Margaret brought her toast with two glasses of hot milk for herself and her mother to the table where her mother was waiting.
"Margareth, do you do this all by yourself every day?" Madame Agatsa asked, holding a fork and a bread-cutting knife in both hands.
"Yes mom....." Margaret chewed her breakfast.
"Why not hire a housekeeper, so that your life is easier, because you have done many things in your workplace. And the responsibility of a doctor isn't it pretty heavy for Margaret?" Madame Agatsa said when she saw the life her daughter lived alone in the area.
"I will still live alone mom, there is not much homework that I have to do. Most wash my dirty clothes and iron them when they are dry. Just prepare my own food in the morning and at night. Cleaning the house on holiday. It's simple, mom....." Clearly Margaret while spending her last mouthful.
"Then....what if you get married later..... do you want to do everything by yourself as well as now?" Mrs Agatsa drank her hot milk a few sips.
"Of course not mom..... But I'll have my husband do all the housework....." Margareth's words casually choked Lady Agatsa and rounded her eyes to look at her indifferent daughter.
"What did you say Margaret....!?"
"Handering mom..... Seriously very....." Margaret smiled broadly at her mother's response when she heard her joke.
"Hurry up and pack up Margaret, you'll have to come home today." Mrs Agatsa put down the glass of milk she had just finished.
"Mom's...... I don't want to pack.and I don't want to go home....." Margaret was still sitting in her chair.
"Why?" Lady Agatsa looked at her daughter's face.
"It looks like I'm the only one who wants to get married, but Mr. Harry doesn't!" Margaret's voice arrived - it was still.
"Enough Margaret......! Stop all your negative thoughts about Harry!" Madame Agatsa's voice echoed in the dining hall.
"That's mommy's reality, Mr. Harry is more concerned with his busy life without paying any attention to me. What happens if we get married later. I don't want mom.....! Before everything is done, and the rice has become porridge, we better cancel everything." Margaret tried to get her mother back to understanding.
Madame Agatsa looked at her daughter's face, which seemed strongly opposed to her marriage. I don't know what his daughter experienced, until the wedding that was just waiting for the day just wanted him to cancel it.
"Are you serious about what you say, Margaret?" Firmly mistress Agatsa, and lowered her tone.
Margaret tried to swallow her saliva with great difficulty. "Yes.... Margaret was serious mom.." Margaret's voice rattled, she lowered her voice from before.
"Well..mommy can't force you." Madame Agatsa flat.
Margaret could see many changes happening to her mother. Usually, if he was against what his family had decided, it was his mother who was on the front row to force him to do what was decided.
But now it looks different, his mother is no longer the same and his mother does not argue anymore.
"All right, now mommy's coming back. You can stay here, just do what you think is good for you, Margaret. As your mother, mommy just wants what's best for you, baby." Mrs Agatsa then took the phone from her bag. He seems to be calling someone.
Margaret was glued to her seat staring at her mother, she did not expect her mother to agree with her attitude.
After calling, Madam Agatsa stood up from her seat and shifted the chair behind her.
"Margareth.... didn't you give mommy a hug before mommy came home?" Margaret immediately rushed towards her mother who was still standing on the side of her dining table.
"Mommy said goodbye first.. You're fine in your house." Lady Agatsa hugged Margaret tightly. Margaret could feel the warm embrace of affection from her mother.
"Mommy's not mad at me?" Margaret asked her mother, she hugged her mother tightly.
"There's no point in mommy getting angry. Mommy married you to Harry, so you can live happily with him, not to watch you suffer with the wedding plans." Obviously mother.
"Mommy will withdraw all invitations that have been spread. And so did Harry's family. Mommy go home first." Lady Agatsa took Margaret's embrace off her. Margaret's hand seemed unwilling to let go of her mother.
Margaret's tears welled up as she let her mother out of her house. He could not deliver his mother to the front of the house. Margaret's body sagged as she listened to the front door of her house being opened and closed again by her mother.
The pain that Margaret felt was so heartbreaking, when she remembered the words of her mother that would withdraw all the invitations that her family and Harry's family had spread.
Margaret went into her room and threw her body on her bed. He buried his face there and cried out - so, let out all the negative energy in his heart. His heart felt so empty.
That day Margaret was just crying for herself in her bedroom. He did not care about the sound of his phone that was busy ringing throughout the day as well as some notifications - incoming message notifications.
"Why Mr. Harry... Why is this sick as much love as you offer me?" Breath Margaret.
He got up from his bed and sat down on his dresser. Staring at his puffy face from the reflection of the mirror in front of him. Red and swollen. It looks so sad.
Margaret grabbed her phone on the dresser and checked it out. There are a lot of incoming calls and messages that are lined up there. Flatly expressed gratitude for the wedding invitation he and Harry had received. Margaret's feelings were mixed again.
Margaret's stomach suddenly felt very hungry, it turns out the wall clock in her room has shown at 5 pm. Apparently, during that time he was drifting in a troubled mood.
He rushed to the kitchen. Processing some food that is still available in the refrigerator.
Finished filling his hungry stomach. Margaret immediately went to the bathroom and cleaned herself there.
Margaret felt that her body was refreshed, unlike before. His eyes still looked puffy from crying all day.
Margaret looked at her things in some of her closets. He packed what he really needed, like his medical equipment.
After everything was enough, Margaret returned to her camp to rest herself that night. His physical and mental fatigue finally made Margaret fall asleep easily.

"Sister-in-law, thank goodness you've come......" Yurina was so happy when she saw Margaret appear in the family room that afternoon. He hugged Margaret.
"How was your trip here sister-in-law? Why don't you tell us to pick you up...." Yurina asked as she let go of her embrace.
"Everything's fine, sister-in-law. I really remember the way home, so there's no way I'm gonna get lost." He said with a smile.
"Have you had lunch?" Ask Yurina again.
"A sister-in-law..... "
"Then you rest in your room. Because tonight we're going to the wedding of Dr. Rosalie and Mr. Reporter." Margaret was surprised when she heard that her best friend was getting married before her.
