Addiction to Mother Step

Still reluctant

Rudy put his phone back on the dresser after several attempts to contact Nio, but unfortunately there was no answer.

"Not in the lift." Rudy who chose to switch to the closet to wear clothes.

"Do I want to make you some tea?" Tanya Rena offered.

"Maybe, too, we can sit in the back garden to enjoy a cup of warm tea." Rudy smiled faintly, then began to move towards the door of his room.

"I wait in the garden" he said flatly as he opened the door and walked out.

Leaving Rena who was still sitting on the edge of the bed, Rena was speechless looking at the departure of her husband who seemed very indifferent, even since returning home earlier, not once did she kiss Rena even though it was just a kiss on the forehead. Rudy's attitude was completely flat, showing absolutely no homesickness to his wife.

Rena could only sigh, then finally got up from her seat and went out to the kitchen.

Languidly, Rena continued to stir two cups of tea she made, then served them on the table on the back porch of the house.

"It's the tea." Rena said slowly.

"Thank you." Rudy began to smile briefly and began to brew tea made by Rena.

"Ren, I have something to tell you." Said Rudy while putting his tea cup back on the table.

"What is mas?"

"In the next few months, it's likely that I'll often go out of town on business."

"Huh?! Did ya? Aren't you going home?"

"I'll definitely be home, but I can't be long, at least two days, after that I'll be gone again."

"Hmm, is that it?" Rena also began to look down a little lethargic.

"Aren't you a problem?" Ask Rudy calmly.

"Why don't you take me along with Rudy's mas? At least I can still serve the mas and help prepare all the needs of the mas." Rena Reveal.

Rena thought, if she could go with her husband, it would make it easier to avoid Nio, even forget about him. That way, the feeling of love that has just grown, can soon be extinct until things do not happen again out of control as before. Because actually, Rena still wants to try to be loyal to her husband, it's just that a few days ago, at the time of the incident, she really had no power to escape from such a great turmoil.

"Can't Rena. I'll spend a lot of time outside the hotel, if you come, there you will be bored. After all, you also know one of the reasons we got married, so that Nio can feel again the affection of a mother, and not be too lonely in this house. But if you come along, doesn't it make no difference to him?" Rudy.

Rena was silent, but the intention of her heart to follow was none other than that she did not return to make mistakes with Nio, and returned loyal to her husband. But it was Rudy who indirectly seemed to encourage Rena and Nio to continue to be trapped in difficult situations.

"I beg to understand Rena, this is solely for you, so that you can live comfortably and meet all your needs." Add Rudy again.

"Hmm well mas, I wouldn't force it if my presence wasn't needed there too much."

"I need you Rena, but Nio needs you more as his new mother. Have you forgotten what you promised him? You promised you'd always be there for him, You'd always hear his grievances, you remember that?"

"Yes, Nio does need me more than you do. But if you know, if she needs me not as a mother figure, but rather....." Rena murmured softly in her heart.

"Why are you silent? Do you disagree with my words?"

"No mas, I agree and I understand." Rena also finally showed her sweet smile even though the smile was just compulsion.

Before long, Rudy's phone rang, Rudy quickly grabbed the phone he kept in his pants pocket.

"It's from Nio." His chirps quietly while directly answering the call.

"What's calling me pa?" Nio asked flatly as soon as he realized Rudy had answered his call.

"Where are you? Still haven't come home from college?"

"It's my mom, I'm home. Why?"

"Home home? Where's?" Asked Rudy who immediately scrunched his forehead.

"I'm just getting home, now on the stairs, going to the room."

"Oh yeah?? Come here for a minute!"

"Come???" Nio scrunched his forehead.

Hearing that, Nio's two eyes suddenly rounded perfectly.

"Have you come home??!!" Ask who looks surprised.

"Yes, come here!"

Rudy ended his call just like that, Nio glanced briefly at the door that connects between the middle room and the back porch of the house. Nio also stepped quickly towards the place where Rudy and Rena had been sitting.

"Pa??!!" He said as soon as he found Rudy who had sat with Rena who was beside him.

"Oh Nio, hmm come sit down." Rudy said as he welcomed Nio's arrival.

At that time Nio still seemed a little tense, especially at that time he was finally able to meet with Rena, the woman he so longed for. Nio stared briefly at Rena, but it seems that at that time Rena was still reluctant to look at her. Rena chose to continue to lower her gaze while holding her cup of tea.

"Nio, why shut up? Come sit!" Pinta Rudy again.

"Oh, hmm ok." He said, who still seemed a little nervous while directly sitting next to Rudy.

"When did you come home?"

"It wasn't long, maybe about an hour ago."

"Hm."

"Nio, papa wants to take you and mom out to dinner tonight." Rudy to the Point.

"Eat night outside?" Nio again glanced at Rena who still did not want to look at her.

"Yes, you can, right?"

"It could be, but you two better be the ones leaving!" Answer Nio slowly.

"Why is that?"

"Papa just came home from out of town, I'm sure papa's wife needs more time to be alone with papa." Replied Nio who was trying to be calm.

Hearing that, it finally made Rena a little provoked until she began to glance at Nio.

"Aaaah not so, don't talk that way. She's your mother now, so please don't try to dodge anymore." Refer to Rudy who still does not know anything that has happened between Nio and Rena.

"Again, the next few months, papa will spend more time traveling out of town. So please don't refuse papa's invitation." Add Rudy again.

Nio was silent for a moment, then started to sigh deeply.

"Hmm ok." Answer Nio at last.

Hearing that, Rudy finally smiled with satisfaction.

"Ok, tonight we go together, ok!"

"Hmm no need, I'm going with my own car." Answer Nio.

"Yes, it's up to you."

Nio just nodded.

"Is there any more?"

"That's all."

"Then I want to go back to my room."

"Don't you want to enjoy the twilight with a cup of tea your mother made?" Rudy asked as if to offer,

Again Nio glanced at Rena who still looked indifferent to him, sad feelings came back to him when Rena became indifferent to him. But again and again he did not want to force himself on Rena.

"Not for today, pa!" The answer is then, which immediately went away just like that.

...Seriate......
