When I Give Up
Chapter 91 A Bad Hunch
The mourning day is over. All members of Maher Abdullah's family are preparing to return to their respective activities. No exception with Yudha, the man was very early in the morning ready to go to the company.
In front of the glass he pegs himself. Ensuring the neatness of her clothes and her readiness to start today. After finishing with his routine, he went to his room to talk about something very important.
He slowly opened the door of the middle-aged woman's room after knocking on her several times.
"Yudha, are you going to work?" ask the mother who is sitting on her tongue. It seems that the woman had just done morning worship, namely Dhuha prayer.
"Yes ma" answered Yudha, sitting in front of her.
"Ma, I want to say something, is it okay?" he continued, grabbing her hand and kissing her.
"Just tell me, what's wrong?"
"My confession at that time to have married Selfina is true, ma."
Merry looked surprised but immediately smiled. He had actually expected it after seeing the behavior of the two of them these few days.
"Why did you marry the son of a man in hiding, son?"
"Mama, I love Selfina so much and want to have her but the Company's rules don't allow us to be united if we're both still in the same shade" Yudha replied with a straight look into her eyes.
"But why are you hiding it to your mom too? Do you think this mama is someone else?"
"I'm sorry ma. I'm mistaken. I think mama would agree more if Selfina with Yudhi. That's why I didn't ask you for permission" Yudha replied feeling uneasy. He kissed the hand of the woman who had given birth to him many times.
"Hum, it's not like that, son. You know Yudhi since childhood has been tantrums and likes to release excessive emotions if you want something. For that mom always try to keep her feelings so that she stays calm and feels loved."
"But mama didn't expect that with Selfina, she was really a good fit. And my mom apologized for not being able to read the situation that made her expect more from that woman."
"Mama is not wrong. I was wrong for not being honest with my mom and everyone. If I had acknowledged this relationship in the past, it probably wouldn't be like this" Yudha said with a sigh of heaviness.
Yes, over the past few days, her relationship with Selfina has gotten a little further away. Yudhi did not give him a chance at all with his wife in the house. Until finally he was forced to tell the woman he loved so much to go home and not have to be in the house during their mourning.
He did not want to see Yudhi so aggressively approaching his wife while he had to succumb to his sister for keeping the relationship good and safe in the house.
And now, Selfina had never received her call because she was angry with him. He was ignored and may have been considered dead by the woman he had married.
"Mama apologizes on behalf of your sister" Merry said after a long silence.
"Yudhi got this disease since he was 3 years old. At first he was as healthy and active as any other child. But the psychic condition of mama at that time turned bad when your father married his best friend, Mama Hanum. Mama so spilled her frustration and anger at Yudhi who ended up bad on her. He became angry and tantrums." Merry shrank her tears that just suddenly came out of her eyelids.
"Mama doesn't know how to respond to this attitude of your sister Yudh. He found the figure of Selfina as a perfect figure in his eyes so he did not want to let go for you son," he continued with a tight chest.
Yudha took a deep breath and then exhaled. He was also worried about this. At home he is not free to show his relationship with Selfina while at the Company it is also like that. It went wrong he made.
"Mama, can I ask you something?" yudha asked in a soft voice.
"Tell me son" replied Merry smiling.
"I want to move to an apartment with Selfina."
"Mama, plis." Yudha folded her hands in front of her chest pleading.
"I feel sinful towards the Selfina I have married but I cannot make her happy ma," Yudha said with a clear face.
The man knew that this might hurt his mother a lot but what could be done, he could not be on the roof with his sister who also loved the same woman as him.
Merry remained silent.
"You'll be able to relate to your wife very well in Yudh's company. From morning till night you are always together. If you are at home, you will hide from Yudhi" said the mama kekeh.
"Where could it be ma, Yudhi never gave me a chance with my own wife. That's not true ma'am," Yudha replied beginning to get upset.
"What if Yudhi gets suspicious and looks for you?" ask Merry.
"Mama, let it go. He must be taught not to think about things that do not belong to him" said Yudha with a face that was still upset.
"Yudhi is an adult. And that can no longer be allowed. Mama should not be more destructive with things like this," explained Yudha and immediately kissed back the back of the hand of the mother then said, "I leave ma. Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh." Merry answered and then pondered over the words of the son.
So lonely would this house be if Yudha and Selfina did not live in this house.
Aaa Yudhi, why can you love your sister's wife?
The woman opened her face and folded it together with her alphabet. He had to get out of his room and find a way to distract Yudhi and his feelings from Selfina.
"You two have breakfast?" he asked Yudhi and Yundha who he saw facing food at the table.
"Yes ma," answered Yundha while serving the mother.
"Sir Yudha drank only milk. Not hungry, he said," the girl continued.
"Oh, is that trus? Yudhi, where are you going?" Merry looked at the second son with a peeking look. For the first time he saw his son performing in a full work suit.
"I also want to work at ma's company," Yudhi replied with a big smile.
"Uhuk Uhuk!" Merry immediately coughed.
"I'm cool, right ma? I can also be better than Brother Yudha. So do not doubt it ma," said Yudhi again with a very high confidence.
"Yes, I'm proud of you." Merry smiled uncomfortably.
He doesn't know what else to say. And now he felt a bad feeling would happen if Yudhi dared to appear in the Company and disturb the relationship of Yudha and also Selfina.
