NOT A WEDDING DRAMA

CHAPTER 8

"What is this really about?" Ask Aldrich wonder.

"You listened to the woman's chatter when your credit card couldn't be used by her. She swore she would drive Papap and Mama away if she was your wife and would make Papap and Mama homeless on the street." Fariz said with great emphasis.

"That's a lie, Al. Your mama who demeaned me and called me no money when shopping earlier." Metha said in self-defense.

Aldrich scrunched his forehead, "What max do you think the socialite-ass mom who wants you to sip that one kilo of chili is my mom, Tha?"

"Foolish man, why did he tell the details to a kilo of chili." Inner Metha.

"No, you saw this woman's behavior." Fariz said with emotion.

"But, Al. Your mama started it first." Metha tries to influence Aldrich.

"Stop!!" Stevi Sahut.

"Al, Mama doesn't approve of you with her. If you still stay with her, you better choose Mama or her. Mama doesn't care if you have to lose a son who prefers other women." Stevi said with a trembling tone.

"Ma..." Lirih Aldrich's.

"Think well, Al. If you choose this woman, then you will lose Papap and Mama. You'll also papap a scribble of the ultimate inheritance rights. Please leave without bringing the Dewantara family facilities." Fariz said with great emphasis.

Aldrich just froze, for whatever sake he loved Papap and his mother, only, Aldrich also wanted Metha in his life.

"Aldrich went back to Metha, Pap, Ma." Aldrich lethargic.

"Oh yeah, go ahead." Answer Stevi lightly.

"And Al, your apartment has been sold, and the goods he has been cleared by Joni. Joni moved him to a rented house, and Papap already paid the contract for a month. Next please he find his own place." Fariz said to Aldrich, pointing to Him who means Metha.

Metha looked furious but she could only clench her hands.

"Joni will take the woman to her new place" Fariz said.

"Al will still drive him, Pap." Aldrich.

"Please, but if you're still with him, then get out of this company." Fariz said again.

Aldrich did not reply, he immediately pulled Metha's hand out of Fariz's room.

Joni takes Aldrich and Metha to Fariz's rented house for a month. Metha stared in dislike at his place, a small house in a government-subsidized housing environment that had not been renovated at all.

"Al, I can't stay here." Metha.

Aldrich just sighed, while Joni only listened to a drama played by Metha.

"Patience, Tha. I'll convince my parents first." Aldrich.

"Can't you just take me to the hotel, Al." Pinta Metha's.

"Can't, Tha. I don't hold cash and all my cards are blocked by Papap." Answer Aldrich.

"Keep you can do what, Al?" Metha asked as if she was underestimating Aldrich.

"I'll call you later, Tha." Aldrich turned his body to leave Metha at his rented house.

"You're just a useless stupid man, Al." Metha.

Aldrich breathed. "You can't accept my condition like this, Tha?"

"Of course not, where would I want to live hard with you, if you were removed from the heir I'd better leave you alone." Metha.

A car stopped right behind Aldrich's car. Joni knows who's coming because Joni's been investigating a lot about Metha.

"Dimas." Call Metha.

Dimas walked over to Metha while throwing a cynical look at Aldrich and then kissed Metha's lips at a glance.

Apparently silent Metha contacted Dimas slama on the trip earlier, and Metha asked Dimas to pick him up.

"METHA!!" Jerky Aldrich.

"WHAT??" Reply Metha no less snapping.

"Originally you know, Al. You are not the only man in my life. All this time I've been cheating on you by spending your money with Dimas, a mighty man and nothing like you."

"You should reject me if I seduce you, I think that yours is problematic, or perhaps you are a fellow eggplant lover." Answer Metha condescendingly.

Aldrich was not inexhaustible with Metha's answer, but he only respected and appreciated Metha's honor, but unexpectedly, it turns out Metha is the most disgusting woman.

Aldrich left without saying a word it turned out to be true what his parents said, if Metha is not a good woman either. All this time Aldrich was tricked by Metha, used and only fooled.

Joni opened the car door for his boss' son, he felt unbearable with what was experienced by Aldrich.

"Young master." Call Joni.

"I'm stupid, Jon." Lirih Aldrich's.

"No sir. Not a foolish Master, it is indeed that woman who is not grateful." Joni answered from behind the wheel. Joni is concerned about the fate of her boss's son. Several times he noticed Aldrich from the rearview.

Aldrich sighed harshly, if there was Davan, he would have complained to him. But now Davan is in the land of Uncle Sam, the difference in time makes them difficult to communicate.

Chelsea, it occurred to Aldrich to visit Chelsea, but the position of Chelsea who are married despite his own cousin makes Aldrich feel bad.

"Young man, are we going home?" Joni asked, breaking the silence.

"Yes.. Take me home. Where else am I going, Jon." Aldrich said not excited.

Joni drove Aldrich home to Dewantara. There Stevi waited anxiously for him.

"I..." Get Stevi.

Aldrich looked at Stevi's worried face.

"Mama hasn't slept?" Ask Aldrich.

"Mama is waiting for you." Stevi replied with a forced smile, trying to cover up her worries.

"Ma, Al wants to eat." Aldrich.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Stevi asked who started holding Aldrich's arm.

"Not yet, Ma." Answer Aldrich.

"All right, Mama's gonna make you some food."

Aldrich sat at the bar table and looked at Stevi preparing groceries.

"Mama made what?" Ask Aldrich.

"Fettucini carbonara, will you? Or another Mama masakin?" Ask Stevi.

"That's it, Ma. You know I'm a pasta lover." Answer Aldrich.

Stevi smiled, but Stevi could not hide her tears.

"This must be because of the onions that Mama sliced." Stevi said as she raised her face while shaking her hands in front of her eyes, hoping that the water would not slide down her smooth cheeks.

Aldrich knew his mother was not well, since childhood Aldrich was close to the mother, because Fariz many seized his time in the company of his late grandfather's legacy, making Aldrich only close to Stevi.

Aldrich could not help himself, he hugged the mother from behind, wrapped his arms around her chest.

"I'm sorry, Al, Ma." Aldrich.

Stevi turned her body and went into the arms of the child, "I'm sorry Mama is selfish, Al. Mama's only heartache when she hears that woman will make Mama and Papap homeless."

Aldrich tightened his arms, "Al is stupid, Ma. I'm sorry Al."

"Don't cry, Ma. Forgive Al. Al promised to follow Mama's will."

"Mama just wants you to get a good woman, Al. Getting married is a sign that you have a partner for life. Mama wants you to be with a partner who really loves you without frills Dewantara in your life." Stevi was still crying in Aldrich's arms.

Aldrich rubbed gently affectionately the head of the Mama, "Yes, Ma.. Al's gonna get the woman who sees Al for who he is."

As Aldrich recalled Davan's words, "Don't be foolish, love may be, but you must still use your common sense, Al."
