Take Back My Husband

Must Choose

"Are you cheating on me with Chelsea, Arya?"

Arya was immediately stunned to hear the question thrown by the mother, she was unable to answer, her tongue suddenly felt faint.

"ANSWER, ARYA!" snapped Miss Irma with teary eyes, Arya's silence seemed to be the answer she was so afraid of.

"Ma, I .. I don't mean to do this," said Arya who immediately bowed in lethargy.

Ms. Irma immediately felt weak, her legs seemed unable to stand on the ground, so she suddenly felt dazed and almost fell.

Arya wanted to come closer to help the mother, but Ms. Irma immediately brushed her son off.

"How can you do this, Arya?" lirih Bu Irma with a trembling voice. "What's Lea's lack, huh?"

"He's perfect, Ma" Arya replied. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize to Mama!" shouted Miss Irma with tears flowing down her cheeks. "I apologize and prostrate there in front of your wife's child, who always faithfully accompanies you in every circumstance."

Arya was unable to speak, even to look into the eyes of the mother she was unable to.

"Mama's ashamed of Lea, Arya!" said Ms. Irma while wiping her tears. "He respected us so much, treated us like his own biological parents, he's been loyal to you since you were nobody. And here's your reply, huh?"

Arya was still silent, she knew what her mother said was very true.

"Mama is disappointed with you, Arya! I'm ashamed to call you Mama's son!"

...🦋...

While on the other hand, Chelsea called the Doctor to check on the situation of the Mother. And he was so grateful his mother was just in shock, and didn't need to be hospitalized.

However, Chelsea was also sad because the mother did not talk to him.

"I have to go to the office, Ma," Chelsea said later. "Today I promise I'll be home sooner."

Ms. Erni did not respond, even she seemed reluctant to look at her daughter.

"I'm sorry" Chelsea exclaimed later. "I didn't mean to make Mama like this."

"Then why did you make Mama like this?" Finally, Mrs Erni made a sound.

"I'm the same Arya loves each other, Ma" said Chelsea who made her mother stunned.

"Are you stupid or crazy, Chelsea?" lirih the Mother.

"I know I'm stupid" Chelsea said. "I must also be crazy for loving my best friend's husband, but what should I do? The feeling came alone, I also didn't want to hurt Lea."

Ms. Erni immediately closed her eyes with her arms, she came back crying, ashamed of herself. He felt that he failed to educate his son, especially considering that Lea had been very good, not only at Chelsea, but also at him.

In fact, what always saved Chelsea from the violence of her ex-husband was Lea.

Chelsea had also been in the ER for being beaten by her ex-husband, and Lea paid for all of the treatment.

"Go!" exclaim Miss Erni with a choked voice. "Go and apologize to Lea, and remember all the good she did to you, Chelsea."

Chelsea shook their head, obviously he did not have the courage to appear in front of Lea. On the one hand, he was ashamed and afraid of Leah's anger. On the other hand, he did not want to let go of Arya.

"Mas Arya will promise to marry me, Ma" Chelsea said. "I know this is wrong, but I also deserve my own happiness, is that wrong too?"

...🦋...

After breaking down and releasing all his heartache on Chelsea, Lea went to the grave of her parents. There he complained and cried a bit, Lea really needs a place to lean in at the moment, but she felt she had no one else.

"What's my fault, Ma?" Lea rubbed the gravestone engraved on the mother's name. "What was my lack until he had to look for her to another woman."

Lea's tears fell incessantly, making her eyes puffy.

"I struggled to stay with my husband, keeping my little family happy. I even left my career to be a good wife and mother, but it was lacking, Ma. Am I wrong, or is he wrong?"

"My son is wrong!"

Lea looked up when she heard that voice.

"Ma?" lirih Lea saw her mother-in-law coming.

After meeting Arya, Ms. Irma looked for Lea to her home, also to her parents' house, but there was nothing. While Darrel continued to cry worriedly, he was afraid that his mother was crying alone. Finally, Ms. Irma came to the tomb of Leah's parents and her conjecture was not wrong.

"The wrong Arya, dear," said Ms. Irma as she approached Lea. "He was blinded by lust, until he could not see the angel in front of him."

"If I'm an angel, why is she double?" lirih Lea's. "That too with .. with ...." Lea could not continue her words.

"As Mama said, she was blinded by lust," said Ms. Irma and she suddenly calmed down in front of Lea, leaving Lea shocked.

"Ma! What did Mama do!" Leah tried to pull her mother-in-law up, but Ms. Erma didn't want to.

"If the child makes a mistake when he already knows what is wrong and right, then the one to blame is his parents" said Ms. Irma. "Maybe we miseducated Arya, so we're really apologizing to you, Lea."

"You are not wrong!" rebut Lea who immediately hugged her mother-in-law. "It's her fault, it's their fault that both of them are dark eyes and hearts."

"Then you are not wrong, either" said Ms. Irma. "You don't have any shortcomings that are the reason Arya cheated, her actions have nothing to do with you, Lea. He only ate his momentary pleasure.

Leah no longer spoke, but this time she stopped crying and tried to think calmly.

Right, Lea thinks she's not wrong. During her time as Arya's wife, and being Darrel and Jihan's mother, Lea always did everything as well as she could. Then how could he be wrong?

"I'm getting a divorce, Mama," said Lea, to her surprise. "Everything is broken, I don't want to be his wife anymore, I'm just going to be the son of our children."

"Lea, what's your choice not to be too hasty?"

"No, Ma, I do have to choose now because I don't want to be the clown of those two people."
