Grandpa's Choice Man

Sulking

Since meeting Selvi, Rama became more emotional and irritable. Tiara does not yet know the exact cause of her change in attitude but she suspects that this has something to do with Selvi. Several times, Tiara watched Rama ignore calls from numbers that were not stored on his phone so Tiara was curious who was terrorizing her husband.

One night, a sassy mind was stirred up to pick up the call while Rama was bathing. Tiara did that because she was so distracted by Rama's phone ringing that it made it difficult to concentrate on the task. After making sure Rama was still bathing, Tiara picked up the phone.

"Rama, you finally answered my phone. Why are you so far away from me? Even if you already have a wife, I know how you still feel about me, right? He's just you making an escape, right?" ask Selvi on the phone.

Tiara just silently listened. Her ears heated up when she heard the word runaway. He also realized that their marriage was only an arranged marriage so he could not deny the possibility of Rama having another dream woman who had to be sacrificed. From the beginning, Rama explained that he only wanted to fulfill the mandate of his late father so that Tiara's chest increasingly rumbled to remember him.

"Why just shut up? Silence means to be. I miss you, my dear. For months, I waited for your news. Ii'm sorry. I'm so sorry to have played in the back. I realized that you were the only man I loved. I hope we can open a new leaf and I'll fix everything. If you don't want to divorce her, I'm willing to be the second one" Selvi persuaded, making Tiara's chest tight.

Watching Tiara glazed with a cell phone in her ear, Rama seizes and sees the number on her phone. Rama also became angry. He did not think his wife would answer Selvi's phone. Rama throws his cell phone into the bed and stares deeply at Tiara.

"I've told you many times that the call is not important and that you ignore my words. I don't like other people open my phone without permission especially to take calls that have been forbidden," snapped Rama very fierce.

"Sorry, Bang," Tiara's voice trembled.

"What did he say?" rama asked in an annoyed tone.

"It's nothing" Tiara answered in fear.

"Say!" rama snapped while shaking Tiara's shoulder.

"She said my brother still loved her and I was on the run. He also wanted brother. She is also willing to be a second wife" Tiara explained quickly and nervously.

"Do you believe?" rama asked increasingly curious about his wife's response.

Tiara just looked down. He could not answer Rama's question because he was still weighing his feelings. Believe it or not, but enough to make his heart torn. He became curious about the extent of their relationship until the woman wanted to be combined.

"Tiara, look me in the eye" forced Rama to raise Tiara's face.

Tiara shook her head as she closed her eyes.

"Near!" rama Urge.

Tiara obeyed Rama's words and immediately looked into his eyes. Her tears could no longer be held back and were hard to stop. He also did not understand what was being mourned until it felt this heavy.

"Do you believe him or me?" rama asked for Tiara's trust.

Tiara immediately wiped away her tears as she did not want to look fragile for too long.

"Either. There was no point in trusting that woman. But what should I believe in you too? You always shut yourself off from me. Three months is not a short time for us to adjust to each other. However, the reality is that we do not understand each other and know each other. If our marriage is about trust, should not just fulfill it but also have to take care of it? If it is not able, maybe it is better we just give up rather than delay disappointed and equally tortured," replied Tiara issued tired all this time.

Rama was stunned to hear Tiara's overwhelming answer in blasting his feelings. He did not expect the words would come out of his wife who had been silent with her attitude. He thought that Tiara would not care about his attitude because at the beginning of their marriage, Tiara was more burdensome to college and the marriage he agreed to just run the mandated.

Rama wiped his face rough and asked, "Then, what should I do?"

"Think about it yourself. You seem to be old enough to handle all of this. If you still love her, divorce me and come back to her. After all, we've run the mandate. Things can last or not, at least we've tried. You've said, not all who get married can mate forever," Tiara replied sharply.

"Stop talking divorce can't you? You think divorce is that simple and easy?" timpal Rama is upset.

"Then, what do I have to maintain and trust in this marriage?" tiara hatch.

"You asked for freedom, I love you. The way you behave and serve me, I accept everything and never protest. I am sick as much as I can. Then, how else do I do?" sahut Rama began to stir emotions.

"Clear," concluded Tiara as she passed from the room with her limp legs.

"Ra! A tiara!" call Rama no longer heeded by Tiara.

"Ram, patience. His name is a big new boy. It must be extra emang," said Rama strengthen himself.

After being calmer, Rama went out to the dining table. There, Bu Ina had already waved to him and Tiara chose to pour rice for the three. He also became lethargic to see his wife still sulking to the extent. However, he was grateful Tiara did not show their cold war in front of her mother.

"How's the office, Ram? Everything smooth?" asked Bu Ina while taking the side dish in front of her.

"Surf all, Ma. Anyway, there is also a Bayu that can be relied upon," replied Rama.

Rama sat beside Tiara as usual. He caught a glimpse of Tiara and the boy was really busy himself.

"If you are, Ra. The exam's almost over?" mrs Ina turned to Tiara.

"Two more days are over, Ma," Tiara replied.

"Fuck you then" said Bu Ina excitedly.

Rama and Tiara both knit their eyebrows together.

"Four days later, Mama has an invitation to the wedding of Mama's children in Lembang. But, Mama's been feeling bad lately" explains Ms. Ina.

"Yes already. No need to max. Only transfer, Ma," between Rama lightly.

"Abroad! Maybe this is a transfer. Not delicious. Where Mama has gone to the hotel too. You're the same Tiara came to replace Mama huh?" said Ms. Ina half forcefully.

"Ma, four more days there is an important meeting" protested Rama in a low voice.

"The intention, after running the test, Tiara wants to ask permission to return to Surabaya," added Tiara.

"Say there is a reliable Bayu. And you, Ra. Delay a few days home yes, later you can when to go home. You guys don't feel sorry for Mama? Mama feels guilty for her friend if she can't come" Bu Ina sulked.

"Maaaa," call Rama begging.

Ms. Ina stopped eating. He turned his face away from Rama and Tiara. He hopes this time he can bring his two children closer together.

"Yes, Ma. Tiara delayed her return. If Bang Rama is busy, let Tiara alone replace Mama huh. Mama rest just quietly at home and do not need a lot of activity first yes," said Tiara trying to calm her in-laws.

Suddenly, Ms. Ina smiled happily to Tiara. However, when he saw Rama, he turned his face again.

"You can tell your wife's out of town by herself?" asked Bu Ina without looking at Rama.

"It's okay, Ma. Tiara used to go everywhere by herself. Now there are maps, taxis and ojek online are also many, Mama pesenin hotel as well. Tiara is brave," Sela Tiara assured.

"But the situation is different, dear. Now you have a husband. Your family has entrusted you with good care, we should have looked after you with the best care," said Ms. Ina.

Because Tiara had agreed, Rama also had no choice but to agree. Rama could not have let Tiara go alone because Tiara was his responsibility. Moreover, his mother would certainly continue to search for him in various ways and would not accept no answers from him.

"Yes already. Okay. Is your mom satisfied?" rama pretended to be insinuating.

Bu Ina was very relieved and her disheveled face turned bright again. At that dining table, only Bu Ina looked very excited. While the two people in front of him, still lingered in silence and struggled with their respective minds. The war is not yet over, although both agree to Bu Ina's request.

It's time you guys got to know each other. If not this way, of course you will always be busy working and studying. Inner Bu Ina clucked happily.
