Sharing Love: My Husband Married Without My Permission

14. Ayu Request

Tonight I stayed at the hospital to accompany my mother, as well as Mas Hilman. He'll keep me company to look after mom.

Mom looked peaceful in her sleep, not a second did I take my eyes off of her. His old face looked very tired.

"I'm out first. Find food" said Mas Hilman. I turned a little to Mas Hilman and nodded my head. It's been past eight o'clock. Mas Hilman rushed out.

Not long after he came back don't bring a crackle in his hand and call me to switch to sitting on the sofa. We eat in silence.

Just five mouthfuls I had eaten, Mas Hilman said, "Yu. I want to ask you for help. Can you?" ask Mas Hilman. I lifted my head and looked at him.

"What?"

"On Hana ...." Mas Hilman fell silent after saying that name. I became lazy to continue eating this, but my stomach was already sore because I was late with my dinner.

"What's wrong?" ask me by throwing my face the other way.

"I'm honest with you, Yu." I lyrics Mas Hilman who now lowered his face. He looked like it was hard to continue his words.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly, afraid that my mother would wake up and hear our conversation. I have not talked about Mas Hilman's marriage to Hana to mother, and I also asked Mas Hilman not to discuss the matter of his second marriage in front of mother.

"Honestly, I'd be heavy if Hana had to stay apart." I stopped my chewing and looked at him sharply. Suddenly the food I ate was like a sharp hard pebble wounding my mouth.

Mas Hilman was still down, not wanting to look at me.

"I'm hard to divide my income, Yu. I have too much to give and I'm not sure if I can also pay for Hana's rented house, especially if I also have to save for Hannah's preparation later." Mas Hilman let out his heavy-sounding breath.

"Please, can you stay on one roof with him?"

There was a hint of resentment inside the chest while listening to that. Mas Hilman agreed to lease a house for the woman.

"Can't! I don't want to stay on one roof with him. I can't stand her attitude, Mom. Moreover, mother always came and highly praised him. I'm like a son-in-law who's no longer wanted."

"Yu ...."

"If Mas Hilman couldn't contract a house for Hana, why wasn't he told to stay with mom? After all, I would be happy if her favorite daughter-in-law lived there with her" I said coldly.

"Mas Dirga and Mbak Yana will be there. You know for yourself what the nature of Mbak Yana is. Hana won't stay there and I'll be far away to go home, Yu. If I force Hana to contract the house too pity she's pregnant, she's afraid to be alone, Yu."

Going home? I don't know why I heard this word I was so upset. Go home not only to see my mother, but to see others. And also ... What was that? I tried to remind him all this time to find a contract for the woman and now the answer is proven to be why until the woman remains at home. Fear .. and one other reason. Haha .. It's funny my life is now.

"Then I'll just contract." I replied coldly. I put the food in my mouth. It was bland rice with rendang that Mas Hilman bought earlier. It was no longer as good as when the first mouthful got to five.

"I have some savings. If you don't want Hana out of that house let me get out of there!" say me without caring. Unexpectedly eating with emotion making food on rice paper was quick toilet, just a few more bribes.

Mas Hilman stopped eating, I saw his hands just silently propped up on his knees.

"Yu, I beg you. It is better to use that money for our future. Don't get carried away with your selfishness ...."

The selfishness he said?

I looked at Mas Hilman with a sharp look. He was a little stunned when he saw me like that. Maybe because all this time my gaze has always been gentle towards her.

"Your selfish family. I beg you, Mas. If you don't want him out of that house, let me give up. I'm not strong enough to live with you guys." I stood up, Mas Hilman looked at me with a gaze that. Begging you? Getting angry? Saddened then?

I walked towards the bathroom in the room. My mother was treated in the best room. I registered my mother with the help of a health security card, every month I have to deposit a tally to ease the cost when the mother is sick like this, although sometimes I also have to spend outside of the guarantee card.

"Yu, can't you not think about that? I beg you, Yu. Think again maturely. I can't help much with my mother's treatment if Hana or you keep insisting on contracting the house." Mas Hilman was already behind me who was now washing my hands in the sink. Without stopping the movement of my hand I turned my head to him.

"It's okay. I'm gonna get a job so I don't burden you, Mom. I can still work. I used to stop because of your request, I'm sure I still haven't forgotten how to work." I replied then turned off the water faucet and left Mas Hilman who is now silent, but still silent, then there was the sound of running water.

The food on the table had disappeared. There is only one long sofa. I walked up to my mother and sat next to her to sleep. Let the sofa to sleep Mas Hilman only. He would not be able to sleep if he did not lie down.

"Yes." Mas Hilman's voice sounded behind me. I turned my head and touched my lips with my index finger, asking him to stop talking. I'm sure he'll protest with my decision. I've known Mas Hilman for a long time. He'll keep talking until I agree not to do what I wanted.

Mas Hilman let out a rough sigh, he turned towards mom for a bit then walked towards the sofa. From the corner of my eyes I saw Mas Hilman sitting while folding both his hands in front of his stomach.

I kept silent for a long time looking at my mother. Mas Hilman was also still looking at me from his place. The corner of this eye can still see clearly if it stares at me without making a sound. It's still the way it used to be if Mas Hilman was angry and I asked him to shut up. He would look at me until I was bored and annoyed.

The sound of the phone echoed within this room, quite loudly. Mas Hilman took out the cellphone in his pants pocket and kept it on the table after the tone of the phone died.

I just kept quiet, didn't want to ask because my feeling was that it was a call from mom. Who else would call Mas Hilman these nights. Habit, if not I'm certainly a mother.

The voice of the phone was heard again, this time Mas Hilman's voice was heard. "What?! Hana fainted?!" Mas Hilman's voice was surprised he also upheld his seat, his face was tense as I turned this head to him.

"Yes. Hilman will be home soon!" I turned this face back on as Mas Hilman turned off the phone and walked towards me.

"Yes, I have to go home. Hana's passed out and mom's confused right now." Without waiting for a response from me Mas Hilman immediately stepped towards the sofa and took his car keys and quickly disappeared behind the door.

I just fell silent. If he always prioritized me, now his attention is divided with others.

Are you sure you feel the same way about me, Mom? Can we be like the old days with Hana among us?
