Sharing Love: My Husband Married Without My Permission

128. Mother's Rejection

"We accidentally met at the mall, Mom. Yesterday Ayu went with others, but we accidentally met because Arga nolongin Ayu from Mas Hilman," I answered honestly. I'm still scared.

Mother breathed out violently. "Mom hope you're not close to Arga, Yu. You know, how did he get you into the police station? He's a real man, Yu. Shame on Mom the next time you go to the police station!" exclaim Mother with a sad tone.

I approached Mom and sat down next to her. Holding the hand of a skinny mother.

"Mom, but that's the past. After all, it wasn't Arga who took Ayu to where it used to be. That's Arga's friend who invited Ayu, Mom. Arga never brought Ayu to anything that is not good" I said in self-defense.

"It won't be easy to change, Yu. Especially Arga active users!" said Mother with an angry tone.

"Mom. Now Arga has changed. He doesn't like that anymore."

"Who knows, Yu. It's not easy to escape from drugs."

"But it's been a long time, ma'am. Arga said he's rehab and he's clean now" I told Mom. She pulled his hand and stood up.

"Mom doesn't believe me" replied Mother. "It could be that he is good in front of you to be able to get your sympathy." Mom walked towards her room.

"Mom! Mama! Miss Dengerin Ayu first. Don't think of anything like that. People can change, Mom!"

My mother's door closed quickly.

Seeing Mom's attitude just made this heart ache. This pain felt rejected by my own mother. Without feeling my tears flow for a moment.

I went into the room and lay on my stomach hugging my bedmate's pillow every night. This heart really hurts. It's almost the same with my memories of the past when Mom talked me away from Arga back at the police station.

Does this mean my love journey won't be smooth anymore?

If I raise the call and Arga realizes that my crying voice won't make her feel sad and guilty too?

...***...

By morning, I was ready for my work clothes. Food is served on the dining table.

"Mom doesn't want you to get close to Arga anymore, Yu. Please obey Mom. Don't make Mom worry about your situation" said Mother who is now washing cooking utensils.

"Mom, can't you trust Ayu? He's changed, Mom." I still don't want to give up.

"You'd better marry Ustadz Zain or Doctor Wira, Mother will be calmer if you marry one of them than you marry a former user who can one day return to her world," said Mother again.

I feel confused. What else do I have to do with Mom?

"If Ayu can prove that Arga won't be like that anymore, will I allow Ayu to get in touch with Arga?"

Mom's hand stopped when I said that.

"This is what I don't like, since when did you refute Mother's words, Yu? Just met with Arga you can already argue with Mom. I'm just asking you not to get close to Arga, is Mom wrong?" say Mother again.

"But I'm just afraid Arga's back in her world, right? Ayu's sure she's been a good human being, Mom."

"Mom doesn't like it" said Mother, then left me and went into her room.

I sat down sluggishly on the chair. How should I talk again?
