturated. Lia also wondered why her mother looked so fond of Arman. Is it because he's a PNS? Or because of my father? Or because of the others? I don't know, Lia doesn't know.
“I excuse me ... Lia, thank you for your time. Assalamualaikum.” The man said goodbye kindly, making Darmi's mother more vulnerable. Arman carries a box of doughnuts given by Damri.
“Waalikumsalam,” jawan Lia and bu Darmi simultaneously.

Only then did the car leave the yard, Darmi immediately interviewed about Lia's response. Lia's response to the man. Without further ado, Damri immediately asked this about Arman's arrival to their home.
“How? Cute right? Polite, PNS again. You will not be satisfied if you are the same ibuk.” Damri again urges Lia to accept Arman.
“Yes Allah Ibuk, have also met once, where can Lia judge people. Let alone this to marry that once in a lifetime, Lia must be careful.” Lia shook her head, who was not married yet, why did her mother shake so much. Lia to wonder, what was his mother who married first?
“You till when you choose? Can't you forget that guy?” ask Damri suspicious. Her mother's words immediately made Lia fall into a sluggish silence, she chose to leave her mother. Do not want to argue anymore, especially if it has discussed the man who almost married her first.
‘Lia ... Lia ... Why is your fate like this?’ mumbling Bu Damri then let out a long breath.
Meanwhile, in his room. Lia looked at the window with a blank look. He still remembers well, as his heart ached when the man he loved just left. Yes, maybe it was the beginning that made Lia not get married. Not because he was flattened, not also because he liked to sell expensive, just his heart as if it could not link to another heart. In the figure of the man who became Lia Hapsari's first love.
His name is Andis Hermansyah. Deputy Head of OSIS at Lia High School. He was the first man to introduce Lia to love. Only love of monkeys. However, their romance continued until they entered the university. Different cities do not make the two break up. Lia who was then studying in Jogya, while Andis was accepted in Malang. Distance is not a barrier for both.
LDR being the second choice, the first year everything went well. Copy trust and respect your partner equally. Not the second year or the next. Lia felt a great change in her lover. They began to fuss, until peace returned when the proposal would be held. Although still in college, Andis gently came to apply. He brought his family along at the time, but sometimes plans did not match expectations.
The engagement must be canceled unilaterally by the male side. This is what makes Lia Hapsari until now experience distrust in men. Many approached, but he doubted first. Like Arman, the man her mother had been looking for. Lia was not sure, what the man would be his life companion.
