NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)
NDA - 10



Ms. Lisa just told Selenia her plans to go to New York after dinner. She invites Selenia to help her pack her clothes and some of the necessities she will bring to her. It just so happened that these items had been transported to Adam's house. Tomorrow Ms. Lisa and Mr. Edwin will depart on the first flight in the morning.


Meanwhile, Adam asked Miss Lisa to book tickets through online ticketing services. Although Selenia had heard this from her father and Adam, but still when Miss Lisa said that, she could not hide her sadness. The house will be back. Especially since the day after Adam has returned to work as usual.


"You have to get used to the new things dong son...life must go on right? Do you want to walk in place?" Miss Lisa stroked Selenia's hair lovingly.


"I just want a cozy, warm, friendly home. Like fitting there is Papa and Mama here," said Selenia Lirih. "That atmosphere reminds me of my childhood when Mama was there."


Miss Lisa sighed. He's actually heavy too. Moreover, Selenia's eyes look teary. So swiftly Bu Lisa immediately hugged Selenia tightly. That made Selenia even more unable to stem her tears. Not even Miss Lisa left the house, the quiet atmosphere had first enveloped Selenia's heart.


"You can definitely create that atmosphere with Adam son," Lisa smiled. "Mama sure. You two can make the atmosphere of this house much more comfortable than it is today."


Selenia looked at her in-laws face. Where possible? Adam was rarely home when he was busy.


"Well, long time in New York?" ask Selenia later.


Miss Lisa shrugged her shoulders. "Mama doesn't know yet, son. Well, I hope it doesn't take long, yeah," he rubbed Selenia's arm. "Udah dong don't be sad. Mom and Dad go home. Your father's coming soon anyway, right?"


"Yes, I'm not sure when you're coming home. But even if Dad came home, he couldn't possibly stay here, "whimper Selenia.


"Yes, you will ask your father to stay here for a few days. Can't you?"


"Yes if you want," Lips Selenia pursed "Tomorrow I can not anterin Mama and Papa also dong. Why suddenly gini? Why not go the day after?"


Bu Lisa giggled at Selenia's spoiled whimper. She hugged Selenia even tighter. You could say, Selenia is the luckiest daughter-in-law in the world because it has in-laws like Miss Lisa. A father-in-law who can think of him as his own son.


"She has to leave tomorrow, son. So that Papa and Mama can rest first before attending his invitation... Mama is sad, you know," Miss Lisa wiped Selenia's tears. "You don't need Papa's anther with Mama. There is Adam. You should go to school tomorrow, right?"


Adam who at that time wanted to go into the room to tell his mother that the ticket business was clear was forced to undo his intentions when he saw Mama and his wife were hugging.


Why is Selenia crying? What's up, huh? Adam wondered.


...🌺🌺🌺...


Adam smiles at his mother's story saying that Selenia would feel lonely if Mr. Edwin and Ms. Lisa went to New York. That night when everyone at home was asleep, the two of them chatted in the dining room while enjoying a snack.


"Mama ingetin same you Dam. Don't focus too much on your work. Selenia complains of loneliness at home. Your people if you leave early in the morning when Selenia has not left the room. While the return of Selenia was asleep," Oceh Bu Lisa advised her only child.


Adam took a long breath. Mama's right. But not without reason he did all that. During this time Adam always like that because he felt Selenia uncomfortable if too often met with him. So he always leaves early in the morning and deliberately takes overtime so that when he comes home, Selenia is asleep. So at least they do not need to interact often.


"Yes de Ma. From tomorrow I'll rearrange my schedule" Adam said.


"Make the incident you entered the hospital yesterday as a reprimand. That's probably because all this time you've been too hardworker," Miss Lisa started babbling. "Healthy is extensive. Inget it. No matter how much money you have, it will be in vain if you are sick."


"I work for my future with Selenia Ma, too" Adam said.


"Yes Mama knows. But health is also important. You also have a wife to watch out for. Are you the same as Selenia? He you're staying here with. but...." Ms. Lisa did not continue her words and just sneered with a smile.


"But Dam," Miss Lisa folded her hands together. "Mama wants to be with you."


"What Ma?" Adam frowned looking at his mother who was starting to look serious.


"Initially... How do you feel about Selenia?"


Adam paused for a moment, then shook his head slowly.


"Mama Dam's air."


"Why is Mama that?"


Lisa's mom is down. He was silent for a long time. He had a lot to say, but he was confused where to start. To be honest he felt guilty for Adam because of this marriage. But he also could not refuse Kalila's final request. Sometimes there is a sense of regret in Ms. Lisa because they used to tell about their children's matchmaking.


"Dam" Lisa's got Adam's hand. "If you're not happy, you mean your mom. if you're not happy with this marriage....."


"Ma!" cut Adam fast. He pulled his hand from the grasp of Miss Lisa. "What did you say? I mean, Mama asked me to do a Selenia story?" ask Adam lirih. She was in a daze, afraid that Selenia would suddenly appear and hear their conversation. Can misunderstand and be messed up later.


"Mama just don't want to squirm you two are not happy, that's all. Besides why maintain a relationship if in reality you two can't enjoy it?"


"Why is Mama talking like that anyway?" Adam grunted softly.


"Yes.... because actually this marriage is not your wish, right? So why keep it if in fact you are like strangers in your own home? Stay together, but like don't know each other." Lisa shrank the volume. "Mama did not turn on you or Selenia, but if indeed you two are both forced, not happy? Married people have a purpose. A happy, harmonious family, having children...." Lisa bit her lip. I can't seem to talk any further.


"I know Ma. And whatever the reason, for me the marriage wasn't for toys" Adam said. "In the beginning, I was surprised when Mama told me about Aunt Kalila's last request. But how else? This may have been my destiny. So please don't ever talk like that again. Whatever it is, I'll always accept what's going on in my life, Ma. I will keep trying to love Selenia, and I will also keep trying to make her accept me. I just need Mama's support." Adam later added.


Miss Lisa's eyes are glazed. He was moved to hear the words of his wise son. Without saying any more, he immediately hugged Adam tightly and kissed his son's forehead many times.


Meanwhile, someone apparently stole their chat from behind the wall. She's Selenia. He went to the kitchen to get a drink. But his steps stopped when he heard the chatter from the kitchen, as Adam said 'I work for the future of me and Selenia Ma'.


Selenia's chest felt so claustrophobic hearing Adam's words. He never thought that Adam was so valuable as to consider this relationship. He always tried to give his best and continued to learn to love himself. But what has Selenia been doing? He was indifferent to Adam and never paid any attention to him.


The marriage was not the desire of both of them, but Adam still accepted all that with a positive mind and hope. He never even had the desire to divorce himself.


Selenia clutched tightly to her own body. Deep down, she regretted ignoring Adam all along.


Oh my...


Selena could not help but cry. He abandoned his intention to take drinking water and chose to return to the room. He was unable to come face to face with Adam after hearing everything he said tonight.
