I AM FAITHFUL TO HIM WHOM YOU LOVE

THE DISCUSSION IN THE MORNING

Mara went down to the dining table where her husband and father were waiting for her.

" Morning Pa." Sapa Mara sat in the chair she used to sit in. He did not care about Arthur sitting in the chair next to him.

" Morning dear." Mr. Adi's.

" Bi make me mango juice huh." Said Mara staring at bi Ningsih who was making warm tea for Mr. Adi.

" I'm sorry Miss Mara, it's not good to have parents like that because after all my mother is your mother-in-law." Arthur looked at Mara.

" What's why? Bi Ningsih's domestic assistant right here? He works here as a servant, so it's his duty to serve me. I usually tell him too. And what was mother-in-law? Heh." Sinis Mara's.

" If I consider you my husband is my mother-in-law, if not bi Ningsih remains the housekeeper in this house." Connect Mara clearly.

Mr. Adi closed his eyes in embarrassment at the words of his daughter.

" Mara's... What Arthur said is true, son. Bi Ningsih now being your mother-in-law is not your service. He's here working for Papa not for you anymore. So honor her as you honor your own mother." Said Mr. Adi.

Mara rolled her eyes lazily.

" It's okay, sir, maybe Non Mara's not used to it yet." Sahut bi Ningsih's.

" It's not the juice." Bi Ningsih put a glass of mango juice in front of Mara.

Mara immediately drank her juice without thanking bi Ningsih who is now her mother-in-law. Arthur sighed softly seeing his mother being treated like that. Perhaps Arthur is usually not a problem with Mara's attitude towards her mother, but after marriage she feels Mara should also respect her mother as much as she respects her.

Without caring about Arthur's eyes or his father's. He took the rice and rendang the cow and began to feed the food to his mouth.

" After breakfast you have to pack your things Mara." Mr. Adi's words surprised Mara.

" Why did Pa have to pack my stuff? Where are we moving to?" Mara asked while taking a sip of her juice.

" You need to move into Arthur's house."

Uhuk... Uhuk.. Uhuk...

Mara chokes on her drink, with a swift Arthur rubbing Mara's back.

" Drink first Miss." Arthur gave Mara a glass of water.

Arrive arrive...

Prangs...

Mara brushed off Arthur's hand and made the glass she was holding fall to the floor.

" Good God Miss Mara." Said Arthur.

" Not to get attention! I don't like you paying attention like this." Mara ketus.

" You've gone too far with Mara." Said Mr. Adi.

" Papa's outrageous, how could Papa send me to Arthur's bang house. The house is the same as my room. Then how can I stay there? I will definitely feel cramped Pa, I will feel hot because there is no AC. I had to share the bathroom with the other residents and another one. I have to eat with the menu. I can't live in a family like that Pa. I'd be very tormented if I lived there."

" Samara!!!" Jerking Mr. Adi up from his seat made Mara prancing in shock.

" Who taught you to talk like this? Do you know you're as good as insulting them Mara. Is this what you got during school abroad?"

Mara clenched tightly her hands holding back the emotions in her chest, she could not accept her papa snapping at her just for defending Arthur and his family.

" It's not you who's wrong." Said Mr. Adi again sitting in his chair.

" You're wrong, Papa's wrong for leaving you to your appointment. It should be Papa himself who taught and educated you to be a good girl. The wrong papa isn't you." Said Mr. Adi sadly.

Yep... Mara completed her high school abroad, returning to her S1 education.

" I'm sorry Pa!" Mara lowered her head.

" Papa will forgive you if you're willing to go with your husband wherever he goes. Learn to accept the state of Mara because not always what we expect to be true. And what we see is not necessarily the truth." Mr. Adi said meaningfully.

Mara looked at Arthur and vice versa, Mara immediately cut off her gaze and looked at her papa.

" Yes, Papa wants you to be a good wife. Follow your husband and respect him and his family. Bi Ningsih and Mr. Jaka are no longer your servants but he is your second in-law. In-laws have the same rights and positions as Mara's parents, consider them your own parents." Said Mr. Adi.

" Alright I'm moving into Arthur's bang house." Mara gave up. For his papa's sake whatever he's gonna do.

" Thank God then, now apologize to them." Mr. Adi's words surprised Mara.

For Mara's entire life she never apologized to anyone but her papa. Even with his aunt he never said sorry when he made a mistake.

" My pa...

" It's okay Pa, we've forgiven Mara. Isn't that so, Mom?" Arthur looked at his mother.

" Yes sir, we've forgiven Non Mara." Sahut bi Ningsih's.

" Stop calling her Miss Bi, she's no longer your employer but she's your daughter-in-law. But I hope that bi Ningsih does not regard Mara as a daughter-in-law but rather as a daughter of bi Ningsih herself." Said Mr. Adi.

" Of course, sir, for me, my son-in-law is like my own son. I won't differentiate between my son-in-law and my own son." Bi Ningsih.

" I'm picking up Mara Bi, rebuke her if she's wrong. Show him the right way if he gets lost." Said Mr. Adi.

" Good Sir." Sahut bi Ningsih's.

" Mara finish your meal and get ready." Tell Mr. Adi to look at Mara.

" I don't have appetite Pa, I'll pack up now." Mara left the dining table.

" I'm after Mara Pa." Arthur said in a nod of his head by Mara.

Arthur soon catches up with Mara in her room. Until there he went in to approach Mara who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

" Non Mara I'm...

" You happy to see our debate?" Mara looked at Arthur sharply.

" You're happy to see my papa yelling at me for defending you. Is this what you want Bang? You're happy to see me as miserable as I am now." Ketus Mara's.

" Not so Non, I'm actually sad because our relationship made Non Mara defy Mr. Adi. L'm...

" Why don't you just finish everything here? Leave me here and stop interfering with my life. I have no problem being a widow at my age." Mara.

" That way I can find Aldo and we can get married and live happily ever after." Connect Mara.

Arthur clenched his hand tightly. Had Mr. Adi not forbade Arthur to show proof of Aldo's crime he would have shown Mara.

Mr. Adi thinks Mara wouldn't believe it if Arthur showed it now. Mr. Adi wants Arthur to make Mara fall in love with him. That way Mara would accept the evidence easily.

" I'll never part from you Miss Mara. Whatever happens I won't let you go. You're mine and forever will be." Arthur said firmly.

" You're so confident Bang, I don't love you if you force yourself you'll feel hurt." Mara.

" I will endure and accept that pain until it turns to happiness." Said Arthur.

" Heh so arrogant that you Bang, I want to see when you are able to survive with this attitude of mine. If you are not strong, just give up. Tell me then I will gladly divorce you." Mara.

" And that will never happen Miss Mara. How much pain you're going to give me I'm going to stay by your side." Arthur said firmly.

" We'll see the reality." Mara Sahut.

" Pack your things Miss! We should leave before noon. Or you'll feel sultry on the way. Do I need to help you pack Miss Mara?" Tawar Arthur looked at Mara with a smile.

" I can do it myself." Ketus Mara lowered the suitcase from the top of the closet. Arrive arrived....
