LOVE IN LIFE

88

Ayu opened the reading room abruptly. Oma and Amelia also Dama turned her head and looked at her.

Amelia stood up and greeted him.

"Mother! "

"Hi" Ayu replied with a smile.

He looked towards Oma Mira and Dama.

"Can you guys get out? I'd like to speak to Mrs Mira Narendra in person" Ayu said.

Amelia looked towards Oma Mira, then picked up Dama after Oma Mira nodded. They went out, and found Mary panting after Ayu.

"What's wrong? Why'd he come here? " ask Mary.

"Don't know mistress, mother just asked me to come out because she wanted to talk to the big lady" Amelia replied.

Harris just came, heard it. Maria looked at him in annoyance then folded her hands on her chest. They were waiting for Ayu at the door.

Amelia left them for fear of another fight.

Ayu looked at Oma Mira who got up and sat down slowly to her sofa.

"You are very old and even have trouble getting up from sitting down, but why have another cunning plan to hurt your own offspring! " Ayu starts with innuendo.

"What do you mean? " ask Oma Mira relaxed.

"You promised marriage to my son Saga" Ayu said.

Oma just understood and glanced at him.

"Just like you did with Harris when he was so hoping to marry me" Ayu continued.

Oma Mira straightened her face.

"Then you destroy everything for the reason of the rules of this house" Ayu was upset.

Oma Mira just silently received all Ayu's hoots.

"I beg you madam, this time do not break my son's heart" Ayu folded his hands before Oma Mira.

This made Oma Mira surprised. The Ayuningtyas who once promised never to set foot and pleaded with her now broke her vow for the happiness of her son Saga.

"I beg you madam, she loves Amelia so much with all her soul and body. He'll be devastated if you do the same to Harris. If she's destroyed, then I can die madam" Ayu pleaded with tears.

Oma Mira swallowed her saliva, feeling she could not say anything to him.

Harris and Maria who were listening from the outside, bowed down.

"I can live without Harris, but I can't live without Saga. She just got back into my arms, please don't take her away from me because of the disappointment you're planning"

Ayu wept bitterly in her reading room while Oma Mira remained silent and did not look at her.

Harris couldn't stand Oma's silent attitude, she went in and helped Ayu stand up.

"Wake up, you better go home. I'll take care of this" Harris said.

Maria saw the touch-by-touch Harris gave Ayu. His face was red with jealousy.

Ayu brushed off Harris's hand.

"I can do it myself" Ayu replied as she saw Maria there.

She wiped her tears and tidied her skirt.

"Madam, I've been away for so long. Let go of what is rightfully mine. Leave it with your choices. I hope that's enough to make you happy and feel like winning. Please don't repeat this mistake madam, Saga probably won't be able to accept it like your son accepted his fate"

Oma Mira still turned her face away. Maria looked at Ayu as she spoke and Harris could only lower her head.

Ayu left the reading room, walking slowly weakly down the stairs.

Amelia's gaze greeted him, Ayu immediately hugged him.

"Mom's okay? " ask Amelia.

Ayu nodded.

"Yes, I'm good, very good" Ayu replied.

"Can? " Ayu asked instead.

"Of course" Amelia replied with a smile.

"I'm waiting in the front garden, baby! " said Ayu.

Amelia nodded and followed Minah in her room.

Harris and Maria remained silent in front of Oma Mira.

"What did you promise Saga? " ask Harris.

Oma walked over to see Ayu leave.

"Nothing" replied Oma.

"Let's break her promise to come to this house and beg mom, I don't think it's a trivial matter she's worried about" Harris urged.

Oma Mira took a breath, she saw Ayu sitting in the park and playing with Dama. The sight he always saw first when he was still his daughter-in-law.

"Mom! " Harris forced.

"I said no, she was too absorbed in her role as a mother because Saga had just returned to her. The fear of losing him is greater than his logic. If only everyone could understand the feelings of a mother" Oma Mira squeezed her wand.

Harris was silent, he returned to his room without speaking. While Mary was silent digesting her mother-in-law's speech.

"I arranged everything to your liking, see now what happens with this house. Are you satisfied to make me take the blame for all your requests? " murmurm Oma Mira.

Mary looked at him, she knew who her mother-in-law was muttering to. He left her.

When he opened the door, he saw that Harris was ready to leave.

"You wanna catch up with him? " ask Mary.

"Yes, I have to ask what caused it" Harris replied while wearing a jacket.

"Every day you're with him even late into the night. Now you're going to leave me because she came with her parched face? " Maria expressed her frustration.

Harris remained silent. He closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.

"I never saw him except when Saga came and today. I never stayed with him all day or even stayed. I didn't go there when I didn't come home" Harris explained by emphasizing all of his words.

"Ohhh, really? " Mary doubted it.

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm leaving because you don't want me to touch at all. You turned me down and ignored me with all your dirty words. I've tried Maria, I've refrained from being a husband who understands your feelings. But this has exceeded my patience Maria. I can't take it anymore, we'd better get divorced"

Harris cried as he said his last words. Mary saw him and sat down. Harris leaves her to catch up with Ayu.

But seeing Ayu who was still playing with Dama made her step stop. They looked at each other and were awkward.

"Sorry, i.... "

"No, I must've done something to get you here" Harris tried to understand.

Amelia noticed the look on their worried faces.

"Other times call me first, we can discuss it, especially the Saga issue" Harris said.

Amelia is shocked because it turns out that Ayu came because of the Saga problem.

"What's? A saga? What else did he do? " ask Amelia.

Harris and Ayu looked at him.

"About? " Ayu and Harris asked the same thing.

"Yes, a few days ago he made Davin angry and screamed when he came home. Then what is he doing now? " ask Amelia with her innocent face.

"Saga makes Davin angry? " Ayu was surprised.

Harris couldn't believe what he was hearing.

The three of them fell silent at the thought of what had happened to Saga. He who is usually very gentle and always gives up, now makes Davin who always tries to understand the situation someone becomes angry.
