S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#86
Now Lucy and Andre's mother are in Andre's workspace in his apartment. Lucy sat opposite the mother of her lover, she really did not understand how her mother Andre called her in this room and there were only the two of them.
"So, how long have you known Andre?" ask Andre's mother to Lucy.
"Virtually a year old lady" said Lucy politely.
"What has my son given you? Looks like you're enjoying being the lover of my son." said Andre's mother.
"S-I.." said Lucy cut off.
He was really confused what to answer, if he said the truth must be Andre's mother would look down on him as a woman who only wanted the property of a rich man. But on the other hand he is not good at how to lie to older people, and certainly Andre's mother will know the truth someday. Lucy also tried to dare to speak and look into the eyes of Andre's mother who had looked at him with an intimidating look.
"Madam, I apologized to you earlier because I may not be the person you expect to be next to your son. I was the son of a divorced farmer, my mother took me to the village and raised me along with my grandmother. As for my father, he was." Lucy said again disconnected.
"What's wrong with your dad? Why did you stop saying that?" ask Andre's mother.
"He's... He's a gambler and a drunk, but he's still my dad anyway and I respect him. Andre has helped me a lot, from giving me a place to live, finance and also a job at the company" said Lucy honestly.
"What....? Andre gave it all to you?" ask her mother not to believe.
"Yes, even Andre bought a dress and jewelry and told me to wear it... To be.." said Lucy confused.
Lucy just bowed quietly a thousand words, no matter what Andre's mother said it was the reality and all that can not be denied by anyone.
Andre's mother let out a long sigh and leaned her body against the back of the chair. He stared fixedly at the petite Lucy while thinking long, how could his son have feelings for this woman. In the past, it was very difficult to open your heart to women.
"Alright Lucy, so what are your advantages to the point that Andre chose you to be his lover? While I know my son is very tasteful in choosing a partner" said Andre's mother.
"I also don't know what Andre likes about me mistress, sometimes I ask myself about it" Lucy said plainly.
Andre's mother just silently heard Lucy's words, appearing on her face dissatisfaction with the answer of the girl in front of him.
"You know, the girl I brought here is the girl I'm going to marry Andre to. He is a specialist in internal medicine and will be hospital chief within two months. What is certain about your education and materials is very much different from him. Do you think you deserve to compete with him?" ask Andre's mother.
Lucy was speechless to hear all the words of Andre's mother, not to be compared with a doctor Ratih, she also felt unworthy to be with Andre.
"My husband and I were also not originally from a well-established family. We are also farmers and eat food every day. But, Andre managed to raise his difficult family and can even send his sister to college and get a degree. I'm a mother who knows how my son struggles from the ground up to this very moment. So Lucy, am I wrong if I find the best woman for my child's companion?" ask Andre's mother again.
Lucy felt completely suffocated by all of Andre's mother's words, what Andre's mother said was as if a sword was raining down on her body to give up on this relationship. It is natural for a mother to want the best for her son who is already struggling desperately to raise his family's status. Which parents do not want to see the success of their children and their future successors.
