Chapter 15: Love and Dilemma

💮 Happy reading, and good luck always 💮

''Have you ascertained your own feelings Lif? And aren't you getting engaged to that damn girl? If you like Iren, then what about your family and your matchmaking?'' Mira wants to know all about Alif, she does not want her best friend to be hurt again.

''Have....'' But if it's about matchmaking...I will talk about it with my family, said Alif. But clearly there are still doubts in his heart Alif.

''Talked about? Didn't you end up in brackets by your mama because you were trying to talk about your matchmaking?''

''DEG''

''How did Mira know?'' Inner Alif.

''I understand very well how you are doing Lif. I know you don't want to be an unfilial child. But you also have feelings for my best friend. I don't want to just because your love and dilemma put my best friend in a difficult position.'' Alif bowed lethargic hearing Mira's words, He himself could not be firm with himself, against his love or his mother.

''Better, you solve your family problems first, then you come to see Iren. Affirm your heart first, choose what is best for everything. So that later there is no party who misunderstood or was hurt, Mira left Alif who was still still glued in front of the house. Now her daughter is crying.

''You're too hard on him, baby.'' Dimas suddenly appeared to his wife who was calming him.

''If I'm not hard, Irena will have her own troubles. You know very well the nature of his family. Not to mention Danisha the damned girl, Dimas hugged Mira from behind and kissed the top of her head. Because in that way, his wife can calm down again.

Alif came home in a daze. But he also did not blame Mira, because what he said was true. ''I should have talked to my mom and straightened this out, '' said Alif.

''Brother, brother from anywhere?'' Oliv pulled Alif's hand after seeing her brother come home. But Alif still daydreams about every word Mira.

''Brother, please Brother Nadia! Brother Nadia was scolded by her mother, Oliv's speech immediately made Alif aware of her daydream.

''Hah! Why did mom scold my sister? And where's sister-in-law?'' Alif said then immediately went inside to see the situation of his brother.

''My sister-in-law is going to the city to buy the store, ''' while crying Oliv explained.

''Your ways Alif now often defy me! Supposedly as a sister, you gave her advice. What else is his match with Danisha also for the sake of the family!'' A loud scream came from her mother, while Nadia bowed while holding her son. Alif closed his eyes, always like this, every problem, always his brother who was blamed.

''Enough mah! It's not all brother's fault! Why every time there's a problem mom always blames sister. Mama can talk directly to Alif, because Alif decided the match. Brother knows nothing!'' Alif really had lost his patience when he saw his brother crying while holding his nephew. His heart ached to see him, Forgive Alif brother, because of Alif's problem, brother so to blame, ''' Inner Alif.

''Papa? Mama has no right to bring papa in our problems right now. Had Alif not been a child at that time, Alif would have come with papa!'' Alif.

''Your papa's word? Yeah, I've been there with that stupid papa of yours. For the sake of his first love he was willing to let go of the family! Let go of his wife and son! Do you think your father was right in doing that?'' Ranty.

''Whether it is true or not, I know the truth for myself. Mama who entered into their relationship, separated them and trapped papa, still mending papa still love me.'' Alif approached her brother who was still down.

''Come brother, I will take you to the room, '' said Alif.

''Is that so bad about your view of Mama Lif? You are still defending them. Mama admitted that mama was wrong at the time, and she shouldn't have framed your dad. But is it fair for you, when your father is married to you, but he still thinks of other women?'' Alif took a rough breath, then asked Oliv to deliver Nadia's sister to her room.

''This matter must be resolved immediately, ''' Inner Alif.

''Well, papa is not thinking about Ayu's aunt. Since you got married, you have forgotten your love and learned to accept your mom and Alif. But my mother was always consumed by excessive jealousy. Even mama accidentally leaked the secrets of our family restaurant so that papa went bankrupt. Mama who left papa, not papa, '' Alif tried to explain, so that her mother quickly realized her selfishness.

''If you do not want Alif to be the same fate as papa, you should not force this match. Mama knew very well, what it was like to marry a person who did not love her mother at all, Alif went to leave her mother who was still silent after hearing her son's words.

''Am I that bad? For the sake of my selfishness to the point of sacrificing my son's feelings.'' Ranty sat down and took a glass of water and drank it.

In the room, Nadia was silent. His son was sleeping after crying earlier. Oliv tries to comfort her brother, but Nadia does not respond. Alif approached her brother, and asked Oliv to leave them. After Oliv's departure, Alif knelt before her brother.

''Forgive Alif brother, because of the problem of Alif, so brother is always to blame, his tears dripping down his cheeks. Seeing her brother still crying earlier, her heart ached.

''You shouldn't have said that to Mama Lif, no matter how she was your mama, who gave birth to you. You must be patient in dealing with his attitude and nature. We can slowly explain it, Nadia's words made Alif straighten his bowed head. He was not surprised to hear his brother's words too good. Even with the person who had hurt him for so many years he could still say so.

''I'm not as good as big brother, I don't want to see mama blame big brother anymore. After all, I want you to know that I don't want to continue the match. I don't like Danisha at all. I don't want to marry that cunning woman Brother, said Alif.

''Is it because in your heart there is already another Lif girl? Who has stolen my brother's heart?'' Nadia tried to melt the atmosphere. At least by shifting his mind, Alif can ease his emotions.

''Her name is Irena!'' Suddenly Oliv gawked in and took the phone charger, then ran out again.

''Don't run away!'' Alif chases after Oliv who embarrasses him in front of his older brother. Nadia was happy to see her sisters back in a jest. Regardless of what happened earlier.
