Hold on or let go!

The Eps 75

The nurse changed Mak's clothes. Right now I feed Mak his breakfast the next morning.

"Alby can kadieu?", asked Mak.

"Not Mak!", I answered briefly. But my hands are still painstakingly feeding it.

"Neng had breakfast? Breakfast is there!"

"Later Bia breakfast Mak, all out to buy interior. Bia want to shower.”

My mother nodded."Mom, don't you think Bia stayed a while?"

"Yes neng."

I also remove the rest of Mak's food that is scattered around Mak's lips. Don't forget to give me the medicine so Mak can get back to rest.

"Mommy, Bia come out first!", I said. Mak nodded slowly.

I decided to buy clothes at a supermarket not far from the hospital. Yeah, I worked and lived around here. The place where I met Alby and was very happy.

I went straight into the underwear store. I bought a few pieces. After that, I bought some simple clothes. Home-based games as usual.

Shopping this time is purely using my savings money which is transferred every month by Lek Sarman. This is our food stall profit.

After paying for my groceries, I headed to the laundry stall. Yeah, I want to change clothes immediately. Dry cleaning that I choose. After that, I can wear it.

"This is her dress!"

I received clothes that were ready to wear.

"Thank you mbak."

"Eh, the new mba here huh?", asked the laundry officer.

"Yes, I'm waiting for my mom in the hospital. I just came from the village. I don't bring a change of clothes."

"Oh, if you want to shower here. There is nothing mbak. This is all girl."

"Thank you, I don't want to take nicotine."

"Ngga ngerepotin coke mbak. Kaya, mba is also sick again huh? Her face is pale?"

"Eum. Just maybe a night of sleep deprivation, take care of my mother. And probably pregnant young kali mba!"

"Oh...mba is pregnant again? Atuh dong rich me!", rich mba laundry.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes mba. Take a shower first, the bathroom is on the right."

Although I doubt I finally agree to the idea of laundry. I take a shower, not good. This is not your own bathroom.

I came out with a much fresher body.

"Thank you mba!", I said.

"Either. By the way, we have no acquaintance!"

"Eh, I forgot. I'm Shabia."

"Oh, I'm Nita."

We chatted again until we were suddenly shocked by someone's presence.

"Mba Nina, my dress is done, right?", shouted one girl. And I know him!

"Well?", call me. Anika also looked at me.

"Bia MBA? How come Bia's here? Isn't yesterday still in the village?", Anika's cerocos sat right next to me.

"Heum, take care of Aa's mother."

Anika nodded. Nita handed over the dress that Anika meant.

"You know each other?", asked Nita.

"Yes mba Nita. Even yesterday Ika took nginep in the house mba Bia while following the father to the city of G. Uh.ngga yunya mba Bia already here."

I smiled thinly.

"Can't you know each other? It's rich in terms of age far away....!"

"Mba Nita, this is called mba Bia. Which has always been the topic of conversation of every family we get together."

I knit both my eyebrows. And Nita too.

"You mean, this...Bia who already rejected Sakti?", asked Bia.

I glared at Nita's mba. How is the story like this?

"Heum!", said Anika.

"oooh. You're beautiful Bia. Sakti is also handsome, but how can there be a powerful nolak. Though from the first many who pursue the magic."

Can I get a geer??? Oh, of course not!

"Mba Nita is my cousin!", explained Anika.

"Cousin? Like mba Kirana?", I asked.

"Yes, you know Rana too?" asked Nita.

"It just so happened that I checked the content of the same mba Rana."

Anika and Nita round their mouths.

"Sorry, if you're talking. What did you tell your family? Why do I seem to be your chatter often?"

Anika and Nita looked at. Then they both laughed.

"The magic is known cold, jutek, judes. But if it's the same with our big family he's humble mba. Mas sakti always tells about mba Bia who always rejected his love of magic. He said that Bia mba is less if compared to mas Sakti. So I don't want to give you the same hope as me."

I'm shaking.

"We were just friends from the past. There's never anything."

"Yes, because the magic mass is always rejected by Bia heheh."

"Udah is Ika, don't talk like that. I'm married now. Later mba in judge sok beautiful is what gegara never refused mas sakti. Please don't ever talk like this again."

I rubbed the back of Anika's hand.

"I'm sorry mba, I didn't mean it...."

"Yes, yes, I did forget. Eum..kalo so excuse me to go back to the hospital first. My mother-in-law's father is alone."

"Yes mba. Be careful!", said Ika.

"Sama-sama mba Bia."

Nita also showed her sweet smile.

I went into Mak's room. Alby was there.

"Neng, from where?", she asked me.

"Buy clothes A. I didn't bring a change of clothes!", I put my paper bag down.

"Had breakfast?", he asked. Ah, yes! I forgot to eat breakfast because I was talking. I'm shaking.

"It's eleven o'clock. Why not breakfast? Kasian the utun neng!"

"Yes, forgot!", my heart. Alby took food on the nightstand.

"Teh Mila brought rice with bacem chicken, eat yes?" said Alby thrusting rice at me.

I also accept it. I started eating breakfast at lunch.

"Neng, neng should also pay attention to the content of neng. Maybe neng is not hungry, but the utun also need neng nutrition."

Yeah, Alby's words are true. I forgot to eat breakfast.

I just nodded as I continued to chew my food.

"Darling, back to the office first. Later in the afternoon we go to kosan Marsha. He said that next to Marsha's room there was something empty."

I stopped my chewing. Then drink water.

"What am I kost for? You only come to me once in a while."

I smiled miris.

"It's not so neng!", alby sat beside me. Titin only noticed the interaction of the couple from the gurney.

"Then what?"

"At least, I can meet you more often, baby. Aa don't have to go back and forth to the village because you're here."

"But just stay there? It's free for me here. It's how I became a mistress."

Let Alby think of me as childish. But this time I can't keep up with her wishes.

Alby breathed.

"What does this mean to want to be in the village again?", asked Alby in a disappointed tone.

"Make no difference A."

Alby rubbed his temples.

"I can still afford to rent a hotel. Don't worry, it's my personal money."

Alby looked quickly at me.

"What do you mean talk like that?"

"I didn't mean to insult you. It's just, I chose to 'secure' myself."

Alby kept quiet with his own thoughts. Amidst the silence of this room, Silvy and Hartama entered. Me and Alby looked directly at the pair of fathers and sons**t that I had met.

"You haven't been back to By's office?", Silvy immediately occupied himself beside Alby. There's no word on Alby's lips. Shortly thereafter, Hartama sat across from me.

"It just so happens that you're here!", Hartama told me. What does he want to get to me this time?

"You have any need with me?", ask me flat.

"Maybe yes, maybe not!", replied Hartama while lifting one of his legs.

My eyes were stained to see Silvy so possessively wrapping her hands around Alby's arms. Jealous??? Maybe so! But it looks like Alby is enjoying the role as well. Hypocritical man! Bump me in my heart.

Athaghfirullah! I only strengthen myself, if not myself then who should I rely on?

"Tomorrow, I will hold their wedding reception!", Hartama pointed with his chin.

My attention immediately leads to the figure of my husband who is silent not budging. But I see, his jaw is hardened.

Reception huh? Ah, yes! I just want to laugh. Our marriage alone has no reception because I don't want to burden my husband. And now, does Alby still boast about self-esteem????

"It's none of my business!", reply me as casually as possible.

Alby looked up and looked at me. For a few seconds, our eyes met each other.

I don't want to look good in front of them.

"But you have to come! Because you're a very 'important' person'. Yes, special guests are the term."

Alby took Silvy's hand off his arm.

"Yes, I'll come!", I replied briefly.

Hartama smiled cynically at me. I got up and approached Mak.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Maybe Bia's bad. But from this moment on, Bia can't devote herself to being a good daughter-in-law to Mak."

I whispered next to Mak's ear. Mak was surprised. He shook his head weakly with teary eyes.

"Bia said to Mak. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalam."

Alby's blocking my hand.

"Where are you going?", she asked without removing her hand from my wrist.

"To a place where I want to be is not needed when someone wants my presence!"

I let go of his hand. Then my feet stepped up to grab the doorknob.

"Ballroom space hotel!", said Hartama. I stay out of that room. But the next few seconds, Alby again grabbed my hand.

"I'll stay at that hotel. So tomorrow there's no need to wait for me. I'm there."

I stepped on my feet quickly. Trying to get rid of the tightness in my chest.
