Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]

25

Today felt so exhausting. More than usual. My plan after I get home, I have to sleep. Unfortunately, my plan didn't go smoothly. Shortly after I put the car into the garage, another car stopped in front of the gate and someone called out to me. Hearing that, of course, I went straight to him. Damnit damnit! He is Robi. Bod*h I don't recognize his voice.

"You following me?" ask me without further ado.

"Are you okay?" ask without answering my question.

"certain. Now you can go," I said as I pulled the gate.

"Hey, wait!" Robi held my hand, I immediately threw it away.

"What's wrong? Money trouble? Yes, I always forget to ask. What do you mean send the money? Reminds me of my debt last month?"

"No. That money is for your living expenses."

"I've been working, no need to send again. I'll return it at once my debt."

"Forgot that debt, Lena! I've already cut it."

"Just kid! Debt to debt. I'll definitely pay you."

"Len, why do you have to leave the house? Who will look after you if you live alone?" The question made me squint.

"You think I'm an SD kid? What do you care about me? Just think of your wife!" I said with heightened emotions.

Really, I hate my own mother and this man in front of me. Robi forcefully pulled my body and hugged it tightly. As hard as I tried to escape, but the stronger my efforts the stronger the embrace.

"I still love you so much, Lena. Not mama. I would give him any money because I thought it was for you too, but if you leave there, I won't give him any more money" Robi said.

"What the fuck, anyway? Release him! Whether you give me money or not is none of my business! She's your wife, your responsibility! Let go of me now!" I still rebel.

"I won't let go before you agree to go home" he said, tightening his arms. My body started to hurt, the hug was too strong.

"I'm not going back there anymore!"

"Then allow me to keep sending you money every month." He still insisted.

"What the fuck, anyway? I don't want to! I'm not your son!"

"Take it as an expression of my apology" he said softly. She hugged me while rubbing my hair and kissed my head for a while.

"Curtain! Unhand me!" I managed to escape from his arms. His look looked lovely. But I have no pity on him at all. I closed the gate and entered my room without looking at him at all.

"Indeed he thought everything would be finished with the money? Basic man g*la!" my thinking.

After washing my face, I lay myself on my throne of greatness, my beloved bed.

Ting! One incoming message I received.

Dwi : Lena, can I see you now?

Alena: I'm tired mas, can it be tonight? Maybe tomorrow at the office.

Mas Dwi didn't return my message again. I suspected that he would come straight to my hostel. I just want to rest for a while, can't I?

Ting! One more message came in, this time Mas Dwi sent a photo. The photo shows me being hugged by Robi in front of the gate.

Mas Dwi: Can you explain this photo? He was the guy in front of your house, right?

The deg! Who took this photo? Then the culprit lives near here?

Alena: Who did you get that photo from?

Mas Dwi: I don't know either, the number is foreign. I tried to send a message but it wasn't sent. So, who is that guy exactly?

What do I have to answer? If I told you she was my ex-boyfriend, it would make Mas Dwi angry. However, I also couldn't possibly acknowledge him as my father. Is it time for me to be honest?

Maybe it feels too long I reply, Mas Dwi sent one more message.

Mas Dwi: Is it too hard to tell? Is she your lover? Or your ex?

It seems too easy to read. I was a little afraid of accepting the situation. I realized I was wrong not to tell everything from the beginning. I was afraid that after this Mas Dwi would leave me. I hope my decision to be honest with her wasn't a mistake.

Alena: I'll be here in 15 minutes. I'll tell you everything from the beginning.

..

"What do you want to tell me? Please don't hide anything else! I don't want to constantly misunderstand you," said Mas Dwi. I took my breath slowly, I gathered up the courage to tell my family this disgrace.

"I'm sorry before, I hope you understand why I'm hiding my problem. It all started when my father died, ...."

I told him everything, starting from the death of my father, my failed school, I had a girlfriend named Robi, then continued my mother who became my own girlfriend's affair, and then, until I ran away from home and met Irvan.

"Well, sorry. Too embarrassing to tell. If after this I don't want to know me anymore, I won't force it" I said.

Throughout the story, Mas Dwi did not interrupt at all. He watched every word that came out of my mouth. But still, I don't know what he's thinking. His expression is too hard for me to understand.

"So, who knows your problem besides Irvan?" asked Mas Dwi after we were silent for a while. I'm shaking.

"There is no Mas. I keep everything tight," I replied honestly. Mas Dwi let out another long breath.

"Come here!" he opened his hand. I approached, then he hugged me gently.

"You were bod*h once! Strongest!" mas Dwi. His voice sounded a little hoarse. Is she crying?

"Do you think you're a tough superhero? Do you think your heart is as strong as steel?" ask Dwi again. I can't answer it, but my dam of tears isn't enough anymore, both spilling out at the same time.

"Marry me! I will make you happy, will be your loyal listener and get you out of all your problems" he said, making my tears flow even more.

My chest feels tight. I'm so moved. Far from my shadow. Didn't expect Mas Dwi to accept me right away without too many reasons let alone questioning the authenticity of my story.

"Can I kill your ex-boyfriend?" The question surprised me.

"Maas ...." I let go of his embrace and looked up at his face. He did not cry, perhaps was arrested.

"Hahh .. If I had known your story from the beginning, he might have been battered that day" he said. Then he looked at me and held both of my cheeks.

"You are so bod*h! How could you have been lied to for so long?" tanyanya while wiping my tears with her thumb. I just shook my head. Then he clenched my body again and gently rubbed my back head.

..

In the office, things are getting worse. At least in my eyes. They began to openly gossip about me even though they knew I was around them. Very good, they knew that I would not dare to reprimand.

"Ssttt .. sstttt ...." Tasya called me from her desk. I looked too. "Are you busy?" tanyakanya. We may be only one and a half meters away.

"It just so happened to be sorted out. What's up?" my question was to turn the chair around and face the desk. He got up from his desk and sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry I've always been quiet, but honestly I don't believe the rumors. Can you tell me a little bit of the truth?" he half whispered. I let out a breath.

"Ah, well I'll tell you a little. Actually I now live alone in the hostel, not living with my parents anymore. The problem is the man who came to my hostel, it's not my room. Because it just so happens that my boarding house is mixed, it can be women or men." I explain it briefly. I hope my explanation is enough. I hope he doesn't ask too many questions.

"Oh so. Thankfully I don't believe it" he said. "Then do you know who did it?" ask again. I'm shaking.

"I don't know, but I'm still in the process of finding out. Oh yeah, you know who all this gossip about me is coming from? Maybe I can find out more."

"I don't know for sure either. I first knew it was from the production section, Mas Adi. After I asked who it was from, he said from our office but he didn't know his name" Tasya explained.

"His own?" manya curious.

"Well that's the problem, Mas Adi just said that the one who told him was a girl. I asked him more details, he doesn't remember the reason. Impossible right?"

"Yes too. Ah yes, no papa. I'll find out again. Thanks a lot!"

"Oh yes, I want to ask you one more thing," he said a little hesitantly.

"What's that?"

"What is your relationship with Mr. Dwi?"

"Ngghhh .. it ..." a question that is a little difficult to answer.

"We're getting married soon. Just wait for the invitation!" replied Mas Dwi who was suddenly behind us. Spontaneous me and Tasya immediately stood up.

"Eh? Ng ... Mr. Dwi, sorry," said Tasya who then immediately misbehaved. "Sorry sir, it's not meddling."

"Yes, it's okay. With the rumors circulating now, it is not strange if you ask that. Take it easy, we will get married soon and all the gossip will subside," said Mas Dwi, smiling.

"Ah, yes Sir. Hope everything is done!" said Tasya who then returned to his desk.

"Married?" There was a voice of a woman behind us. As soon as we looked, the woman just came out of my room. Reyna's. Why should he run like a frightened man?
