Amara Wants to Have a Mom

49. Between Hate and Love

"Mara, open the door, son! Mama wants to talk, "call Anika from behind the door of the room that was locked from the inside.

Yes, Amara who was feeling sad then went into the room and locked the door. She could not believe Anika could snap at her like that, Amara thought Anika no longer loved her as usual.

Moreover, Amara was also confused after hearing Lira's confession earlier. He who knew nothing, of course, felt strange about this situation.

Was that woman really her real mother? But why did he only come now after such a long time of disappearing?

Amara was very sad and chose to lie on the bed, her tears kept dripping considering the incident just now.

At the moment she did not want to see Anika, she was unwilling to open the door until Alvian returned from the restaurant. He will seek answers from the father.

"Remara baby, Mama please son, please open the door!" lirih Anika felt desperate. He knew he had made a mistake that he did not intentionally, but the accident even made Amara stay away from him.

Because Amara did not open the door for her, Anika also chose to leave the place. With a giant step he entered the room and bent his feet on the side of the bed.

Anika herself never wanted this to happen, she had tried to keep Amara away from the ape demon but her efforts instead boomerang for herself.

She fears Amara is angry and hates her after finding out that her birth mother is still there. Anika does not want Amara to choose the woman, however Anika is very fond of the boy.

Around three o'clock, Alvian had already arrived at Suherman's residence. The plan this afternoon is to take his wife and daughter for a walk and go home.

Alvian didn't feel good for too long staying at her in-laws' house. He felt less free to move, there was shame and awkwardness when he wanted to get close to his own wife.

However, Alvian's return was greeted with a sad gaze by Anika. The woman was lying on the bed with teary eyes staring at Alvian.

Of course the sight made Alvian astonished, he narrowed his eyes as he stepped over to Anika and bent his feet on the edge of the bed.

"Nika, why are you, baby? You sick?" alvian asked while sticking the back of his hand on Anika's forehead.

Anika did not reply, she just kept quiet while hugging her own body. He had thought about Lira's words earlier.

Did they both meet at the restaurant? Then what are they doing there? Did Alvian go back to his ex-wife?

Anika does not know inexplicably why her mind cannot be compromised.

Of jealousy?

Of course, which wife would not be jealous if she found out that her husband was secretly meeting a woman he hated so much.

"Darling, why shut up? What's going on?" alvian asked again while wiping the clear liquid that suddenly fell on the corner of Anika's eyes.

Anika shifted her body and removed Alvian's hand from her face. With her eyes blazing sharp, Anika stared at Alvian from head to waist and opened her voice. "Are you happy, Mom?"

Hearing that, Alvian frowned confusedly. "Of course happy, why?" ask Alvian back.

Instantly Anika carved a bitter smile, her chest suddenly ached to hear her husband's confession. Is Alvian really happy after being alone with his ex-wife.

"Why baby? The question is why is it so strange?" alvian added because Anika just kept quiet without answering.

"Nika, what's wrong with you? What the hell is going on with you? Don't confuse you, baby!" moaning Alvian while rubbing a rough face, her breathing sounds heavy thinking about what happened to Anika actually.

It was not usual for Anika to behave like this to him, it was like it was not Anika whom she knew before.

"I'm tired Mas, let me rest for a moment!" ketus Anika while grabbing a pillow and covering her face until invisible to Alvian.

Anika wanted to calm herself down for a moment, she still could not digest everything perfectly.

Seeing Anika like that, Alvian also chose to rise from his seat. He did not want to force Anika to talk, let his wife rest if she did not want to say anything to him.

Then Alvian entered the bathroom to clean himself, all day he was really tired after checking the finances of the restaurant and visiting the distributor of subscription materials.

The intention that had wanted to invite Anika out was extinct, where maybe she dared to express her wishes after seeing Anika who was not okay.

Fifteen minutes later, Alvian came out of the bathroom wearing only a towel that was coiled around his waist. But suddenly his forehead frowned when he found the mattress that was empty.

Where's Anika? Didn't he say he wanted to rest? The more Alvian came here the more confused to see his wife's strange behavior.

Alvian then opened the closet door quickly. After picking up the clothes, he put on it in a hurry. He did not even have time to comb his hair and chose to leave the room to look for the whereabouts of his wife.

But when he was about to go down the stairs, the corner of Alvian's eyes accidentally caught the presence of Anika who was standing on the balcony.

Alvian turned down the stairs and turned his steps towards the balcony. He was even more confused when he saw the tears of Anika who kept dripping while standing on the edge of the guardrail.

Without a second thought, Alvian grabbed Anika's arm and pulled her into a chest embrace. Alvian held her tightly while rubbing Anika's head gently.

"Don't do this, Nika! If there's anything please say to Mas, why hide everything alone?" lirih Alvian who also felt sad to see the state of his wife.

Instead of talking, Anika was sobbing in Alvian's chest. She beat her husband's chest blindly.

Aware of something thought by his wife, Alvian also chose to quietly enjoy the blow delivered Anika. Let her endure the pain so that Anika can release the burden from her heart.

"I hate you, Mom. I hate it" sobbed Anika in an irregular voice. He could no longer hide the sadness as he felt the warmth of Alvian's embrace.

"Yes, then what else?" hiss Alvian who continued to rub Anika's head with affection.

"I hate you, Mom. You are evil," Anika added. Alvian's chest until it's wet.

"Hm... Then?" Alvian still lures Anika to take out all the uneg-uneg in her heart.

"I-i..." Anika stammered when she wanted to say something to Alvian, her chest was very tight considering the snake's stealth speech.

"I what?" alvian asked as he lifted Anika's chin, the gazes of the two met for a while before Anika finally cut off their eye contact.

"I hate you anyway" Anika annoyed and pushed Alvian and ran into the room. Alvian could only stroke his wife's chest to see her strangeness.
