Don't Separate Me

I'm capable

The more he loved his wife, the more Burhan felt. He felt it was not wrong to choose a woman to accompany his life. Burhan promised himself that he would always make his wife happy no matter what.

Ever since Burhan's warning, Burhan's mother hasn't spoken much. Although it still seemed obvious on her face that she was very dislikeful of Salma, but at least the hurtful speech was not heard by Salma anymore. Burhan's mother doesn't want her favorite son to leave her again just because of a woman. So he let Salma live quietly in his house.

However, with silence Burhan's mother did not consider that Salma existed. He never mentioned Salma's existence. Just looking at Salma's face didn't seem right.

"What are you talking about Mama? Why do I rarely hear Mama's harsh words now? Almost never." Ask Salma.

"I'm just giving Mama a warning, if Mama still meddles in our lives, we're leaving this house." Answer Burhan.

"You know now I'm just sad, not hurt. You know why" Salma said in frustration.

Burhan shook his head, not knowing what Salma meant.

"With Mama being quiet like this, I feel like Mama doesn't think I'm in this family. Now Mama's just staring at my face. Unlike my mother who likes to be angry with me. Although I know Mama does not like me, but at least Mama thinks I am in this family. And Mama wants to look at me even with a look of her hatred." Salma Bright.

"That means I'm wrong? Sorry!" Burhan admitted his mistake.

"You're not wrong, baby! I know you did all this to defend me." Salma smiled.

Burhan held Salma in his arms.

"Love you baby! I'm lucky to have a husband like you who always supports and listens to me." Salma said in Burhan's decapitation.

"I should be grateful, and grateful to have a wife like you. Who always thinks positively despite being hurt." Burhan.

"Yes. Yes tomorrow. I still want to spend time with my beloved wife." Burhan said he was back in Salma.

"When has my husband been this pampered?" Canda Salma's.

"Since I realized that I love my little wife so much." The joke back BUrhan.

They laugh together. At least their laughter could erase the slight pain they were currently feeling. Although Burhan's mother never approved of their relationship until the time she was married, Salma always strengthened her heart and endured all of her mother-in-law's behavior. Salma felt even sadder because after the warning from Burhan, her mother-in-law was more silent. Salma had rarely heard the abuse from her mother-in-law.

Burhan always listened and supported whatever Salma wanted. Burhan also agreed not to leave his parents. Because Salma was sure, her mother-in-law would love her someday.

Burhan's mother no longer paid attention to Salma.

"Ma?" Call Salma.

But her mother-in-law acted as if she did not hear a voice calling out to her. Salma was just silent in frustration. And back to the room.

"I'd rather be chided by Mama every day. Indeed sick. But at least Mama thinks I'm in this family." Salma said to herself.

"Ahh what I really want. When Mama is always angry, I cry because of hurt by her words. It should be when Mama doesn't poach me anymore, I should be happy and relieved, but this is why I want to feel like Mama's always choking me." Salma said to himself.

Salma laid her body on the bed and felt how frustrated she was right now. And thought how she could talk to her mother-in-law.
