The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 63 - Emotional


Helmia looked at the whole body of her son-in-law with a judging look. His eyebrows shot up next to him with a wry expression. It clearly showed the uncomfortable feeling that was possessing him. Both hands are crossed. A rough gust of breath sounded before with a hateful tone he said. “Do you get sick? Or are you taking advantage of this situation to get Alfa's attention?” The woman tilted her head. Completely intend to finish off Tiara this time. “Unfortunately, your asamu was only half-expected, because Alfa now realized that she was wrong to have chosen you,” decaknya. “I've told you before, haven't I? And I hope you haven't forgotten. Your job is now done. You just let go because Alfa has found the right woman,” he said with a proud tone.


Tiara. Trying to ignore the words of his mother-in-law who clearly did not consider it anything. He wanted to cry, but, that excruciating pain had succeeded in sucking away all the strength of his body, or ... the woman is now too strong so to cry again this thing he is bored?


The woman sighed. Remembering that housekeeper who was not next to him. Alisa must not have known Helmia, so that maybe earlier by all means, her mother-in-law was able to convince the woman to leave them both. Ah, Tiara regretted being so engrossed in her activities that she did not notice that Alisa had gone out of nowhere and was free, Helmia could say as she pleased as she was today.


“I ... I am not feeling well and I .. have no power to stand.” Tiara said with a straight look ahead, looking back at the painting of Alfa as if she was staring softly at him. Giving mercy, but, can't.


With all his might the woman tried to ignore her in-laws who were standing not far beside her. Throw away all anger because at this time all resistance like anything is useless.


“Oh ... does Alfa treat you badly? Or is this how you get Alfa's love back? By showing that you're weak?” Helmia squinting and thinning lips. Actually, he did not expect that he would be this determined to have an emotional confrontation with Tiara. He did not know why the more days, the hatred in his heart was more fostered, especially now, Jonah was still outside the city with uncertain news, so that made it easy for him to be ignited by anger.


Tiara turned her head in a daze, daring to look back at Helmia who had been staring at her with a murderous look. The breath he let out, then lazily looked back at his two hands that were clinging to his lap. Staring at his stomach. The woman smiled in a crib, finding moments like this that should have been the mouth of her entire happiness, but, she still had to face such complicated things. So, it is true if the achievement of an ideal does not guarantee happiness. Apparently, happiness cannot be measured from trivial things like the realization of a desire. It can only be found when the heart feels calm, solemn in the soul full of thanks to God.


“Why are you just silent? Which means what I said is true, right?” Helmia grinning.


Tiara slightly followed her eyes to see her in-laws who were smiling triumphantly because they managed to silence her mouth with words, so as not to be able to give her an answer. “Because it will be in vain,”.


Helmia widened her eyes. “What did you say?”


“It's a waste of time that I speak, because you hate me. There are no useful words for haters, because they only believe what is in their hatred and turn a blind eye to everything,” Tiara said weakly. He did not expect, this atmosphere full of estrangement would occur with Helmia. The woman really felt that there was no longer an awkward barrier between herself and her mother-in-law. He felt that he was a stranger to his parents-in-law at this time.


The bearded lady picked up the vibrating phone in her handbag. Not talking anything, just listening carefully and then answering. “Ya.” A few seconds later, after he put his phone back in his bag and looked at Tiara, who was still in the puddle of his mind, Helmia passed away, leaving Alfa's wife alone without reacting to Tiara's bitter words.

Alfa stepped quickly down the stairs. Whistling cheerfully, before suddenly her eyes stared intently towards the front far below the stairs, where Alisa was standing there, observing her painting. Tiara .. where is Tiara? The man ran a little to make a thumping sound that was so loud because of the pounding of his shoes.


Alisa who heard a loud noise from behind her immediately turned her head and was shocked beyond measure when she saw that Alfa was so close to her with an angry expression. The woman gulped her saliva violently. His heart was pounding fast, when he realized that the man's bead was scanning in all directions. As his eyes sharply pointed towards both of his eyes, Alfa growled. “Where is Tiara? Why did you leave him alone?”


Alpha's panicked. He would look to see if his mother would actually come. And, it's coming!


“Mother Tiara is not alone Sir. He was with Helmia's mother. Forgive me because I do not know the family members of the Father so I often can not behave as it should be,” he explained with a confused expression because instead of feeling calm, his master actually looked dazed when he found out his wife was both with his mother.


“Alfa!” Leon called from behind. “Where are you going? The show starts in three minutes. Come forward,” take him.


The man stopped his steps and turned his back. Look for a moment at the watch and increasingly curse annoyed because really, good luck is not on his side at this time. He has no more time.


Several relatives, invited guests and guests of honor have stood in front of the ribbon-strap line with flowers hanging in the air, waiting for Alfa.


The man departed from the direction to stand, approaching Alisa who was still pecking in place. “Please do not leave Tiara. Stay with her until I get back. Tell anyone who wants to talk to him four eyes to see me first. I don't want this to happen again!" it was her determination that made Alisa wrinkle.


“Good .. Good Sir. I'm sorry,” restless. Alisa thinned her lips with all the whack of eternity, studying in her mind, where lay all this irregularity?


Shortly afterwards, there was a clattering of steps that caught his sense of hearing from the direction of Tiara and the woman was to speak four eyes. It was possible that the two of them were talking in the corner of the hall like the last time Alisa left it. Helmia walked towards him and ignored the presence of the woman who was observing him. What the hell's going on?

The boisterous sounds of many people were heard in the front area of the exhibition building. All were looking towards the five figures standing behind a bright green ribbon line that ran along the entrance. Alfa, Berta, Helmia, Karina, and Hendri, Tiara's uncle. The host who sounded so passionate in delivering the event added to the vibrancy with boisterous praise in the ears.


After making a brief oration, there was the voice of the host who loudly guided the guests to count down. When the count reached number one, the five men together cut the ribbon in front of them as a sign that the exhibition had officially opened. The sound of applause and the flashes of camera flash whipped everywhere.


Tiara was not far behind the five people with a faint look. He watched with his heart ready to see the scene in front of him. Alfa's familiarity with Karina that really makes it crowded. He knew it was only drama, but, ah, Tiara was really like a teenager who was feeling blind jealousy when he saw his lover was close to another woman.


Alfa was stunned as her random looking gaze finally found Tiara's dim-eyed bead. He felt guilty for letting his wife be uncomfortable. The man could read clearly, the look on Tiara's face showing annoyance and fatigue. It felt like he was hugging his wife right then and there to give her some peace, but Helmia's hand that was gripping her wrist jolted him.


Her chest rumbled as Karina's arm was held by her mother, showing affection to the public for their intimacy.


“Congratulations yes Alfa. My mom was happy for the opening of this show. Mama hope, you decide quickly, when will you start joining your papa,” he hoped. “And also, mama is very much expecting this relationship between you two .. the better,” he said.


Alfa looked away, looking at Tiara who was now looking down.


“Alfa ...” Helmia jerked her hand until the man looked back at his mother.


“I still have business, Mama please enjoy your time here.” Alfa said with a forced smile and passed from the place, leaving Helmia and Karina who had been silent. The man then looked back at Tiara with teary eyes. He knew for a fact that his wife was trying under pressure to keep showing that she was doing well behind her pale face.
