My Husband's Secret
81. Understand
“Bu, please don't separate me from Riri. I love her so much. I will do anything as long as Mom bless us,” said Adit who was still kneeling next to Mama Rafiqah.
He really can't part with Riri. I don't know what would happen to her life without her next to her. It's up to people to say the man is better, as long as Adit can stay with Riri.
Mama Rafiqah really can't. However, he still loved his daughter's future very much. The woman did not want Riri to get gossip all her life. Love can grow at any time and at anyone.
He was sure that if one day, there would be someone who could make his daughter happy other than Adit. If later Riri still befriended Adit, Mama Rafiqah also can not refuse. As long as that moment arrives the sneer for his daughter is gone.
“Even if you kneel like this, it will not be able to change what I have decided. At any time I will never approve of your relationship. Riri's future is still very long. I can't possibly hand it over to you, which will definitely hurt her even more. Please understand the feelings of a mother. I'm sure you can get a better woman than Riri. We are just poor people who have nothing. I raised Riri alone, I also tried to make her happy even without the affection of a father. So even with today, I will do anything as long as he does not become the subject of ridicule of others.”
Riri who saw Adit's puckish attitude also spoke. She doesn't want her mom to be depressed.
“Mas Adit, this is not just a decision from Mama. I honestly still have feelings for you, but I love my family more than anything. I can't possibly throw dirt at Mama. The one who raised me so much with love. I'm sure Mas Adit really understands what I'm feeling right now. Our family just wants to be calm and happy. Being in a relationship with you will only add to the problems for me and my family. I don't want to embarrass my family for what I did. For this time I beg you, just consider this my last request.”
Adit's heart was broken when he listened to what Riri had just said. It turned out that his actions so severely injured the girl's family that greatly upheld self-esteem. As a man, he wanted to keep what the man wanted to have. However, Adit also could not force others to stay with him.
Especially if it would hurt the girl he loved even more. Maybe it is time for Adit to release Riri so that the girl is happy. The man rose from his bow, he stood up and looked at the woman he had always loved.
“I'm sorry I hurt you so much. I will fulfill your request. Maybe after this we'll never see each other again. Thank you for the time you have given me. I hope you can meet a man who can make you happy, thank you for the many lessons I have learned from you. Me ... I ..”
Adit's breathing was blocked, there were no more words he could say. Everything was stuck in the throat, the tightness that the man felt further hurt his heart. If only Adit solved the problem and Risa quickly. None of this is gonna happen.
However, the rice had already become porridge, everything just ended just like that without any chance of ever being together again. Adit took a deep breath as he rubbed his dripping tears. He did not want to look weak in front of his heart.
The man smiled and said, “Sorry to have interrupted Bu Rafiqah's time and also Riri. My driver will drive you home.”
“It is not necessary, we can take a taxi," said Mama Rafiqah.
Adit knocked on the door three times, it seemed like it was a sign for the person outside to open the door. Sure enough, the door opened looking the person who had picked up Mama Rafiqah and Riri standing in front. Riri looked at her ex-lover before she left the room. Adit just lowered his head, unable to stare at the departure of the woman the man loved.
After Mama Rafiqah and Riri are not seen, Adit asks his subordinates to come out. He wanted to be alone in the room for a moment. Think about the problem he is facing right now. After the door closed, the man shed his tears that he had been holding back.
Although he is a man, Adit also has feelings and heart. Her love for Riri is so great, but due to her stupidity, now she has to lose the woman. If only Adit could try harder to get away from Risa, this would not happen. That man was indeed unfit for Riri.
Riri is a strong and independent woman, while he is a weak man who is afraid of a woman. Breaking away from Risa alone is not able, how can he take care of his wife later. Adit lamented for a long time his fate, until he finally decided to leave from there.
This time the man will try harder to get away from his ex-wife. Although Adit can no longer be with Riri. However, she did not want to forever bond with a cunning woman like Risa. The woman is not worth defending.
Meanwhile, Riri who was in the taxi could only remain silent. Honestly his heart felt very sick to see Adit like that. However, she could not possibly make her mother grieve, after the sacrifice of the woman all this time. Riri believes that God has prepared a soul mate for her.
Mama Rafika could see the sadness on her daughter's face, but compared to Riri's future, it was nothing for her daughter. He was sure that the girl was able to endure this momentary pain. Riri's future is still very long.
“Ri, are you sorry you took off that man?” ask Mama Rafiqah.
“No, Ma. I have no regrets, just feel sad. Not that I want to be with him either. I don't want to be the reason for someone else's grief. I still remember how devastated Sister Maysa was when she found out her husband was with another woman. I don't want to be one of those other women. I myself also do not want someday if I have a husband there is someone else who is the third person in my family. Whatever the reason, whether I am fine or not together with my husband later.”
Mama Rafiqah nodded. He was quite happy with what his daughter thought. The woman also knew how devastated Maysa was back then and she didn't want anyone else to feel it. Especially if you become the perpetrator of the 'third person.
