Kunodai My wedding

KP 19 - Demands of Mommy Kingdom

“Come back here, Mas. Look me in the eye and tell me you rejected me again tonight!”

Ayline forced Oswald to turn around, but her husband remained unmoved. He did not answer nor did he try to stop Ayline from pulling his body.

“Why, Mas? Until when, Mas?” ayline asked started to sound desperate.

Ayline lay back down. He looked at the dark ceiling of his room. He never imagined that his married life would be like this. Given how happy they were at the beginning of the marriage, made Ayline think whether it was possible when the two were too quick to decide to get married.

A moment of silence. Ayline and Oswald were both silent. “Why are you in a hurry Ayline?”

“I?!” Oswald's question sounded cornered him.

Why does it sound like her pushy self, Ayline thought. Wasn't what he asked for was the inner living that Oswald had to give him.

“Ya, you!” oswald once again though not a little he turned to his wife.

“Don't you ask me to go?!”

Ayline could not stand the talk like this which always led to quarrels. “Enough, Mas! Can you stop asking me to leave?”

Ayline got up and sat down on the edge of the bed on Oswald's back. “Go won't solve all these problems, Mas.”

“Then be patient!” bentak Oswald's.

Ayline's tears instantly bathed his eyes. Does Oswald still doubt his patience? Didn't the man test his patience many times? What was her attempt to prove her patience was still lacking in her husband's eyes?

Even before the calamity befell Oswald, had not her husband failed her several times and all Ayline had done was be patient?

The various questions that came to Ayline's mind, further hurt her heart. “But we've tried, Mas. There is nothing wrong if we try it,” said Ayline lirih.

“Then what if the result is the same? What if there is no change? You will be disappointed, right?” Oswald chides Ayline with a question that pauses Ayline.

“Patience Ayline! You think you're the only one who's tormented? I'm much more tortured than you. Stop being Ayline's noble wife. Understand my imperfect situation, or just leave me!” continued.

Sick, Ayline's heart was as slashed by her husband's words. Since when he wants to be pretentious, he just wants to have a happy household. His hopes were still the same as when he first decided to marry Oswald.

Ayline finally got out of bed. He stood up and went to the bathroom to change his clothes. But before entering the bathroom, Ayline stopped her steps.

“If you ask me to be patient, you should also be able to ask the same thing to Mommy Kingdom,” said Ayline.

“Do you forget why until we move to this place?”

“My decision is still the same, Mas. I will stay by your side. Come with you and we will try to fix everything,” continued Ayline.

“So, stop telling me to leave. Think of the best way out of our household problems besides being patient.”

In the bathroom, Ayline finally spilled all her heartache by crying. She deliberately let the water continue to flow from the tap so that her crying could not be heard by her husband.

Can't Oswald appreciate everything he's done. Is it wrong if he wishes the warmth of his household back to what it used to be, Ayline thought.

Ayline was in the bathroom for a long time. When he felt calm enough, he went out and went back to bed. Oswald was asleep, either completely asleep or her husband was just pretending to close his eyes to avoid it.

Ayline also closed both net. Let her rest tonight and think about what answer she will give, if tomorrow-tomorrow her mother-in-law again asked about pregnancy.

...…...

Oswald skipped breakfast today. He did this to avoid meeting his wife. It felt uncomfortable for Oswald and Ayline to silence each other like this, but the awkwardness after last night was still very pronounced.

Ayline was cold to Oswald. Usually she would protest if her husband skipped breakfast, but this morning Ayline was being nonchalant. Although alone, Ayline still spent his breakfast in silence. The servants were aware of the change in their Madam's attitude, but no one dared to comment.

Upon arrival at his office at the factory, Oswald immediately asked Denis to contact his mother. He thought there was a reason why Ayline mentioned her name when they were arguing last night.

“Tell me if I want to talk about something very important,” Oswald replied.

“I can't wait. I want you to connect with my Mommy, now!”

Denis nodded in understanding. He returned to his cell phone, making another call to the assistant Lady Kingdom. After arguing while carrying the name Oswald, he was finally able to connect with the Lady Kingdom.

“Sorry Madam, but Mr. Oswald doesn't want to wait. There are important things that he wants to talk about,” explained Denis after he was yelled at by Madam Raya.

“You stupid?! It is your duty to calm my Son. Didn't my assistant already tell me if I was busy,” reply Lady Raya does not want to be denied.

If it's like this, Denis can only apologize even though he's innocent here. His master was Oswald, of course he would have listened more to Oswald's orders.

Denis's cell phone has changed hands. Oswald looked unhappy because he felt long enough to wait.

“Mommy,” reply.

“Hai, Darling ... how are you there?” ask Mommy Raya.

“I'm fine. Everything has gone smoothly so far, ” replied Oswald.

Something strange according to Oswald. Mommy Raya should also ask Ayline, they have not seen each other for a long time, Oswald thought. Is it possible if Mommy contacted Ayline recently? Inner Oswald.

“What did Mommy recently talk to my wife?” ask Oswald without further ado.

“Me-what's why? What did your wife stir you up?”

From his voice, Oswald could guess that his mother was nervous. “Ayline is not the type of wife who likes to complain, Mom.”

“What did Mommy talk to my wife about? It's not a secret I can't figure out, is it?”

Because her son had asked, Mommy Raya thought that she would speak honestly with her son. “Mommy told Ayline not to delay having children,”.

“Ayline never delays, Mom,” interrupted Oswald defending his wife.

“Ya, Ayline also said so,” reply Mommy Kingdom. “Lantas, why is she not pregnant yet?”

Oswald breathed. “Mom, no one can determine when to get pregnant,” Oswald replied.

“But how long has it been since you got married? As long as you know, if you want to strengthen your position as heir in the company then you must immediately have a successor,” said Mommy Raya.

“Listen to Mommy, Honey .. Your Daddy will not give you his legacy if you do not have children as the successor of the company Pallas,” he continued.

Oswald clasped Denis's phone getting stronger to hold back his emotions. Denis who saw it could only swallow his saliva while praying about the fate of his cell phone.

“Lagian has circulated gossip in the Board of Directors about your household. Your choice of suddenly moving to a branch company raises rumors of your household rift,” said Mommy Raya.

Oswald. Now they had all started to dare to intrude on his life. He is now handicapped and they are talking about bad things behind him, Oswald thought.

“Already, Mommy is busy. But Mommy doesn't want to know. As soon as you and Ayline have to give good news about the pregnancy of Ayline,” stressed Mommy Raya.

“Maybe you already know, but Mommy already checked Ayline's fertility and everything is fine. If Ayline does not get pregnant, then do not blame Mommy if Mommy will ask you to check fertility as well.”

Oswald did not dispute Mommy's remarks. Even when Mommy Raya wanted to disconnect the phone, Oswald did not prevent it.

His mind was busy thinking about what he should be doing right now. To be honest about his condition, Oswald felt unable to resist embarrassment. He was afraid that people would look him one eye more.

It was a crazy idea he had thought of. Do I have to do that in the end?
