Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]

36

I just stayed here for a while, now I have to get everything done. I have to get back home. He said, before marriage is heavy temptation so there must be someone to take care of me. It sounds impossible, but I can't refuse. The parents are more experienced at this, so I comply. I don't want my marriage to fail because of my own selfishness.

Tok tok!

Someone knocked on my bedroom door, I already knew, it must be him.

Chequek.

"Please-" My words stopped. I thought the one who came was Mas Dwi, because he had promised to help me with the goods.

"Why did you come here?" just pissed. I wish I never saw his face again. Anyway, how did he know my room number?

"I'm sorry, I just want to talk for a minute" he said slowly.

"There's nothing to talk about anymore. My debt to you will be cut off every month" I told him. Yes, he is Robi.

"This is not a debt issue. I'll get rid of all your debts as long as you want to do what I ask this time."

"Do you think I'll listen? Please leave now before Mas Dwi comes!" expirku.

"Please, for the sake of my good name and my family!" said pleading.

"Hm? Repeatable? What was it, a good name? Family?" manya mock.

"I understand I've ruined your relationship with your mom, but-"

"But your good name is much more important because you are a respected person? That's howyou mean? Do you think poor people like us have no self-esteem so you can just lower them?" my answer is full of emotion.

"All this happened because your mother had no self-respect."

Plaque!

I slapped his left cheek hard. His mouth speaks like that. Although I hate my mother, but I am very angry if anyone thinks it is so low.

"Stop your filthy mouth, Robi!" my snapping. "Mama wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for knowing you were behind my back!"

"Curtain! Excuses! Your mother is a mur*h woman! He was willing to trade himself for money" he said, rubbing the left cheek I had just slapped

"Close your mouth! I'll make sure your fiancee knows everything soon" I said defiantly.

"Haha! It's hilarious! You seem to have forgotten that you're getting married soon. Do you want the Hermansyah family to know the disgrace of your family and to annul your marriage?" tanyanya while sharing a sly smile. I froze. He's right, if I expose his secret, then my family's disgrace will be exposed as well.

"Why silence, hm? Is that really what I said?" he said as he brought his face closer to my ear.

"Be a good boy! That's all I ask of you. Take care of my good name, I will also keep your good name. Ah, one more thing, your debt is paid off if you want to keep all these secrets. Understood?" she whispered as she flashed a sneaky, intimidating smile.

Then he left. I was still frozen and sitting on the front floor of the door. Actually I've calmed down and tried to forget what he did with my mother. His arrival this time actually made me remember everything and want to take revenge, but the truth is all this feels like a trap.

"Lena, why are you sitting here?" Without me knowing Mas Dwi was standing next to me and helping me wake up. "So I saw Robi's car, why did she come here?"

I was confused to see his face. All I feel now is guilt. Am I worthy to be his wife? Am I worthy to join his family? Why think about it now?

"Hey, what's going on?" tanyanya panic. I just shook my head.

"Sit down!" He pulled me to sit in the chair in front of the room. "Surely something has happened. What did he say?"

I shook my head again. My brain was filled with questions that had been unthinkable. My mind is filled with guilt. I think I've been missteps.

"Mas."

"Yes, tell me slowly!" soft door.

"Hm? Our wedding preparations are all done. To ask like that?"

"I think I was wrong, Mom. I didn't think long when I accepted your proposal."

"Whatchu mean? You sorry? We just take care of the administration tomorrow morning, why are you hesitating now? What did Robi say?"

"Mas, I don't want to destroy your family's good name. I don't want to because my arrival just ruined your family," I said as I bowed.

"Destroying? Vandalizing? What the hell is it? Please explain first!"

"If Robi were to expose my family's disgrace, it's possible that Mas's family would kick me right away."

"Your mother's mother means that?" tanya Mas Dwi made it clear. I also nodded.

"He won't break his own grave."

"But if someone else had dismantled it, how?"

"Can you think positively? Think about what's okay. Don't think of anything that doesn't happen!"

"But what happens?"

"Stttt! I love you, no matter what happens, I will fight for you. Understood?" he rubbed the back of my hand.

"But the Mas-family"

"No but-but again. Let's pack your things! We'll have to go to the boutique to try on your clothes."

"Alright," I said listlessly.

"Hey, did you have to marry me?" the question of Mas Dwi surprised me.

"Where might I have to? I love you too."

"I think I lost your spirit."

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'll try to focus more."

I went into the room and took out the things I had packed. Mas Dwi helped me move my things to the car. My car has been at Mama's since the day I stayed. So now I go home together with Mas Dwi.

"Don't think too much! Everything will be fine" said Mas Dwi before he started the car engine. I just smiled and nodded.

..

"Are you sure you're getting married soon?" mama asked when she had just finished her last mouthful.

"Hm .. of course," I replied as if. My appetite is gone. My hate is back and growing. Remembering the actions of Mama that now trapped me.

"See your mood has been bad since this morning. It's like not getting along with Dwi. Did something just happen?"

"It's nothing," I answered and took my plate to the dishwasher. Throw away the contents that are still a few spoons and then I wash the dishes.

"Well, how is it not spent?"

"The one."

Without giving any explanation, I went straight into the room. If you have faced your mother, it feels too much consideration. If the thing that made the trouble was not Mama, she might have run out in my own hands. Even though I once said rudely and even ran away from home, even though it was so painful, I still felt guilty acting like that to my biological mother.

I really am in a dilemma. Am I deciding too soon without thinking? Even if I cancel the wedding, it would be like repeating Mas Dwi's bitter experience for the second time. Is it possible that if it continues, the disgrace of my family will not be exposed and everything can go as if nothing happened? I was too afraid to accept the truth.
