Not the Son of the Prostitute

Anger Naila

The world of Mutia seemed to collapse, his dream of marrying Yusuf–lelaki who he loved so much was destroyed already. The girl no longer knew what to do. Tomorrow should be the happiest day for him. The most historic day when he and Joseph made a sacred promise and joined at the temple. However, all is just wishful thinking because the prospective husband has canceled it suddenly.

Stepping aside, Mutia left Joseph's residence with a torn heart. It's not just about the failed marriage. But, the insults and insults they aimed at the mother really made Mutia destroyed.

"You're the son of an actor, Mutia. Your Mama– is a laxative! I wouldn't have a daughter-in-law like you!" The words kept ringing in his ears. It was as if what they were accusing was really reality.

How could they accuse her of being an actor? Is it because of her mother's status as a single parent? Though he knew if all this time his mother was a good woman, a great woman who always struggled to support her family.

"Sorry, Miss, you haven't paid the taxi fare yet." The sound of the taxi driver who drove him earlier spread Mutia's daydream. The girl wiped her tears immediately and tried to hide her sadness earlier.

"Sorry, sir, I was in a hurry." Mutia forced a smile. He asked the taxi to drive him home.

Throughout the journey Mutia can only daydream, imagine the story of his love with Joseph that has been intertwined for almost half a year. But, all ran aground without any leftovers. Joseph, who had promised to protect her, and insulted her.

Mutia sighed heavily. The girl twitched her own temple which suddenly pulsed. As if reluctant to think about it again, the girl lay her head down for a moment, waiting until the taxi arrived in front of her humble yard.

"Mutia, wherever you are!" Just as Mutia had set her foot down from the taxi, the mama had already welcomed her in with a sharp look. The forty-something-year-old woman was standing right in front of the door that the girl was about to walk through.

"Your mom told you not to go anywhere! Why even run?" naila said with an anxious face. Being too busy taking care of the wedding preparations, the woman could not always control her daughter's activities.

"Remember, Mutia, you're on the sidelines because it's your wedding tomorrow morning!" The woman seemed to panic once, or was afraid that something might befall her daughter.

Mutia looked up to hear the expression of the mother. He is confused himself to explain how.

"Mas Yusuf just canceled this marriage, Ma," said Mutia with a sad face. The girl looked down not daring to look at the face of the mother who was standing looking at her.

"Don't mess around, Mutia! You ...." Naila couldn't believe hearing it with her daughter's expression. How could Joseph just cancel it. While the building and all party supplies are ready, the invitation has been spread from far away.

"I'm not kidding, Ma. Joseph himself intentionally annulled this marriage."

Naila was suffocated. His body suddenly slumped to the floor along with his stammering speech. "Ba ... How come?" whispers lirih. There has been a lot that Naila put out for the event to take place lively. The savings he had accumulated for two years were not left to pay for the building and other equipment. While from Joseph's side, I don't know .. he said they are from a wealthy family, in fact, for the reception fee they can only pay for the bride's makeup.

"Where are you going?" Now change Mutia panic when she saw the mother who suddenly got up and stepped towards the front door.

"Of course to Joseph's house. Mama wants to know why they suddenly canceled your wedding!" naila said with great enthusiasm. The woman stepped out of the house and prepared to call a taxi.

"Ma, wait!" Mutia was confused herself. There's no way he's telling me why they're canceling their wedding now. But, if he let the mother go, it means he let the woman who had given birth to him hurt. Mutia did not want her mother to get any insults from Joseph's family.

Naila no longer paid any heed to Mutia's call. After getting a taxi, Naila immediately rolled into the residence of his future daughter-in-law.

It didn't take long for Naila to arrive in front of the luxury gate of her future home. For a moment he stared in amazement at the building in front of him. Until a few seconds passed Naila only realized when a security guard reprimanded him from behind the gate.

"Sorry, who are you looking for?"

Naila flinched and hurriedly controlled herself again. He remembered his plan when he came to the house.

"Daddy doesn't know me?"

Mr. Satpam frowned with a puzzled look. "Who are you?"

Naila breathed a long breath. "I am Joseph's future father-in-law. Is he home?"

The security guard only understood that the woman in front of him was the former future in-law of his employer, who was none other than the mother of the girl who cried earlier.

"So, Mrs Joseph's former mother-in-law, is that it?" The expression of the security guard had suddenly made the woman in front of him widen his two eyes.

"What! What did you say, former in-laws!" reply Naila with a blade-sharp look. "Mister, don't play games! Quick, open the gate, I want to see my son-in-law!" Naila is still trying to hide that fact even though she has heard from her daughter that their marriage has been canceled.

"The reality is like that, Mom. I even heard myself when Mr. Joseph kicked Mother's daughter out of here." The guard smiled cynically.

Naila's face immediately flushed. The woman did not expect that her daughter had received ill treatment from a man she had always considered good.

"What did you say?" The woman's chest rumbled violently hearing the confession from the security guard earlier. Who would want their daughter to be treated like that?

"Surely Mother's daughter hasn't told her what's going on here? Or, did he deliberately hide it because he did not want to until his mother was disappointed?" The security guard even further ignited Naila's anger, so it felt like the woman wanted to get angry and destroy whatever was in front of her.

From inside, two well-dressed men were walking towards the gate. Yusuf was shocked to see the arrival of his former future father-in-law.

"You!!" Naila growled as her eyes looked at the man standing behind Joseph. Likewise with the father who walked behind him, Broto did not expect to be found again with a proud woman who had refused him outright.

"You're the girl's mother." Broto smiled sinisterly looking towards Naila.

"Joseph, he ...."
