Hold on or let go!

The 134 Eps

So many years have passed, why does Febri's mother still not like me? What exactly is my fault with her? Why do you hate me that much?

"Mother's healthy?", Tanya tried to be as polite as ever.

"The rich you see!", said Bu Sri Ketus. He was a killer teacher of his day. He must have retired by now.

"Alhamdulillah,Mom!"

"I heard that you are married, right?", asked Sri Ma still in a cynical tone.

"Yes Mom!", I nodded.

"Where does your husband go? Why did you go to the side by yourself? No intention to commit suicide, right?"

"Astaghfirullah, yes no ma'am!"

The phone in my pocket is shaking. My eyes were round to see who was contacting me. Ms. Sri is intense. Without me picking up, I put my phone back in. But again Febri called.

"Let's just say, it's important!" said Bu Sri. The old woman wanted to ask a lot of things about her son who she said had met Bia at the place where she was serving.

He doesn't know who called me. How did he react when he found out that the one who contacted me was his son???

I let out a breath. I finally decided to pick up Febri's video call. Ms Sri's business, I'll think about it later. Adopted or not yet Bu Sri will still hate me.

[Hallo, assalamualaikum why?]

[Walaikumsalam, where are you nduk?]

Bu Sri's eyes widened, it seemed like she understood the voice on my phone. I take my breath slowly.

[In the village]

[Which village?]

[My village]

[O Allah, when did you come home?]

[I got here last night]

Ms. Sri pulled my phone, maybe she can't stand the ke'ke'annya.

[Febri.].

Bu Sri's voice was shrill, like an angel's trumpet perhaps.

[I.mr..ibu ..]

Febri stammered when she found out that her mother had met her ex.

[So tenanan, you still call Bia? Eling Le, de'e rabbi's. Wis nduwe bojo's. Your crew need to move into the ne wong liyo Feb household]

(Jandi right? Remember Le(call of boys) he's married. Already have a husband. You don't disturb other people's households Feb)

Febri massaged his temple. Intentions want to find out the condition of Bia, even ended up chatting with his own mother. He rarely calls his mother. Not because he did not want to, it's just that he was bored when his mother always betrothed herself to the daughter of the mother's friends.

I could only observe the long distance chatter of my former mother-in-law and her son. Fyuhhhh....must be like this??

[Who would bother Mom. Udah, love again hp same Bia, Bu]

[Eh...so what?]

Bu Sri snorted in annoyance.

[Yes, someone wants Febri to come to Bia. Bia's husband called Febri Bu]

[Sek...sek...suamine Bia contacted you? Why iso?]

Ms. Sri still hasn't given me my phone.

[Mom, Febri'll call me when I'm home. Now, give her hp to Bia ya Ma'am!]

With her pouting face, Ms Sri handed me my phone again.

[Hallo mas?]

[Nduk, Alby called me]

[Continues?]

I heard Febri sigh a bit harshly, yes.I heard him.

[He was angry with me, he said I helped you escape him]

Bu Sri glared sharply at me, seriously.His fierce face was still the same when I was still his student.

[What do you answer?]

[Yes I said what it is, we didn't meet on purpose. Anterin you're home. That's why I have to serve. I returned to Jakarta. Not going home to the old wa Mus house]

[Eum.ya already].

[Some of you are grieving, making people anxious. Wear ga to activate all your numbers]

[Heum, yes, yes. Thanks though. I'm going home, assalamualaikum]

[Guardiansalam]

I'm back in my cell phone pocket. Madam Sri still looks at me horror.

"Ngga ran away, ma'am, there's something Bia has to deal with here."

"Why did your husband reach Febri? You guys close again? Da? Febri wants to be a coach?"

Aish.Febri's mother mostly watched the soap opera flying rich fish.

"Astaghfirullah, ma. We were close, just friends. Mas Febri is not the player you think he is!"

"Keep what's his name? proof that your husband is angry with Febri? You are still the wife of people, do not try to get near Febri again. Even if he has become a widower, but he is an honorable widower. His wife died of duty. So don't...."

"Stop Mom! Sorry!", I clenched my hands together in my chest. Apologizing to Febri's mother who will definitely accuse me of the same charges from the past, the cheating son must have cheated too!

Sick!!???!!??

Bu Sri's breathing goes up and down, maybe she's angry.

"Mom, I am close to Febri. Just friends, nothing more! And about my husband being angry with Febri, it was just a misunderstanding. I had a problem with my husband, even before I met with Febri mas again Mom. So, I beg you. Don't accuse me or Febri ma'am."

Bu Sri rejoiced in her place, she did not reply to my long words earlier. I'm tired of the cornerokin.

"Don't tell me you're going back to the village to take care of your separation with your husband?", accuse Bu Sri of being on target. I was a little stunned how could he guess like that?

"Sorry Mom, but...."

"Huh... the name is a feeling that you can not be forced! I'm also tired of having to ban Febri from holding back his feelings for you!"

O prophet salam alaika, o apostle salam alaika!!! Allahuahbar. The record as long as I know Bu Sri, only this time he spoke a little softly without a high tone. Remember, se-di-kit! But the thing is, why is Febri not like him? Is it possible that Febri went down his father???

"I mean mother..what?", I stammered. I just praised her a little softly, her eyes were glaring again.

"Sus the same story mom!", he said. Well, youho??? Sus MBA? The mother of Febri? Did Febri tell you about me on Sus mba? Or..mba sus know from my mother, because the age of the two of them adrift not too far and often meet at the village hall??? Issshhh...I thought what am I!

"Mba sus?", asked me parroted.

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first. But when Febri called you in front of mom, I figured out how Febri got to you. He's still the same, ngarep you. Though mother has been back and forth matchmaking Febri same girls who according to mother fit Febri."

I gulped my saliva a little slowly, suddenly dry of the esophagus. What else is this????

"But Ma'am, Bia and Feb are just friends. No more!", I said while shaking.

"That's what you think, but not Febri!"

I'm massaging my temples again. Giddy! The change in attitude of Ms Sri really....???

"You have heard about your real mother, I'm sorry!", said Ms Sri still with her haughty style.

"I mean mom???", seriously I nanya. The black-clothed woman sighed.

"Sorry!Mom used to be bad with you. Don't bless you with Febri!"

Allahuakbar, is this really Ms Sri, my former future-in-law whom I failed to make in-laws????

But....

"Try from the first time you married Febri, maybe you don't have to experience like this!", said Bu Sri with a voice that I vaguely heard, she cried?

"Astaghfirullah mom. It has not been discussed again, maybe it has been his way like this. But...Bia please, don't cry Ma'am.Did Bia make another mistake earlier?"

Madam Sri shook her head, then suddenly she hugged me.

The deg!!!! Is this a dream???

"Mother why cry?", I asked again.

"You want to split up with your husband, right? Mother support! Everywhere no one wants to share. And.. After that, it's back with Febri. I bless you guys."

"Astaghfirullah, ma'am.!", I broke our arms.

"Why do you talk like that?", I asked in wonder. Has ten years changed the way Ms Sri looks at me?

"You deserve to be happy Bia! Sorry..sorry..kalo mom has been rough with you! I'm sorry!"

"Oh my God, already. Bia nothing!", I said pretending to be tough actually.

"Bia, I know maybe this is the wrong time. But..kalo you are indeed separated from your husband, you are willing to be a companion Febri right?"

"Astaghfirullah!", I muttered again. Is wrong! This is so wrong!

"Mom, sorry! Not the intention of Bia reject the wishes of Bu Sri. Bia is currently Alby's wife. And about Bia same mas Febri, we are just friends ma'am!", I rubbed the upper arm of Bu Sri.

"Yo wes. once again sorry Bia's mother. It was just like you, rough with you. But you're still being nice to me."

I nodded thinly.

"Yes Ma'am, sorry Bia also yes if all this time Bia has made Bu Sri..."

''Brother Bia, the wrong mother." Instead of us continuing to play mistakes, I better agree with the words of Ms. Sri.

"Yes, we're with each other!", I smiled. Be happy? Of course I'm happy! But ... heart, you are happy because you have made up with Ms Sri or because she said you and Febri???
