My madam, my poison
The price of betrayal
Today is a holiday. I intend to take Lyra, my mother, and my former mother-in-law out to eat.
"Mother, later to the restaurant where the belmainnya yes," said Lyra shortly after I put the hijab on her head.
"Yes, Honey. Lyra's going anywhere, '" I said.
"Horay!" her cheering.
"Titip house yes, Bi. We go first, Assalamu'alaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam, be careful, ma'am."
"Bial Lyla opened the door!" my little princess excited. He ran to the door and opened it.
We were surprised by the presence of someone standing on the porch of the house. Although I turned my back to the door, I had already memorized his posture.
"Fabian?"
"Dad!"
Lyra who had not met her biological father for a long time also ran and poured into his arms.
"Lyla kangen Daddy. Why don't you live in this house?" lyra said with her innocent eyes.
"Father also miss Lyra. I'm sorry I can't stay with Lyra."
"Why? You're busy, aren't you?" ask Lyra again.
Fabian nodded his head in response.
From Lyra, the view of my ex-husband turned to his mother. As her birth mother, my former mother-in-law seemed completely indifferent to Fabian's presence. Don't approach or invite him to talk. He turned his face away.
"Mother, …"
Bu Kinanti still refused to look at that face. I understand, Fabian's treatment of him all this time was quite painful. After sending him to the nursing home, he seemed to just hands off.
"Thank God, I can walk again now" Fabian said.
Bu Kinanti was silent. He still refused to look at his son's face.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I've been sinning a lot on Mom." Fabian was about to grab the mother's hand, but she brushed it off.
"Mom can be mad at me, I have every right to hate me. This is the reward I receive for the sins I have committed on Mother, as well as on Zura" Fabian said.
Ms. Kinanti still refused to speak.
"Why are you quiet? Speak up, Mum." This time Fabian dropped his knee and rested in front of his mother.
"Go, I don't have any more children. Both my children are dead" said Bu Kinanti in a trembling voice.
"The baby is alive, ma'am. Why do you talk that way?" his protest.
"Just do what you want to do!"
"Punish your son, ma'am."
Fabian forced both of her hands and kissed her repeatedly.
"There go! I don't want to see your face anymore!"
"Bian apologize, Mom. Bian's sorry."
Somehow the scene presented in front of me made my chest feel so tight. But the wound in the heart of Bu Kinanti who was too deep it might not heal just with an apology.
"Zura, if you want to go, go. Mother suddenly did not feel well" said Bu Kinanti. I'm sure that's just his excuse because his mood is gone. He was so enthusiastic when I ate outside with Lyra and my real mother.
"Speak, Mum. Don't let Bian be like this."
Like a child whining, Fabian repeatedly pulled the end of the clothes worn by the mother.
"Go away" said the cold mother.
"I'm not going anywhere until Mom accepts my apology" Fabian said.
"Why is Grandma the same as Dad? What's wrong dad?" ask Lyra.
"But grandma Kinanti don't even be the same father."
"Yes, honey."
Mom took Lyra's hand and took her into my car.
"For now, maybe I don't want to talk. I hope you can understand" I told Fabian just after Mom and Lyra got in the car.
"I realized my mistake with my mother was huge. Am I wrong if I come to apologize?"
"What you've done to my mother has made her heart so hurt. Understand, he just needs time" I said.
Fabian was only able to resign when the mother really left him and went into the house.
The mood was silent for a moment.
"Oh yeah, how do you know my home address?" my many.
"It's easy to find the address of the convection that is quite famous in this city."
"Thank God, what I get now is thanks to the hard work and prayers of my mother."
"Zura .. It's not too late. We can still fix everything" Fabian said.
I grinned wryly.
"What is it that wants to be fixed? The ship we were riding on really has been shipwrecked, because what? You as his skipper can't control his pace well."
"We can ride a new ship, can't we?"
"Sorry, I can't. You already have two wives, don't you?"
"I'll drop the talaq on Mila soon."
"Lantas, what about Silvia?"
"I'm also divorced from him. Silvia is caught cheating, and the man turns out to be her father's personal assistant, Evan."
"Although not husband and wife anymore, we can be friends. We're gonna raise Lyra together."
"But, I-I still have feelings for you. You still have a space in my heart."
Once again I grinned wryly.
"Unfortunately I'm not."
"Compared to me who is just a cafe waitress with a small salary, a woman like you will definitely choose the rich man" Fabian said.
"Whoever men are close to me, it is none of your business. I'm sorry, Lyra and I have waited too long" I said as I passed in front of Fabian.
"Wait on! We're not done talking."
Suddenly Fabian pulled my arm.
"Sorry, can you take my hand?" sindirku.
"I want us to regroup. I promise I'll never hurt you or let you down."
"I go first, Assalamu'alaikum."
"Zura, please."
"You who have made this feeling die. This is the price of a betrayal that you have to pay for" I said before I actually left it and got into the car.
