SUFFERING WITH IN-LAWS

My Love Claps Into the Hands of POV Lidya

Today I have to go to the airport to pick up my girlfriend. I heard from my friend if Celvin was my first college friend, today back to Indonesia. I canceled dinner with Mas Damar and Bianca just to pick up Celvin.

He continued his S2 studies in Singapore, actually I also want to continue S2 there as well. So that I can continue with her. But what power my mother can't afford me to go to college anymore.

My mother was a widow with two children, and was left dead by my father since I was 10 years old. Papa's legacy was sold out to survive and finance my school and Mas Damar.

When I wanted to continue S2 in Singapore, my family's economic situation was very bad. Even Damar who had worked could not afford to pay me to study abroad.

I finally decided to send a job application letter at the company where Mas Damar worked.

And good luck approached me, I was in a higher position than Mas Damar. You could say I became his superior mas Damar.

From there my family's economy began to improve. But still for the daily needs mas Damar it is who bear.

So when mas Damar decided to marry mbak Sarah woman of his tribe. Mama is very opposed, because it will be ascertained all the finances of Mas Damar will be controlled by his wife Sarah.

I waited for Celvin at the airport for an hour, finally he appeared also from behind the door of foreign arrival. I saw him walking with his Papi, "so he came home to get his papa" I murmured.

"But there's something strange, who's the veiled woman next to Celvin?" my question is in my heart.

Without waiting for long, I called him.

"Celvin...". call me. I'll get you a hand.

He turned to look at me. And he came to me.

"They? what are you doing here? pick someone up?" it was her asking that made me so embarrassed.

I'm here to pick her up but why would she ask like that.

"Vin why are my messages never answered? my phone also you never pick up. You forget me". My headshot is spoiled as if I were her lover

"Sorry Lid, I've been busy lately, so I haven't seen your messages. Why aren't my questions answered? what are you doing here?" ask Celvin again

"I'm here to pick you up Vin, I'm horrified from your friend if you come home today to Indonesia. So I had time to pick you up here. Who is Vin?" I asked while pointing at the veiled woman beside Celvin.

"So you came to pick me up?? Well Lidya why do you have to bother anyway? I have a driver. That's my papi on the phone with my driver". Celvin replied while pointing at his papi who was calling across the street.

"Trus is who Vin is?" I asked the woman next to Celvin.

"oh. know this Mayang my girlfriend and we'll get engaged soon. Mayang introduce this Lidya my old college friend".

When he heard Celvin's answer it felt like this body was struck by lightning in broad daylight. My legs feel limp like they're boneless.

The man I wanted to be in college and until now wanted to be engaged to another woman.

"So you want to get engaged to Vin.

I could not feel my tears running down my cheeks, wanting to scream. Not accepting all this.

"Lid, what's wrong with you? why are you crying?". asked Celvin.

"Vin, you're the same as me. I love you Vin. But why would you want to get engaged to that woman. I express all my feelings of love without the slightest shame.

"Love? since when is Lid? but I've assumed you're just a friend no more than that.

"From the time we went to college together, and you used to drive me home. That's me Uda's got a taste of Vin's same you."

"Celvin.....!!!". call his papi Celvin from afar while waving.

"Yes Pi.." replied Celvin slightly shouting.

"I went home first, Lid, that's my papi called. I'm sorry I can't invite you to my engagement. Because only attended by the nuclear family". said Celvin who managed to cut my heart.

"No Vin, I don't accept any of this. I can't accept that you have to be engaged to that woman.I'm the only one who deserves to be your wife Vin.

"Lid was ashamed to see people, Uda stop your crying". Celvin pointed at the people around me watching me cry.

"I said yes, Lid. Come on, let's go home". lead Celvin to the veiled woman.

Celvin walked towards his papi, and I just walked through it without the slightest pity on me.

"Your staff Vin!!!! I can't take it with all this!!!!". I shouted. It's like I'm shameless screaming at the airport, no matter what everyone sees me.

Celvin passed by without caring about me, and he disappeared behind the door of the luxury car that picked him up.

"Braven you Vin, I don't accept all this humiliation. You have to feel what I feel right now. Pain, shame and injury. I don't accept your treatment this is Celvin.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

When I got home, I got out of the car. I ran to the room crying. No matter when my mom asks me.

I lock the bedroom door, I throw everything on the dresser.

I took the vase on the nightstand, and I threw it in my dresser mirror.

PAAAAARR....

My dresser mirror broke and scattered. I heard Mom screaming. And I'm not concerned about it at all.

"Ladya, Lidya..!!! you why? open the door!!!!!" my mother banged on my bedroom door.

I was crying hysterically, the door was getting stronger.

The more hysterical I get, the more my mom screams at me.

"Open Lid's door, what's up? Let's tell the same story mama". said mama from outside the room door.

"Where is Damar not coming home, how is this? the phone is also inactive. Send unread messages. Cook Damar nginep at Sarah's house ", said mama confusion sounded from inside my room.

"Lidya, let's open the door, son. Why you?". woo mom.

I was still crying hysterically, remembering the incident at the airport. It's so embarrassing.

It turns out that all this time my love was clapping one hand.
