Mom, Let Me Be Happy

CHAPTER 52. Not my fault

Denny from his house. Santana kept replaying Denny's words in her mind. Making the void space in his heart become rowdy. But unfortunately, the noise is not because of beautiful words or melodies of love that flow melodiously. But it was an ultimatum that reminded loudly, that Mariam was no longer his. Mariam is no longer for him.

"It's all my fault. I always wanted him to take care of you. Leave you and entrust Shaka to her," muttered Santana cursed her attitude to Mariam, in the past.

"Now I just realized. Now I just feel like you don't want to have her. I was blown away by myself," Santana grabbed her hair furiously.

"Ahh ..c*l! I should have been more courageous. Right people say. I was too afraid of Arifin, but there would be laws in place if I had defended myself first," Regret continued to corner Santana.

Denny arrived at his house. He saw Mariam was busy arranging orders for cakes and snacks that had been piled up. To the point of not realizing that Denny had been watching him since.

"It's not my fault, Mas Santana. Wasn't it Mas Santana himself who asked me to look after Mariam, and Shaka. Now don't blame me if I really take care of them. Even if I have to keep them from your unnecessary attitude."

"Enough you as the father of Shakaku, Mas. But no longer someone for my Mariam. He's mine now. Just for me."

Denny recalled, how long he had reminded Santana. For him to rethink his decision when Santana insists on releasing Mariam. Of course, Santana's last messages at that time, still clearly ringing in Denny's ear.

"Mas, it's been there a long time?" mariam blurted out the bersamuk in Denny's mind. The woman smiled at her husband.

At that time, Denny did not reply. Just staring at Mariam, as if locking her gaze so as not to escape. Mariam was wrong.

"What else is it, Mom? What's still about a heart that's afraid of losing me?" mariam toilet.

"T-No, Honey. I'm just fascinated to see you so stunning" she wrote.

"of course. I'll find a reason to lie. Remember mas, no matter how clever your tongue lies, the look in your eyes still can not cover it," said Mariam made Denny dumbfounded.

"Is this guy looking for me, hmm?" denny said as he rubbed the heads of spoiled Shaka. The boy simply replied with a nod, then smiled.

"Thank God you came, Shaka. So I don't have to think about what else to reason, to your mother, to answer her question" Denny said.

"Den, can you ask for help?" Denny's mother approached them. With red and green wool thread in his hand.

"Of course, Mom. Is there anything you need?" ask Denny who is sensitive to her mother's gurgles.

"Yes, Son. Mom's out of thread to embroider. This color alone," replied Mother while showing the wool yarn with red and green in her hand.

"Alright, Mom. Tell me how many rolls you need?" denny asked, making his mother feel happy.

"Not much. Just 2 rolls each color. It seemed like it was enough to finish the embroidery of Mother's roses," Mother explained with a puffed-up smile on her lips.

Without delaying any more time. Denny immediately went to buy the yarn his mother needed. He took Shaka for a walk on his motorcycle.

Mariam knows. Denny was trying to avoid questions from him. He just shook his head in wonder.

"Mom, do you want Mariam to make tea?" mariam said on the sidelines of his busy life. He saw the middle-aged woman was so busy with her embroidery.

"Little sugar. Thank you, son," Mom smiled as she headed to the chair to sit down.

Mariam answered with a smile. One cup of tea with a little sugar Mariam make. Special to the mother-in-law whom he loved so much.

Seriate....
