When the One I Love Betrays
KYKB 121

Murti firmly held Haris hand which looked very angry at his eldest son. He also did not understand why his son could do such a thing to Sila. Murti also could not deny the fact that what helped Hadi to the point like now was Sila. If Sila did not finance Hadi's college, then her position in the company where Hadi worked would never change. With the High School diploma that Hadi had at that time he would only remain in a position as administrative staff could not possibly be more than that.

But because Sila wants Hadi's career to develop. He was willing to work hard and even always took overtime in his company to be able to finance Hadi's college which was only taken for one year. And it cost him a lot because he had to take special classes. At that time, Sila was pregnant with Mika.

"Oh yeah, dad's still not well. Don't be so angry!" murti said in between his sobs. Her heart was also very sick to see her husband scolding her son, but Murti also did not blame her husband, because Hadi was already too outrageous.

"Then should I how Mom? this child does not know himself, does not know in profit. If you forget what you've sacrificed for you, for our families. I'll remind you back!" sternly Haris who still does not want to give up resuscitating Hadi.

"At that time Sila was even three months pregnant, she came home carrying a leaflet from the university open to you, do you remember?" haris asked Hadi who could only bow his head in front of Haris.

The Flashback

Less than five years ago, in the still modest house of Sila and Hadi. Not yet built up big. They don't have a car either. At that time Haris and Murti were staying at the house of Sila and Hadi.

"Assynnya!" hello, I just got home from the office.

"Waalaikumsalam, have you gone home son?" ask Haris after answering the greeting from Sila.

Please nod and then greet her two in-laws.

"Waalaikumsalam, overtime again? how the hell Sila, you already said, do not often overtime. If you stay late who takes care of your husband?" murti asked with a displeased face.

"Already Mom!" sela Haris's.

"Sorry Mom!" please answer politely.

"Look, you just rest. Have you eaten yet?" tanya Haris is friendly.

"Not yet, I will take a shower first and meet Mas Hadi, after that I will eat!" said Sila then left Haris and Murti after getting a nod of the head from Haris.

After Sila moved away, Murti again nagged.

"Geez, keep overtime. Too bad Hadi, just eat the cooking mother. Try it if there's no mom, what's Hadi eating?" murti asked annoyedly at Sila.

"Mom, don't talk like that. Sila's career is good, we should support her. Besides son Sila who helped us finance Lia's school, and also Zain. Don't say that!" haris's reprimand to his wife.

Murti just clucked in annoyance, he was indeed unable to deny all that. But he also wants Hadi, his son taken care of by his wife. Kan already have a wife, Murti time always saw Hadi take care of himself because Sila who was so busy working, leaving early in the morning and coming home late at night.

Inside her room, Please smiled as she just entered. Please see Hadi tidying up his clothes and also Sila's clothes.

"Buck...!" please Please.

"Darling to be home, you must be tired. I'll have some warm water for you to take a shower?" ask Hadi who directly touched the soft head of Sila.

Please nod and smile, but when Hadi is going to the bathroom. His hand was held by Sila.

"Mas, here!" said Sila while submitting the Hadi college registration form.

I received the form and read it.

"Honey, but this does not cost a little. How's it possible?" tanya Hadi did not believe Sila enrolled herself in a special class with a fee that was more than the usual tuition.

"That's so that your career can develop, I always say I'm tired of being constantly told this and that's because I'm just a lowly employee, ordinary staff. If you go to college again, you can get promotions and higher positions. I won't be asked again!" clearly Sila conveyed her reasons for financing Hadi's college.

During this time Hadi often complained about his work on Sila. Therefore, Sila who felt sorry for her husband deliberately raised more money, by working overtime every day in order to enroll Hadi in college.

Hadi hugged his wife. He was very moved, Sila has worked very hard for her career to get better again. Hadi immediately kissed Sila's forehead.

"Mas, I haven't had a shower!" said Sila who avoids Hadi's kiss on her forehead.

"It's okay, baby, thank you so much!" said Hadi who hugged Sila again.

Since that day, Sila has been working harder. He sometimes even brought food from home to save money. As much as possible Please will not buy food outside even with a makeshift side dish but he does not forget the nutritional intake for the content. Although a simple side dish he always consumes vegetables and protein even though only from tempeh and vegetable spinach, almost every day only that in the consumption of Sila. But she's okay as long as her husband can get a better job. Karina who knows very well how Sila struggles for one year saves money for the sake of Hadi's college and for the cost of her labor.

Until one year later, four months after Mika was born, Hadi graduated and was promoted at her workplace. Since then, her life has been better.

Flashback Off

"You can forget all that, but I can't. You remember not how every day Sila only ate clear vegetables and tempe for provisions, but she still gave you money to be able to eat on campus, he said, so that when others eat well on campus you do not just shut up and look. Remember all that Hadi!" snapped Haris whose eyes were already red from being so angry.

Murti had even sobbed, he was also very sorry because he had been behaving badly to Sila. Hearing everything Haris said that reminded how Sila struggles for their family. Murti was very sorry.

Hadi was also the same, after the clash of his father he only realized that as long as what was said by his father was true. He wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for Sila. Hadi rubbed his face rough.

'Stupid me!' batin Hadi riled.
