You're Not a Figurant
Ch 48 - So Split?

"Mas, don't be like this. Release me..."

"I don't want to!! Don't stayin' me yank... Please, please..." Alex hugged Khansa tightly. Seeing Alex like that made Khansa shed tears.

Why is Alex like this? When he made his decision. Why not from before? When his heart was still weak and filled with it? Should he give her a second chance and forgive the painful things Alex did to her? But if it's like that, is there any guarantee that Alex won't hurt her again?

"Mas, don't be like this..."

"Al, don't act like this. This attitude of yours will affect your wife's emotions. Pa, take your son out." Suddenly, my mother slid into the room. It seemed like the entire family was listening to their drama from earlier and were impatient because there was no settlement, both of them were too stubborn.

Papa tries to get Alex out of the room, but Alex refuses. He hugged Khansa's body. Seeing Alex like that, who would have thought that he was a 28-year-old adult. Alex's behavior is more like a child defending his toys desperately. Totally childish.

Papa does not succeed in persuading Alex, eventually Khansa's father spoke up. He persuaded Alex. Whether exposed to hypnosis, Alex would obey the words of Dad and get out of the room voluntarily.

Khansa stared at all the scenes in confusion and embarrassment. How not, their whole conversation was witnessed by the family. They should have been able to get it all done, but because Alex was stubborn in the end it became like this.

"Darling, you want to split up and leave that fool behind? Let's leave him. A fool like him deserves to be left behind. The men in our family are all stupid. Let's let's keep the women away from them" Mama said persuasively.

Khansa looked at the middle-aged yet extremely beautiful and elegant lady in front of her in confusion. He just watched, without daring to ask. In that room now there were only three of them. Himself, the woman and the mother.

"Don't say it like that Deck. I'm not sincere that our children are separated..."

"Well, it's okay, ma'am. Instead of living with that fool, make it hurt. Mending just separate. Who has a husband like him? Foolish and not kebangetan pekanya. It had made his wife suffer, so still unconscious. Now cry, what's it for?" Mama said impassively, while Mom tried to cool her heart.

"It can't be that way Deck. When children fight, we as parents should be able to mediate. Don't even support their wrong decision."

"I will support my daughter's decision. Even if they split up, she will still be my daughter. And this little one remains my grandson." Mama turned to Khansa and stroked her stomach gently, "I don't care about that fool. It is the result of his own actions. Let him taste the fruit of his deeds."

Khansa still stared in confusion. He could no longer hold back his curiosity, without him noticing that question was popping out of his mouth, "Who?"

Getting such a question, made Mama turn her face and focus on looking at Khansa. His gaze looked very soft. The tears began to appear on his face. He held Khansa's hand gently. A warm smile on his lips.

Khansa is speechless. His feelings are mixed. Shocked, ashamed, moved and happy to be one. He's been wanting to get to know Alex's family for a long time, and today he's had the chance to do it. The welcome was so warm, so different from what he had imagined. He thought Alex's family would reject him, because the man was from among the people, but it was unexpected that he got this kind of treatment. This made Khansa unconsciously shed tears. His crying turned into a frenzy. The surprised mother immediately hugged Khansa.

"Well, why are you crying, baby? Is there something wrong with your mother's words? Mama's sorry, cup-cup don't cry..."

"Huu... Huuo..." Khansa cried, while her hands hugged Mama back. I watched with teary eyes. Her heart was happy, because her daughter was accepted by her husband's family.

"Why is he now known?? I wanted to know Ma-mama for a long time..." Khansa said in a word. Hiding her cries in the arms of her mother-in-law.

"Shhh... We want to know you too, baby. We just found out where you are. That idiot hid you from us. I'm sorry baby, our son is so stupid, sshhhh..." Like a child, Khansa cried in Mama's arms while expressing her complaints. Instead of cooling Khansa's heart, Mama acted otherwise.

"He's evil Ma... He likes to come and go... Not telling where it's going... She knew I was jealous of Diana, but she was always nearby. It always hurts me..." Khansa said in a stammer.

"Yes, baby, yeah... But being close to Diana was not his fault. Mom told him to. Why are you jealous of Diana? Their relationship was only as brother-in-law. Diana's getting married to my oldest son..."

"They used to date Ma... I think their relationship until now was like that. He never explained anything. Even when I cried and asked, why is our house next door? He simply replied that he had to look after Diana without explaining that Diana was his sister-in-law. My heart hurts Ma. Can Mama imagine?"

"Geez my dear, what a pity..." Khansa let out all her complaints to Mama, while Mama looked at it in amazement. He never saw his daughter like that. Khansa has always been independent, tough and hid all her problems from everyone. Just this time I saw the fragile side of a Khansa. Which brings out all his complaints to the woman he first met. Honestly, I'm jealous and happy to see it. At least the relationship of in-laws and son-in-law was not as he had imagined. He imagined Khansa's in-laws would not accept Khansa, due to their differences in social status, but fortunately that did not happen. Mother shed her tears.

Khansa has again issued her uneg-uneg. Alex's unannounced departure, causing him to almost lose Alkha. Mom listened, but at the same time nagged. Scolded his son's insensitive attitude.

"So how? Are you two separated? Mama will support all your decisions, baby..." Khansa and I looked at Mama with their mouths open. Didn't expect to hear such a thing from the mouth of the woman who had given birth to a Yohan Alexander was ⁇ ️
