Hold on or let go!

Eps 72's

I'm giving up again! Probably more precisely lose!

"Let's take a break at the gas station?" said Alby.

Yeah, we both went to town. I finally decided to go with Alby to the city. Again, for my mother-in-law!

"Heum!", I said flatly.

Sorry Aa neng! Inner Alby.

"Later Aa find a contract that is not far from papa's house. Let Mak find Neng easier!", said Alby. I didn't mince his words. Wh-wh-what for? In the end, I will always be the loser. Surely Alby's time will be wasted more on his young wife.

Alby took my hand. Smacked for a moment while his right hand was still focused on the steering circle.

Almost five hours the car we were riding in entered the hospital area where Mak was treated.

Alby and I walked a little hastily even though Alby was still protecting me.

Mak's room is in the VIP area. Maybe true, mister Hartama does want to give his best for Mak.

We went into Mak's room. There Mak is waiting for by Mila Tea.

"Assalamualaikum!", Alby and I greeted each other.

"Walaikumsalam!", Mila tea stands. Me and Alby approached Mak's gurney.

The tomb that had been closed now opened its eyes.

"Neng?", call Mak lirih. I also gently rubbed the back of his hand.

"Yes, Mom, Bia's here."

"How are you, son?"

"Alhamdulillah good mother. As you can see."

Mak rubbed my flat stomach. He looked me in the eye with his eyes.

"Why does tea hurt again?", I asked Mila tea.

He seemed confused to answer.

"Tea? Is Mak tired?", asked Alby. Mila Tea looked at Mak's face. And I saw Mak shaking slowly at Mila's tea.

"Sorry By, I can't take care of Mrs Titin."

"What do you mean?", asked Alby in confusion. Mila told me everything that happened while Alby wasn't home. Titin is not considered a family. Titin who made art like himself and of course Silvy's arbitrary attitude on Titin.

Alby squeezed his own hand. I know, he must have been very emotional knowing the treatment of the father and son.

"Had By. There is nothing!" said mak slowly.

"But they're outrageous Mak!", said Alby emotionlessly. I choose to be in this situation.

"Non Silvy was also treated by the doctor this morning!" said Mila's tea.

"Why?", asked Alby flatly as if he did not care what happened to his young wife.

Mila tea is down.

"Why tea?", asked Alby again.

"Non Silvy is pregnant!", replied Mila tea.

I'm flabbergasted! Huh! A cynical smile flashed across my face. Disappointed? I don't know what the more appropriate name is!

"A..what? Pregnant?", Alby parroted. His eyes turned to me. I chose to bend down to ease my emotions a little.

"Yes!", said Mila flatly.

Alby sat on the couch. Titin feels wrong here. Isn't that happy news? She's going to be the grandmother of Silvy's son, her own biological daughter?? But she also felt that things must be difficult to accept by her beautiful daughter-in-law who had been taking good care of her.

We all stayed in each other's minds. Suddenly Hartama went into Mak's room.

"Oh, are you here?", asked Hartama to approach Alby. My eyes had collided with Hartama for a split second.

"You coming here?", asked Hartama to me. It seems Hartama's question doesn't need me to answer.

Because there was no authorization from me, Hartama sat in front of Alby.

"Silvy's pregnant! Your plan to Singapore papa cancel!", said Hartama leaning his back against the sofa.

To Singapore? They're going to Singapore? And Alby didn't talk to me about that?

"Papa will review Silvy's operating schedule. After all, papa did not want to harm our future grandchildren. Isn't that Titin?", Hartama turned to Mak.

Mak didn't answer anything. He chose silence.

Likewise with Alby, he still looked down with the support of both hands.

"Papa hope, you pay more attention to Silvy. Silvy's condition is not like women in general. You know what papa means?", asked Hartama but his gaze was directed at me.

What does he mean?

"Bia's condition isn't as weak as Silvy's! Doesn't that mean Bia is much more independent than Silvy?"

Alby looked up then looked at his in-laws with an angry look. Yes, he knew what Hartama meant to say. Hartama must have asked that he could be with Silvy at any time. That means, he'll get further and further away from Bia.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Wanna mad? Hah?", Hartama snapped in front of Alby.

Gigi Alby's shaking. Really am! If he were not an old man, it would have been a hard blow landing on one of his limbs or even more.

"Your job is to love only my daughter, look after Hartama's future heirs. Understand!!", said Hartama full of emphasis. After that he left the room.

I breathe a lot of air. I'll be defeated here. Still able to patiently you Bia??? I ask myself.

"I'm out!", I said a farewell to Mak, ignoring Alby who called my name.

"Miss! Neng!", Alby's after me. I saw Hartama already walking away from this VIP carefree area.

"Wait for neng!", Alby grabbed my shoulder.

"What?", ask me flat.

"You know, after all, Aa will still pay attention to our son!", Alby assured me. I waltzed, not wanting to say anything.

"Neng!", Alby covered both of his hands on my cheeks.

"Let Bia alone!", I said.

"How does Aa want to tell her own heart when she's feeling this way?", Alby pressed my shoulder. I looked up at her face because she was taller than me.

"What's wrong with my emotions? wrong A!?", I asked full of emphasis.

"Religious. Neng is not wrong. That's why Aa doesn't want to tell neng alone."

"I need my own time! Go then! Your young wife needs you more A! And I don't!"

"Miss! I don't like talking like that!"

My shoulders went up and down withstanding the emotional turmoil within my chest.

"Congratulations! You'll also get a child apart from my womb A. I assume that what we did this morning was only an obligation as long as I was Aa's wife!"

"What do you mean by talking like that?", now Alby is provoked by emotions.

"Yes, if Aa can't get Aa's rights from me there's already Silvy who can replace me!"

"Omong empty is this Bia!"

"Why? I'm wrong again?"

"Originally you know Bia! I just love you. I did everything with you purely because I wanted you so much and loved you!"

"lik! If it were my love, there wouldn't be a seed from you in Silvy's womb?! Yes, I'm selfish! I just want to have you a whole A. I hate! Really hate this situation. Because I was sure that one day this would happen, but I didn't expect it to be this fast!", I wiped off my tear marks.

"Yes. Aa wrong. Maybe Aa is a cruel husband! Aa can't be fair to you two. Aa just love with neng! Just so you know, Aa only gave Silvy the right when she gave the choice so that Aa could meet him after the wedding! It never occurred to Aa to get close to Silvy anything else to pay him back. Not at all neng! Aa only channeled Aa's desire as neng. A woman who loved yesterday, now and forever!".

After expressing her feelings for me, Alby slightly moved away from me.

Is it true what he said??

I lean against the wall. My eyes closed for a moment. But suddenly the warm embrace came to my body. My heart is not okay.

"Sorry! Sorry Aa who has spoken loudly with neng. Sorry!", whispered alby beside my ear. Without feeling, my tears melted again.

What is this feeling???? Should I be happy to hear his words if he only loves me? Why is there a burden in the corner of my heart?
