Mom, Let Me Be Happy
CHAPTER 56. Tears of Anxiety



In the same flower garden, Denny took Mariam and Shaka there. Denny sat alone permeating all the flavors that lay in him. Tears that were held back, making a sense of tightness fill his chest.


"If Mariam had felt how much time I had spent waiting for her, she would never have asked me for more time, to wait any longer."


Denny breathed deeply. Perhaps his willpower could be lost however, it turned out that feeling still filled the space in his soul. Cover the entire surface until it closes the other side.


Denny snorted venting his frustration at the situation. "I thought your availability with me would never change. However, it turns out that you are thinking of Santana's heart, the one who has clearly and blatantly hurt you, Mariam," murmured Denny with his teeth.


Until the time rolls into the afternoon. When dusk begins to come decorate the sky stunning. Denny was still faithful to his grief. Still befriended a million wounds and muddles in his mind.

Mariam is agitated erratically. Pacing with a bad feeling. Waiting for Denny who hasn't come home and out of nowhere.


"Where are you, Mommy? Is that how you got to me? Go home Mas, I'm worried about you" said Mariam with tears ringing.


Really for Mariam, hurting Denny's feelings is not a deliberate act. He did not think Denny would be a bit and sick because of Mariam's attitude. Now the guilt is burning in Mariam.


Mariam ran out of the room. Approaching her mother-in-law who was cool embroidery. The middle-aged woman was sitting on the porch seat of her home.


"Mother, can Mariam ask for help? Shaka is in the room, he doesn't want to eat and talk to Mariam. If you don't mind, please persuade and take care of Shaka for a moment yes, Mom," Mariam said with worried eyes.


Without bidding, the middle-aged woman immediately agreed to what Mariam said. It seemed that the mother of her husband understood, what her daughter-in-law was worried about. He immediately stopped his embroidery activity and stretched his legs to Shaka in the room.


Mariam hastened away from home. Down the road hoping he can find Denny. Until unconscious, the top shirt he wore was a Denny shirt.


"Mas, where are you? Please don't punish me with this kind of guilt," her tears fell unstoppable.


On that lonely road he stopped walking. Crying and continuing to sob. Lamenting his guilt for Denny.


He sits on his knees. With tears flowing down her cheeks. Mariam no longer thinks of herself.


A motorbike lamp shone towards Mariam who was sitting on her knees. The motorcycle stopped its speed right in front of Mariam.


"Mariam, what are you doing here?" said a male motorcyclist, who turned out to be Denny.


Mariam's body trembled and limp. It was night starting. The night light began to dim.


Denny approached and hugged Mariam tightly. Without a word spoken from the mouths of the two men. Mariam returned Denny's embrace with her limp hands.


They hung out for quite a while. Then they let go of each other's embrace, after the tightness and anxiety poured out. The deserted road witnesses the decay of lumps of feeling and worry.


"How could I possibly be away from you, Mariam. Just a second about you can't get away from my memory" said Denny.


Mariam cried again when Denny was still talking lovingly to her, but at that time her heart was hurt.


Seriate....
