Shackles the Heart of the Police Officer

CHAPTER 41 - The Greatest Pressure

It has been an even week that Amy's mother has locked herself in the house since the divorce trial between Rambo and Erin was read out. For seven days there was not a single smile on his old face that began to wrinkle.

Cooked food is hardly touched, except for one or two feed, even because of the coercion of doctor Rani, his first child. Several friends and co-workers contacted him asking for news and from behind the door of his room either anyone in the house, including Rambo himself could hear the voice of Mother Amy's answer, was not feeling well.  

"Bu.tadi Aunty Maya called, asking if Mom was healthy and if tomorrow Mom so join a monthly meeting at the office." Rambo said slowly as he tidied up the clothes in the suitcase to his mother who was sitting on the sofa, looking blankly at the outside courtyard.

But Amy's mom was quiet. Anyone including Rambo himself was convinced his voice was louder than the carefree sound in the outer courtyard and everyone also knew Mother Amy was actually listening, only choosing to ignore Rambo.

"Mom." said Rambo once again.

"No. Mom doesn't want to come. Mom shy. Where'd Rambo's face go?" amy's mother replied sniffling though in a tone full of despair.

Rambo remained silent. Rambo knew very well what his mother meant, already repeatedly Mother Amy said the same thing to Rambo and Doctor Rani, embarrassed. Since the divorce that occurred between Rambo and his ex-wife, Amy's mother began to show annoyance, until Rani's doctor reported and asked Rambo to come to their house to stay for a while, never once did Mom say that word.

She felt ashamed that her son's marriage ran aground and ended in divorce, for Amy's mother the marriage was something that was absolute to keep, unfortunately Rambo insisted not to obey his words to return to Erin. He is ashamed to be spoken about by his friends, co-workers and family about the failed child's household, which would be considered as his failure as well as his parents.

"Did you hear what Mom said?" suddenly Amy's mother's voice rose. Make Rambo surprised and aware of his daydream. "Shy, this mother is ashamed to know no. Your late father's name will be smeared in the family! and people close!"

"Mom, my divorce has already happened and I have no regrets! Erin is not good at taking care of the household, her mind is just a career. Even after the wedding I wasn't allowed to touch her at all, so it's only natural that I divorce her. Ma! What more do I expect from such a person? She doesn't deserve to be anyone's wife if she still wants to be!" rambo said frustrated, just like his mother, he had explained this many times.

"Your wife is so certain there's a reason, Rambo! You should introspect yourself first. You've done your best yet as a husband? Maybe your salary is less so Erin is still pursuing a career! That's why I said you continue your father's company, to be more successful. It's even become a cop, time out thin money. Your wife's getting less attention."

"Mom!"

"Well, with your own birth mother you dare such a high voice, especially with your wife? No wonder Erin used to cry!"

Rambo was unable to resist the growls and cries that raced to get out and immediately return to his own home. Obviously it hurts to be treated like a criminal while the person who should be the defender and support him at a time like this, instead alleging that everything that happened was Rambo's own fault.

"Mom, Aunt Maya's son is also divorced from her husband."

"Yes but it's appropriate because her husband is brash, how many times have cheated, if caught even playing. It's only natural that he asked for a divorce. And again, everywhere should the wife who filed for divorce voluntarily, is not the wife is the victim, she is taken responsibility by a man, but if the man can not be responsible? Husband who asked for divorce. It's strange! The perpetrator feels victim, the victim is the perpetrator."

"Mom, I'm a mother's son. Why can't you understand what it's like to be me?"

"The parent does not see which child is not, if the child is wrong, it must be told. What would it be like to be a man if defended a bit? Your boss also has no sense, play easy to give a letter filing for divorce. About the law, what kind of friends ruin such a family." Amy's mother's voice was quite loud, so the conditions around them became heated.

"It has nothing to do with Anta Reza, ma'am. It's my own wish. He was so helpful to my situation."

"help you? Are you being held by Erin? If you just don't serve it's okay, let's learn to be a good man too! Erin is so natural, you do not forget that she is a rich man's child, you just look at your mother, she is also not good at cooking and cleaning, her husband knows. Because your mother was a specialist doctor, a college education, born from a good family, the economy was also top class. You should understand that as well. Put on the maid!" Said Amy's mother again with a super high tone. "Why? so the pay cop's small, right? can't afford a maid."

Rambo set his breath, set his patience before answering again. "Will you if your own child is trampled on by his wife and not respected for the rest of his life?"

Hate Rambo to hear this, even his own mother is more concerned with his social status than the happiness of his own son. Rambi could not answer anymore, the despair towards his mother far exceeded that of Erin. His mother then softened and held Rambo's shoulder.

"Let's stop being a cop, just go with the family company. I'm sure that if you have high possessions and offices, Erin will not be troubled." Said Amy's mother.

"Mom, I told you, Erin and I are divorced. I can pursue my own happiness, and in the police I have a job, my salary is more than enough."

"What are you talking about? What the hell is in your head, huh!?" Amy's mother answered while hitting Rambo on the head, but the pain was just a small part in his chest. "Aren't you going to listen to your mother's words anymore? You have been disobedient twice, to your wife and to your mother.

"Bu. "persuade Rambo again, this time in a better tone. 

"Are you conscious? I've been trying to find a woman equal to our family to deserve it, you want to go back to Erin?" ask Amy's mom.

"No, Ma. A thousand sorry but I don't want to go back with him." replied Rambo.

"Why then did you come to this house and talk to Mom? You're an ungodly child, please your parents just don't want to. This is your own mother begging you to go back to Erin. I'm hard-earned to find the perfect partner for you, I'm much smarter looking for a ghost, not like you're looking for street women, poor have no education, origins are unclear." Amy's mother's voice began to sound impatient. Rambo seems to have reached the end of his patience.

"Enough mom! never demean others. It's just that if I'm to be honest, that woman is much better than the Erin that I chose."

"Bad!" Amy's mother's getting high. He got up from the sofa and rebuked Rambo even to raise his index finger, pointing at his face. Rambo. "You are disobedient to your mother because you do not want to return the favor of your own mother! You're going to hell! I'm not asking you for anything, not for money or anything, I just want you to go back to your wife and fix your household! Show that your kids are successful! That's all I asked Rambo for!"

"I don't owe anything to Mom!" Said Rambo. "Mom would rather see her son denigrated than Mother's name tarnished?"

"If that's the only option, I'd rather not give birth to a child, at least it's more honorable! instead of raising her, she's a dissident."

Unable to bear it, Rambo ends up going straight to the room, while Amy's mother screams at him and knocks through Rambo's bedroom door blindly like a madman. Rambo immediately collected his clothes and put them in a suitcase. Before long she opened the door, her mother still with eyes full of anger and tears ready to scold her again.

"If I have to go to hell for being ungodly, please, I have been living in hell all this time, but at least after this I still have the rest of my life to fight for. If you want to swear to me right now please," Rambo said coldly to his mother while waiting for her mother's reaction.

A few minutes passed without any reaction, Rambo dragged his suitcase and left the house. With an incomparably blurry look and heartache, I turned on the car. Rambo believes this is the last time he will set foot in his own mother's house.

After this he will face all bravely and will not retreat to fight for freedom from the fate of evil choices and parents who have the heart to make their children just a mere exhibition material. Whatever happens, he will not despair of his hope, Marwah.
