The Deepest Regrets of a Husband

Gabriel's heartfelt expression to his mother

After trying to stay calm. Gabriel finally began to speak.

"Ma, earlier Gabriel apologized to Mama. If El's attitude might now be against Mama" said El began the conversation.

"Mama is aware no. If Gabriel's been quiet all this time because Gabriel's been keeping Mama's feelings in check. During this time El accepted all the problems that befell the El household because it was the result of Gabriel's own fault. El's wrong and Nandini's innocent Ma."

"I don't know what you've done and planned on my life. I'm a fool Ma. Gabriel was stupid and so bad to be a husband. El is stupid because he believes the story of Mama's essay" said Gabriel with emotion in the chest.

"Gabriel knows all of Mama's plans. Gabriel knows the affair is not between Nandini and Rafael. And for the case in that bathroom. What made Rafael see my own wife's body was also not spared from Mama's plan to damage my view of Nandini and also cut off my friendship with Rafael. Why is Mama so long." said Gabriel now with a reddened face holding all the disappointment against him and also anger at the Mama.

And Rohana could only stand still without struggling to hear the words of the son.

"What Mama has done to Gabriel and Nandini Ma's married life. You can pretend to be innocent, ignorant and not even want to know. It's up to Mama. But one thing Ma. Now Gabriel wants to say something to Mama. Although El already knows Mama's evil intentions towards Gabriel and Nandini's marriage. Gabriel won't be mad at Mama. But I want to hear Mama's confession now. There was no affair between Nandini and Rafael. All the events that happened before Gabriel's eyes were all set. And it was all Mama's strategy to make El angry with Nandini. And now all of Mama's plans are working. Nandini leaves El. Please admit it's all Ma."

With a haughty face, Rohana straightened her head and looked at Gabriel.

"Yes, Mama did. Because Mama hates your wife Nandini, Gabriel." replied Rohana firmly.

There didn't even seem to be a face of regret from Rohana. Because the rot has been dismantled by his own son.

For a moment, the mother and child looked at each other. Rohana with his arrogance and Gabriel with his stubbornness.

"Did Mama forget, Mama almost lost me. Mama should know, if my happiness is only with Nandini. What Mama was looking for. Wealth, we're already rich Ma. Equality of degrees, it has no benefit. Because Gabriel is a man who has to take responsibility for his wife. What because Nandini is poor and not a graduate. But she's a smart and independent woman Ma. Do not be too selfish to impose your will on your child. All of this only makes us suffer. And now I'm not happy with my life. And Mama knows what causes it. Now Gabriel is haunted by guilt and regret for Nandini. He doesn't deserve any ill treatment from us all. Nandini married El. He's been trying to show that he's not as materialistic as Mama's alleged. He's still working hard."

"Enough Gabriel! Enough's enough!" rohanas exclaimed while covering both ears.

Silence and a tense atmosphere enveloped the two of them.

This was the most conflicted debate between Gabriel and Rohana.

I don't want to continue that discussion. Without saying a word. Gabriel immediately left the mother's room.

Gabriel left the room. Suddenly Rohana's chest felt tight.

He did not think that the son was really fighting him now.

When Rohana felt her breath tight. Rohana then took out a tool that she placed in the desk drawer in her room.

Rohana then used the tool to make his breathing can be better.

After his breathing was back to normal. Rohana then exited the room and met his guests who were already waiting in the living room.

He felt bad about leaving his guests too long.

While Gabriel himself did not pay attention to his guests. He climbed the stairs to his room.
