BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Child Adoption 3

"Ma, can you have a minute? I want to talk."

Prita approached Maya who was sitting down to relax and enjoy tea in the upstairs living room.

"Sit, Ta. What do you want to talk about?"

"Was it right back at school you said Daniel was adopted in front of Mama's friend?"

Maya undoes her tea intention. He was surprised Prita asked that.

"If you're surprised I know where, Daniel told you all."

Maya does not think that Daniel will understand the conversation he had with his friend.

"Daniel doesn't really understand adult language. But he'll ask if he hears a new vocabulary he wants to know."

"Daniel said Mama said she was the child Ayash adopted from Singapore."

Maya sighed, "Mama doesn't mean that, Ta. Don't misunderstand me."

"Don't you like that, with Daniel in?" Prita's eyes glazed over. His chest felt tight and his heart ached.

"No, you misunderstood."

"What's this?"

Ayash, who had just returned from work and was secretly listening to the conversation his wife and mother immediately approached them. He saw Prita who had begun to shed tears.

"Why, Ma?"

"This is Prita misunderstanding Mama."

"Well, you met your mama's friend in front of Daniel and Dean's school. He asked me why Daniel was such a bule, unlike you. So mom said that she's the kid you adopted from Singapore."

"Mama.... "

"But mama's intention was not that Daniel was not a grandson of mama, mama still loved all the grandchildren of mama. My mom just wanted our conversation to end quickly. So those words just came out of my mama's mouth."

Prita, who can't stand running into the room, leaves Maya and Ayash.

"Ma, that's too much."

"But Mom didn't mean it that way."

"Mama also didn't know that Daniel was listening to what we were talking about. Mama thought Daniel wouldn't understand our conversation 'cause he was a kid like Dean."

Ayash massaged his head, "Mommy doesn't feel sorry for Daniel, Mama's been treating him like this?"

"Mama this promise last time happened. My mom doesn't want to pick them up anymore either. Just let the driver or bodyguard pick you up so you don't talk carelessly."

"It looks like I'm going to take Prita and the kids to the apartment. Prita wouldn't be comfortable if Mama was like this."

"Byash! Mama said it was unintentional. Do you have to leave your lonely mama here?"

"Ma, I already have my own family that I have to protect. If you're among those who hurt my child or my wife, then I'll protect them from you."

"Brach!"

Maya furious. Ayash was being disrespectful in front of him. He left his mother after making her angry.

Ayash opened the door to his room. Slender. He didn't see Prita there.

"Print.... "

The sound of a shower lights up from the direction of the bathroom. Ayash approaches the bathroom direction because of the possibility that Prita is inside.

"Prime!"

Ayash sees Prita crying as she pleases under the shower. The clothes he wore were still complete. Soon he approached Prita's body while turning off the shower. Prita was crying. During the wedding, only now is Prita absorbed this. What being married to her was so painful that she looked so depressed.

"I'm sorry." said Ayash.

Ayash looked at Prita's face which looked sad. The tears that flowed mixed with water. He can see the wounds in Prita through the expression of his face.

"You have to dry your body so you don't catch a cold."

Prita was in his place. Ayash helps take off his clothes. Prita remained silent even though all her wet clothes had been removed. Ayash wears a kimono towel to cover Prita's plain body. Not to forget he also took off all his own clothes that came wet and replaced them with kimono towels.

Prita was silent. Ayash lifted her ala-ala princess, bringing his still sad wife back into the room. Ayash painstakingly dries Prita's hair using a hair dryer. Ayash understood, talking to Prita at this time is just a waste. He chose silence, showing his affection through deeds, not words.

Finished drying his hair and combing it neatly, Ayash laid Prita on the bed. He rubbed his wife's face lovingly.

"If you are feeling sad, please share your sadness with me. Don't you sniff yourself. You have to remember, I am your husband who is ready to share his grief with you."

Prita's tears are melting again. Today she became very melancholy. When Livy was hurt, she cried. When she heard that Daniel was called an adopted son, she cried as well. Only crying can express his feelings.

Prita is the type of woman who prefers to harbor feelings. He never told me if his life was actually very depressed, especially because Mama Maya who always took issue with Daniel. Ayash must have been unaware of that, too. He would definitely think his wife had been fine since he always put a smile in front of her. If told a story, surely what is told is only funny and fun things, not about his sadness or his concern for three toddlers. Prita never complained.

"You sad?"

Prita nodded, he could only nod. Her tears continued to flow looking at her worried-looking husband.

"Is your heart hurting?"

Prita nodded again with a sobbing that began to sound.

"Because of Mama, huh?"

Prita could no longer hold back her cries. She cried sobbing as she put her face on the chest of her husband's field.

"I can't accept Mama said Daniel's adopted son. She's my biological child, I've conceived and given birth to her."

Ayash was relieved, Prita was already willing to talk. The scariest thing for men is when women are angry but silent. That means his heart pain is huge. When a woman begins to express things that make her sad and sick, it means she is willing to be understood and willing to forgive.

"Yes.... I'm sorry for not being able to prevent you from listening to such hurtful things."

"Daniel is innocent. No one can say anything bad about him."

"Of course."

"Daniel may be a child now, not yet understand there are people who do not like it. But gradually he will understand. She must be wondering why she's being treated differently."

"I will try not to let that happen. I will try to love Daniel so much that he doesn't care about people."

"You don't feel sad anymore. From tomorrow, we'll stay in the apartment."

Prita stared intensely at Ayash. She doesn't believe what her husband says. Actually it was very in accordance with his wishes.

"I think you'll be calmer if you stay away from Mama. So, I'll take you guys to the apartment. Don't cry anymore."
